0. CHAPTER XXV. [1] "Memoires de la Princesse de Lamballe," i., p. 342. [2] Les Gardes du Corps. [3] Louis Blanc, iii., p. 156, quoting the Procedure du Chatelet. [4] "Souvenirs de la Marquise de Crequy," vol. vii, p. 119. [5] There is some uncertainty where La Fayette slept that night. Lacretelle says it was at the "Maison du Prince de Foix, fort eloignee du chateau." Count Dumas, meaning to be as favorable to him as possible, places him at the Hotel de Noailles, which is "not one hundred paces from the iron gates of the chapel" ("Memoirs of the Count Dumas," p. 159). However, the nearer he was to the palace, the more incomprehensible it is that he should not have reached the palace the next morning till nearly eight o'clock, two hours after the mob had forced their entrance into the Cour des Princes. [6] Weber, i., p. 218. [7] Le Boulanger (the king), la Boulangere (the queen), et le petit mitron (the dauphin). [8] "Souvenirs de la Marquise de Crequy," vii., p. 123. [9] Weber, ii, p. 226. [10] "Souvenirs de Quarante Ans," p. 47. CHAPTER XXVI. [1] Madame de Campan, ch. xv. [2] F. de Conches, p. 264. [3] Madam de Campan, ch. xv. [4] See a letter from M. Huber to Lord Auckland, "Journal and Correspondence of Lord Auckland," ii, p. 365. [5] La Marck et Mirabeau, ii., pp. 90-93, 254. [6] "Arthur Young's Travels," etc., p. 264; date, Paris, January 4th, 1790. [7] Feuillet de Conches, iii., p. 229. [8] Joseph died February 20th. [9] "Je me flatte que je la meriterai [l'amitie et confiance] de votre part lorsque ma facon de penser et mon tendre attachement pour vous, votre epoux, vos enfants, et tout ce qui peut vous interesser vous seront mieux connus."--ARNETH, p. 120. Leopold had been for many years absent from Germany, being at Florence as Grand Duke of Tuscany. [10] Feuillet de Conches, iii., p. 260. [11] As early as the second week in October (La Marck, p. 81, seems to place the conversation even before the outrages of October 5th and 6th; but this seems impossible, and may arise from his manifest desire to represent Mirabeau as unconnected with those horrors), Mirabeau said to La Marck, "Tout est perdu, le roi et la reine y periront et vous le verrez, la populace battra leurs cadavres." [12] Lese-nation. CHAPTER XXVII. [1] Arthur Young's "Journal," January 4th, 1790, p. 251. [2] Feuillet de Conches, i., p. 315. [3] "Le mal deja fait est bien grave
