FRENCH LEGISLATURE
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED
25 Messidor, July 13.
The discussion upon liberty of worship was resumed. Jourdan (des Bouches du Rhone) voted for the project of Camille Jourdan with several amendments. Ramponillon endeavoured to refute the reasonings of Boissy d'Anglas, by quoting the last part of a speech which he pronounced to the convention, in which he used this expression: 'The catholic religion sells very dearly the consolation which it gives the unfortunate.' He painted the disasters of La Vendee, and the vengeance employed by the priests and fanatics. Policy, the repose of humanity, and the good of the state, said he, oppose a dispensation from the oath, and the privilege of bells. The discussion was adjourned.
26 Messidor, July 14.
Jean Debry, in a motion of order, moved that for the purpose of formally contradicting those who wished to counteract the revolution, and of uniting the minds of those who have been long divided, the return of the 14th of July, this first epoch of the French revolution, be consecrated by a solemn declaration, that the French citizens who overthrew the Bastile in 1789, have deserved well of their country. Adopted.
Jouannet. You cannot celebrate the anniversary of the 14th of July, in the way that it ought to be, without giving liberty to the ecclesiastics in confinement or banishment. I move that the project of Dubruiel be adopted.
A discussion took place on this motion, which was supported by Royer-Collard and Pastoret, and opposed by Thibaudeau and Percy.
