DISTURBANCES IN PARIS.
Tours, November 4.-The follow
ing official report of the recent riots
in Paris is given to the public to-day /:
About noon on the 31st, groups of
people assembled in the Place de la
Hotel de Willie; they were much ex
cited by a false rumor that the Gov
eminent had agreed to an armistice.
The crowd so pressed against the
doors of the hotel de Willie that they
were forced open, and about two humid
red persons endeavored to enter the
hall where the members of the Gov
eminent hold sessions. This they
we're prevented from doing by the
Guard Mobile on guard in the vicini-
ty. About one o'clock, large num-
bers of the National Guard, who
were. unarmed, crowded into the
Place de Hotel. de Vile, already fill
ed to excess with a surging mass of
people, AT this time Henri Roche
fort arrived in an open carriage,
and vainly endeavored TO address the
people. The latter, however. refused
10 listen to him, shouting constantly
give commune and No armistice.'
General Trochu then came forward
and addressed the crowd, He re-
viewed what was being done to render
Paris impregnable, and expressed his
devotion to the Republic and to the
people. He was not listened to. The
people shouted continually, and de.
manded the dismissal of the present
government. A great turmoil ensued

Hotel de Vile, Favre and Rochfort

istice," kept %crowding the place

when n any of the crowd quickly dis
persed, spreading the alarm through
the city that the Government had fir

that the person who fired the pisto
had been arrested and the people wer
Gained. The advocates of commun

to hold on election. They rthrey

/. All along the ~boulevards and Plac
