HAVRE.

(Retract from a private letter.)
The citizens of Have have been no less courageous than those of
Rouen. The garrison has imitated their example.

AVe are assured that an engagement has taken place at Caen, and
that the friends of liberty and the laws have had the advantage of
the armee& force.

The Globe has paid hs debt of blood to France. One of OUT co.
adjourn, G. Farcy, was kilkti yesterday in the attack upon the
Tuileries. This noble victim of a noble cause has prematurely
gained the object of his existence ; but he has won by his coulage
the glory winch lie expected to reap only by the labours of his mind.
While the late patrioticstruggle was going on in Paris, some young
men who wished to propagate the impulse beyond the capital, hur.
ried to the communes in the neighbourhood of Paris, and circulated
proclamations inviting the citizens to form themselves into national
guards. Yesterday morning at half-past four the tocsin was sounded
at Mont Rouge, Vaugirard, holy, and Vannes. At Versailles, at
eleven in the morning, the generate was beat, and the guard-house
forced to surrender arms. The National Guard immediately occu-
pied all the poste. At Sevres, in the face of the guard-houses and
of the echool of St. Cyr, which guarded the bridge with artillery,
the white flag was torn down from the park-gate, and the National
Guard took up anus and occupied the posts. Even at Boulogne. a
commune bounded by St. Cloud and the Bois de Boulogne, procla-
mations have been read, and the people are organizing themselves in
the face of the troops. It seems certain that the Duchess d'Angou-
leme has arrived in the course of the day at St. Cloud. Immedi.
ately after her arrival, the departure for the North of France was
determined on. It is said that Charles X. proceeds by the way of
Chantilly and Compiegne. He will probably be followed by a
very feeble escort, for almost all the disposable horses had been dis-
abled in the attack of the troops of the guard upon Paris. The sol-
diers encamped at Boulogne and St Cloud have refused to make any
movement. The officers of the Guard had replied to a deputation
of officers of the line and pupils of the Polytechnic School, who
waited on them in the afternoon, that they were resolved not to bear
arms in the cause of tyranny against their fellow.citizens ; but that
oaths which they still conceived themselves bound to respect, pre.
vented them from joining them in Paris ; but that they hoped soon
to see themselves free."

PARIS, Jrxx 30.
The traits of the heroism of Parisian probity arc innumerable,'
and all equally worthy of eternal remembrance. We would not
willingly omit one of them, but the task is above the strength of
the press !itself, which we may justly denominate the French Her.
caries. We are only going to cite those which we have been able to
ct.liect in haste at the present moment. This morning, the 30th, at
the corner of the rue Montmartre and of the Boulevard, some
citizens who were clearly modest artisans, passed along under the
command of one of their comrades, who had been appointed their
chief on account of his age, good sense, and experience. At the
point of their weapons were fixed loaves of bread and some fowls,
which had been regularly distribated among them. Several
men of this troop, finding themselves opposite a wine-vault,
separated from 1 it, for the purpose of getting some spirit'',
but soon returned to their ranks at the voice of their commander.
" To clay," said he to them, " not one drop of brandy—not one
drop of wine, without water, must any of us drink. We must
carry all drunkards to the guard-house." All the brave men by
whom he was accompanied set up an immediate cry, " Our
Captain is right I " and went their way, ready to fight, even fasting,
ready to meet death, without any other stimulus than their generous
and ardent love for their country, and. foe :liberty. A young man,
mounted upon every valuable horse, and, bow Ms dress and equip-
ments, evidently of wealth, asked in every quarter for arms, in alder
that he might hasten to the place where they were fighting, and that
he might join hi the common defence. He perceived a good
musket in the bands of a brave mechanic, whose dress dewier.
ed him to be nothing more than a poor scavenger. "My friend,"
cried the young man, " I will give you 100 francs for your
piece." " Oh, no, Sir," replied he, t' it's my best friend." " I
will give you MIO francs." " No, Sir ; it has already brought two
of our foes to the ground, and it will bring down more still. I shall
keep my good friend.' At the gates of the Tuileries an MAL
vidual, who was found pillaging, created himself by his own au-
thority general, formed a guard, and planted sentinels, with orders
to shout every man who was found leaving the spot. The order
was executed, and every body caught carrying off stolen goods was

