マクシミリアン・ロベスピエール
Maximilien de Robespierre fell on 28 July 1794 and so Terror ended and the "Convention nationale" became more flexible and open to negotiation. The "Agence royaliste de Paris" asked the Chouans in the name of Louis XVIII of France, then count of Provence, to stop fighting. On 26 December, Brigadier General Jean Humbert and the Chouan chief Boishardy met to discuss peace options. Puisaye tried to organise a landing from London, and his lieutenant, Cormatin, assumed full command and negotiated the peace treaty of La Mabilais in April 1795. He was followed by a few local leaders. Of the 121 leaders attending, only 21, including de Silz and Boishardy, signed the treaty.
