M. d'Ormesson, former
comptroller-general of the Treasury, the Marquis of Gontant, M. de
Vandeuil, former maitre de requ?tes, M. Garnier, former conseiller au
Ch?telet of Paris and others of the same order, all electors. It is
another world ; in one month we have gone back five years." - Ibid.,

"Outside of five or six men who might be regarded as 'suspects' of
royalism the most animated were only really irritated against the
despotic conduct and depredations of the directors and not against the
republican system."
[43] Mallet-Dupan, ibid:, I., 369. (Letter of Nov.22, 1795.) "Never
would the resistance of the sections have shown itself so unanimously
and so perseveringly without the promptings of the two hundred
monarchist members of the convention and the aid they promised. They
had engaged to enter the tribune and support the cause of Paris, to
carry the majority and, in case they did not succeed in revoking the
decree respecting the two-thirds, to withdraw from the Convention and
come and take their seats with the sections; the pusillanimity of
these two hundred members caused the failure of these promises.
