Immediately after Mirabeau's death (April, 1791) Danton's plans are apparent, and his initiative is of the highest importance.] [Footnote 3167: "The Revolution," II., 238 (Note) and 283 .-- Garat, 309: "After the 20th of June everybody made mischief at the chateau; the power of which was daily increasing.

Danton arranged the 10th of August and the chateau was thunderstruck."-- Robinet: "Le Proces des Dantonistes," 224, 229.

("Journal de la Societe des amis de la Constitution," No.

214, June 5, 1792.) Danton proposes "the law of Valerius Publicola, passed in Rome after the expulsion of the Tarquins, permitting every citizen to kill any man convicted of having expressed opinions opposed to the law of the State, except in case of proof of the crime." (Ibid., Nos.

230 and 231, July 13, 1792.) Danton induces the federals present "to swear that they will not leave the capital until liberty is established, and before the will of the department is made known on the fate of the executive power." Such are the principles and the instruments, of "August 10th" and "September 2nd."] [Footnote 3168: Garat, 314.
