cessions. During the 48 hours that Paris was without
any authorities, without magistrates, and without a police,
as well as without regulations, or organisation of any kind,
the individual devotedness and probity of every private
man has suppressed disorders in all parts of the town. Or-
der prevailed in the midst of anarchy, cheek by jowl with
poverty and disinterestedness. Amidst universal confu-
sion the most perfect harmony and the most admirable
cour►ge were invariably displayed. The task of the his-
torian, who may have to record the glorious deeds which
placed the French people in so elevated a position, is as
sublime as it is beautiful. However, the political arena,
where ambition and factions now struggle, forms a far
less beautiful spectacle than that presented by the field
of battle, on which the people lately contended.—
At present various conflicting pretensions are raised, and
every one lays claim to the exclusive salvation of the
country. All have fought, all have triumphed, and vic-
tory proved decisive only owing to the efforts of every
individual pretender. Some surround the Prince ; others
act the part of agitators among the public. As it is pro-
bable that this revolution will prove the last, every one is
desirous to turn it to his own advantage. Only the
real combatants forbear to boast of their services.—
These find the reward of their devotedness in their
own conscience. May these divisions not appear
to weaken the national party ! The latter is great,
united, strong, wise, and persevering. It watches
over the accomplishment of the grand work that
has been begun. Nothing can divert it from its
object—namely, the development of public liberty. This
it has the power and the means of accomplishing. Let
the enemies of the glory of France not for a moment
imagine, because dissensions break out in some high
quarters, that the national cause is in any danger what-
ever. These dissensions exist among ambitious men,
and amongst place-hunters; all the rest are united, and
there will be no division amongst them. If the Duke of
Orleans ascends the throne, he can only do so after fully
satisfying the public mind and the wishes of the people.
Peyronnet and Chantelaus, the late Ministers, have been
arrested at Tours. The French army makes every where
its submission. The tri• coloured flag is flying in all the de-
partments, wherever accounts have been received from
Paris. Charles X. and his miserable Court did not await the
arrival of the Parisian patriots at Rambouillet, who had
marched to that place to compel him to leave the French
territory. Accompanied by some Swiss, they fled to-
wards Chartres (in La Vendee), according to some ac-
counts, but I am rather inclined to believe that they pro-
ceeded towards Cherbourg, in order to embark, and that
you will soon see them arrive in England, soliciting an
asylum for their greatness. John Bull, who is ever kind-
hearted and charitable, will do well to supply them with
a few millions for their support ; for, unless they succeed
in bolting with the crown jewels, they do not possess a
farthing, and France is fully determined not to grant
them any pensions. Some few Deputies may make such
a proposition, but public opinion will resist such measures
with all its might. No Frenchman will pay his share of
contributions to console the pride of these folks. France has
already spent too meth blood and treasure for their sake.
Fresh news will probably arrive in the course of the day,
but, as this letter must be in the post-office by three
o'clock, I must conclude. It is not known at the Gene-
ral Staff what route Charles X. has taken. He left
Rambouillet before the arrival of our patriot warriors,
commanded by General Pajol. The National Guard is
organising itself rapidly. It is in arms in every part of
France. If the whole army, which has now made its
submission, had remained faithful to Charier X. it would
cause no apprehension at present. The probability of a
civil war is every moment vanishing more decidedly—
unanimity prevails every where, and the Bourbons are
shaken off, as a yoke imposed on us by foreigners. The
dreams of a few Peers and Congregationists to cause the
little Duke of Bourdeaux to be proclaimed, on the
strength of the abdication of Charles X. and of the
Dauphin, are mere illusions ; public opinion has re-
sumed its empire, and cannot retrograde at present, as
far as the doctrine of divine rights. It is for a Prince,
but a Prince chosen by the nation.
