provinces because the restraints of executive power are no longer

intendants； tribunals； and the army。 The intendants are gone； the
tribunals are silent； and the army is against the executive power

multiplied outbreaks we have in all parts of my jurisdiction。 The
impunity with which they flatter themselves； because the judges are
afraid of irritating the people by examples of severity； only
emboldens them。 Mischief…makers； confounded with honest folks；
spread false reports about particular persons whom they accuse of
concealing grain； or of not belonging to the Third…Estate； and；

can find； the owners only avoiding death by flight。〃

Correspondence of M。 deThiard； September 20； 1789 （apropos of one
hundred guns given to the town of Saint…Brieuc）。 〃They are not of
the slightest use； but this passion for arms is a temporary epidemic

witness）； July 21st。 Of Dampmartin （eye…witness）； I。 105。 M。
de Rochambeau shows the usual indecision and want of vigor： whilst
the mob are pillaging houses and throwing things out of the windows；
he passes in front of his regiments （8；000 men） drawn up for action；
and says； 〃My friends； my good friends； you see what is going on。
How horrible！ Alas！ these are your papers； your titles and those of
your parents。〃 The soldiers smile at this sentimental prattle。

provisions。 The shops are all closed； and； for twenty…four hours；
the officers are not obeyed。 （De Dampmartin； I。 105。）
