Il hat we may not be considered singular OF
mawkIsh IN noticing the strange incidents of the
times, we have taken the following extract from
the Souvenirs OF Count Sesur n the French, pa
yes 20, 80, 81:
Al the time Of the marriage Of Louis XVI
with Marie Anoinelte OF Austria nv rude con.
Quoted me with my brother, on the scalfold, cree,
ted in the Place Louis XIV, to see the artificial
fireworks to be exhibited upon the bank Of the
river"
"AIler the freworks,the immense crowd which
had filled the place and les Champs EIyscss,
rushed all at once to the side Of the BouyeIard, -
where brilliant Illumination had been prepar.

"By strange concurrence Of faults and neg
lecs, which those engaged in finishing The COL
onnades had committed in leaving open deep
trenches in the Rue Royal, tho nnumerabe ran
ges of carriages arriving from the extremes of
the Rue ST Honore, obstructed the communica

mo care had been taken to prevent disorder:
the archers were in number too small to resist

p'ckpocke!s, Feady to profit by the circumstance,
formed themselves into groups and hindered the
progress Of those who were advancing en- masss
in the Rue Royal
"ln the midst Of this confusion rapidly aug

trenches, which could not be avoided; other VIC
tIms fell upon them; the waves Of the multitude
were increasing in the narrow passage from
which there was no escape; they pushed in, tu'
mutt, Williams loaded with plumber, perlshed there
themselves, after having robbed men OF their pur.
ses and watches, and women Of their Jewels and
diamonds. There remained six hundred dead
upon the ground, and a number about equal man

men and children, who persisted, beng heaped
