ihe King caused to be murdered on the

Her majesty was so enraged at the lo.'-s

the members of the Cabfnei, the nobility,

The King alone escaped, but ht3 where
abouts was not known. A single -nobleman
only was saved, nnd the Q.necn ap

In the mean time, however, the o facers
of the regiment are suffering greatly; and
