Exert from The Paris:
My friends and brother the events of the past two days have been filled with violence.  The Sans-Culottes have used unacceptable tactics forcing people to side with them.  Violence leads to violence.  It is never acceptable.

They need to understand that they cannot stop the revolution, it is futile.  We are too many for them.  They seem to believe that they are exempt from the rules.  We need to root out all of these traitors and put them in jail, after of course a trial.  God condemns these men for their actions. 

We must continue to strive for peace were ever necessary, at any cost, except more violence.  One day this will be a reality, I’m sure of it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday we will achieve our goal.

I would also like to praise the brave work of the escorts of the men of the National Assembly, we realize there is only so much you can do in any give situation, and you went above what could be expected at the palace.

The members on the National Assembly cannot hide from these men, will not hide from these men.  We are stronger then those who would see the king remain in power.  We are a new breed of Frenchmen, a better breed.

We will not fail to achieve our goals, we cannot be stopped, God will keep us going,

Jean-Louis de la Rocque
