At nine o'clock General Beruyer hastened to form his division in battle array in the Place Vendome, marched with two eight-pounders to the Rue des Vieux-Augustins, and pointed them in the direction of the Section Le Pelletier.

General Vachet, with a corps of 'tirailleurs', marched on his right, ready to advance to the Place Victoire.

General Brune marched to the Perron, and planted two howitzers at the upper end of the Rue Vivienne.

General Duvigier, with his column of six hundred men, and two twelve-pounders, advanced to the streets of St.Roch and Montmartre.
The Sections lost courage with the apprehension of seeing their retreat cut off, and evacuated the post at the sight of our soldiers, forgetting the honour of the French name which they had to support.

The Section of Brutus still caused some uneasiness.
