THE NATIONAL

This happy news, which was received Wins repeated cries of
Fire l'Emperenr ! rive l'Emperstrice ! 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. Old
troops contienally arrive in this city ; every day • souse depart to
join the army. Three or four thousand are gone to day.
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 apt 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. The shouts of victory will resound in
all parts of the empire and give new energy to the national enthu-
siasm, the happy effect, of widish we now perceive.
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. What Frenchman would be deaf to the voice of his
Sovert ign ? who would not share the glory of our brave soldiers,
and emorileite to save the conetry ?
