On Sunday the 10Th, Paris was the scene of
an extraordinary commotion. The people en-
gagged by the Provisional Government, upon
the publication Of some papers found in the
house of Guizot, impeachiOg the political
character Of the ex-minister, pronounced them
to be forgeries; and therefore denounced Lam
altinc, and the more moderate members of the
Government-swearing to overturn it, and to
establish in its stead one from which all the
present members were to be excluded, save
the more violent among them. Ledru Rollin,
having great influence with the Communists
succeeded in drawing an immense concourse
to the Champ de Mars, whom he harangued in
the most imhammatory manner.
The majority Of the Government called on
the National Guards, the Guard Mobile, and
two regiments of the Tine. Cannon were plant
ed near the Hotel de Vile, and quiet was res
tored without bloodsh ed, though for a consid-
cradle interval a revival of the old reign of
terror was apprehended. The moderate mem
bers Of the Government avoided the error of
the Girondists in 1913 by a prompt resort to for

baby less sanguinary than the old Terro-
~rists, their opponents are firmer, more ener-
getic and stronger than the Girondists. Mat
tiers in Paris have reached a point at which
the fate of a nation may be said to rest upon
the conduct of a single great man. There is
every confidence in Lamartine. lie is believ-
ed to be equal to the crisis.

acter. The troops marched through and through
the Boulevards, with their colors flying and
