'18' Eugène Hatin; 〃Histoire de la Presse;〃 vol。 V。 p。 113。 〃Le
Patriote fran?ais〃 by Brissot; July 28; 1789。 〃L'Ami du Peuple;〃
by Marat; September 12; 1789。 〃Annales patriotiques et
littéraires;〃 by Carra and Mercier; October 5; 1789; 〃Les
Révolutions de Paris;〃 chief editor Loustalot; July 17th; 1789。 …
〃Le Tribun du peuple;〃 letters by (middle of 1789)。 … 〃Révolutions
de France et de Brabant;〃 by C。 Desmoulins; November 28; 1789; his
〃France libre〃 (I believe of the month of August; and his 〃Discours
de la Lanterne〃 of the month of September)。 … 〃The Moniteur〃 does
not make its appearance until November 24; 1789。 In the seventy
numbers which follow; up to February 3; 1790; the debates of the
Assembly were afterwards written out; amplified; and put in a
dramatic form。 All numbers anterior to February 3; 1790; are the
result of a compilation executed in the year IV。 The narrative part
during the first six months of the Revolution is of no value。 The
report of the sittings of the Assembly is more exact; but should be
revised sitting by sitting and discourse by discourse for a detailed
history of the National Assembly。 The principal authorities which
are really contemporary are; 〃Le Mercure de France;〃 〃Le Journal de
Paris;〃 〃Le point de Jour〃 by Barrère; the 〃Courrier de Versailles;〃
by Gorsas; the 〃Courrier de Provence〃 by Mirabeau; the 〃Journal des
Débats et Décrets;〃 the official reports of the National assembly;
the 〃Bulletin de l'Asemblée Nationale;〃 by Marat; besides the
newspapers above cited for the period following the 14th of July;
and the speeches; which are printed separately。

… De Montlosier; i。 259。 Desmoulins (La Lanterne)。 〃Some members
of the communes are gradually won over by pensions; by plans for
making a fortune and by flattery。 Happily; the incorruptible
galleries are always on the side of the patriots。 They represent
the tribunes of the people seated on a bench in attendance on the
deliberations of the Senate and who had the veto。 They represent
the metropolis and; fortunately; it is under the batteries of the
metropolis that the constitution is being framed。〃 (C。 Desmoulins;
simple…minded politician; always let the cat out of the bag。)
'25' 〃Procédure du Chatelet;〃 Ibid。 Deposition of M。 Malouet (No。
111)。 〃I received every day; as well as MM。 Lally and Mounier;
anonymous letters and lists of proscriptions on which we were
inscribed。 These letters announced a prompt and violent death to
every deputy that advocated the authority of the King。〃

'28' 〃Procédure criminelle du Chatelet;〃 Deposition 148。 … Buchez
and Roux; III。 67; 65。 (Narrative of Desmoulins; article of
Loustalot。) Mercure de France; number for September 5; 1789。
〃Sunday evening; August 30; at the Palais…Royal; the expulsion of
several deputies of every class was demanded; and especially some of
those from Dauphiny。 。 。 They spoke of bringing the King to Paris as
well as the Dauphin。 All virtuous citizens; every incorruptible
patriot; was exhorted to set out immediately for Versailles。〃
'29' These acts of violence were not reprisals; nothing of the kind
took place at the banquet of the body…guards (October 1st)。 〃Amidst
the general joy;〃 says an eye…witness; I heard no insults against
the National Assembly; nor against the popular party; nor against
anybody。 The only cries were 'Vive le Roi! Vive la Reine! We will
defend them to the death!'〃 (Madame de Larochejacquelein; p。40。 …
Ibid。 Madame Campan; another eye…witness。) It appears to be
certain; however; that the younger members of the National Guard at
Versailles turned their cockades so as to be like other people; and
it is also probable that some of the ladies distributed white
cockades。 The rest is a story made up before and after the event to
justify the insurrection。 Cf。 Lerol; 〃Histoire de Versailles;〃
II。 20…107。 Ibid。 p。 141。 〃As to that proscription of the
national cockade; all witnesses deny it。〃 The originator of the
calumny is Gorsas; editor of the Courrier de Versailles。
