daßed to the town hall of the com
mons of Paris. It was intended that
they fhqald have here a summary trial,
but the women, particularly the Poif
fardes, rushed in torrents into toe hall,
crying for vengeance, and the Swiss
guards were then given up to their fu
ry, and every man of them murdered
on the foot.
A feene equally Locking took place
in another party of the Sw„s and some
of' the Federates and guards. Ihe
daughter was here very considerable,
particularly among the Bred feder
ates, who being mistaken b the Na
tional guards for S&ifs soldiers, from
their wearing a red uniform, were fired
upon by their own party and many
killed.—Tne Swiss barracks were in
the course of the day let fire to and
burnt down. .
Many of the women belonging to
the palace, and some others, met an
equally unfortunate fate. — They had
fled for fafety, and had reached the
bridge, when they were pursued by the
mob. Knowing that their lives were
in danger if they were taken —about
20 threw themselves over the balus
trades into the water and were drown
ed.
• The palace of the Thuilleries is al
most wholly destroyed — all the doors
and windows of it being broken to
pieces. The mob not contended with
having murdered all thole within it,
afterwards placed cannon, loaded with
ball, and pointed against it, by which
means federal of them are beaten
down. The furniture was thrown oat
of the windows and destroyed ; and
all the adjacent buildings in flumes.
During all these disorders, the King
and the Royal Family were fitting a
imong the deputies of the National
Assembly, where they had taken ref
uge. There the King heard pronoun-

ail his functions, of every atom of

Students of the Academy in
this town, gave their public
annual Exhibition. The
weather being very pleasant,
the concourte of people was
uncommonly large, and the
Meeting-houie filled to a de
gree never before known.-
In the midst of the perform
ances an alarm was railed in
the afitnibly by thecruihing
of a board in the floor of the
upper gallery ; and thogreat
pains were taken by the cool
and considerate to perluade
the multitude that there was
no real danger, the general
desire of efcap>ng ficin the
house was so great, that in
the press formed at the front
door, numbers were thrown
to the ground and trampled
on bv tire following croud.
Providentially, the only ma
terial Sufferers were zwomen
from Chichetter, who were
very much bruiied and one
of them badly'wounded. it
is thought, however, that
they will recover— — From
this accident we would take
the liberty to caution people
who may be in similar situ
ations, against that raih and
inconsiderate conduct, by
which an imaginary danger
is frequently converted into
a real one.
