Henri made a sign to M. de Monsoreau, who approached. "How is it that you are at the Louvre, monsieur? I thought you at Vincennes." "Sire, the stag was turned off at seven o'clock this morning, but when noon came, and I had no news, I feared that some misfortune had happened to your majesty, and I returned." "Really!" "Sire, if I have done wrong, attribute it to an excess of devotion."

It was well he did so. For Colonel Hamilton, the British commander at Detroit, who had charge of the British forces throughout the vast region which Clark was trying to conquer, was a man of great energy. Soon after getting news of what Clark had done at Kaskaskia and Vincennes, he began preparing for an expedition against the latter place.

There is some reason for believing that the Prophet did not disobey his orders: the Deaf Chief was never seen again at Vincennes. Of the result of the mission of Tecumseh to the southern tribes, we have no detailed information.

It is said this evening that the troops will be withdrawn and return to the Bois de Vincennes. Some say that we have left 20,000 men at Villiers and Champigny; but I take it that our loss does not exceed 6,000 men. The general idea seems to be, that to-morrow we are to try to get out in another direction, either by Chatillon or Malmaison.

"To try and carry him off." "When?" "When he was returning from Vincennes." "Sacre!" "What did you say?" "Nothing. And you found out that?" "Yes." "And warned the king?" "Parbleu! that was what I came for." "Then you were the cause of the attempt failing?" "Yes, I." "Hang him!" murmured Borromée. "What did you say?" "I said that you have good eyes, my friend." "Bah!

There was but one more letter from her and that was dated at Vincennes, and merely said that she was well, and Guy must not feel anxious about her or take the trouble to come to see her, as she knew how valuable his time must be and would far rather he should devote himself to his business than bother about her.

As to the King of Navarre, for whose help Berenger had hoped, he had been all these months in the dishonouable thraldom of Catherine de Medicis, and was more powerless than ever at this juncture, having been implicated in Alencon's plot, and imprisoned at Vincennes.

He died at Vincennes the 9th of March 1661, aged 59 years, leaving as heir to his name and property the Alarquis de la Meilleray, who married his niece, and took the title of Duke of Mazarin. On his death, Louis XIV. and the court appeared in mourning, an honour not common, though Henry IV. had shewn it to the memory of Gabrielle d'Estrees.

The next morning, pale and tearless, Mary drove to Vincennes, where Cardinal Mazarin then was, and informed him that she was ready to marry Prince Colonna, provided the marriage could take place immediately, and that the cardinal would, without an hour's delay, write to the king to obtain his consent. The cardinal was rejoiced, and proceeded with energy.

From this time on, the Prophet was regarded with a just suspicion, and Harrison diligently regarded every movement of the new faith. His personal courage and activities save the frontier capital. The spring of 1810 opened with peril to Vincennes. The eternal vigilance of Harrison alone saved the day.
