Paris Parliament Orders Immediate Departure to Troyes
In Paris on August 16 the Parliament dispersed members with orders to depart by carriage at once, quietly and without public alarm. The King’s financial retrenchments were revealed as five palaces to be sold or demolished and most royal residences in Paris to be disposed of except the Louvre and Tuileries. The Queen’s household costs were cut by nine hundred thousand livres yearly.
