Paris Diet Disruptions and Swindler Tales Reported
In Paris on November 18 the August Diet faced mockery and protests as a thief and swindler posed as a claimant to Louis XVs lineage and a prince figure. Louis XVI reportedly asked ministers to seek supplies to quell Dominguan fires, but the Diet dismissed the royal plea. A jokey crowd mocked the assembly saying only 200 members were honest while others were rogues, with bread prices rising and security tensions at the Tuileries culminating in a guard detaining a corporal named Breton who blocked the King's exit after nine.
