Whilst the deputation made these unsuccessful attempts, some emissaries from the Marseillais who had penetrated to the garden, were haranguing the Swiss soldiers, and incit- ing them not to fire upon the people, who only wanted to be free and republican like themselves. Suddenly, repeated blows were heard at the royal gate. Roederer ran to the wicket himself. A young artillery officer presented himself, pale and haggard, and in a state of great excitement. He said that his troop demanded a clea...r passage across the garden in order to blockade the Assembly until they should pass a decree for the king's dethronement " Liberty is stifled by the machinations of the court!" he exclaimed. "Let us pass. We wish to do no harm. We are all citi- zens like yourselves. " After a hasty and excited dialogue between the young officer and the magistrates, during which the blows redoubled, the gates shook, and the roars of the multitude without increased in violence, the magis- trates retired, and the hour of the catastrophe approached.
