SITTING OF THE IST JULY, CoNTINUEO:
Bory de St. Vincent gave the follo*ing.aco
count of his mission to the army charged With
the defence.df PariS, in company With, his
leagites Garat, Mornay, Baguet; and•Hellot
".We repaired to Ira Villette, Where eerie the
head=quarters of the Prince. of grktriuld. 'Th6
Marshal had jUst come in frorn visiting the Lints,
which M.'Carnot had visited in theynorning.
" General Van:tan-mit, whose fare Corps. was
that Moment traversing Paris; answered for the
excellent spirit of Lis 'soldiers,
\Who shared in his
enthusiastic patriotism.
" The General-in-Chief appeared to think that
an affair of importance might take place to-Jay;
and through his modesty one cOuld distinguish,
that far front dreading its results, he entertad
from it the finest .hopeS for the Honour of otir
areas.

" We 'visited the works at many points ; are
soldiers and a great nunitYer of the inhabitants
*ere working there ,with - zeal. We: found

them in the best state. Our colleague Buguet,
who a year ago, like myself, formed part
of that brave army of the south, whichs un-

tier the orders of :Marshal Souk, so well detencled

the south of France against the triple force of
General Wellington, remarked, that these wolks
were even better than those under Ave protection

of which our army at Toulouse dealt melt horrible
destrui.tion among the English.
Ahattis were formed •on sit the vit at roads,

olistacles multiplied, anti the ditches covering put.
lines inundated. 'A Prussian party oceupteiCsome
villages visible at a diitanee; and we adVanted
near their videttes. •
We met a crowd of brave national guards
and federates proceeding to exercise at sharp-
shooting,' and thus fatniliarise th...triselves with
dangers which they burn to meet. Many of these
intrepid Parisians complained to us, that neither
arms nor cartridges were given -to them -; others
complained that their courage was- kept back ; we.
promised to state their representations to the Lx-
ecutive Committee.
" The gendarmerie, that chosen corps seletted
from other corps, is"ccompanied us, protesting that
they would also combat with 'the rest of the ca.'
valry •for national independence.
We were every where received with tram-
.ports; the soldiers, young as-well as, old, formed
groups' aronn&us, 'sbottting,—'.Vive la Libert4
-Vive Napoleon IL P•‘ Livens les Represen t•as
Point de Bourbons !" ••• _ _ _

" On our return to the Gentral in Chief we
found with Mini Count Reille, who also answcred
for the patriotism of his croups. We next pro-
ceeded to the extreme right, to visit the guards
tominanded by Get.eral Rognet, and
,the corvs of
tount .d.Erion. These corps occupy the heights.
of Belleville, which are crowned -with 'excellent
works.

" In our way I met General Daricau, who as-
sured me'that should there he battle, he would
appear 'there at the head of 7,oooTirailleurs of
the National Guards • and Federates.; he had hi-
therto been able 'to arm and cloth this number
of patriots out: of the many who had offered them-
selves y but these 7,000 were equal to troops
and-their number .was ho'urly increasing.
May expect every thing from Frenchmen
combating for national honour, when they are
commanded by one of our Generals to whom ho-
n Our is so dear, and who so bravely defended
Seville..
" It would be difficult- to describe what we were

witnesses of at Belleville ; all the Ohl Ghat (I was

there collected ; -.hey at first saw us pass .in si-
lence,—inquietude was -in their looks. Calum-
nious rumours respecting us had far some days
been current in the army,, that system of alarm
and distrust which your -internal enemies have
adOpted ; the apparent indecision of some of our
deliberations ; in fine, the opinions ascribed to
one of our colleagues, made the army for a mo-
ment fear, that the words national safety and
-colGztry were in our months words which conceal-
ed a mystery.
" From the moment we assured the troops that
it could not enter into our views to falsify your
orders, awl that you were determined to ,die for
the cause of our rights, a burst of joy,. the cer-
tain pledge of .victory, broke forth from all (par-
' ters ; the shouts of 4.` Vile l'lndependancel Vive
la •Liberl6! Vive Napoleon 11. !" must have re-
echoed even to the enemy's camp. Soldiers,
Officers delighted to see the tri-coloured scare
again in their camps, swore to defend the. nu-,
tional representatives. We may answer for their
fidelity to this oath.
if the-enthusiasm of the army was at its
height-, that of the whOle population -of the fah-
bourgs was not less ardent. On being witnesses
of what we saw yesterday, we may answer for the
safety of Paris. .
" Gentlemen, the French soldiers are the most
intelligent of all ; they reason very sensibly as to
their true interests; and the officers who, like
Myself, issuing from their ranks, 'nave risen to
superior grades, will tell you that none are better
judges than the soldiers. of all that affects their
honour and the confidence due to their Chiefs.—
: The snouts which we heard, and the Conversa-
tions had wilf) many -of ydur defenders, ruqde
us acquainted with their real'sentiments; it would.
be -criminal to conceal them.
I,` You, .Gentlemen, have sent Ambassadors to
the FOreigri Powers -von charged these Anabas•
sAars to remind them -of the words' they so so-
lemnly swore, that they Meal) 410 attack on your
