of dismissal was not passed until the 12th of August; but after the

31St of July the municipality demanded it and during the following

days several Jacobin grenadiers go to the National Assembly; trample

on their bearskin hats and put on the red cap of liberty。



'29' Mortimer…Ternaux; II。 192 (municipal action of Aug。 5)。



'30' Decree of July 2。



'31' Mortimer…Ternaux; II。 129。  Buchez et Roux; XV。 458。 According

to the report of the Minister of War; read the 30th of July; at the

evening session; 5;314 department federates left Paris between July 14

and 30。 Pétion wrote that the levy of federates then in Paris amounted

to 2;960; 〃of which 2;032 were getting ready to go to the camp at

Soissons。〃  A comparison of these figures leads to the approximate

number that I have adopted



'32' Buchez et Roux; XVI。 120; 133 (session of the Jacobins; Aug。 6)。

The federates 〃resolved to watch the Chateau; each taking a place in

the battalions respectively of the sections in which they lodge; and

many incorporated themselves with the battalions of the faubourg St

Antoine。〃

332。



'34' Barbaroux; 〃Mémoires;〃 37…40。  Lauront…Lautard; 〃Marseilles

depuis 1789 jusqu'à 1815;〃 I。 134。 〃The mayor; Mourdeille;〃 who had

recruited them; 〃was perhaps very glad to get rid of them。〃  On the

composition of this group and on the previous r?le of Rebecqui; see

chapter VI。



'35' Buchez et Roux; XVI。 197 and following pages。  Mortimer…

Ternaux; II。 148 (the grenadiers numbered only 166)。  Moniteur;

XIII。 310 (session of Aug。 1)。 Address of the grenadiers:  〃They swore

on their honor that they did not draw their swords until after being

threatened for a quarter of an hour; then insulted and humiliated;

until forced to defend their lives against a troop of brigands armed

with pistols; and some of them with carbines。〃  〃 The reading of

this memorandum is often interrupted by hooting from the galleries; in

spite of the president's orders。〃  Hooting again; when they file out

of the chamber。



'36' The lack of men of action greatly embarrassed the Jacobin party。

(〃Correspondance de Mirabeau et du Comte de la Marck;2 II。 326。)

Letter of M。 de Montmorin; July 13; 1792。 On the disposition of the

people of Paris; wearied and worn out 〃to excess。〃  〃They will take no

side; either for or against the king。 。 。 They no longer stir for any

purpose; riots are wholly factitious。 This is so right that they are

obliged to bring men from the South to get them up。 Nearly all of

those who forced the gates of the Tuileries; or rather; who got inside

of them on the 20th of June; were outsiders or onlookers; got together

at the sight of such a lot of pikes and red caps; etc。 The cowards ran

at the slightest indication of presenting arms; which was done by a

portion of the national guard on the arrival of a deputation from the

National Assembly; their leaders being obliged to encourage them by

telling them that they were not to be fired at。〃



'37' Buchez et Roux; XVI。 447。 〃Chronique des cinquante jours;〃 by

R?derer。



'38' Mortimer…Ternaux; II。 378。…127  Jacobins of Arras; led by

Geoffroy and young Robespierre; declare to the Directory that they

mean to come to its meetings and follow its deliberations。 〃It is time

that the master should keep his eye on his agents。〃 The Directory;

therefore; resigns (July 4; 1792)。 … Ibid。; 462 (report of Leroux;

municipal officer)。 The Paris municipal council; on the night of

August 9…10 deliberates under threats of death and the furious shouts

of the galleries。



'39' Duvergier's 〃Collection of Laws and Decrees;〃 July 4; 5…8; 11…12;

25…28。  Buchez et Roux; XVI。 250。 The section of the Theatre

Fran?ais (of which Danton is president and Chaumette and Momoro

secretaries) thus interpret the declaration of the country being in

danger。 〃After a declaration of the country being in danger by the

representatives of the people; it is natural that the people itself

should take back its sovereign supervision。〃



'40'  Schmidt; 〃Tableaux de la Révolution;〃 I。 99…100。 Report to

Roland; Oct。 29; 1792。



'41'  Mortimer…Ternaux; II。 199。 … Buchez et Roux; XVI。 320。 …

Moniteur; XIII。 336 (session of Aug。 5)。 Speech by Collot d'Herbois。



'42' Moniteur; XI。 20; session of Feb。 4。 At this meeting Gorguereau;

reporter of the committee on legislation; had already stated that 〃The

authors of these multiplied addresses seem to command rather than

demand。 。 。 It is ever the same sections or the same individuals who

deceive you in bringing to you their own false testimony for that of

the capital。〃 … 〃Down with the reporter!  From the galleries。〃 …

Ibid。;  XIII。 93; session of July 11。 M。 Gastelier: 〃Addresses in the

name of the people are constantly read to you; which are not even the

voice of one section。 We have seen the same individual coming three

times a week to demand something in the name of sovereignty。〃 (Shouts

of down! down! in the galleries。 Ibid。; 208; session of July 21。 M。

Dumolard: 〃You must distinguish between the people of Paris and these

subaltern intriguers 。 。 。 these habitual oracles of the cafés and

public squares; whose equivocal existence has for a long time occupied

the attention and claimed the supervision of the police。〃 (Down with

the speaker! murmurs and hooting in the galleries)。…Mortimer…Ternaux;

