The Sian in tho Iron Slask The 14th of July will ever be a memor able day in French history, aa having wit neaaod, in 1789, the demolition by the Pa ris populace, of the grim old fortress identified with the despotism and cruelty of the falling monarchy. I; was a typical incident, representing, as it were, the end of a wicked system, but unfortunately not inaugurating the beginning cf the milder and better. Much heroism was Bhown by the multitude in their attack upon the Bastile, for the defenders did not really submit, and had a great advantage behind their lofty walls. Bat their triumph was sadly stained by the massacre of the Gov ernor, Delaunay, and many of his corps. "It was now," says Lamar Line, "that the mysteries of this State prison were unveiled—its bolts broken—its iron door 6 burst open—its dungeonß and subterranean cells penetrated— lrom the'- gates of the towers to their very deepest foundations and their summits. The iron rings and the chains, rusting in tpeir Btrong mason ry, were pointed out, from which the vic tims were never released, except to bo tortured, to be txecuted, or to die. On j those walls they read the names of prison ers, the dates of their confinement, their griefs and their prayers—miserable men, who had left behind only those poor me morials in their dungeons to attest their prolonged existence and their innocence ! It was surprising to find almost all these dungeons empty. The people ran from one to the other; they penetrated into the most eecreL recesses and caverns, to carry thither the word of release, and to bring a ray of the free light of heaven to eyes long lost to it; they tore the locks from the heavy doors, and those heavy doors from the htngee; they carried off the heavy keys; all these things were displayed in triumph in the open court. They then broke into the archives, and read the entries of com mittals. These papers, then ignominious ly scattered were afterwards collected. They were thn annals of arbitrary times, the recorda cf the f ears or vengeance of ministers, or ot the meaner intrigues of their fa.orites, here faithfully kepltojas tify a late exposure and reproach. The neople expected a spectre to come forth from these ruins, to testify against these iniquities of Kings. Toe Bastile, how ever, long cleared of all guilt by the gentle spirit of LonisiXVT. and bj the. 'IIS fldiii """'lbaoeliriiK .ngoone, tflaoelirlne iron collars, the chains were only worn on; symbols of antiqno secret incarceratiaDS, tortures, and burials aiire. They now represented only recollections of old horrors. These vaults restored to light but seven prison era —three of whom, gray headed men, were shot op legitimately, and whomfam ily motives had withdrawn from the judg* cnenta of the ordinary courts ol law. lav- ercierand Withe, two of them had be come insane. They saw the light of the sun with surprise; and their incurable insanity caused them to be sent to- the madhouse of Charenton, a few days after they had enjoyed fresh air and freedom. The third was the Count de Solages, thirty two years before sent to this prison at his father’s request-. When restored free to Toulouse, his home, he was rep ag nized by no one, and died in poverty. Whether he had been guilty of some crime, or was the victim of oppression, was an inexplicable enigma. The other four prisoners had been confined only four years, and on purely civil grounds. They had forged bills of exchange, and were arrested in Holland on the requisi tion of the bankers they had defrauded. A, royal commission had reported on their cases ; but nothing was now listened to against them. Whatever had been brand ed by absolute authority, must be inno cent in the eyes of a prejudiced people. These seven prisoners of the Bastile be came victims —released, caressed, even crowned with laurels, carried in triumph by their liberators like living spoil snatch ed from the bandß of tyranny, they were paraded about the streets, and their suf ferings avenged by the people’s shouts and tearß. Thb intoxication of the vie tors broke out against the very stones of the place, and the embrasures, torn from the towers, were soon hurled with indig nation into the ditches.” It was assarted at the time, and long afterwards believed—though there was uo fuiiudaiion lor tho averment—that the wasted body of the famous State prisoner, called the Man in the Iron Mask, had been found chained in a lower dungeon, with the awful mask still upon the victim’s skull! Speculations had long been rife among French historians, all tending to elucidate the mystery connected with that celebra ted prisoner. By some, it was hinted that he was the twin-brother of Lonis XIV,, thus frightfully sacrificed to make his senior safe on his throne; others affirm ed him to be the English Duke of Mam mouth, others a son of Oliver Cromwell; many, with more reason, inclining to think him a State prisoner of France, such as the Duke de Beaufort, or the Court de Vermandois. It was reserved for M. Delort, at a comparatively recent period, to penetrate the mystery, and enable the lata Lord Dover to' compile and publish, in 1826, his Trut History of the unfortuntae man; the facts being fathered from the State archives of 'ranoe. and documentary evidence of conclusive authority. It appears that this mysterious prisoner was Count Anthony Matthioli, Seoretary of State to Charles 111., Duke of Mantau, and aiterward to his son Ferdinand, whose debauched habits, and consequent need, laid him open to a bribe from Louis 2IV. for permission to place an army of occu pation in his territory, with