The assault of the mob on the royal palace on the twentieth of June, led naturally to the greater violence of the tenth of August The suspension of Pétion from the mayoralty of Paris, by the King, for his ccwnplicity in, or negligence during, the June riot — ^the debates re- sulting therefrom — ^his triumphant restoration to office — t...he aj^roach of the foreign armies — ^the proclsunation of the danger of the country — ^the arrival of liie bands of revolutionary ruffians from Marseilles-^every thing con- tributed to increase from hour to hour the anarchical fury of the peopïe of Paris.
