imer-Ternaux, VIII., 141.] [Footnote 1176: Mallet du Pan, I., 379 and following pages; I., 408; II., 10.] [Footnote 1177: Entry of the Republican troops into Lyons, October 9th, into Toulon, December 19th.--Bordeaux had submitted on the 2nd of August. Exasperated by the decree of the 6th which proscribed all the abettors of the insurrection, the city drives out, on the 19th, the representatives Baudot and Ysabeau. It submits again on the 19th of September. But so great is the indignation of the citizens, Tallien and his three colleagues dare not enter before the 16th of October. (Mortimer-Ternaux, VIII., 197 and following pages.)] [Footnote 1178: Seventy thousand men were required to reduce Lyons, (Guillon de Montleon, II., 226) and sixty thousand men to reduce Toulon.] [Footnote 1179: Archives des Affaires etrangeres, vol. CCCXXIX. (Letter of Chepy, political agent, Grenoble, July 26, 1793). "I say it unhesitatingly, I had rather reduce Lyons than save Valenciennes."] [Footnote 1180: Ibid., vol. CCCXXIX. (Letter of Chepy, Grenoble, August 24, 1793): "The Piedmontese are masters of Cluse. A large body of mountaineers have joined them.

(Report of Billaud-Varennes, October 18, 1793). "The combined efforts of all the powers of Europe have not compromised liberty and the country so much as the federalist factions; the assassin the most to be dreaded is the one that lives in the house."] [Footnote 1182: The convention purposely reinstates incendiaries and assassins. (Moniteur, XVIII., 483. Session of Breumaire 28, year II.): XVII., 176. (Session of July 19, 1793). Rehabilitation of Bordier and Jourdain, hung in August, 1789. Cancelling of the proceedings begun against the authors of the massacre of Melun (September, 1792) and release of the accused.--Cf. Albert Babeau, (I., 277.) Rehabilitation, with indemnities distributed in Messidor, year II, to their relatives.--"Archives des Affaires etrangeres," vol. 331. (Letter of Chepy, Grenoble, Frimaire 8, year II). "The criminal court and jury of the department have just risen to the height of the situation; they have acquitted the castle-burners."] [Footnote 1183: Mortimer-Ternaux, VIII., 593. (Deput
