PARIS, September 6.-The following is
a sketch of the proceedings of the Corps
Legislatif Saturday night and Sunday
morning, previous to the closing session,
already reported: The Corps Legislatif,
which had only taken a recess, reassem-
bled at half past one Sunday morning,
and after an exciting session in the even
ing, at which the Ministers had explained
the situation, President Schneider said,
"that painful and grave news was COM
municated to us during the evening, ard
as President of the House he had a double
duty to perform toward it and the nation,
and for the rest by an urgent demand on
the part of great number of my col
leagues you have been called together in
extraordinary session. ! allow
therefore the floor to the Minister
of War, that he may finish the statement
which he began. At the mornings sitting
Count Polilska said l have the painful
version TO inform you why my words be-
fore must have fOreshadowed the news
which was only semi-official, has become
official. After heroic efforts the army has
been rolled back into Sedan and been en-
compassed there by such superior forces
that it has been obliged to capitu-
late. The Emperor has been made prison.
or. In view of this news. it will be inn
possible to enter upon serious disc Jssion
of consequences these events NAV in
yOlye. l have been forced to leave
my bed to attend this meeting, and my
colleagues have had no opportunity to
deliberate.
President Schneider proposed an ad-
journment until to-day at noon. He said
the situation imposed on him great
duties, and he would fill them; but
the ministry not having yet been
able to deliberate, and each one needing
time to think over carefully the grave
resolution which the occasion needed,
he thought it would be wise to adjourn.
Jules Favre said, "If this body is of the
opinion that, in the grievous emergency
described by the Minister of War, it
should adjourn until noon, will not op-
pose it; but we believe it our duty TO
seize the occasion to lay before the House
a proposition which the exciting situation
demands. We will not add one word to
the text which we now lay before you.
We move that the Chamber adopt the
following resolution: t
"ReSOLUed, That Louis Napoleon Bona
rsrte and his dynasty be declared to have
forfeited the powers which the nation
conferred on them; that there shall be
chosen an Executive Committee, COM
posed of members, the number of whom
shall be fixed by the Chamber, which
shall be invested with fun powers
necessary to repel invasion, and
drive the enemy from the
soil that Gen. Trochu, Governor of Paris,
be charged exclusively with the defense
of the capitol"
The reading of this resolution was
listened to with profound silence. A
single voice was raised. 1t was that of
Pinard. "We have not the power, said he,
'to pronounce the decheance."
President Schneider returned to
his proposition to adjourn the
sitting until noon, on account of the
gravity of what had happened.
The Corps Legislstif agreed, and the
sitting adjourned.
PARIS, September 6-The International
Workingmen's Association has issued the
following manifesto, addressed to the Ger
man Socialists:
Democracy, brothers-The Prussian
government, at the brink of the cam
paign, declared that it waged war against
the Emperor, and not against the people
of France. The Republicans of France
invite Germany, in the name of justice,
to withdraw her forces from the soil of
France. If not, France must fight to the
last man, and shed their blood and ours.
As soon as the Rhine Is recrossed, we
shall stretch forth our hands to you and
forget our mutual crimes which despots
made us commit. We repeat, as in '92,
that the French people can conclude no
peace with an enemy occupying French
territory. Let us claim the liberty, equal
ity and fraternity of the people. Let US
form a United States of Europe. Long
live the universal Republic"
