LIONR, MARCH tl.
Honour, Mu, ~.ountr.y.—At last we have again
beheld those a thousand times triumphant,
and never vanquished! We have seen them again,
and our hearts leapt with joy 1 At sight of them we
exclaimed, Behold the honour and the glory of the court-

fry ; and if could have forgotten fora single mo-
ment that French blood flows in our veins, the rglet
of the Hero of Marengo, of Jena, and of Auster-
litz, and of his faithful companions in arms, would
have recalled us to that proud and noble• character
which has always distinguished the Lyonese.
Oh ! what a day was that of the• 10th of March :
who can describe it as it dcservcs, that the immlrtal

picture may be deposited in the. annals of the city !
We knew, five days ago, that the Emperor had
landed in Provence, and was advancing an Grenoble
by way of Digne ana Gap. The news of his en-
trance into Grenoble reached us on the evening of the
Bth ; and we .at the same time learned that the garri-
son of that city had flown to meet the Monarch re-
Stored to the admiration, to the wishes of the French
•nnd of the army. Joy was there seen impressed on
every countenance ; the cry of " alive l'Empereur"
did net yet escape from all mouths ; but it was in all
hearts, excepting the perfidious and insensible hearts
of some traitors, vile enough to seek their own ele-
vation in the degradation of their country.
In the mean time Monsieur the Count D'Artois
arived within our walls, with the Duke of Orleans,
and Count de Darn!as. The 20th regiment* drawn
from Montbrison, reinforced the garrison of Lyons,
composed of the 24th light infantry and the ISth dra-
goons. An appeal was made to a portion of the
guards. The two bridges on the Rhone were barri-
cadoed ; the Prince passed the troops in review, and
endeavoured to animate them for the royal cause.
V.sin efforts ! The last and useless resource of a weak
gnvernment, which could neither reanimate affec-
tions long since extinguished, nor make the army for-
gtt those colours which, during 9..5 years, passed
ti nimphant through all the capitals of Europe, and
exalted the French name to the highest degree of ce-
lebrity.

in the morning the Prince made another attempt
on the spirit of the soldiers; he went through all
the ranks, but he found them frozen ; he saw that
it was then necessary to resolve on departing and
carrying off the troop.
The Marshal Duke of Tarentum having arrived
in the morning, visited the two bridges ; prepara-
ikons for resistance appeared to recommence j the
reginr_nts approached the bridges, but every one
kri,:w that the advanced posts of the Emperor were
on the left bank of the Rhone, in the Faubourg
Gui;lotiere, where their presence excited the most
lively ..iithusiasm. It was also known that all the
sol4wrs were only waiting for their brothers in arms,
to embrace them ; and for the Emperor, to salute
Lim again as the support of the country. The Ly-
onese already called aloud for that powerful genius
who had rebuilt their city, desolated by the anar-
chists ; who protected their commerce, and mane
their manufactures flourish ; and who, perhaps; had
tally been uniottunate, because he wished to do too
much good to France.
At two in the afternoon, the Duke of Tarentum
conducted upon the bridge of la Guillotiere two bat-
talions of infantry. Wfile they were approaching
tt.ie barricades, the 4th hussars, who had rejoined the

eagles at Grenoble, defiled from the faubourg Guil-
lotiere, and entered upon the bridge, preceded by
abort one hundred young people of the faubourg,
crying out like them, Vive rEntrereur ! The troops
tra both sides joined at the barricades. Here the
same cry simultaneously issued from every mouth :
the beams and trees which blocked up the road were
thrown into the Rhone : the soldiers embraced with
tonspott, and began their march to the city. More
ciao 20,000 inhabitants ranged along the quay of the
Iti‘one; and the (;ours Napoleon, where they were
witnesses of this new sort of war, and rent the air
with their acclamations : all the officers and soldiers
of the itOth and 21411 of the line, and of the 15th
cisagoom, gave themselves up at last to the move-
menu of their hearts. There was only one cry of
Vive PEnepereur ! They ran before the hussars, and
then all drew up on the place Bonaparte.
The Duke of Tatrentum precipitately retired, as
well as Count de Dams, the Governor. Count de
Chabrol, the Prefect, in like manner, quitted thecity.
All the superior officers remained ; and it was with
the most lively satisfaction that the soldiers saw
amongst them the General of Division Brayer.
At five o'clock the garrison proceeded to the
tpyidge LA Guillotiere, and beyond it, to meet the
Emperor. At half past it:, the army which came
from Grenoble began its entrance into Lyons, amidst
the same acclamations. At seven otclock the inhes.

and 'possessing 'the Emperor of the French, and of
lavishing on him new narks of their fildelity and aft
