Lettering

Scene near the National. Time-Night. The bodies of those who had just been destroyed before the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres, arrive in a cart, accompanied with a dense mass of the populace bearing torches, who chant in a mournful tone of voice "Mourir la patrie". Stopping and pointing to the mangled remains of their comrades, terrifically shriek aloud for vengeance
