period the streets of Marseilles were almost those of a deserted town。
One could go from one end of the town to the other without meeting any
one he could call an inhabitant。 The great terrorists; of whom
scarcely one was a Marseillaise; the soldiers and roughs as they
called themselves; were almost the only persons encountered。〃 The
latter; to the number of fifty or sixty; in jackets with leather
straps; fell upon all whom they did not like; and especially on
anybody with a clean shirt and white cravat。 Many persons on the
〃Cours〃 were thus whipped to death。 No women went out…doors without a
basked; while every man wore a jacket; without which they were taken
for aristocrats。 (II。; 94。)

one may ask why should there be witnesses? The convention; all France;
accuses those on trial。 The evidence of their crimes is plain;
everybody is convinced of their guilt。 。 。 。 It is the Convention
which must remove all formalities that interfere with the course
pursued by the tribunal。〃 … Moniteur; XVII。; (Session of October 28);

'110' Mortimer…Ternaux; VIII。; 395; 416; 435。 The terror and disgust
of the majority is seen in the small number of voters。 Their

was preceded by another passed by a plurality of thirty against ten。
。 。 For two months the session the best attended; contains but one
hundred deputies。 The Montagnards overran the departments to deceive
or intimidate the people。 The rest; discouraged; keep away from the
meetings or take no part in the proceedings。〃
'111' The meaning and motives of this declaration are clearly
indicated in Bazire's speech。 〃Since the adoption of the
Constitution;〃 he says; 〃Feuillantism has raised its head; a struggle
has arisen between energetic and moderate patriots。 At the end of the
Constituent Assembly; the Feuillants possessed themselves of the words
law; order; public; peace; security; to enchain the zeal of the
friends of freedom; the same man?uvres are practiced to…day。 You must
shatter the weapon in your enemies' hands; which they use against
you。〃 … Durand…Maillane; 154。 〃The simple execution of constitutional
laws;〃 said Bazire; 〃made for peaceable times; would be impotent among
the conspiracies that surround you。〃 … Meillan; 108。
