There is clearly a mistake in the dcnti-!

there is every probability that he will

A VISIT TO MARAT.

One <>f the Journals in which Marat
preached murder and destruction, happen-;

which I learned my nomination to the'
Convention. .Marat denounced to all
Frai ce the choice of my Depertiuc nt a* a
crime; ami lavished on me peiimnaHy the
most offensive language. I determined
to see hirn.
I procured his address, which was Ao.
2. Rue St. Ilonore.
Having ascended a dark winding stair
rase) 1 knocked at -be door on the fouith
story. and a feeble, falierirg voice, likethat
of an old woman, inquired who I was,
"Deputy to the National Convention/-' 1
replied. I then beard the rattling of a
bunch of keys, and after several lucks
were turned, the door opened.
"Mr. Marat, I presume?" said I; for
tl.e term citizen was not then in n?c.
"My name is Marat," replied a man
not tr.ore than five teel high, dressed in
a ragged cloak and dirty night rap. His
hair was t ed with a piece of park thread,
hisltcrk enrirchd b) a pocket handkerchief,
his worsted stocking* were ui gartered,
and his chin was overgrown by a
dirty beard. His eyebrows and eyelashes 1
were of a light brown, anil bis head was
disproportionab!) l?rj?e. <
I could scarcely believe my eyes ? J
Surely litis cannot be the man of Saint ]
Sulpicc. thought I. I MMfKctcd ihtre J
a as sor.'.e mistake. and I again said, iu a 1

turmtofu consisted ot a miserable bed, a 1
d? mroti-red with papers, jwns a ink, '
few wretched chair*, and a vrot .. lime 1

Soth was the dwelling of the man who
spread terror throughout the capital.

person v hum he had come to visit. A* t
?uori a* he perceived me he politely stepped
aside. M.>rat offered nic a chair,'
triih the air of man impatient to bo rtJ I
of his visiter. I very coolly seated my-'
self and commenced the conversation.
* * .Marat's eyes glistened hke)
those of a hyena ready to c'ail upon her!
prey; and I know not what length his rage1
ini?-ht have carried Itim, had it not hecn{
f??r ihc * "f a dagger, w.??rh I, in cum*'
mon with other deputies of that tiutc, car- .
rip.I about mr, and wl?i? h i accidentally I
discovered in uiibuttcnuig my coat.
Tit" stranger. who observed Marat'
suddenly turn pale, approached u?, niid ].
having mode some excuse for interrupt- j
ing our cunt rrsatii n, he t< ok my hand and j
shook it with nn air of cordiality. I look '

end Mil as if petriheii in his rhair. The
stravgei e inducted me to the door, and
will, a polite bow. bade mc farewell.

to fay to each other? ?a> thr quo-lion |
several tinus nsked myself, as 1 descend*

When I reached the streets I found a;
eruwd of people assembled around the j
door. Two mt n had on their shoulders a
sort of hsiid-barrow, destined, as the) informed
in?, to carry Mmat in triumph
through the streets of Paris. Cries of
"Vitt Marat!" soon resounded on all
ides. The divinity speedily made his
appearance, and having placed himself in
his triumphal car, gate the signal for the
procession to move ?n.
Three dnvs after thts 1 happened to be
