pate in the satisfaction experience, ano mus

cd nv Announcing to you myself that the la
mented struggle in which the city OF Lyons has
heen for four DAYS engaged, has at last termna-
tod in the triumph of order, the laws and llber-
tv bv this new guarantee for our lnsttutlons,
which YOUR brave comrades OF the garrison OF
LYONS have sealed with their blood! Ihougn
we have to lament the loss Of so many brave
men and particularly that of Colonel Mounler,
who persisted goriously at the head OF the 2Sth,
we have at least the consolation OF 1eelng Ihat
the army of France has given new PROOF oi
its valour, its fidelity, and its patriotism: Wlsr,
through you, to thank the garrison OF Lyons,
and at the same time testify my full commence
that. on every occasion, the army Will snow tldt
If remains what it has shown itself at all times,
faithful to its duty and to its honor. 1t Will al
WAYS find me ready to second it, and it IS with
nv whole heart thatI appreciate the noble SEN
timents with which it is animated, as well as
the great services which it has rendered TO the
country" The moment the King concluded,
he was answered by cries Of Viue le Roi, Nue0
Fnmille Royale! uttered by every individual in
the Hall with an enthusiasm difficult to describe.
His Majesty, who was sensibly affected, spoke
again, and said, 9" | cannot express how am
impressed with the sentiments you have mani
tested with so much force. 1T is always with my
whole heart that renew those which bear to-
wards the army was brought up in its ranks,
and was ever ready to share its dangers, ana
identify myself with its glory, as had the hap
piness of doing in my youth" The eXclama-
tons Of Viue le Roi! were renewed with increa-
sed enthusiasm, and resounded through the hall
long after their Majesties had retired.
The disastrous events at Lyons, which nave
so painfully occupied the capital for the last few
DAYS, have been made the occasion OF another
attempt to disturb the tranquility of the capital;
which, though presenting nothing OF very
alarming character, cannot but be deeply de-
plored by every friend to public order The de-
SIGNS Of the pertubators had been however fore
SEEN and fully provided for by the Government
and every measure taken to defeat them. The
troops were consigned to their several barracks,
and strong pickets paraded the streets, on the
night of Saturday, but public tranquility can
scarcely be said to have been disturbed, tor
though handful Of disorderly individuals at
tempted to create some disturbance, in the Rue
Jean jacques Rousseau, the Rue st. Martin, and
other quarters they were too Insignificant in
number, and too alert in their movements at the
slightest approach Of the military, or civic force,
to inspire any thing in the nature OF alarm A
party, we presume branch OF the ABOVE pa
raded the Boulevards btWeen ten and II O'Clock,
singing the MorseHtaiSe, and shouting Virent les
Lyonnais! bas Ie Jyste Miliew between the
coupets. Upon arriving opposite the Guard
house situated on the Boulevard Bonnie Nouvel-
lie, occupied by picket of troops, they cheered
the soldiery with cries of Five la Ligne. The
detachment, who were drawn up before the post,
receive this compliment in perfect silence; the
band however appeard disposed to station them
selves on the spot, but on the preremptory sum-
mons Of the serjeant, they retreated with the ut
most rapidly Someother parties traversed the
streets, but displayed no disposition whatever to
tumult as they dispersed themselves upon the
appearance of the pickets with cries OF plDe la
Ligne! Five le Roi!
Yesterday the favorable news from Lyons
spread general qualification Throughout the capt.
tai, except among those who look to the reign
of tumult and disorder as a means OF turtherng
the purpose Of faction. This party had evil
IDENTITY been busy preparing means of insurrec-
ton, and though during the day every part of
Paris wore the most peaceful aspect towards
evening groups began to assemble near the Port
ST. Martin, and in several of the little streets
branching from the other end of the Rue ST..
Martin towards the River. The rappel soon be-
gan to beat to arms in every quarter, which was
answered by the National Guards at all points
with alacrity, and detachments of the citizen
troops united with the troops of the line, patrol
led the various streets. The enemies of public
order, however, contrived to elude the vigilance
Of the troops, and by Selling an omnibus and
some other vehicles which were passing, from
which they embarrassed the horses, rapidly
raised a barriacade at the corner Of the Rue
Jean Robert, and afterwards succeeded IN erect
ing others in the Rue Greniere ST. Lazare,
Rue Beaubourg, and the Rue QuincampoiX
near the Rue Aubry-le-Boucher all narrow
streets, and calculated to render an attack on
the part ofmilitary at once difficult and danger
Gus. The greater part of them, however, were
speedily taken possession of by the troops in
the most gallant manner supported by the Ma
tonal Guards but, we are sorry to say, not with
out some loss, principally on the part of the mis-
guided perturbators, and some wounded on the
side of the soldiery. The entire of the barri-
cades which presented very feeble obstacle
to the bravely Of the troops, would have been at
once destroyed but for the fall of night
The inhabitants at each end of the Rue st.
Martin, the Rue st. Denis and other places
where the military might require to act, sponta-
neously lighted up their windows, in order
to render the gallant defenders of public
order all the assistance in their power. The
devotion of the troops, seconded as it is by the
noble zeal of the National Guards, both of whom
have earned on this occasion new title to the
gratitude of their fellow citizens, are a sure
guarantee that the present madly rash attempt
will meet the fate of all those which have preced-
ed it, and terminate like them in discontinue
