Tournee in the North and in Belgium, while he prepares the ceremony of the Coronation, and that he worries about finances.
Calais 19 thermidor. He waits for "the report of the Grand Master of the Ceremonies on Notre-Dame to settle the objects relative to the coronation. I gave to Maret the decree on the coats| I approved it. I consider it unnecessary to make a special decree for this purpose. I made the decree which appoints
CHAPTAL Senator. I have entrusted PORTALIS with the interim portfolio [of
Cults]. It would be a bad thing to have a pension. I named Portalis the son minister near the Elector archchancellor [Dalberg] in Ratisbonne "...
Dunkirk 22 thermidor. He is not satisfied with the explanations of
Cambaceres: "the rules are not followed. [...] The bonds hardly signed by the Minister of Finances [Gaudin] must be put in the large wallet, from where they can leave only by an order. I did not authorize the release of any bonds from the year 13. Please let it be known that the mature bonds [autograph correction] which are on the market are to be withdrawn immediately, it is to discredit the Treasury
Public to issue them from [autograph] this period. Not only are they not on deposit, but they are even traded. I know people who have bought them. I am very much afraid that our Treasury is going in the wrong direction. Continue to take clarifications on this subject. How does it happen that these bonds, if they were only put on deposit, are traded and sold on the market? Tell the Treasury
that none should leave the Portfolio except by my order. I am not condemning the Minister of the Treasury| he is too much of a friend of the rules to have allowed bonds from the year 14 to leave the Portefeuille.
However Maret assures me that I did not sign anything relating to that".
Dunkirk 22 thermidor: "I intend to leave this night for Ostend. I spent the day to maneuver the troops. See to it that all that is relative to the coronation works. I am very well, although they persist in Paris in making me sick. I do not conceive how it is not possible for the Police to arrest some of these peddlers of bad news which obviously are pushed by the English ".
Ostend 25 thermidor. "I am extremely satisfied with the battalion flotilla and the troops of the Camp of Bruges. I do not express my dissatisfaction to the minister of the Treasury on the bad agiotage which one makes of our bonds because I believe it still in the Department of the Eure. Have his first clerk called to finish these matters". It is also necessary to summon DESPREZ [regent of the Bank of France] and to tell him "how much I was irritated by the abuse of confidence of his company which, as a result of its operations with the Treasury, received bonds which it sold. If they were paid to discredit us and to do crazy and insane operations, they would not act otherwise. [...] The promoters believed that there were arrears from the year 9. This is so contrary to my principles that I can hardly believe it. [...] make put in the
Moniteur an article well struck which makes feel that there is no arrears ".
Ostend 27 thermidor. He did not receive the letter of Barbé-Marbois. "As for the bonds of the year 14 that he believes were not negotiated on the square, he is in error| because I saw some. This is how one deceives this minister and that in the most beautiful prosperity, one disorganizes our finances"...
Etaples 3 fructidor. "I am in Etaples, I will remain there a few days. There is nothing new. I intend to remain still some time in these cantons, between Boulogne, St Omer & Arras, and to be in Aix la Chapelle in ten or twelve days ".
Arras 11 fructidor. He is "satisfied with the spirit of this Department. It would be necessary to deal with making pay by the diligences and other public cars the million which the maintenance of the posts costs us| this million is a very heavy burden for the treasury, and is insufficient to maintain the Posts.
- The Court of Cassation costs a million. I would like that by a duty put on the products of this Court, one gained this million. Finally, I would like to see a special law, which would precede the civil and judicial codes, to reduce the costs of justice by three million [...] These five million would be a great burden on the Treasury. There is also one thing that all the Departments demand, and that is the abolition of the right of passage. All agree that a tax on horses and cattle would be the best way to abolish it,
