The next day, in spite of the prohibitions of the Assembly, It sends Fournier and his band to Orleans (Mortimer-Ternaux, III.

364), and each knows beforehand that Fournier is commissioned to kill them on the way.
(Balleydier, "Histoire politique et militaire du people de Lyon," I.79.
Letter of Laussel, dated at Paris, Aug.28): "Our volunteers are at Orleans for the past two or three days to bring the anti-revolutionary prisoners here, who are treated too well there." On the day of Fournier's departure (Aug.

24) Moore observes in the Palais Royal and at the Tuileries "a greater number than usual of stump-speakers of the populace, hired for the purpose of inspiring the people with a horror of monarchy."] [Footnote 3145: Moniteur, Sept.

25,1792, speech by Marat in the Convention.] [Footnote 3146: See his two journals, "L'Ami du people" and the "Journal de la Republic Francaise," especially for July and October 1792 .-- The number for August 16 is headed: "Development of the vile plot of the court to destroy all patriots with fire and sword."-- That of August 19: "The infamous conscript Fathers of the Circus, betraying the people and trying to delay the conviction of traitors until Mottie arrives, is marching with his army on Paris to destroy all patriots!"-- That of Aug.
21: "The rotters of the Assembly, the perfidious accomplices of Mottie arranging for flight...

The conscript Fathers, the assassins of patriots at Nancy, the Champ de Mars and in the Tuileries, etc."-- All this was yelled out daily every morning by those who hawked these journals through the streets.] [Footnote 3147: Ami du Peuple, Aug.19 and 21.] [Footnote 3148: "Lettres autographs de Madame Roland," published by Madame Bancal des Issarts, Sept.9.
