" PROCLAMATION.

" LYONESE,—The whole of France has been moved by
the report of the disorders of which the city of Lyons has
been the theatre. From all parts the complete re-esta-
lilishment of the authority of the laws has beet. energetically
demanded, and the National Guards of the kingdom have
offered to assist in this work. The army, indignant at
the treatment to which some brave soldiers were compelled
to submit in an unequal contest, in which they defended
the noble cause of the laws, have desired to fly to their
succour. The nation has comprehended that there can be
no security for good citizens if force could be put in the
place of right.
" The Royal will, always paternal, has immediately
shown itself for the purpose of moderating the general
indignation, and to conciliate the interest of the country
with that of the city of Lyons. A Prince, who is already
so dear to you has desired to obtain new titles to your
affection ; he wished that a general reconciliation should
be made under his auspices.
" But clemency is not the only attribute of the crown ;
—guardian of the laws, it is also the depositary of the
public force. The wish of the Chambers solemnly carried
to the foot of the Throne, and the august words which
have descended from it, have apprised you with what una-
nimity the three powers of the State have proclaimed the
indispensable necessity of assuring force to justice.'
" Such is also the mission which the King has confided
to me. I come to re-estiblish amongst you the sovereignty
of the law. In this patriotic work I expect the assistance
of all good citizen..
"No more anarchy ! submission to the laws ! obedience
to the government of the King ! and his Royal Highness
the Duke of Orleans will enter within your walls.

Duke of DALMATIA."
" ORDER.

6. The Marshal of France, Minister of War, in virtue
of the special powers contained in the Royal ordinance of
the 21th of last November, having to put in execution the
new ordinance of the King, dated the 29th of the same
month, which pronounces the dissolution of the National
Guards of the city of Lyons, and the communes of Guillo-
tiere, Croix Rousse, and Vaise, in the department of the
Rhone, commands as follows:
" 1. The RI al ordinance of the 28th of last November,
commanding the dissolution of the National Guards of
the city of Lyon., and of the communes of Guillotiere, the
Croix Rousse, and of Vaise, in the department of the
Rhone, shall be addressed to the Prefect of this depart-
ment, who stands charged to publish it, and to superintend
its execution.

"2. All cannons, guns, musketnons, pistols, sabres,
arms, and munitions of every sort, which were at the
position of the National Guards of the city of Lyons, and
of the communes of Guillotiere, of Croix Rousse, and of
Vaise, in the department of the Rhone, shall be imme-
diately replaced in the arsenal of the city of Lyons, under
the receipt of the Director of the Artillery.
"3. The dissolution being consummated, and the re-
, turning of the arms entirely effected, the National Guards
of the said city and communes shall be forthwith recog-
ni,ed, conformably to the law of 22d March, 1831.
"4. The Prefect of the Department of the Rhone is
charged with the execution of the present order, which
shall be published and stuck up in the city of Lyons, and
in the communes of Guillotiere, Croix Rousse, and Vaise.
" Marshal Duke of DALMATIA.
" Head-quarters of Balmont, Dec. 2."

The Precurseur of the 2d inst. contains a letter ad-
dressed by the Prefect to the Journal des Debuts, justi-
fying his conduct during the late events, and calling for
a legal inquiry into it. Ile particularly states that the
accounts he transmitted to the President of the Council,
respecting the tranquil state of the ci,y, immediately pre-
vious to the insurrection, were fully authorised by the re-
ports he had received from Gen. Rog,uet.
The Courrier de l' Ain mentions as a report, that M.
Magnan, the fugitive Colonel of the 49th, had been ar-
rested, and lodged in the prison of Monthrison.
The following (let ,ils relating to the review at Rillieux
are extracted from the Courrier de l'Ain :-" The
Prince publicly reproached those troops who had not per-
formed their duty. The Major of the 13th regiment, who
brd been entrusted with the command of three companies,
with instructions to force his way to the plain of the
Grand Cote by the hill of the Carmelites, and who, hav-
ing started without seeing that the muskets of his troops
were loaded, ordered his men to lay down their arms as
soon as they found themselves sutrounded by the insur-
gents, was interrogated by the Minister on his conduct, and
was subsequently addressed by the Prince in the following
severe terms This sword was entrusted to you that you
might, at the peril of your life, execute the orders given to
you ; you have proved yourself unworthy to serve in the
French army. Retire.' The officer in question is struck
off the rolls of the army, and a Captain of Grena-
diers seas immediately promoted to his rank. The Mini-
ster of War then severely reproached the numerous sol-
diers who had allowed themselves to be disarmed on dif-
ferent points of the town. Two companies of grenadiers
and voltigeurs, and two companies of engineers, em-
ployed in the fortifications, have been broken for this
offence. At the conclusion of the review, all the officers
of the different corps formed a circle round the Prince,
who addressed them in a spirited harangue, terminating
in these words-' Henceforward, Gentlemen, we are
united for life and death.' For life and death,' repeated
the officers, joining their swords above the head of the
young Prince. This truly French scene' (as it was
called by Marshal Soult) produced a strong emotion in all
who witnessed it."

SINGULAR FATE OF A THIEF.—On Friday
week, between four and five o'clock, a young man dressed
in a blue coat, woollen cord breeches, and a coloured silk
handkerchief, went into the shop of Mr. HoL3tEs, on the
south side of Leeds bridge, and.,enquired the price of an
umbrella. He was immediately shown one and told the
price, and whilst Mr. Hoomzs was in the act of turning
round to reach another, the fellow snatched up the um-
brella and ran off across the street, but instead of running
over the bridge, as no doubt he intended, he ran down a
wharf adjoining, and not being able to check himself after
he had discovered his error, he plunged into the waters of
the Aire, which were much swollen at the time, and was
' carried down by the stream. By order of the magistrates,
search was made for him on Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
and Tuesday, but without success. There is reason to
believe that the person was JOIIN STYAN, a tailor, of
weak intellects, who had latterly resided at Bardsey, a few
miles from Leeds.—Leeds Intclligencer.
WHAT TO DO WITH A Box ON THE EAR.
—lt is related by THOMASIUS. in his " Juristical Trans-
actions," that a gentleman having received a box on the
ear one dark night, lodged a formal complaint of the
assault before the Magistrates the next morning, and in-
sisted that the offender, whose very name and person were
unknown to him, should be cited to answer for the outrage!
nip, however, was not enough for our man of choler, and he
must needs lay his case before the Senate of the Univer-
sity of Leirzic, who, after due consideration, thus enounced
their decision:—" An individual, having received a box
on the ear, and not knowing what hand bath given it, re-
maineth under an obligation to stand possessed thereof."---
