Contradiction of the Paris Revolt
There is no truth in the story that tie
army of Paris has revolted, and the
stories of firing in the city is believed to
have originated from the small arms prac-
tice of new troops which Trochu is drill

turbances in that part, particularly at
night, fermented partly by robbers and
murderers and party by hostile emissaries.
There have been number of attacks
on houses and hotels, particularly in

A General Arrested by his own Sol
diers.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-Gen. A. Whert,
who commanded section of the fortif-
cations of Paris, extending from bastion
46 to bastion 81, was arrested by his own
men Sunday afternoon, the 18th. He was
standing amidst his officers, whom he had
called together to give some explanations
and instructions, when he dropped re-
mark that he trusted the new battalions of
the National Guard, having been formed
on a model of the old, would prove as
good, and regretting that the new bat
taliUns could only be supplied at present
with percussion muskets. A crowd of
from five hundred to six hundred began
the cry of give la republque." He
then told the officers he could only ac-
knowledge the government, ratified by
universal suffrage, which the republic had
not been. The captains replied that they
could not acknowledge a commander who
did not acknowledge the republic, took
him prisoner and led HIM off to the Min
lister of the Interior, who approved the
act. Gen. TrOchu has since told these
captains that they did right, and deprived
Gen. A. Whert of his command.
The Paris Press on the Elections.
The Reveille says: Favre tells us the
assembly must be convoked so we may
treat regularly with Prussia. He fOrgets
the Republic will never treat with inva-
ders, and we tell him plainly before
hand we shall regard all deputies who
may receive this supreme dishonor as
traitors. Having asked what kind of as
sembly that would be in which there were
no representatives from Alsace, Lorraine,
Champagne, or Isle de France, and where
it would meet, the Reveille says: ''Nol a
thousand times, no. The election of 0c-
tober 2 is impossible. 1t will not take
place.
The AvenlT Rationale fOreseeS great
difficulties in the election on account of
the hostile occupation, but the Temps
says, if our department remains firm, that
department would represent and exercise
the whole sovereignty of the nation.
The Figaro publishes a very serious ap-
peal which may be thus epitomized: We
have neither artillery, generals nor sol
dicrs. 1t is necessary to acknowledge this,
