Renouard, counsellor of the Court of Cassation, to fill the duties of public accuser; and to fill those of greffier, M.

At the same time, an officer in the garrison of the citadel itself, Captain De Bours, undertook secretly to carry the fortress for the estates. His operations were secret and rapid.