' '

severely chastised, and compelled to surrender what he had taken.
Some new trousers were found in one of the barracks of the gen-
darmerie. Some individuals, with a slight degree of rtuarderie,
put these trousers on over those which they were themselves wearing.
The trousers were immediately torn to pieces by their comrades:—
there was an unanimous cry amongst them—' We came here to con- ,
quer, not to rob." Here some poor workmen, having forced the shop
of a gunsmith, who had already surrendered his treasury and powder,
bought for more in all quarters, even among his furniture. In one
of his drawers they found some money and a bill. One of them
shut the drawer instantly, and said, • This is not what we were
looking after.' Two brave mechanics, whose names we are sorry
that we could not learn, having entered among the first into that
part of the Tuilleries which the Duchess of Berry inhabited, found
there a casket of bronze, enclosing a large sum in gold. Overcome
by the load of it, at the moment they entered the court of the
Louvre, they asked a citizen to join them, for the purpose of pro-
tecting their treasure against invasion. The three then repaired to
the Hotel de Ville, where the precious burden was deposited,
without asking or receiving any reward. An officer of the Na-
tional Guard recommended an ordinary mechanic to prevent the
people from carrying anything away from the Tuileries. •Be
quiet, my captain,' said he 'we have changed our government,
but not our consciences' The most perfect tranquillity prevailed
during the night : part of the town was illuminated, particularly
the streets St. Denis, St. Martin, St. Jacques, and the neigh-
bourhood of the Hotel de Ville. Strong patrols silently paraded
the streets, passed gently from barricade to barricade, and disarmed
those individuals whom fatigue and the heat of the weather, more
Man wine, had rendered incapable of employing their weapons use-
fully. There real equality, the equality of rights and of duties,
reigned in full force,—the difference of ranks disappeared,—all
marched boldly forward to the same end ; all took for their rallying
I words the cry of Protection to persons, respect to property.' Dr.
Laberge, who was met in every quarter where the conquered were
Ito be protected from the resentment of the conquerors, and where
the wounded stood in need of medical assistance, had just placed the
first dressing on the wound of a citizen, who had been hit by a ball
on the head. A board was necessary to remove the wounded man.
The doctor asked an agent of the police for one ; he replied, • I have
no boards (brauca its) for such rabble.' It was necessary to find some
other means of removing the wounded man ; he is now in the hos.
pital of Charity. The officer commanding the Swiss Guard at the
Louvre, near the rue de Coq, and 51. Duval Lecamus, agreed to
Ilobserve a truce for an hour. At the very moment these two gen.
demon were conversing together, a public functionary pointed his
musket, and was going to tire. The officer reproved him severely,
and ordered his soldiers to carry him to the guard-house. The
truce having come to an end, and the attack of the Louvre having
recommenced, a brave man, dressed in a coarse blue frock, with •
pistol in his hand, advanced boldly to the grate, and his pistol,
which he pointed at the functionary, having flashed: in the pan,
he r.rimed it anew, ordering the guard to open the grate, or he
would fire again. This bold summons obtained a prompt obe.
dience. The Swiss retreated towards the Thuileries, and the
grating of the Louvre was soon opened.
A petition has been addressed to the Deputies, which terminates
thus :—• On the sth of July, 1815, the Chamber of Represents.
tires, under the fire of a foreign enemy, in the presence of hostile
bayonets, proclaimed principles conservatory of the rights of citizens,
and protested against every act which was calculated to impose
upon France a government and institutions which were not in sym.
pathy with its wishes and interests. These are the principles which
we ought to adopt at present. Let them serve as a rallying point.
The Chamber of 1813 bequeathed them to a fututity which now be.
longs to us. Let us enter into the enjoyment of that inheritance,
and turn it to the advantage of the people and of liberty. The
