and remained there until the end of
the battle.
The neighbourhood of the Hotel de
Vile was the theatre of still more
dreadful conflict. The people occu-
pied the Quai Pelleteir and the Place
de Greye. After most sanguinary
struggle, they were slowly beaten from
the Quay into the Place, which, with
the Hotel de Vile, they maintained IA
gainst some ofthe finest troops i'm the
universe throughout the day, and until
those troops retreated.
The Lieutenancy Of the Kingdom is
offered to the Due d'Orlcans. The
King is said to have gone to Lille. All
the emblems Of Royalty are removed,
and the names of streets referring to it
are expunged. The Deputies are a
gain assembled this moment at La
Fitte's.
What depIorable act was the issu-
ing of the Ordonance OH Monday last!
What slaughter has ensued! What
changes have been effected by it!
Respecting renewal ofthe engage
ment, repeat my hope that twill not
be attempted. Several Of the officers
oftbe Gardo Royafe who fought on
Wednesday, have resigned their COM
missions; among others Count I think }
Lotour du Pin, giving as his reason,
his objection to fight against his coun-
trymen. Ifthis examplo-be widely inn
itated, the affair will end without fur
ther bloodshed; if not, the contempla-
ton is too horrible to be entertained
for moment.
The shops are still very generally
closed, Notwithstanding the proclama-
ton of the municipality. As you may
suppose, much distress would be felt
by the people being all unemployed,
had not arrangements been made for
their Subsistence. The families requir-
ing aid, receive bread and other pro-
visions. The men on duty, in like
manner, receive bread, cheese, meat
and wine, which the different parties
parade through the streets, preceded
by drum.
The order that prevails, reflects up
on the people and their Chiefs the
highest honor. The National Guard
will have immortalized itself by its ex-
emplary conduct, in protecting persons
and property from possible injury. To
the credit ofthe Parisians be it known,
that amid all their excitement, no for
eigner has been insuIted; but | should
exhaust all terms of eulogy, were to
dwell upon the valour Of the French
during the combat, and their excellent
conduct when even flushed with victo-
ry over an obstinate and brave enemy.
Moaey is not to DO had. The mon
ey changers have all disappeared, so
that foreign coin, or securities; cannot
be turned into French specie.
On the evening of Wednesday, an
eagle (of one of Napoleon's old regi-
ments) was mounted over the triumphal
arch in the Place du Carousal, togeth-
er with the tri-coloured flag. The flag
remains, but the eagle has been taken
down.--The tri-coloured cockade or
breast knot, is general, not only among
the French but Russians, English Ger
mans, Danes, and other foreigners.
The reader will have noticed the
name of the venerable LAFiyETrE, as
the cOmmander-in chief ofthe National
Guard. A noble champion in noble
cause! The Uniform, steadtast, jealous
defender of liberty and the rights OF
man! The Duke of Orleans has been
appointed by the Deputies, Lieut.. Gen
eral of the Kingdom, and has accepted
the appointment.
