" PARts, s.laacn 12.—His Serene Highness the
Lake of Orleans arrived to day at Paris, having
been sent by Monsieur to take the orders of the
King, in consequence of the changes reudered
necessary by the itupossibility of assembling a suf-
ficient force in time for the dc:e.nce of the city of
Lyons. 'The rapidity of the march of the enemy

force to bear upon any one point. Nothing an-
nounces that the force by which lie is accompanied
has iucreased, while ours, arrive in all three-

tious upon the points assigned to them.

We were not disappointed in our expectations,
when we said that the perfidious seduction of the
enemy would have no effect upS our brave Sol-
diers of the French Army.
" The fohr squadrons of Royal Chasseurs, who
bad been misled by the perfidy of one of their
Chiefs, and whose passage at La Fere we men-
tioned, have just sent from Compeigne a Deputa-
tion to the King, composed of a Major, a Lieu-
tenant-Colonel, and a Captain, to assure his
Majesty of their inviolable fidelity. As soon as
they perceived the disloyal intentions of General
Lltrebvre, they halted at Compeigne, and de-
manded an explanation of that General ; and hav-
ing ascertained that they were not marching in

pursuance of the directions of the lining, they
placed themselves under the command of General
Lyons, and set out immediately upo❑ their march
to return to their garrison at Cambray.

`° An immense multitude of assurances and
pray f; of fidelity have been given under important
ci.c;:instances by the military of all ranks."

4' After '25 years of revolution we have, by the
s?glii bounty of Providence, had France restored
to a stale of tranquillity. To render this state
(itable and bolid,we have given to our people a
Charterochich, by a wise Constitution, assures the
belly of every subject. This Charti:r has, since June
last, been the daily rule of our conduct ; and we
Lave found in the Chambers of Peers and Depu-
tes all necessary eO-operation in maintaining
mitb us the national glory and prosperity. The love
of-our people was the best recompenee of our la-
bours and die best guarantee of our happy success.
It, is to this love that we now ctwfitlently Nppcal

French teriitorl'es, who desires to renew the Civil
War. All those who sincerely love their Coun-

Government, and of freedom secured by law,
ought to entertain hut one thottght—to destroy
the Oppressor, who neither wishes for Country,

nor-Government, nor Liberty. All Frenchmen,
equal by the Constitution, ought to be alike.

which the safety of France depends. Measures
have been taken to stop the enemy between Lyons

PROCLAMATION TO THE ARMIES.
" Lotus, &c.

" To our brave Soldiers, .clfety—

" Brave Soldiers ! the glory and the strength
of our Kingdom, it is in the name of honour that
your King orders you to be faithful to your co-
lours ; you have sworn fidelity to him, you will
not betray your oaths. A General whom you
would have defended to your last breath, if he had
not formally abdicated his authority, has rfr-
stored you to ynur lawful Monarch. Mingled
in the great family of which he is the father, amf
in which on are only distinguished by the.most
brilliant services, I bear you all in my heart ;
associate myself with all your triumphs, though
not acquired in my cause : recalled to the throne
of niv Ancestors, I am delighted to see it supported
by the brave Army, so worthy to defend it.--
Soldiers, I invoke your love, I .demand your fide-
lity : your forefathers, in other times, rallied
under the St'andard of the Great HENRY : it is
his descendant that I have placed at your
bead ; follow him faithfully in the paths of?ho-
nour and duty : defend, with him, the public
liberty, which is attacked, the Constitutional
Charter which it is attempted to destroy ; de-
feria your wives, your fathers, your children,
your property, against the tyranny ‘vhich threat-
ens them. Is not the enemy of the country
also your enemy ? has he not speculated upon
your blood, trafficked on your fatigues, and on
your wounds ? Was it not to gratify his insatia-
ble ambition that lie led you to encounter a thou-
sand dangers in achieving useless and mur-
derous victories. Our beautiful France was not
sufficient for him, he would again exhaust
the entire population in going to the ex-
tremities of the world, and ply for new conquests
with your blood. Resist then his perfiduous pro-
mises ; your King calls, your Country demands
you'; let honour attach you firmly to your stand-
ards ; I charge myself with seeing you rewarded ;
in your own ranks, among the elite of faithful
soldiers that I will chuse your Officers ; the gra-
titude of the public shall repay all your services :
One more effort and you will soon enjoy the glory
and glorious repose which you have so wellode.
served.

" March then, brave Soldiers, wrthoot hesita-
tion, at the voice of honour : yourselves arrest
the first traitor who would seduce you. If any
one imong you has already lent an e.r to the per-
fidious suggestions of Rebels, there is yet time
to return to the path of duty. The door
is yet open to repentance : it is thus that
many sqoadnins, whom a guilty. Chief wished
to mislead, near la Fere, themselves forced him
to fiy. May this example be beneficial to the
whole Army may the great number of corps
who renuiin pure, and who have refused unite
with rebels, close thcir batallions to attack und
repel the traitors, and persevere in their good di;_
position. Soldiers ! you are French, lam your
King ; it is not, then, in vain that I confide to
your courage and fidelity the safety of our be-
loved country.

" The King has entru;:ted the command of all
the Corps in and about Paris to the Duke de
Berri.

" Since the moment when the Proclamation of
the King made known, without artifice or con-
cealment, the unexpected danger which menaces
France, and the Government which she received
ts,ith so much enthusiasm and unanimity, an im-
mense multitude of Citizens have unceasingly
carried, by some means, to the foot of the Throne,
the homage of Their devotion a,:d fidelity. Evuy
day the court of the Palace is tilled with crowds,
expressing the common sentiment with energy and
enthusiasm. The King's name is the object of
their lively and continued acclamations.
" A Proclamation of the 12th states, that bat-
talions of Royal Volunteers t: ill be formed, and
marched with time corps-de-artntle under the com-
mand of time Duke of Berri. Counts Viomettil
and La Tour-Maubourg are to organize them,
and their arms Ire to be delivered at Vincennes.
