up in one of the principal streets. Tie cavalry on reaching
the spot were obliged to charge on the mob, when two or
three persons were killed.
"On the following days the city was pretty quiet ; the
people assembled in considerable lumbers before the houses
which had been destroyed, but without making any hostile
demonstrations. Numerous detachments of troops patroled
and kept the streets clear. But in the evening the disturb-
ances recommenced in the same quarter as on the previous
day, and it was necessary to have again recourse to the
cavalry. These tumultuous scenes took place whilst
the King and Royal Family were at the theatre. A nume-
rous mob bent their steps in that direction, exclaiming that
they would not allow the rich to divert themselves whilst
the necessaries of the poor were advanced in price ; but
the guard at the door presenting their arms on the approach
of the people, made them draw back. The people within
the theatre were in great alarm, fearing the building
might be set fire to, and several retired as fast as
they could. The King and Royal Family, however,
stopped out the first act, and then retired. In
the course of the evening mimerous arrests took place, and it
was hoped the discord had ceased ; but on the following day
some disturbances again took place, and several bakers' shops
were entered and pillaged. His Majesty .went out each day
in his carriage. The director of police issued a proclamation
prohibiting more than ten persons assembling together at the
same time. On the following day, the troops of the garrison,
who were very much fatigued, were relieved by the garde
bourgeoise, and this display et force was the means of preserv-
ing order. In the meantime the Government deemed it pru-
dent to make some concession, and the burgomasters circu-
lated placards, announcing that beer would be sold at the
old price. This news was soon spread thrOugh the city, and
tended so much to restore quiet, that the sth passed without
disturbance, and the King was preparing to set out for Rome
on the Bth.
" There is every reason to hope that there will be no re-
currence of those violent scenes, tranquillity having been se-
cured by the timely concession made to the roused passions of
the multitude."
