National Guard were urged to appear ~ithoutsrms
and all were entreated to do nothing contrary 70
tranquility or beyond the purpose of legal and
pacific protest against thc interdict OF the Govern

This drew from the Greiect OF IOlce " ptOCla

was posted up over Paris and brought the excite

that now the last responsibility rests on them. Had
they allowed the banquet to proceed, and then
brought the question before the legal tribunals for
adjudication, all would have passed over in peace
and the law would have had its course without
hiudrauce. But they had trampled on the law,
they would not have Order with Liberty and of

up in tumult.
The members OF the Opposition met after the dis

They wisely resolved to throw the whole RESPONSE.
bility on the Government, and to do nothing which
should bring on collision between the Government
and People Tho same placard which announced
this resolution also announced an impeachment Of
the Ministry. Thereupon the Committee having
charge of the banquet adjourned it indefinitely; all
the preparations were cleared away on Tuesday
morning. and body of cavalry took possession oil
the vicinity of the place where it was to have been
held.
This step of the Opposition Deputies was not re-
ceived with perfect satisfaction They were told
that they should have resigned their seats before
yielling to the Ministry and that they had deserted
the people whom they had excited to resistance
aud who now were looking to them for leaders
But the truth seems to be tina. none Of them were
keen enough to see what was about to happen
The very men who by their attacks on the Govern
ment had raised the storm, were not ready Tor iu
breaking forth, or aware OF the extent to which Il
was to go. They had no expectation OF such Z
NRevolution as has taken place.
On Tuesday morning the people were collected
in dense mass in front of GuIzoT's hotel in good
humor, joking with the soldiers who kept them
under control. But on Tuesday afternoon the rev.
olution began barbados were formed, and seye'
raj conflicts took place between the people and tho
soldiery, of whom there were hundred thousand

many, lives were lost. In the Deputies tho i'm
parchment Of the Ministers was submitted by
BARRor, but was not acted upon, being made the
order Of the day for Thursday, and AS usual the
Chamber rose in great agitation At night the
city was buried ia utter darkness, the lamps hav'
iog all been torn down or extingushed the Ma.
tional Guards patroled in the heavy gloom, and
the people sang the Marseaise.
Meanwhile at the Place du Csrrousel, where The
troops are quartered in large numbers, the King
with his sons, Nemours and Montpensier holdss
last review and as the battaons march past by the
light of the blazing watch fires they shout we t
Ron the last time that those aged shall catch
the sound. Poor old king Heartless, selfish 10
doubt thou art but there is something in these lest
loyal cheers in the midst OF that revolted capital,
from which thou art so soon to depart, that might

The next day the Chambers met as usual at
o'clock. The Ministers were present, GUizor hav
ing been received with groans as he passed
through the body Of National Guards which protect
ed the Chamber. When called on to explain tho
state of the city, be replied that the King had sent
for Count MOLE to form a new Ministry and no
reply could have been received so gladly. Inc
