Accusation against Brissot and allies in the National Convention
The document accuses Brissot of police ties under the old regime and of betraying Liberty. It charges him with aiding La Fayette, praising the Jacobins to justify war, and colluding with Condorcet and the Girondins to mislead the people while protecting traitorous ministers. It asserts patriots were calumniated and Paris volunteers faced massacres.
