Second Trial of LOUIS CAPET.
£ Tranflatedfrom a French Paper, j
[Continued from our last—and concluded /
LOUTS CAPET then set forward or
fiis joupny, and after some hours :
travelling'. anived at the judgment feat o:
Minos. He trembled at tH£ Item afpedl
of the Judge and his affillants. " Terri
ble will be ny fa'e (said he) if lam fen
tenced to punifhme t for those peccadil
oes which were thought mrre matter o
mer imejit at Paris, before the revolution
But I will take courage, and (how him th
WILL, which my father confefToi was si
kin ! as to make for me ; and I am sure
/hall soon geti nto his graces."
Having thus fpoke,hethru(l himfelf int(
a or iwd of ghoft3 that environed the ba
of Minos. The judge d fpatched then
with a much hade as if he had been wel
paid for it : Some went away fad and de
jedted, others felicitated themselves on thfii
ientence. Capet's turn came at last, ani
Minos, with an air not over courteous, or
dcre(3 him to place himfelf in the bar.—
Ghojl- Do you know that I am a king ? —
Minot—lndeed ! so much the worse foi
you, then—begin with obeying my orders
£H-:re the dead man looked about !iim ir
that listless manner he was wont to do ir
his life-time, but feeing no guards at hi:
elbow to revenge the mortification, he pla
ced himfelf in the bar without making re
piy, and on the fame feat which but a few
minutes betr.e accommodated the fhoe
blocks of the Portt-Neuf, and the c®ok
wench of hi., Valet de Chambre, Clery."
Minos—Your name Sir ?—Ghojl—Loui:
Capet.—Minos—Your quality ?—Ghojl—
Alas ! for a long time part I have been o]
no consequence nor quality ; but time has
been that I was king of the French.—
Minns—What, Louis the lad ? are you the
roan that opposed the jutl laws of nature,
and refe ved for yourfelf only, and youi
favorites, the rights which the intended
equally for all men ?—Ghojl—This is al
falfhood and slander: When I saw tht
feop.e prefied down into the dust by the
immense weight of taxes, I, ot my owr
mere motion and good will, convoked tht
States General, in order to give them al
the juflice that was their due ; and so triu
is what I fay, that from this circumlUnct
I was univerfa'ly called the rellorer o:
French liberty.— /I inot—That may bt
true ; but when tiefe fame States Genera
had afleml led and issued their firtl decree,
which ir. :ome measure avenged the affroni
to nature, (he had so long experienced frorr
you, and your brethren in villainy ; fron
the effedt of that decree you began tc
perceive that reason had made more pro
grefs in the world than you had expected
and you immediately set about nipping tl«
infant bud of liberty, in order to fupporl
your prerogatives of pride and cruelty
You fjrrounded the National Affembh
with hired guards, whom you paid and in
flru&ed to your wish Humble remon
fir nces were made against this ast of def
potifm ; your answers were uniforml)
cruel and equivocal, and yon imputed tc
tie disorderly spirit of the Parisians, ar
effedt proceeding only from your ftrugglt
for the recovery of despotic power. It wai
then that your people for the firfl time,
fh iok off tiie yoke of opprefiion, and madt
their great effort for liberty, in overthrow
ing and erasing f om its foundations, thai
detffla'.le monument which, alone, con
demns yon, known by the name of th<
Ballille. When you saw your design de
seated, yon inllantly adted the fpanicl, and
did every thing in your power to calm
down that resentment of which you hac
Ik-atly become the victim. You afFedted e
chai after of popularity—and (pi'y indeec
that you could) you found forgiving
friends who received you in their arms and
covered you from vengeance with theii
own bodies. How did you requite them:
Accustomed to abuse your authority, what
you had been entrusted with you threw
into t e scale cf defpojifm ; you confirmed
personal servitude, feudality, tythes, &c.
The declaration of rights, and all othei
public aels that had the freedom and hap
piness of the people for their objedt, were
rendered fruit'efs by your treasons, and
your benefadtors soon repented of con
fiding power in your hands of which yoii
were utterly unworthy. I will not men
tion your drunken frolics, nor the nodtur
nal reve's of your wife, whom you fliould
have put Into close confinement after the
affair of the neet lace, a piece of villainy that
comp'etely debased her in the eyes of al
nations. Neither will I bring into view
all her adve/iturt s of gallantry, the notorie
ty of which rendered you b >th objects ol
national contempt. I well know that for
a long time the throne of France has beer
occupied by cuckolds & whore-mallers; but
■ill this is foreign to your preferit lituation.
i. will nt mention the criminal correfpon
ience you held with contemptible legifia
iors, with your brothers., your
md your al ies. I will only speak of what
ilrittly regards yourfel-, or is nearly con
netted with your own history. How wil!
you clear yourfelf of the black treachery
as your flight from the kingdom, of which
you had every reason to fear a dilcovery :
You endeavoured to avoid suspicion, tc
gain anew the confidence of the people,
alwa. s too ready to grant it, altho'yon
only meant to break your oath, and thereby
put yourfelf at the head of tt>e armies oi
you' accomplices, to re enter France and
to enslave a second time men who wereo
yerloading you with caresses and tender,
ness. You were arretted at Varennes. L
you had died then, Capet, your people
would havefti 1 mourned for you,would have
pardoned your weakness, & have pronoun
:ed it the lad effort of expiring royalty
—Your memory wouldthen have been lony
dear upon earth, and at your death the
jatesofElyfium would have opened to yoi:
without much difficulty — But this was nol
your fate—like a mean coward, you fuf
fercd yourfelf to be re conducted to Paris
where your entrance was the signal so:
blood and carnage. You then thought o;
nothing but a coalition of the tyrants oi
:he north, and at the very instant too wher
your fubjetts were still so affectionate as tc
:ake pi afure in feeing you, and providing
or you. fafety. I will pass over a multi
:udeof facts, which are but one tissue r :
reachery, that I may -tlend only to thofi
eading charges on which I am to founc
iiv sentence. Let us pass to the fatal Tent!
Df Aitgutl- Well may you tremble
This country resounds with the cries o
ts vi&ims You are mute —it is enougl
—Ghojl—But observe, Mr. Charon, tha
ny repentance basfome merit ; and tha
1 did repent,is clear from my last Will ant
Testament.—Minos— Hold! no more o
;hat—how dare you mention to me tha'
wretched capuchin sermon, which ever
your brethren nd adherents are afhamet
of. Capet, you are a notorious rogue, bu
I confefs you have Tome cause of excuse
You were habituated from your infancy t(
hear all your vices flattered, and to fe<
those virtues trampled underfoot, thefeedi
of which might possibly have been in you
but were never pra£ticed;you have facriftc-ec
to your passions a great part of your urifor
tunate nation, and smothered the cry o:
nature, only to iiilen to the voice of pride
and cruelty. I would fain persuade my
felf that your crimes ought rather to b;
imputed to your courtiers than to yourfelf
But the people knew you alone as king.—
In consequence of ail which I ordain, fen
tenre, and appoint, that conformably tc
your measure of capacity, you be confinec
to work at Vulcan's forge for forty thou
sand years ; after the expiration of whicl
term, I will fall upon Tome means to bcttei
your condition.— Ghojl—l3tit is there nc
pofiibiht}' of my obtaining an arrest ofjudg
■nent? —Minos—lt is written in the boot
of the fates, that you (hall be Vulcan';
bellow?-man—Retire ! Capet retir
ed with shame and confufion,fwearing (bui
too late) that he would take care how h<
ever came to that place again.

two hundred pages of letter press more. And it
need not be observed, that the seventeen maps to
