[78] "Archives Nationales，" F7， 2401 to 2505. Records of the section debates in Paris. -- Many of these begin March 28， 1793， and contain the deliberations of revolutionary committees； for example， F7， 2475， the section of the Pikes or of the Place Vend？me. We see by the official reports dated March 28 and the following days that the suspected were deprived all weapons， even the smallest， every species of swordcane， including dress-swords with steel or silver handles.

Quality of mind and education are both indicated by orthography. For instance： "Le dit jour et an que dé？us." - "Orloger." - "Lecture d'une lettre du comitéde surté général de la convention qui invite le comité à se transporter de suites chez le citoyen Louis Féline rue Baubourg， àleffets de faire perquisition chez lui et dans tout ces papiers， et que ceux qui para？trons suspect lon y metes les selés."[81] "Archives Nationales，" F7， 3294.

[86] Buchez et Roux， XXVI. 402 (article from the Patriote Fran？ais， May 8). "Arrests are nultiplied lately to a frightful extent. The mayoralty overflows with prisoners. Nobody has any idea of the insolence and harshness with which citizens are treated. Slaughter and a Saint-Bartholomew are all that are talked of. " -- Meillan， 55. "Let anybody in any assemblage or club express any opinion not in unison with municipal views， and he is sure to be arrested the following night. " -- Gouverneur Morris， March 29， 1793. "Yesterday I was arrested in the street and conducted to the section of Butte-des-Moulins. . . Armed men came to my house yesterday. " -- Reply of the minister Lebrun， April 3.

[90] Schmidt， I.301. "In our sections the best class of citizens are still afraid of imprisonment or of being disarmed. Nobody talks freely." -- The Lyons revolutionaries make the same calculation ("Archives Nationales，" AF， II. 43). Letter addressed to the representatives of the people by the administrators of the department of the Rh？ne， June 4， 1793. The revolutionary committee "designated for La Vendée those citizens who were most comfortably off or those it hated， whilst conditional enlistment with the privilege of remaining in the department were granted only to those in favor of disorganization."-- Cf. Guillon de Montléon， I. 235.
[91] Buchez et Roux， XXVI. 399. Ordinance of the commune， May 3， on a forced loan of twelve millions， article 6. "The revolutionary committees will regard the apportionment 'lists simply as guides， without regarding them as a basis of action." -- Article 14. "The personal and real property of those who have not conformed to the patriotic draft will be seized and sold at the suit of the revolutionary committees， and their persons declared suspected."[92] Buchez et Roux， XXVII. 17 (Patriote Fran？ais， number for May 14).
Franc？ur is taxed at 3，600 francs. -- The same process at Lyons (Balleydier， 174， and Guillon de Montléon， I. 238). The authorized tax by the commissaries of the convention amounted to six millions. The revolutionary committee levied thirty and forty millions， payable in twenty-four hours on warrants without delay (May 13 and 14). Many persons are taxed from 80，000 to 100，000 francs， the text of the requisitions conveying ironically a hostile spirit.

Petition of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine， May 11. -- Schmidt， I. 315(Report by Dutard， May 13). "There is no recruiting in the faubourgs， because people there know that they are more wanted here than in La Vendée. They let the rich go and fight. They watch things here， and trust nobody but themselves to guard Paris."[96] "Archives Nationales，" F7， 2494. Section of the Réunion， official reports of May 15 and 16. -- Buchez et Roux， XXV. 167， ordance of the commune， March 27.
[97] Schmidt， I.327. Report of Perriére， May 28. "Our group itself seemed to governed by nothing but hatred of the rich by the poor. One must be a dull observer not to see by a thousand symptoms that these two natural enemies stand in battle array， only awaiting the signal or the opportunity."[98] Buchez et Roux， XXV. 460. The papers examined by the accusers are the numbers of Marat's journal of the 5th of January and of the 25th of February. The article which provoked the decree is his "Address to the National Convention，" pp. 446 and 450.
