LAW OF 1793
APPROPRIATE TO MODERN FRANCE. “Defense de la France,” a clandestine paper, of which a copy has recently reached England, has discovered the text of a law, dated September 7, 1793, providing for dealing with traitors. It was passed by the Convention Nationale during the French Revolution. “Decree of September 7, 1793, second year of the French Republic, one and indivisible. The Convention Nationale decrees the following: Article 1. All Frenchmen who have accepted or shall accept hereafter public functions in the parts of the territory of the Republic invaded by the enemy are declared traitors to their country and are outlawed. Article 2. All the property of persons mentioned in the preceding article shall be confiscated for the benefit of the Republic.”
