LONDON, Sept. 20.
A young woman of the name of Lacombe was among the ranks of the patriots who boldly stormed the palace of the Tuilleries, amidst the havoc made by the fire of the Swiss guards.
Whilst the battle raged, she fought as if she had been equally a stranger to fear and to humanity, but when the enemy was overcome, and resistance was at an end, she appeared in the amiable garb of humanity, defending from violence and outrage, men who, having thrown down their arms, confessed themselves vanquished, and sued for quarter.
In one place she saved 70 Swiss soldiers from immediate slaughter, and collecting a chosen band of Federists, she put herself at their head, and placing these 70 men in the centre, protected them through crowds of people, who cried out for their blood, which they said ought to be shed to revenge the death of the brave patriots whom these Swiss had slain.
But this truly gallant Amazon declared, that those who should attack these disarmed prisoners must first take her life :-nor did she quit them till she had conveyed them to prison, and thus secured them from every other vengeance save that of the law.
The Federists of the 82 departments, who had witnessed both her bravery in the attack, and her humanity after victory, bestowed upon her a civic crown, as the reward of her virtues: She appeared, on Saturday last, at the bar of the National Assembly, and presented this crown to the president; as homage paid to the patriotism of the Legislature.
She was invited to sit within the bar ; and honorable mention of her and her offering was made in the journals.
