vice in most of the streets-the troops having
ceased 6ring-poured like food toward the Palace
of the Tuileries.
Meanwhile desperate battle was going on at
the Palais Royal, and the Chateau d'Esu, between
the people and the l4th line, and II was evident

1t was evident that the King had more hope,
and that if he remained much longer in the palace

of treacherous and fraudulent Government was at
an end, and the King of the French, exalted to his

foot for the Chamber Of Deputies, to put her son
under the protection Of the representatives of the
people At the gate OF the garden OF the Tuileries
