{ions up tlie Saone, and towards the Upper Loire; and 
Suchet retired with his army towards MontreiTon and 
Raonne, on the left bank of that river. 
While thefe events were going on, the Swifs had joined 
the allies; and their army, amounting to 31,000 men, 
occupied a pofition from Morteau to Pontarlier, with 
light troops, advanced on their right and left, to St. Hy- 
polite and Salins. Jourdan, who had been fent by the 
provifional government to afiume the command at Be- 
l’angon and the troops in that quarter, fent, on the nth 
of July, an aid-de-camp to the Swifs general, Caftella, to 
inform him of the fubmiffion of Befancon to the king’s 
authority, and requefting, in confequence, a fufpenfion 
of arms between his forces and the Swifs army. This 
was granted, upon condition that the French troops fta- 
tioned at Salins lliould be withdrawn, in order to allow 
the Swifs troops to move forward. Accordingly, the 
Swifs army, amounting to 31,000 men, advanced into 
France; and, extending themfelves, occupied the whole 
department of theDoubs. General Lecourbe concluded 
an armiftice with the Aultrian general Colloredo, by vir¬ 
tue of which he alfo retired to the left bank of the Loire, 
and Befort as well as Befangon were occupied by the 
Aultrian troops. The,grand army, under Schwartzen- 
berg, compofed of Ruffian, Aultrian, and Bavarian, troops, 
covered all the country along the Marne, the Seine, and 
the Yonne; and extending themfelves to the Loire, 
ftretched from Orleans along that river, to the point 
where they came in communication with the Aultrian 
army from Italy. Weftward, the Pruffian army, extend¬ 
ed from Orleans to Tours and Nantz, and on both banks of 
the Lower Loire; while the Britifh, Hanoverian, and 
other troops, under Wellington, extended themfelves to¬ 
wards Brittany, and the coalts of the channel, and alfo 
along the Loire, to its junction with the ocean. Befides 
thefe forces, Itrong diviiions of troops of all the allied 
nations were affiembled in and around Paris; while nume¬ 
rous corps kept up the communications with Germany, 
the Netherlands, Italy, and Swilferland ; and formidable 
diviiions blockaded, befieged, or garrifoned, all the forti¬ 
fied places, either in the interior of thofe parts of France, 
or on the frontiers. 
In the mean time feveral places acknowledged the au¬ 
thority of the king, though they would not admit the 
troops of the allies. In the fouth of France, which con¬ 
tained a great number of royalills, fevere commotions, ac¬ 
companied with bloodffied, took place between them and 
the foldiers. At Marfeilies the people rofe upon the 
garrifon, and drove them out of the place, even before 
they had heard of the capture of Paris. Marlhal Brune, 
however, returned with a ftronger force, and again reco¬ 
vered poffeffion of the place. He ordered the tri-coloured 
flag to be covered with crape, as a mark of the forrow of 
the army for the events which had taken place. The ar¬ 
rival, however, of a Britifh force under lord Exmouth 
and fir Hudfon Lowe, confiding of 3000 men from the 
garrifon of Genoa, on the 10th of July, freed Marfeilies 
from all further uneafinefs. Marlhal Brune, with the force 
under his command retreated to Toulon. This impor¬ 
tant place he was alfo forced to give up, after various ne¬ 
gotiations with the Britifh officers and the marquis de la 
Riviere. The garrifon of Toulon confided of fix regi¬ 
ments of the line, a regiment of marines, a detachment 
of three hundred cavalry, artillery, veterans, &c. and a 
battalion of half-pay officers and federalifts, called le hat- 
talifinJ'acrS, moft of whom, with marlhal Murat and fome 
of his adherents, were fuffered to quit Toulon. 
Marlhal Brune afterwards delivered himfelf up to the 
marquis de la Riviere, to be fent to Paris. In his way 
thither, however, on the morning of the 2d of Auguft, as 
the marlhal and his fuite were palling through Avignon, 
the carriage was flopped and furrounded by a party of 
royalifts. They exclaimed that he mull fuffer the fate of 
the duchefs of Lamballe, whofe head they charged him 
with having carried on the top of a pike. The civil au¬ 
thorities were unable to protefl: him. He darted from his 
carriage, and fought refuge in the Palais Royal Hotel. 
