state, that the Russian General Czeinicheff presented
tiimsAf before that place with 4;000 cavalry, and
that he summoned it to surrender, and to hoist' the
white fl tg. After considerable hesitation, the White
flag took place of the tri-coloured, and, the gates of
the town, which were not susceptible of any defenci,
were opened. An ailvanced'guard of ode- hundred
Russian cavalry soon entered, and traversed the town-

the Students of the Lyceum di Arts, whetted retired
into the Faubourg of Marne. • Some of the advanced
guard were killed ; the others withdrew precipitately,
and after having rode tl.rough the town is a gallop,
and with a different feeling to that with which.they
came, they rejoined their corps. The National Guards
and.the Students then returned 'lnto Chalons, and
shut the gates to make a defence, which was abso-
lutely use.ess. The Russian General dismounted 500
of his cavalry, who precipitated themselves upon the
palisades placed before the gates, overturning every
9bstacle, and spread themselves through the town,
of which many quarters were plundered for more
'than an hour. ,The National Guards, and the Stu-
dents of the Lyceum of Arts, who caused this disas-
ter, and who were not killed, have been made pri-
soners of war.. General Rigault, Commandant of
the place, is amengst the number of the latter.
The Journal Jr Paris of Wednesday contains the
;following paragraph :
0 They rate at the exorbitant sum of 100 millions
the war contribution demanded of the city of. Paris
by the Allies. We hope it will be moderated by thy
intervention of the King and of several Sovereigns
who renounce any participation in it. They rate it
2,500,000 the contribution of the town of Versailles,
and at four millions -that of the rest of the'district‘
It is said, also, that the contribution of the district of
Senlis is four millions."
'Dijon is still under the yoke.of -Imperial terrorism.
