"VII. Those who received the republican constitution with coolness,
or who intimated their pretended apprehensions for its establishment

"X. Those who speak with contempt of the constituted authorities,
of the rigour of the laws, of the popular societies, and the
defenders of liberty.

Freloquets--Robinets, &c.
