all the streples Of Paris, and the drums bea-

which FIVE hundred lives were lost, sacked
it completely, burning the furniture IN the
court. When this news reached the King,
he left the TuAeries for Eu, protected by a
strong escort, and the Duchess OF OTleansc
with the heir apparent TO the throne, repaired
10 the Chamber Of Deputies. No sooner had
they lrft the palace, than the insurgents oc-
cupiet il, and commenced ihtir work of des-
truction. The furniture and pictures were
DESTROYED, the vine in the cellars drank, and
nothing left entire but the throne-a gilt arm
chair, with crimson velvet cushions, and Ir

Meanwhile, the Duchess Of Orteape, the
most loved and popular woman In France,
repaired to the Chamber Of Deputies, accom-
panied by the two Princes aud the Dukes dc
Nemours and Montpensier. The Duchess
seated herself i'll AN arm chair between her
two sons.
The han was then forcibly entered by a
multitude Of armed men Of the lower orders,
and National Guards. The Princess and
her children then retired to one Of the upper
benches of The centre, opposite the PFesiden-
tial chair.
The greatest agitation and uproar prevail
ed, and when silence was restored, NJ. Du-
min arose and announced to the assembly
that the King had abdicaled in favor of his
grandson, and conferred the regency on ihe
Duchess of Orleans. A voice from the pub
lie gallery-"Il is TOO late ~

A number Of deputies collected round the
Duchess aud her children, and the Dukes of
Nemours a. Monipensier, the National Guards
also rallied round the royal family.

FRIDAY, Feb. 25. The Provisional Co
vernment publishes in the Moniteur It's inau-
gural proclamation. After naming the menu
bers OF the Government it says:
These citizens have not h~esitated one In
slant in accepting the patriotic mission iR-
posed upon them by urgency.
When blood flows, when The capital Of
France is on fire, the commission Of the pro-
visional Governments derived from the pub
lie peiil and the public safety. Fhe whole
OF France will understand II, and will afford
il The concurrence Of patriotism. Under the
popular government proclaimed by the Pro-
visional Government every citizen is a mag
isirate.
Frenchmen, give the world the example
that Paris has given 10 France; prepare your
selves, by order and by confidence in your
selves, for the powerful institutions which
you are to be called upon to give to your
selves.
The Provisional government wills for a
REPUBLIC, saving the ratifcaiions Of the
French people, which is Immediately 10 be
consulted.
Neither the PEOPLE of Paris nor the Provi-
sional government pretend to substitute their
opinion for the opinion Of the citizens on the
deinitive form of the government, which the
sovereignty of the nation will proclaim.
The unity Of the nation, formed heBceforth
Of all the classes of the nation which COM
pose it;
The government of The nation by itself;
Liberty, equality, and fraternity, for prin-
eiples;
The People, for motto and mot d'ordre.
Such is the democratic government which
France owes herself, and 10 which our eff
forts should be insured.
These are the first acts of the Provisional
government.
In the last session Of the Chamber Of De-
pnties, it declared itself en- permanenee, and
evidently showed a desire 10 support tho
Count de Paris, with the Duchess OF Orleans
as Regent, the idea of a Republic not pleas
ing Odilon BaIrot and d majority of his col
leagues. But il will be hard for him TO act
the part played by Lafayette in 1880. Ledru
Rollin and the Radicals are determined upon
a REPuBLIC FRANCHISE, modelled after that
Of the United States; and if one is formed,
