PUBLIC OPINION IN PARIS

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING

40 to 1 agst Tamarind (taken and offered)
500 to 7i agst Wild FloweJ (taken)

In all probability London knew- as soon as Paris the
real extent and character of the work transacted in thb
Chamber yesterday, for it was not until the appearance
of the morning's papers that the Parisians received any
reliable details. The facts were not communicated to the
French press until after midnight. The city to-day is
very excited, but up to the time at which I write pe-
fectly orderly. By the vast majority of the citizens the
constitution of the government is highly approved, and
the fullest confidence is expressed in its powers and mo-
deration. Meetings are being held in every part'of the
city, at which votes of confidence are unanimouslypassed,
and promises of support made. The proposition to retain
General Palikao was not carried, and he forms no part of the
new Ministry. The fact that Rochefort is not included
in the Government is giving offence to the extreme Re-
publican party, but they are somewhat mollified by his
nomination to the National Defence Government. The
papers generally give their unqualified approval to the
new order of things ; while those which disapprove of
Republican institutions declare that the Government
needed now is the one which will take the shortest way
from defeat to victory; and believing a Republican
Ministry most capable of doing that, they accept it as
best suited to the present circumstances. The nomina-
tions to the subordinate 'poSts in the Government are
being rapidly proceeded with. M. Clement Taurier has
been appointed Director-General of the Cabinet
to the Minister of the Interior, M. Gambetta.
At present everything appears to be working
well. Upwards of twenty of the largest towns have pro-
claimed the Republic, and sent their adhesion to the new
Government. The arms of the Emperor are everywhere
being torn down, and this afternoon every emblem of the
Empire which decorated the new opera were being re-
moved. Tb.e name of 1' Rue du Dix-DrScembre has been
effaced, and in its place is inserted " Rue du 4 Septem-
bre." Processions of men and women continue to parade
the boulevards, singing Republican' airs, but the general
tranquility has not been disturbed. This morning the
whole of the Garde Nationale were ordered to hold them-
selves in readiness for immediate action, but as yet their
services have not been required.

What effect, if any, the change in the form of govern-
ment will have on the war, it is difficult to conceive. But
it is certain that no inconsiderable number of the people
are anxious that peace should in some way or other be
attempted. It is said that-as King William declared it
was not against France that he made War, but against the
Emperor, the empire having fallen, he should at once
withdraw his troops. In the meantime the most stren-
uous efforts are being made to strengthen the army. A
levee en masse is called. In all parts of the city men are
being drilled, and the ordinary business of the place has
entirely ceased. It is stated that 70,000 troops of the
line will'immediately take up a position outside the forts
on the western side of the city, to be reinforced each
day by 10,000 to 13,000 others. _ _ _

THE BRITISH PRESS.-THIS MORNING.

-
The wounded are coming so fast to Paris that they
are exhausting the ordinary means of succour, and a large
number of wooden hospitals are being erected for their
accommodation at Courcelles, about a mile within the
fortifications. •

It is estimated that there are at the present moment in
the environs of Paris, and destined for the consumption
of the citizens during the expected siege, not less than
220,000 sheep, 10,000 beasts, and 12,000 pigs. The daily
consumption of meat by the city is estimated at 4,000
sheep, and 700 beasts. Live stock is being brought hi so
fast that a difficulty will soon be felt in feeding it.
A telegram just received says that Prussian scouts have
been seen at Guignicourt, Toivre, and Fismes, in the
Department of the Aisne.

_
It is asserted that General Cardona, Commander-in-
Chief of the Italian forces guarding the territory of St.
Liege, has received orders to cross the frontier to-night
and occupy Rome.
The Bourse has been very depressed to-day, and Routes
quoted as low as 53f. 10c., but closed slightly better. The
agents of the Bourse are endeavouring to close the accounts
of their clients and cease business.
