The following is Gambetta's proclamation
| to the people:
by order of the Republican government
left Paris, to transmit to you the hopes of
the Parisians, and others seeking to deliver
France. Paris presents q spectacle Of two
| million people forgetting all differences to
withstand the invaders, who expected dis
cord. Four hundred thousand National
| Guards are now armed; one hundred thou
| sand Mobiles and sixty thousand regulars
| are assembled. The fOundries are casting
l ho n mi n
cartridges daily. Each battalion of Nation
| al Guards has two mitrailleuse tield-pieces,
and are preparing for sOrties. s
| THE forts are manned by marines, who
are supplied with artillery Of the greatest
| excellence, served by the finest gunners in
the world. Hitherto their fire has kept the
! enemy from erecting the smaller works. E
The enceinte, on the fourteenth ultimo,
| had 500 cannon, and now has $50, with 400
rounds for each. Every defense has its
| men at their posts. .aat r,~
| "The Nationals drill constantly behind
| the barricades, which are adapted to the
genius of the Parisians.
The impregnability of Paris is no illusion.
| 1t cannot be captured or surprised, or re-
duced by starvation. Arms are now COM
ing from every quarter Of the globe, and
| wOrkmen and money are forthcoming. The
provinces must resist tOrpOr and panic, and
all partisans must aid the Republic. Soon
the winter will come, finding the Prussians
far from home, decimated by the French
| arms, hunger and nature. France shall
never lose its place in the world through
| the invasion of half d million men. Paris
gives the watchwOrd, Tire la Republique,
| O1o and indivisible."
