My If.aap,—The Emperor Alexander, with the Ki 11,7, of Pi us,aa,
marched into Paris this morning, where they were received by WI

where a great part of the army passed in review before them,
and, as mul% in the most exact order. Ili* Imperial Majesty is
loged in the house of M. Taf:,•yrand, Prince cf Benevente.
It Is impossible to deserihe the:scenes of this day in t compass of
dispatch ; the most striking were, the national guard in their uniform,
and armed, clearing the avenues tor the troops of the Allies passing
through, in all the pomp of military parade, the day after a severe
action ; people. of Paris, nhosf political sentiments have at all
times been wanife4ted by the strongest indication, unanimon-, in
their '..ry for peace, and a change of dynasty. enjoyieg the spectacle
of the entry into the capital of France of an invading army, as a
blessing and a deliverance. A rope placed round_the neck of the
statue of Napoleon, on the Colonise de la Grand Armee, and the
people amused with pulling it, and crying " a has le Tyran !"
Much was s..id in the crowd, of their wish for the restoration of
amicable relations with Great Britain.
The occupation of Lyons and of Bordeaux was known to all
the people, as also the eirennistance of the declarations at the latter
place in favour of Louis XVIII. and the display of the white
cockade ; hut not the indepeni!ence of Holland.
The events which have led to the occupation of Paris, will be
auiderstood from the folluwini recapitulation,
