PARIS UP TO THE 14TH OF JULY.
I .-- Mob recruits in the vicinity Entry of vagabonds .-- The number of paupers.
INDEED it is in the center that the convulsive shocks are strongest.
Nothing is lacking to aggravate the insurrection--neither the liveliest provocation to stimulate it, nor the most numerous bands to carry it out.

The environs of Paris all furnish recruits for it; nowhere are there so many miserable wretches, so many of the famished, and so many rebellious beings.

Robberies of grain take place everywhere--at Orleans, at Cosne, at Rambouillet, at Jouy, at Pont-Saint-Maxence, at Bray-sur-Seine, at Sens, at Nangis.[1201] Wheat flour is so scarce at Meudon, that every purchaser is ordered to buy at the same time an equal quantity of barley.

At Viroflay, thirty women, with a rear-guard of men, stop on the main road vehicles, which they suppose to be loaded with grain.
