the municipal council of Marseilles, of the federates, of the Angers
petitioners, of the Charente volunteers, etc. "A hereditary monarchy is
opposed to the Rights of Man. Pass the act of dethronement and France
is saved... Be brave, let the sword of the law fall on a perjured
functionary and conspirator! Lafayette is the most contemptible, the
guiltiest,... the most infamous of the assassins of the people," etc.]

applaud. The Assembly murmurs."--208 (July 21). "Murmuring, shouts, and
cries of Down with the speaker! from the galleries. The president calls
the house to order five times, but always fruitlessly."--224 (July

Assembly."]
[Footnote 2625: Buzot, "Mémoires" (Ed. Dauban, 83 and 84). "The majority
of the French people yearned for royalty and the constitution of 1790...
It was at Paris particularly that this desire governed the general plan,
the discussion of it being the least feared in special conversations
and in private society. There were only a few noble-minded, superior
men that were worthy of being republicans... The rest desired the
constitution of 1791, and spoke of the republicans only as one speaks of
very honest maniacs."]

According to the report of the Minister of War, read the 30th of July,
at the evening session, 5,314 department federates left Paris between
July 14 and 30. Pétion wrote that the levy of federates then in Paris
amounted to 2,960, "of which 2,032 were getting ready to go to the camp
at Soissons."--A comparison of these figures leads to the approximate
number that I have adopted]
