come in。〃 … Lafayette； 〃Mémoires；〃 vol。 II。； 181。 （Letters to M。 de
Maubourg； Oct。 17； 1799 （noté） Oct。 19； 1800。） According to the
report of the Minister of Police； the list of émigrés； in nine vols。；
still embraced one hundred and forty…five thousand persons；
notwithstanding that thirteen thousand were struck off by the
Directory； and twelve hundred by the consular government。

remaining and still continuing their ministrations； and on those who
returned to resume them。） … To obtain an idea of the situation of the
emigrés and their relations and friends； it is necessary to read the
law of Sep。15； 1794 （Brumaire 25； year III。）； which renews and
generalizes previous laws； children of fourteen years and ten years
are affected by it。 It was with the greatest difficulty； even if one
did not leave France； that a person could prove that he had not
emigrated。

＇13＇ Baulieu； 〃Essais；〃 V。； 283。 At the end of December； 1793；
Camille Desmoulins wrote： 〃Open the prison doors to those two hundred
thousand citizens whom you call 'suspects'！〃 … The number of prisoners
largely increased during the seven following months。 （〃Le Vieux
Cordelier；〃 No。 IV。； Frimaire 30； year II。） … Beaulieu does not state
precisely what the committee of General Security meant by the word
déténu。 Does it merely relate to those incarcerated？ Or must all who
were confined at their own houses be included？ … We are able to verify
his statement and determine the number； at least approximatively； by
taking one department in which the rigor of the revolutionary system
was average and where the lists handed in were complete。 According to
the census of 1791； Doubs contained two hundred and twenty…one
thousand inhabitants； France had a population of 26 millions； and we
have just seen the number of each category that were under
confinement； the proportion for France gives 258 000 persons
incarcerated； and 175 000 confined to their houses； and 175 000
persons besides these on the limits in their communes； or ajournées；
that is to say； 608 000 persons deprived of their liberty。 The first
two categories form a total of 433 000 persons； sufficiently near
Beaulieu's figures。

still full of wretches held for robbery and assassination； poverty…
stricken and repulsive。 … It was with these that counts； marquises；
voluptuous financiers； elegant dandies； and more than one wretched
philosopher； were shut up； pell…mell； in the foulest cells； waiting
until the guillotine could make room in the chambers filled with camp…
bedsteads。 They were generally put with those on the straw； on
entering； where they sometimes remained a fortnight。。。 It was
necessary to drink brandy with these persons； in the evening； after
having dropped their excrement near their straw； they went to sleep in
their filth。 。 。 。 I passed those three nights half…sitting； half…
stretched out on a bench； one leg on the ground and leaning against
