The Queen and her maid were now lodged
in the best apartment of the Lion d. Argent,
with two sentinels placed at the door; the tat
too was beat; all the influential persons of the
place were summoned; the national guard were
under arms, and the local authorities establ sh-
ed themselves IN the large room of the inn.
When all the notabilites of Jougne were uni
ted, they delibcrated upon what they should
do in case of such political consequence. A
furious demagogue. the chief of their party,
commenced speaking in these terms:
Citlzens-We have just made great cap
ture but as famous general once said, it is
not enough to conquer, you must profit by the
victory. In few days the eyes of all France
will be upon US; for proud Jougne is one in the
number of illustIous cities which belong to
history. Let US raise ourselves to the gran
deur of our new position, and let US merit the
| appreciation of the nation which shall soon be-
| hold us may the wisdom of Cato and the pat
riOtism of Brutus inspire US may our decis-
ion be thought worthy to be placed side by
| side with the sublime sentences of the Greek
| Areopagus and the Roman senate. 'Tis thus
| propose : the patriots of Jougne shall form
themselves into battalion, place Marie Antoi-
nette of Austria in the middle of the ranks, and
conduct her to the bar of the national assem-
bly,; each Of us to carry one of the insignia o,
| the ROYALTY that we have arrested in fight
this sceptre, this crown, this royal mantlc, and
all this golden frippery which wound our re-
publican eyes; we shall place our epos upon
the altar of our country, and we snail return
gloriously to our firesides, altar having recel-
we'd the fluctuations of our brothers, and the
thanks OF liberty. And that it should cost
nothing to the nation, | demand that thirty
thousand frances seized upon the fugitive
should be employed in paving the expenses Of
our journey"
This speech caused great sensation bu
the more moderate, who always spoiled the
finest fights, proposed and carried by a major.
Ity of voices, that they should await the or
Il ders of the national assembly.
At this moment the Chevelier de MaIettes,
who had been delayed by fall, arrived in ths
hotel of the Loia d. Argent, wet, splashed, ant
wearied. The first thing he asked on en-
: tering was had they seen two ladies' pass IN
