No ceremonial had, however, been ordered. The public enthusiasm and 'brilliant testimonies of general joy alone embellished MsfmHyfeqivid. The King's carriage was preceded and followed by his military house. hold. Around it. we observed several Marshals, followed by a great number of General Officers, who had always accompanied the King. The inhabitants of Paris and the neighbouring towns covered the road. All, as well as tin! National Guard, had assumed the white cockade, making the air resound with cries of Vie(' lc Roi! Con:s. Chabrol, Prefect of the Seine, accompanied by the Muni- Body, waited the arrival of the liitvg at the ban of St. Denis. At four o'clock the acclamations of a►_ immense multitude anno►►nced the approach of a proces sion, which defiled amidst a thousand times repeated cries of Y ive lc Roi ! His Majesty's carnage having reached the external boundary of the city, the Prefect ap proached and addressed the King in the follow ing speech : St n e,—One hundred days have passed away since your Majesty, forced to tear yourself trout your dearest allectious, left your capital amidst tears and public consternation. In vain did the Municipal Body of your good city of Paris raise the unanim o ec cry of faithful subjects. They announced to all Frenchmen the imminent evils with which they were menaced. But there ale moments in which Heaven does not permit the voice of Magis trates to be heard. It was not in their power to .prevent an errer which has proved too fatal. The unchaining of the passions, the destructive disturbance of public tranquillity, the interruption of commerce and industry, the withdrawing of !Amor from agri colture, the draining of the treasury,—civil war and Imeign int a. skin, brought on by tl:e force of circnmstances, have at once afflicted your people. Heaven, Sire, is overcharged with venge ance, and restores you only to pardon us. Your Majesty inter poses between Europe and your people, to give them peace, end to reconcile them anew to all nations. Your Majesty w ill hasten to "Miler together and re-unite the dispersed elements of the poli tical body. Why cannot citizens, Frenchmen, united by the same character, and by the same language, restrain the p:issions which were appeased? Would these soldiers, so long glorious by their triumphs, now tear the bosom of their country, and become public enemies? No, Sire, the passions arc calmed in generous hearts, which are open to more gentle sentiments. Reason is heard, and love of our country awl our King will complete the rest. A period of v;i years, Inittked by so many vicissitudes, and li:,e all epochs of history, by glory , and t ever-es, cannot be preferred to the recollection of eight et willies, which have revolved crier th e sceptre of o u r iciur s , counted by long intervals of prosnerit,„ marked in all times by the moderation and the bounty of the 5.,- ver(Ons of your august dynasty. Frenchmen, in every part of the Kingdom, if the example of the capital, which has always beca of suelf great weight, can still guide you, you will see it on tic day which has followed these stotins, calm amidst the minim!, efinrts which have been made to agitate it; forgetting all discords, abjuring the spirit of party, and ha , teeing around a king, who, as ;I first pledge of his return, has proclaimed new guarantees tor yoot happiness, and the establishment of institutions calculated to sc eure a wise liberty and the welfare of France. Let us protest le, him, acrording to the wish of his heart, that the passions are abwit to be teatiquillised, that the children of the great family are abort to approach him, and will henceforth only have one rallyini: cry—lire le Roi ! lire Louis Xrlll. Virent les Bourbons ! Tho delivery of this speech was followed by the loude , t transports of joy. His Majesty appeared to feel sensibly the sentiments Ns hie!! had been expressed. lie intimated his wish to speak, and the following words delivered in the most gracious and touching accents, were listened to amidst the most profound silence : In removing from Paris, I experienced the greatest sorrow and regret. l'estimonies of the fidelity of my good city of Pari• reached me. I return with emotion. I foresaw the misfortunes with %%licit it wa, threatened ; it is my wish to prevent auth )(pair than. The pluec:.:Lion proceeded throuBh the I auxbour a ; St.
