New-York tribune., 1870-09-06
tho streets, and the journals were sought with
extreme avidity and immense crowds gathered
around the hall of the Corps Legislatif, where

order, but the people did not seem inclined to
rioting, though much excited, and demanding
the passage of the decree of forfeiture (de-
ch6dnce) against the Emperor.
After a session of two hours, the Deputies
passed the decree of forfeiture by vote of,
Yeas, 1885, Nays, none. When the result was
announced to the people, they became wild
with excitement, and many rushed through
the streets with placards bearing the result OF
the vote.
There was much confusion in the city, and
such immense crowds about the Corps Legls-
latif that it was impossible TO get faithful
account of the business transacted by the
Deputies, but it is now reported, and on good
authority, that after the vote of dechednce the
majority retired. The members of the Gduche
and the Centre Gauche remained, constituting
q Provisional Government, and naming the
following persons Jules Favre, Gambetta,
Jules Simon, K6ratry, Picard Pelleton, and
jules Ferry.
At the departure of the deputies from the
Corps LGgislatif, scenes of enthusiasm took
place around the building, the National Guard
fraternizing with the troops and people Thou
sands of guards rushed into the hall, but were
persuaded to retire 10y NJ. Gambetta, who
seemed to have great influence over the people.
The crowds outside sang the NarSeillaiSe and
shouted ViUe Republique. There was intense
excitement. and constant noise of voices that
drowned all other sounds.
There was no dangerous elements visible
until the crowd reached the Rue CastigliOne,
where they began tearing down the Imperial
arms and tearing from the flags of the Ma
tiOnal Guard the golden eagles of France, and
from the walls and signs the medals bearing
the Imperial effgy, the soldiers joining in
these demonstrations.
The crowd met squad of police, when they
shouted " ViUe Repu6LQue!" Those of the pO-
lice who did not respond were Immediately
disaTmed by the people and their swords
broken. They were then allowed to 20 un-
harmed.
In one of the streets large crowd, upon the
point of tearing down representation of the
American eagle, ascertained their mistake, and
shouted loudly: give la Republique Ameri-
caine."
Rumors of all kinds are in circulation, and
it is impossible to ascertain their foundation
But one sentiment seems TO be paramount, re-
sistance to invasion. "All the nation now to
the rescue" shout the people, and the troops
ioin enthusiastically. The Gdrde rationale
say order must be preserved The people
evince but little desire to create trouble, and
all seem overjoyed at the vote of dechGdRce.
Some of the shops of the more favored pur-
veyors of the Imperial family are menaced
and will probably be sacked. In all parts of
the city people are ipointing out and taking
down the Imperial arms, fearing an attack of
the mob. In the windows OF shops, where
photographs are displayed, care has been taken
to remove those of the Imperial family, and
all those connected with them.
This morning the Provisional Government
took possession of Office without the slightest
disorder. All the Ministers are acting with
energy. Orders for the immediate formation
of colossal armies have been issued. Over
200 900 men are ready to take the field. The
Government Superintendent of Telegraphs has
announced to all the Departments the events
in Paris. The Senate is suppressed, and the
Corps Legslatf dissolved. An important
fraction of the Chambers have met at Presl-
dent Schneider's residence and seem disposed
to act independently of the Provisional Gov
ernment, to whom, however, they have sent
delegations. Officers and soldiers fraternize
with the people, and place themselves under
the orders of the Government, which is IN per
manent session at the HOtel-de-Nllle, under
the presidency of Gen. Trochu.
The Francs Treurs of Paris guard all the
ministries and public offices, and eyince the
utmost desire to be courteous. 1t Is under
stood that the Government will cOnvOke the
Constituent Assembly.
The Paris journals, without exception, urge
the nation to make an unyielding defense, and
declare the dismemberment of France impos-
sble. The King of Prussia, they say, pro-
claimed that he was warning only against Ma
poleon. If it now becomes evident that he is
warring against the French people, the strug-
gle must be one of determination. The fleet
must be ordered to treat the seaports OF Ger
many as the Prussan armies treat the towns
of Alsace and Lorraine. The enemy must be
made to feel what united Republican France
can accomplish. All men here must bear
arms.
1t is reported that the Empress Eugenie
has resigned the Regency, in obedience to the
will of the people, and fled to Belgium.
