Foundation of the Republic, August 10, 1792 Caption The image's caption. Vers les dix heures et demi du matin, tout Paris se trouvait pour ainsi dire rassemblé au Carrousel et lieux adjacents, les Marseillais en tête. Ceux-ci demandent qu’on ouvre les portes de la Cour des Princes. Les portes s’ouvrent sans difficulté, ils entrent et s’avancent huit de front, ils sont accueillis, fêtés par les Suisses rangés en haie sur plusieurs files ; ils en reçoivent même des cartouches en signe d’amitié, ils avancent encore suivis du Bataillon des Cordeliers. Arrivés à dix pas du Château un feu roulant part de droite et de gauche à la fois et même à travers les croisées du Château, suivi d’une décharge de canon à mitraille et masqué. Un grand nombre d’hommes tombent à cette décharge inopinée et perfide, leurs camarades se replient en bon ordre et rebroussent chemin sans se débander, soutenus par les Bretons ; le feu ne cessait point ; ils y furent exposés presque seuls et pendant plus d’une heure, attendu que les bataillons Parisiens mal approvisionnés de munitions avaient à peine de la poudre et trois coups a tirer. Les Suisses ne cessaient de fusiller du dedans de leurs casernes où ils se cachaient après le coup pour recharger leur fusil tout à l’aise, fort peu incommodés par les volontaires. On tirait en même temps sur le peuple de chaque fenêtre du Pavillon de Flore et la grande galerie le long du quai plusieurs citoyens, surtout des femmes et des enfants, n’evitèrent les balles qu’en se precipitant par-dessus les parapets dans la rivière. On tirait en même temps et du côté du jardin et du côté de la ville. On tirait des combles et des soupiraux, il paraît que le mot était donné au Chateau de faire une seconde St Barthelemy. Enfin les Marseillais et les Bretons ne sont plus seuls à soutenir l’artillerie cachée des Suisses, les gendarmes à pied et à cheval, qui ont eu tant de part à la gloire de cette journée qui sans eux eut été plus sanglante pour les patriotes, accoururent, sans hésiter un moment fondent sur les casernes avec impétuosité et y mettent le feu. Nombre de cavaliers et de chevaux resteront sur la place, un trompette de 12 ans a son cheval tué sous lui. Son sang-froid ne l’abandonne pas, il coupe la sangle prend son porte manteau et va se placer dans les rangs de l’Infanterie. Les piques ne cedèrent point aux gendarmes pour le courage, elles braverent l’artillerie et furent très utiles mêlées aux baïonnettes. Caption (English) The image's caption, in English. Towards 10:30 in the morning, all Paris seemingly found itself assembled at the Carrousel and nearby places, with the Marseillais at the head. The latter asked that the doors to the Court of Princes be opened. With the doors opening without difficulty, they entered and advanced eight across. They were greeted, feted by the Swiss [guards] in a line with several files. They even received them with some cartridges as a sign of friendship; they advanced then followed by a battalion of the Cordeliers. Ten paces from the Chateau a rolling fire commenced from both right and left at once and even from the windows of the chateau, followed by discharge from shielded cannons firing grapeshot. A great number of men fell from this unforeseen and perfidious discharge, their comrades retreating in good order and returning into the street without breaking up, backed up by the Bretons; the firing did not stop at all; they were exposed almost alone and during more than an hour, waiting for the Paris battalions whose limited firepower consisted of little powder and only three rounds to fire. The Swiss did not stop firing from inside their barracks where they could take cover after a shot to recharge the gun at will, little harassed by the volunteers. Some fired at the same time on the people from the windows of the Pavillon de Flore and the large gallery along the embankment; several citizens, especially women and children, could only avoid the shots by throwing themselves over the parapets into the river. Firing continued at the same time from the direction of the garden and from that of the town. They fired from the roofs and from the air shafts; the word was this was to be a second St. Bartholomew. Finally the Marsellais and the Bretons are not alone, suffering under the artillery from the concealed Swiss. The gendarmes on foot and on horse, who have so much of the glory of the day which without them would have been more bloody for the patriots, ran up, without hesitating a moment, started up impetuously against the barracks and returned fire. A number of cavaliers and horses remained in place, a twelve –year-old bugler had his horse shot out from under him. His sang-froid did not abandon him; he cut the girth, dropped his bag, and took his place in the ranks of infantry. The pikemen cede nothing to the gendarmes in courage, braving the artillery, and were very useful in the bayonet battle.

