Translations for delegate in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

"The house at Passy was bought, for a mere song, by a delegate of the Commune, the very man who had arrested d'Ernemont, one Citizen Broquet. Citizen Broquet shut himself up in the house, barricaded the doors, fortified the walls and, when Charles d'Ernemont was at last set free and appeared outside, received him by firing a musket at him. Charles instituted one law-suit after another, lost them all and then proceeded to offer large sums of money. But Citizen Broquet proved intractable. He had bought the house and he stuck to the house; and he would have stuck to it until his death, if Charles had not obtained the support of Bonaparte. Citizen Broquet cleared out on the 12th of February, 1803; but Charles d'Ernemont's joy was so great and his brain, no doubt, had been so violently unhinged by all that he had gone through, that, on reaching the threshold of the house of which he had at last recovered the ownership, even before opening the door he began to dance and sing in the street. He had gone clean off his head."

— La maison de Passy fut achetée à vil prix par le délégué même de la Commune qui avait arrêté d’Ernemont, le citoyen Broquet. Le citoyen Broquet s’y enferma, barricada les portes, fortifia les murs, et lorsque Charles d’Ernemont, enfin libéré, se présenta, il le reçut à coups de fusil. Charles intenta des procès, les perdit, promit de grosses sommes. Le citoyen Broquet fut intraitable. Il avait acheté la maison, il la garda, et il l’eût gardée jusqu’à sa mort, si Charles n’avait obtenu l’appui de Bonaparte. Le 12 février 1803, le citoyen Broquet vida les lieux, mais la joie de Charles fut si grande, et sans doute son cerveau avait été bouleversé si violemment par toutes ces épreuves, que, en arrivant au seuil de la maison enfin reconquise, avant même d’ouvrir la porte, il se mit à danser et à chanter. Il était fou !
