Debate Over Belgium Debt Liquidation In Revolutionary Council
On motion of Craftons the Commission of Finances adopted a project on liquidating the public debt of the pretended Belgium. Juliet Souhait urged opposing payment of debts contracted by the Emperor after Dumourier’s treason. A request to repeal the resolution was moved and debated. The Council sent a message to the Directory for debt details and ordered remittances of 1,200,000 livres on land tax and 200,000 on movable property. Decrees funded public lectures, gymnastic games, and memorial hymns to departed heroes.
