'107' Buchez et Roux; XXVL 83。 Speech by Vergniaud to the convention;

session of April 20。 〃These facts  are accepted。 Nobody can contradict

them。 More than 10;000 witnesses would confirm them。〃  There are the

same proceedings at Lyons Jan。13; 1792; against the petition far an

appeal to the people (Guillon de Montléon; I。145; 155)。 The official

report of the Jacobins claims that the petition obtained 40;215

signatures。 〃The petition was first signed by about 200 clubbists; who

pretended to be the people。 。 。 They spread the report among the

people that all who would not sign the address would be blacklisted or

proscribed。 That's why they had desks set up in all the public

squares; and seized by the arm all who came; and forced them to sign。

As this approach did not prove fruitful they made children ten years

of age; women; and ignorant rustics put down their name。〃 They were

told that the object was to put down the price of bread。 〃I swear to

you that this address is the work a hundred persons at most; the great

majority of the citizens of Lyons desire to avail themselves of their

own sovereignty in the judgment of Louis。〃 (Letter of David of Lyons

to the president of the convention; Jan。 16。)



'108' 〃Fragment;〃 by Lanjuinais (in the memoirs of Durand…Maillane; p。

297)。



'109' Meillan; 113。



'110' Buchez et Roux; XXVI。 3!9 (May 12)。 … Meillan; 113。



'111' Buchez et Roux; XVI。 327。 On being informed of this the crowd

sent new deputies; the latter stating in relation to the others: 〃We

do not recognise them。〃



'112' Buchez et Roux; XXVI。 143。



'113' Buchez et Roux; XXVII。 175; May 23。



'114' Schmidt; I。 212。 Report of Dutard; May 13。 … I。 218。  〃A plot is

really under way; and many heads are singled out。〃 (Terrasson; May

'115' Buchez et Roux; XXVII 9。 Speech of Guadet to the Convention; May

14。



'116' Buchez et Roux; XXVII。 2。 Patriote Fran?ais; May 13。



'117' Schmidt; I 242。 Report of Dutard; May 18。 … Also 245。



'118' Schmidt; I 254。 Report of Dutard; May 19。



'119' Bergoeing; Chatry; Dubosq; 〃Pièces recueillies par la Commission

des Douze et publiées à Caen。〃 June 28; 1793 (in the 〃Mémoires〃 of

Meillan; pp。 176…198)。 Attempts at murder had already occurred。

〃Lanjuinais came near being killed。 Many of the deputies were insulted

and threatened。 The armed force joins with the malefactors; we have

accordingly no means of repression。〃 (Mortimer…Ternaux; VII。562;

letter of the deputy Michel to his constituents; May 20。)



'120' Bergoeing; 〃Pièces; etc。〃  Meillan; pp。 39 and 40。  The

depositions are all made by eye witnesses。 The propositions for the

massacre were made in the meetings at the town…hall; May 19; 20 and

21; and at the Cordeliers club May 22 and 23。



'121' The Jacobins at Lyons plot the same thing (Guilion de Montléon;

248)。 Chalier says to the club: 〃We shall not fail to have 300 noted

heads。 Get hold of the members of the department; the presidents and

secretaries of the sections; and let us make a bundle of them for the

guillotine; we will wash our hands in their blood。〃 Thereupon; on the

night of May 28 the revolutionary municipality seize the arsenal and

plant cannon on the H?tel…de…ville。 The Lyons sections; however; more

energetic than those of Paris; take; up arms and after a terrible

fight they get possession of the H?tel…de…ville。 The moral difference

between the two parties is very marked in Gonchon's letters。

(〃Archives Nationales;〃 AF; II。 43。 letters of Gonchon to Garat; May

31; June 1 and 3。) 〃Keep up the courage of the Convention。 It need not

be afraid。 The citizens of Lyons have covered themselves with glory。

They displayed the greatest courage in every fight that took place in

various quarters of the town; and the greatest magnanimity to their

enemies; who behaved most villainously。〃 The municipal body had sent a

flag of truce; pretending to negotiate; and then treacherously opened

fire with its cannon on the columns of the sections; and cast the

wounded into the river。 The citizens of Lyons; so often slandered;

will be the first to have set an example of true republican character。

Find me a similar instance; if you can; in the history of revolutions:

being victorious and yet not then to have shed a drop of blood!〃 They

cared for the wounded; and raised a subscription for the widows and

orphans of the dead; without distinction of party。 Cf。 Lauvergue;

〃Histoire du Var;〃 175。 The same occurs at Toulon (insurrection of the

moderates; July 12 and 13; 1793)。  At Toulon; as at Lyons; there was

no murder after the victory; only regular trials and the execution of

two or three assassins whose crimes were legally proved。



'122' Schmidt; I。 335。 Report of Perrière; May 29。



'123' Bergoeing; 〃Pièces; etc。〃; p。 195。 … Buchez et Roux; XXVII 296。



'124' The insurrection at Lyons took place on May 29。 On the 2nd of

June it is announced in the Convention that the insurgent army of

Lozère; more than 30;000 strong; has taken Marvejols; and is about to

take Mende (Buchez et Roux XXVII。 387)。 A threatening address from

Bordeaux (May 14) and from thirty…two sections in Marseilles (May 25)

against the Jacobins (Buchez et Roux; XXVII。 3。 214)。 … Cf。 Robinet in

〃Le procès des Dantonistes; 303; 305。



'125' Mortimer…Ternaux; VII 38。



'126' Buchez et Roux; XXVII。 297; session of the Jacobins; May 29。



'127' Barrère; 〃Mémoires;〃 II。 91; 94。 As untruthful as Barrère is;

here his testimony may be accepted。 I see no reason why he should

state what is not true; he was well informed; as he belonged to the

Committee of Public Safety。 His statements; besides; on the complicity

d the Mountain and on the r?le of Danton are confirmed by the whole

mass of facts。 … Buchez et Roux; XXVIII。 200 (speech by Danton in the

Convention; June 13)。 〃Without the canon of the 31st of May; without

the insurrection the conspirators would have triumphed; they would

have given us the law。 Let the crime of that insurrection be on our

heads! That insurrection … I myself demanded it! 。 。 。 I demand a

declaration by the Convention; that without the insurrection of May

31; liberty would be no more! 〃 Ibid。; 220。 Speech by Leclerc at the

Cordeliers club; June 27: 〃Was it not Legendre who rendered abortive

our wise measures; so often taken; to exterminate our enemies?  He and

Danton it was; who; through their culpable resistance; reduced us to

the moderation of the 31st of May; Legendre and Danton are the men who

opposed the revolutionary steps which we ha
