II II VIII keep It's promise.
/ The Chamber of Deputies will assem-
bic on the Sd ofAugust.
The Peers now at Paris have assem-
blcd, to consider of what was to be done
in the present state Of things.
This morning the Louvre and the
Tuicries, which were defended by the
Swiss, were taken, after brisk and long
supported fire. This evening the Roy
al Guard, which left Paris at 2 o'clock,
retreatcd behind the barrier de L'Etoile
Its lines extend as far as Passy.
For these three days we have been
witnesses of the greatest civil courage
ever seen in Europe. Courage, energy,
prudence, profound consciousness of its
rights and its duties, all were united!
Never did Paris-never did any capital,
offer such spectacle.
Early on Wednesday morning the cit
izens made only one army. The Ma
tional Guard appeared in uniform, and
was hailed with gratitude and respect.
The crowd joined these citizens; it found
powder and arms Then they marched
to the Place dc Greve. The Hotel de
Vile was several times taken and re-
taken. AT last it remained in the hands
of the Constitutional party. The fire of
the musketry continued till very late
hour in the night.
After the first combat the troops ofthe
line, who behaved with the most laudable
moderation, down with their arms, land held
out their hands to their fcllow-citiZens
and brethren. The gendarmese soon
followed the example. The Royal
Guard at length yielded, like the others.
1t is a singular spectacle to see the sol
diers disarmed, mingled with the armed
citizens. They had exchanged their
parts and their duties.
The Swiss have surrendered. The
people have been content with disarming
them.
The National Guard is re-organizcd;
patroles, in uniform, traverse the city.
Tranquility every where prevails.
The Mayors of the commures in the
environs of Paris have taken measures
to organise legal resistance.
An investigation has been made which
shows that there is in Paris flour for six
weeks consumption; there is, therefore,
no reason to fear scarcity.
Yesterday several Deputies, viz Mes
srs. General Gerard, Count de Lobau,
Laffitc, Cassimir Pcrrier, and Mangui
went, amidst the fire of the musk etry, to
the Marshal Duke Ragusa. NJ. Lafiite,
spoke, and represented to the Mar
shal the deplorable state of the capital
blood flowing in all directions-thc mus
kerry firing as in a town taken BY
storm; he made him personally RESPONSE
BILE, in the name of the assembled De-,
puties of France, for the fatal conse-
uuences or 30 IncIancnoiy all event.
The Marshal replied, "The honour of
a soldier is obedience. "And the civil
honor" replied M. LafIite, els not to
the citizens" Then the mar
shal said, "But gentlemen, what are the
you propose" "Without judg-
ing too highly our ofinhuence, we think
that we can be answerable that every
thing will return to order on the follow
ing conditions:-The revocation of the
illegal ordinances of the Goth July-the
ofthe Ministers, and the convO-
cation of the Chambers on the Sd Au-
gust"
The Marshal agreed that, as citizen,
he might, perhaps, not disapproye-nay,
might even participate in the opinions of
The Deputies; but that as soldier, he
had his orders, and only carried them in
20 execution. But however, he engag-
ed to submit their proposals to the King
IN halfan hour. "But," added the Mar
shall, elf you wish, Gentlemen, to have
a conference on this subject with M. de
Polignac, he is close at hand, and l will
20 and ask him if he can receive you"
A quarter of an hour passed; the Mar
'hal returned, with his countenance
much changed, and told the Deputies
hat M. de Polignac had declared to him
hat the conditions proposed rendered
my conference useless.
"We have, then, civil war;" said Nj.
Laflite.
The Marshal bowed, and the Depu-
les retired
This morning, while the Deputies
we're deliberating, letter was delivered
0 General Gerard from the Commander
f one of the regiments of the garrison of
Paris, stating that if the General would
end Colonel, the regiment would obey
lis orders. The General Immediately

he command of the regiment. The
anne happened with another corps. Gen.
Gerard took the command of both, and
ddressed an energetic speech to them,
nd thanked them for prcierring their I
ountry and real military honor above all '
lings. u
