Reports from the French Convention describe General Dumourier's defection and bold plans as he denounces Jacobins and seeks royalist alliances. Commissioners at Tournay confront his ambitions while Dumourier vows to retreat no longer, threatening Paris with a royalist push amid a widening political crisis.
A March 26 session of the Jacobins debated appointing Commissioners from its members to accompany Convention delegates into the Departments. Marat urged sending trusted emissaries to sway public opinion while admitting finances were troubled. The club denounced disorganizers in the army and called for rigorous action, including insurrectionary talk and heightened security measures. The following days featured threats against rivals and further calls for war and purges, with Dumourier blamed for misfortunes and Robespierre urging decisive steps. A letter from Dumourier to War Ministers described battlefield losses near Namur and Namur setbacks, noting heavy casualties, disorganization, and a demand for a court martial or sacrifice of officers.
A Dublin March 26 report recounts a brutal Ballymore murder near Sligo. A travelling pair were robbed and a woman severely beaten with a spade shaft after the killer shot the man, leaving neighbours to relay the atrocity as Ballymore weavers pursue the criminals. The piece also notes political talk on Lord Rawopone’s Bill affecting arrests, writs, and credit.
