[ Ibid., 26. "The chief of the émigré bureau in the police department (May 9, 1805) enumerates about two hundred thousand persons reached, or affected, by the laws concerning emigration."—Lally-Tolendal, "Défense des Emigrés," (2nd part, p. 62 and passim). Several thousand persons inscribed as émigrés did not leave France. The local administration recorded them on its lists either because they lived in another department, and could not obtain the numerous certificates exacted by the law in proof of residence, or because those who made up the lists treated these certificates with contempt. It was found convenient to manufacture an émigré in order to confiscate his possessions legally, and even to guillotine him, not less legally, as a returned émigré.—Message of the Directory to the "Five Hundred," Ventôse 3, year V.: "According to a rough estimate, obtained at the Ministry of Finances, the number enrolled on the general list of émigres amounts to over one hundred and twenty thousand; and, again, the lists from some of the departments have not come in."—Lafayette, "Mémoires," vol. II., 181. (Letters to M. de Maubourg, Oct. 17, 1799 (noté) Oct. 19, 1800.) According to the report of the Minister of Police, the list of émigrés, in nine vols., still embraced one hundred and forty-five thousand persons, notwithstanding that thirteen thousand were struck off by the Directory, and twelve hundred by the consular government.]

"Several, to whom I have spoken, literally made the tour of France in various disguises, without having been able to find an outlet; it was only after a series of romantic adventures that they finally succeeded in gaining the Swiss frontier, the only one at all accessible."—Sauzay, V., 210, 220, 226, 276.

[ Ibid., vols. IV., V., VI., VII. (On the banished priests remaining and still continuing their ministrations, and on those who returned to resume them.)—To obtain an idea of the situation of the emigrés and their relations and friends, it is necessary to read the law of Sep.15, 1794 (Brumaire 25, year III.), which renews and generalizes previous laws; children of fourteen years and ten years are affected by it. It was with the greatest difficulty, even if one did not leave France, that a person could prove that he had not emigrated.]
