Madame Elizabeth, with her saint-like spirit and her heaven-directed thoughts, was ever unmindful 172 MARIA ANTOINETTE* of her own personal danger in her devotion to her beloved brother. The king hoped that the soldiers who were stationed as a guard within the inclosures of the palace would be able to protect them from violence. The gates leading to the Place du Carrousel were soon shattered beneath the blows of axes, and the human tor- rent poured in with the resistlessness of a flood. The sol...diers very deliberately shook the priming from their guns, as the emphatic expression to the mob that they had nothing to fear from them, and the artillerymen coolly directs their pieces against the palace. Axes and iron bars were immediately leveled at the doors, and they flew from their hinges; and the drunken and infuriated rabble, with clubs, and pistols, and daggers, poured, an intermin- able throng, through the halls and apartments where kings, for ages, had reigned in inap- proachable pomp and power.
