the deliberations of the Nantes sections。 The act is signed by the

factions a blow on the head with the club of Hercules。〃

and Ysabeau to the Convention。 The 19th of Aug。 At the Hotel de
Ville of Bordeaux; they eulogize the 21st of January: 〃There was then
a roar as frightful as it was general。 A city official coolly replied
to us: What would you have? To oppose anarchy we have been forced to
join the aristocrats; and they rule。〃 Another says ironically to
Ysabeau: 〃We did not anticipate that; they are our tribunes。〃

the district of Andelys)。 〃One of members observed that there would
be a good deal of trouble in raising an armed force of one thousand
men。〃 … An administrator (a commissioner of Calvados) replied: 〃We
shall have all the aristocrats on our side。〃 The principal military
leaders at Caen and at Lyons; Wimpffen; Précy; Puisaye; are Feuillants
and form only a provisional alliance with the Girondists properly so
called; Hence constant contentions and reciprocal mistrust。 Birotteau
and Chapet leave Lyons because they do not find the spirit of the
place sufficiently republican。

are not the one to march at the head of battalions (departmental)。 It
would have the appearance of gratifying personal vengeance。〃

authorities of Marseilles; June 7。)
'62' Guillon de Montléon; II。; 40。 The contrast between the two
parties is well shown in the following extract from the letter of a
citizen of Lyons to Kellerman's soldiers。 〃They tell you that we want
to destroy the unity of the republic; while they themselves abandon
the frontiers to the enemy in order to come here and cut their
brethren's throats。〃

Conventionnels d'Auvergne;〃 p。 181。 … Louvet; 193。 … Moniteur;
XVII。; 101。 (Speech of Cambon; July 11)。 〃We have preferred to
expose these funds (one hundred and five millions destined for the
army) to being intercepted; rather than to retard this dispatch。 The
first thing the Committee of Public Safety have had to care for was to
save the republic and make the administrations fully responsible for
it。 They were fully aware of this; and accordingly have allowed the
circulation of these funds 。 。 。 They have been forced; through the
wise management of the Committee; to contribute themselves to the
safety of the republic。〃
'64' Archives Nationales; Letter of Robert Lindet; June 16; AF。 II。;
43。 The correspondence of Lindet; which is very interesting; well
shows the sentiments of the Lyonnese and the policy of the 〃Mountain。〃
〃However agitated Lyons may be; order prevails; nobody wants either
king or tyrant; all use the same language: the words republic; union;
are in everybody's mouth。〃 (Eight letters。) He always gives the same
advice to the Committee of Public Safety: 〃Publish a constitution;
publish the motives of the bills of arrest;〃 which are indispensable
to rally everybody to the Convention; (June 15)。

Council of the department of Loire…Inferieure; July 14。 The
department protests that its decree of July 5 was not 〃a rupture with
the Convention; an open rebellion against the laws of the State; an
idea very remote from the sentiments and intentions of the citizens
present。〃 Now; 〃the plan of a Constitution is offered to the
acceptance of the sovereign。 This fortunate circumstance should bring
people to one mind; and; with hope thus renewed; let us at once seize
on the means of salvation thus presented to us。〃 … Moniteur; XVII。;

disposition and sentiments of the provinces and of the public in
general; the reader will find ample and authentic details in the
narratives of the fugitives who scattered themselves in all
directions; and especially those of Louvet; Meillan; Dulaure; and
Vaublanc。) Cf。 the 〃Mémoires de Hua〃 and 〃Un Séjour en France in 1792
and 1795。〃 … Mallet…du…Pan already states this disposition before 1789
(MS。 Journal)。 〃June; 1785: The French live simply in a crowd; they
must all cling together。 On the promenades they huddle together and
jostle each other in one alley; the same when there is more space。〃
〃Aug。; 1787; (after the first riots): I have remarked in general more
curiosity than excitement in the multitude。 。 。 。 One can judge;
at this moment; the national character; a good deal of bravado and
nonsense; neither reason; rule nor method; rebellious in crowds; and
not a soul that does not tremble in the presence of a corporal。〃

'71' Mortimer…Ternaux; VIII。; 222。 … The insurrection of Toulon;
Girondist at the start; dates July 1st。 … Letter of the new
administrators of Toulon to the Convention。 〃W desire the Republic;
one and indivisible; there is no sign of rebellion with us。 。 。
Representatives Barras and Fréron lie shamefully in depicting us as
anti…revolutionaries; on good terms with the English and the families
of Vendée。〃 … The Toulon administrators continue furnishing the
Italian army with supplies。 July 19; an English boat; sent to parley;
had to lower the white flag and hoist the tri…color flag。 The entry
of the English into Toulon did not take place before the 29th of
August。
'72' Guillon de Montléon; II。; 67。 (Letter of the Lyonnese to the
representatives of the people; Sep。 20): 〃The people of Lyons have
constantly respected the laws; and if; as in some departments; that of
Rhone…et…Loire was for a moment mistaken in the events of May 31; they
hastened; as soon as they believed that the Convention was not
oppressed; to recognize and execute its decrees。 Every day; now that
these reach it; they are published and observed within its walls。〃
'73' Moniteur; XVII。; 269。 (Session of July 28)。 (Letter of the
administrators of the department of Rhone…et…Loire to the Convention;
Lyons; July 24)。 〃We present to the Convention our individual
recantation and declaration; in conforming to the law we are entitled
to its protection。 We petition the court to decide on our
declaration; and to repeal the acts which relate to us or make an
exception in our favor。 。 。 We have always professed ourselves to
be true republicans。〃

Toulon; December 19th。 … Bordeaux had submitted on the 2nd of August。
Exasperated by the decree of the 6th which proscribed all the abettors
of the insurrection; the city drives out; on the 19th; the
representatives Baudot and Ysabeau。 It submits again on the 19th of
September。 But so great is the indignation of the citizens; Tallien
and his three colleagues dare not enter before the 16th of October。
(Mortimer…Ternaux; VIII。; 197 and following pages。)
'78' Seventy thousand men were required to reduce Lyons; (Guillon de
Montléon; II。; 226) and sixty thousand men to reduce Toulon。
'79' Archives des Affaires étrangères; vol。 CCCXXIX。 (Letter of
Chépy; political agent; Grenoble; July 26; 1793)。 〃I say it
unhesitatingly; I had rather reduce Lyons than save Valenciennes。〃
'80' Ibid。; vol。 CCCXXIX。 (Letter of Chépy; Grenoble; August 24;
1793): 〃The Piedmontese are masters of Cluse。 A large body of
mountaineers have joined them。 At Annecy the women have cut down the
liberty pole and burnt the archives of the club and commune。 At
Chambéry; the people wanted to do the same; but they forced the sick
in the hospitals to take arms and thus kept them down。〃
'81' Moniteur; XVIII; 474。 (Report of Billaud…Varennes; October 18;
1793)。 〃The combined efforts of all the powers of Europe have not
compromised liberty and the country so much as the federalist
factions; the assassin the most to be dreaded is the one that lives in
the house。〃
'82' The convention purposely reinstates incendiaries and assassins。
