avec Bonaparte;〃 introduction; p。  126。  … (A few days before

Vendémiaire 13; Fiévée; in the name of the Theatre…Fran?ais section;

came; with two other commissioners; to verify the returns announced by

the Convention。) 〃We divided the returns into three parts; each

commissioner undertook to check off one of these parts; pen in hand;

and the conscientious result of our labor was to show that; although

the Convention had voting done in a mass by all the regiments then in

France; individually; the majority; incontestably was against its

project。  Thus; while trying to have the election law passed under the

Constitution; both measures were rejected。〃



'21' Schmidt; 〃Tableaux de Paris pendant la Revolution。〃 (Reports of

Messidor 1 and 24; year III。) 〃Good citizens are alarmed at the

numerous pardons granted to the members of the revolutionary

committees。〃 〃The release of numerous terrorists is generally turned

to account。〃 … Mallet…Dupan; 〃 Correspondance;〃 etc。; I。; 259; 261;

321。  〃The vilest terrorists have been set free; a part of them

confined in the chateau of Ham have been allowed to escape; they are

summoned from all parts of the kingdom; they even send for them

abroad; in Germany; in Belgium; in Savoy; in Geneva。  On reaching

Paris they are given leaders and organized。  September 11 and 12 they

began to meet publicly in groups and to use threats。  I have proof of

emissaries being engaged in recruiting them in the places I have

mentioned and in paying their expenses to the capital。〃 (Letter of

September 26; 1795。)

'24' Mallet…Dupan; ibid。; I。; 282。  (Letter of August 16; 1795。) 〃At

Paris; the patriots of 1789 have got the upper hand。  The regicides

have the greatest horror of this class because they regard it as a

hundred times more dangerous than pronounced aristocrats。〃 Ibid。; 316。

… …Meissner; p。  229。  〃The sectionists want neither a republic nor

monarchy but simply intelligent and honest men for the places in the

new Convention。〃



'25' Lavalette; 〃Mémoires;〃 I。; 162; 170。



'26' Meissner; p。  236。  … Any number of details show the features and

characters of the male and female Jacobins here referred to。  For

example; Carnot; (〃Mémoires;〃 I。; 581;) says in his narrative of the

foregoing riot; (Prairial 1st。): 〃A creature with a horrible face put

himself astride my bench and kept constantly repeating: 〃To…day is the

day we'll make you passer le gout de pain? and furies posted in the

tribunes; made signs of the guillotine。〃

'28' Mallet…Dupan; I。; 333; and following pages。  (Letter of October

24; 1795。) 〃Barras does not repeat the mistake made by the Court on

the 10th of April; and shut himself up in the chateau and the

Tuileries; he posts troops and artillery in all the avenues。  。  。  。

Fréron and two other representatives; supplied with coin and assignats

collected in the faubourg Saint…Antoine; four or five hundred bandits

which joined the terrorists; these formed the pretended battalions of

the loyal section which had been pompously announced to the

Convention。  No section; excepting the〃 Quinze…vingts;〃 sent its

battalion; this section having separated at the outset from the other

forty…seven sections。  。  。  。  The gardens and court of the Tuileries

resembled a feasting camp; where the Committees caused distributions

of wine and all sorts of provisions; many of their defenders were

intoxicated; the troops of the line were kept loyal with money and

drink。〃… After Vendemiaire 13; the Convention brings further

reinforcements of regular troops into Paris to keep the city under;

amounting to eight or nine thousand men。

'32' Archives Nationales; AF。; II。; 65。  (Letter of Gen。  Kermorvan;

to the Com。  of Public Safety; Valenciennes; Fructidor 22; year III。)

At Valenciennes; during the elections; 〃the leaders of the sections

used their fists in driving out of the primary assemblies all the

worthy men possessing the necessary qualities for election。  。  。  。

I knew that the 〃seal…breakers;〃 (brise…scellés); were the promoters

of these turbulent parties; the patriotic robbers; the men who have

wasted public and private fortunes belonging to the commune; and who

are reveling in the houses and on the estates of the émigrés which

they have had awarded to them at a hundred times below their value。  。

。  。  All of them are appointed electors。  。  。  。  They have paid 。

。  。  。  and still pay agitators to intimidate honest folks by terror;

in order to keep what they have seized; awaiting an opportunity to get

more。  。  。  。  When the elections were over they sent daring men;

undoubtedly paid; to insult people as they passed; calling them

royalist chouans。〃 (He mentions the dispatch of supporting

affidavits。) … Mercier; 〃Le Nouveau Paris;〃 II。; 315。  〃Peaceable

people in Paris refuse to go to the polls;〃 so as to 〃avoid being

struck and knocked down。〃 … Sauzay; VIII。; 9。  At Besan?on; Nov。  6;

1795; out of 5;309 registered voters; only 1;324 vote and the elected

are terrorists。  … Archives Nationales; F。7; 7090。  (Documents on the

Jacobin insurrection of Niv?se 4 and 5; year IV。; at Arles): 〃The

exclusives; or amnestied; regarded the Constitution only as a means of

arriving at a new state of anarchy by getting possession of all the

offices。  。  。  。  Shouts and cries of Vive Marat! and Robespierre to

the Pantheon! were often repeated。   The principal band was composed

of genuine Terrorists; of the men who under Robespierre's reign bore

the guillotine about in triumph; imitating its cruel performances on

every corner with a manikin expressly made for the occasion。〃 

〃Domiciliary visits; rummaging everywhere; stealing jewelry; money;

clothes; etc。〃
