KEVOLUTIONAKY TRIBUNAL. 



Revolutionary citizens, 

 •"I ^ HE tribunal you established, 

 JL to du justice to the people on 

 their enemies, has at length termi- 

 nated its labours ; it has now to 

 discharge an essential duty, that 

 of submitting to you au account of 

 its operations. 



Engaged in so arduous a task, the 

 members of the tribunal have had 

 for a basis no rule whatever^ no 

 particular law, no organization: 



and notwithstanding, when they 

 entered on their functions, they 

 found on the books of the gaoler 

 more than 400 prisoners ; they ac- 

 cordingly began by establishing the 

 offences which were to be sub- 

 mitted to their judgement, and 

 these they divided into the seven 

 following classes : 



1. The resolution for the gua- 

 rantee, and of consequence, for 

 the entry of foreign troops. 



2. The armaments against the 

 patriots, both in the city and ter- 

 ritory. 



is. The machinations against the 

 establishment of equality and li- 

 berty. 



4. The machinations against the 

 independence of the repubhc. 



5. The manoeuvres known un- 

 per the title of stock -jobbing, by 

 which the public credit has been 

 injured, several families ruined, and 

 the state embroiled with the French 

 republic. 



6. The manoeuvres practised on 

 oiu" neighbours and allies, the Swiss, 

 to engage them to break the alli- 

 ance. And, 



7. The manoeuvres set on foot to 

 corrupt the pubhc morals. ^ 



The accused have all of them 

 been examined by the revolutionary 

 tribunal, as well by public and pri- 

 vate interrogations, as by precepts 

 ■ taken. Tlie toUowing is the total 

 amount of the sentences pronounced, 

 the detailed list of which, with the 

 names, will be printed and publish- 

 ed at the end of this report : 



Thirty-seven sentenced to death, 

 twenty-six of whom are in a statu 

 of outlawry. 



Ninety-four sentenced to perpe- 

 tual banishment, twenty-eight of 

 whom liave nut appeared before the 

 tribunal.
