Leonard Bourdon faced failure as his proposed Revolutionary Club failed to attract attendees. A grand decadary feast planned by the Directorial Commissioner drew only two Frenchmen and twenty unknown foreigners, shrinking the event to a poorly attended dinner. The French government demands 12 million from the three Hanseatic towns, with Hamburg to settle quotas with Lübeck and Bremen. A Paris envoy stayed 24 hours, and a further offer of several million was made, but likely rejected.

Report from Hanau on March 1 details that ratification of the Deputies of the German Empire consilium faces opposition from the Imperial Plenipotentiary who sees the empire’s sacrifice as excessive. A conference between Baron Adini and the Imperial Plenipotentiary reportedly pressed for orders before assent. It is believed that after the left bank of the Rhine is ceded, French plenipotentiaries will push secularization of ecclesiastical states and a new German constitution and division plan.
