ANSWER
O/ Sixty Parishes ire Brit
tanny, encamped at Sorimieres,
to the Proclamation of tbe
Commissioners of tbe Conven
tion.
'' In the Name of the only true God
" whom you have abjured."
WE are forced co return an
, answer to yoyr third Proc
lamation, the only intention of
which like that of both the preced
ing, is a disarming, which good
sense and reason will not permit th
co comply with; nor fobmit t<
your laws, which we will never ac
knowledge, were we even to lose
the last drop of our blood. Your
sanguinary character, well known
Oy your massacres, with which you
have had the audacity to reproach
our Chiefs, d6es not permit us even
to doubt refpeding your deceitful
promises. Your inveterate decla
rations against our Chiefs merit on
ly the mast profound contempt.
Oar most ardent desire is to give
battle to your invincible army of
patriots ! Out fa est shield against
your armies is a God, the avenger
of crimes, Is is proved in different
attacks in which we have loft only
two men : aud instead of fearing
their fury, which, ycu fay, you are
unable to restrain, we defife that
ou may add to it your own per
sonal courage. We fee too well
to fufferourfelves to be seduced by
your deceitful speeches, of which
we have had more than one proofs
We have been neither a^eded not
intimidated by any of your threats.
The mafic is removed, the yoke it
Ihaken off, and even if it were not',
we should do it at present. We
adjure all fubmifiion to your laws .
and protection.
• " It is needless for you to make
any more mention of Diftrias, De
partments, or Municipalities the
armed force of which we are in no
dread of. After the abuse which
the firft Deputies made of our in
ftruiftions and petitions, so often
' r<j&aed as not being conformable
; to your laws, we declare in the face
of the universe that we, will ac
knowledge none of them, and that
we adopt only the ancient laws,
which we propose to re-eftablifti
by the (word, and the effufion of
democratic b'ood, if the Patriots
do not abjure their errors ; and,
as the firft proof of compliance
with opr wishes, begin by felting
at liberty our Clergy, and by con
curring to raise that throne which
you have overturned. You are
wrong if you think that the cause
of the Nobility is the only end of
the infurredion of the People; it is
their own cause which they defend
at present. Numberless a& of op
pression, the decrees of the Conftic
uent and Legislative Afftmblies,
and those of the Convention, have ,
forced them to take up arms, which
they are determined never to lay
down until you have dissipated their
fears by a proclamation. To ac
complish this, grant the prayer of
their petitions. Such it the will of
all the united parishes.
