ORIGINAL CAUSE
The excitement on the Goth turned on the pub.tcaA
ton In Felix Pyats journal, lie Combat OF the state
ment thar Bazane adhered to Napoleon, and offered
peace in the name of the empire, provided he be
permitted TO march his army to Paris and take
possession OF the government, with the aid
OF the Prussan government A published
denial In the oficial journal declared that
Bazaine made constant sorties, ana the escape
OF Bourbaki was determined on in order that no
might lead the army Of the republic to the release OF
Metz. Pyat however, repeated the statement
and published card declaring that he
had received the information from Gus
fave Plourens, who had it direct from citizen
Rochefort, q member of the Government Of national
Defence. The National Guard could not allow the
opportunity OF making . manifestation Of their gu
premacy pass and a number OF them went to
the Hotel de Vile, and demanded explanations.
HEADS CALLED FoR.

| INSTABILITY OF FRENCH CHARACTER.
| This incident has turned the minds OF the people
of Paris from the contemplation Of the horrors Of
the situation. In fact, the versatile character OF the
| people Is unchanged by SIX weeks siege. Should
one real success reach their arms Tomorrow, how
ever slight, they would be ready again to rush down

| TRocHU's UHRELIABILIrY
Even Trocha himself has not the entire confidence

the last Council OF Ministers, presided by the

the principal party engaged In procuring the
