The Fourth Day — The Victory Chapter 7

The Other List

Opposite to the list of adherents¹ should be placed the list of the proscribed². In this manner the two sides of the coup³ d’état can be seen at a glance.

“DECREE.

“Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, at the Cabinet Council assembled,
January 9th, 1852.

“LOUIS BONAPARTE.

“DE MORNY, Minister of the Interior.”

There was besides a list of the “provisionally exiled,” on which figured Edward Quinet, Victor Chauffour, General Laidet, Pascal Duprat, Versigny, Antony Thouret, Thiers, Girardin, and Rémusat. Four Representatives, Mathé, Greppo, Marc–Dufraisse, and Richardet, were added to the list of the “expelled.” Representative Miot was reserved for the tortures of the casemates of Africa. Thus in addition to the massacres⁴, the victory of the coup d’état was paid for by these figures: eighty-eight Representatives proscribed, one killed.

I usually dined at Brussels in a café, called the Café des Mille Colonnes, which was frequented by the exiles. On the 10th of January I had invited Michel de Bourges to lunch, and we were sitting at the same table. The waiter brought me the Moniteur Fran?ais; I glanced over it.

“Ah,” said I, “here is the list of the proscribed.” I ran my eye over it, and I said to Michel de Bourges, “I have a piece of bad news to tell you.” Michel de Bourges turned pale. I added, “You are not on the list.” His face brightened.

Michel de Bourges, so dauntless in the face of death, was faint-hearted in the face of exile.
