A deputation of the citizen's ot Koeen j
presented themfeives at the bar, and (hew '
ing the affe&ing petition of the Wants of t
the commune, which is threatened with 1
famine.
The convention f;nt the petition to the
roniiwittee of public fafety to take the :
raeafnres necefiary for the provision of the i
commune H Houen. . (
Merlin de Dauai, in the name of the (
eommittee «f public fafety, makes a re
port, at the end of Which, after having <
presented how important it is that the coif- t
ver.tion leaves ho doubt of the moral prin- I
tiplrs which ought to guide the French
- people and their rfpfflentitfirej, he pre- 1
Jented the prcye<ft of the following clerk- 5
ration. •
Declaration df the tftntii! pfltfclpt-el ,
I>f forial erder and of the republic. '' t
The convention ootlfidernlg' (
That the only bafu of ibcial order Snd
»f public happiness, are manners, princi- t
and law? 1 that ni|naers cannot be the t
frii'f sf anv thing but education, inllruc- '
, 1 tiou, pubwe itiihtutions, habits, and
j lime—
That wilt laws are the i*efu!t of pro
found meditation, ami that certimty of
' their execution Can bt founded only upon
manners—
That principles invariably fixed, supply
at least .for r tinat, flie db,Hi<hmt?nt of
' manners arid the perfection cf the lawsl
That epoch, at which it is the molt im
portant to proclaim these principles, is
that in which experience has deruonitraf- j
1 ed the danger of their violation.
That the lame epwch is also that, in
whicl) the r.i iunU.' sentiment of the
evils that crroi gives birth to, gives au ir
refiihl;le force to truth.
That'if malevol.uee and perfidy exert
themfeives to red'lce all principles into
problems, humanity, patriotrf\n ? and
! wisdom ought to haflen to cover them from
I all oonteftatlrfn ; and !ina ly'to give them
a basis which cannot be deltroved,
Declares the following articles—funda
mental principles of social order and of
the.French Republic:
I. The sovereign people of France, arc
the collection of all the citizens from all
Departments, without diftin&ion of con
dition, profeffion or fortune.
Any lection or fraction vf the people,
any condition or profeffion, any society,
assembly or mob, arc not the French peo
ple j whoever fays the contrary, is either
a fool, an impostor, or a brigand.
Him who tells the citizens of their vir
tues, without warning them of their er
rors, or of their rights, without recalling
to tfcem their duties, is either a flatterer
who deceives them, a knave who pillages
tlwm, of an ambitious rain who seeks to
enfhve them.
The'true friend of the people is him
who addrefies to them courageously, solid
truths, it is him wliom the people ought to
chei'ilh, honarand prefer in elections.
11. The equality of rights between the
citizens, i* the elTential basis of the -Re
public.'
The inequality between talents, and
•mediocrity, between induftryand incapa
city, between aiHvi'y and idleness, be
tween economy and prodigality, between
iobriety and intemperance, between pro
bity and knavery, between virtue and
vice, is in the republic, morethan in any
government, the eiTential iaw of nature
and maimers.
111. The liberty ailing, beittg W
the power of doing what hurts no body, ,
cannot irielude the impunity of criminal
ad! ions. ' 1
IV. In the fame manner the liberty ef 1
aftembling peaceably, does not inrlude the
impunity of crimes br oifeijces committed 1
by mobs. , j
The right of oVgiuizing, of deliljerat- "
ii)g, of making prdinancea, belongs only
to the aflemblies authorized by the law, '
and united »nder the form, in the places,
at the days and hours which it has pre- 1
scribed.
All other afTemblies, which under what (
denomination they may be, Iheuld permit ,
themfeives to make decrees of any kind,
is a prohibition mob , if it is proposed to C
resist the laws of the confiituted authori- 1
ties it is a seditious mob. f
Any illegal alTembly, any mob, Viy r
seditious movements cannot be exercised
by the abuse of principles upon the infur- c
region.
