church was immense the whole after noon in a short lime the fine gilded cross with the fleurdelis at its angles which crowns the steeple raised a general cry of rage the national guard joined the peo

issued an ordinance to change the stale seal at ihe same time his majesty has given orders to remove the fleursdelis where it can be done without defacing the public monuments and without renewing the
