[103]
Hence the decrees of arrest or death, launched weekly from the top of
the "Mountain," fall on the majority like guns fired into a crowd.
Decrees of accusation follow: on the 15th of June, against Duch?tel,
on the 17th against Barbaroux, on the 23rd against Brissot, on the 8th
of July against Dev?rit? and Condorcet, on the 14th against Lauze-
Deperret and Fauchet, on the 30th against Duprat Jr., Val?e and
Mainvielle, on the 2nd of August against Rouyer, Brunel and Carra;
Carra, Lauze-Deperret and Fauchet, present during the session, are
seized on the spot, which is plain physical warning: none is more
effective to check the unruly. -- Decrees are passed on the 18th of
July accusing Coustard, on the 28th of July against Gensonn?, La
Source, Vergniaud, Mollevaut, Gardien, Grangeneuve, Fauchet, Boilleau,
Valaz?, Cussy, Meillan; each being aware that the tribunal before
which he must appear is the waiting room to the guillotine. --
Decrees of condemnation are passed on the 12th of July against
Birotteau, the 28 of July against Buzot, Barbaroux, Gorsas,
Lanjuniais, Salles, Louvet, Bergoeing, P?tion, Guadet, Chasset,
Chambon, Lidon, Valady, Defermon, Kervel?gen, Larivi?re, Rabaut-Saint-
?tienne, and Lesage; pronounced outlaws and traitors, they are to be
led to the scaffold without trial as soon as they can be got hold of.
