i FRANCE. :.
i The Presse says: Five ,i'nes during
the day February 26) NJ. de Lamar
fine addressed the people assembled
under the windows o. the Ho,el de
Vile
/ at is thus that you are led from ca
Iumny to calumny against tie men
who have devoted themselves, head,
heart, and breast, 10 give you real
republic republic of all rights, in
all interests, and all The legitimate
rights Of the people. Yesterday you
asked us to usurp, in the name of the!
people of Paris, the rights Of 50, OOO,-
900 of men; to vote them an absolute
republic, instead of republic invested
with the strength Of their consen'; iha,
is to say, to make of that republic, i'm
posed and no. consented, the will of a
part of the people, instead of The will
of she whole nation. To day you de-
mand from us the red flag instead Of
: the ,ri-coor one. Citizens! for my
part, will never adopt the red flag;
and will explain i'll word why | will
oppose it with all the strength of my
patriotism. 1t is, citizens, because
the tri-color flag has made the tour of
the world, under the republic aud the
empire, with our liberties and our glo-
, ries, and that the red flag has only
made the tour of the Champ de Mars,
trai'ed through torrents Of the blood of
the people,"
At this part ofthe speech of NJ. de
Lama,,lne, in that astonishing sitting
of sixty hours, in the midst of an irri;a-
ted crowd, every one was suddenly
, affected by his words; hands We're
} clapped, and tears shed, and they fin
, ished by embracing him, shaking his
hands, and bearing him IN Triumph
In moment after, fresh masses of peo-
/ pie arrived, aimed with sabres and
: bayonets. They knocked at the doors;
they filled the sales. The cry was,
, that all was los:; that the people were
about TO fire on or st,fle the members
of the provisie nal government. NJ. de
| Lamar,ine was called for. He was
suppllca,ed to go once more, for the
las, time, to address the people. He
was raised on step of the staircase;
t the crowd remained for half an hour
without conserving to lis'en TO him,
vocifera,ing, brandishing arms of all
; kinds over his head. M. de Lamar
e tine folded his arms, recommended his
address, and finished by soflenlny, APP
e peasing, and caressing the intelligent
S and sensible people, and determining
them either to withdraw, or to become
the safeguard of the provisional gov
eminent.
