Text of the page (random words):
u before the assembly and obtained his acquittal following the majority of the assembly who sought to abolish slavery in the antilles he nevertheless took aim in a speech of 20 march at those hardline abolitionists like brissot who knew little of life in the colonies and of the risks of civil war given the diversity of ethnicities and social conflicts in saint domingue he supported the law of 4 april 1792 which granted citizenship to all coloured men and free negroes at the meeting of 10 april he declared himself in favour of the progressive abolition of the slave trade throughout the colonies following the examples of denmark and great britain on 3 may 1792 he supported the proposition of beugnot which provoked an accusatory decree from marat and the abbé royou and on 8 may at the assembly he addressed the jacobins in these terms you wish sirs to save the constitution and yet you cannot do so without beating down factions and the factious without setting everything besides the rule of law to one side without dying with the law and for the law and i declare that i shall not be the last who shall die with you in order to see it preserved believe it sirs 15 on 18 june he was elected a member of the commission des douze committee of twelve created by marat to examine the state of france and to propose means of preserving the constitution liberty and the empire he gave his resignation on 30 july the defence of la fayette edit following the events of 20 june 1792 la fayette arrived in paris on 28 june hoping to convince the king to leave in order to head the armies assembled in the north at the head of the national guard he tried to close down the political clubs but his attempt failed partly because of the court s refusal to support him in reaction to this the left wing of the assembly decided to charge lafayette with treason on 8 august 1792 ill at ease and shocked by the course of events vaublanc delivered a speech before the assembly in which he defended vigorously and courageously against the lively opposition of the jacobins who dominated the assembly and of the man in the street general la fayette who stood accused of violating the constitution he later claimed to have succeeded with the help of quatremère de quincy in rallying 200 undecided deputies to his position la fayette was acquitted by 406 votes out of 630 16 on departure vaublanc and about thirty other deputies were threatened insulted and jostled by the hostile crowd which had attended the debate some deputies even took refuge in the guardroom of the royal palace later exiting through the windows hippolyte taine wrote after the principal defender of la fayette m de vaublanc had been assaulted three times he took the precaution of not immediately returning home but the rabble besieged his house shouting that eighty citizens must die by their hands and that he should be the first twelve men climbed to his apartment ransacked it and continued the search in neighbouring houses hoping for members of his family if he himself could not be seized he was informed that if he returned to his domicile he would be slaughtered as a result on 9 august vaublanc asked for the removal of the fédérés and marseillais the request was rejected by a majority of the assembly 17 10 august edit on 10 august 1792 the day that marked the downfall of the legislative assembly and the monarchy at the hands of the paris commune he witnessed from his carriage the toppling of the statue of louis xiv in what is now the place vendôme he enjoined the assembly to leave paris for royalist rouen to escape the revolutionary pressures and he avoided an assassination attempt when he was narrowly saved from a sabre cut by a young officer of genius captain louis bertrand de sivray who was to make a name for himself as general he was one of the eyewitnesses of the arrival of the royal family who after the march on the tuileries placed themselves under the protection of the legislative assembly at the place du carrousel the incident is described in his memoirs 18 exiled during the convention and the reign of terror 1792 1795 edit the second volume of his memoirs provides insight into the general atmosphere at the time of the terror as felt by an aristocratic royalist who was at risk of being arrested at any moment and finishing up on the scaffold and yet
