pledged at the Mont de Piété, for a sum not exceeding twenty francs, could be taken out without any payment, provided the person who received the money on them could prove his identity. The Delegate for Finance was to arrange with the administration which advanced the money, for the mode of repayment. From a report of the last sitting held by the Commune, the expense of this measure would be about eight million francs.
A notice was issued by the Delegate of War that not more than two men could be admitted together in any fort or redoubt, unless in the case of a troop previously announced and expected. He also visited the Commune, and protested against all orders given directly by the Committee to generals and superior officers under his command, and repudiated all consequences which might result from that course.
