"Among the manyother persona Wl)Oit asite'S-re-
posed in its vicinity were those of Marianne Des
Hayes. She had particularly manifested a.cleter-
mined resolution not to survive those dreadftil times
and, the loss of every thing .that madelifesupport
able On account of her yeuth,lier beauty, her tic-
complishmente, her niiifortenes, and her fintitede,
She had excited uncommotrinterest, universal com-
passion, and a well-merited'admiration.
" The French
.revolutiosiary assassins), CaUing-,.
themselvesrepubliCans, had Murdered one day her
„„irrandfather and grandmother, two aunts,. her father,
her mother, two brothers,.anda sister,' with her huS-
baed. She had been' driven, out, of her , paternal
dwelling, which the assassins of her family seized
and occupied without 'molestation. All these ter-'
rible disasters overtook her before she WIIS fcanteen.
lu vain did she look for sonsolation from religion,
for the Support 'of friends, or the pity of the public.
The churches were all shut; the priests all banished
or murdered.: All who esteemed her, or only knew
her parents and relatiVes, had shared their fate ; and
the calamities which oppressed every class of society
hardened the hearts., of even the Most tender. Self-
fear, or apathy, excluded all other feelings.
Those whowereencompaSsed with gibbets and ex-
ecutioners, with robbers and assassins, with famine,
death, and desolation, cared but little fur any -other
indiVidtial than themselves, or rather, .were inditeer-
ent to every thing, even to their own eXistcnce
They all numbered their days like respited criminals;
over whose head the sword of the law was ant-
peuded by a hair, and whom it threatened tosarike
every moment.
" IlltuS.situated. poor Marianne presented herself,,
betbre those sanguinary. Judges, by, whose 'ferocity.
she had become a solitary, hopeless, destitute, and
almost starving outcast of society. These barbarians
had,'atter a sitting of three hours, jeSC.sebteneed'
• 30 indiiduals to be guillotined and 182 to be shot.
They. Were going to dine in peace with their accom-
plices, tools, and prostitutes, when• Marianne called
out to them, Citizens, for rhariw'a sake, ac..:ept of
one viaim.tuore !. You have already. dispatched my
grand-parents, my parents,.my brothers, my sistersy,
and relatiVes. Of thred generations of my, fainily
am the only survivor ! What tali Ido •nlJne' hi the
world? I detest mySelf and the universe. • 'Put a

bathed with her tears, that she thwitiddritSsed thern
Courehand, one. of'tho Judges, and-the inost.htt-
mane of these monsters,ebserVea, that she was. too

executioner, and asked hint. eagerly 'to let her die
first. • 'j am,' said she, the most Miserable being
on Earth, and shall be the most happy in Heaven !'
in halfa minute her head was separated from her
body, and she was acorpse.
"‘ Before She went to the tribunal she had dis-
tributed among other distressed orphans every thing
she, had, oven 'part,of her wearing apparel, preserv-
ing. only enough to rover herself decently. Accord,
ing to a whiffle-length portrait of her, exhibited at
Lyons, in 1790, she was rather tall and grown for
her age, with blue" eyes, a Roman nose, fair hair,
and an elegant shape. Her face, if not flattered by
the artist, Was ()tie of the Most handsome , of her
sex, expressive of melancholy, but also resigna-
tion." :

traded to the Island alone, of all other foreigners,
and, comforting themselves- with the exclusive gain,
have submitted to every tunbrago with more than
Dutch patience.
