book by de Sade) makes her appearance in the Palais-Royal about the
middle of 1791. They exhibit two pretended savages there, who, before

338. Report by Petion, mayor, Dec. 9, 1791. "Every branch of the police
is in a state of complete neglect. The streets are dirty, and full
of rubbish; robbery, and crimes of every kind, are increasing to a
frightful degree." "Correspondance de M. de Stael" (manuscript), Jan.
22, 1792. "As the police is almost worthless, freedom from punishment,
added to poverty, brings on disorder."]

[Footnote 2313: 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

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
