noon
There were several crushed , and as a consequence when the dragoons , led by the Prince de Lambesc , advanced into the Tuileries Gardens , the outraged crowd met them with a fusillade of stones and bottles . Lambesc gave the order to fire . There was a stampede . Pouring forth from the Tuileries through the city went those indignant people with their story of German cavalry trampling upon women and children , and uttering now in grimmest earnest the call to arms , raised at noon by Desmoulins in the Palais Royal . The victims were taken up and borne thence , and amongst them was Bertrand des Amis , himself -- like all who lived by the sword -- an ardent upholder of the noblesse , trampled to death under hooves of foreign horsemen launched by the noblesse and led by a nobleman . To Andre-Louis , waiting that evening on the second floor of No. 13 Rue du Hasard for the return of his friend and master , four men of the people brought that broken body of one of the earliest victims of the Revolution that was now launched in earnest . The ferment of Paris which , during the two following days , resembled an armed camp rather than a city , delayed the burial of Bertrand des Amis until the Wednesday of that eventful week .
