<HEAD><HI>Bloody News from <HI>PARIS; OR,</HI></HI> A Relation of the Tragical End of &s;ome Per&s;ons of Quality at <HI>PARIS,</HI> who on the 8th. of this in&s;tant <HI>Augu&s;t, 1689.</HI> &s;uffer'd for their Witty Zeal the &s;evere Revenge of <HI>Lewis</HI> the mo&s;t Chri&s;tian King. <DATE><ADD>25. Aug. 1689.</ADD></DATE></HEAD>
<P>ABout the latter end of the la&s;t Month three Per&s;ons of Quality were &s;eized and committed to Pri&s;on at <HI>Paris,</HI> for a bold Attempt upon the Glory of <HI>Lewis</HI> the Great, the French King, e&s;pecially at &s;uch a tickli&s;h juncture of time as this is, when prophetick Hints are very ungrateful, now his ambitious De&s;igns &s;eem to incline to a Period.</P>
<P>They were, the Baron of <HI>Killing&s;ang,</HI> a German; with the Mar|quis <HI>de Pi&s;&s;entieux,</HI> and Mon&s;ieur <HI>de Feuillages,</HI> both Frenchmen; and their Crime no le&s;s than the Pa&s;quinading the King out of his Title to his Crown, by comparing him with two other Competitors: The Pa&s;quil was in two Languages, <HI>French</HI> and <HI>Latin,</HI> which for the &s;atisfaction of the Engli&s;h Reader, is now by an ingenious Pen tran&s;lated into the third; all which are here &s;ubjoined.</P>
<P>For the unpardonable Offence of being the Authors, and of hav|ing affix'd this Satyr upon the French King's Statue, erected by the Duke <HI>de Feuillade</HI> in the <HI>Place des Victoires</HI> at <HI>Paris:</HI> The three Gentle|men were &s;hortly after brought to a Tryal, and after a mo&s;t &s;evere Enquiry and Examination, by way of the mo&s;t exqui&s;ite Torture, two of them, to wit, the Marquis <HI>de Pi&s;&s;entieux,</HI> and the Baron of <HI>Killing&s;ang,</HI> were convicted and &s;entenced to Death, the third being acquitted for want of the lea&s;t Proof, which in that Ca&s;e would have been &s;ufficient.</P>
<P>According to the Sentence pronounced again&s;t the&s;e two unfor|tunate, though well-meaning Gentlemen, they were on the 8th. of this in&s;tant <HI>Augu&s;t</HI> hanged in the place where they had affronted the King in his Statue, and afterwards quartered, their Quarters being ordered to be publickly expo&s;ed a Fortnight to the view of the People, in the Avenues of the place, which is a Spectacle &s;o nau|&s;eous, that 'tis &s;uppo&s;ed, few will be invited to gaze at it.</P>
