From its branches depended escutcheons, helmets, and blue ribbons interwoven with chains. This tree rose out of a wood-pile on which lay a heap of crowns, tiaras, cardinals' hats. Saint Peter's keys, ermine man- tles, doctors' caps, and titles of nobility. A royal crown was among them, and beside it the escutcheons of the Count de Provence, the Count d'Artois, and the Prince de Cond^. The organizers of the fete hoped to induce the King himself to set fire to this pile, covered with feudal emble...ms. A figure repre- senting Liberty, and another representing Law, were placed on casters by the aid of which the two divini- ties were to be rolled about. Fifty-four pieces of cannon bordered the Champ-de-Mars on the side next the Seine, and the Phrygian cap crowned every tree. THE FETE OF THE FEDERATION IN 1792, 251 At eleven in the morning the King and his cortege arrived at the Military School. A detachment of cavalry opened the march. There were three car- riages. In the first were the Prince de Poix, the Marquis de Breze, and the Count de Saint-Priest ; in the second, the Queen's ladies, Mesdames de Tarente, de la Roche- Aymon, de Maille, and de Mackau; in the third, the King, the Queen, their two children, and Madame Elisabeth.
