THE DEATH OF ROBESPIERRE.


"The conspirators finding themselves

the stair by Coffinhall, but though

crawl into the entrance of sewer,
from whence he was dragged out by
the troops Of the Convention.
Robespierre and Conthon being sup
posed to be dead, were dragged by the
heels to the Quai Pelletier where it
was proposed to throw them into the
river; but it being discovered, when
day returned, that they still breathed,
they were stretched on a board, and
carried to the Assembly. The men,

was sent to the Concicrgerie, when he
was confined in the same cell which
had been occupied by Danton, Hebert,
and Chaumette. At length he was
brought, with all his associates, to the
