members should follow him, and resume their deliberations the next day.  The Noblesse followed him, and so did the Clergy, except about thirty, who, with the Tiers, remained in the room and entered into deliberation.  They protested against what the King had done, adhered to all their former proceedings, and resolved the inviolability of their own persons.  An officer came twice to order them out of the room, in the King’s name, but they refused to obey.  In the afternoon, the people, uneasy, began to assemble in great numbers in the courts and vicinities of the palace.  The Queen was alarmed, and sent for Mr. Necker.  He was conducted amidst the shouts and acclamations of the multitude, who filled all the apartments of the palace.  He was a few minutes only with the Queen, and about three quarters of an hour with the King.  Not a word has transpired of what passed at these interviews.  The King was just going to ride out.  He passed through the crowd to his carriage, and into it, without being in the least noticed.  As Mr. Necker followed him, universal acclamations were raised of ’Vive Monsieur Necker, vive le sauveur de la France opprimee.’  He was conducted back to his house with the same demonstrations of affection and anxiety.  About two hundred deputies of the Tiers, catching the enthusiasm of the moment, went to his house, and extorted from him a promise that he would not resign.  These circumstances must wound the heart of the King, desirous as he is, to possess the affections of his subjects.  As soon as the proceedings at Versailles were known at Paris, a run began on the caisse d’escompte, which is the first symptom always of the public diffidence and alarm.  It is the less in condition to meet the run, as Mr. Necker has been forced to make free with its funds, for the daily support of the government.  This is the state of things as late as I am able to give them with certainty, at this moment.  My letter not being to go off till to-morrow evening, I shall go to Versailles to-morrow, and be able to add the transactions of this day and to-morrow.

June 25.  Just returned from Versailles, I am enabled to continue my narration.  On the 24th, nothing remarkable passed, except an attack by the mob of Versailles on the Archbishop of Paris, who had been one of the instigators of the court, to the proceedings of the, seance royale.  They threw mud and stones at his carriage, broke the windows of it, and he in a fright promised to join the Tiers.

This day (the 25th) forty-eight of the Nobles have joined the Tiers.  Among these is the Duke d’Orleans.  The Marquis de la Fayette could not be of the number, being restrained by his instructions.  He is writing to his constituents, to change his instructions or to accept his resignation.  There are with the Tiers now one hundred and sixty-four members of the Clergy, so that the common chamber consists of upwards of eight hundred members.  The minority
