Late in 1791 another mutiny broke out, in the Picardy regiment, then stationed at Saarlouis, with soldiers demanding their back pay. Gasparin pledged his personal fortune with Jewish money-lenders to raise the necessary funds and calm the revolt.[1]National Legislative Assembly[edit]Gasparin was elected from Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne to the National Legislative Assembly on 5 September 1791 with 397 votes out of 552.[2] He arrived in Paris on 3 October, where he joined the Jacobin Club. On 14 October he was appointed to the Committee for Military Law and Regulations. He also opposed Brissot and the Girondins on the topic of war with Austria. At the Jacobin Club and in the National Assembly he denounced what he called their campaign of panic and lies.\u201d On 10 August he was made Commissar of the Army of the Midi with Lacombe-Saint Michel and Rouyer.The Convention[edit]Gasparin stood for election from the Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne for the new Convention and was elected with 716 votes out of 728. On 26 September 1792, his continuing position on the War Committee was confirmed, and soon afterwards he left for the Dauphin\u00e9 with his colleagues to visit the encampment of de Montesquiou-F\u00e9zensac. The general was subsequently accused, on 9 November, of having negotiated a compromise with the Republic of Geneva instead of occupying the city. Gasparin, Dubois-Cranc\u00e9 and Lacombe Saint-Etienne were ordered by the Convention to dismiss him.[2]On 3 January 1793, he made a speech in the Convention denouncing the leading Girondins, Guadet, Gensonn\u00e9 and Vergniaud for treason by dealing secretly with the king in July 1792, using the painter Joseph Boze as an intermediary.[3] During the same session, the monarchist Lanjuinais demanded that Gasparin himself be arrested for treason, but nothing came of his initiative.[4][5]During the roll-call vote on the sentencing of Louis XVI on 14 January 1793, he voted for death, against a referendum on the sentence, and against reprieve.[6]Between January and March he worked with his colleagues on the War Committee on the means of building a more professional army to defend the Republic.On 4 April 1793 he was sent to the Armies of the North and of the Ardennes. He was there when Charles Fran\u00e7ois Dumouriez went over to the Austrians with the young duc de Chartres, son of Louis Philippe d’Orl\u00e9ans, and took all necessary measures to respond to the gravity of the defection.[2]On 15 May, he was named adjutant general by the Provisional Executive Council. His fellow-deput\u00e9 for Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne, the Girondin Barbaroux, attacked him for this appointment.[7] In response Gasparin wrote from Lille to both the Committee of Public Safety and the Convention, summarising his loyal work as repr\u00e9sentant en mission and his military achievements.Committee of Public Safety[edit]Together with Jeanbon Saint Andr\u00e9 he joined the Committee of Public Safety on 13 June 1793, replacing Robert Lindet and Jean-Baptiste Treilhard. On 16 June, before leaving for the Vend\u00e9e, he proposed a decree imposing the death penalty for French citizens and foreigners alike found guilty of spying in war zones or in the armies, which was adopted by the Convention.[8] In the Vend\u00e9e, he drew up a report on the military situation and returned to Paris. During the voting on 10 July to determine who should next serve on the Committee, Gasparin was retained – the sole career soldier on it at that time – even though under Danton’s leadership, its conduct of the war was heavily criticised.Gasparin had mixed views about the case of general Custine,[9] supporting him because of the need for proper organisation in the army and the lack of superior officers; but nevertheless not disagreeing with the Committee’s arrest of Custine on 2 July. The following day however he resigned, mentioning that he had very serious health problems – earlier in the year he had been obliged to give up his mission to the Army of the North because of a severe case of swollen glands and pain in his sides. Maximilien Robespierre replaced him on the committee.Gasparin was next sent first to the army of the Alps and then to Marseille, from where he went on to Toulon. His exemplary conduct during the siege of Toulon played an important part in recovering the town from the British.At Aix-en-Provence, he met the young officer Napoleon Bonaparte, introduced to him by Augustin Robespierre and Christophe Saliceti. Napoleon read aloud to them from his pamphlet \u201dLe souper de Beaucaire\u201d and the representatives of the Convention decided to have it printed at Valence at public expense.[10] In a letter to the Committee of Public Safety, Gasparin and Saliceti recommended Bonaparte to replace the artillery commander Elz\u00e9ar Auguste Cousin de Dommartin, who had been wounded in combat at the  Ollioules gorges. Their recommendation was accepted.[11][12]Fighting at Toulon was fierce and Gasparin took part in the assaults, being one of the first to enter the great bastion. The Committee of Public Safety recognised his efforts and, in the light of his continuing ill health, sent Barras and Fr\u00e9ron to support him and Saliceti. On 15 Brumaire Year II (5 November 1793), he sent a letter to the Convention conveying his confident expectation of the fall of Toulon. This was to be his last letter and he did not live to see the city retaken. He caught pneumonia and was taken to his family in Orange. He died on 17 Brumaire Year II (7 November 1793).[13]On Saint Helena, Napoleon later bequeathed a sum of one hundred thousand francs to Gasparin’s heirs, because he had, Napoleon said in his will, \u201cthrough his protection, sheltered me from the persecutions of the ignorance of staff officers who commanded the army of Toulon before Dugommier arrived.\u201d[14]He was buried in the Protestant cemetery in the rue Saint-Cl\u00e9ment in Orange. An initiative to place his heart in the Panth\u00e9on, adopted by the Convention, was never carried out.[15][16]Gasparin married Marie-Anne Marguerite de Serres. Both his son Adrien de Gasparin and his grandson Ag\u00e9nor de Gasparin were important public figures in French political life.[17]References[edit]^ a b Encyclop\u00e9die des gens du monde: r\u00e9pertoire universel des sciences, des lettres et des arts; avec des notices sur les principales familles historiques et sur les personnages c\u00e9l\u00e8bres, morts et vivans.
