THE object of this fourth appeal was to know whether the
execution of Louis might be deferred; 310 were for respite, and 380
against it. Thus, by a majority of 70 votes, it was decreed, that
the sentence against Louis XVI. should be executed without delay.
THE EXECUTION OF LOUIS XVI.
21st JANUARY, 1793.
THE minister of justice and the heads of the administrative
corps, having proceeded to the Temple on Sunday the 20th of January,
about four in the evening, notified to Louis the warrant for his
execution. "I demand," said the King, "a respite of three days to
"prepare myself for appearing before God. To assist me in this work,
"I desire to have Mr. Edgeworth, (an Irish clergyman) with whom I may
"freely communicate. I desire that he may be secured from all
"uneasiness, or apprehension, on account of this charitable office
"which he shall perform for me. I desire to be relieved from that
"perpetual watch which the council-general has set over me for some
"days. I demand in this interval the privilege of seeing my family
"when I shall desire it, and without witnesses. I could also wish,
"that the Convention would, as speedily as may be, set about
"determining the fate of my family, and permit them to see each other
"freely and commodiously, when they shall think proper.
"I recommend to the liberality of the nation all those persons who
"have been attached to me. Among my pensioners there are many aged
"men, women, and children, who have no other means of subsistence."
Of all there requisitions Louis obtained only that of seeing his
family without witnesses. It was the first time since his
imprisonment. The interview lasted two hours. It is impossible to
express the horror of the moment, when he was obliged to tear himself
away from them. On his return to his apartment, the King passed a
almost the whole of the night in prayer. He then laid down and slept
a few hours, and early in the morning betook himself again to prayer.
The 21st of January, at half past eight o'clock, Santerre, the
commandant-general, came to signify to Louis the order for his going
to execution. Having requested three minutes to speak with his
confessor, he then turned to Santerre, and told him that he was ready
to follow him.
The King crossed the first court of the Temple on foot; he then
entered the coach of Pethion, the mayor of Paris, with his Confessor
and two Gendarmes. His route lay along, the Boulevards, which were
lined with above two hundred thousand men in arms. All the way Louis
was deeply engaged in reading the prayers appointed for persons at
the point of death.
Being, arrived at the Place de Louis XV. which was the place of
execution, about ten o'clock in the morning, he alighted from the
carriage with calmness, took off his clothes himself, remaining in
his white under-waistcoat, untied his cravat, and opened the collar
of his shirt; he then threw himself upon his knees to receive the
last benediction of his Confessor, got up immediately after, and
ascended the scaffold alone. At that moment his Confessor cried out
to him, "Son of St. Louis, you are going up to Heaven!" [Footnote;
Other accounts state, that it was when the King had just prepared
himself for the stroke of the fatal instrument, that Mons. Edgeworth,
his confessor, called out (in the imperative) with a loud voice,
"Enfant de Saint Louis, montez au Ciel." "Son of St. Louis, mount up
"to Heaven."]
Far from opposing those who came to cut off his hair, and bind his
hands, " Do with me," said he, "what you will, it is the last
"sacrifice." He then made a motion with his hand to obtain
"silence.—"I die perfectly innocent of all the pretended crimes laid
"to my charge—I forgive all those who have had any hand in my
"misfortunes, and I pray that my blood may be of use in restoring
"happiness to France—and you, unhappy people!" ......
At these words, the unfeeling Santerre gave orders that the drums
should beat, crying out to the King, "that he had not brought him
"there to declaim, but to die." At that instant his head was severed
from his body! ......
The corpse was immediately conveyed to the Magdalene
burying-ground, and thrown into a pit twelve feet deep, into which a
considerable quantity of quicklime was cast.
It is said, that after crying out, "Vive la Nation!"
"Vive la Republique!" some volunteers dipped their pikes, and
others their handkerchiefs, in the blood of the victim. One person
alone had the courage to cry out, Grace, and was instantly cut down
with a sabre.
Thus died Louis XVI. King of France and Navarre. He was born the
23d of August, 1754, ascended the throne the 10th of May, 1774, and
reigned eighteen years and three months.
The following dates relative to the destiny of this prince have
been brought together and contrasted.
21st April, 1770, Marriage of Louis at Vienna, and delivery of the
ring.
21st June, 1770, Great rejoicings at Paris on account of his
marriage.
21st January, 1772, Festival doings in the city on account of the
birth of the first Dauphin.
21st June, 1791, The King's departure, or rather flight to
Varennes.
21st September, 1792, Abolition of Royalty.
21st January, 1793, Louis beheaded.
THE LAST WILL OF LOUIS XVI.
IN the name of the most holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
this day, the 25th of December, 1792, I, Louis XVI. by name, King of
France, having been four months shut up with my family in the Tower
of the Temple, at Paris, by those who were my subjects, and
deprived of all communication whatever, even, since the 11th of this
month, with my family; being moreover involved in a trial, of which
it is impossible to foresee the issue, on account of the passions of
men, and for which there is no pretence nor motive in any existing
law, having none but God for witness to my thoughts, and to whom I
can address myself, I here declare, in his presence, my last will and
sentiments.
I leave my soul to GOD my creator; I beseech him to receive it in
his mercy; not to judge it according to its merits, but to those of
our Lord Jesus Christ, who offered himself as a sacrifice to GOD his
Father for us men, unworthy of it as we are, and I more than any.
