that Prussia Russia, and Austria committing in
different parts Of the country Thousands Of spectators
ladies and gentlemen congregated in the garden of the
Tulcrcs, under the shade of the magnificent forest
which adorns it, to witness the approach and passage
of the procession This grave question discussed
there in the most earnest manner by thousands-the
whole assembagc great debating club discussing
the question upon the decision Of which, depends the
peace of Europe-for time, at least At about
O'Clock, there rush to the margin Of the cmbank
men and the head Of the procession was then ap

line and Rue Royal. The French chapeaux waved in
numbers at the head and throughout the whole length
of this imposing body Of men They had neither arms,

mass Of people attracted tho north the bridge
