who in their zeal instructed their fire, which i'm.
stead of reaching the insurgents, entered the win

tho imprudent though gallant manner in which they
exposed themselves, suffered considerably from
the calling fire of tho insurgents; regret to learn
that the Colonel of one of the legions was among
the victims. When these circumstances were
known at hosd quarters, several battalions of the
line, with two pieces of cannon, were sent to re.

Minister of War, proceeded thither in person. and
summoned them to surrender in discretion. They
demanded to capitulate, which refused; and the
Marshal told them that if they did not surrender in
ten minutes he should force the doors with the art

belief that the National Guards wero supporting
