PARIS, September 7.
AT three o'clock in the afternoon
of the fatal 2d of September, the
sanguinary mob reached the Temple,
where they were met by two of the
commifliuners from the National Af
fenibly. It was with great difficulty
they could be restrained from fur
ther aJis of violence ; they demand
ed the head of the Queen ; the cotn
niiflioners therefore to prevent a
greater mifchief, found it neceflary
to accompany them to the tower of
the Temple, one of their leaders car
rying on a pole the head of theprin
cefs de Lamballe.
The coinmillioners, attended by an
officer nf the National Guard, and
M. Palloi, the manager of the works
round the Temple", undertook to in
form th-e King and Queen of what
was traiifacting, and Thar the people
infilled on their viewing jfofara
cle they had brought. Trie heaJtfTi
the unfortunate vitftim was difplayedl
on their Majesties presenting them
selves at a window. The Queen, and
her daughter Madame Elizabeth, ac
cording to the report ofa violent Paris
print, displayed, for the firft time,
some fcnfibility ; and the King, who
obeyed without any hesitation, said
to one of thecommifiioners— Sir. you
are right.
[We have noticed this remark, in
order ro (he - he base calumnies thai
are propagated concerning these Au
gust Personages. ]
When the mob went to the prison
de la Force, where the royal atten
dants were chiefly confined, the prin
cess de Laniballc went down on her
knees to implore a (ufpenfion of her
late for 24 hours. This was at firft
granted, until a second mob more fe
rocious than the firft, forced her
apartments, and decapitated her
The circumstances which attended
lier death were Inch as makes huma

death, the <nob offered her every in

and her bowels and heart torn from

body was dragged through the
