On Thursday last, the commissioners in the service of the temple, proposed to the unfortunate queen, her children, and her sister in-law, to quit their apartment, and breathe a little air in the garden of their prison. Marie Antoinette, in the name of the party, replied, that they could not, without being exposed to the most painful sensations, view the door through which the deceased Louis the 16th had so lately passed to meet his fate: they therefore preferred keeping their chamber some time longer. They were next invited to ascend to the platform of the great tower; an invitation they also declined, and contented themselves with taking the necessary exercise in their apartment. For these few days last past, they have been somewhat more tranquil than heretofore.
