2874. FAMINE, Insurrection and.—

We
are in danger of hourly insurrection [in Paris] for want of bread; and an insurrection once
begun for that cause, may associate itself
with those discontented for other causes, and
produce incalculable events.—
To E. Rutledge. Washington ed. iii, 111.
(P. Sep. 1789)
