grave news w:s communicated 10 us during the
evening, and as President of the House, had
a double duty to perform towards it and the
na;ion. For the rest, by urgent dem and on
the part OF great numbers of my collie agues.
you have been called together in extraordinary
session. j allow, therefore, the floor to the
Minister Of War, that he may finish the state
ment which he commenced during this morn

Count PaIkao said 60 have the painful
mission to inform you what my words before
must have foreshadowed. The news. which
was only semi OF cial, has become official
After heroic eilerts the army has been rolled
back into Sedan, and been encompacsed there
by such superior forces that 1t has been obliged
to capitulate. The Emperor has been made
prisoner. In view OF this news 1t will be impos-

corasquences which these events may involve,
when L have been forced to leave my bed to
attend this sitting, and my colleagues have had
no opportunity to deliberate"

lieve 1t to be our duty to seize the occasion to
lay before the House proposition which the
existing situation demands. We will not aid
one word to the text which we now lay before
you. We move that the Chamber adopt the fol-
lowing resolutiors:-' That Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte and his dynssty be declared to have
forfeited the powers which the nation conferred
upon them. That there shall be Chosen an ex-
ecutive committee, composed OF members the
number Of which shall be fixed by the Cham
ber, which shall be invested with all powers
necessary to repel invasion and drive the enemy
from the soil. That General Troehu, governor
Of Peris, be charged exclusively with the de-
fence of the capital"
