FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, OCTOBLII. 8.
The most fortunate periods of the monarchy en,
-
beheld a more magnificent and more interiik!gr.
cortise than that with which the King was attended
yesterday in his progress from the Palace ot the
Thuilleries to that of the Legislative Body. r
• .very
Frenchman felt with pride that the Majesty ot the
Throne, eclipsed for a moment, was on this oecasiril
to be displayed with all its splendour to the eyes a
attentive Europe.
By niue o'clock many persons of distinction, L4d:
remarkable for their elegance and shining in
lustre of youth and beauty, had successively
pied all the seats around the hall and near the
doors. The galleries, which are usually npcn tor
the public, were filled in a moment, and in the
ness to obtain places-even Ildies were seen feariA"..l-•
passing along the c nice of the colonnade,
to get from one ar to another.
The King of P ia came in about I I CelGcli.
and took an obscure scat in the extremity

neither uniform nor decoiatirm, and was ic.cotapar,:Ni
by only two or three Prussian officers.
Seventeen carriages, with eight beers to eat'..
twelve of them in the livery of the King, and Cy,.
that of the Princes, first attracted the ate
neople, on account of their elegance and :7,.n,ter,
tflicir eyes were no less dazzled on stir,,T be
liant companies of body guards, rnitsket,r.t
horse, pens-d'armes, &c. who preceded and foiluW.:'
these carriages.
Nearly 8,000 men of the National Ginti.! wne
foot. Their tine appearance, the peel:ion of the,,
march, and of their mance lyres. produced epw 1,4
icigners an iliusian in which we readily pal ttei;,.a(
ourselves, by taking them for truops ut the ELI:, iu tae
hignest state of diwipline.
On the King coming not of th:ballitihtl,l.l:::
carriage, in which were likewise the the.. haiLes u,
his family, the cannon were Cued
fired on his retiring !torn the Legisl qty.: 'Lily, ati
on his re-entry into his palace. Artilleri,lL
Old Guard, destined to form a part of tr:e I;Jyli
guard, served the guns which announced ito
pawl the most august of all ceremonies.
But how is it tiosaible to describe the universal et.
joisiassn, the beautiful view which the amphithAto.
lot mad by the baunlities ot the Palais Bout bun, pre
sensed,—the unanimous and lengthened acelarnati i.
which burst forth the instant the King's c:attage
descried. The shouts el joy came from cite he.ir:,_
Aa.hearts were united as one. The vows made ti
Heaven, the hats, the handkerchiefs waved by som
the caps of the grmadiers of the Naticoal Guar:
hoisted upon their bayonets,—all WAS employed t:
express oar sentiments, and every obj Let puiiessed
peculiar eloquence.
When it was supp sed, that the King had eaten:
the Hall, and that lie was in ch.! act of add:es,i:!:
the kiipresentatives of the Nation, an affecting;
devout emotion pervaded the minds of all. When
carriage re-appeared, the transports of public
were ted.itthled. It seemed as if the iennense ce
course of people had. heard the paternal In:.oiag!
the King, and that every individual was al:xio7is t•
express the wish of the country, and the gratitej.o
all the citizens.
