Louis XVI, for infidelity to the constitution. But on the loth of See also:June 1792, when the See also:crowd invaded the See also:palace, he was one of the deputies who went to See also:place themselves beside the king to protect him. After the loth of See also:August 1792 he was sent to the See also:army of the See also:North to justify the insurrection. Re-elected to the See also:Convention, he voted the See also:death of Louis XVI. and was a member of the Committee of See also:General See also:Defence when it was organized on the 4th of See also:January 1793. The committee, consisting of 25 members, proved unwieldy, and on the 4th of See also:April Isnard presented, on behalf of the Girondist See also:majority, the See also:report recommending a smaller committee of nine, which two days later was established as the Committee of Public Safety. On the 25th of May, Isnard was presiding at the Convention when a deputation of the See also:commune of See also:Paris came to demand that J. R. See also:Hebert should be set at See also:liberty, and he made the famous reply: " If by these insurrections, continually renewed, it should happen that the principle of See also:national See also:representation should suffer, I declare to you in the name of See also:France that soon See also:people will See also:search the See also:banks of the See also:Seine to see if Paris has ever existed." On the 2nd of June 1793 he offered his resignation as representative of the people, but was not comprised in' the See also:decree by which the Convention determined upon the See also:arrest of twenty-nine Girondists. On the 3rd of See also:October, however, his arrest was decreed along with that of several other Girondist deputies who had See also:left the Convention and were fomenting See also:civil See also:war in the departments. He escaped, and on the 8th of See also:March 1795 was recalled to the Convention, where he supported all the See also:measures of reaction. He was elected deputy for the Var to the See also:Council of Five See also:Hundred, where he played a very insignificant role. In 1797 he retired to Draguignan. In 1800 he published a pamphlet De l'immortalite de l'dme, in which he praised Catholicism; in 1804 Reflexions relatives an senatus-consulte du 28 floreal an XII., which is an enthusiastic See also:apology for the See also:Empire. Upon the restoration he professed such royalist sentiments that he was not disturbed, in spite of the See also:law of 1816 proscribing See also:regicide ex-members of the Convention.
