The following is the proclamation of Gene

Troops and Seamen in the Army of Paris,
and to all the Defenders Of the Capitol:
I'm the midst of events OF the highest impor'
tance, have been appointed Governor. How
ever great the peril, depend on your patriot
ism. Should Paris be subject to siege, never
was there more magnificent opportunity to
prove to the world that long prosperity has
not enervated the country. You have before
you the example Of the army, which has
fought one against three. Their heroic strug-
gle compels the admiration Of all. Show by
your conduct that you likewise have the feel
ing OF profound responsibility resting upon
you."

absolutely uncontrolled. The Emperor re-
plieS "General, conhde TO you the safety of
the capital Take command"

ness.
