The citizen Daubigny has just uncovered the pot of roses, of the citizen Bailieul: (this is the title of a most violent work just published). This uncovered pot of roses does not smell balsamic. If it is not a pot of roses, it is a pot of something else; in fact, it is a pot of wine of an hundred thousand francs which Daubigny reproaches Bailleul with having received, for obtaining a contract of military equipments, in favor of a company. He reproaches him also with having rendered himself proprietor and seigneur paramount, of the chateaux, lands and seigniories of the ci-devant marquisate of Fonville and other places. This work being written in the revolutionary style, is difficult to read; its constructions are rarely French; but what of that? we discover therein certain facts which are sufficiently curious to indicate the personages who have enjoyed the first, turns upon the great scaffold of the revolution.
