clamations were issued :
PROCLAM ATION OF THE EXECUTIVE TO
TIIE WOUKNIEN OF PARIS.

" Citizens,—ln the midst of the criminal sedition with
which some misled workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux
afflict the capital, the Government, obliged to employ
force, feels the necessity of convincing and enlightening
the population. Workmen of Paris ! the factions, who
pay the meneurs, seek to persuade you that you are
comprised in the measures tending to remove from
Paris the workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux, whose
numbers and disorders weigh at present on Paris, and
on the whole Republic. Workmen of Paris, these are
odious calumnies ! It is for the interest of
you all, it is to cause the resumption of your labours,
it is that free workshops may be re-opened to you, that
the Republic has resolved energetically to re•esstablish
the regular order of labour, and to free Paris
from the coalition of pretended workmen, strangers
for the most part to the capital. Such of these
workmen as have their familes at Paris will not
be dismissed until after they shall have found work in
private establishments, or they will recieve assistance
which will give them the time to I,Jrovide for the necessi-
ties of their situation. Those who are strangers to
Paris calumniate the Government in accufing it of
severity to them. The nation has not ceased to occupy
itself with their wants, and this very day, at the moment
at which an insurrection breaks out in their name, and
throws workmen into consternation by alarming credit
and trade, they are not dismis*:el without assistance on
the road, and at prescribed points of the departments,
where useful works and wages are assured them without
interruption. Thoughts of the workmen have not
ceased to occupy the National Assembly for a single
day. Workmen of Paris, become calm; let the wise
and necessary measures of the Government for the
restoration of labour be accomplished in order and
peace. Do not mix yourselves up with the factions paid
by the enemies of the Republic to agitate the capital,
and propagate the conspiracy of lassitude and dis-
couragement. The Republic will triumph over them,
as over all the others, and serious and honest workmen
will gather the first fruits of the victory. Viva la R -
publique I"
PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR OF PARIS,
TO THE MAYORS OF THE ARRONDISSE-
MENTS.

" Paris, 23d June, Three o'clock.

" Citizen Mayors,—You have been witnesses since the
morning of the efforts made by a small number of turbu-
lent men to cause the greatest alarm among the popula-
tion. The enemies of the Republic take all masks, and
turn to account all the misfortunes and difficulties pro-
duced by events. Foreign agents join them, excite
and pay them. It is not only cival war which they
would light up among us, bnt it is pillage, social disor-
ganization, the ruin of France which they prepare—
and we can divine with what object. Paris is the principal
seat of these infamous intrigues, but Paris will not be-
coma the capital of disorder. Let the National Guards,
who are the first guardians of public peace and property,
well understand that it is especially themselves, their in-
terests, their credit, and their honour, which are con-
cerned. If they abandon themselves they would give
the country up to all chances, they would leave families
and property exposed to the most frightful calamities.
The troops of the garrison are under arms—numerous
and perfectly disposed. Let the National Guards place
themselves in their quarters, in the streets—the autho-
rities will do their duty—let the National Guards do
theirs. Salutation and fraternity."
General PERROT has been appointed commander-
in-chief of the National Guards of Paris, in place of M;
CLEMENT THOMAS, and General CAVAIGNAC has been
invested with the command of the National forces in
Paris.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
The National Assembly has throughout nobly done
its duty. It has been sitting en permanence, or with
very short intervals of adjournment since the com-
mencement of the insurrection, and reports made to it
almost hourly give perhaps the best history of the in-
surrection that can be obtained.

On Friday the Assembly met at half-past one.
Nothing could exceed the demonstration of force on
the Place de In Concorde and around the Chamber.
Dragoons, troops of the line, detachments of the Garde
Mobile, the mounted National Guard, and two regiments
of the line were drawn up as if for battle. But what vas
still more imposing was the appearance of fifteen pieces
of cannon in front of the bridge. Down the quay, and
in the adjoining streets, the force was enormous. No
person was allowed to cross the Place, on any pretence
whatever, unless with a card.

Inside, great agitation prevailed, and the representa-
tives were in constant movement. In general, as fast as
they arrived, au intimation was given them to proceed
to the President's hotel, where it would appear that
grave deliberations were going on respecting the events
passing in the capital.
M. Portalis took the chair in the absence of the Pre-
sident.

At a quarter past twelve some of the Ministers were
in their place, but the members of the Executive Com-
mittee were all absent.

