neut to the whole delusivs system OF nnsece, nae
been q constant source OF annoyance to the Regent;
but this obstinate rejection of his last grand expe-
dent of q commercial monopoly, was not to be toie-
rated. He determined to punish that intractabie
body. The Able Dubois and Law suggested SIM
pie mode; it was to suppress the parliament alto
gether, being, as they observed, so lar from useful
that it was a constant impeachment to the march OIL
public affairs The Regent was half inclined to lis
ten to their advice; but upon camer consideration
and the advice Of friends, he adopted a m re mode
rate On the 10Th of July, in the morn
ing, all the doors Of the parliament house were
taken possession of by troops. Others were sent to
surround the house Of the first president and others
tn the houses Of the various members, who were all
at first in great alarm, until order from the King
was put into their hands, to render themselves at
Ponio Sc, IN the course of two days TO when pace
the parliament was thus suddenly and arbitrarily
transferred.
This despotic act says Volaire, would at any 9th
er time have caused insurreeton but one nall oil
the Parsians were occup ed by their ruin, and the
other half by their ancied riches, which were soon
to vanish The president and members OF parlament
acQuiesced in the mandate without murmur; they
even went if party Of pleasure, and made eve
preparation to lead "a Joyous life In their exile
The musqueteers, who held possession OF the va
Gated parliament house, gay corps oi fashionable
young fellows, amused themselves with making
songs and pasquinades at he expense Of the exied
legislators and at lenght to pass away iime formed
themselves into mock parliament; elected their
presidents, kings min sters, and advocates; took
their seats in due form arragned cat at their bar
in place of the Sieur Law, and after giving 1t "far
trial. condemsedj it to be hanged. In this manner,
pubic affairs and public institutions were lightly
turned to Jest.
AS to the exled parliament it lived gaily and lux
uiously at Pontoise at the public expense; for the
Regent had furnished funds as usual, with lavish
hand. The first president had the mansion Of the
Duke &c Bouillon put at his disposal, all ready fur
pished, with vast and delightful garden on the
borders of river. There he kept open house to all
the members Of parliament Several tables were
spread every day, all furnished luxuriously and
n end he m ana in
the choicest fruits and relre shments, of all kinds
abound d. A number of small chariots for and
tive horses were ALWAYS at hand for such ladies' and
old gentlemen wished to take an airing after din
ner, and card and billiard tables for such chose
to amuse themselves in that way until supper. The
sister and the aughter of the first president did the
honors OF his house, and he himself presided there
with air of great ease, ospitaIity, and mayn.f
cence. 1t became party OF pleasure to dive from
Paris to Pontoise, which was six leagues d slant,
and parake of the amusements and festivities of the
place. Business was openly sighted nothing was
thought of but amusement. The Regent and his go
vernmsnt were laughed at, and made the subject Of
continual pleasantrles while the enormous expresses
incurred by this idle and lavish course OF life
than doubled the liberal sums provided. This was
the way in which the parliament resented their
exile.
During all this time the system was getting more
and more Involved The stock exchange had some
time previously been removed TO the Place Vendome;
but the tumult and noise becoming intolerabe TO the
residents Of polite quarter, and especially to the