Text Any textual data included in the document But Jean Blaise resumed in a tone of superiority: "You walk in a dream; I see life as it is. Believe me, friend Revolution is a bore; it lasts over long. Five years of enthusiasm, five years of fraternal embraces, of massacres, of fine speeches, Marseillaises, of tocsins, of 'hang up the aristocrats,' of heads promenaded on pikes, of women mounted astride of cannon, of trees of Liberty crowned with the red cap, of white-robed maidens and old men drawn about the streets in flower-wreathed cars; of imprisonments and guillotinings, of proclamations, and short commons, of cockades and plumes, swords and carmagnoles—it grows tedious! And then folk are beginning to lose the hang of it all. We have gone through too much, we have seen too many of the great men and noble patriots whom you have led in triumph to the Capitol only to hurl them afterwards from the Tarpeian rock,—Necker, Mirabeau, La Fayette, Bailly, Pétion, Manuel, and how many others! How can we be sure you are not preparing the same fate for your new heroes? . . . Men have lost all count." "Their names, citoyen Blaise; name them, these heroes we are making ready to sacrifice!" cried Gamelin in a tone that recalled the print-dealer to a sense of prudence. "I am a Republican and a patriot," he replied, clapping his hand on his heart. "I am as good a Republican as you, as ardent a patriot as you, citoyen Gamelin. I do not suspect your zeal nor accuse you of any backsliding. But remember that my zeal and my devotion to the State are attested by numerous acts. Here you have my principles. I give my confidence to every individual competent to serve the Nation. Before the men whom the general voice elects to the perilous honor of the Legislative office, such as Marat, such as Robespierre, I bow my head; I am ready to support them to the measure of my poor ability and offer them the humble cooperation of a good citizen. The Committees can bear witness to my ardor and self-sacrifice. In conjunction with true patriots, I have furnished oats and fodder to our gallant cavalry, boots for our soldiers. This very day I am dispatching from Vernon a convoy of sixty oxen to the Army of the South through a country infested with brigands and patrolled by the emissaries of Pitt and Conde. I do not talk; I act." Gamelin calmly put back his sketches in his portfolio, the strings of which he tied and then slipped it under his arm. "It is a strange contradiction," he said through his clenched teeth, "to see men help our soldiers to carry through the world the liberty they betray in their own homes by sowing discontent and alarm in the soul of its defenders. . . . Greeting and farewell, citoyen Blaise." . . . In the Tuileries gardens he caught the distant roar of a host of men, a sound of many voices shouting in accord, so familiar in those great days of popular enthusiasm which the enemies of the Revolution declared would never dawn again. He quickened his pace as the noise grew louder and louder and reached the Rue Honoré and found it thronged with a crowd of men and women yelling: "Vive la Republique! Vive la Liberté!" The walls of the gardens, the windows, the balconies, the very roofs were black with lookers-on waving hats and handkerchiefs. Preceded by a sapper, who cleared a way for the procession, surrounded by Municipal Officers, National Guards, gunners, gendarmes, hussars, advanced slowly, high above the backs of the citizens, a man of a bilious complexion, a wreath of oak-leaves about his brow, his body wrapped in an old green surtout with an ermine collar. The women threw him flowers, while he cast about him the piercing glance of his jaundiced eyes, as though, in this enthusiastic multitude he was still searching out enemies of the people to denounce, traitors to punish. As he went by, Gamelin bent his head and joining his voice to a hundred thousand others, shouted his: "Vive Marat!" The triumphant hero entered the Hall of the Convention like Fate personified. While the crowd slowly dispersed Gamelin sat on a post in the Rue Honoré and pressed his hand over his heart to check its wild beating. What he had seen filled him with emotion and burning enthusiasm. He loved and worshiped Marat, who, sick and fevered, his veins on fire, eaten up by ulcers, was wearing out the last remnants of his strength in the service of the Republic, and in his own poor house, closed to no man, welcomed him with open arms, conversed eagerly with him of public affairs, questioned him sometimes on machinations of evil-doers. He rejoiced that the enemies of the Just, conspiring for his ruin, had prepared his triumph; he blessed the Revolutionary Tribunal, which, acquitting the Friend of the People, had given back to the Convention the most zealous and most immaculate of its legislators. Again his eyes could see the head racked with fever, garlanded with the civic crown, the features distinct, with virtuous pride and pitiless love, the worn, ravaged, powerful face, the close-pressed lips, the broad chest, the strong man dying by inches who, raised aloft in the living chariot of his triumph, seemed to exhort his fellow-citizens: "Be ye like me,—patriots to the death!" The street was empty, darkening with the shadows of approaching night; the lamplighter went by with his cresset, and Gamelin muttered to himself: "Yes, to the death!"
