March 5 - At the Theatre Italien, a Jacobin cabal, all wearing red bonnets with the point forward, makes so much noise that Le Suboneur cannot be completed and the performance is halted after the fourth scene. The reason given for the demonstration: the author was an aristocrat.

May - Sub-Lieutenant Donatien-Claude-Armand de Sade, aide-de-camp of the Marquis de Toulongeon, deserts.

August 18 - Sade solemnly disavows his sons' emigration, a necessary step taken to save himself, the Republic having issued a decree making parents responsible for the actions of their children.

September 3 - During the massacres, Sade is for the first time the secretary of his section.

September 17-21 - A crowd of people from La Coste - men, women and children - force their way into the chateau and ransack it, destroying or carting away most of the furniture. The municipal guard is helpless to cope with the mob, but the municipality does its best to save what remains of Sade's furniture and effects and has them housed in the vicarage, until they are carted away a week later by two bailiffs from Apt who arrive with a requisition order and abuse their limited authority to load all pieces of value onto four wagons, over the protests of the La Coste municipal council.

October 17 - Sade is a soldier in the 8th Company of the Piques Section and commissaire for the organization of the calvary in that section.

October - Sade in possession of the first copies of his political pamphlet Idees sur le mode de la sanction des Loix, which is published by his own section and sent to the other forty-seven sections of Paris for their study and opinion.

November 4 - Sade is called by the Piques Section to do twenty-four hours' guard duty commencing at 9:00 a.m.

December 13 - Under the name Louis-Alphonse-Donatien Sade, the Marquis' name is entered - whether by error or willful malice - on the list of emigres of the Bouches-du-Rhone department.
