PARIS, September, 4, Midnight.
AS the proclamation of the Min
listers announcing the capitulation
of McMahon's army and the capture
of the Emperor becomes known, the
excitement among the people be-
comes indescribable. All the even
ing great crowds occupied the Place
De la Concorde, it being known
that stormy scene had taken place
in the Corps Legislatif. The story
of the capture of the Emperor was
freely circulated but was not cred
tied. 1t was asserted that dicta-
torship would be announced, and
that a secret meeting was being
held. The crowd anXiously awaited
the news. There was large police
force on the ground, but there was
no violence. At last the crowd sep
arated. At this hour many of the
streets are crowded with anxious
and excited people, but there is no
disorder.

PARIS, Sept. 5-3 P. NJ.
1t is now impossible to reach the
Corps Legislatif owing to the enor-
nous crowds surrounding the build
ing. 1t is reported that the vote on
forfeiture has been carried by yeas
one hundred and eighty-fve, nays
none. The people are wild with ex-
citement, and are rushing through
the streets bearing placards with
the vote of the Corps Legislatif in
scribed thereon. Shouts of "Vive
Republique" are heard on all sides.
The regiments passing into the city
are received by the populace with
shouts of "Vive La Ligne," and
"Vive Republique." The National
Guards reversed their arms as the
regular troops passed as sign of
amity. The troops are singing the
"Mourir pour la Patrie," and the
scene is one of indescribable excite
ment. Rumors of all kinds are in
circulation and it is impossible to
ascertain their foundation; but one
sentiment appears to be paramount,
resistance to invasion. "All nations
now to the rescue" shout the peo-
pie, and the troops join enthusiastic
ally in the cry. The Garde Rationale
says order must be preserved. The
people evince but little desire to
create trouble; all seem overjoyed
at the vote on decheance forfeit
ure.
