been appointed by the General-in-Chief to be Aid. de-Camp. To
Arms ! To Arai b ! Brave Citizens of Paris ! To Arms, ye Na-
tional Guards. We call upon you in the name of the Nation. The
women are invited to :cake up tri-cotaured cockades, the only national
colour.

" Brave Citizens of Paris—Your conduct during these days of
disaster is above all praise. While Charles X. abandoned 1114 ca-
pital, and gave you up to gendarmes and Swiss, you defended
your homes with a courage truly heroic. Let us but persevere and
redouble our artloui, let us but put forth a few more efforts, and
your enemies will be overcome. A general panic has already taken
possession of them. We have stopped the courier they had dis-
patched to Dijon for reinforcements, and to recommend the Duchess
td'Angou!eme not to return. A provisional government is establish-
ed : three most honourable citizens have undertaken its important
functions. These are Messrs. Lafayette, Choiseul, and Gerard, in
whom you will find courage, firmness, and prudence. This day
will put an end to all your anxieties,
._ and crown you with glory.

ORDER OF THE DAY, JULY 30.
- • - •

• Let the means of defence be so organize.:el in each legion, and let
communications be established, so that the weakest points may be
most strongly guarded. Let a reserve be mule from such of the
legions as are least in danger, and be formed of a moiety of the dis-
posable force, and let the abandoned barracks be as much as possible
re-established. Let them be put into relation with the environs, so
that no person may be permitted to pass beyond the barriers without
a permission from the Comanandant.in-Chief, or from the Commis-
sion of Government. Let a daily return be made to head-quarters
of the numbers of each legion, the state of the arms and ammunition.
The Commandant renews his order to the Commanders of legions
for them to send an officer with 2.i men, to ham the guard at head
quarters. There shall be established at head-quarters a body of 25
young mere to be employed in carrying out orders, and who shall be
distinguished by a badge on the arm.

PARIS, JULY 31.
We hear the Duke of Orleans spoken of. He would be a national
King. But some voices, few in number, it is true, pronounced
the word Republic. This word can only sow discord among us:
it is hailed by some generous but imprudent individuals, but we
believe it to be thrown out by our enemies. How have the Bour-
bons ruined themselves? By carrying to the extreme their prin-
ciple of divine right, and of an authority superior to that of the
nation. How was the revolution of 1789 thrown away. and how
did it lead us to the imperial despotism ? By impelling the princi.
plea of the national sovereignty to the republic and to anarchy.
The Bourbons have forgotten the cruel lessons of the past. After a
lapse of 40 years, the French people are obliged to r: peat the 14th
July and the Ithli of August, not to make a revolution, but to pre-
serve what the revolution has produced. Let us not forget,
then, as they have done, the lessons of the past. If the na-
tional cause suffers itself to be led sway by evil court-
aels, It will fall in the sequel, like the B mrbons, and
like them by its own fault. If it be true that the elder branch
of the Royal family has abdicated, the interest of the country is
then to take for its first hereditary magistrate. and for its king, the
Duke of Orleans, who fought Jemappes fur the revolution of 1789.
Meantime the Duke of ( htleans, who arrived at Paris this morning,
has accepted the office of Lieutenant-General of the kingdom, and
displayed the national colours. Yesterday the Court had sent some
troops to anest the Duke of Orleans at 11. hen it was known
that the Prince had set off during tfre night for Paris, a Royal ordi-
nance was immediately issued, declaring the Prince an outlaw, and
ordering all subjects to fall upon him. Two great wants have long
since distinguished the present era —the love of liberty, and the love
of order. These two signs equally manifested themselves in the
noble combats of the capital. The people remain faithful to them
After having giver. its blood to liberty, it is ready to give it to order.
There is a means to render ourtriumph worthy of the civilization that
produced it. Let us trust to history. It shows us in England that
the substitution of the patriotic William, for the hypocritical
Stuarts, secured both liberty and order. Every thing was easy tor
the cause of the laws. Blood ceased to flow, resistance became im-
possible,—Europe: and Foreign Powers opened their negotiations
and treaties with England, after it was regenerated. Yesterday
morning (Friday) Charles X. and the Dauphin reviewed, near St.
Cloud, the troops which were still round that place Both of them
cried " the Charter for ever," and Charles X. announced that lie
abdicated in favour of his son. An expressive silence met this tardy
declaration. When Marshal Marmont appeared before the Dau-
phin, the Prince broke out into the most violent and contemptuous
expressions. It is affirmed that he said, " You have treated us as
you did others." The Marshal promised, even on the 29th, to hold
out 15 days : he did not hold out 15 hours. The Marshal has not
betrayed them. On the contrary, he caused the cannon to be pointed
against the citizens with the bitterest hostility. It has been observed
that the foreigners at Paris, Russians, English, and Germans,
openly declared for the defenders of the Charter. They received
them into their houses when they were wounded. They brought
them provisions and refreshments. Thus all Europe has taken
some share in the 'memorable day of the 29th of July. The Mi-
nisters hide themselves : each of them accuses his colleagues of the
misfortune that has happened to them.

