At twelve o'clock the 2d Legion of the National Guard was at the Tuileries to make a demonstration for reform. Its colonel, M. Bagnieres, declared to the Duke of Nemours that he could not answer for his men. At one o'clock, accompanied by an immense multitude, with whom they fraternized, they were again on the Rue Lepelletier. A squadron of cuirassiers and one of chasseurs advanced to dislodge them. "Who are these men?" cried the chef d'escadron. "The people of Paris!" replied the officer of the National Guard. "And who are you?" "An officer of the 2d Legion of the National Guard." "The people must disperse!" "They will not!" "I will compel them!" "The National Guard will defend them!" "Vive la Reforme!" shouted the people. The National Guard and the cuirassiers united. The officer, chagrined, turned back to his men and vociferated in tones of thunder: "Wheel! Forward!" And the whole body resumed its march down the Boulevard. An hour afterwards a still larger body of troops, Municipal Guards mounted and on foot, cuirassiers and infantry of the Line, came down the Boulevard and made a half movement on the Rue Lepelletier, but, seeing the hostile attitude of the National Guard, continued their march amid shouts of "Vive la Reforme!" "Vive la Garde Nationale!" "Vive la Ligne!" Twice, within an hour afterwards, the same thing occurred. It was plain that the National Guard fraternized with the people. The 3d Legion deputed their colonel, M. Besson, to demand of the King reform and a change of Ministry. The colonel presented the memorial to General Jaqueminot, who promised to place it in the Royal hands. The 4th Legion marched to the Chamber of Deputies and presented a petition for reform. Col. Lemercier, of the 10th, arrested a man for shouting "Vive la Reforme!" The man was liberated by his own troops, with shouts of "Vive la Reforme!" The colonel withdrew. The cavalry legion, the 13th, in like manner repudiated Col. Montalivet. The Municipal Guard was ordered to disarm the 3d Legion. Both advanced--bayonets were crossed--blood was about to flow. At that moment Col. Textorix, of the National Guard, rushed up and exclaimed: "Brothers, will you slay brothers?" The effect was electrical. The muskets were instantly shouldered and the combatants separated. All over Paris the same scenes took place, with a few exceptions. "Vive la Republique!" cried Ledru Rollin to Albert, who was hurrying down the Rue Lepelletier, at about noon. "Vive la Republique!" was the hearty response. "What of the National Guard?" "The Guard fraternizes with the people," replied Ledru Rollin. "What of the blouses and the barricades?"
