N the fitting of the National AfMouquet, from feveral committees, made the following report. "For a confiderable time the Sieur Bouillé had been foliciting the King to quit Paris, where he fancied that imaginary dangers furrounded him, with terror and difquiet, and he promifed him in the departments where he commanded a public force, a peace and liberty of which he affected to believe he was deprived in the capital. The King refifted long at length he yielded—and from that moment preparations were made for his depar ture. "On the 11th of June, the King, accompanied by the Queen alone, went at five o'clock to the houfe of Madame Rochereuil, one of the ladies in her fervice, whofe apartment communicated to a corrodor by a staircase, and by a ftaircase alfo to the apartment of M. de Villequier. The Queen, after examining this apartment, and its communication with others, told Madame de Rochereuil, that he meant to employ her as one of the ladies of her bedchamber. "The King then defired to be conducted to the apartment of M. de Villequier, the door of which opened to the Prince's Court. He called for the key of this door. Madame de Rochereuil anfwered, that fince the departure of M. Villequier the door was always open, and the door at the the anti-chamber, only was fhut. "On the 13th the King ordered the Sieur Renard, Infpector of the Buildings, to cause the key of the door of M. de Villequier's anti-chamber, and the key of the door of the little faircafe leading from the apartments of Madame de Rochereuil, to be brought to him; which was done. "On the 17th the Sieur Dumoutier, formerly of the Body Guard, walking in the garden of the Thuilleries, was accofted by a perfon unknown, who defired him to follow him to receive the King's orders, He followed this perfon, who introduced him to the King's chamber. The King ordered him to tell the Sieurs Maldan and Vallory, two of his former companions, to provide themfelves with courier's dreffes of a yellow colour. The King then directed him to walk on the Key of the Pont-Royal, and that there a perfon would make himself known to him and communicate his further orders. The Sieur Dumoutier, after speaking to his two companions of the King's orders, did with them as he was directed, by a perfon alfo unknown. "On the 20th the Sicur Vallory went on horfeback to Bondy, to befpeak póft-horfes for the King. The Sieur Dumoutier went the fame day to the gate of St. Martin, where B 2 there there was a berlin with four horses. The Sieur de Maldan repaired to the Court of the Palace, at eleven at night, on the 20th, and was conducted into a clofet, where he was fhut up till midnight. A carriage with two horfs drew up at eleven o'clock, in the Prince's Court. A chaife from the hotel of Count Ferfen, Colonel of the Royal Swedish Regiment, one of the principal agents in this enterprize, waited on the quay of Voltaire, at the extremity of the Pont-Royal. No change was made in the economy of the Royal Household, the ufual orders were given, and all retired to bed at the ufual hour. "At half an hour past eleven, the Queen went into her daughter's chamber, and ordered the Lady of her Bedchamber to drefs Madame Royale and conduct her to the Dauphin's apartment. Madame de Tourzel, who had received orders from the King in the course of the day, at the fame time told Madame de Neuville, Lady of the Bedchamber to the Dauphin, to drefs him, and Madame Royale being come wentw th her, the Dauphin, Madame Brugnier, and Madame de Neuville to an apartment where they found the King, the Queen, Madame Elizabeth, and two perfons unknown. One of these persons was directed to conduct Madame Brugnier, and Madame de Neuville to the carriage at Pont-Royal, whence thoy repaired to Clayes, according to their orders. The other conducted Madame de Tourzel, with the Dauphin, and Madame Royale, by the little ftaircafe to the Prince's Court, where a carriage was waiting for them. The carriage ftop. ped at the end of the Caroufel, to wait for the reft of the Royal Family. Madame Elizabeth and the queen arrived alone, and on foot, and were put into the carriage by the driver. The King followed, attended by the Sieur Maldan, who got up behind the carri age, which then took the road to Bondy. "At the gate of St. Martin the "On Tuesday the 21ft, at eleven o'clock at night, the Poft-mafter of Clermont came to M. late Marquis, de Villee, now Prefident of the dif trict of that place. He told him, that a courier had juft paffed, who put three Louis into his hand, and ordered eleven horfes. "During his furprize at this generofity, a large voiture, very carefully fhut up, arrived, and while he was har neffing the horfes, a voice called out, to him-" How far is it from here to Verdun ?"-" Three pofts-thisFouette and Varennes."-M. de Dar mas went to the man who rode firft, drew him on one fide, and converfed with him in a very low voice. This air of mystery induced him, the Poftmafter, to fuppofe that the voiture contained fome perfons of confe quence. "It did fo, no doubt, faid the Prefident. It was on this account, that fo many parties of light troops have of late furrounded us; they certainly have favoured the cfcape of fome im portant perfons, perhaps, of the Queen and her fon. Let us inform the mu nicipality;-I will run and assemble the Directory." M. de Damas had ordered his dra. goons |
