A young and pretty girl, 19 years of age, who, during the three days appeared in front of the combatants armed with a musket, acquired such an ascendency over the citizens, that they regarded her almost as their captain. Intrepid on the field of battle, she lavished her kind attentions on the wounded when the firing had ceased. So much heroism, devotion, and humanity, excited the enthusiasm of all who witnessed it. On Saturday night this young girl was borne in triumph through the streets of Paris. A great crowd accompanied her shouting cries of joy. In one hand she held a sword, and in the other the tri-colored flag. Lighted torches shed a brilliancy on this gay cortege.—Paris papers.
