May 8）。 〃Arrests are nultiplied lately to a frightful extent。 The

＇90＇ Schmidt； I。301。 〃In our sections the best class of citizens are
still afraid of imprisonment or of being disarmed。 Nobody talks
freely。〃 The Lyons revolutionaries make the same calculation
（〃Archives Nationales；〃 AF； II。 43）。 Letter addressed to the
representatives of the people by the administrators of the department
of the Rh？ne； June 4； 1793。 The revolutionary committee 〃designated
for La Vendée those citizens who were most comfortably off or those it
hated； whilst conditional enlistment with the privilege of remaining
in the department were granted only to those in favor of
disorganization。〃 Cf。 Guillon de Montléon； I。 235。

patriotic draft will be seized and sold at the suit of the
revolutionary committees； and their persons declared suspected。〃
＇92＇ Buchez et Roux； XXVII。 17 （Patriote Fran？ais； number for May 14）。
Franc？ur is taxed at 3；600 francs。 The same process at Lyons
（Balleydier； 174； and Guillon de Montléon； I。 238）。 The authorized tax
by the commissaries of the convention amounted to six millions。 The
revolutionary committee levied thirty and forty millions； payable in
twenty…four hours on warrants without delay （May 13 and 14）。 Many
persons are taxed from 80；000 to 100；000 francs； the text of the
requisitions conveying ironically a hostile spirit。

Petition of the Faubourg Saint…Antoine； May 11。 Schmidt； I。 315
（Report by Dutard； May 13）。 〃There is no recruiting in the faubourgs；
because people there know that they are more wanted here than in La
Vendée。 They let the rich go and fight。 They watch things here； and
trust nobody but themselves to guard Paris。〃

two natural enemies stand in battle array； only awaiting the signal or
the opportunity。〃
