Fire le Roi de Rome ! circu lated rapidly threnghont toe capital, and caused universal joy. It W:l4 again announced yeaterday evening, at six o'clock, by the discharge of cannon Artillery teas just beets placed at the barriers of Paris on the north and cast parts of the city ; the batteries are served by pnpils eft' the Polytechniesebool. The national guard of P..r s, the com panirs of the department of the Seine, do duty there jointly with e.f troops of the line. Chevinx de theze are placed across the avenue?' or toads which tel at the entrances of the capital,, the outer linulevralles are constantly much f ye:weded by the inhabitant. of Park.

Pseis Fes 13.—His Majesty King Joseph was yesterday revieo int; MO troops of the line, when be receive' the glorious news of the continued successes of the Emperor. At noon, the Staffs of the different cusps being assembled in a circle rosmd his M•fjesty, he read them the dispatches which he had jest received. This stews excited a degree of joy which it would be difficult to express. The sentiments of those brave soldiers, many of whom ate adorned with tier insignia of valour and honour, were displayed iu imaiiimous ce it's of " Five l'Emperenr." One might read upon their romiteinfeces the noble emulation which animated them, and their desire 40011 to share the fatigues, the flange's. and the glory of the %%airbus charged with the detilice of their country. The twos flew hone rank to rank, mid their joy rose to enthusiasm. A quarter of an hour afterwards. discharges of artillery announced to the capital this new success of our armies. bills contaicing the happy ne kv 4 were posted ap t and one might judge, from the thrcng of read.o.s, and from the joy which they expressed, of Ma attachment of the Parisians to their country and to the Government. The brilliant advantages gained by end armies. exciting the courage of all Fs'ellrillnetl, must prove to them that a nation is invincible when it is united to its Government. and &fillets its territory and its tumour.

It atinrils es extreme satisfaction to be aide' to give the inhald tants of the capital the honourable testimony that they have played under the present circumstances the most noble, the most truly French character. Nu sacrifice has seemed difficult to tittle whether they had to relieve the sick and the wounded, or watch over the preservation of the public tranquillity. The organisation of the national guard was execute:l with the most admirable promp titude. and the greatest order continued to prevail in this capital, This tine exempt(' is followed in all the department.. Never have the evies and the receipt of the contributioes been completed with snore ease and readiness ; every one is fitlly convinced that he ought to second the views of the Government. We-have to save our families, our properties, to maintain oar rights, to deliver our territory.
