Among other examples, this letter from the administrators of Tarn, June 18, 1792, may be read ("Archives Nationales," F7, 3271). "Numerous bands overran both the city (Castres) and the country. They forcibly entered the houses of the citizens, broke the furniture to pieces, and pillaged everything that fell into their hands. Girls and women underwent shameful treatment. Commissioners sent by the district and the municipality to advocate peace were insulted and menaced. The pillage was renewed; the home of the citizen was violated." The administrators add: "In many places the progress made by the constitution was indicated by the speedy and numerous emigrations of its enemies."] [Footnote 3209: "Archives Nationales," F7, 3272. Letter of the administrators of the Var, May 27, 1792.--Letter of the minister, Duranthon, May 28.--Letter of the commission composing the directory Oct. 31.] [Footnote 3210: "Archives Nationales," Letter of the administrators of Var, May. 27.--The saying is the summary of the revolutionary spirit; it recurs constantly.--Cf. the Duc de Montpensier, "Mémoires," p. 11. At Aix one of his guards said to the sans-culotte who were breaking into the room where he had been placed: "Citizens, by what order do you enter here? and why have you forced the guard at the door?"

Don't you know that the people is sovereign?"] [Footnote 3211: "Archives Nationales," letter of the public prosecutor, May 23.--Letters of the administrators of the department, May 22, and 27 (on the events of the 13th of May at Beausset).]
