PARIS, August 1.-THE entrance
to the Corps Legislatif is closely
guarded, and even members with diff
fculty made their way in. It is diff
cult to say why such precautions are
taken, unless it is intended to prevent
invasions of the Chambers. Never
theless crowds gathered daily, and
the troops charge them. False alarms
continually arise.
The excitement against the En-
peror and the old administration in
creases daily. Never was there such
q breakdown Of Departments and
Ministers, which are 10 utter con-
fusion.
The new Cabinet has everything to
reorganize. The deIiberation on the

the next morning. There were nine
teen reflections before the list was
finally completed.

is exasperated at the bad faith of the
Government, which had promised to
give all the news. While McMahon

LONDON, August 12-One of the
two correspondents who left London
on Monday to replace two others who |
had been arrested sends from Chalons, |
an account of the disor- |

army. He says:
"As we entered Chalons It was dark |
