ENDANGERED BY IFS OWN TImDIrY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THB TRIBUNBJ
LONDON, oct. 16, 1870.
An occasional correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at
Paris writes on the 18th: 1.-THE manifestations
against the Government on Saturday included less
than 800 armed men. 1t is officially stated that the
report that the National Guards spontaneously op-
posed the Government, is incorrect. Orders were
sent by the Commandant to bring the battalions;
these orders were in some cases dsobeyed, one COM
mander replying that his men were equally divided
on the election question half would support the
demand of Flourens that the elections should DO
held. Thousands Of National Guards are ignorant
why they were called out.
1.-The Red Republicans accept the Governments
decision against election only because they dread
divisions in presence Of the enemy. The military
display against citizens is regarded as great mis-
take. There is fear that the Government is already
implicated in a continuous reactionary The
Red Republicans will not agtating this ques-
ton in their three papers and at their clubs The
Government does not attempt suppression of either
the clubs or papers, though public opinion is de-
cidedly against their continuance Tamissier insists
that Flourens shall not again command the united
battalions at BellevIlle.
"The real danger now is not from the Red Repub-
licans but from Government resting too much on
the Moderatcs,' the Orleanists, and other timid
parties. No dependence is to be placed on reports
about new artillery; the Government gives no in
formation about it. The Debats Temps, and ConSti-
ttionue are pressing this question: but get no an
swer. Government creates general alarm by its evi-
INIT
otherwise shows revolutionary energy enough
finally staying the collection of October rents, TAX
ing possession of the market &C. Ii the siege lasts
a month longer Government will be the only dealer
in all articles except food. Its popularity is evil
IDENTIFY diminishing mistrust is spreading. Not one
cheer followed Gambetta as he was ascending in the
balloon"
