[Ex rKACT FROM A PRIVATE LE mit.]
In this diversity of opinions Madame did not he-

Madame went away, her heart rent at the scene which
IY? 114 d witnessed. .
" tint this was nothing : the visit, to the second
barrack was much more painful. The spirit of re.
,heaved itself a thousand times more, and it.was
rill inoie uselessly that Madame attempted to bring
liera back to the path of honour. In spite of the
ale. success which her Royal Highness could hope
7oni a third attempt with such.troops, she wished to
neglect nothing ; and it was at the castle Trmnpette
that the last efforts of her heroic courage were car-
iLd to the highest poiat. Wain a reception was
there prepared for the august daughter of so many
Kings !, In my bfe 1 shall never forget it, so much
lid I suffer from it. After having passed the dark
raults. of this strong castle, picture to yourself the
d'ail which struck us on our entrance into thht

L.tt to what an excess of delusign must they have
'run driven, when they seemed. to redouble their rage,
it hearing language so noble and so tot:a:hie. The
to t:.e emotion of Madame increased, the greater
'oceanic her eltiqoence : tears inundated he visage :

dare to say, ironically—" I make no_answer, because

colliction of such insolence, ail my blood still boils :
never did I experience such a feeling of indignation.'
Madame gave the signal to depart : a rolling of the
drum was heard, and we repassed under the batt ries.
of. this gloomy fiirtress, our hearts still more tom-
than when we entered.
44 TAweeten the bitterness of this painful cup, it
appeared that Mad me had reserved for the end ot-
her course, the review which she proposed to take of
that faithful National Guard which was drawn to
on the superb quay which extends along the banks
of the Garonne. A very different scene from that
she had Jest witnessed then awaited her. As soon
as she vowed, a general cry of Vivi /e Roil Viet
Mad.ret: ! was heard. At sight of the profound grief
spread *Ter Tier visage, their attachment for her was
redoubled, and they expressed it with transport. She
had much difficulty in making herself heard in the
mids't of their exclemations : at length she obtained
silence, and standing utile her carriage, to be better
heard by the numerous troops that surrounded her,
she addressed to that faith! iii guard all that her heel t
inspired that was most noble, most lively, to express
how much she was affected by so much zeal and de-
votion for the King. '-I come (she added) to ask of
you a but. sacrifice. Promise to obey me in all that I
shall command you.' 4 We swear it.' • Well (conti.
sued Madame), 'after what I have seen, no reliance
can be placed:on the aid of the garrison : it is us less to
attempt a defente. You have done enough for ho-
nour : preserve- to the King his faithful subjects for
happier times. I take all upon myself : I direct you
to tight no more.' 6 No, no, releesr us from isur
oath : we will die for the King, we will die for you.'
—They pressed round the chariot; they seized the
hend'of Madame, they 'kissed it, :they inundated it
with tears ; they demand, as the only favour, that the
brave people of Baurdeaux may bepermitted to shed
their blood. Their enthusiasm is carried to delirium
