The market-place is only worthy of mention as introducing the price of provisions. Moulins is as cheap as Tours: beef, and mutton, and veal, are plentiful; vegetables scarcely cost any thing, and fuel is very moderate. Fruit is so cheap as scarcely to be sold, and very good; eggs two dozen for an English sixpence; poultry abundant, and about sixpence a fowl.
"Gentlemen," said the Abbé, on reaching his own house, where Talleyrand and the others expected him and it is easy so imagine the sensations with which Sieyes spoke the words, and Talleyrand heard them "Gentlemen, I perceive that you have got a master. Buonaparte can do, and will do, everything himself. Buonaparte sent word next morning to Gohier and Moulins that they were at liberty.
He placed himself, according to the common phrase of the time, astride of the Constitution of the year III.; and as his steed made a sad stumble, he fell with it. It was a singular circumstance which prevented the two Directors Gohier and Moulins from defending their beloved Constitution.
The ancient chateau now used as a prison and the Jacquemart or clock tower are rare old bits of architecture, of themselves worth the journey to Moulins. Jacquemart, it may be here explained, is a corruption of Jacques Marques, the name of a famous Flemish clockmaker who lived in the fourteenth century.
Towards three o'clock about sixty Representatives were meeting at No. 10, Rue des Moulins, in the large drawing-room, out of which opened a little room where the Committee of Resistance was in session.

It was performed by Moulins.
Arthur Young, in the height of the agitations of the Constituent Assembly, found himself at Moulins, the capital of the Bourbonnais, and on the great post-road to Italy. He went to the best coffee-house in the town, and found as many as twenty tables spread for company, but as for a newspaper, he says he might as well have asked for an elephant.
Just before we left Paris I wrote to my aunt Jane, and from Marseilles to Bummy, but from neither have I heard yet. With best love to dearest Mr. Martin, ever both my dear kind friends, Your affectionate and grateful BA. To Miss Mitford Moulins: October 2, 1846.
An aristocratic place, means an Ultramontane place, and every third man you meet in Moulins wears a soutane. What so many cures, Jesuits and Christian Brothers can find to do passes the ordinary comprehension. However interesting twins may be in the human family, monumental duality is far from successful.
The wounded man, wrapped up in a large shepherd's cloak, occasionally opened his dull, vacant eyes, which seemed stupid with astonishment, like those of animals wounded by a sportsman, which fall at his feet, more than half dead already, stupefied with terror and surprise.
