ABSTRACT
These opinions are purely speculative. Among the avowed partisans of anarchy or royalty, no one wishes to run the risks of another revolution; and no one, above all, is inclined to take up arms or to foment disturbances in order to secure the victory of one or other of these parties. I have noticed merely that among the individuals currently employed in the prefecture of the Calvados who are attached to the Constitution of the Year III, some continuing hopes of appointing to posts all those who share their opinion. And in order to achieve this objective, they pursue the policy of informing and denunciation which proved successful so often during the time of revolutionary turmoils. The government should investigate this matter which breeds distrust between administrators and those whom they administer.
