Soubrany said " Let mt die." When arrived

Bourbotte who fufered the last, gave in that
r extreme moment a new proof of fh* coutuge which
had not abandoned him during the whole course
, of hi, trial. While they were tying him to the
plank, he talked to the people around the fcaffold.
At the instant he wa» levelled to receive the fatal
Hroke, it was perceived that the axe had not b«en
remounted; he was accordingly turned over, to
raise the inllrument, and he employed that fliort
time in yet speaking to those abound him. He said
he died innoceat and wished the republic ipight
prosper.
The condemned were escorted by a regiment
of cavalry. One battalion ofinfan'ry wa, placed
in observation in the ElvCan field,, and another on
