of the people
by artful speeches, by violent exclamations or threats.

"II. Those who with more caution speak in a mysterious way of the
public misfortunes, who appear to pity the lot of the people, and
are ever ready to spread bad news with an affectation of concern.

"III. Those who adapt their conduct and language to the
circumstances of the moment--who, in order to be taken for

vehemence against the most trifling error in a patriot, but mollify

complaint. [These trifling events were, being concerned in the

"IX. Those who do not frequent the assembly of their section, and
offer, for excuse, that they are no orators, or have no time to
spare from their own business.

"X. Those who speak with contempt of the constituted authorities,
of the rigour of the laws, of the popular societies, and the
defenders of liberty.

"XI. Those who have signed anti-revolutionary petitions, or any
time frequented unpatriotic clubs, or were known
