[60] Mortimer-Ternaux， VIII.， 471. Letter of Barbaroux， Caen， June 18. - Ibid.， 133. Letter of Madame Roland to Buzot， July 7. "You are not the one to march at the head of battalions (departmental). It would have the appearance of gratifying personal vengeance."[61] Buchez et Roux， XXVIII.， 153. (Deliberations of the constituted authorities of Marseilles， June 7.)[62] Guillon de Montléon， II.， 40. The contrast between the two parties is well shown in the following extract from the letter of a citizen of Lyons to Kellerman's soldiers. "They tell you that we want to destroy the unity of the republic， while they themselves abandon the frontiers to the enemy in order to come here and cut their brethren's throats."[63] Guillon de Montléon， I.， 288. - Marcelin Boudet， "Les Conventionnels d'Auvergne，" p. 181. - Louvet， 193. - Moniteur， XVII.， 101. (Speech of Cambon， July 11). "We have preferred to expose these funds (one hundred and five millions destined for the army) to being intercepted， rather than to retard this dispatch. The first thing the Committee of Public Safety have had to care for was to save the republic and make the administrations fully responsible for it. They were fully aware of this， and accordingly have allowed the circulation of these funds . . . They have been forced， through the wise management of the Committee， to contribute themselves to the safety of the republic."[64] Archives Nationales， Letter of Robert Lindet， June 16， AF. II.， 43. The correspondence of Lindet， which is very interesting， well shows the sentiments of the Lyonnese and the policy of the "Mountain.""However agitated Lyons may be， order prevails； nobody wants either king or tyrant； all use the same language： the words republic， union， are in everybody's mouth." (Eight letters.) He always gives the same advice to the Committee of Public Safety： "Publish a constitution， publish the motives of the bills of arrest，" which are indispensable to rally everybody to the Convention， (June 15).

- Archives Nationales AF. II.， 46. Extract from the registers of the Council of the department of Loire-Inferieure， July 14. The department protests that its decree of July 5 was not "a rupture with the Convention， an open rebellion against the laws of the State， an idea very remote from the sentiments and intentions of the citizens present." Now， "the plan of a Constitution is offered to the acceptance of the sovereign. This fortunate circumstance should bring people to one mind， and， with hope thus renewed， let us at once seize on the means of salvation thus presented to us." - Moniteur， XVII.， 102.

(On the disposition and sentiments of the provinces and of the public in general， the reader will find ample and authentic details in the narratives of the fugitives who scattered themselves in all directions， and especially those of Louvet， Meillan， Dulaure， and Vaublanc.) Cf. the "Mémoires de Hua" and "Un Séjour en France in 1792and 1795." - Mallet-du-Pan already states this disposition before 1789(MS. Journal). "June， 1785： The French live simply in a crowd； they must all cling together. On the promenades they huddle together and jostle each other in one alley； the same when there is more space.""Aug.， 1787， (after the first riots)： I have remarked in general more curiosity than excitement in the multitude. . . . One can judge， at this moment， the national character； a good deal of bravado and nonsense； neither reason， rule nor method； rebellious in crowds， and not a soul that does not tremble in the presence of a corporal."[68] Meillan， 143. - Mortimer-Ternaux， VIII.， 203.

"W desire the Republic， one and indivisible； there is no sign of rebellion with us. . .
Representatives Barras and Fréron lie shamefully in depicting us as anti-revolutionaries， on good terms with the English and the families of Vendée." - The Toulon administrators continue furnishing the Italian army with supplies. July 19， an English boat， sent to parley， had to lower the white flag and hoist the tri-color flag. The entry of the English into Toulon did not take place before the 29th of August.
[72] Guillon de Montléon， II.， 67. (Letter of the Lyonnese to the representatives of the people， Sep. 20)： "The people of Lyons have constantly respected the laws， and if， as in some departments， that of Rhone-et-Loire was for a moment mistaken in the events of May 31， they hastened， as soon as they believed that the Convention was not oppressed， to recognize and execute its decrees. Every day， now that these reach it， they are published and observed within its walls."[73] Moniteur， XVII.， 269. (Session of July 28). (Letter of the administrators of the department of Rhone-et-Loire to the Convention， Lyons， July 24). "We present to the Convention our individual recantation and declaration； in conforming to the law we are entitled to its protection. We petition the court to decide on our declaration， and to repeal the acts which relate to us or make an exception in our favor. . . We have always professed ourselves to be true republicans."[74] Guillon de Montléon， I.， 309， 311， 315， 335. -- Mortimer-Ternaux， VIII.， 197.
