instance, that of Feb. 7.] [Footnote 2330: April 9, at the Jacobin Club, Vergniaud, the president, welcomes and compliments the convicts of Chateau-vieux.] [Footnote 2331: Mortimer-Ternaux, book I, vol. I. (especially the session of April 15).] [Footnote 2332: Comtat (or comtat Venaisssin) ancient region in France under papal authority from 1274 to 1791.(SR)] [Footnote 2333: Moniteur, XII. 335.--Decree of March 20 (the triumphal entry of Jourdan and his associates belongs to the next month).] [Footnote 2334: Moniteur, XII. 730 (session of June 23).] [Footnote 2335: Moniteur, XII. 230 (session of April 12).] [Footnote 2336: Moniteur. XI. 6, (session of March 6).] [Footnote 2337: Moniteur, XI. 123, (session of Jan. 14)] [Footnote 2338: 150 years later these rights were written into the International Declaration of Human Rights in Paris in 1948. (SR).] [Footnote 2339: Mercure de France, Dec. 23 (session of Dec. 23), p.98.] [Footnote 2340: Moniteur, X. 178 (session of Oct. 20, 1791). Information supplied by the deputies of the Upper and Lower Rhine departments.--M. Koch says: "An army of emigres never existed, unless it be a petty gathering, which took place at Ettenheim, a few leagues from Strasbourg... (This troop) encamped in tents, but only because it lacked barracks and houses."--M.--, deputy of the lower Rhine, says: "This army at Ettenheim is composed of about five or six hundred poorly-clad, half-paid men, deserters of all nations, sleeping in tents, for lack of other shelter, and armed with clubs, for lack of fire-arms and deserting every day, because money is getting scarce. The second army, at Worms, under the command of a Conde, is composed of three hundred gentlemen, and as many valets and grooms. I have to add, that the letters which reach me from Strasbourg, containing extracts of inside information from Frankfort, Munich, Regensburg, and Vienna, announce the most pacific intentions on the part of the different courts, since receiving the notification of the king's submission." The number of armed emigrants increases, but always remain very small (Moniteur, X. 678, letter of M. Delatouche, an eyewitness, Dec. 10). "I suppose that the number of emigrants scattered around on the territories of the grand-duke of Baden, the bishop of Spires, the electorates, etc., amounts to scarcely 4,000 men."] [Footnote 2341: Moniteur, X. 418 (session of Nov. 15, 1791). Report by the minister Delessart
