dressed some questions to the Minister of the
Interior, with respect to the recent events in
Paris.
NJ. Guizot who had shortly before enter
ed the chamber, Immediately rose and said
IL have nothing to say at the present mo-
meat to this questions of the honorable MEM
Der. The king has sent for Count Mole,
who IS empowered to form ministry. p
Loud cries of bravo, and cheers followed
this announcement, which appeared to an
ney NJ. Guizot, He then cotinued: "We are
not to be prevented by such manifestations
as those l now hear, as long as we remain
in office, which will be till our successors are
appointed, fiom doing our duty. We shall
consider ourselves answerable for all that
may happen. We shall act in every thing
we do according to our best judgment and
our consciences, and according to what we
consider the interest of our country"
After some interruptions created by this
announcement, NJ. Odillon Barrot rose
and said-''ln consequence of the situation
Of the Cabinet, demand the adjournment
Of the proposition which made yesterday,
(the impeachment) loud cries Of Eyes,
yes" and mo no,'1 / will submit to the
Chamber on the point"
M. Dupon then rose and said-"The
first thing necessary for the capital is peace.
It must be relieved from anarchy. Every
one knows that the spirit Of July exists yet
Homage has been done TO the rest of the
nation. But the people must know that
its deliberations must not be on the public
way. The assemblages mus: cease. do
not see how the ministry, who are provis-
ionally charged with the public affairs. can
occupy themselves at the same time with
the care Of their own safety. demand the
adjournment of the proposition presented
yesterday"
NJ. GUizoT -"As long as the cabinet
shall be entrusted with public affairs, it
will make the law be respected. The cabi.
net sees no reason why the chamber should
suspend its labors. The crown at the pres
ent moment is using its prerogative. That
prerogalive must be respected. AS long
as the cabinet is upon these benches, no bu-
sness need remain suspended"
The President then put the question as
to the adjournment of NJ. Odillon Barrot's
proposition. About one hundred members
Of tho Opposition supported the adjourn
ment: the whole Of the Conservative were
against it."
TheChamber Immediately arose in great
agitation.
Five o'clock.
The public joy increases a,.,ho resigna.
tion Of the ministry. At this moment
detachment Of the National Guards, fol.
lowed by large crowd, is passing the
Bourse, shouting, "Vive la Reforme!''
Half past Five O'Clock.
As the resignation Of the ministry be-
comes more and more widely known, the
public JOY becomes greater. 1t seems as
if no ministry were ever so intensely or so
universally detes.ed. The shops still con-
tinue to be closed. The movements Of
troops are also continuing. The firing has
ceased in the quarter Of St. Martin. but
great crowds still fill the streets, and the
soldiers have great difficulty in minimizing
order.
LONDON, Saturday evening, Feb. 2e.-
We subjoin from the French papers the
following details:
At half past it was hoped that the
worst was over. About half past 7 the
Boulevard being crowded, there arrived d
column Of the combatants, many OF them
armed with muskets, and singing the Mar
seilaise and the chorus of the Girondins,
which have So often mentioned. They
were received with uproarions fluctuations
by the people, and proceeded to the Office OF
the National, which seems TO be the organ
Of this formidable opposition. They de-
manded that the editors see that their lib
critics were not "again" played with. M.
Marrast, editor Of the National, harrangu-
ed them from the balcony, and assured
them that their liberties would this time be
secured. This scene was this time repea:.
ed six times during the night
AT 10 o'clock n column Of 600 or 800
people of all ranks, who had been fighting,
passed up The Boulevard. Among them
were evidently many Of the communists.
The bearing and attitude of this column
was terrible. The subsequent act Of one
Of the party justified the apprehension
which their appearance suggested.
Although NJ. Guizot had retired from
the ministry, the Hotel des Affaires E.
trangeres remained occupied and guarded
by troops. About 10 o'clock young mar
walked up 10 the officer in command, anc
blew his brains out with a pistol. Seeing
him fall, his soldiers without orders fired OF
the people, of whom four or five were killed
The report Of the discharge. at NO
ment when we flattered ourselves that al
was tolerab!y we'll over, created painful
sensation. Twenty minutes afterwards
however, most touching and melancholy
procession arrived, and as far as l coult
perceive, turned alarm into rage.
i The buzz Of an approaching multitude
coming from the Boulevard des Capucine
was heard, and low song of death Mou
rir. pour 10 patria,' was chanted by tn
: throng, instead of,he victorious Marseilles
Mingled with this awful and imposing cho
rus, the noise Of the wheels could be heard
large body Of the people slowly advanc
ed. Four in front carried torches. Be
hind them came fan open cart SUI
rounded by torch bearers. The ligf
was strong, and discovered four or fiv
deae bodies, partly undressed, which ar
peared TO have been carefully ranged in
cart.
