The pillage recommended in February, in _L'Ami du Peuple_, with respect tosome dealers, "by way of example, " took place, and Marat was denounced tothe convention, who decreed his accusation after a stormy sitting. Butthis decree had no result, because the ordinary tribunals had noauthority. This double effort of force on one side, and weakness on theother, took place in the month of February. More decisive events soonbrought the Girondists to ruin. Hitherto, the military position of France had... been satisfactory. Dumouriezhad just crowned the brilliant campaign of Argonne by the conquest ofBelgium. After the retreat of the Prussians, he had repaired to Paris toconcert measures for the invasion of the Austrian Netherlands. Returningto the army on the 20th of October, 1792, he began the attack on the 28th. The plan attempted so inappropriately, with so little strength andsuccess, at the commencement of the war, was resumed and executed withsuperior means. Dumouriez, at the head of the army of Belgium, fortythousand strong, advanced from Valenciennes upon Mons, supported on theright by the army of the Ardennes, amounting to about sixteen thousandmen, under general Valence, who marched from Givet upon Namur; and on hisleft, by the army of the north, eighteen thousand strong, under generalLabourdonnaie, who advanced from Lille upon Tournai.
