Volume 3 (of 6) by Hippolyte A. Taine]@TWC D-Link book Volume 3 (of 6) 54/70 Fauchet proposes the following decree: "All partial treaties actually existent are declared void. The National Assembly substitutes in their place alliances with the English, the Anglo-American, the Swiss, Polish, and Dutch nations, as long as they will be free.. When other nations want our alliance, they have only to conquer their freedom to have it. Let us occupy the towns in the neighborhood which bring our adversaries too near us... Mayence, Coblentz, and Worms are sufficient"-- Ibid.,, p.215 (session of Jan.25). |
