the song WAS changed to burst of
fury, which will mot soon be forgotten
by those who heard it. The process

unanimous shrek or cry of vengeance!
You know how sonorous is that word
when pronounced in French. The
dead bodies in he cart were those who
fell under the FIRE OF the soldiers above
mentioned.
The night was an awful one. The
noise of wotkmrn appear to break on
the stiffness. Having heard similar
one in 1910, I guessed VIVA. was 60

ton was posted ora the walls of Paris:
Citizens of Paris:-The King has
abdicated. The crown, bestowed BY
the revolution Of July, is now placed
on the head Of child, protected by
his mother. They are both under the
safeguard of the honor and courage of
the Partisan population. All cause Of
division amongst US has ceased to ex.
list. Orders have been given to the
troops Of the Hire to return to their re-
spective quarters Our brave army
can be better employed than in she'd
ding its blood in so dcplorable COLI
SaOn.
My beloved fellow citizens From
this moment the maintenance of order
is entrusted to the courage and pru-
dence ofthe people Of Paris a4sd its
heroic National Guard. They have
ever been faithful to our noble coun-
try. They will not desert it in this
grave emergency.

porary calm, but the unfortunate &C.
currence at she Foreign Affairs last
night threatens to change the charac-
ter of the struggle. Large pools OF
blood are still on the asphaltic pave

and the Rue Basse du Rampant. The
people forgot that the troops only fired
when their colonel was brutaly shot.

ried in procession through the streets
and the BouIevards, and ultimately
smashed TO pieces. A similar scene
of destruction took place at the Palais
Royal. All the furniture was taken
out and burnt ia the court.

at once commander of the National
Guard and Of the troops ofthe line.
