What a fpctfacle was Paris, and especially
the place of action, on the evening of the loth
j of Auguit ! Labour and trade were interrupt
ed, the wo'rklbop and the counter deferred —
Amid apparent disorder, there was aftrong mix
ture it' ifrmternity, -
geaaoe, i.eneioijty, and barbarity ! Evtrv tircet
in arms, yet no outrage committed in the {beet;.
Bui 1 , aln ! the citi zen was grievouHy and too
otteu afflicted at the fight of patriots d>ing or
wounded, borne home by their comrades, and
followed bv their weeping family. Every eye,
every itep was directed to the palace which sent
forth volumes of 'moke. TheCarouzel appear
ed to be avail burning furnace. In order to
enter the palace it was neceftary to cross two at
its wings, which were reeking in their embers,
and to trample either on burning beams, or o»
bodies not yet cold. The court of the prince
was but another afpeft of the lame picture ; it
presented the ficadeof the palace battered fror
top to bottom by the national cannon, some of
which (fill eemcd to threaten the too long
abode of Roval vice. Here too the dead lay
ft re wed. But how describe the vestibule, the
flaii-caf'e, the chapel, and the apartments ? It
was ho: ror not to be exceeded. Yet even thi*
io ror might be endured, by recollecting who
had been their inhabitants. The walls and
loors were stained with blood, covered with
hioker weapons, and the limbs of nijpi, min-'e ■!
with torn garments, royal rohes, velvets Work
ed in gold with fleur-de-lis, furniture broken,
'nattered V3les, bottles diltributed to the met
cenary executioners of the despot, and dead bo
dies at every step !
J he palace gate leading to the terrace was
' °bftrufted by heap? of dead, almoil naked, and
as if still biting the dust, tlieir hahds gra'ped in
age to have fallen by the sword of the people.
Every alley of that noble garden, the admira
tion ol foreigners, and the pride of nature ard
of art, presented nothing but more dead and
more; some under the trees, feme extended]
beneath the llatues, and others strewed over
with graft and the flowers of the garden ; and
to give the last touch to this fearful scene, the
wooden barracks Of the Swift ail on fire, and
tle flames lighting thole who were losdinr nu
merous carriages brought to take away tbe
dead from the Place de Louis XV. By the fide
