Note 8 — Chapter 35 THE HONEYMOON OF THE REPUBLIC The Englishman in the Fur-Jacket—The Duc de Noailles—Freedom and her Bust in Marseilles—The Abbé Sibour and the Universal Republic in Avignon
Constance Garnett translation

They were attacked by soldiers and National Guards; eleven were killed and many wounded.—(Translator’s Notes.)
