of Marie Antoinette, the _Siege of Thionville_, the _Offering to Liberty_, _Telemachus_, in which "_la Citoyenne Perignon_" was to appear--a forced performance--only produced 3,251 livres. On Friday, the 18th of October, the next day but one after this horrible catastrophe, _Armide_ and the _Offering to Liberty_--a forced performance and something more--produced 2,641 livres, which would have filled about a third of the house."[69] The 10th August, 1792, was the last day of the French monarchy. On the Sunday previous, during the Vespers said at the Chapel of the Tuileries in presence of the king, the singers with one accord tripled the sound of their voices when they came to the following verse in the _Magnificat_: _Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles_. Indignant at their audacity, the royalists thundered forth the _Domine salvum fac regem_, adding these words with increased energy and enthusiasm, _et reginam_! The greatest excitement and agitation prevailed in the Chapel during the rest of the service. To conclude the list of musical performances which have derived a gloomy celebrity from their connexion with the last days of Louis XVI., I may reproduce the programme issued by the directors of the Opéra National, on the first anniversary of his execution, 21st January, 1794.
