deputy, is massacred at the feet of the president; the assassin of Ferrand is condemned 22. to death, but is rescued by the people; the 23. suburb St. Antoine marches against the convention, which is in extreme danger and 24. alarm; divisions take place among the insurgents, and they lose their force at once. After having had the advantage some time, the terrorists are overcome by the moderates. The convention resumes its deliberations, disarms the fauxbourgs, decrees the arrest of a great number of its own members, and orders the immediate execution of fifty of the chiefs of the insurrection. Decreed, that Barrere's transportation be suspended, and that he be tried again, his sentence being too mild. The terrorists rise at Toulon, as at Paris, and are subdued with much difficulty and bloodshed. 25. The Chouans, seeing themselves betrayed and deceived by a phantom of a treaty which had been held out to them as secure and permanent, again take up arms. 28. Rhull blows his brains out. A petition is presented to the convention demanding a separation of the supreme powers, as the only means of guarding against tyranny. The Spaniards are again defeated by Kellerman. A camp of 3000 men, chiefly cavalry, formed at the Tuilleries. A proclamation of the convention to French seamen concludes thus, "War, eternal war, against the "English." Lanjuinais obtains a decree for freedom of religious worship. 31. Decreed, that the revolutionary tribunals, created May 13, 1793, be suppressed. Ordered, that the tribunals prosecute the authors and accomplices of the massacres of Sept. 2, 1792. The convention, afraid that Barrere's trial should take up too much time, decrees that he be transported to Africa.
