from
the city on account of a judgment against him for robbery. The other
individuals employed by Tallien comprised a lot of valets, bankrupts and
sharpers."]

[Footnote 1191: Mallet-Dupan, II., 17. "Thousands of traders in
Marseilles and Bordeaux, here the respectable Gradis and there the
Tarteron, have been assassinated and their goods sold. I have seen the
thirty-second list only of the Marseilles emigres, whose property has
been confiscated.... There are twelve thousand of them and the lists are
not yet complete." (Feb. 1, 1794.)--Anne Plumptre.2A Narrative of Three
years' Residence in France, from 1802 to 1805." "During this period the
streets of Marseilles were almost those of a deserted town. One could go
from one end of the town to the other without meeting any one he could
call an inhabitant. The great terrorists, of whom scarcely one was a
Marseillaise, the soldiers and roughs as they called themselves, were
almost the only persons encountered. The latter, to the number of fifty
or sixty, in jackets with leather straps, fell upon all whom they did
not like, and especially on anybody with a clean shirt and white cravat.
Many persons on the "Cours" were thus whipped to death. No women went
out-doors without a basket, while every man wore a jacket, without which
they were taken for aristocrats." (II., 94.)]
