WHAT THE PARIS PRESS SAID.
ts,rsr Imsrersions After the Change.


The Paris journals OF the 7th OF September con-
tinued their comments on the change OF govern
mcnt in France. The democratic organs are nat
uraly marked by expressions OF great exultation,
while the others are obliged to accept The new state
of things with resignation.
The ClOche, which is ultra-republican, says:--
The republic is proclaimed, and has triumphanly,
and with mien erect, re-entered under radiant
sun that palace whence she was driven by bandits
in the night. 1t has again ascended that grand STAIR
case from the top OF which 1t was presented to the
assembled people In 1S4S. 1t has come back to us
again. marnanimousy. without blo0ished or ofher
violence than the breaking OF some window panes.
Now that the people have seen and held communion
that beautiful verna sun, let the nation be inspired
by It's return with strength to conquer or die and
hasten to meet the enemyl The empire has disap-
peared, but the Prussans are still in France. That
is the evil that must now be remedled.
The Steele calls strongly for firm defence OF the
French territory
From the Alps to the Atlantic, from the vosges
to the Pyrenees let but one shout resound the war
cry OF sovereign people rising In arms to repel the
foreigner Let us show them republican France
ready to fight and resolved to sacrifice the very last
man rather than submit to the yoke OF the stranger
10 arms then population Of thirty-sX millions
is iDvncible. Spain gave us In 1905 n memorable
example OF what nation can do, even when desti-
tlte OF military forces, against the bravest armies
IN the world. SaragOss3, without ramparS and SOL
diers, almost without cannons but defended by men
who knew how to die, opposed during whole
months q barrier TO NapOleon's best army. Let our
cities be inspired by that heroic example Let our
provinces also rise and begin war 10 the knife
against the flank and rear OF the enemy! To arms
then to arms and Vive la republique
The following passages are from the Gdulois:--
provisional government formed itself yesterday
and mas assumed all the terrible responsibility of the
situation. The names OF the men who compose 1t
are known to assume, in such conditions. the con-
duct OF affairs no doubt requires very great patriot
ism, for which the country must be grateful to the
members Of the provisional government. General
Trochu Is one OF the men who inspire the coun-
iry with most confidence; the foreign Powers will
see IN MN the genuine personncatiOn OF valiant

The Pubtic protests In strong language against the
| conduct Of the men at the head OF power. The
| writer's language runs thus
France has this day two great aflctions, whereas

She now has the nagrant revolutionary violation OF

now the country will hereafter and II Is with the
accent the deepest and most patriotic Indignation

powers ana without the concurrence OF the national
representation.
The Debats, which had remained silent, expresses
it's views III these terms:-
We have no intention 10 examine the legal value
OF the government established al the Hotel de Vile.
to the morality and Opportuneness OF the revolution
ary movement which has just trumphed, every one
must admit that the first and most urgent necessity
OF the day Is 10 have at Paris power equal to the
terrible interior and exterior difcutles O the pre-
sent hour. We cannot therefore tbink or oDpOsi Dg

events, We ardently desire that 1t may honoIaby
