So just to be clear: are you asking whether the Mérard de Saint-Just mentioned in this document is the same person as Louis Antoine Saint-Just?
If so, I'd have to say no. Saint-Just wasn't even in Paris in 1791, so even if he had briefly sided with the Feuillants (which, as far as I know, he did not), I don't think he would be writing to the Paris Jacobin Club for readmission.
Also, if you Google 'Mérard de Saint-Just,' this (http://www.forumrarebooks.com/Merard-Saint-Just-Fables-et.html) is one of the results that comes up. It says, in part: Simon Pierre Mérard de Saint-Just (1749-1812), was a rich French nobleman who wrote for pleasure and published his books in very limited editions.
So I'm guessing that this man, or maybe a relative of his, is the Saint-Just mentioned in the document.

Hope this helps!
