of the people of Paris, wearied and worn out "to excess." "They will
take no side, either for or against the king... They no longer stir for
any purpose; riots are wholly factitious. This is so right that they are
obliged to bring men from the South to get them up. Nearly all of those
who forced the gates of the Tuileries, or rather, who got inside of them
on the 20th of June, were outsiders or onlookers, got together at the
sight of such a lot of pikes and red caps, etc. The cowards ran at the
slightest indication of presenting arms, which was done by a portion
of the national guard on the arrival of a deputation from the National
Assembly, their leaders being obliged to encourage them by telling them
that they were not to be fired at."]

[Footnote 2638: Mortimer-Ternaux, II. 378.-127 Jacobins of Arras, led by
Geoffroy and young Robespierre, declare to the Directory that they mean
to come to its meetings and follow its deliberations. "It is time that
the master should keep his eye on his agents." The Directory, therefore,

galleries.]

Theatre Francais (of which Danton is president and Chaumette and Momoro
secretaries) thus interpret the declaration of the country being in
danger. "After a declaration of the country being in danger by the
representatives of the people, it is natural that the people itself
should take back its sovereign supervision."]

Gorguereau, reporter of the committee on legislation, had already stated
that "The authors of these multiplied addresses seem to command rather
