he inquisition meet on common ground;
the earth is not big enough for any but himself and the orthodox of his
species. Employing absurd, inflated and sinister terms he decrees the
extermination of heretics: not only shall their monuments, dwellings and
persons be destroyed, but every vestige of them shall be eradicated and
their names lost to the memory of man.[11102]

"The name of Toulon shall be abolished; that commune shall henceforth
bear the name of Port-la-Montagne."--"The name of Lyons shall be
stricken off the list of towns belonging to the Republic; the remaining
collection of houses shall henceforth bear the name of Ville-Affranchie.
A column shall be erected on the ruins of Lyons bearing this
inscription: 'Lyons made war on Liberty! Lyons is no more!'"

X. Destruction of the Girondin party

Destruction of the Girondin party.--Proscription of the
Deputies of the "Right".--Imprisonment of the 73.--Execution
of the 21.--Execution, suicide, or flight of the rest.

In all this there is no intention to spare in Paris the chiefs of the
insurrection or of the party, either deputies or ministers; on the
contrary, the object is to complete the subjection of the Convention,
to stifle the murmurs of the "Right," to impose silence on Ducos,
Boyer-Fonfrede, Vernier, and Couhey, who still speak and protest.[11103]
Hence the decrees of arrest or death, launched weekly from the top
of the "Mountain," fall on the majority like guns fired into a crowd.
Decrees of accusation follow: on the 15th of June, against Duchatel, on
the 17th against Barbaroux, on the 23rd against Brissot, on the 8th of
July against Deverite and Condorcet, on the 14th against Lauze-Deperret
and Fauchet, on the 30th against Duprat Jr., Valee and Mainvielle,
on the 2nd of August against Rouyer, Brunel and Carra; Carra,
Lauze-Deperret and Fauchet, present during the session, are seized on
the spot, which is plain physical warning: none is more effective to
check the unruly.--Decrees are passed on the 18th of July accusing
Coustard, on the 28th of July against Gensonne, La Source, Vergniaud,
Mollevaut, Gardien, Grangeneuve, Fauchet, Boilleau, Valaze, Cussy,
Meillan; each being aware that the tribunal before which he must appear
is the waiting room to the guillotine.--Decrees of condemnation are
passed on the 12th of July against Birotteau, the 28 of July against
Buzot, Barbaroux, Gorsas, Lanjuniais, Salles, Louvet, Bergoeing,
Petion,
