The Queen i►i;tantiy commnruleci him to abstain
from any violence ; and he, without quitting hip
hold of the musket, but pushing it gently to one
Side, that, if it did go,off, the charge might not
touch the .carriage, just said, with a low voice,
is What, Madam+ will you not suffer me to drive
away this rabble ?" " No, (answered the Queen,)
don't meddle with them ; you would only -binder
us: this will soon be over."

just at this junlure, Sausse, prqcnreur of the
commune frown), came up, with the Comman&tor
of the Volunteers, or National Guards, and, under
the pretence of executing Ms magisterial duty, aSk-
ed for the passports of the travellers, and made the
Royal Family alight.

They were condufted to Saesse's house, which
was every where filled with national guards.
When they entered an apartment, the King went
and sat down at the farther end ; the Queen and
Princess Elizabeth scaled themselves one on each
side of the King, but a little farther-forward, that,
if possible, they might conceal his Majesty from
the prying eyes of the multitude, who shewed the
utmost eagerness to behold him.
For the same purpose M. de .Moustier placed him.
self on a chair between the Queen and the Princessl
and immediately before the King.
Some one of the crowd having observed, " they
say this is the King ;" " if you suppose this to be
the King, (said M. de Moustier,) you ought already
to be at his feet : and if he he only a common travel-
ler, what right have you to interrupt his journey ?"
On hearing what passed, his Majesty rose from
his chair, and advancing to the middle of the cham-
ber, said aloud, " Yes, I am your King !—Being
worn out with the outrages to which I have been so
long exposed in the capital, I have at last resolved
to withdraw to a remote corner of my dominions ;
and there 1 am convinced I again meet with
genuine marks of that alreOion which the French
have, from the earliest times, borne to their right-
ful Sovereigns."
No sooner were these words uttered by his Ma.
jesty, than Sausse, the procureur, and Hannoner,
the commander of the national guards, struck with
awe, threw themselves at his Majesty's feet., atsd
with tears poured forth protestation‘ of their love
and respea for ail the Royal Family, and of their
joy in beholding their King in the midst of his peo-
ple : they even added their resolution to shed the
last drop of their blood for his service.
His Majesty and the Queen raised them from the
ground, and he spoke to them in the following wan.
ner :

" My good people are not criminal : they are
only misled. They have not utterly shaken off
their ancient love for their Sovereign ; and as a
proof of the sincere al:Ction I bzar to them, I de-
e 1 are that I am ready to take an Null number of
the national guards and of the regular t ••,ohs to ac-
company me to Monttnedy, whither I have resolved
to retire. I therefore ordtr you, Sir, the com-
mander of the national guards, to choose out the
proper number for the purpose ; and let the horses
be put to the carriage itmuediately, fur I must in-
stantly set out."
These very men, who but the instant before had
given such marks of devotion to their King, in-
stead of obeying his commands, bodly declared
that they neither could nor would proceed with
him.

" I order you to make ready (said his Majesty),
I insist on it, and that without delay." On re-
ceiving an answer similar to the former, he turned
from them, and went back to his chair.

To complete the King's distr:ss, the regular
troops were j:ist as muelt lost to all sense of duty ;
for the detachment of Lauzun's hussaYs, which came
up at this time, on arriving under Sausse's windows,
without hesitation, at the request of the National
Guards, shouted out Five la Nation !

The Royal Family went and remained a consi-
derable time at the windows of the apartment ; the
Queen holding up the Dauphin in her arms, and the
Princess Elizabeth carrying the young Princess
Royal. They presented them to the multitude as-
sembled in the street, whom they addressed with
a goodness and condescension, mingled with dig-
nity, sufficient to have touched the most unfeeling
hearts : but all was to no purpose.
The regular troops, in former days so much alive
to sentiments of honour and duty, persisted in their
attachment to the multitude, for whom they had
declared themselves ; but an officer of the hussars
coming up to the King, requested his orders : " You
see (said his Majesty), that I can give no orders.
You must know yourself what you ought to do."
But the most distressing circumstance of all, was
the unaccountable alas-nce of the brave but unfortu.
De Bouille, with the gallant regiment of Royal Alit-
mand, a regiment which had never failed to dis-
tinguish itself fur every excellent quality.
