A corresponchnt of the Edo writes :

" Vive Is Republique "is the cry now echoing through the
length and breath of Paris. The Emperor and his dynasty
are swept sway. Parts has risen as one man. The terrible
defeats ii the past few days have precluded all hopes of
peace. War to the knife is the feeling of man, woman, and
child. 'While I write, the stieets are crammed with people.
All circulation fs stopped National Guards and Mobiles
are marching In all dtrections, followed by thousands of
persons with flogs and banners. The noise and excitement
are beyond conception. Patriotic songs and cries
issue from a million mouths. Tne windows of every house
are full of womeu and children looking on the scenes below.
Such a sight has never been seen In Pals. I have just made
a short tour. The Boulevards are one mass of human
beings. All the shops are closed, and the cage have got
evert thing ready to shut In a moment, for there is no telling
what may take place. All the ECM of Parts has collie to the
mil-face. I met the 2Seil Itegitnent of the line. They wire
syphon-led vociferoutly, and greeted with • Eire Is I:40-
lique ! I observed the soldiers did not say anything, but
appeared delighted, and turned their guns upside down
fa a sign they would not Are on the people. Some of
them stuck their caps on the top of their rifles;
others were decorated with dowers. Down the Rue

Concorde and all rotted the Corps Ughlatif the same mov-
ing, surging, eltouthig masses of bedigs. All attempts to
disperee them were evidently useless I remarked there
were few or no policemen—a very wise precaution on
the part of the authorities, tor the police are to such had

turbance which would end in bloodshed. A few heaqs,
however, may be brokeu before the day is over. luau-
nately, the proc:atuatiou of the Republic has satisfied even
the roughs. Up the Rue de Rivolt the same excited crowds.
The gardenia of the Tuileries were closed, and sarong guard

imagine. It is only just to lay that all hohest people here
