The JacObin Club +.

A curious discovery has lately been
made, while repairing the house formerly
occupied BY the Jacobin Club during the
great revolution, and known as the Hotel
de Londres, in the Rue St. Hyacinth, st.
Honore. The Club, which guided the
destinies Of the revolution during some
few years, had often boasted Of allowing
the ambition Of kobespierre and other
leaders to progress so far, and no farther
and the M m5ers by vote had passed q
law which entitled the majority to ex.
clude from any particular seance any
particular member whose interests nigh,
lea hiul to sway the opinion cf the Club.
Robesplerre, whose ambition had render.
ed him an object of suspicion, had often
been voted out of the assembly; and i,
has been matter of Surprise to the his
torian of the time, that he could so long
maintain his influence IN spite of the
violence of the opposition thus permitted
The secret is now revealed. A small
room-a hiding place in the thickness OF
the wall--has just been discovered, open
ing by trap-door into the very hall where
the deliberations were being carried on.
[. is evident that this hiding-place mus,
nave been occupied by Robrspierre; and
when first entered by the workn.en the
tsaces of his presence were still visible
in the journal which lay upon the table,
md the writing paper, from which had
oeen torn small portion, Us if for the
purpose ot making memorandum. The
only book which was found in the placs.
was volume of FIorin, open at the Sec
ond chapter OF Claudine. 1t was covered
with snuff. which had evidently been
shaken from the readers shirt-frill, and
bore testimony to the truth of history
which records the simplicity OF the liter
ary tastes Of Robespierre. His prese Ct.
seemed still to hang about that small
space, as though he had quilted it but the
moment before; and, singular enough,
the marks of the feet, as though he had
recently trOuden through the mud, We're
still visible on the tiles, of which the
flooring is composed.
The following is cUrrect copy of the
original order given concerning the
Mountain Meadows massacre. The or.

it, was found among the papers of
