THEODORE DE M..ZUQ,

Formerly Comminsaire tie Police of the quarter of the
Thuilleries, 47 years of age, residing in the Rue tie
Doyenne, No. 6.
On Monday, July 26, I received an order from the
Prefect of Police, to proceed to the stage coach-office of
the Rue do Bunion, to seize, if it ahould be found weir-
sat y, any newspapers or publications which might be cent
in violation of the ordinances. I went there at. about two
o'clock, but es the hour of departure was fixed at six,
repaired, in company with M. I)urios, one of my friends,
to the Pelaie Royal, to see what was going on in that
quarter, When we arrived at the earner of the Rue des
Roos Enfant*, between three ate! four o'clock, we found
the people assembled, and apparently in a state of great
irritation against the gentrermes. As I was passing I
entered the guard-bouse of the gendarmes, who told me
that all was going on very quietly, and, indeed, on that
day I did not bear any gun flied. On Tuesday, the 27th,
the. Duke de Rsguua asked ine if I could have a proderna-
tion printed, which ho was desirous of circulating in
Paris; 1 endeavoured to fulfil his desires, buil did not
succeed. I believe that the proclamation was printed at
Sevres during the night, and the next day, Thursday, we
distributed several copies of it to the prisoners who had
been taken the day before, and who were set at liberty,
that they might give them to the inhabitants.

Having read in one of the newspapers a letter written
on the incendiaries by a certain ilerri6, imprisoned at
Toulouse, it recoiled to my recollection a tact which took
place in May, and which was as follows was at that
period returning from Caen to Paris in the stage-coach,
and we spoke of the fires which were then very numerous.
Some travellers from Cherburg, who were with me in
the coach, said that it had been observed that arnong•t
the passports delivered at that moment, 10 nr 12 had
been given by the Mayor of Toulouse ; they added, that in
passing through Isigny they had themselves seen several
passports verified, and amongst them were no less than
four from Toulouse, two for singers, and two others for
two persons dealing in certain stones for dyers ; however,
I cannot certify the truth of these assertions, having no
other knowledge of the fiiet than through thus Moeller&

Perhapt the Mayor ot derhurg might tarnish some tut-
cher information on the subject.
FIERRE atooisTE-couitrEiTA,
Aged 53, late Commissaire de Pollee, of the quarter of the
Place Vendome, residihg hue St Nicolas d'Antin, No. 46.
The drat ffishrder which took place in my quarter was
on Menday, July 26. My first step was to inform the
Prefect of Police of this circumstance, but I received no
instructions. Prince Polignac called me, and told Meihat
three individuals had been arrested, aitil Conducted to the
post of the stal . went there, but the three Men had
been arretteil hi shit rue Castiglione, and thus belonged to
the quarter of M. Demajay,,l therefore let hint interrogate
the circumstances of the airair, bn returning home I
received an order to Visit the reading-rooms, to prevent the
papers which were prohibited from being read, and acted
in consequence. I did not receive from the civil authori-
ties any other order than the one relative to the reading-
rooms. No instruction was given to nie concerning the
summons, and I was not officially informed of the state of
the siege of the city.

VICTOIt tiowtriice,
/36 years of age, late Couuniasaire de Police, bf the quarter

of the Valais-Royal, residing Rue Papillon, No. 10.
On Monday, July 26, some groups assembled in the
garden of the Palais-Royal to read the papers. They
were all very quiet; but towards the evening one of them
separated himself from the rest crying," Vive la Charte,"
and proceeding towards the Boulevards. On Tuesday the
groups became more numerous, and at twelve o'clock I
received an order, written by the Prefect himself, inti-
mating to me to shut the gates of the Palais-Royal im-
mediately. This was put into execution, and the side
galleries were alone left open to the public. Towards
three o'clock 1 placed myself with a detachment of the
line near a house from which I had been told a gun had
been fired, but nothing of the kind happened whilst I was
there. The troops of the line were not only respected,
but even applauded by the people. The wounded then
began to be carried away, and stones to be thrown more
than ever. I went to the Prefecture of Police to get new
orders, but the Prefect answered that I might act
as I should think proper. lie also gave me to
understand that he had no more orders to issue, and spoke
of the state of the siege of Paris, but in such a way that I
did not know whether it was a measure already adopted,
or not yet taken. On the Weduesday I was called to the
Prefecture of Police, and there I received orders to seize
the presses ; hut as I had enough to do in my own quarter
another Colamissaire was charged with that operation. I
then spoke to the Prefect of Police, to obtain instructions
from him; but he appeared to be greatly disconcerted,
and again told sue that he had none to give, and that he
had now no power at all, as the town was declared to be in
a state of siege.
