_La nation, la loi, le roi_; this is also obliterated with a pen, and instead is written: _Liberte, Egalite_ _Au nom de la nation_. A tous officiers, civils et militaires, charges de surveiller et de maintenir l'ordre public dans les differents departemens du Royaume, et a tous autres qu'il appartiendra il est ordonne de laisser librement passer _T---- anglais retournant en angleterre, porteur d'un certificat de son ambassadeur_.[33] Sans donner ni souffrir qu'il lui soit donne aucun empechement, le present passe-port valable pour _quinze jours_ seulement. Donne a _Paris_ le 16 aoust l'an 4 de la liberte _Vu a la Mairie le_ 17 _aoust_ 1792. _L'an 4e de la liberte._ _Petion_. [Note 33: What is here in italics is in manuscript in the original. There is no _Monsieur_ nor _Madame_, the word _anglais_ showing the gender of the person to whom the pass was granted, and is sufficient for the purpose.] Here is an impression, in red wax, of the arms of Paris, which are _gules_, a three-mast ship in full sail, a chief _azur_, _seme_ with _fleurs de lis, or_, the shield environed with oak branches and the cap of liberty as a crest. The inscription underneath is _Mairie de Paris_, 1789. On one side of this seal is an escutcheon with the arms of France, crowned, and over the crown there is a dash with a pen. And underneath, Gratis. Le ministre des affaires etrangeres. _Vu passer Abbeville en Le Brun_. _Conseil permanent le_ 20 _Aoust_ 1792. Signed by a municipal officer. And on the back of the passport, _Vu au comite de la section poissonniere_ _ce 18 aoust_ 1792. Signed by two commissaries at the barriers of St. Denis, at Paris. _Permis d'embarquer a Calais le 22 aoust_ 1792. Signed by a Secretary. MISCELLANIES. DANCING. POULTRY. TAVERNS. WIG. SOME days before the demolition of the statue of _Henri_ IV. on the _Pont-neuf_, there was a flag placed near that statue, on which was painted _citoyens la Patrie est en danger_; (citizens, the mother-country is in danger) and it still remained there when I came away. On the Monday after _the_ Friday, I saw a paper on the walls, among those published by authority, wherein a person acquainted the public, that on the preceding Saturday, in consequence of some suspicions which had been entertained of his principles, his house had been visited by above thirty thousand persons;[34] and that notwithstanding masons and smiths had been employed in pulling down, breaking open and scrutinizing, the people had _found nothing_ to criminate him, and he had _found nothing_ missing in consequence of their scrutiny. I had the pleasure of reading this aloud to an assemblage of elderly ladies, not one of whom could see to read it, as it was placed out of their _focus_, or too high, as they said. [Note 34: _Poco mas o menos_,(a little more or less) as the Spaniards say when they are complimented with _Viva V. S. mil anos_ (may you live a thousand years.)]
