Paris Seethes as Mob Seizes Armament and Surrenders Bastille
TheLondon Gazette reports a news swelled by riots after the dismissal of Mons. Neckar. A crowd seized the Hospital of Invalids, distributed arms, and the Bastille fell after a breach of faith by the guards. The Marquis de Launay and others were executed, the city decapitated heads on pikes. The King reassured citizens at Versailles and Paris with declarations of restoring order as militia leaders rise. The scene included about 140,000 armed Parisians and the King’s return to Hôtel de Ville. The Emperor of Austria shows slight health improvement at last.
