Jean-Lambert TALLIEN. Autograph Apostille signed, Paris 20 pluviose XII (February 10, 1804), 11 lines in the margin of a L.A.S. from Joseph-Eugène Beauvoisins, "to the Conseiller d'État Réal specially in charge of the security of the Interior of the Republic"; 2 1/2 pages in-fol. (From the Rousselin de Saint-Albin papers). 

 Curious report on Cadoudal, one month before his arrest (March 9, 1804). 
 Beauvoisins noticed on the Boulevard Poissonnière a cabriolet and recognized in it "the brigand and the villain Georges [...] he was dressed in a fashionable colored frock coat, wore a round hat, and had a yellow silk cravat on his collar. He told Tallien about this encounter the same day, but hesitated for some time before reporting it to the Secret Police... 
 Tallien writes: "I declare that the Citizen Beauvoisins spoke to me about eight days ago about the meeting he believed to have made with Georges in a street of Paris and that the only cause of his momentary silence was the fear of making a statement that did not seem to him to be authentic enough.
