 Nantes*®^ presented by deputies ; of Cliateau-Thierry, Pontivy, 

 Vernouillet-sur-Seine*^^ and Saint-Jean-de-Losne**^ presented by 

 the secretaries. Twenty-four addresses were ordered registered*^^ 

 and one of these (that of Nantes) was ordered attached to the 

 Proces-verhal of the assembly.*^^ On July lo it was " observed by 

 many that the addresses of adhesion which arrive every day from 

 the different parts of the kingdom merited, especially under the 

 circumstances, all the interest and special attention of the as- 

 sembly. It was agreed that the assembly would, in the future, 

 recognize these during the first half hour after the reading of the 

 Proces-verhal."^^^ 



All the addresses expressed admiration for the assembly and 

 many showed special appreciation of its action on June 17, 20, 23

^^^ Proces-verhal, 1,1^0. 20,2; Point du jour, I, 155; Assemhlee nationale, 

 I, 447. According to the Assemhlee nationale Target desired the reading 

 of the addresses, stating that some very interesting things had been dis- 

 closed in those which had been read. The Point du jour states that 

 Freteau proposed that eight people should be chosen to report to the 

 assembly before the addresses should be registered or printed, but that 

 this was opposed by Clermont-Tonnerre, who thought that this would 

 establish a sort of censure. M. Marguerittes then proposed the addresses 

 should be read when the assembly was forming. The Assemhlee nationale 

 states that the president proposed the addresses should be read at nine, so 

 that the time of the assembly could be saved.
