"The French Revolution - Volume 3"


[34] Mallet-Dupan, "M?moires," II., 17. "I have seen the thirty-
second list of ?migr?s at Marseilles, merely of those whose
possessions have been confiscated and sold; there are twelve thousand
of them, and the lists were not finished." - Reports of pr?fets. (Var
by Fanchet, year IX.) "The emigration of 1793 throws upon Leghorn and
the whole Italian coast a very large number of Marseilles and Toulon
traders. These men, generally industrious, have established (there)
more than one hundred and sixty soap factories and opened a market for
the oil of this region. This event may be likened to the Revocation
of the Edict of Nantes." - Cf. the reports on the departments of the
Rh?ne, Aude, Lot and Garonne, Lower Pyrenees, Orme, etc.
[35] Archives des Affaires ?trang?res, vol. 332. (Letter of
D?sgranges, Bordeaux, Brumaire 12, year II.) "Nobody here talks about
trade any more than if it had never existed."

Paris, November 18, 1793.) "Business carried on with difficulty and at
a great risk occasion frequent and serious losses, credit and
resources being almost nothing.
