Ile found himself, therefore, compelled In prole,e
to the King the calling twitter the Notables of the
kingdom, as they had been during the asininity of
Louis ,111. erre, fir may b. conceited by
the import of the use, the most distinguished pea.
sons in ibe reentry. They were sonasnotterl to
council by writ of the Rossi Sign Manual. The
Notables amounted in number to one hundred and
forty. It wield appear that the mining Minister
had made himself well acquainted with the art• of
some of ace Patlismetioary elections—the Westford
nag for imitate, since he hid laid a well-concerted
plan for making a reel intrearity pus for an apparent
majority. He well knew the greater part of the
Notables werei, to his meanest—they had, in-
deed, folly informed themselves of the state of the
nation ; that the corrupt conduct and tontines
cupidity of Ministers would, if allowed to go on un-
ehecked,soon draw the last shilling oat of the pockets
of the crowd, and put it inin thee win, and those of
their intimates sad dependants.
It is uotsuesury to enter Into very minute details
of all that passed in France about this time. These
occeriences, which films this prelude to the Its.
volution, have been accolotoly recited by Thetis.
Paine and others. So much of them however,
will be taken hooks of as will setae to keep
op
the register chain of nccorroncee till the
taking of the °wile, in July. 17E9, which event
may be considered as the itevnletion begun ; for
it was not till that object of the l'atrints was cc.
contplished that the old (internment was struck with
the danger of its non situatit .1, the Good having till
that moment had no notion that citizens would ever
attempt what was, in the eyes of Gothic !mentions,
only to be done by regular troops. The Marquis
de la Fayette, as he wu then called, distinguished
himself moth at this tier fur his 4111,110/11i1,11 to the
mrhitrary measures of the Court and its Ministers.
He had made seven or right campaigns in America,
meth to his 'eyelet ion as • soldier; he bed also spent
his leisure hours with Washington, Paine, Schuyler,
and others, mot 1044 to his honour as • philoso•
pier; and was highly esteemed by them all. it
was in their company that he tempered the fierce-
ness of the warrior with the philanthropy of the
Mau it mu from am he learned (for he was very ;

theirs, persevere:l with spiiii, and went so far Its to
accuse the /11inister, then in the zenith of his power.
with pecehtion in his departmeut ; that he had mild
crown lands to the amount of two millions of lines,
•ithout rendering an acenetit of the money, or omen
showing that he bad the King's consent to dispose of
them. This was like taking a bell by the horns ; and
the friends of the Marquis tientblesl for the jitter. of the
denunciation. The Prince, in a menacing voice, asked
in Fayette if lie would venture to put the eccusation
in writing, to which be immediately answered, most
certainly; and the paper was carried to the King,
and occasioned, Omagh set immediately, that very
Nlinister's ditasisstil ; bet as that was all the punish.
.nent ieGicted on him, it was shrewdly suspected
that the queen end her party knew the whole trans-
it 'II 'it, and had shared is its profits. The expelled
Galonsie now came over to London, to which Court
he cogjectsred that these peccadillos do tin injury to
• Minister's repetition. 'lee warmth of friendship
lie hail uniformly experienced ever after from theCoert
and the Cabinet Ministers prove that he was in the right.
The ruction of the Minister's song to the Assembly
spas--Taxes-7'axes—Tuxes—to which La Fayette
as regularly made the responses or—Retrenchments—
Rcireackaseals—Relrenchnscids. Tais word is not in
the Minister's rack Micas,. With tetronctsesenta
the Minister must naturally lose his friends and sup.
porters ; of course, that which communicates life to
the People is death to him. The Atnetiren General
went so far as to *me SOW of the items for retrench-
ment ; among "putts he pointed oil rtprtlCP of
the Iltstile, in the article of Government, tigh.gover-
nor, Csptains, Wardens. Ice. Ac. The President
said the object of the Meeting was not inteiglesi

he netted the ostensible object was to relie;:e the

ments, the intention of the Assembly was fulfilled
