It is true that you have opened your doors to receive them: they have entered this room to examine your countenance and ascertain your forces; but they are not as yet associated and knit together; nor have they acquired, by frequent visits here, and by listening to your discourses, that confidence and patriotism that form the great and good citizen." The people, who sighed for repose after so many exciting scenes, destitute of work, money, and food, and intimidated by the approach of a severe winter, saw with indifference the attempt and the retraction of the Assembly, and suffered the deputies who had supported the decree to be insulted with impunity.

Goupilleau, Couthon, Basire, Chabot, were threatened in the very Assembly by the officers of the national guard.
"Beware!" said these soldiers of the people, bought over to the cause of the throne; "we will not suffer the Revolution to advance another step.
We know you--we will watch you--you shall be hewed to pieces by our bayonets." These deputies, seconded by Barrere, came to the Jacobins' club, to denounce these outrages; but no effect was produced, and they gained nothing save expression of sterile indignation.

The king, reassured by this state of public feeling, proceeded, on the 7th, to the Assembly, where his appearance was the signal for unanimous acclamations.

Some applauded _the king_, others applauded the constitution, in the person of the king.

It inspired with real fanaticism that mass that judges of things by words alone, and believes all that the law proclaims sacred to be imperishable.

Not content with crying _Vive le Roi_, they cried also _Vive sa Majeste;_ and the acclamations of one part of the people thus avenged themselves on the offences of the others, and revered those titles that a decree had striven to efface.
