[27] Buchez et Roux， XV. 122. Declaration of Lareynie， a volunteer soldier in the Ile Saint-Louis battalion. -- To those which he names Iadd Huguenin， because on the 20th of June it was his duty to read the petition of the rioters； also Saint-Huruge， because he led the mob with Santerre. -- About Rossignol， Cf. Dauban， "La Demagogie à Paris，"369 (according to the manuscript memoirs of Mercier du Rocher). He reaches Fontenay Aug.21， 1793， with the representative Bourbotte， Momoro， commissary-general， three adjutants， Moulins， Hasard， the ex-priest， Grammont， an ex-actor and several prostitutes. "The prettiest shared her bed with Bourbotte and Rossignol." They lodge in a mansion to which seals are affixed. "The seals were broken， and jewelry， dresses， and female apparel were confiscated for the benefit of the general and his followers. There was nothing， even down to the crockery， which did not become the booty of these self-styled republicans"[28] Mathon de la Varenne， "Histoire particulière des événements qui ont eu lieu en juin， juillet， ao？t， et septembre， 1792，" p. 23. (He knew Saint-Huruge personally.) Saint-Huruge had married an actress at Lyons in 1778. On returning to Paris he learned through the police that his wife was a trollop， and he treated her accordingly. Enraged， she looked up Saint-Huruge's past career， and found two charges against him， one for the robbery and assassination of an alien merchant， and the other for infanticide； she obtained his incarceration by a lettre-de-cachet. He was shut in Charenton from Jan. 14， 1781， to December， 1784， when he was transferred to another prison and afterwards exiled to his estates， from which he fled to England. He returned to France on the outbreak of the Revolution.
[29] With respect to connivance， Cf. Mortimer-Ternaux， I. 132 and the following pages. - Mallet du Pan， "Mémoires，" I. 300. Letter of the Abbé de Pradt， June 21， 1795. "The insurrection had been announced for several days. . . The evening before， 150 deputies so many Jacobins， had dined at their great table in the Champs-Elysées， and distributed presents of wine and food."[30] Moniteur， XII. 642 (session of June 12， 1792， narrative of M.
Delfaux， deputy). - The execution of Damiens was witnessed by Parisians still living， while "Charles IX.，，" by Marie Chénier， was at this time the most popular tragedy. -- The French people，" says M.
Ferières (I. 35)， "went away from its representation eager for vengeance and tormented with a thirst for blood. At the end of the fourth act a lugubrious bell announces the moment of the massacre， and the audience， drawing in its breath sighing and groaning， furiously exclaims silence！ silence！ as if fearing that the sound of this death-knell had not stirred the heart to its very depths." -- " Révolutions de Paris，" number for June 23， 1792. "The speakers， under full sail， distributed their parts amongst themselves，" one against the staffs， another against priests， another against judges， department， and the ministers， and especially the king. "Some there are， and we agree in this with the sieur Delfaux， who pass the measure and advise murder through gestures， eyes， and speech."[31] Mortimer-Ternaux， I. 133. -- There is the same calculation and the same work-shop in the faubourg Saints-Marcel (report of Saint-Prix， commandant of the Val-de-Grace battalion). "Minds remained tranquil until a club was opened at the Porte Saint-Marcel； now they are all excited and divided. This dub， which is in contact with that of Santerre， urges citizens to go armed to-morrow (June 20) to the National Assembly and to the king's Palace， notwithstanding the acts of the constituted authorities."[32] Mortimer-Ternaux， I. 136. This program is first presented to the council-general of the commune by Lazowski and nine others (June 16).
The council-general rejects it and refers to the law. "The petitioners， on learning this decision， loudly declare that it shall not prevent them from assembling in arms" (Buchez et Roux， XV. 120， official report by M. Borie). -- The bibliography of documents relating to the 20th of June is given by Mortimer-Ternaux， I. 397 and following pages. The principal documents are found in Mortimer-Ternaux， in "L'Histoire Parlementaire" of Buchez et Roux， and in the Revue Rétrospective.
