his lungs and his time in trying to be president; vice…president;

secretary or vice…secretary〃



'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。



'19' C。 Desmoulins; letters of September 20th and of subsequent

dates。  (He quote; a passage from Lucan in the sense indicated)。  

Brissot; 〃Mémoires;〃 passim。  Biography of Danton by Robinet。 (See

'20' 〃Discours de la Lanterne。〃 See the epigraph of the engraving。



'21' Buchez and Roux; III。  55; article of Marat; October lst。

〃Sweep all the suspected men out of the H?tel…de…Ville。  。  。  。  。

Reduce the deputies of the communes to fifty; do not let them remain

in office more than a month or six weeks; and compel them to

transact business only in public。〃   And II。  412; another article

by Marat。   Ibid。  III。  21。  An article by Loustalot。  …  C。

'24' Mercure de France; October 2; 1790 (article of Mallet du Pan:

〃I saw it〃)。  Criminal proceedings at the Chatelet on the events of

October 5th and 6th。  Deposition of M。 Feydel; a deputy; No。  178。 …

… 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。〃



'26' Buchez and Roux; I。 368; 376。    Bailly; II。  326; 341。  …

Mounier; ibid。; 62; 75。

Mirabeau and Comte de la Marck。



'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。
