come under my eyes at Landivisiau which might have had a bloody

'35' 〃Archives Nationales;〃 F7; 3196; Letter of M。  de Miran; May 5。

 The spirit of the ruling party at Marseilles is indicated by

by a 〃Requéte à Desmoulins; procureur…général de la Lanterne。〃 It

relates to a 〃patriotic inkstand;〃 recently made out of the stones

of the demolished citadel; representing a hydra with four heads;

symbolizing the nobility; the clergy; the ministry and the judges。

〃It is from the four patriotic skulls of the hydra that the ink of

proscription will he taken for the enemies of the Constitution。

This inkstand; cut out of the first stone that fell in the

demolition of Fort Saint…Nicolas; is dedicated to the patriotic

Assembly of Marseilles。  The magic art of the hero of the liberty of

Marseilles; that Renaud who; under the mask of devotion; surprised

the watchful sentinel of Notre…Dame de la Garde; and whose manly

courage and cunning ensured the conquest of that key of the great

focus of counter…revolution; has just given birth to a new trait of

genius a new Deucalion; he personifies this stone which Liberty has

flung from the summit of our menacing Bastilles; etc。〃

to yield to the arbitrary will of a wild multitude; government no
