twelve o'clock
`` Vive la Garde Nationale ! '' `` Long live the real defenders of the country ! '' -- these were the shouts , intermingled with the choruses of national songs , that now rose from the people and the National Guard . At twelve o'clock the 2d Legion of the National Guard was at the Tuileries to make a demonstration for reform . Its colonel , M. Bagnières , 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 .
