courtcd collision with the people me Opposition
deputies disappointed them. They. in consequence
of the ministerial prohibition. abandoned the intsn
tion of holding banquet, aud exhorted the people
81 submission.
IL had been confidently stated by us that 10 oh.
staclcs would be placed by Government in the
wsy Of the Reform Banquet. Such had been their
intention until the publication OF the manifesto Of the
committee. The determination OF Government not to
allow the banquet was made known in the chamber
on Monday evening. The debate, which was on
the Bordeaux Bank Bill. had attracted bat few
members. when suddenly, at little before five
oclock, the doors OF the Chamber were thrown open
and $50 deputies rushed 10 their places
la five minutes the Chamber empty before, was
filed in every part 1t appeared that at meeting
OF the deputies aud electors who were 10 take part
in the manifestation of Tuesday, report had been
suddenly aud most Unexpectedly circulated that
Government had, at the eleventh hour resolved 10
adopt measures Of severe c0ercioni and NJ Odllon
Barrot wishog to clear this up, put the question TO
ministers
NJ Duchnte stated, in the most explicit and IN
eGuivoca terms that after the formal declaration
aud programme which had been published IN the
morning in the Opposition Journelsthe Government
had decided 10 resort TO measures OF force to pre-
vent the proceedings as announced from TAXING
place.
Immeda tey after the Chamber adjourned, a meet
ing of the deputies took place at the house oil NJ
Odilon Barrot and resolution was taken which
was afterward made public, that the Opposition,
not wishing to take directly or indirectly the re-
sponsibility for the consequences which may result
from the new measures adopted by the Govern
ment had resolved not to attend the proposed ban.
ouet proclamation to this effect was published
by the committee Monday night aud one from
the Project of Police orbiddlng the meetngo on the
grounds assigned in the Chamber by Nj. Duchatel
appeared at the same time.
The public excitement on Tuesday morning did
not show itself by any violent demonstration but
at an early hour considerable numbers chiefly OF
the working classes and respectable shopSeepers,
were to be seen moving along the BouleVards and
all the avenues leading TO the Champs Elysees aud
at noon the vast area between the Chamoer Oh
Deputies and the church of the Madeleine was
thrope ed with dense multitude, which at one time
could not have amounted TO less than 3O,OOO per-
sons.
A little before 10 O'Clock a procession of laboring
persons consisting Of several hundreds, sttired
chiefly in bOuses. arrived by the Rue ST. Honore,
and the Rue Duphot, at the Place de la Madeleine
and halted at the hotel where the meetings OF the
Opposition deputies have been usually held. IN
til this moment no display of military force took
place at this point. Soon afterward, however, q
regiment OF infantry, accompanied by civil ma
gistrate wearing the tri color sash, arrived on the
SCOT and drew up in front of the hotel. The usual
summons to dispense being read the persons iornl-
lug the procession submitted without any resist
ance aud marched away.
Soon after several squadrons OF the municipal
cavalry arrived, and the populace was desired 70
disperse This order being dlsregarded, the charge
was sounded, aud the Dragons rushed ON the peo,
pie. first effort was made to dispense the CROWD
bv the mere force OF the horses without the use OF
arms. and the dragons did not draw. This, how
ever. proving Intellectual, several charges with
drawn swOrds were made, the Hat OF the sword
onlv being used. BY these means the multitude
was at length dispersed, without any loss Oh HE or
injury that we could hear of At one o'clock,
the main thorouehfares were clear. During
the remainder of the day. the principal streets
were patroied by the cavalry OF the municipal
guard the infantry of the line keeping clear the
fOotxays.
Each company of infantry carried. beside their
usual arms collection OF implements Tor cutting
down barbados such as hatchets, picksxes, AIDES
&c. These were tied upon the hnaPshck' eacn
soldier carrying one. 49,,
. AT the meeting of the Chambers at one O'Clock
the greatest gloom prevailed. Few Deputies were
ia attendance; and the benches OF the Opposition
were completely vacant. M Gulzot arrived a, az
esrlv hour and was shortly afterward followed oy
,ba Ministers of Finance, Public instruction, and
Commerce. Marshal Bugeaud who had accepted
the military command of Paris took his seat close
to the Ministerial Bench. 80 -
