patriot soldiers under Kellerman.)
[71] Mortimer-Ternaux, VIII., 222. - The insurrection of Toulon,
Girondist at the start, dates July 1st. - Letter of the new
administrators of Toulon to the Convention. "W desire the Republic,
one and indivisible; there is no sign of rebellion with us. . .
Representatives Barras and Fr?ron lie shamefully in depicting us as
anti-revolutionaries, on good terms with the English and the families
of Vend?e." - 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 Montl?on, 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.
