The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

They write from Paris, that there is not a day passes without numbers being taken up; since the Banishment of the Parliaments, no less than 1000 persons have been arrested for no other crime than speaking rather freely in behalf of that body against the King, so that the prisons are quite full; And what renders it still more melancholy is, that there are no judges to try them, that they may be dismissed or punished. Trade is quite at a stand. A young Clergyman has been taken into custody for writing a letter to his friend, in which he described the situation of the city, and foretold what he thought would be the consequence, which letter was intercepted. The Court of Alders have remonstrated twice to the King, but he will return no answer.
