I thought when I received this communication that the Commandant Baudot, "the jailer," had connived at its rapid transmission. A sign of the instability of the central power. Lamoricière, by the same means, put me in possession of some details concerning his arrest and that of his fellow-generals. These details complete those which I have already given.
How many dissidents are there, disguised as orthodox, charlatans disguised as patriots, and pashas disguised as sans-culottes? Add all this vermin to that which Marat seeks to crush out; it is no longer by hundreds of thousands, but by millions, exclaim Baudot, Jeanbon-Saint-Andre and Guffroy, that the guilty must be counted and cut off their heads!
Just was with the army, his companion Baudot relates that they astonished the soldiers by their intrepidity under fire. He adds that they had no merit, for they knew that they bore charmed lives, and that cannon balls could not touch them. That was the ardent and fanatical spirit that St. Just brought back with him.
"On the day that I am persuaded," writes Saint-Just, "that it is impossible to render the French people kind, energetic, tender and relentless against tyranny and injustice, I will stab myself." "What I have done in the South I will do in the North," says Baudot; "I will convert them into patriots; either they or I must die."
"We desired," writes Baudot, "to apply to politics the equality which the Gospel awards to Christians." "A man is not made for trades, nor for a workhouse nor for an alms-house; all this is frightful." Ibid., XXXI., 312.
On the Meyer and Baudot principle, the ordinary Morse sender has to wait for certain clicks, which indicate at which moment a letter may be sent; but on the Delany plan each of the six clerks can peg away as he chooses he can send at any rate he likes, and he is not disturbed in any way by having any sound to guide or control his ear. The Delany is a very promising system.
The Commandant's name is Baudot. His appointment, made by Cavaignac in 1848, was countersigned by Charras. Both are to-day his prisoners. The Commissary of Police, sent by Morny to the village of Ham to watch the movements of the jailer and the prisoners, is Dufaure de Pouillac."
Baudot, Lebas, Saint-Just, and the predecessors and successors in the army of the Rhine. Furious excitement. Lebon at Arras, and Carrier at Nantes. If intoxication is needed to awaken the brute, a dictatorship suffices to arouse the madman. The mental equilibrium of most of these new sovereigns is disturbed; the distance between what the man once was and what he now is, is too great.
It is an instrument that is dependent upon the principle introduced by Meyer, where time is divided into a certain number of sections, and where synchronous action is maintained between two instruments. This system has been worked out with great perfection in France by Baudot. We had a paper by Colonel Webber on the subject, before the Society, in which the process was fully described.
On the 2nd and 3rd of Thermidor, the Committee of Public Safety sends to Fouquier-Tinville a list of four hundred and seventy-eight accused persons with orders "to bring the parties named to trial at once." Baudot and Jean Bon St.
