An indescribable scene Of tumult ensued.
number of Deputies collected around the
Duchess and her children, and the Dukes Of
Nemours and Montpensier. National Guards
also rallied around the Royal Family,
M. Marie then assembled the tribune without
being able to speak, his voice being drowned
by deafenipg cEies. When silence was ~restor-
ed, M. Marie said that in the critical situation
in which the capital was placed it was urgent
ly necessary to adopt such measures c~alculat-
ed to calm the population. Since morning the
evil had made immense progress. Shall we
proclaim the Duke de NemOurs or the Duchess
of Orleans Regent M. Crimeux, who fol-
lowed, was Of opinion u uphold thenew Gov
eminent. NJ. Genoude thought that an ap-
peal ought to be addressed TO the people. NJ.
0dillon Barrett next assembled the tribune and
advocated the rights Of the Duchess d'Oreans.
M. Larochejaquelin supported the appeal to
the people. NJ. Lamartine and Nj. Ledru-
Rolin insisted on the necessity Of appointing a
Provisional Government. NJ. Sauzet here put
on his hat and concluded the sitting. The
Princess retired, followed by all the members
Of the Centre, those Of the Left alone remain
ing in the hall. The insurgents then called,
or rather carried NJ. Dupont do pEuro to the
Presidential chair. The tribune and all the
seats were occupied by the people and the Ma
tiOnal Guards, and the names OF the members
were proclaimed amidst u scene which has not
been witnessed since the Convention. The as
sembly then adjourned TO the Hotel de Vile to
instal the Provisional Government.
All through this day, as on the preceding
one, large bodies of citizens moved through
the s~treets-here and there coming into colli-
sion with the-soldiery, No very serious loss oil
life, however, seems to have followed any
where, The regular soldiers and the royalisI
influence were timid-fearful of urging things
q step too far, or of provoking the people, even
by ordinary resistance. On the other hand,
the people seem. not to have known exactly
what they wanted, They knew, however
what they did not want,
II is stated IN %aletter in the European Times,
dated almost at the very hour of the steam
ships departure, that the Palais Royal and the
Tuileries were both stormed by the populace,
and taken after n loss OF 500 men killed. The
letter places these events in conjunction will
others mentioned by the Partisan prints ashaV
ing occurred on the Gath inst. No mention 0
them (the taking of the two palaces by tn
pOpulacc) is made by the Paris papers; and
they occurred at all-which is by no mean
clear from the best Accountability must hav'
occurred on the 23d of February. We doabt
however, whether they occurred at all.
One of the incidents of the 24th is wei
worthy of notice. The throne of Louis Phil
ippe was carried in procession from the Tuile
ries, and burnt on the Place de la Bastille, clos
} 10 the Column of July.
, During the day, the King (even his age can
? not save him from exciting disgustD betooI
Q himself away from Paris, with the royal FAM
a ly. Their destination is not given.
: Immediately subsequent TO the transaction
Q related in the foregoing account, appears tn
r following manifesto, published in the Moni
) teur of Friday, 18th:
