was elected by the Commune and two days later appointed by Jean Bouchotte permanent commander of the armed forces of Paris. On 4 September, the sans-culottes again invaded the convention. Supported by Hanriot they demanded tougher measures against rising prices and the setting up of a system of terror to root out the counter-revolution. On 11 September the power of the Committee of Public Safety was extended for one month; Robespierre supported Hanriot in the Jacobin club who led the insurrection in 2 June. On 19 September the Convention supported his appointment as general of the Parisian National Guard (in the meantime 130.000 men). Hanriot moved into an apartment on the third floor of the Hôtel de Ville, Paris, with busts of Brutus, Marat and Rousseau. He hires seats in Théâtre de la République and Opera-Comique.

Laurent Lecointre was the instigator of the coup, assisted by Barère, Fréron, Barras, Tallien, Thuriot, Courtois, Rovère, Garnier de l’Aube and Guffroy.
