The election of the officers of the National Guard
of Paris is fixed for the 18th instant. The old
officers, who were all elected under the Monarchy,
will be everywhere opposed by Republican candi-
dates.

The following decree on this subject appears in the
afonueur:--

"FRENCH REPUBLIC.
"LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY.

" Citizens,—The elections of the National Guard are
fixed for the 18th inst. All citizens from 20 to 58 years
are part of the National Guard; all the National Guards
are electors, and ought to take part in the elections.
Since the day was fixed a great number of citizens have
inscribed themselves. The greater number of the legions
have doubled or trebled the numbers of which they con-
sisted previous to the 24th of February. But it is
necessary that all citizens should understand that their
right to elect is also a duty on their part. Let all, then,
hasten to inscribe themselves. The wish of the Provi-
sional Government is that all possible facility should be
given, in order that the whole of the people should take
part in this Republican manifestation. As the lists
must be closed on the 13th at midnight, every citizen
not inscribed has the right to claim his inscription at the
Maine during the 14th, 15th, and 16th. On the 16th
the supplementary list will be closed definitively.
" The bureaux of each Mairie will be open from seven
o'clock till midnight."
(Signed by the Members of the Provisional
Government.)
