March 28.
It appears that the king did not determine to quit Paris until the last moment, and that badly informed of the dispositions of the army and people, he had been buoyed up by hope until the moment of his departure, for all his little moveables have been found in his apartments.
On his table was a portfolio, containing his correspondence with the Duchess of Angouleme for many years; in his drawers, his correspondence with Louis XVI.—some familiar correspondences with many ladies; some medals which he was in the habit of carrying about with him; daily reports on current affairs; and many other things calculated to compromit many individuals, if the present government had not assumed as a principle, to be ignorant of every thing that has been done for ten months past.
