POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL.

In the noble and patriotic sentiments which animate and inflame
the population of Paris,we take pleasure in repeating that the pupils
of the Polytechnic School have been among the first to distinguish
themselves. The conduct of these young and brave men is shove
all eulo4item in these days of glory and danger. In one of the
skirmishes with the Royal Guard, that body had, after its repulse
by the citizens, left a piece of artillery in an unoccupied arca, to
which, however, there was still danger in approaching on account
of the firing. A pupil of the Polytechnic school,who was at the head
of the armed citiztns, ran up to the piece, which he seized with both
his hands. "It is ours," he said, " I will keep it ; I will die rather
than surrender it.' A Cry was heard behind him, ' the brave are
dear to us—you will be killed—return to us.' l'lre young man
hears not a word, hut holds the piece more tightly in his em-
brace, and in spite of s shower of balls which rained around him.
At last the Royal Guard was obliged to retire still further by the
fire of the citizens, who kept continually gaining ground, and who
at length reached the piece and saved the man who had so bravely
seized at first.

At the capture of the Castle, another pupil, who was also at the
head of the armed citizens, presented himself at the railings. A
superior Aker immediately approached. • Open,' said the young
commander, ' if you do not wish to be all exterminated, for liberty
and force are now in the power of the people.' The officer refused
to obey his summons, and pulled the trigger of his pistol, which did
not, however, go off. The young pupil, who ed all Ms
sangfroid, seized at the same moment the officm LrthreTthrost, and
directing his sword against it, said, ' Your life is in my power; I
could rut your throat, but I will not shed blood. The dicer,
affected by this act of generosity, tore from his breast the decoration
which he wore, and presented to his enemy, saying,' Brave young
man, no one can be more worthy than you to wear such insignia, re-
ceive it from toy hand. I have worn it till row with some credit,
and lam certain that you will continue to do the same. Your
name?' Pupil of the Polytechnic School ;' and the young man
immediately tejoined his companions.
The gratitude of the people to the pupils of the Polytechnic
School almost reaches veneration. Yesterday one of these fine
young men, who had taken no rest for the last three nights, tell
asleep from wearingly on one of the mattresses designed for the
wounded. When evening arrived, he was taken, without knowing
it, to the Hotel. de Ville. and when the appearance of his uniform
excited acclamations wherever he pansW-, those ahu carried Mn
said, " Respect his misfortunes " The crowd look off shell hats,
.011 ti
passed on. One of the pupils of the Polytechnic School wig

;.filled in the apartments of eke Tuileries. His body, -raised r.`
with respect by those; whom he Lad conducted to ,viemeyb 4fate:e*
placed on the twat of the throne its .if, *A revered witlf.petcetet
crape which were collected by chalice. It renamed ' there tarn's(' '
brother, and some other members ot his family camether, to cis 4as Alpe,
glorious remains. Whilst the Royal troops, driven from tlier.calisaPP
tal were stationed in the Bois de Boulogne, exhausted by ridss t:44.a:e
tigue, the Mayor of Auteuil was required to provide them with Neu-''
visions and refreshments. The mayor addresst.d himself to ve..:; "e•
principal inhabitants of his commune in order to procure them.
The answer which he received from the most respectable of thera
was this, —that in complying with his request they should be
furnishing their own enemies with support, since three troops bad
fired upon their brothers in Paris. However, from motives of
humanity, provisions and refreshments were provided. The Doke
d'Angouleme went in person to thank the major for the provisions
given to his army (his own words.) The mayor could not help
saying that all the misfortunes which now afflicted France, and
which were recoiling upon the Royal Family itself, would not hate
happened had the King governed constitutionally. At these meets
the Prince turned bridle and rode off. However, in a minute af.. r.
wards lie sent some of his aideinde-camp to the mayor to inform
that functionary, that if he had any thing to communicate he would
hear it with pleasure, provided it was not in the presence of iep
troops.
It is known that the soldiers of the Royal Guard had already
received 30 francs a man from the Royal Treasury, in order to in-
duce them to fire upon the people. The soldiers of the sth rep.
ment of the line have declared in their turn that they we re pro-
mised five.and-twenty, but bad only received ten francs a niAt,.
The Archbishop's palace was attacked by the people. They did
not commit any excesses at first ; but their pacific disposition a as
altered when they unexpectedly found two barrels of powde r arAl
one hundred daggers. From that moment the fury of the-
multitude knew no bounds, and the Archbishop's place was
entirely devastated. Still none of the moveables were ap-
plied by the people to their own profit. Many were thrown
into the Seine. The dyer vessels were carried to the Hotel Dieu.
In some public square. and in the yards of numerous pri.
vale houses, old soldiers and national guards are seen training to tie•
management of anus the young persons who voluntarily present
themselves. A young national guard, having committed a mistake
in one of the movements of his exercise, was laughed at by tie
spectators. '• I made no mistake," said he, "in lighting yeettniety
the enemies of liberty." The greater part of the citizens are adorn.
log themselves with tricoloured ritiantle. In a short time there will
doubtless be unanimity on that point. Every other insignia, in
point of fact, is that of a family or party. The tri.coloured flag is
alone national. It is the emblem of real liberty. We have seen
in the Place Vendome, and in the Hue de la Psi:' several English
ladies wearing the tricolour in their bosoms, and encouraging lite
people to defend their rights, and to punish the Ministers who have
rebelled against the country. The National Guard of Corbeil I.a.
seized on the powder.mill of }khan:l.l4-1m important capteie
under existing circumstances."

MILITARY INSPECTION, AND ROYAL BREAK -
r,cwr AT KENSINGTON GARDE:Ca.—This morning,
about nine o'clock, the troops ordered to be inspected by
his Majesty, assembled at the Regent's-park, consisting
of the Life Guards and Oxford Blues. Notwithstanding
the unfavourable state of the weather, this forenoon,
an immense concourse of spectators had assembled. The
King, several of the Royal Family, Duke of Wellington,
Lord Pill, &c. arrived at the barracks about half-past
ten—a grand salute announced the arrival of his Majesty
and attendants ; the hand struck up the national anthem,
amidst the shouts of the people. The troops advanced and
again saluted his Majesty, who expressed his high ap-
probation at the discipline and appearance of the men—
they went through their various evolutions with great pre-
cision, the band still playing. Soon after the King retired.
Kensington-gardens became the scene of attraction.
Tents and Marquees being pitched indifferent directions,
the females, elegantly attired, promenading the walks ; and
the numerous assemblages of the people in Hyde Park.
I made it appear like a camp; a large body of the police
were stationed to keep the peace, but no person
seemed inclined to break it. His Majesty had
not arrived—every eye was anxiously looking fur hint--
but it was generally believed that he would not arrive
before 1 or 2 o'clock.
