The following excerpt from _A Residence in France_, 1792-95, described in a series of letters from an _English Lady_, i, 93: “If the electors and elected of the other departments be of the same complexion with those of Arras, the new Assembly will not, in any respect, be preferable to the old one. I have reproached many of the people of this place, who, from their education and property, have a right to take an interest in the public affairs, with thus suffering themselves to be represented by the most desperate and worthless individuals of the town. Their defense is that they are insulted and overpowered if they attend the popular meetings, and by electing _les gueux et les scélérats pour députés_, they send them to Paris and secure their own local tranquillity.” [153] The twenty four deputies from the city were Robespierre, Danton, Collot-d’Herbois, Manuel, Billaud-Varenne, Camille Desmoulins, Marat, Lavicomterie, Legendre the butcher, Raffron du Trouillet, Paris, Sergent, Robert, Dusaulx, Frèron, Beauvis de Preau, Fabre d’Eglantine the dramatist, Osselin, Augustine Robespierre, David the great painter, Boucher, Laignelot, Thomas, the _ci-devant_ Duke of Orléans, now democratically named Philippe Égalité.

We cite from the _Rév. de Paris_, No. 167, 534: “Cette proclamation, parvenue dans les 48 sections de Paris, fut répétée dans tous les carrefours au bruit des cors et au milieu des applaudissements universelles. Tous les citoyens à l’envi illuminèrent le devant de leurs maisons, comme à l’occasion d’un grande victoire remportée sur le plus puissant de nos ennemis.” [155] _Hist.
