THE NEW PARls GOVERNMENT.
PARIS, Sept. 81, via LONDON, pa ca
bic special to the Sun SAYS:
Il is impossible to separate now the POlit-
iCz,l from the military question, for under
standing one you must understand the other.
There are two different powers in Paris, one
of6cial-the Provisional Government, which
s.itisfies nobody, but is accepted and tolerated
by everybody; the second is Republican
Committee, composed of two delegates from
each reimbursement, or eighty delegates ia
all. These four delegates are selected from
the twenty-five delegates elected by the peo-
pie in every reimbursement They are in
constant communication with the population
during the day, through the twenty-five del
cgltes remaining in the ACCOMPLISHMENTS, and
at night by public meeting. A special COM
mittee of five remain in permanent session,
day and night. At the sitting of the As
scmbly, these eighty delegates constitute the
commune of Paris. The internal associa-
ton Of wOrkingmen has been the
cradle of that powerful organization,
which is questionable to Bourgeois and 4
source of fear to the Government, but has
deepest root in the heads of the people.
They sent, yesterday, a message to the Gov
crnment asking Immediate measures: first.
to transfer the police from the central Gov
ernment to the municipalities; the election
of the magiSncy; the abrogation Of every
law or decree interfering with the absolute
freedom Of speech, press, meeting or associa-
ton; second, the appropriation Of the neces-
saries of life wherever to be found; third, the
immediate appropriation of all the
empty apartments or public buildings
for the accommodation of the defenders Of
the city; fourth, levy en- masse of all French
men without exception; fifth, immediate de-
sps,tch of general commissioners to the de
partments to raise the population and send
them to the defence Of Paris. The
government yesterday refused to
Weld to these demands To-day a
delegation of 10 members, comprising
the eighty members of the Central committee,
will again present them and if the Govern
uent persists in its refusal, the people them
selves will come peacefully, but en- masse.
Tonight, at Lyons, the workmen have con-
stifuted an Independent government for the
defence of France. As am going there ]
will be able to tell you more in a couple of
DAYS. The first success of the Prusians will
overthrow the Provisional a. Sedan over
threw the Imperial Government. These
people will certainly take better care Of
themselves than their masters have.
