We do not know that we can better close our extracts
than by the following official and trust reliable state
ments OF the purposes and policy OF the provisional re-
publican government of France which this revolution
seems to have established The following proclamation
has been issued by the government in the columns Of The
Noniteur:
TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE
retrograde has been overturned by the he
roism OF the people of Paris.
This government has fled, leaving behind it traces oil
blood which will ever forbid its return.
The blood of the people has flowed, in Juy but hap
ply it has not been shed in vain 1t has secured nation
n and popular government in accordance with the rights

curing the national victory It is composed of MN Du.
pont de Eure, Lamartine, Cremieux, Arago, LedruRo
lin, and GARNER Pages.
The secretaries to this government are MN Armand
Marrast, Louis Blanc, and Ferdinand Flocon.
These citizens have hesitaed for instant to accept
the patriotic mission which has been imposed upon them
by the urgency OF the occasion.
Frenchmen, give to the world the example Paris has !.
given France Prepare yourselves by order and conf
lence in yourselves, for the institutions which are about
be given to you.
The provisional government desires republic bending

the abdication OF Louis Philippe that we have met with
1t will be seen that provisional government is an
nounced, that the desire for republic is expressed a
an intention to submit the whole matter for ratification
to the French people Various appointments had ALREADY
been made and the National had announced the reso
ton OF order. and assured the people that they might
resume their affairs with perfect safety"
Since the above article was compiled, the arrival

rants the gratifying belief that the hopes Of %lI
