The thought that the general council of the commune had had that a plot was hatched against the ports of the State seemed to be on the verge of being realized, when the minister wrote on August 8 , 1793 to M. Chevillard , authorizing officer of the navy ( Ordonnateur de la Marine) : "the plan to set fire to the stores and arsenals is one of the enemies of the republic. I recommend that you exercise the most active and constant surveillance, to prevent its effects and to discover the accomplices of this horrible attack. "