Pax's, JULY 30.—. Yesterday, the 29th, after the departure of
the Royal Guard for Paris, part of the inhabitants of Versailles
funned themselves into a national guard. They took possession
of the barriers, and made the pages and the detachments of the
Royal Guard and of the Guard du Corps that remained in the
town lay down their arms. Yesterday evening the division of
Bourdesoulle appeared at the iron grate of the avenue to Paris,
desiring permission to re-enter Versailles, in order to return to
its quarters ; but the National Guards posted there informed
General Bourdesoulle that his troops could not return into the
town, unless they laid down their arms as the others had done,
and that, if they used force, they should be resisted. General
Bourdeaoulle did not venture an attack, and his regiment bivou-
acked on the road. This morning, after some parleying, an a-.
rangement was made, and the whole division entered amidst cries
of " The Charter for ever." This division was composed of a bat-
talion of the Royal foot, of the gendarmerie of Paris, both home and
foot, a regiment of grenadiers on horseback, of a company of horse
artillery, and a regiment of cuirassiers. Sevres, ;from: the com-
mencement of the park of St. Cloud to the bridge, is occupied by
battalions of the royal guard, of the artillery, and of the Swiss re-
giments. Two pieces of cannon are planted on the road to Versail-
les, and two others towards Paris; but these troops do not amount
to 2,000 at most. The Duke of Angouleme on horseback, accom.
panied by two superior officers of the Garde du Corps, walking on
foot by the side of his horse, and followed by seven or eight (larder
du Corps, passed through ie midst of the troops. The Swiss alone
received him with cries of Vive le Roi ! There are about GOO
wounded in the hospital of Beaujon. During the whole of the after-
noon the Swiss were going towards Neuilly, throwing away their
arms, expressing the most poignant regret at having fought, and
vowing that they would never fight again for the same cause.

" N. B. The Gazette declares that it confines itself to copying
from the other Journals. The following is from the Journal du
Commerce :—A letter from Toulon, of the 15th of July, has the
following passages The amount of the treasure which has been
found in the Cassauba is not positively known. Some make it 500
illations. some only 300, but these are only conjectures. The fact
is, that Admiral Duperri• was amazed on entering the cellars: heaps
oof gold and chests full of piasters occupied them. The Scipio,
Vibe de Marseilles, and Nestor, all of the line, have been selected
to carry Turks to Smyrna ; but as there are not so many as was
expected, the latter will be exempt from this service.: The Trident,
and three frigates, are to go and subdue Oran. M. de Bourinont
is to set out for Toulon on the 25th of this month.'
(From Le Globe.)
PARIS, Just- 31.—The victory of Paris has proclaimed the
Oscine vacant. Even though St. Cloud should attempt a last effort,
and though the partisans of the cause which has been overthrown
within our walls should once more endeavour to take the field and
maintain civil war, we regard their defeat as certain. As constantly
and as loyally as any one, we tried to prevent the last extremities;
not that any allusion blinded us to the faults of the system now de-
strayed; but we knew at what price even the most speedy revolu-
tions are purchased. Besides, who could foresee the miracles that
have been wrought within the last few day's ? All compromise is
now impracticable. The link has been broken by those who had
he greatest interest in strengthening pt. Vainly did we endeavour,
e'en to the last day, to preserve and even to thicken the veil of con.
stitutional fictions. These fictions are reasonable only in a certain
degree. When he for whose advantage they are raised up re-
jects them, when he claims the right of exercising his own
personal will, —he incurs the responsibility which he demands,
and tails, of course, the accomplice of the crime of his ministers.
All reconciliation, therefore, is inadmissible. Some good-
meaning men have tried to bring it about, but without success.
Even were an amnesty of certain acts just and moral, they could not
he forgotten : a barrier of blood would rise between the King and
the people. Imagine a King guilty and humiliated, stained with
French blood, and conquered—a King at once odious and degraded!
No, too, he must depart ; he must bid an eternal adieu to France.
The throne being vacant, a great question prams itself, viz, what
will be the government of France? Only two forms of govern-
ment are possible--a republic or a monarchy. The republic has
but one fault, which is, that it is not deemed possible in France.
perhaps it may one day become possible; perhaps it is the de.
tinitive government to which all nations are advancing ; but its time
has not yet come. The heroes of the last few days exclaimed,
Five la Chart-!" What was meant by that al which inspired
such noble conduct? May the charter, developed and amended
by victory, prove an equivalent for the republic to the cause of
liberty. Supposing this point decided, the next question is, to

----r-

whom shall the throne be given ? The name of the Duke of Oileans
presents itself. The necessity of speedily establishing a govern-
ment
is universally felt. Ihe Duke of Orleans is among us, and
his situation is such that he may be the means of pacifying France,
and saving us from the hostility of the rest of Europe. He has as
yet neither popularity nor power on his side. This is an advantage;
for he cannot presume to dictate conditions to us, and must accept
ours. These are circumstances which may turn the scale in his
favour : but far more important than all this are the constitutional
stipulations which would prece le his accession to the throne. These
must be thought of before every thing, and their consideration will
be the first duty of the Chamber of Deputies as soon as it shall be II
formed. We have learned by fatal experience the nature of a con.
ceded charter. It is now for the nation to make concessions to its
king.
Besides the municipal Government which Paris has raised up,
almost on the field of battle, :cards another great national power,
the offspring of another victory, less heroic but not less glorious,—
namely, the elections. It was to defend and support the votes of
France that Paris gave her blood, and it is for having violated our
electoral laws that Charles X. has lost his throne. It therefore na-
turally becomes the duty of the Chamber of Deputies to regulate the
provisional Government.
