To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were at thistime in extreme want of bread, the distribution not exceeding a quarterof a pound per day; and numbers who are at their ease in other respects, could not obtain any. This, operating perhaps with the latent ill humouroccasioned by so unwelcome a declaration of perseverance on the part oftheir Representatives, occasioned a violent ferment among the people, andon the second of this month they were in open revolt; the magazine ofcorn for the use of the army was besieged, the national... colours wereinsulted, and Blaux, a Deputy who is here on mission, was dragged fromthe Hotel de Ville, and obliged by the enraged populace to cry "Vive leRoi!" These disorders continued till the next day, but were at lengthappeased by a small distribution of flour from the magazine. In the debates of the Convention the whole is ascribed to the Jacobins, though it is well known they have no influence here; and I wish you toattend to this circumstance more particularly, as it proves whatartifices are used to conceal the real sentiments of the people.
