The procession resumed its way in the midst of the clashing of sabres, and the cries of men trampled under the horses' hoofs.

La Fayette, who feared attempts and surprises in the streets of Paris, desired general Damas, the commandant of the escort, not to traverse the city.

He placed troops in deep line on the boulevard from the barrier De l'Etoile to the Tuileries.

The national guard bordered this line.

The Swiss guards were also drawn up, but their flags no longer lowered before their master.
