First edition of this speech delivered by Philippe-Antoine Merlin, elected representative from Douai, to the National Convention assembly. Handsome copy presented in its original wrappers of this report made the day after the royalist insurrection and which names the generals who crushed it with, in first place, the people's representative Barras designated general-in-chief of the army of the interior while omitting and ignoring any mention of Bonaparte. The role of Bonaparte, soon nicknamed "General Vendémiaire", would only be recognized later in a report of 30 Vendémiaire by Barras himself who attributed all the merits of suppressing the uprising to himself and who cited "Buonaparte" only as "second in command".