members of a committee, named by a great number of the different
arrondissements of Paris, meeting in the Rue de Richelieu, No. 47.
Paris, July 30.
(Signed) CH EVA LIE R, President.
The squadron of enhance» which fought with the
,Parisians
before the Hotel de Ville de Paris arrived at Versailles yesterday so
audit' handled, that out of 130 or 150 men it could count no more
than 40. The other squadrons, who have to reproach themselves
with having charged in other quarters the capital masses of people,
originally inoffensive, have experienced losses in the same proportion.
What remains of this regiment is in despair and would be
inclined to submit, if it might be, permitted to retain its arms.
The Dauphin has distributed money among them as well as
among the other troops who fell upon the Parisian populace.—
It is said every man, has received 50 francs with a promise
of receiving still more, if the guard can succeed in re-entering
Paris. In expectation of that event, which the capital need scarcely
fear, the soldiers fill the public-houses at Ville d'Avray,
Versailles' and the neighbouring communes, to which the
effected their retreat. There they are eating and drinking away the
money given to them by the Dauphin. It has been remarked, that
among these military men this royal generosity is appreciated as it
deserves, considering the desperation of their cause. To-day at two
o'clock some regiments of the royal guard still occupied Sevres and
St. Cloud. The bridges of those places were each occupied by two
field-pieces. Tha Dauphin has reviewed the different corps which
have rallied, and has announced to them that the King has abdi-
cated in his favour. This declaration, according to report, has pro.
duced but a very trifling effect upon the troops, which that event
can only demoralize still more. We are assured that yesterday the
Dauphin went to the Tuileries to address the Swiss troops, who
second time have sacrificed themselves, against which their
country would fight, if it had any existence within its limits.
The perfidious coursellors of Charles X. have persevered in
, keeping him blindfolded in order that they might the more easily
precipitate him into the abyss. It was only last Tuesday, that the
most faithful servants of the monarchy, but at the same time the
most sincere friends of our constitutional institutions, pressed the
Prince de Polignac to send in his resignation. One of these servants
' of the King, not fearing to expose himself to a harsh reception from
the monarch, promised to seek His Majesty, to present him with a
picture of the evils which the maintenance of the ordinances of the
bth of July must necessarily cause, to conjure him to hear the wishes
of the people, and to prevent a longer effusion of blood. Polignac
persisted in his barbarous resolution of maintaining himself in power,
and of risking the crown of his master in a civil war. The blood
which has been shed since must fall upon his guilty head. It is
known by the returns made to the Duke of Ragusa on Wednesday
evening, that the Royal Guard lost that day 600 men in killed and
wounded. Those who saw the ensign, who on the 29th pre-
sented himself in the Palace du Carrousel at the moment when
the attack on the Tuileries was going to commence, admire the
noble courage of that citizen who advanced, accompanied only by
two of his comrades. He advanced in ordinary time up to the
triumphal arch, without having made a single retrograde motion, al-
though more than a thousand musket.shots were fired at him from
the Castle, without any one, fortunately, hitting him. He then in.
trenched himself behind he triumphal arch, where he kept his
ground until the Castle was taken by the Parisians. Although the
Royal Guard, the Swiss, and the gendarmerie have not spared the
people, still the lives of a very large number of the soldiers Of this
corps have been spared. They have drunk with the people, and
after their defeate have been generously preserved by the people.
' Many of them have been received and dressed at the Church of St.
Germain Auxerrois, which has been converted into an hospital.
The galleries Vivienne and Colbert exhibited an affecting spectacle
this evening. All the women who have stalls there were at the
doors busily engaged in making lint and bandages for the wounded,
