On the 18th of January, 1649, I was admitted to a seat and vote inParliament, and signed an alliance with the chief leaders of the party:MM. De Beaufort, de Bouillon, de La Mothe, de Noirmoutier, de Vitri, deBrissac, de Maure, de Matha, de Cugnac, de Barnire, de Sillery, de LaRochefoucault, de Laigues, de Sevigny, de Bethune, de Luynes, deChaumont, de Saint-Germain, d'Action, and de Fiesque. On the 9th of February the Prince de Conde attacked and took Charenton. All this time the country people... were flocking to Paris with provisions, not only because there was plenty of money, but to enable the citizens tohold out against the siege, which was begun on the 9th of January. On the 12th of February a herald came with two trumpeters from the Courtto one of the city gates, bringing three packets of letters, one for theParliament, one for the Prince de Conti, and the third for the Hotel deVille. It was but the night before that a person was caught in the hallsdropping libels against the Parliament and me; upon which the Parliament, Princes, and city supposed that this State visit was nothing but anamusement of Cardinal Mazarin to cover a worse design, and thereforeresolved not to receive the message nor give the herald audience, but tosend the King's Council to the Queen to represent to her that theirrefusal was out of pure obedience and respect, because heralds are neversent but to sovereign Princes or public enemies, and that the Parliament, the Prince de Conti, and the city were neither the one nor the other.
