How dreadful, a King thus to massacre those whom he
dares to call his subjecti—not being aware that we passed
the night on the other side of the river, our escape was
considered as miraculous.

On Friday I proceeded to view the previous day's fields
of battle at the Hotel de Ville, &e. ; to describe to you the
scenes I witnessed for several sucessive days would require
more time and paper than lat present command. Amidst
a heap of killed the previous day, soldiers and citizens, a
woman came to look for the body of her husband—having;
at last recognized it, she embraced the corpse, but without
a tear in her eye, silently looking towards Heaven and in-
yoking vengeance :—" Are you sure that is your husband,"
(noire more) said one of the two citizens who was mount-
ing guard over the bodies, and assisted her to place it on a
board to carry away, " Quite sure," said the woman—" Eh,

of quick lime, and the hodies piled up in a boat, a' tol taken
down the river to be interred. About 80 are buried in
front of the Louvre, the citizens on the two side fosses,
and the Swiss in the centre one—two small, pillars with

You ask tees if any of our countrymen took en active
share its the late Revolution ; I should suppose scarcely
any,--the Mr. gnight (of Mouriee'B) has already denied
the account* of him given by the papers, and the young
man killed at Lawson'e Hotel was merely looking out at the
window at the time. As a stranger in a country, end
