nevertheless easy to perceive that the denomination
did not secure the sympathy OF the people. In fact
many of the groups assembled the Place and IN the
streets adjacent protested loudly against IT, rs calculated
70 compromise the success of the measures for the ma

passed through the crowd acclaimed on every

Paris of al attempt to the Government. Within
couple of hours, battalion after battalion of the Guard
made their way the Place de Hoel de Vile, from all
parts the city The promoters of the opposition de
monstraton, finding themselves outuumbered and their
object defeated gradually withdrew or mingled with the
crowd and the members of the Government then at the
Hotel de vle responding to the call OF the Guard now
occupying the entire Place, came out and reviewed II.
amid shouts of "vive la Repuique viye lie GOyverne
ment! Ne COmmune!" After the review the officers
grouped themselves around the members OF the Govern
rnent and NJ Jules Favre addressed them as follows:
