Lamoignon is the hated of Parlements: Comte de Brienne is Brother to the Cardinal Archbishop.

The 24th of August has been; and the 14th September is not yet, when they two, as their great Principal had done, descend,--made to fall soft, like him.

The Basoche rejoices aloud, that the foe of Parlements is fallen; Nobility, Gentry, Commonalty have rejoiced; and rejoice.

Nay now, with new emphasis, Rascality itself, starting suddenly from its dim depths, will arise and do it,--for down even thither the new Political Evangel, in some rude version or other, has penetrated.

It is Monday, the 14th of September 1788: Rascality assembles anew, in great force, in the Place Dauphine; lets off petards, fires blunderbusses, to an incredible extent, without interval, for eighteen hours.
