fectly good humoured, and were cracking jokes with
the soldiers. Not a serpent de vile was anywhere to
be seen, and in all the vast crowd not a National
Guard was visible. An inunense number of troops
appeared to be on the alert. One regiment of light
dragoons came up towards the Chamber of Deputies,
from the Ecole Militaire, with their band playing as
on a fête day.
" All the shops on the Boulevards, the Rue St. Ho-
nore, and all the streets adjacent, are closed.
"Workmen were employed from an early hour this
morning in clearing away all the preparations for the
banquet At about half-past nine, a body of about
GOO municipal guards, horse and foot, arrived, and
took possession of a piece of ground adjoining the
place of the intended assemblage, which was a large
inclosed field, between the Rue de Chaillot and the
Barrire de Longchamps, where a marquee had been
erected. But few people had collected in that quar-
ter or in the Champs Elys6es."
In the Chamber of Deputies the President raised
the sitting without giving M. ODILLON 8./OLEO'r any
opportunity of speaking on the proposition for the
impeachment of the Ministers, but announced that it
should be submitted to the Bureaux on Thursday.
The lamps in the Champs Elysees are all broken,
and barricades are formed in the Rue Richelieu, the
Rue de la Pain, the Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, and
the Rue de Joinville. The gates of the Tuileries are
closed, and the gardens and Palace occupied by
troops. Marshal BUGEAUD has, it is said, accepted
the military command of Paris. M. GUIZOT was
present at the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday. Various collisions have taken place be-
tween the people and the municipal guard, and many
have been killed and wounded.

At five o'clock the rappel for calling out the Na-
tional Guard was beat throughout Paris. The drum-
mers were saluted with cries of " Five la Refornze,"
and with the Marseillaise and the Girondin chorus,
" Mourir pour la patrie." Several sections of armed
National Guards had assembled at the hour the post
left. As yet the utmost good humour has been exhi-
bited both by the troops and the people, the latter of whom
are in general unarmed; but fears are entertained
that as night approaches, some collision of a serious
nature may occur, more especially in the Faubourgs,
where the the people are many of them armed, and
where barricades have been formed. Ammunition-
waggons and artillery were continually arriving from
Vincennes.

RUMOURED DEPOSITION OF THE POPE.

Important intelligence has arrived from Italy. The
French Government have, it is said, received a tele-

colours have been discarded, and the tricolour of Italy
adopted.