a view to es tablish French influence in Italy. Hat thioli had expressed his readiness to aid the plot; had visited Paris, and had a se cret interview with the King, who pre sented him with a valuable ring and a considerable sum of money; but when the time came for vigorous action, Matthioli, who appears to have been intriguing with the Spanish court for a better bribe, placed all obstacles and delays in the way of France. The French envoy, the Baron Ashfeld, was arrested by the Span ish Governor of the Milanese, and the French court found that their diplomacy was betrayed. Louis determined to satisfy his wounded pride and frustrated ambi tion tay taking the most signal vengeance on Matthioli. The unfortunate Secretary was entrapped, at a secret interview on the frontier, and carried to the French garri son at Pignerol, afterwards to the Fortress of Exiles; when his jailor, St. Mare, was appointed Governor of the island of St. Marguerite (opposite Cannes,; he was immured in the Fortress there, and so remained for eleven years. In the autumn ESTABLISHED 1842. of IG9B, St. Mara was made Governor of the Bastile, and thither Matthiolio whs conveyed, dying within its gloomy walls on the 19 th of November, 1703. He hnd then been twenty-four years in this rigor* odb confinement, ana had reached the age ot sixty three. Throughout this long captivity, Loins never showed him any clemency. The ex* traord. nary precautions against bis discov ery* and the one which appears to have been afterwards resorted to, of obliging hioi to wear a mask during his journeys, or when he saw any one, are not wonder ful, when we reflect upon the violent breach of the law of nations which had been com mitted by his imprisonment. Matthioli, at the lime of his arrest, was actually the plenipotentiary of the Duke nf Mantua for concluding a treaty with the King of France; and tor that very sovereign to kidnap him, and confine him in a dungeon, was one of the mpst flagrant acts ot vio lence that coaid be committed; one which, if known, would have had the most inju rious effects upon the negotiations of Louie is with other sovereigns ; nay, would pro bably have indisposed other sovereigns from treatingtit all with him. The con finement of Matthioli is decidedly one of the deadliest stains that blot the character of Louia XIV. The prison of Matthioli, in the fortress of St. Marguerite, is bow for the first time, engraven from an original sketch. It is one of a series of five, built in a row on the scarp of the rocky cliff. The walls are fourteen feet thick ; there are three rows of strong iron gratings placed equi distant withiu window of Mat tbioh'e room, a large apartment with vault ed roof, and no feature to break its mon otony, except a small fireplace beside the window, and a tew shelves above it. The Bay of Cannes, and the beautiful range of the Esterel monotaiDs, may be seen from the window; a lovely view, that must have given but a maddening sense of confine ment to the solitary prisoner, Uis on record, that his mind was Beriously deran ged daring the early part of his imprison ment: what he became ultimately, when I all hope failed, and a long succession of years deadened his senses, none can know —the secret died with his jailors. There is a tradition that he attempted to make his captivity known, by scratch ing his melancholy tale on a medal dish and casting it from the window; that it was found by a fisherman of Cannes, who brought it to the Governor, St. Mara, thereby jeopardizing his own lifeor liberty, for he was at once imprisoned, and only liberated on incontestable proof being given of his inability to read. After this all fish ermen were prohibited from casting their nets within a mile of the ialand. Mat thioli was debarred, on pain of death, from speaking to any bat his jailer; he was conveyed from one dungeon to the other in a sedan chair, closely covered with oil cloth, into which he entered in his cell, where it was fastened so that no one hia jailers nearly smother ‘^Marguerite;, kind. Li been a popular mistake famed mask was of iron; that, in reality, it was formed of Velvet, strengthened by. bands ef whalebone, and secured by a pad lock behind the head. The same extraordinary precautions for concealment followed hie death that had awaited him in life. The walls of his dun geon were scraped to the stone, and the doors and windows burned, lest any in scription Bhoald betray the secret. His bedding, and all the furniture of the room, w ere blbo burned to cinders, then reduced to powder, and thrown into the drains; and all articles of metal melted into an indistinguishable mass. By this means it was hoped that oblivion might surely fol low one of the grossest acts of political cruelty in the dark record of history. & WIUtOH’S AWARDED THE HIGHEST PREMIUMS AT THS iTBESifiONiL EXHIBITION, LONDON, 186 S Industrial ExDOHition, Fans, 1861, In competition with all the leading Sewing M&* chines in Europe and America, and the United Siat« Agricultural Association; Metro politan Mechanics’lnstitute, Washington; Ffftnk* lin Institute, Philadelphia; Mechanics’ Associa tion, Boston; American Institute, New York; Maryland Institute, Baltimore; Mechanics’ As sociation, Cincinnati'; Kentucky institute, Loui*- viUo \ Mfohanlcs’ Institute, San Pranclwo; and at every State and County Fair Wlftoie Exhibited this Season. 125,000 OF THESE MACHISM Haw. already been Bold, A fact whioh speaks lender than words of the suooess and popularity of Wheeler A WU lon’a Family Sewing Mac&iite—the cheapest Machine in the world, BECAUSE EC IS THE BEST.
