the Kipghad entered it—thofehow
ever who had previously entered,
and gQt near enough to the fcaffold,
notwithstanding the indecent noise
of drums and trumpets, heard him
plainly pronounce these words—
:< Citizens, I forgive tuy enemies,
and I die innocent !"
Afier his death the liearelt spec
tators divided among thein what ot
his hair had been cut off by the
ftioke of the guilotine, and several
persons were so inhuman as to dip
their handkerchiefs in his blood,
which they afterwards carried a
bout,Tcrying—" Behold the blood
of a tyrant 1" _ ,
Louis, 011 mounting the Icattold,
jnrtantly took off his ttock himfelf,
as well as his great coat, and un- I
fall en ed* his shirt collar. His hair
had been clubbed up close like an
Abbess, that no indignity might be
offered him, or that it should occa
sion no delay by hanging
The executioner went np to tie his
arms, which the King recoiled at ;
but ic was soon done-—The execu
tioner then took up a large pair of
fciU'ars to cut off his hair. The
King appeared mortified at what
was doing, and said, " I have put
all right" —the executioner, how
ever, cut the hair off.
When the executioner fiiewed his
head to the people, cries of Vive la
Nation ■> five la Republic J were
heard on all fides, & several groups
made ute of the following exprel
fions—" VVe always wished Well to
him, but he never wished well to
ns!" Many, however, shewed e
-111 ot ions of a different natute, but
which they were obliged to conceal,
as much as possible, for their own
personal fafety.
His body was transported to the
parish church of La Magdelane,
where it was interred (without any
insult being offered to it) between
the persons who loft their lives dn
the illuminations on account
of his and the Swiss who
fell on the 10th of August.
Louis, before his departure from
the Temple, delivered to the Com
missioners of the Council General,
who were upon the gWHvJj ins ihi
ter wj]I f twn copics of which he
had written on the 2S'h of Decem
ber lafl—a copy of which I hope to
fe»d you-to-morrow. •
Three thonfand livres (1201. ster
ling) were found in his apartments
at the Temple, which were sent to
the Council General of the Com
mons.
The city remained quiet, in gloo
my silence, through the whole of
the dstf. In the morning the shops
were (hut, and no woman was al
lowed to be in the streets till the
procession returned with the body
of Louis.

The wretched Royal Family of
France have not been removed, as

In the preient situation of affairs, his Ma

opposing views of aggrandizemtfnt and ambi

at all times dangerous to the general inter
ests of Europe, but as peculiarly so when con
nected with the propagation of principles
which lead to the violation of the most sacred
duties, and are utterly subversive ol the peace
and order of civil society.
At Tunbridge Wells, on Friday,
it was thought right to tie a figure,
reprefeming the Writer of the
Rights of Man, to a cart's tail, and
flog hini through the town. In or
der to give the whipping fcerie a
better effetf, a man was concealed
in the cart, who bellowed out lofti
ly at every stroke, and well support
ed the characfieriftic obstinacy of
Paine ; for no f'mart, nor even the
promise of mercy, could extort from
him that ejaculation commonly used
by criminals under flagellation,
namely, " God save the King !"
The figure was afterwards burnt,
with the ceremony that has been
observed in other places.
A country carpenter, who ne
gledted the making a gibbet, which
