He encloses five of the last newspapers to inform TJ of the subversion of the constitution, the union of the legislative and executive powers in the National Assembly, the suspension of the king, and the proposal for a national convention—the result of which changes it is impossible to predict. A dreadful massacre at Paris on 10 August, occasioned by Lafayette’s acquittal by a very great majority of the National Assembly, resulted in the deaths of 1,200 to 1,500 people, though details are still unknown here. Paris is now reported to be calm and the country in general tranquil, but it is feared the generals of the army will retire and the regular troops will refuse to act.
