The prospect was however, that no further

to possess thrilling interest: Political affairs

Der of deputies, on Monday evening, be-
tween Barrot and Dunchatel, prepared the
people for the formal prohibition Of the re-
form banquet which was to take place on
the following day. Proclamations by the
perfect Of the police, and an order of the
day by the commander of the Natio nal
Guards, were published, forbidding the ban
quet, and all assemblages of people, ard
prohibiting the appearance of National
Guards in uniform. unless ordered by their
Ichiofs. Ia consequence of these acts OF

and resolved that the banquet should not

This force, unless the soldiers. sympathise.
with the people, could crush the Parisans;
while the King and NJ. Guizot might in
dulge their animosity TO public meetings

take military occupation of all the points
of the capital on which the assembling in
the streets gradually increased, until dense
crowds filled the principal thoroughfares
leading to the legislative chambers, and
large bodies Of police and military were
called out 10 preserve order. They u.s.
sembled in great multitudes round the
Chamber of Deputies, and forced their way
over the walls, They were attacked by.
the troops and dispersed; but re-assembled
in various quarters. They showed their
hatred of Nj. Guizot by demolishing his
windows and attempting to force an en-
pulsed by the troops. All the military in
Paris, and all the National Guards, were
summoned to arms, and every preparation
made on the part of the Government TO
put down the people. The latter raised
barricades in various places, and unpaved
the streets, overturned omnibusses, ond,
made preparations for vigorous assault,
or protracted resistance. .,.. 1ts. 10
All the accounts from Paris represent the
