ellious paper-leaves, named Proclamations,
Resolutions, Journals, or Diurnals 'of the Union for Resistance to
Oppression.' In particular, the Town of Caen, in Calvados, sees its
paper-leaf of Bulletin de Caen suddenly bud, suddenly establish
itself as Newspaper there; under the Editorship of Girondin National
Representatives!

For among the proscribed Girondins are certain of a more desperate
humour. Some, as Vergniaud, Valaze, Gensonne, 'arrested in their own
houses' will await with stoical resignation what the issue may be. Some,
as Brissot, Rabaut, will take to flight, to concealment; which, as the
Paris Barriers are opened again in a day or two, is not yet difficult.
But others there are who will rush, with Buzot, to Calvados; or far over
France, to Lyons, Toulon, Nantes and elsewhither, and then rendezvous
at Caen: to awaken as with war-trumpet the respectable Departments; and
strike down an anarchic Mountain Faction; at least not yield without a
stroke at it. Of this latter temper we count some score or more, of the
Arrested, and of the Not-yet-arrested; a Buzot, a Barbaroux, Louvet,
Guadet, Petion, who have escaped from Arrestment in their own homes;
a Salles, a Pythagorean Valady, a Duchatel, the Duchatel that came in
blanket and nightcap to vote for the life of Louis, who have escaped
from danger and likelihood of Arrestment. These, to the number at one
time of Twenty-seven, do accordingly lodge here, at the 'Intendance,
or Departmental Mansion,' of the Town of Caen; welcomed by Persons in
Authority; welcomed and defrayed, having no money of their own. And the
Bulletin de Caen comes forth, with the most animating paragraphs: How
the Bourdeaux Department, the Lyons Department, this Department after
the other is declaring itself; sixty, or say sixty-nine, or seventy-two
(Meillan, p. 72, 73; Louvet, p. 129.) respectable Departments either
declaring, or ready to declare. Nay Marseilles, it seems, will march on
Paris by itself, if need be. So has Marseilles Town said, That she
will march. But on the other hand, that Montelimart Town has said, No
thoroughfare; and means even to 'bury herself' under her own stone and
mortar first--of this be no mention in Bulletin of Caen.

Such animating paragraphs we read in this Newspaper; and fervours, and
eloquent sarcasm: tirades against the Mountain, frame pen of Deputy
Salles; which resemble, say friends, Pascal's Provincials. What is
more to the purpose, these Girondins have