I die in the faith of our holy mother the catholic, apostolic, and
Roman Church, which derives her powers in an uninterrupted succession
from St. Peter, to whom Jesus Christ had entrusted them; I firmly
believe and acknowledge all that is contained in the apostles'
creed, the commandments of God, and of the church; the sacraments and
mysteries, such the Catholic Church teaches, and has always taught
them; I never pretended, to be a judge of the different modes of
explaining the dogmas which divide the church of Jesus Christ; but I
have always trusted, and shall always trust, if God grants me life,
to the decisions that the ecclesiastical superiors, together with the
holy catholic church, give and shall give, according to the
discipline of the church since Jesus Christ. I pity with all my
heart our brethren who may be in error, but I do not pretend to judge
them; nor do I love them the less in Jesus Christ, according to what
christian charity teaches us, and I pray God to forgive me all my
sins: I have scrupulously sought to know them, to detest them, and to
humble myself in his presence. Not being permitted to make use of
the ministry of a catholic priest, I pray God to receive the
confession which I have made to him of them; and above all, my
sincere repentance for having put my name (though against my will) to
acts that may be contrary to the discipline and faith of the catholic
church, to which I have always been sincerely and faithfully united.
I pray God to accept my firm resolution, if he grants me life, to
make use as soon as possible of the ministry of a catholic priest,
that I may accuse myself of all my sins, and receive the sacrament of
penance. I beseech all those whom I may have inadvertently offended,
(for I do not remember to have knowingly given offence to any person)
and those to whom I may have given bad examples, or caused scandal,
to forgive the injuries they think I may have done them.
I implore all charitable persons to join their prayers to mine, to
obtain from God the pardon of my sins; I, with all my heart, forgive
those who are become my enemies, although I have not given them any
reason to be so; and I beseech God to forgive them, as well as those
who, through a false or mistaken zeal, have brought many misfortunes
on me.
I recommend to God, my wife and children; my sisters, my aunts, my
brothers, and all those who are attached to me, either by the ties of
blood, or in any other way whatever. I particularly beseech God to
cast a merciful eye on my wife, my children, and my sister, who have
long suffered with me, to support them by his grace, if they should
happen to lose me, and as long as they remain in this perishable
world.
I recommend my children to my wife; I never doubted her maternal
tenderness for them. I above all recommend to her to make them good
christians, and honest people; to make them consider the grandeurs of
this world (if they be condemned to possess them) only as dangerous
and perishable possessions, and to direct their attention to
Eternity, the only solid and durable glory. I beg of my sister to
continue her tenderness to my children, and to be a mother to them,
if they should have the misfortune of losing her who is such.
I intreat my wife to forgive me all the afflictions she suffers
for my sake, and the sorrows I may have given her in the course of
our union; as she may be certain that I have no fault to find with
her, even where she may think she has cause to reproach herself.
I earnestly recommend to my children, after what they owe to God,
(which is the first of all duties) to live always in harmony with one
another, to be submissive and obedient to their mother, and grateful
to her for all the care and trouble she takes for them out of regard
to my memory. I desire them to consider my sister as their second
mother.
I recommend to my Son, if he has the misfortune to become King, to
remember that he owes himself entirely to his fellow citizens; that
he must forget all hatred and resentment, and particularly all that
relates to the misfortunes and afflictions that I endure; that he can
only make the people happy by reigning according to the laws, but at
the same time, that a King cannot make himself respected, and do all
the good he wishes, without having the necessary authority; and that
otherwise, being restrained in his operations, and not inspiring
respect, he is rather hurtful than useful.
I recommend to my son to take as much care of all those persons
who were attached to me, as the circumstances he may be in will allow
him; to recollect that it is a sacred debt which I have contracted
towards the children or the relations of those who have died for me,
and those who suffer for my sake. I know that there are several
persons among those who ought to have been attached to me, who have
not acted towards me as they ought, and have even been ungrateful
towards me; but I forgive them, (often in time of trouble and
confusion, men are not masters of themselves) and I beg my son, if he
finds the opportunity, to think only of their misfortunes.
I wish I could here give a testimony of my gratitude to those who
have shown a true and disinterested affection for me. If, on the one
hand, I have been sensibly affected with the ingratitude and
disloyalty of those, to whom I had shewn at all times only kindness
to them, their relations, or friends; on the other hand, I have had
the consolation to receive proofs of disinterested affection and
regard from several others. I beg them to accept my best thanks.
In the present state of things, I should fear to expose them if I
spoke more explicitly; but I particularly recommend to my son to
embrace every opportunity of discovering them.
Nevertheless, I think I should wrong the national feeling, if I
were not openly to recommend to my son Messieurs De Chamilly and Hue,
whose sincere affection for me induced them to shut themselves up
with me in this melancholy abode, and who ran the risque (sic) of
being the unfortunate victims of their attachment. I also recommend
Cleri, with whose attentions I have had all reasons to be satisfied
ever since he has been with me. As he is the person who has remained
with me to the last, I request Messieurs de la Commune to give him my
clothes, my books, and the other trifles which have been deposited at
the Council of the Commune.
I also very willingly forgive those who guarded me, for their ill
treatment, and the constraint which they thought necessary to keep me
under. I have found some feeling and compassionate minds; may they
enjoy in their hearts the pleasure that their turn of thinking must
afford them.
I request Messieurs De Malsherbes, Tronchet, and De Seze, to
receive my best thanks, and assurances of my gratitude for all the
care and attention they have shown me.
I conclude with declaring before GOD, being ready to appear before
him, that I cannot reproach myself with any of those crimes that have
been laid to my charge.

1792.