II。 398。 Protests of the arsenal section; read by Lavoisier (the

chemist):  〃The caprice of a knot of citizens (thus) becomes the

desire of an immense population。〃



'43' Buchez et Roux; XVI。 251。 … Mortimer…Ternaux; II。 239 and 243。

The central bureau is first opened in 〃the building of the Saint…

Esprit; in the second story; near the passage communicating with the

common dwelling。〃 Afterwards the commissioners of the section occupy

another room in the H?tel…de…ville; nearly joining the throne…room;

where the municipal council is holding its sessions。 During the night

of August 9…10 both councils sit four hours simultaneously within a

few steps of each other。



'44' Robespierre; 〃Seventh letter to his constituents;〃 says: 〃The

sections。 。 。 have been busy for more than a fortnight getting ready

for the last Revolution。〃



'45' Robespierre; 〃Seventh letter to his constituents〃  Malouet; II。

233;  234。  R?derer; 〃Chronique des cinquante jours。〃



'46' Moniteur; XIII。 318; 319。 The petition is drawn up apparently by

people who are beside themselves。 〃If we did not rely on you; I would

not answer for the excesses to which our despair would carry us! We

would bring on ourselves all the horrors of civil war; provided we

could; on dying; drag along with us some of our cowardly assassins!〃 …

… The representatives; it must be noted; talk in the same vein。 La

Source exclaims: 〃The members here; like yourselves; call for

vengeance!〃 … Thuriot: 〃The crime is atrocious!〃



'47'  Taine is describing a basic trait of human nature; something we

see again and again whether our ancestors attacked small; harmless

neighboring nations;  witches; renegades; Jews; or religious people of

another faith 。(SR)。



'48' Buchez et Roux; XIX 93; session of Sept。 23; 1792。 Speech by

Panis: 〃Many worthy citizens would like to have judicial proof; but

political proofs satisfy us〃  Towards the end of July the Minister

of the Interior had invited Pétion to send two municipal officers to

examine the Tuileries; but this the council refused to do; so as to

keep up the excitement。



'49' Mallet du Pan; 〃Mémoires;〃 303。 Letter of Malouet; June 29。 

Bertrand de Molleville; 〃Mémoires;〃 II。 301。  Hua; 148。  Weber;

II。 208。  Madame Campan; 〃Mémoires;〃 II。 188。 Already; at the end of

1791; the king was told that he was liable to be poisoned by the

pastry…cook of the palace; a Jacobin。 For three or four months the

bread and pastry he ate were secretly purchased in other places。 On

the 14th of July; 1792; his attendants; on account of the threats

against his life; put a breastplate on him under his coat。



'50' member of the 1789 Constituent Assembly。 (SR)。



'51' Moniteur; VIII。 271; 278。 A deputy; excusing his assailants;

pretends that d'ésprémesnil urged the people to enter the Tuileries

garden。 It is scarcely necessary to state that during the Constituent

Assembly d'Espréménil was one of the most conspicuous members of the

extreme 〃Right。〃 … Duc de Ga?te; 〃Mémoires;〃 I。 18。



'52' Lafayette; 〃Mémoires;〃 I。 465。



'53' Moniteur; XIII。 327;  Mortimer…Ternaux; II。 176。



'54' Moniteur; XIII。 340。  The style of these petitions is highly

instructive。 We see in them the state of mind and degree of education

of the petitioners: sometimes a half…educated writer attempting to

reason in the vein of the Contrat Social; sometimes; a schoolboy

spouting the tirades of Raynal; and sometimes; the corner letter…

writer putting together the expressions forming his stock in trade。



'55' Carra; 〃Précis historique sur l'origine et les véritables auteurs

de l'insurrection du 10 Ao?t。〃  Barbaroux; 〃Mémoires; 49。 The

executive directory; appointed by the central committee of the

confederates; held its first meeting in a wine…shop; the Soleil d'or;

on the square of the Bastille; the second at the Cadran bleu; on the

boulevard; the third in Antoine's room; who then lodged in the same

house with Robespierre。 Camille Desmoulins was present at this latter

meeting。 Santerre; Westermann; Fournier the American; and Lazowski

were the principal members of this Directory。 Another insurrectionary

plan was drawn up on the 30th of July in a wine…shop at Charenton by

Barbaroux; Rebecqui; Pierre Bayle; Heron; and Fournier the American。 …

Cf。 J。 Claretie; 〃Camille Desmoulins;〃 p。 192。  Desmoulins wrote; a

little before the 10th of August: 〃If the National Assembly thinks

that it cannot save the country; let it declare then; that; according