T he infurrei£lion cannstexereife itfelfbut
w hen the government violates the rights of C
the people : it is but a punifliabie rebelli-
on, wherf that violation on the part of the 1
go /ernment has not been formally acknow- c
ledged and declared by the primary aifi m- e
bhes in all the Republic, legally convoked, t
V. All systems ot Administration and r
.egi flatten tending to subjugate the French
people to the government or terror, to
proferibe, persecute, or defame in a mass, 1
p session or function; to 1
eiUßlilh between the citizens any diflir.ai p
ans, but that of good and bad ; to nourith c
bftween them sentiment- of hatred and f
division, to know with the name of patri- 1:
ots, men without manners, without probi
ty and without humanity; to alter or cor- V
rupt moral principles ; to establish pirn- f
cular sign« of alrembling together, »' a 1
ciime. t v
All fpeechet, writings, opinions, decla- a
rattons, addretres or petitions, tending to r
the enablilhment or propagation of these r
lyflems are crimes. F
All provocations and all measures tend
ing to the re-eftabtifiiffierit of rovalty, all '
ttifnhs on the exteria intignia of Hepubli- r
cam fin authorized by the law ; all dif b
eourfes, writings, petitions, addrefies or li
deliberations, tending to the fame end, are
entries. .
VI. In all circumflanees wherein facial '
order, liberty and tranquility, the fafetv f<
ol persons or property (hall be eudar.ger- d
td by revolts or seditious mobs, the legis
lative body rauft order that force be em- n

Witli regard to all citizens, without
f diftindlion, a punilhment cannot be
pronounced upon them, till after a legal
| jury has declared that the difeourfss,
writings, Opinions, addresses or petiti
ons, are made with an intention to pro
voke crimes, and afterwards that the
person accused is guilty «f it.
VIII, In what concerns the fuppliei
of the republic they can be granted but
to the truly indigent, laborious, tempe
rate, cecono'fnical and fponfible. They
ought to confill chiefly of fubfiftance,
and other things which natute calls for;
and for those wha are in a condition of
working, in opportunities and meant of
work.
Immoral men, indigent or not, and
those who being able to work, refufe to
do it, will receive no supply till the a
mendmentof their conduit, but what is
mod indispensably necessary for the sup
port of life. —.
Those who favor idleness and dbor
der, in giving supplies to m:n who have
nojtrne need or without manners, by
multiplying useless employs, or by plac
ing in them men who are not capable
to perform them, by difcourafcing la
hour, by treatment which is advanta
geous, and applied to pods which are
idle and unoccupied, hardly by any, will
be reputed, lavi/hers of the public funds, ,
and responsible for their application of
them.
Those who seek to petfuade the peo
ple that the citizens aught to be main- ,
tained at the expence of the republic, (
are the enemies of virtue, of labour and
of the country.
IX. Of what eoncerng the publie .
finances :— '
The (late is never ruined by indifpen-
Gble expenee, only by lapidation, ra- .
pine, cupidity, want of ceeonomy, or- ,
der, accoucubility and publicity, with
out sparing any necessary expences the (
fiuance9 ought to be submitted to the ,
moll severe (Economy.
None can create or multiply public t
employs or commilfions without the au- t
thority of the law and the commiflion- |
ers: deputies ought to be, without re
gard for falfe humanity, reduced te the £
number absolutely necessary, of men
endowed with probity, with difintercft. f
ednefs. with tindei Handing and fagaci-
ty, with a fufßcient and moderate sup
port. _ _ a
All citizens who have taken a part in
the administration, ought at all timet,
:to be ready to render an account of their n
\ P antJ present fortune. The public
contributions ought to be measured ; F
fixed and annual expenses of the repub- ?
lie controuled withont parsimony and t
with oeconot»iy. They ought to be in
proportion to the revenues which belong r
to those who are liable to contribution,
without charging any arbitrary Ax, /
and without failing in any of the engage- ■
ments which have been made under the
public faith* 11
I lie moll perfect order ought to ''
icign in the receipts and expenses of the
republic. The accountability ought to
be asclearas the day, and rendered pub- r
nc, as likewise the property of the ttate. '
J"ftice, much more than riches, makes ?
the lafety of the republic, and the true '
foundation of national credit and confi
dence. ' P
X. Provided, That the forced and "
momentary precautions, which the pub- P
lie fubfifletice may require in times of 3
a crisis, should always be made coriiill- a
cnt with rcfpeil for property, for jus *
tice, for prodnaions, and for industry : P
arts atid commcfce mull be perfectly "
i he encouragement of country pro
duce, of industry, and of commerce,
as well. as the happiness of the people, P
which is efTeptidily united to it, have
no other solid basis but this liberty, the *
emulation of Wefs, the public pro- cl
tection, rewards allowed for advanta- Cl
g l i°L. s^ nVfnt " ms ' a * w<ll as t,lc great w
eltabhlhments of genius, the nrmber * r
ot communications, the inviolable fafcty «1
jj
All corporations and coalitions, and L "'
♦TVi l L ati ? ns '. rot «prcfs?y au
thoriftd by the law, hereto citizens ti
)ii- of the fame condition or profeljion, are
e*> prohibited, as contrary to the prjuci-
P 1 " pies of liberty.
