＇12＇ Moniteur； XI。 317 （session of Feb。 6； 1792）。 Speech by M。 Cahier；
a minister。 Many of the emigrants belong to the class formerly called
the Third…Estate。 No reason for emigrating； on their part； can be
supposed but that of religious anxieties。〃
＇13＇ Decree of Nov。 9； 1791。 The first decree seems to be aimed only
at the armed gatherings on the frontier。 We see； however； by the
debates； that it affects all emigrants。 The decrees of Feb。 9 and
March 30； 1792； bear upon all； without exception。 〃Correspondance
de Mirabeau et du Comte de la Marck；〃 III。 264 （letter by M。 Pellenc；
Nov。 12； 1791） The decree （against the emigrants） was prepared in
committee； it was expected that the emigrants would return； but there
was fear of them。 It was feared that the nobles； associated with the
unsworn priests in the rural districts； might add strength to a
troublesome resistance。 The decree； as it was passed； seemed to be the
most suitable for keeping the emigrants beyond the frontiers。〃

＇18＇ At the Jacobin Club； Legendre proposes a much a more expeditious
measure for getting rid of the priests。 〃At Brest； he says； boats are
found which are called Marie…Salopes； so constructed that； on being
loaded with dirt； they go out of the harbor themselves。 Let us have a
similar arrangement for priests； but； instead of sending them out of
the harbor； let us send them out to sea； and； if necessary； let them
go down。〃 （〃Journal de Amis de la Constitution；〃 number 194； May 15；
1792。）

＇26＇ Moniteur （session of June 22）。
＇27＇ The words of Brissot （Patriote Fran？ais）； number 887。 Letter
addressed Jan。 5 to the club of Brest； by Messrs。 Cavalier and
Malassis； deputies to the National Assembly： 〃As to the matter of the
sieur Lajaille； even though we would have taken an interest in him；
that decorated aristocrat only deserved what he got。 。 。 We shall not
remain idle until all these traitors； these perjurers； whom we have
spared so long； shall be exterminated〃 （Mercure de France； Feb。 4）。

supported by documents （Mercure de France； Dec。10 and 17）。

Letters by M。 de la Jaille； etc。 M。 de la Jaille； sent to Brest
to take command of the Dugay…Trouin； arrives there Nov。27。 While at
dinner； twenty persons enter the room； and announce to him； 〃in the
name of many others；〃 that his presence in Brest is causing trouble；
that he must leave； and that 〃he will not be allowed to take command
of a vessel。〃 He replies； that he will leave the town； as soon as he
has finished his dinner。 Another deputation follows； more numerous
than the first one； and insists on his leaving at once； and they act
as his escort。 He submits； is conducted to the city gates； and there
the escort leaves him。 A mob attacks him； and 〃his body is covered
with contusions。 He is rescued； with great difficulty； by six brave
fellows； of whom one is a pork…dealer； sent to bleed him on the spot。
〃This insurrection is due to an extra meeting of 'The Friends of the
constitution；' held the evening before in the theater； to which the
public were invited。〃 M。 de la Jaille； it must be stated； is not a
proud aristocrat； but a sensible man； in the style of Florian's and
Berquin's heroes。 But just pounded to a jelly； he writes to the
president of the 〃Friends of the Constitution；〃 that； 〃could he have
flown into the bosom of the club； he would have gladly done so； to
convey to it his grateful feelings。 He had accepted his command only
at the solicitation of the Americans in Paris； and of the six
commissioners recently arrived from St。 Domingo。〃 Mercure de
France； April 14； article by Mallet du Pan 〃I have asked in vain for
the vengeance of the law against the assassins of M。 de la Jaille。
The names of the authors of this assault in full daylight； to which
thousands can bear witness； are known to everybody in Brest。
Proceedings have been ordered and begun； but the execution of the
orders is suspended。 More potent than the law； the motionnaires；
protectors of assassins； frighten or paralyze its ministrants。〃

＇40＇ Moniteur； X。 178 （session of Oct。 20； 1791）。 Information supplied
by the deputies of the Upper and Lower Rhine departments。 M。 Koch

gathering； which took place at Ettenheim； a few leagues from
Strasbourg。 。 。 （This troop） encamped in tents； but only because it
lacked barracks and houses。〃 M。 …； deputy of the lower Rhine；
says： 〃This army at Ettenheim is composed of about five or six hundred
poorly…clad； half…paid men； deserters of all nations； sleeping in
tents； for lack of other shelter； and armed with clubs； for lack of
fire…arms and deserting every day； because money is getting scarce。
The second army； at Worms； under the command of a Condé； is composed
of three hundred gentlemen； and as many valets and grooms。 I have to
add； that the letters which reach me from Strasbourg； containing
extracts of inside information from Frankfort； Munich； Regensburg； and
Vienna； announce the most pacific intentions on the part of the
different courts； since receiving the notifi
