Excerpt from Historical and Literary Celebrities: Being Biographical Sketches Selected From Chamber's Paper for the People France was at this time a prey to all the horrors of civil war, as well as to the dangers of a foreign invasion. The principal cities Of the Republic had revolted against the central authority Of Paris and the bloody domina tion Of the Jacobins, and among the rest Marseilles was distinguished in the great federalist movement. But the reduction Of Lyons, and the ter rible vengeance inflicted on it, restored the supremacy of the redoubtable Committee Of Public Safety. Many thousands Of the inhabitants of Mar seilles fled in terror on the approach of the Jacobin forces, and sought protection in Toulon, which had not only cast Off the yoke Of the Convem tion, but called in the aid of the British and Spanish fleets to uphold the desperate cause Of royalty. In this general flight, however, the Buona partes did not participate, since they in truth belonged to the triumphant faction.
