Summary Account of the dreadful Tumult and of the Proceedings of the National Afjembly. N the national affembly on the 9th, several members who had voted in favour of M. de la Fayette, complained of the ill eatment they had received from the mob on leaving the affembly. Meffrs. Mariere, Dumolard, Beaucaron, &c. narrowly escaped affaffination, They claimed protection; and the affembly with one accord fwere to enforce refpect towards the legislative body. The fitting of this day, appointed to difcufs the propriety of dethroning the king, ended with agreeing to an addrefs to the people on the best means of exercising the royal prerogative. This dilatory conduct of the ffembly refpecting the king's depofition, roufed the citizens of Paris to a pitch of fury little fhort of madness. Thursday night all the streets were illuminated, but nothing happened till Friday; on which day, very early in the morning, the tocfin (alarm bell) was founded, and the drums beat the generate in all parts of the city and fuburbs. The affembly were at their poft. When the attack began at the palace, the king, the queen, the dauphin, the princefs and madame Elizabeth, accompanied by the minifters, the members of the department and municipality, fled for protection to the national affembly; where, having feated himself by the fide of the prefident, the king addrefled himself to the affembly thus: "I am come here with a view to avo'd the commiffion of a capital crime; and, gentlemen, Ishall think myself fafe among you." It being obferved on both des, that the affembly could not deliberate in the prefence of the executive power, his majesty retired to his family at the bar, having folemnly declared, "he had given exprefs orders to the Swiss guards not to fire upon the people." In the interior part of the castle, the Swifs guards had been doubled; a great number of grenadiers entered it, in hopes of mecting with little or no refiftance. About two or three o'clock a number of patroles directed their course to the Thuileries. A falfe patrole was furprized in the Champs Elysées, part of whom were feized, and the reft fled; four of them had very sharp daggers, and piftols which discharged twelve balls at a time. These four, among whom were M. Suleau, a famous ariftocratical writer, and a priest, were put to death by the people, and their heads carried about on pikes. The gates of the arfenal had been opened; thither the people went, and furnished themselves with arms. About fix in the morning. they were in motion in all parts of the capital. Different detachments of national guards, citizens armed with pikes, the Marfeillois, federate Bretons, and others, drew themfelves up in order of battle in the Pla e de Caroufel. The Swifs falut. ed the citizens with their caps, crying vive la nation! and hook hands with the Marfeillois.. Hib. Mag. Sept. 1792. They then rushed into the Carousel, and, notwithstanding the heavy fire kep up by the Swifs from the grand staircase, penetrated as far as the terrace, on which the Swifs 1id down their arms; but a great number of Marseillois, federates, and citizens of Paris, having been killed, revenge actuated their companions, and they maffcred áll the Swifs they met; many, however, hid themfelves in the cellars, eighty were conducted by the national guard to the Town Hall, and endeavours were made to fave them, but in vain. Vengeance was the word, and they all fuffered. The cattle of the Thuilleries was in the power of the citizens; the buildings which, feparated the Place de Caroufel was already on fire. The furniture of the caftle was thrown out of the windows, and the windows all broken. Those, however, who were found purloining any of the effects, were taken to the Place de Vendome, and after a fort of trial, were immediately put tɔ death by the people. In the interim all the leffer buildings adjoining the Thuilleries were in a blaze. A number of citizens praded about with part of the bloody apparel of the Swifs on their p.kes and bayonets. About eight o'clock, the approach of night, the light of the flambeaus (almost extinguished) the fight of the dead and almost naked bodies of the Swifs, and the confufed cries of the multitude, filled the mind with horror and terror. The night, however, paffed very calmly; but M. Mandat, M. Carle, and many others, were put to death by the people. After the mob had got poffeffion of the palace, an immenfe crowd burft into the differen apartmen.s; fome of whom carries to the affembly the queen's jewels, valuable effects, money, and important paper. The furniture was taken to the Sections, and the papers were fent to the committee of fafety. The Atatues of Louis XIV. and XV. were deftroyed. The day was exceflively hot; and the mob regaled themfelves on the king's wine. They brought it out in immenfe quantities; and it was not uncommon to fee men and women, after their own draught, put the bottle to the mouth of the dead, lying in mangled heaps! with that spirit of furious port, which they have all along exhibired, crying, "Here, take your lat drink! drink to the nation!" During this tumult, while the noif of cannon was heard in the fembly, and feveral fhots even entered the window, the men.bers ftill continued their deliberations, the Jacobin party exclaiming, Liberty! Equality! and all rang their hands towards heaven, fwearing they would die to fave their country. It was obferved, that many members, either through fear, or fome other motive, were ablent; it was therefore confidered as of importance to make a call of the houfe, to determine who were Nn prei. |
