They promised : Madame went away, her heart rent at the scene which IY? 114 d witnessed. . " tint this was nothing : the visit , to the second barrack was much more painful. The spirit of re. ,heaved itself a thousand times more, and it.was rill inoie uselessly that Madame attempted to bring liera back to the path of honour. In spite of the ale. success which her Royal Highness could hope 7oni a third attempt with such.troops, she wished to neglect nothing ; and it was at the castle Trmnpette that the last efforts of her heroic courage were car iLd to the highest poiat. Wain a reception was there prepared for the august daughter of so many Kings !, In my bfe 1 shall never forget it, so much lid I suffer from it. After having passed the dark raults. of this strong castle, picture to yourself the d'ail which struck us on our entrance into thht )4track, transformed into a true resort of brigands. —The ferocious air, the coonseuance sullen and 'sembliiig with rage as at the moment of seizing their such we foeid this mutinous soldiery ranged .ender arms.

At any other time they would have beets melted with it— L.tt to what an excess of delusign must they have 'run driven, when they seemed. to redouble their rage, it hearing language so noble and so tot:a:hie. The to t:.e emotion of Madame increased, the greater 'oceanic her eltiqoence : tears inundated he visage : ;" Bb, what !

At the bare re: colliction of such insolence, ail my blood still boils : never did I experience such a feeling of indignation.' Madame gave the signal to depart : a rolling of the drum was heard, and we repassed under the batt ries. of. this gloomy fiirtress, our hearts still more tom than when we entered. 44 TAweeten the bitterness of this painful cup, it appeared that Mad me had reserved for the end ot her course, the review which she proposed to take of that faithful National Guard which was drawn to on the superb quay which extends along the banks of the Garonne. A very different scene from that she had Jest witnessed then awaited her. As soon as she vowed, a general cry of Vivi /e Roil Viet Mad.ret: ! was heard. At sight of the profound grief spread *Ter Tier visage, their attachment for her was redoubled, and they expressed it with transport. She had much difficulty in making herself heard in the mids't of their exclemations : at length she obtained silence, and standing utile her carriage, to be better heard by the numerous troops that surrounded her, she addressed to that faith! iii guard all that her heel t inspired that was most noble, most lively, to express how much she was affected by so much zeal and de votion for the King. '-I come (she added) to ask of you a but. sacrifice. Promise to obey me in all that I shall command you. ' 4 We swear it.' • Well (conti. sued Madame), 'after what I have seen, no reliance can be placed:on the aid of the garrison : it is us less to attempt a defente. You have done enough for ho nour : preserve- to the King his faithful subjects for happier times. I take all upon myself : I direct you to tight no more.' 6 No, no, releesr us from isur oath : we will die for the King, we will die for you.' —They pressed round the chariot; they seized the hend'of Madame, they 'kissed it, :they inundated it with tears ; they demand, as the only favour, that the brave people of Baurdeaux may bepermitted to shed their blood. Their enthusiasm is carried to delirium —the whole city partakes it, and joins its tries of Vive le Rol, to that of the National Guard.
