from them. The King, l say, has just sent
for Count Mole to form u new Cabinet. As
long as the present Ministry bc charged with
the conduct Of affairs it will maintain or res
tore order, and cause the laws to be respected,
according to its conscience, as it has done till
now.n
Much conversation ensued betweenthe mem
bers, GuizOt retaining his cynical haughtiness
to the last.
While the above was going on in the Cham
bers, great numbers OF fresh troops continued
to be marched into Paris, from garrisons with
in short marches Of the capital. Though the
rappel was beaten, the National Guard did not
tam out. Early in tho afternoon, a dcputation
Of the officers Of the National Guard went to
the Tuileries to demand that the Guizot Minis
try should be dismissed, when they were told
by General Jacqueminot, commanding the Ma
iiOnul Guard, that the Ministry had given in its
resignation.
The red aspect Of the sky in the direction
of Mont-Valerin showed that an incendiary
lire was raging there.
At about O'Clock an immens crowd, con-
sisting. almost exclusively Of persons Of the
working classes, many Of them very young,
descended the Boulevards. They were headed
by men bearing blazing torches. They sang a
new %iavorite song, beginning
=" Mourir pour Ia Patrie,
/" C'est le sort lie plus beau, 10 plus digne d.
enview
At intervals they changed the refrain by
shouting with all the force of their lungs,
"Down with Guizot! down with Guizotm
On reaching the Ministry o fForeign Affairs,
they found assembled very strong forces of in
fantry and dragons, which occupied the
whole width OF the BOulevards, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of the pavement near the Rue Basse du
Rempart. Some persons expected to see the
mob come into collision with the troops, but
instead OF that the torch-bearers iiled off on
the pavements, shouting 6 Five Ia ligne' pire Ia
hgne!m and they were followed by all theiI
large train. After having passed the sol
diers, the crowd raised a terrific shout o.
SHOWN with Guizot" after which, having
formed themselves into something like order
they struck up the eternal " WOurif pour Ia
patrie!t" and continued it until they reached
the church Of the Madeleine. There a large
detachment of the National Guard was station
ed. The 'commandant, on seeing the mob
went to the leaders of it, recommended then
to extinguish their torches and to be orderly
The torch-bearers Immediately complied will
the request, and a thousand voices shouted
" Long live the National Guard"
Among the various collisions caused by thil
state of things, between the people and thOa'
of the military who still Obeyed orders, wa
the following-one, probably, Of many like it
The 18th regiment of the line, stationed il
front of the Hotel des Affaires Etrangers, fired
about II O'Clock at night, on numerous grouI
of Young men, who were passing with som
National Guards at their head, and killed
considerable number Of them, besides wound
inc many others. This event caused tn
greatest excitement, particularly at later hou
Of the night, when som OF the dead bodies
at least 90, it is said, were carried in q WACO
: along the Boulevards towards the Bastilt
Some barbados were Immediately thrown II
. in the Rue Faubourg Montmaftre, the Ru
Montmartre and other streets close to tn
Boulevards. Some cabriolets, trees, barrel
and other articles, were also flung togethe
. across the Boulevard des ~Italiens, so as to forr
" a kind of barrieade, but the pavement had nc
been taken up as in other places mentioned
:. No further conflict, however, seems to hay
taken place at that point.
The night of the 23d seems to have place
beyond a doubt the fact that that most potter
and awful of majesties, a People aroused |
!. Wrath and Determination, existed in Paris
! and was arrayed against the existing GO
, eminent. How cowardice and tyranny 6
: hand in hand, is proved by the succeedin
events. Where went all the Kings conidonc
and Guizot's naughty superciliousness!
We come now to Thursday, 24th Februar.
