beaten to call together the band known here as the Coadjutors of the
Revolution。 On the morning of November 2； when the deputies went to
the Assembly； they found the cathedral square and all the avenues to
the archbishop's palace； where the sessions were held； filled with an
innumerable crowd of people。 This army was composed of from 20；000 to
25；000 men； of which the greater number had no shoes or stockings；
woollen caps and rags formed their uniform and they had clubs instead
of guns。 They overwhelmed the ecclesiastical deputies with insults； as
they passed on their way； and shouted that they would massacre without
mercy all who would not vote for stripping the clergy。 。 。 Near 300
deputies who were opposed to the motion did not dare attend the
Assembly。 。 。 The rush of ruffians in the vicinity of the hall； their
comments and threats； excited fears of this atrocious project
