to be let in, and they entered, notwithstanding the
National Guard, who were there in force, but made no resistance,
though it is said they were disposed to it if they had been
encouraged. They remained three hours in the King's room, loading
him with insults, and demanding the recal of the Jacobin Ministers,
and the sanction for the two decrees. They put the red cap upon his
head, upon the Queen's, and upon the Dauphin. They were at length
persuaded to disperse by Petion telling them that they had
sufficiently manifested their patriotism. The King is said to have
behaved with uncommon firmness and apparent indifference. The whole
was expected, and had been announced for a week, and you see how it
was met. The Jacobins feel it a complete triumph, and talk of
sending La Fayette to Orleans.

Luckner has taken possession of Menin, Ypres, and Courtrai, the
latter after some resistance, in which the Austrians lost about one
hundred men. An action was expected every hour.

LORD GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

July 2nd, 1792.
MY DEAREST BROTHER,

I have a whole budget of news for you, but I must begin with what
interests myself most, which is, the thanking you again for your
kindness to your _future sister_. I have told her of it, and she
feels it as she ought to do. You know I do not deal much in long
speeches, nor do you much delight in hearing or reading them; but I
am sure that you do me the justice to believe me not the less
sensible of all your affection to me, which I have experienced in
every stage of my life, and most of all on the most interesting
occasion of it. I feel that it is to you I owe my happiness.

When you give your directions to Froggatt, will you be so good as
to bid him put in Lord Camelford's name as the trustee.

Now for news. The "Gazette," which Goddard sends you, will tell you
of Lord Cornwallis's victory. We have this morning a letter from
Brooke at St. Helena, enclosing a "Madras Courier," with the
account of a second victory, followed by a peace, in which Tippoo
stipulates to cede _half his dominions_ to the allies, and to pay
them L3,500,000 for the expenses of the war, and to give his two
sons for hostages. Nothing can appear more complete; but I wait
with impatience for Lord Cornwallis's despatches,
