Deputies of the Left, after the with
drawal of their colleagues, have by q
majority proclaimed the decree OF De
cheance. Soon afterwards a Republic
was proclaimed from the Hotel de Vile.
The revolution which has just taken
place has been a pacific one. 1t was
understood that no French blood should
flow except on the battle field. II has
for its object, as in 1872, the repression
of a foreign foe. 1t behooves, there
| fore, the inhabitants OF Paris, by
their selfpossession and the manliness
of their attitude, to continue to
show themselves equal to the task,
that they and the nation have under
taken. For this reason, invested by the
Government with the powers that have
been so much abused under previous
regimes, invite the inhabitants Of
Paris to the exercise of those political
rights which they have just re conquer
ed to the fullest extent possible, consis-
tent with wisdom and moderation, and
to show France and the world that We
are indeed worthy of liberty. Our duty
in the Circumstances in which we have
been placed is, above all, to remember
that the country is danger, and that
France under the auspices Of 'Repub-
lican liberty, prepares to vanqTl-h or
die | am certain that our powers will
only be used to defend you from the
blows of those who seek to betray the
country. [Signed KERATRY.
PARIS, Sept. 6.-The International
Workingmen's Association has issued
the following manifesto addressed to
the German Socialist Democracy:
Brothers, the Prussian government
at the brink of the campaign declared
that it waged war against the Emperor
and not against the people OF France.
Republican France invites Germany, in
the name of justice to withdraw her
armies from France; if not France
must fight TO the last man and shed
their blood and ours. AS soon as the
Rhine is re-crossed we shall stretch
forth our hands to you and forget our
mutual crimes which despots made us
commit. We repeat as in 1893, that
the French people can conclude no
peace with an enemy occupying French
territory. Let us proclaim liberty,
equality and fraternity Of the people.
Let us form an United States Of Europe.
Long live the universal Republic
