time in the Bicetre on an See also:accusation of corrupting the morals of his pupils, his real offence being the See also:writing of satirical See also:verse. These circumstances explain the violence of his See also:anti-monarchical sentiment. At the opening of the states-See also:general he began to publish the Courrier de Versailles a Paris et de Paris a Versailles, in which appeared on the 4th of See also:October 1789 the See also:account of the banquet of the royal bodyguard. Gorsas is said to have himself read it in public at the Palais Royal, and to have headed one of the columns that marched on Versailles.

On the loth of September 1792 he was elected to the See also:Convention for the See also:department of See also:Seine-et-See also:Oise, and on the loth of See also:January 1793 was elected one of its secretaries.

The See also:place was sacked, but Gorsas escaped the popular fury by See also:flight. The facts being reported to the Convention, little sympathy was shown to Gorsas, and a See also:resolution (which was evaded) was passed forbidding representatives to occupy themselves with journalism. On the 2nd of June he was ordered by the Convention to hold himself under See also:arrest with other members of his party. He escaped to See also:Normandy to join See also:Buzot, and after the defeat of the Girondists at Pacy-sur-See also:Eure he found shelter in See also:Brittany. He was imprudent enough to return to Paris in the autumn, where he was arrested on the 6th of October and guillotined the next See also:day.
