qualities eminently noble, and truly French, has
presented himself to the nation in the national uni-
form, and has offered, to the eyes of all a sure pledge

affability has, also demonstrated. It is thus that
Monsieur entered the.capital, elated with unanimous
joy at his appearance, and announced the auspicioui
return of his Majesty. The uniform ofalin National
Guards, already so honourable of itself., became
l more so on that occasion, and a generous emulation
was suddenly kindled in the breasts of all classes of
the 'State, to enter into the ranks, at the head of

I serve as a guide to the honour of Frenchmen, and to
' the loyalty and affection-of all, for his Majesty.—
This noble spirit otimulation, which burst forth in
Paris, has manifested itself With equal energy in the
great towns, and throughout the whole kingdom ;
and to it are to be ascribed the very brilliant and
iaffectionate preparations for the reception of his
Majesty.
This King, recalled by so many suffrages, and so
elevated by his CrOwn, as well as by his virtues, ap-
peared at lengthainong his people, and his looks
were fixed with profound satisfaction on tile breve
and faithful National Guards, whom he observed to
be proud •and happy to surround his person the
