Selves Five o'clock struck and they
had not arrived At that moment the
eoRe dea was strikingly awful. The
wh1le area ofthe Place de Greye, and as
mlcl of lhc Quar- de Greve rs could SEE,
we're filled by dense crowd, now incapa-
HE of increase. SO irresistible was the
force produced by the slightest motou,tlat
tde. soldiers were mome,H"rlly compelled
TO eiye way, and the hollowsquare became
gradually contracted. The windows and
S,gs of all the houses within yieW--ihe
oiays oppositeA-the Points Bridges
f1iite and de Masie, even the tow crs CT
tAechureh OF Notre Dame, in the distance,
were crowded. A great deal OF anuae-

but the spectators continued encouraging
the Sayoyards, by shouts, plaudits, and
clipping Of hands .
Precisely as the clock of the Hotel dc
Vile, struck quarter past five, The first
eendarnes forming the escort OF the cole
dcmed entered the Place de Greye uni
,clsai cry of "IIpts off," took place--all
head, were uncovered. The two Wagons
in succession appeared, in the first was
the exccationer, prisoners Bores, Goubin,
nd Two clcrgymen III the second was
EaatiY asi Punier, each also attended by
d clergyman. Thc prisoners sat on a
board lsared aerass ip the wagons, and be-
side each,a prcs, with acruchx in his hand,
who seemed apparently most aDxious to
lmpress their unhappy charge with some
sense of religion, but most certainly with
Dpi success.
During The whole Hne Of march, from
the Coneiergerie, to the Place dc Greye,
the prisoners had never attended to The
priests far aa instant. They looked around
them necessarily, acknowledging acquali-
h,nccs IN Tie crowd, made loud remarks 10
each other; and Bories and Guhin repeat
ely addressed the people, Notwithstanding
the caurts Of the priests and the gendarnes
u restrain them.
Arrived at the scaaold, tke same spirit
continued 10 animate them up 10 their