lnterefted afTociations, which tend
\ T -_ to the taking advantage of some com- j
, cr modity, or any attempts to get any
or commodity fold to them excluftvely, or
is in preference, to put an obstacle in the
way of the proprietor's sale of it, to
whom and as he pleases, to refufe, in
' combination, the circulating of their
~ commodities, or the benefit of their
i jr fcrvices, t• lower and raile the price,
of- to multiply the intermediary fellers be
tween the firft feller and the coulumer ;
:a_ to hinder the-.citizens from doing the
nr fame kind of work, all menaces, re
"e and violences tending to iueh
s » purpefes, Vre not commercial, but 'ma
a* rauding ; these are pnnifliable attempts
upon liberty and the public ilock. ,
ut XI. On what concerns manners, re
fpe6l for virtue, old age, infirmity, weak
al ness, for honell, laburious, temperate,
is, juJ (Economical poverty, mutual frater
;i" nity and well doing towards fuffeiing
3 " hnmanity, are the principles of
the prosperity of the Republic.
Citizens who have notoriously and
M publicly failed in these obligations;
1,1 those who would violate the rules of
f " temperance, wh.o ftould negletl, in the
T fight and knowledge of their fellow ci-
e .> tizens, the duties of a father, of a son,
r » or of a wife, thiife who Ihould be fur-
prised in the commifiion of any action,
3 ' contrary to delicacy, probity, or the
fentimeßti of h'iananity, ought to be
censured in legal assemblies.
0 Virtues and medcll talentt, Ihould be
declared by good citizeas, to be honor- ,
" ed, employed, recompensed ; and if
>- such as exhibit thero, are aflually in 1
want, they are to be fuppfied By the 1
r " republic.
There' can be no true patriotism
T without temperance, without manners,
without love of labour, humanity) pro- 1
e bity and disinterestedness.
'• Entire liberty will be granted to o- i \
'* pinions and religious prafticts ; abuses ',
which Ihould be contrary to. ike above i J
11 principles, will l>e infpedled and repress- ' 1
'» ed by the police. I .
The cerenjonies, titles, religious feafts '
and calenders of each kind of worlhip, j
'* will never make a part of public inftitu- j
tions, which will have nothing that is -
'■ common with the different mode* of j
■' worlhip. j ]
All citizens should treat one another '
8 at brothers, without regard to religious ; 1
opinions.
XII. The citizen# and constituted :
authorities ihould rule their condudl by j
this declaration of principles.
These principles, founded upon the i
eternal and unchangeable rule of natural ' -
morality, are forever immutable.
They will guide, invariably, the na
: tional reprefeßtatron in its decrees, and
the constituted authorities in their deli
berations.
The present declaration shall be read
every decade to the children in th«
1 primary schools. It flnil be read in
prefenc# of the citizens in every legal
assembly. It fliall remain polled up in 1
all places of the fittings of the legislative tl
bodies, adminillra?«rt, tribunals and "
legal assemblies. o
' The National Convention orders—■
That this declaration Oiall be printed
palled up, and sent to the admimllrati
-1 ons of the departments and diilntls,
[to municipalities, to the fe&Jpnf of
' Pari*, to the armies byjand and sea, in
order to be read there, publilhed and
solemnly proclaimed.
1. he National Convention decrees,
(with re-iterated applauses) that the 7
discourse and the project of the decree *
(hall be printed, diflributed, and sent '!
to the committee of fever).
Roux announces, that grain has a- g
gain been Hopped on its way to Paris,
and that the committee had taken mea- fl i
fures acordingly. Afterwards he
p ra * Isi
poses, and the assembly render*, the w
following decree :
Art. i. The representative cf the
people, Barras, is provisionally named
to be near the armed force destined to

with the fame powers as the other re- H
prefentatives of the people near the ar- i e

2. All the civil and military authori,