The Minister of Commerce presented a bill demand-
ing a credit to pay for the scarfs and flags commanded
three mouths back at Lyons.
General Lebreton had to propose that, looking at the
grave events which were passing in the capital, it would
be well if a certain number of members were nomi-
nated by the Assembly or by the President in its
name, to proceed amongst the troops—(Hear, hear)
—not to interfere with the military cominander.s
in their arrangements, for that he knew ought always
to be avoided, and nu one had greater confidence in
the ability and determination of General Cavnianac
than he had—but to aff,rd them the authority of their
mural influence.—(Hear, hear, agitation, cries of" No,
no.") That besides would enable the gentlemen so ap-
pointad to satisfy the natural impatience of the As-
sembly to learn whet was going on, by informing the
President at once if any important event should take
place.—(Agitation).
General Leydet must oppose the proposition just
made. The representatives ought to do nothing but
what it was their emission to do.—(Yes, yes, no, no.)
General Cavaignac had the evening before taken every
necessary measure of defence.
Voices—The order of the day—the order of the day.
M. Beaune—Where, when these grave events are
passing, are the members of the Exeeutive Committee ?
—(Great uproar, cries of "Ay, that's the question.")
He thought they ought to be present to—
Great agitation
.arose here—some Members crying
out for the " Order of the day," others " Go on, go on."
The Hon. Representative continued for some time gesti-
culating, but without succeedif'er in making himself
heard. After a while, the uproar having ceased a little,
The President said—Does the Assembly wish to pass
to the order of the day?

Cries of "Yes, Yea," " No, no!" the former

nating.

should be proceeded to.
M. Anglade presented a proposition demanding a
credit for the purpose of establishing cantonal physi-
cians throughout the territory.
M. Daren presented a proposition to render corn
pletely gratuitous the admission and education of (eloves
in the naval schools.
Both are to be developed hereafter.
M. Senard, the President, ascended the tribune with
a letter in his hand, and said, I am the bearer of seas•
factory intelligence, which has arrived from every part
of the eapital.—(Movement.' The two barricades
which were raised at the corners of the Rue
rainche-Mibray were taken by the Republican guard
in conjunction with the National Guard. Other
barricades were tuken on other points, by the troops
and the National Guards united. In addition I have just
received a report from the commissary charged with the
special guard of the National Asaembly which states
that the barricades on the quays and boulevards have
been taken without much difficulty by the troops and
National Guards, and demoEshed. The troops had fired

rioters, I am happy to say, said the Hon. Representa-
tive in conclusion, have met with but little countenance
from the mass of the population.—(Renewed applause.)
Considerable agitation followed the announcement.
M. Bineau said that the day before the Minister of
Public \Vorcks had demanded a credit for a railway,
but the confusion was at the time so great that no one
could hear what was said. It now appeared that what
had been asked for was a credit of six millions, to com-
plete the part of the line between Chalons-sur-Saone
and Lyons. He found that the Minister had no right to
act thus whilst the Lyons company was still in exist •
once. He thought it
very improper for the Minister thus
to prejudge the railway question now pending.
The Minister of Public Works declared that he had
done so only in consequence of negotiations for an
amicable arrangement which was at present pending be-
t een him and the company If the railways were not
taken by the State,
the company could make an allow-
ance to the State for the money expended.
M. Laforet said that it was he who, as Mayor of
Lyons, had pressed the Honourable Minister to act as
he had done. There were ten thousand workmen at
Lyons expecting the dissolution of the national work-
shops, and it was necessary' to find work for them.
M. Duclerc, the Minister of Finance, said to satify all
parties, the Bill should be postponed until after the rail-
, way measure had been decided.
M. Floccon wished to say a few words in conse-
quence of what had a little before been said by an
Honourable Representative in the tribune. Wonder
was expressed that the Executsre Committee were not at
their post. They were in the building, where they had
taken up their position, deeming it better to have all the
power centralised, the real centre of action being the
National Assembly. All the troubles and agitation
which wereoccurring that day, no matter under what name
they were encouraged, whether in the name of pre_
tenders, or in the name of workmen led astray by others,
all came from one point, from the enemies of the Re-
public—from gold scattered freely by the hand of fe-
reigners.—(Agitation, and cries of " Yes, yes.") He
addressed all true Republicans, and asked, did they '.up
pose that the great example of a throne being overturned
and of the nation governing itself could be seen without
disturbance? No, that was impossible. But what he
wanted especially to direct attention to was the fact that
all these attempts were intended to overturn the Re-
public, and were aided by foreign gold. But such efforts
would be found useless, as the Republic was sure to sub-
sist,—(" Yes, yes;" " Vive la lOpublique.")
