The enemy had improved the defence; which the ground afforded os
Alontmatre, and in front of it, by redoubts and batterlei, and had a
considerable force of regular troops near the vi lanes of Pantin, Ro-
mainville, and Belleville. The navigable canal, the woods and
horses, tclether with some ground, so d:ep as•to be nearly impassi-
ble for horses, afforded considerable means of resistance. A.disposi-
tian for a general atta_k hiving been male on the 3dtli, the 6th corps,
supported by the grenadiers and rmerye, was engaged at an early hour
to prevent the eite:ny from leoldiaz Pantin. \'The remainder of

MY LOR n—l have the honour to annex 11.:.rewith a copy of the ca-
pitulation of t;:e city of Pak. I fed it irneossible to cenvey to your
Lordship an acceuratc idea, or a jest dt:seripti el the seers: that pre-

Emperor of Russia, the iite of Prer.sia, :tea P; ince Schwart zenherg

end exultation that was exhibited mast have very fir exceeded what
the most sanguine and devoted friend of tie. ancient dynasty France'
could have pictured to his own mind, and those who are less person-
ally, interested, but equaUy ardent in that cause could no. loeeer hesi- ,
trite in pronouncing that the restoration of their leeitineee 1-;1;ne, the
downfall of Buonaparte, and the desire of peace, has•b•cente the first
and dearest wish of the Parisians, who have by the events of tee last
two days been emancipated from a system of terror and despotism ht-
possible to describe, while they have been kept in an ignorance, tiy
t he arts of falsehood and deceit, incredible for an Wiehtened people,
z,tel incomprehensible to the reflecting part of mankind. •
