These soldiers, who were all workmen out
of employment, do nothing but post themselves in the tribunes of the
clubs, where they, with the women they bring along with them, applaud
the leaders, and so threaten citizens who are disposed to combat them,
and force these to keep their mouths shut." ??De Martel, "Fouch?,"
425. "Javogues, to elude a decree of the Convention (Frimaire 14)
suppressing the revolutionary army in the departments, converted the
twelve hundred men he had embodied in it in the Loire into paid
soldiers."? Ibid., 132. (Letter of Goulin, Bourg, Frimaire 23.)
"Yesterday, at Bourg-R?geri?r?, I found Javogues with about four
hundred men of the revolutionary army whom he had brought with him on
the 20th instant."

[150] We see by Bar?re's report (Germinal 7, year II.) that the
revolutionary army of Paris, instead of being six thousand men, was
only four thousand, which is creditable to Paris. - Mallet-Dupan,
