It looks as if Louis Seize had heard fome- thing of this defign, for he is not at all forry to get back again to Paris, and makes very light of his prefent ftate of captivity. They have not yet done with the Baftile at the play-houfes, they have brought it out again at the French thea- tre iu the Palais Roial, but without any great effect ; for as foon as the firing be- gins, every thing is enveloped in a cloud df fmoke, and you can fee nothing plain. J am furprifed they did not give us the rep...refentation of the ingenious manner in which the befiegers mafqued the cannon, that they brought to bear upon the caftle, and actually carried away by the firfl (hot the the chain that fupported the draw-bridge. They placed in the real fiege a cart full of ftraw and combuftible matter, at a pro- per diftance, before the cannon, which they fet on fire, and the fmoke prevented the befieged on the walls from feeing from what quarter the balls were directed. The oppofite parties of the King and the Jacobins balance one another for the moil part pretty exactly ; fometimes one gets the afcendant, fometimes the other.
