supposed but that of religious anxieties。〃
'13' Decree of Nov。 9; 1791。 The first decree seems to be aimed only
at the armed gatherings on the frontier。 We see; however; by the
debates; that it affects all emigrants。 The decrees of Feb。 9 and
March 30; 1792; bear upon all; without exception。 〃Correspondance
de Mirabeau et du Comte de la Marck;〃 III。 264 (letter by M。 Pellenc;
Nov。 12; 1791) The decree (against the emigrants) was prepared in
committee; it was expected that the emigrants would return; but there
was fear of them。 It was feared that the nobles; associated with the
unsworn priests in the rural districts; might add strength to a
troublesome resistance。 The decree; as it was passed; seemed to be the
most suitable for keeping the emigrants beyond the frontiers。〃

'18' At the Jacobin Club; Legendre proposes a much a more expeditious
measure for getting rid of the priests。 〃At Brest; he says; boats are
found which are called Marie…Salopes; so constructed that; on being
loaded with dirt; they go out of the harbor themselves。 Let us have a
similar arrangement for priests; but; instead of sending them out of
the harbor; let us send them out to sea; and; if necessary; let them

addressed Jan。 5 to the club of Brest; by Messrs。 Cavalier and
Malassis; deputies to the National Assembly: 〃As to the matter of the
sieur Lajaille; even though we would have taken an interest in him;
that decorated aristocrat only deserved what he got。 。 。 We shall not
remain idle until all these traitors; these perjurers; whom we have
spared so long; shall be exterminated〃 (Mercure de France; Feb。 4)。

Letters by M。 de la Jaille; etc。 M。 de la Jaille; sent to Brest

dinner; twenty persons enter the room; and announce to him; 〃in the
name of many others;〃 that his presence in Brest is causing trouble;
that he must leave; and that 〃he will not be allowed to take command
of a vessel。〃 He replies; that he will leave the town; as soon as he
has finished his dinner。 Another deputation follows; more numerous
than the first one; and insists on his leaving at once; and they act
as his escort。 He submits; is conducted to the city gates; and there
the escort leaves him。 A mob attacks him; and 〃his body is covered
with contusions。 He is rescued; with great difficulty; by six brave
fellows; of whom one is a pork…dealer; sent to bleed him on the spot。
〃This insurrection is due to an extra meeting of 'The Friends of the
constitution;' held the evening before in the theater; to which the
public were invited。〃 M。 de la Jaille; it must be stated; is not a
proud aristocrat; but a sens
