Both these circumstances, which were given to me at certain facts ; the first, that his Exci bency th e Minister of Police, had come to the Hotel de Ville. the second, that he had given or d ers t h ere f or atrest. ing such individuals as were reputed Jacobins, in. creased my credulity of the new principal ; —and I entertained no farther doubt of the dreadful mist tune, which appeared to be the cause of evvry thin g which I heard and saw, having actually taken pl. c e , Overwhelmed, as I could not avoid beitg, ur.4 4 such a persuasion, I arrived at home. The Commandant of the Tmop arrived the* a short time after me,along tOth another officer, woo * I thought I recollected as being a Secretary, or per. son employed in the office of M. Count Hellia.— After haying heard the fatal news repeated and eon. firmed, and which had now become spread all around me, these Officers invited me to pass on to my Cabinet. I .conducted them thither, through what is called the S a l oon et P a rade, the lengilt of the Grand Saloon. When we arrived in My Cabinet, the Commandant seated himself in the manner of a man depressed by sorrow. The other officers and myself remained with. out. The Commandant drew from his pocket, and gave to me to read, the letter containing the orders by virtue of which he found himself nominated to guard the Hotel de Ville. I immediately looked for the signature, and finding it to be Malet, demanded to know why it was net signed by General Hullin, and who was this General Malet ? The Commandant replied-4' my G.neral is wounded, and General Malet is Chief, or one of the Chiefs of the General Staff." I began to read. I had got through near the third part t th, fire page of tins letter, when the Serjeant of the Prefec ture came to inform me, that his Excellency the Mi. nister of Police requested to speak with me. . " Lee him come in," replied I with quickness, and discos. tioned reaci.ng the letter. The Serjeant re-orned t' e door a moment after, announcing 117.5 Excellent; :I e Minister of General Police. Immediately reflec:ii.z that the Minister might wish to speak to me in pt.. vate, insteal of it before the two officers wl:c were present, I Er* t,) the dour, to receive his tied -Ic4ncy, not in mi Cabinet, but in the great Saloon.— It was not the Minister, but a person bearing the de. coratiens cif the Legion of Honour, and who spoke to me, so far as 1 can recollect them,' these very words I ant not the Minister ; oft the contrary, I cane to obtain int.,rmation from you, if the Minister is not at the Hotel de Vile ?" 44 No, Sir, (replied 1) be has been there, but unfortunately, I was not there.' 44 Pardon me, (replied the same person) lam sent by Madame de IRovigo, who is in much sorrow, is . great consternation !" 6 g Alas ! (replied I, in my turn, and striking trey head) Alas Sir, what may have happened, - that should not have been ?" The person retired, and I re-entered my Cabinet, more fully persuaued than ever of the truth of all that had been told me, and especially of the fact of his Excel. tency having came to the Hotel de Vile, as Madame de Rovigo had sent there to enquire for him. Here is tl.e. place to repori the fact, which explain% the error of Mr. V illemsens in consequence of mine, and probably likewise that of the messenger of Ms. dame the Uuchgts of Rovigo, concerning the arrival of the Minister at the Hotel de Ville. One or the *raw ,spirators haid been there in the carriage, and with I the livery of the Minister. I reentered my Cabinet, and again took the hues of which I have spoken above ' and read in it, that the Imperial Gimerntimilt was abolished, and that a Provisional Commisilen was to assemble at eine o'clock at the Hotel de Ville. The abolition of the ' Government; the establishment of a Provisional Commission, which was to sit at the Hotel de Vilk ; the summoning the people by means of the tocsin; all these revolutionary measures overthrew the idea I had at first entertained, that for security and main. tenance of the public order under existing serious circumstances, the arrest of such individuals as were reputed Jacobins had been ordered. It Is not M, Lapierre (said I to myself) who is gnisig to be arrested, it is I myself; then putting on a forced semblance of security, I said to the Cow. mandant, , t Well ! what do you want ?" Wt want one place for the Commissioners, and another for trig Gennal Staff." " There is room in the Grand Sae loon for the Commissioners ; and as for your General _ . Staff, they can seat themselves below in the Hotel de Vide :" and, under the pretext of going out of my cabinet, I opened the doors and passed into the Cracci Saloon. I then called (as I believe), to the Eou,-- keeper, or to M. Bouhin, Chief of the Secretary's Office ; I gave orders to bring tables and chairs into this Saloon, and fled to my own house, leaving tte two officers behind, telling them that I was going to change my boots, but deliberating in my own min l on what was to be dime, and on the means ' having an interview with the Prince Arch-Chancellor , Immediately on re-entering my own house, I orders to bring out my horses ; but at the same meat M. Bothin, Chief of the Secretary's Oo came running to inform me that Adjutant Laborde was come with orders from the Minister at Ware cause the Cohort to retire, and to replace it by troops. I immediately returned to the Grand Saloon, where I in effect found the Adjutant Laborde in disput' with the Commandant of the Cohort; but all passed between them turned merely on the poin ascertaining which of the two was tekguard the H. de Ville, without dropping a single tvord by which could guess at the true cause or what was passi4 when, casting a look about me, I discovered, stand• ill; near a casement, M. Saunier, Secretary-General to the Minister of Police. Dur►ng the space of 20, or 25 minces, that all had lasted, he was the first person among those ' met, who could give me any information. I t myself on M. Saulnier, in pressing these quest' 44 What does all thin mean ? Tell me what is forward ? is the news that is current, believed I,Vhat news r' tranquilly replied M.
