APRIL 18. -ORDER OF THE DAY.

44 Odious reports have been spread as to the conduct
of the 10th Regitnent of the line : it is pretended that
one of its battalions passed the bridge of the Drome,
and hoisted the tri-coloured flag—that the soldiers of
the 39th then advanced with confidence to embrace
their comrades, but suddenly, by the blackest trea-
chery, the 10th Regiment resumed the white 11,1 g,
fired upon and killed some men of the 39th.
. .

GI I have. eiamined witnesses on both sides, and the
result of my Wl:caution enables me to assure the
arasy thu these reports are entirely false, and that
the following circumstances, which were misrepre.
sented by the spirit of party, have alone given rise to
these absurd lies.

" Fifteen. Voltigeurs of the 10th, who preceded
the regiment, waved their muskets in the air, crying
Vive PErnftereur ! Two companies of grenadiers of
the same regiment followed them at the pas de charge;
a strong wind prevented them from hearing the cries
of Vive I' Ernitereur ! the two troops of the 10th and
39th thinking themselves charged upon by each
other, an involuntary engagement took place: some
misled men to whom the name of national guards
had been given, maltreated and pillaged some sol-
diers of the 39th who had been seduced among them
by the idea of security. _ _

66 Thus the 10th regiment has not betrayed the
confidence of the 39th, nor tarnished the glory which
it had acquired. _

Officers who are no longer in its ranks, and who
had never fought in those of the French army, had
for a moment inveigled it in consequence of public
events being unknown. The whole corps is eager to
express its devotion and respect for the Emperor ; its
regrets for the past, and its desire to signalize itself
in future for the Emperor and the country.
