Bonaparte's success gave to the Directory an unprecedented stability, and when, in the summer of 1797, the royalist and surviving Girondist opposition again met the government with resistance, Bonaparte sent General Augereau, a Jacobin, to repress their movement in the Coup of 18 Fructidor ( 4 September 1797 ).

Pache had twice been minister of war in the Girondist government ; but his incompetence had laid him open to strong criticism, and on 4 February 1793 he had been replaced as minister of war by a vote of the Convention.

Condorcet was quite independent, but still counted many friends in the Girondist party.

He presided over the Assembly as the Girondist held the majority, until it was replaced by the National Convention, elected in order to design a new constitution.

From that moment on, he was usually considered a Girondist.

He was murdered in his bathtub by Charlotte Corday, a Girondist sympathizer.

Clavière also published some pamphlets under his own name, and through these and his friendship with Jacques Pierre Brissot, whom he had met in London, he was Minister of Finance in the Girondist ministry, from March to 12 June 1792 ( as a suppleant member of the Legislative Assembly for Seine, and supported by Jacques Pierre Brissot ).

Jacques Pierre Brissot ( 15 January 1754 – 31 October 1793 ), who assumed the name of de Warville, was a leading member of the Girondist movement during the French Revolution.

On October 3 of the same year ( 11 Vendémiaire, year III ) a solemn fête in honour of the Girondist " martyrs of liberty " was celebrated in the Convention.

The case constructed against Brissot in this pamphlet was expanded and used to terrible and destructive effect in Desmoulins ' later, 1793 publication, Fragment de l ' histoire secrète de la Révolution ( also known as the Histoire des Brissotins ), in which the Girondist political faction, of which Brissot was a prominent member, was accused of traitorous and counter-revolutionary activities.

Fouquier de Tinville, like Maximilien Robespierre, was known for his ruthless radicalism, and he seldom failed to secure a conviction ; he acted as prosecutor in the trials of, among many others, Charlotte Corday, Marie Antoinette, the Girondist leadership, Antoine Barnave, Jacques Hébert and his supporters, as well as that of the Dantonists.

He was a supporter of Jacques Pierre Brissot and the Girondist faction.

The action of the great Girondist was followed by a similar verdict from nearly the whole party which he led.

His brother Joseph Servan de Gerbey ( 1741-1808 ) was war minister in the Girondist ministry of 1792.

Proscribed with the Girondists on 2 June 1793, he escaped, and took refuge to Calvados in Normandy, where he contributed to organize a Girondist insurrection against the Convention, which was suppressed soon after.

On 2 October he was arrested for Girondist sympathies but soon released, and he escaped further molestation owing to the friendship of Barras and, more especially, of Robespierre.

At the opening of the National Convention the Montagnard group comprised men of very diverse shades of opinion, and such cohesion as it subsequently acquired was due rather to the opposition of its leaders to the Girondist leaders than to any fundamental agreement in philosophy among the Montagnards ' own leaders.

Daunou took little part in the Girondist clash with The Mountain, but was involved in the events of his party's overthrow in the summer of 1793, and was imprisoned for almost a year.

:" In politics Daunou was a Girondist without combativeness ; a confirmed republican, who lent himself always to the policy of conciliation, but whose probity remained unchallenged.

He was a French Girondist and abolitionist during the French Revolution who controlled 7, 000 French troops in Saint-Domingue during part of the Haitian Revolution.

On 2 June 1793 the Girondists were displaced by the Jacobins and Matthews fell under suspicion for his Girondist associations and also because he was suspected of being a double agent.

The young Tallien, who was barely 24, became notorious for his administration of justice in Bordeaux through his bloody affinity to “ feed ‘ la sainte guillotine ’.” Tallien ’ s methodology of subjugation at Bordeaux has been described as “ fear and flour ”: the guillotining of Girondist leaders and exploitation of food shortages by withholding bread from the already-hungry province.

Later, in the events leading up to the Reign of Terror, he was arrested by Girondist supporters and was imprisoned in Caen for two months.

This encouraged the Jacobins to seize power through a parliamentary coup, backed up by force effected by mobilising public support against the Girondist faction, and by utilising the mob power of the Parisian sans-culottes.

He succeeded in escaping, first to Caen, where he organized the Girondist rebellion, then to Saint-Émilion near Bordeaux, where he wrote his Mémoires ( first published in 1822 by his son, and re-edited in 1866 ).

* June 2: Arrest of Girondist deputies to National Convention by Jacobins.

* October 24: Trial of the 21 Girondist deputies by the Revolutionary Tribunal.

The famous painting Death of Marat depicts the revenge killing of radical journalist ( and denouncer of the Girondists ) Jean-Paul Marat by Girondist sympathizer, Charlotte Corday.

The ominous threat by Girondist leader Maximin Isnard, uttered on 25 May, to " march France upon Paris " were instead met by Paris marching hastily upon the Convention.

The fateful list drawn up by Commandant-General of the Parisian National Guard, François Hanriot, ( with help from Marat ), and endorsed by a decree of the intimidated Convention, included 22 Girondist deputies and 10 of the 12 members of the Commission of Twelve, who were ordered to be detained at their lodgings " under the safeguard of the people ".

This " history ," produced in response to calls by Brissot and his followers for the dissolution of the Paris Commune and of the Jacobins, contributed to the arrest and execution of many Girondist leaders, including Brissot himself, in October 1793.

On 10 August ( the effective fall of the Monarchy ), Louvet became editor of the Journal des Débats, and, both as a journalist and deputy in the National Convention, made himself conspicuous by his attacks on Maximilien Robespierre, Jean-Paul Marat and the other Montagnards, whom he later claimed he would have succeeded in bringing to justice in after the September Massacres were it not for the poor support he received from the Girondist leaders.

* October 31: The 21 Girondist deputies guillotined.

The Girondist leader at last, on 31 December 1792, broke silence, delivering one of his greatest speeches.

After the arrest of the Girondist deputies on the 31 May 1793, there followed a series of insurrections within the French cities of Lyon, Avignon, Nîmes and Marseille.

He was one of those who protested against the readmission of Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai and other survivors of the Girondist party to the Convention in March 1795 ; and, when the populace invaded the legislature on the 1 Prairial Year III ( May 20, 1795 ) and compelled the deputies to legislate in accordance with their desires.

He then attached himself to the Girondist party and, on 15 March 1792, became the French minister of foreign affairs.

" His relationship with Dumouriez caused Couthon to briefly consider joining the Girondist faction of the Assembly, but after the Girondist electors of the Committee of the Constitution refused Couthon a seat on the Committee in October 1792, he would ultimately commit to the Montagnards and the inner group formed around Maximilien Robespierre-a man with whom he shared many opinions, especially on religious issues such as revolutionary dechristianization ( to which he was opposed-see Cult of the Supreme Being ) Couthon became an enthusiastic Montagnard supporter, often echoing their opinions.

Jean Nicolas Pache would be the first to submit a petition to the National Convention on 15 April 1793 for the totemic 22 Girondist leaders to be removed from office.

The committee, consisting of 25 members, proved unwieldy, and on 4 April, Isnard presented, on behalf of the Girondist majority, the report recommending a smaller committee of nine, which two days later was established as the Committee of Public Safety.

With the Girondist deputies he was brought before the revolutionary tribunal on the 30th of October, and was guillotined on the following day.

In July, he had refused to defend his fellow Normand and Girondist Charlotte Corday, the assassin of Marat, who wrote him a letter of reproach on her way to the guillotine.
