All the armed sections of Paris, are at this moment assembled at the Place de la Revolution, there where the last King of the French died on the scaffold, to vow the destruction of tyrants, renew their oath to live free or die, and exhibit the sacred cause of liberty and equality triumphant. Were those who still cherish the frantic and culpable hope of reviving tyranny, but to witness this sublime spectacle; were they but to behold the heroic enthusiasm which animates all France, they would no longer dare the combat, would no more endeavor to rivet their own fetters; they would then be convinced of the utter impossibility of subduing such a people.
The number of prisoners in Paris on the 23d, was 5,202.
