196 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1794. 



Four sentenced to exile of a 

 longer or shorter duration. 



Two hundred and sixty-four 

 sentenced to domcEtic confinement 

 for a longer or shorter period. 



Ten sentenced to perpetual im- 

 prisonment in the Maison de Force- 



Seven sentenced to imprisonment 

 in the same house of detention for 

 different terms. 



Three bailiffs, or common Ser- 

 jeants, have been deprived of their 

 posts. 



Eighty-nine have been dismissed. 

 This maltes a total of 50S indi- 

 viduals. 



Thus are the people at length 

 avenged ; and thus is the struggle, 

 which lasted for a century between 

 the oppressors and the oppressed, 

 terminated. Independence has suf- 

 fered no outrage; liberty and equa- 

 lity triumph ; and national justice 

 has for ever taken up her abode in 

 th» republic. 



In the midst of the immense la- 

 bours with which it has been 

 charged, the tribunal has not been 

 able to pay an attention to all those 

 who, having conducted themselves 

 in a way contrary to liberty and 

 equality, were perhaps deserving 

 of pujiisliment. For this purpose, 

 it would have been necessarv to 

 protract the existence of the tribunal 

 a third time : but every citi'ien 

 iviust be satisfied, that the lessoW 

 which has been given, as terrible as 

 it is just, ought to be sufficient. If, 

 however, such should be the result 

 of the immediate events, that the 

 aristocracy, now so completely sub- 

 jugated, should again dare to raise 

 its head ; that those who have not 

 been tried should presume to avail 

 themselves of that clemency, by 

 employing any manoeuvres what- 

 ever, recollect, revolutionary citi- 



zens, that in such a case there re- 

 mains an authority capable of re- 

 pressing these attempts- The revo- 

 lutionary committee has the inter- 

 mediate power of punishing them, 

 as will appear by two clauses of the 

 resolution by which it is constitut- 

 ed. They are as follow : 



Art. 4. Section 2.— To take all 

 measures calculated to secure the 

 success of the revolution, as well 

 as all those relative to public se- 

 crecy. 



Section 5. — To propose to the 

 revolutionary societies every mea- 

 sure which circumstances may call 

 for. 



Let those tremble, then, who may 

 form the culpable project of im- 

 peding the progress of the revolu- 

 tion in any manner whatever, and 

 of thus preventing the attainment 

 of the aim which every good citi- 

 zen ought to have in view, that of 

 making the Genevesc at length a 

 nation of brethren. 



It becomes the tribunal to remind 

 the revolutionists, that, having been 

 established by them, it has never for 

 a single instant lost sight of the di- 

 rect and immediate power of its 

 constituents. That conformably to 

 this principle it has considered it as i 

 a duty to attend to all the requisi- 

 tions made to it in the name of the 

 revolutionary mass ; and that thus 

 all the operations and sentences of 

 the tribunal, against which no pro- 

 test has been made, are confirmed 

 by the tacit approbation of the re- 

 volutionists. The tribunal hai not 

 neglected to provide for the means 

 of executing the sentences it has 

 jiassed : and to the end that no 

 doubt should remain on that head, 

 declares that it has charged the re- 

 volutionary committee to carry these 

 sentences into execution without 



abatement
