issued and pacarded through the streets, under the
signatures Of the Project of Police and the Command
ant of the National Guard: the first warning the peo
pie, and the second calling upon the National Guard
not to attend the meeting. The issuing OF these
placards caused great excitement but no immediate
breach of the peace. They were torn down, how,
ever, stamped upon, and treated with every mark
Of contempt The opposition Deputies re-assembled
in the evening, and thought it best to agree to defer
holding the meeting, seeing the determined stand
which the Administration had taken and the prepa-
rations which they had made to make use OF every
kind of military force. Only seventeen Deputies
voted for holding the meeting under existing clrcum-
stances the rest for its posiponement. Notice oil
this postpOnement was Immediately placarded, and
the excitement became very intense and general.
Tuesday, the 22d, was day in Paris more re.
sembling one of the three days in July, $780, than
any day which has occurred between that period and
the present. Fortunately, however, so far as we
have heard, there very little bloodshed. There
is an account of only one person having been killed,
although several were wounded. Large masses OF
people paraded the Streets singing the Marsellalse
hymn and uitering fefocous cries Of vengeance
against Guizot An attack was made upon the
Chamber of Deputies, and one upon the Hotel Of
Foreign Affairs both, however, were easily repel-
led by the soldiery, who were posted in great num-
Der all over the city, The soldiers and the citizens
behaved with greatgood temper towards each other
the former, when compelled to charge and use
their swords used only the flat side, and the peo-
pie were occasionally seen shaking hanls with the
soldiers. Odlon Barrot, on Tuesday, impeached
Guizot in the Chamber Of high crimes and INSIDE
meanors, including corruption, oppression, DC. !;
and it is rumored that, after this charge has been
heard, and decision upon it taken, he and all
the Deputies on the opposition side OF the Cham
Der will resign. Among the names attached to the
articles of impeachment besides that OF Barrot, are
those of George Lafayette, Arago, Carnot, &c.
FEBRUARY 25, 1913.
The news from Paris received last evening and
this morning is of the most important description.
Great disturbances occurred in various parts OF the
city throughout the whole of Tuesday evening and
night; several conflicts took place, and lives were
lost on both sides many of she streets were barrl-
caded. There appears 10 have been no adverse
feeling towards the King and royal family; for
when his Majesty, attended by the Dukes de Ne
mours and Montpensier, passed the soldiers and
National Guard in review on Tuesday evening ne
was loudly cheered. The only cries, except
9 Tipe Louis Philippe" were "Reforme" and
/" a bas GuiSot."
| The disturbances continued through the whole Of
Wednesday, (23d) with great and constantly re.
newed vigor on the part Of the people; the Ma
tional Guard, in many instances raternlzlng with
them. The affair grew hourly more menaclng until
towards evening, when the rumor OF the resigna.
ton Of the Ministry stopped the current of popular
fury, and produced a temporary pause. Soon alter
the assemblage of the Chamber Of Deputies the
Minister for Foreign Affairs STATED that the King
had called on Count MOLE 10 form new Cabinet
This announcementwas received with loud cheers
short but highly interesting debate ensued, in
which M. GuIzoT and his Ministerial colleagues
! showed admirable 6rmness and decision. 1t ended
| however, without the Chambers entering upon the
| question Of the impeachment of the Ministers. A
very stormy conversation took place in the Cham
Der of Peers on the state of Paris, but it led to nc
result. Various rumors exist as ID the parties who
| are to form the new MISREPRESENTATION J
Count Mole will be President of the Council and
Minister for Foreign Affairs. NJ. Passy is men
toned as Minister of Finance, and NJ. de Tocque
vile as Minister of Public instruction. Whole
legions OF the National Guard fraternzed with thu
people early on Wednesday, and joined in the
cries for reform and change of Ministers. A
times conflicts between the Guards and the regula
soldiers appeared inevitable, but none took place
The general aspect Of affairs on Wednesday nigh
was, that though the people rejoiced at the resgna
ton Of the Ministry, they were not quite satisfied
with Count Mole at the head of new one. Il
is not enough" they said, we must have reform.
II is very possible that they will not be satisfied
with less than seeing Odilon Barrot in the Cabinet
nor feel themselves sure of reform without this qua
ranty. Count Mole's administration would hav
the support of the conservative majority although
the new Cabinet is said TO contain many member
OF the Opposition. The compromise patched VI
may serve for time, but ii cannot be permanent
A Theirs and Bafrot Cabinet will be forced upol
the King: such an administration would be satisfac
tory TO the people, and the most truly conservative
