who had DESTROYED the Archbishop's Palace, to
enable .iem, after wantonly destroying articles OF
value one evening. to buy up. amidst loud hllari-
~. the fragments of their pious labors Oh the
next. Here we're boatmen who had tshed up
some of the Archbshop's books, containing wet
and torn leaves of folio volumes. the thick and
splendid binding of which had resisted both the
Vandals and the elements. | examined several,
and bought a fcw.-One an illuminated Ponta-

moisture 1t was the boast of the vendors OF these
articles. that each book was torn and kicked be-
fore it was flung from the windows, so that the
Priests could no longer make use OF 1t to humbug
the people. Bits of bands and rent sacerdotal
garments were handing about and selling as tro-
plies of the Archbishop's spells for few halt
pence; and children were picking up out OF
smouldcrDg piles little fragments, and repeating
the coarse epllhets which were in universal use
around them. Drurv lane Theatre after its conila'
grafton did not exhibit more complete RUIN than
does now the spacious palace, which was once
that of the ArchbishOps of Paris.
TO this war of the mob against the FLEUR DE
LIS, the emblem of the ancient glory OF France,
the king has found himself weak as to be
Obliged to yield. On the 10th the Moniteur con-
tanned Royal ordinance which provides that in
future the state seal shall represent an open book,
with the sceptre and hand of justice crossed, and
trcolored flags behind the shield. And the FOL-
lowing notice was issued from the Kings Cabi-
net. on the l7th:-
ssThe King. in continuing the fieurs- de-lis on
the State seal, has considered them as nothing
more than an emblem which has been that of
France for several centuries, and which recalled
facts honorable to his ancestors, and glorious to
the nation. But some cul pable attempts have
made them a ralIying sign for the enemies OF the
newdynasty, s. of our institutions, and as public
opinion beaolds in these emblems nothing but re-
cent 0dous recoilections the King has discard
ed all other considerations, aud issued an ordi-
nance to change the State Seal. At the same
time His Majesty has given orders to remove the
heurs-de-ls where it can be done without delac-
ing the public monuments, and without renewing
the mutatiOnS OCcaSl0ned by the removal III loit
of the emblems of the republic, and the reign OF
Napoleon. Already the bias reefs which had
been taken down from the triumphai arch on the
place du Carouse at the restoration, are being re-
placed by the Kings orders"
+ The Moniteur of the 18th informs US that at
half past o'clock on the morning of that day,
the king. accompanied by the Princes, his sons,
by Marshal Gerard, General PajoI. and several
General officers, went to the place de Carouse
to review twelve battalions of the National Guard
of Paris and the suburbs, two detachments OF TIE
Line, several delachments Of the Cavalry OF the
National Guard, and Of the garrison.
The King delivered the following address to
the troops, which had detiled before him
"My dear Comradcs-always faithful to France,
always devoted to my country, it is for her--it Is
alone for her interest-that have accepted the
Throne, to which have been called by the voice
of the people. | shall guard loyalty this honora-
bic rust, to defend it against all our enemies,
whoever they may be; to maintain our instiu-
tons, our laws, our Liberties, to sustain the ma