The populace mounted the roof, and penetrated into the 
lioufe. Having got a view of the marlhal, they fired at 
him. On the lecond Ihot the bullet entered the back of 
his neck, and palled quite through : he fell dead. It was 
propofed to bury the body immediately ; but the royalifts 
interfered, treated it with the greateft indignity, and at 
length threw it into the Rhone. A fellow named Guin- 
don, alias Roquefort, one of the moft violent among the 
populace on that day, was tried and found guilty of the 
murder during the prelent year, (1821.) but whether be 
has been punilhed we have not been able to learn. 
At Bourdeaux, general Claufel had a conliderable force, 
with which he was enabled to keep the inhabitants in that 
part of the country in fubjeftion. He determined to 
maintain himfelf as long as he could, in order that he 
might enfure favourable terms for himfelf and his troops. 
But, at length, having learned the events at Paris, and 
knowing the difpofition of the inhabitants of the country 
around him, and thofe of Bourdeaux in particular, he 
entered into negociations with the French and Britifh 
officers, which ended in the white flag being hoifted on 
the caftle of Bourdeaux, and over all the furrounding 
country. The troops under Claufel left the place, and 
many of them broke up and returned to their homes. 
The reft proceeded to the Loire. 
Still the country remained in a ftate of alarm and agi¬ 
tation. The army refufed to fubmit for a conliderable 
time ; and, even when they did fo, they did it in a manner 
that left their intentions very doubtful, and confirmed 
the fa£t that they did it with the deepeft regret. Moft of 
the fortified places refufed to acknowledge the king’s au¬ 
thority; till prefled by the allied arms, and driven to the 
neceffity of either furrendering or of being taken by af- 
fault, their commanders then, and only then, hoifted the 
white flag, pretending they acknowledged the king, and 
making a merit of faying, they did not give up the place 
to a foreign enemy. This however had, in moft inftances, 
no efteft with the allies, but particularly with the Prul- 
fians : it was not the hoiftingof a flag would fatisfy them 
for their toil,'their labour, blood, and danger ; and accor¬ 
dingly, they continued the lieges of the various frontier- 
towns, till they forced them to furrender at difcretion. 
The French army which retired behind the Loire, was 
under the command of Davouft, and who alfo at this 
time held the fupreme command of all the military in 
France which had not acknowledged the king. The 
llrength of this army was ftated at about 70,000 men ; for, 
though defertion had made great ravages in it, it had 
neverthelefs been augmented by corps from different 
quarters. The officers and men compofing this force 
were decidedly averfe to the re-eftablifhment of the 
Bourbons. With arms in their hands, it could not be 
expected that fuch men would at once furrender them 
without a ftruggle ; or till they had received fome terms 
from the king, in order to enfure not only their perfonal 
fafety, but alio, if poffible, their exiftence as a body. 
Accordingly, they continued, for fome time, to difown 
the king’s authority, and refufe to fubmit to his fway. 
The advance, however, of the allied armies againft them, 
and the fubmiffion of many places and of a large portion 
of the inhabitants, left them in a dangerous lituation ; 
and, accordingly, after fome negociations, with the na¬ 
ture of which the public are yet unacquainted, they agreed 
to fend in their fubmiffion to the king, which was accor¬ 
dingly tranfmitted by Davouft, but in a manner that it 
was difficult to fay what their intentions were; and, at 
the fame time, proved unequivocally with what reluctance 
they made any conceffion or advances towards fubmiffion. 
This fubmiffion was announced in the following order of 
the day, iffued by Davouft on the 16th of July :■ “ Soldiers, 
I communicate to you, by an order of the-day, the fub¬ 
miffion which the generals and officers of the army, of 
which the command is confided to me, have made to the 
government
