"No Bourbons! No kings! No Regency! Death death to all kings! La République! La République! La République!" At times, in terrific concert, would the thousands of uplifted throats roar forth the chorus of that startling canticle of '92: "Vive la république! Vive la république! Debout, peuple Français! debout, peuple héroïque! Debout, peuple Français! Vive la république!"
The French were also helped by the admiral's power to detain the two hundred merchant-ships, the "West India trade," awaiting convoy at Cap Français, where they remained from July till November, when the close of operations left him at liberty to convoy them with ships-of-war.
This amused me much on account of the comical scenes of which I was often a witness. Besides the young officers of Bonaparte's staff, his most frequent guests, he had also frequently at his table the ventriloquist Thiemet, Dugazon, Dazincourt, and Michau of the Theatre Francais, and a few other persons, whose names escape me at this moment.
The amusements of youth had to be abandoned, for not even pugilism needs more staying-power than the labors of the pale-faced student of the Latin Quarter in the haunts of Montparnasse or Montmartre, where one must feel no fatigue at two o'clock in the morning in a beer- garden even after four hours of Mounet Sully at the Theatre Francais.

The same is in the main true of 'Le Monde, by La Croix, 'Le Journal du Peuple, by Dubose, 'Le Courier Français, by Chatelain, 'La Commerce, by Bert, 'La Minerve, by Lemaine, 'La Presse, by Girardin, and all the journals in Paris which diffuse true ideas upon labor and the rights of the people, be they in other respects what they may.

Beaumarchais had made them enter into the spirit of his characters, and they determined to enjoy at least one performance of this so-called chef d'oeuvre.
When, overcome with fatigue, I have found myself in the rear of the colors, and when the musketry was rattling in the front ranks, many a time I heard a voice, which whispered in my ear, 'Leave the others to fight, and for today take care of your own hide! But then, that word Francais! murmured within me, and I pressed forward to help my comrades.
Before entering his carriage, the First Consul made a present to Monseigneur, the archbishop, of a snuff-box with his portrait, and also gave one to the mayor, on which was the inscription, 'Peuple Francais'. We stopped at Caudebec for breakfast.
