mew are all that are talked of. "--Meillan, 55. "Let
anybody in any assemblage or club express any opinion not in unison
with municipal views, and he is sure to be arrested the following night.
"--Gouverneur Morris, March 29, 1793. "Yesterday I was arrested in the
street and conducted to the section of Butte-des-Moulins... Armed men
came to my house yesterday. "--Reply of the minister Lebrun, April 3.
"Domiciliary visits were a general measure from which no house in Paris
was exempt."]

[Footnote 3490: 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 Rhone, June 4, 1793. The revolutionary committee "designated for La
Vendee 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 Montleon, I. 235.]

[Footnote 3491: Buchez et Roux, XXVI. 399. Ordinance of the commune, May
3, on a forced loan of twelve millions, article 6. "The revolutionary
committees will regard the apportionment 'lists simply as guides,
without regarding them as a basis of action."--Article 14. "The personal
and real property of those who have not conformed to the patriotic draft
will be seized and sold at the suit of the revolutionary committees, and
their persons declared suspected."]

[Footnote 3492: Buchez et Roux, XXVII. 17 (Patriote Francais, number for
May 14). Francoeur is taxed at 3,600 francs.--The same process at Lyons
(Balleydier, 174, and Guillon de Montleon, 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.]
