lY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
LONDON. Monday, Aug. o. 1870.
The special correspondent OF TIE TRIBUNE writes
from Paris on Sunday 2ls) "Thc Committee OF
Defense as finally organized comprises Gen. lrochu,
Marshal Valiant, Admiral Rgault de Genoully,
Baron Jerome David Gen De La Tour, Gen. GuiOd.
| Gen. DAutemarre D'Eryill6, and Gen. Soumain. 1t
possess the fullest powers and has special executive
committee that meets daily in the War Office re-
cevng reports on the state of the defensive works
armament munitions and provisions in store, and all
operations These reports 90 subsequently to the
Minister of War, and thence TO the Council.
1T is fully believed here that the Empress is
urring the Emperor TO abdcate in favor of his son;
hut the Emperor refuses. All the acts Of the Corps
L6gislatif take effect without Imperial DEGREES
frmiug them or directing their execution
The following extract from private letter dated
g1st by a correspondent long resident in Paris gives
a singularly clear and trustworthy account OF the
actual situation and prospects in the French capital
Trochus first and second addresses to Paris, and
his first to the Tmps marks the extent and rapidity
OF the political transformation are undergoing,
while the personal clements of the provisional
anonymous Government show that the transfoma-
4
say anonymous Tor, although the old name is still
over the door, the business has gone into the hands
Of assiruees. The real executive tIiumyimte is
Blzainc Troclu, and Palilao. The Legislature is
led uainy by Thicrs and Gambctta, who have strac1
hands with palibao for the occasion
The Republicans don't care to push things much
faster than they are going; they do not, at least
want 30 declare n republic now. The nearest to q
conclusion reached last Friday 10y about hundred
of hon. members of the Left, journalists and others
was to wait and watch tie growing chance. At
later and much smaller meeting, or interview be-
tween q dozen Republicans and Guhbat,a. the latter
being asked whether Palikao deserved all the trust
ne seemed to place in him, answered, Yes because
/ be is a traitor
! "Gambetia young as he IS. shows more Of the
quality Of a political leader than anybody else in
/ the Chamber except the NCs.or Theirs The real
trouble is the old ONE: The party is all heads and no
no body. As Bfrauger long since said. There Is no
| one for Yice-President' But the mill even now has
begun 20 grind Napoleouism pretty hard crushing it
/ finely and not slowly The Napoleoni.t are already
/ boiling, and getting ready to bolt.
Prom what / hear, from what Americans long m
business tel me- from other evidence such as Tro-
clus letter. and from n very remarkable letter
written by George Sand, shown me 6y her CORE
,rondeut. l Judge that the cy-Napoleonists, the
ai1lnatiye voters on the plebsc.mn,a are now almost
beyond the old Opposition in their contempt o. the
Lpnerial rog,mG You hear treason constantly in the
opeu streets and cafes Spies if any still remain,
iclv listen and DE welcome Even the American
TOURISTS and resident, cooling in taeir admiration
for the Emperor.
"Whetaer the French cueratCd by the last
twenty years of lnscovcument viii prove equal TO
tie need Of the SITUATION, OF whether his anony-
nous Government can bring out the latent virility
OF the people are open questions. That with GOV
errmcutof revolutionary energy and In fun exchange
Of confidence with the people, they could defend Paris
and dive the Germans on French soil, have no
shadow of doubt But the assTces are merely CO.
