the Memoirs〃 of Barbaroux; 40; 41)。 Blanc…Gilly must have been
acquainted with these characters; inasmuch as he made use of them in
the August riot; 1789; and for which he was indicted。 … Cf。 Fabre
〃Histoire de Marseilles;〃 II。 422。
'4' 〃Archives Nationales;〃 F7; 3197。 Correspondence of Messrs。

'6' 〃Archives Nationales;〃 F7; 3197。 Letters of three commissioners;
April 13; 17; 18; and May 10; 1791。

'9' 〃Archives Nationales;〃 letter of the municipal officers of
Marseilles to the minister; June 11; 1791。 They demand the recall
of the three commissioners; one of their arguments being as follows:
〃In China; every mandarin against whom public opinion is excited is
dismissed from his place; he is regarded as an ignorant instructor;
who is incapable of gaining the love of children for their parent。〃
'10' 〃Archives Nationales;〃 letter of the commissioners; May 25; 1791。
〃It is evident; on recording the proceedings at Aix and Marseilles;
that only the accusers and the judges were guilty。〃 Petition of the
prisoners; Feb。 1。 〃The municipality; in despair of our innocence and
not knowing how to justify its conduct; is trying to buy up witnesses。
They say openly that it is better to sacrifice one innocent man than
disgrace a whole body。 Such ale the speeches of the sieur Rebecqui;
leading man; and of Madame Elliou; wife of a municipal officer; in the
house of the sieur Rousset。〃
'11' Letter of M。 Lieutaud to the commissioners; May 11 and 18; 1791。
〃If I have not fallen under the assassin's dagger I owe my
preservation to your strict orders and to the good behavior of the
national guard and the regular troops 。 。 。 At the hearing of the case
today; the prosecutor on the part of the commune ventured to threaten
the court with popular opinion and its avenging fury。 。 。 The people;
stirred up against us; and brought there; shouted; 'Let us seize
Lieutaud and take him there by force and if he will not go up the
steps; we will cut his head off!' The hall leading to the courtroom
and the stairways were filled with barefooted vagabonds。〃 Letter of
Cabrol; commander of the national guard; and of the municipal officers
to the commissioners; May 21。 That picket…guard of fifty men on the
great square; is it not rather the cause of a riot than the means of
preventing one? A requisition to send four national guards inside the
prison; to remain there day and night; is it not insulting citizen
soldiers; whose function it is to see that the laws are maintained;
and not to do jail duty?〃

municipality of Marseilles to the Directory; Jan。 4; and the
Directory's reply。 … Barbaroux; 〃Mémoires;〃 19。 Here we see the

vigor; and the usual indecision of the superior authorities;
especially the military authorities … Mercure de France; March 24;
1792 (letters from Aix)。
'18' 〃Archives Nationales;〃 F7; 3196。 Dispatches of the new Directory
to the Minister; March 24 and April 4; 1792。 〃Since the departure of
the Directory; our administrative assembly is composed of only six
members; notwithstanding our repeated summons to every member of the
Council。 。 。 Only three members of the Council consent to act with us;
the reason is a lack of pecuniary means。〃 The new Directory;
consequently; passes a resolution to indemnify members of the Council。
This; indeed; is contrary to a royal proclamation of Jan。 15; but
〃this proclamation was wrested from the King; on account of his firm
faith。 You must be aware that; in a free nation; the influence of a
citizen on his government must not be estimated by his fortune; such a
principle is false; and destructive of equality of rights。 We trust
that the King will consent to revoke his proclamation。〃

Minister; April 10; 17; and 30; 1792。 Letter from another

the department Council to the Minister; March 10; 〃The Council of the
administration is surprised; sir; at the fa1se impressions given you
of the city of Marseilles; it should be regarded as the patriotic
buckler of the department 。 。 。 If the people of Paris did not wait
for orders to destroy the Bastille and begin the Revolution; can you
wonder that in this fiery climate the impatience of good citizens
should make them anticipate legal orders; and that they cannot comply
with the slow forms of justice when their personal safety and the
safety of the country is in peril?〃

commissioners; passim; and especially those of May 11; June 10 and 19;
1791 (on affairs in Arles)。 〃The property…owners were a long time
subject to oppression。 A few of the factions maintained a reign of
terror over honest folks; who trembled in secret。〃
22 Ibid。; Dispatch of the commissioners; June 19: 〃One of the Mint
gang causes notes to be publicly distributed (addressed to the
unsworn) in these words: 'If you don't 〃piss…off〃 you will have to

'26' Ibid。; Dispatch of the commandant of the Marseilles detachment to
the Directory of the department; Sept。 22; 1791: 〃I feel that our

Dispatch of Ripert; royal commissioner; Oct。 2 and 8。 Letter of M。

believe in the counter…orders with which we are threatened。 Such a
decision in the present crisis would be too inhuman and dangerous。 Our
co…workers; who have had the courage to devote themselves to the new
law; would be deprived of their bread and shelter。 。 。 The king's
proclamation has all the appearance of having been hastily prepared。
and every sign of having been secured unawares。〃
