who destroyed every thing in it—N\ inflows, furniture,
pictures, &e. The thcone alune was left cutire,
carried in procession through the streets and the
Boulevards, and ultimately smashed to pieces. A
similar scene of destruction took place at the Palais
Royale. All the furniture was taken out and burnt
in
the court.
In the Faubourg St. Honore, opposite the Champs
Elysees, a party of the people proceeded to the guard-
house of the Municipal Guards. An officer passed
them and reached the guard-house. He addressed
the little garrison, told them all was over, and by no
means to resist the people. Unfortunately they dis-
obeyed his injunction. Their arms were demanded.
They replied by a volley. Their guard-house was
stormed, and every man of them was butchered.
More than one young fellow was seen bearing on sticks
sohakos of the slaughtered soldiers covered with blood
and dirt.
An extraordinary occurrence took place in the
Boulevard des Italiens about the same moment.
Several regiments of infantry of the line, preceded
by National Guards—a regiment of Cuirassiers, three
field pieces, and three caissons of ammunition ap-
peared. They were stopped by the people, who, with
the most perfect coolness seized the horses by the
heads, broke open the caissons, and distributed the
ammunition without any resistance among the insur-
gents.
Proceeding to the Hotel of M. Guizor (which
bad been quitted by the Minister some hours before),
the people perceived large pools of blood on the
asphalte pavement of the Boulevards des Capucines
and the Rue Bosse du Rempart. This excited their
indignation. They vented their fury on the balus-
trades of the Rue Bosse de Rempart opposite M.
GUIZOT'S, and threatened to destroy the street on
account of the blood spilt there. The hotel was
turned into an ambulance for the wounded, and the
people, dipping their fingers in the blood, wrote
along the walls " A mort Guizot." Thcre are bar-
ricades all along the Boulevards, mostly unfinished,
as the battle was over in an hour and a half.
After the abdication of the KING, the Royal
Pamily left the Tuileries in private carriages.
Passing through the Place de la Concorde towards
Neuilly, the Duchess of ORLEANS went with her son
to the Chambers, dressed in deep mourning, to place
herself and her son under the protection of the
Deputies.
The following is the account of the proceedings in
the Chambers :
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

" At one o'clock M. Sauzet took the chair, in pre-
sence of about 300 Members. Shortly afterwards it
was stated that the Duchess of Orleans had arrived
at the Palace, with her two sons. The
Princess scon appeared at the left door, accompanied
by the two Princes and the Dukes de Nemours and
Montpensier. The young Count de Paris entered
first, led by one of the _Members of the House. He
penetrated with difficulty as far as the semi-circle,
which was crowded with officers and soldiers of the
National Guard. His presence produced a lively
impression on the assembly. Almost immediately
afterwards the Duchess entered, and seated herself
in the arm chair between her two sons.
"The hall was then forcibly entered by a multitude
of armed men of the lower orders and National
Guards. The Princess and her children then retired
to one of the upper benches of the centre, opposite
the Presidential chair.
"The greatest agitation and uproar prevailed, and
when silence was restored M. Dupin rose and an-
nounced to the assembly that the King had abdicated
in favour of his grandson, and conferred the regency
on the Duchess of Orleans.
" A voice from the public gallery—' It is too
late.'
"An indescribable scene of tumult ensued. A
number of Deputies collected round the Duchess and
her children, and the Dukes of Nemours and Mont-
pensier. National Guards also rallied round the
Royal
"M. Marie then ascended the tribune without
being able to speak, his voice being drowned
by deafening cries. When silence was re
stored M. Marie said that in the critical
situation in which the capital was placed,
it was urgently necessary to adopt some
measures calculated to calm the population. Since
morning the evil had made immense progress.
Shall we proclaim the Duke de Nemours or the
Duchess of Orleans regent ? M. Cremieux, who
followed, was of opinion to uphold the new Govern-
ment. M. Genoude thought that an appeal ought to
be addressed to the people. M. Odillon Barrot next
= ascended the tribune, and advocated the rights of
the Duchesse d'Orleans. M. Larochejaquelin sup-
ported the appeal to the people. M. Lamartine and
and M. Ledru Rollin insisted on the necessity of
appointing a Provisional Government. M. Sauzet
here put on his hat, and concluded the sitting. The
Princes retired, followed by all the members of the
Centre, those of the Left alone remaining in
the hall. The insurgents then called, or rather
carried M. Dupont de l'Eure to the Presidential
chair. The tribune and all the seats were occupied
by the people and National Guards, and the names of
the following Members of the Provisional Govern-
ment were proclaimed amidst a scene which has not
been witnessed since the Convention :
" Garnier Pages,
" Arago,
" Marie,
" Ledru Rollin,
" Lamartine,
" Crernieux."
" This list was received with cries of Vive la
Eipublique,' and the Assembly then adjourned to the
Motel de Villa to instal the Provisional Government."
The people still remain under arms, and are de-
termined not to lay down their arms until their liber-
ties shall have been secured. The tri-colour flag
has been hauled down from the Tuileries, and the red
flag substituted in its place.
The last accounts of LOUIS PHILIPPE state
that he had proceeded with his family to the
Chateau d'Eu. The rumours of his arrival is
England, which were currently circulated in the
City yesterday, and which were confidently believed
het night, turn out to have been premature,—we say
premature, because we believe that it is exceedingly
probable that he will seek refuge in this country. None
of the papers give any information at to the fate of
M. GUIZOT, or that of any of his colleagues.
The Provisional Government installed at the Hotel
de Ville have proclaimed a Republic. The following
le a list of the new Ministry appointed by the Provi-
sional Government :
President M. DUPONT DE L'EURE.
Interior ...... M. LEDRU Rower.

M. Gaitsues PAGES has been appointed Mayor of
Paris, and General DECOURTRIAS Commandant of the
National Guard. General CATAIGNAC goes as Go-
vernor to Algiers.
In consequence of the destruction of the railway
stations all transit by this means is become impos-
sible. The running of the diligences has also been
Suspended. Tranquillity prevailed in Paris when the
last accounts left.

Tire rumour of the abdication of the King of
the French reached the House of Commons shortly
after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and of course
it produced a good deal of excitement in the House.
For some time after the rumour became known,
knots of Members clustered at the bar, standing
round Mr. Stuart Wortley, who appeared to
be retailing the intelligence from one of the
daily papers. Immediately that the curiosity of the
41°n• Members assembled at the bar had been gratified,
the portion of the paper containing the interesting
piece of telegraphic news was torn out, and then
handed up to the Speaker. At this moment Sir R.
?eel entered the House, and on taking his usual seat
opposite the table, the slip was passed to him.
1115 Right Honourable Baronet, thinking no
doubt, that it was an ordinary communica-
tion, allowed some minutes to elapse before he
looked at it, but no sooner had he glanced over it
,than he hurried across the floor to the Treasury
benches, where Lord John Russell and Lord Pal-
berston had just taken their seats, and handed the
document to these two Noble Lords, who eagerly
devoured its contents. Tho Right llonourable
Baronet held a short but evidently animated conver-
sation with the two Noble Lords, and then returned
tc. the Opposition benches. The stir and excitement
which the news had created amongst Hon. Members
did not subside till Lord Palinerston had answered
the question of Mr. Hine,ley, and the House had
entered upon the consideration of Mr. Ilume's
motion.
