   <p>On the same day (11th August), at nine in the evening, I returned to =
the Feuillans. I found there were orders at all the gates forbidding my bei=
ng admitted. I claimed a right to enter by virtue of the first permission w=
hich had been given to me; I was again refused. I was told that the Queen h=
ad as many people as were requisite about her. My sister was with her, as w=
ell as one of my companions, who came out of the prisons of the Abbaye on t=
he 11th. I renewed my solicitations on the 12th; my tears and entreaties mo=
ved neither the keepers of the gates, nor even a deputy, to whom I addresse=
d myself. I soon heard of the removal of Louis XVI. and his family to the T=
emple. I went to Potion accompanied by M. Valadon, for whom I had procured =
a place in the post-office, and who was devoted to me. He determined to go =
up to Potion alone; he told him that those who requested to be confined cou=
ld not be suspected of evil designs, and that no political opinion could af=
ford a ground of objection to these solicitations. Seeing that the well-mea=
ning man did not succeed, I thought to do more in person; but Petion persis=
ted in his refusal, and threatened to send me to La Force. Thinking to give=
 me a kind of consolation, he added I might be certain that all those who w=
ere then with Louis XVI. and his family would not stay with them long. And =
in fact, two or three days afterwards the Princesse de Lamballe, Madame de =
Tourzel, her daughter, the Queen' s first woman, the first woman of the Dau=
phin and of Madame, M. de Chamilly, and M. de Hue were carried off during t=
he night and transferred to La Force. After the departure of the King and Q=
ueen for the Temple, my sister was detained a prisoner in the apartments th=
eir Majesties had quitted for twenty-four hours. From this time I was reduc=
ed to the misery of having no further intelligence of my august and unfortu=
nate mistress but through the medium of the newspapers or the National Guar=
d, who did duty at the Temple. The King and Queen said nothing to me at the=
 Feuillans about the portfolio which had been deposited with me; no doubt t=
hey expected to see me again. The minister Roland and the deputies composin=
g the provisional government were very intent on a search for papers belong=
ing to their Majesties. They had the whole of the Tuileries ransacked. The =
infamous Robespierre bethought himself of M. Campan, the Queen' s private s=
ecretary, and said that his death was feigned; that he was living unknown i=
n some obscure part of France, and was doubtless the depositary of all the =
important papers. In a great portfolio belonging to the King there had been=
 found a solitary letter from the Comte d' Artois, which, by its date, and =
the subjects of which it treated, indicated the existence of a continued co=
rrespondence. (This letter appeared among the documents used on the trial o=
f Louis XVI.) A former preceptor of my son' s had studied with Robespierre;=
 the latter, meeting him in the street, and knowing the connection which ha=
d subsisted between him and the family of M. Campan, required him to say, u=
pon his honour, whether he was certain of the death of the latter. The man =
replied that M. Campan had died at La Briche in 1791, and that he had seen =
him interred in the cemetery of Epinay. &quot; well, then,&quot; resumed Ro=
bespierre, &quot; bring me the certificate of his burial at twelve to-morro=
w; it is a document for which I have pressing occasion.&quot; Upon hearing =
the deputy' s demand I instantly sent for a certificate of M. Campan' s bur=
ial, and Robespierre received it at nine o' clock the next morning. But I c=
onsidered that, in thinking of my father-in-law, they were coming very near=
 me, the real depositary of these important papers. I passed days and night=
s in considering what I could do for the best under such circumstances.</p>=
