PARIS. 1813. CHER. "DONATION FROM THE MUNICIPAL CORPS OF PARIS." WHICH OFFERS 500 MEN OF CAVALRY. "Sire, your good city of PARIS will hasten to answer the call which has just been made to all the Empire. Its youth will fly under your flags and run to new triumphs... The enemy counts on losses that the inclemency of the seasons alone has caused (The Russian Campaign); these losses will be repaired by your faithful subjects. Your good city of Paris, jealous to show itself first, begs you to accept the offer of a Regiment of 500 men of Cavalry, and the assurance that no sacrifice will cost to sustain THE NATIONAL HONOR..." - Printed in BOURGES (18), by Augustin Manceron, printer for the prefecture of CHER, 1813.
