The Assembly was sufficiently wise not to require the advice of M.de Bouille, and strong enough to despise the threats of a proscribed man.
M.de Cazales sent in his resignation, in order to _go and fight (aller combattre)_.

The most prominent members of the right side, amongst whom were Maury, Montlozier, the abbe Montesquieu, the abbe de Pradt, Virieu, &c.

&c., to the number of two hundred and ninety, took a pernicious resolution, which, by removing all counterpoise from the extreme party of the Revolution, precipitated the fall of, and destroyed, the king, under pretext of a sacred respect for royalty.

They remained in the Assembly, but they annulled their power, and would only be considered as a living protest against the violation of the royal liberty and authority.

The Assembly refused to hear the reading of their protest, which was itself a violation of their elective power; and they then published it and circulated it profusely all over the kingdom.
