| amount 10 riot, there was evidently
rolous disposition abroad For the first
Time lor the last twenty years the "Marseil-
laise" has been sung on the Central Bouve
yards, and the denizens of the Quarter of
the Bourse and the Rue Ylvenne have had
the exciting paslme of seeing large mobs
| sledaddling up and down the BouleVards,
chased by whole brgades of policemen.
am, however, very sorry TO say that TO the
| detective arrangements OF the authorities the
disturbance, such as it was, is attributed.
| AT about hall-past eight o'clock, perfect
cloud of policemen, | should say 400 or 800,
took mp position along the north side OF
the boulevard Montmalre, occupying in
great lurce the corner OF the Rue Grange

, formerly known rs VacheiIe's, but now as
Brehants. As matter of course crowd
,, collected to look nj the sergents de vile,
wondering what was going to turn up, and
/ another crowd collected TO lock at the first
crowd The cafes on the Boulevard were
: instantly filled, and some OF them had as
many four rows OF tables in front OF the
-, shops, all of winch were occupied by al
. jrasco consumers Circulation was difficult,
no doubt but the large, mmoveable masses

AT $40 the Police proceeded in body

h aud arrested q man who persisted In selling

: row, escaped, bolted into cafe, whittier the
; Police pursued, and finally captured him,
. dragging him away to the station house,
while he shouted a tassassiR. A large
:. crowd followed, hooiing the Police. Mean.
:, while the crowd increased in numbers and
y frequent CRIES were heard OF VfUe Roche

on for some time, when all st once band

~ then made charge all along the northern
" nnthway of the Boulevard, and the crowd
p in rushing along overturned the tables out
~ side the cafes, and in many instances the
~ customers too. Several persons came TO
p rrlcl, am told, during this first charge, and
70 / saw one woman carried off In a state Of

hc 1tVfDe Rochef0rtn and the "Marseillaise"
NJ were again attempted, followed by another
rs charge OF the Police, and that wild sort OF
nc indisiinet clamor which marks the French
~, crowd in lis angry mood. All the cafes on
nH the north side were then entered by police
ie, men. cleared of their customers and shut
up This, OF course, partly increased the
t numbers 0nlside and the persons thus dis
'ne turbed were in no cheerful mood. All oil
"s sudden-huw it happened don't know
;. but the crowd ana the Police were suddenly
lnE transferred TO the south side; there was
VI wild shout, another charge, and regular
req stampede. The Passage des Panoramas
ley was then closed, and also the library of
cui Iairaix al the corner OF the Rne Viviernes
on ON Presently the cafes began getting out their
nc ncu shutters, and the customers outside invited
hl to finish their beer, coffee, or ice, and move
usN on Some did and some didn't. Then there
lne m was some yelling at the Police, more
oYS charges, more stampedes, and this sort ol
~" ln thing was still going on with undlminished
lnu. spirit at one o'clock this morning, when
'lns left hear that in the course of the even
Y, ing there were 100 TO 100 persons arrested.

1io io' tive of what myself saw must confess
