of the Cantal directory; Oct。 24。 On the 16th of October at

Chaudesaigues the volunteers break open a door and then kill one of

their comrades who opposes them; whom the commissary tries to save。

The mayor of the place; in uniform; leads them to the dwellings of

aristocrats; urging them on to pillage; they enter a number of houses

by force and exact wine。 The next day at Saint…Urcize they break into

the house of the former curé; devastate or pillage it; and 〃sell his

furniture to different persons in the neighborhood。〃 The same

treatment is awarded to sieur Vaissier; mayor; and to lady Lavalette;

their cellars are forced open; barrels of wine are taken to the public

square; and drinking takes place from the tap。 After this 〃the

volunteers go in squads into the neighboring parishes and compel the

inhabitants to give them money or effects。〃 The commissary and

municipal officers of St。 Urcize who tried to mediate were nearly

killed and were saved only through the efforts of a detachment of

regular cavalry。 As to the Jacobin mayor of Chaudesaigues; it was

natural that he should preach pillage; on the sale of the effects of

the nuns 〃he kept all bidders away; and had things knocked down to him

for almost nothing。〃

〃He is a good fellow;〃 exclaims Pasquier's bandy…legged guardian: 〃we

have just made hint marry。 Look here; we said to him; it is time that

to put a stop to that behavior! Down with prejudice! Marquises and

dancers ought to marry each other。 He made her his wife; and it is

caged behind the Luxembourg walls。〃 … Elsewhere; on passing a chateau

being demolished; the former chair…letter quotes Rousseau: 〃For every

chateau that falls; twenty cottages rise in its place。〃 His mind was

cannot conceal from you the pain it gives me to find in it principles

so destructive of all the ties of subordination existing between

constituted authorities; principles so erroneous that should the

communes adopt them every form of government would be impossible and

all society broken up。 Can the commune of Saint…Firmin;  indeed; have

persuaded itself that it is sovereign; as the letter states? and have

the citizens composing it forgotten that the sovereign is the entire

nation; and not the forty…four thousandth part of it? that Saint…

Firmin is simply a fraction of it; contributing its share to endowing
