 the horrid proposition made in

 were the exclamations of the 

 furies that crowded the streets ! 

 The people flew to the con- 

 vent of the Carmelites, where 

 ihe refractory priests of Paris 

 were confined, and without 

 mercy the cardinal du Roche- 

 foucalt,and about -one hundred 

 and thirty priests, were maf-

 R. Kulieres and the abbe Bardy 

 were the first persons murdered 

 at the Hotel de la force, and the 

 abbes Lentant, Chapt de Ras- 

 tiguac, and Fontenay at the

 beauty had no influence on

M. Lenfant had been ac-

 of the goal when the mob 

 found out his real name, and he 

 was pursued, brought back, and 

 murdered. M. Mailly, a ma- 

 jor general, was claimed bv the 

 commilsioners as a carpenter, ■ 

 but he was found out and in-

The abbe Solomon du Vey- 

 rier, late secretary, Guillaume, 

 the notary, and several other 

 prisoners, were saved by means 

 of the commifsioners.
