[60] Dauban, "Paris en 1794, 285, and following pages. (Police
Reports, Germinal, year II.) Arrest of H?bert and associates "Nothing
was talked about the whole morning but the atrocious crimes of the
conspirators. They were regarded as a thousand times more criminal
than Capet and his wife. They ought to be punished a thousand times
over. . . . The popular hatred of H?bert is at its height . . .
. The people cannot forgive H?bert for having deceived them. . . .
Popular rejoicings were universal on seeing the conspirators led to
the scaffold."
[61] Moniteur, XXIV., 53. (Session of Germinal 2, year III.) Words of
Prieur de la C?te-d'Or: "The first quarrel that occurred in the
Committee was between Saint-Just and Carnot; the latter says to the
former, 'I see that you and Robespierre are after a dictatorship.'" -
Ibid., 74. Levasseur makes a similar statement.-Ibid., 570. (Session
of Germinal 2, year III., words of Carnot): "I had a right to call
Robespierre a tyrant every time I spoke to him. I did the same with
Saint-Just and Couthon."
[62] Carnot, I., 525. (Testimony of Prieur.) Ibid., 522. Saint-Just
says to Carnot: "You are in league with the enemies of the patriots.
