PlEis, April u. 1879.
Yesterday was the most critical Gay ths. the Re
public has passed through for four weeks. Ih
Provisional Government was thoroughly informe
/ Of every design Of the various parties and too
such measures sast the day which was TO hsv
/ dswned for taeif destruction set upon their ri
umph lie, Us 20 through the history Of this re
/ msfksble day from i,s manifold beginnings 20 il
general results.
! IL Is said that a. the instance Of LOUIS BLAS'
and ALERT, whose plans were not supported b.
the other members Of the Provisional Government
with the anticipated zeal. about 30 900 workmer
assembled on Mars Field with banners and re
solved 20 carry up a petition 20 the Provisional
/ Government calling for the immediate Ofgsniza
ton Of Labor by the association Of the isbore,i
with their employers. Against their demonsua
tion in itself there was nothing at all TO be said but
/ the Provisional Government had a right 20 re-
I prosch It's TWO members for having adopted
mode Of csrryn their plans into operation, direct
| ~ opposed 70 the maintenance Of unity 10 the
/ Government.
On the other side it is said that the belief was
gaining ground that the party Of reaction vas be
coming stronger and that the Elections 70 the Ma
tionaI Assembly would result for the great part IN
tho cboice Of reactionsry members. For this rea
/ son the lsborers desired formally 70 urge upon the
/ Government the duty Of taking care that the Re
public should be Democratic one. In this view
the Reorganization was in itsef wholly free from
danger 10 the Provisional Government but a Ger
tain momentum was added to the design which
might easily have changed the whole character Of
tho day.
The Government bad FOR many weeks been d.
vided within itself We can even say divided into
two parties. namely, the Citizens party and the
Democratic Republicans. This division he'd been
the cause OF many half way measures. OF dis
trust and Of the lame Advancement Of public bust
ness. The former secret societies, which have lat
terly organized as public Clubs at whose head
were BLANQUI, RAPsAEL and CADET, saw Ia this
situation Of things the opportunity OF strengthen
ing themselves and grew holder 10 their plans from
day 20 day. Either the plan on which they have act
ed was 10 overthrow iLo Citizens (Jourgeois) par
" in the Provisional Government iii their places
~ith their own mon, and postpone the elections till
the rstrogrsdo party in ths country was totally de-
stroyed: or else 70 wsit for the elections aud then
dissolve the National Assembly by violence if the
msi,1ty should not suit their views.
Without doubt this party had prepared for yes
terdny q definite plan OF attack bot when they
found that 80 great mass Of workmen was 70 be
assembled on Mars Field IL il iisey that they re-
solved 20 make use Of them 70 strike their blow
against the government la addition 10 this.
BLAsoUL' on sccouui Of the long imp-is3nmeu
he bad endured. IS well ss On account Of the re.
cent publication a. iho evidence OF his disgrace
was enrssed TO the utmost and would with joy
seize every opportunity 10 reach his enemies. At
any rate. about mid DAY tthr Of terror ran through
inc cig. Here and there the windows and shops
were closed, aud the report vas spread ihas the
Communists were about 10 commence a general
conhagrstion and pundering. On every corner
stood groups of men, some with anxious and some
with threatening aspect, while CommuDist speak.
ers actually were attempting 70 hsrangue the PEG
PIE, but we're everywhere Missed aud driven away
At that hour the Government was assembled at
the bureau Of the Finance Minister They were
informed that men from the ultra clubs were en-.
deayoring 10 excite the workmen on Mars Field
70 get the control Of the Government 70 remove
LAMARTISE snd MARRAsr, and pat BLASQUi and
CABET ia their places. Now all depended on not
losing moments time. The necessity aud the
danger ofthe crisis led LEDRU RoLLIS and his party
70 harmony and cooperation with the other mem
bers Of the Government At half past . the order
was given to beat the call for the National Guard
throughout the city. As the danger or at least the
belief in fha IN,
the city, every one was at home prepared. Itwas
not half an hour after the beating OF the call when
10000 National Guards were under arms, together
with the whole "a battaiont OF the Movable Guard.
As II they had grown up oat OF the earth at some
msgcians Incarnation. there were CO 900 men
standing in the Place de Grere before the Hotel de
V.hs, aud the quays before the Tuileries were oc
cupied by masses that could not be numbered On
the Place d. Car0usei Gen DUylvIER had drawn
up the Movable Guard aud alter he had assured
himself OF their obedience TO his commands be or
dered them 10 different parts Of the city. to which
they marched in double quick time. Pockets stood
at all the street corners to prevent the formation Of
bauicsdes aud at all the public places all passen.

Delegates OF the Provisional Government rode
through the streets and found everywhere prevail
ing among the people the strongest attachment to
the Government itself aud TO the Republic. The
gray haired Gen. CoURTAIs called upon the nova.
bic guard to irsteruize with the National Guard ;
aud thus among all the men 10 arms there was soon
bat one prevailing thought, to support the Govern
ment at whatever cost.
Meanwhile Col RAY had fortified the Hotel de
