Greetings
Robepierre’s time as supreme leader (1791-1794) is known as the “Republic of Virtue” in English:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Virtue
I would have thought that the French would simply be “la République de la vertu”, but there seems to be no corresponding Wiki entry, so I would like to find exactly how you refer to this period in France.
Best wishes, and many thanks,
Simon
PS It's certainly a term with great resonance – here in Turkey I recently saw a slogan, “Cumhuriyet fazilettir.” (The Republic is Virtue.).

République de la vertu
Google donne plus d'occurrences pour "Robespierre "république de la vertu"" que "Robespierre "république vertueuse"", donc je vous le soumets. L'expression est extraite de son discours du 5 février 1794, connu sous le nom de la date.

Le règne de Robespierre - see below
In France, we do not refer to this period as the English do. The distinctions are as follow:
1791-1792 l'Assemblée législative
1792-1795 la Convention
1793-1794 la Terreur
The "Republic of Vitrue" is a term issued from two of Robespierre speeches which took place in 1973 and 1974.
So to refer to the period between 1791 and 1794, there will not be a precise French term.
A solution may be to refer to this period as
Le règne de Robespierre
as it has been refered to in the book "Tableau des prisons de Paris sous le règne de Robespierre" published in 1795.

Robespierre, lui, parlait de "République vertueuse"... mais bon.
