PARTS, SEPT. 3 .--T he Anti de la Charte of
Nantes contains the following article on t'•e affair
which took place in that to •n op August 516th :-
4 deplorable event was exhibited in this town the
day before yesterday, at the hour ..f change, and on
the Place du Commerce. Every body was ofEmded.
The Swiss soldiers who flirm the guard established
at this spat made a charge on the citizens, and no
business was done on change. A number of the
merchants who witnessed the affair went immediately
to the Mayor, bat this officer not being returned
from Paris, they waited on M. Barbier, his chief
oflLer. lie was still at the of (Manic), whither
they immediately repaired. Near the door they met
If M. Delatullaye and I)oucet, other assistants to
the Mayor, who were coining out of the place. One
of the merchants explained to them the object of
their visit. , The two officers replied that MM. Bar-
bier, Petit Desrochettes, and Bernard (the son), had
hastened to the Place du Commerce.; they invited
the merchants to enter, and requested some of them
to explain the matter, us it was nut possible to attend
to. three hundred people at once.
Accompanied by tan citizens, among whom were
several merchants and men of property, the two
officers went into the council-room, when they were
informed of what had happened. They listened
with attention and kindness to the recital, mani-
fested considerable interest, and a lively solkitude
fur their felluw•citizens. Many of the citizens, and
particularly the father of u family, whose eontribu.
tions to the state place him in the class of the elti-
hies, expresacd themselves with energy, but without
departing from the respect due to the constituted
authorities.

that time on the Place du Cinumerce, to b. 24 the
other two aliects to repair to him. 'rho eitir.ms

to, that they should address a written complaint to
the Mayor,

The officers of the ftluyor colle.cted on the spot,
and front a number of citizens, all the facts of the
business.

It was easy to point out to them that when the
Swiss soldiers ranged before the guard-house, and
after having already inatle two charges on the inha-
bitants, were preparing to load their muskets, that
irre•ntrable tatschicf would have been produced if
the people had not cried out, " Let us go to the
Mayor—iet us complain to him."
The Pr,:ect, informed of the circumstance, came
to the Place du Commerce, and his presence was of
great advantage.
A small moldier of Swiss arrived at the guard-
house. The colonel came on horseback, accompanied
by a servant. M. de Brea, the commandant, also
Tepaircd thither.

A detachment of Gandarmes was ranged before
the guard house.
During this time the officers of the Mayor con-
versed With several respectable persons, avid were
surrounded by a great multitude. There was also a
multitude of people behire the guard-house.
The Gendarmes lowing moved tbrward to dispzrse
the crowd, received orders from the officers, M Al.
Bernard and ntcet, to retrogade. lhis conduct
does honour to the municipal body.
The officers having requested the citizens to re-
tire, gave orders to the troops who had come to
reiniorce the guard to vacate the spat. The am-
dames, cud the few Swiss already mmtioned,
obeyed idstantiy. The Swiss culotte! retired about
the same time.
