I was last night at the Jacobins, which I never saw so fully attended. M. Mirabeau took his leave ; accused by his constituents, he has solicited permission to go into Provence, from whence he came, to justify him- self. I never saw affliction of mind so visible on any face before. He appeared depressed even to despair ; all that boldness that hitherto characterised everj' word he uttered, and which a guilty security alone could produce, seemed to have forsaken him ; hopeless and fallen, he app...eared to have a presentiment of his approaching destiny, and he quitted the room as if he was to enter it no more. I followed him downstairs, and read him as he descended. Two months are almost elapsed since I vowed to myself never to exchange an- other word with him. If he returns again to the National Assembly, you may add another wonder to the existing seven. He is publicly reproached as the cause of the massacre lately committed at Aix, one of the murdered people being the lawyer of Madame de Mirabeau in a process against her hiisband.
