and the pslsce Apparently no one thought
Of going farther, when all of sudden some
individuals grouped around man bearing a
flag made rush at the door leading to the
tribunes and forced it open. Immediately
after the Sale de la Paix was invaded, as well
as the lobbies aud the gardens. A pane of
glass having been by accident broken, NJ
Cremieux put his head through the orifice
and addressed the crowd, exhorting them to be
calm. M. Ferry climbed upon the pedestal
of the LAGOON and harangued the invaders
'I do not, he said, in terminating, task you
to evacuate your present position, but to re-
spect the hall of our sittings, for otherwise
we cannot deliberate freely and without pres
sure" Loud cries of ''Yes yes l"'followed,
and the crowd remained tolerably quiet. The
tribunes of the Chamber having also been
filed by the persons who had forced their
way in, nj. Gambetta went into the hall, then
empty below, and recommended calm, as
suring them that the republic would be voted
in few minutes.
WHILST THIS SCENE
was going on several deputies entered. Great
tumult succeeded, and M. Cremieux assembled
the tribune, but his voice could not be heard
from the noise. M. Gambetta also endea-
vored to make himself heard, but without
success.
The President, who had Just taken his seat,
observed that the resolutions of the House
ought to be taken with calm and dignity.
At this moment the Senators tribune was
invaded.
The President again spoke, and observed
that the deputies were at that moment deli
berating, and would come to decisions in
conformity with the wishes of the nation.
M. Gambetta (addressing the public in the
tribunes) )-Citizens, it is in your power to pre-
sent q great spectacle-that of people uni
ting order and liberty! (Yes, yes.) Well,
then, implore you, let group in each COM
partment undertake to insure order; then
wait in silence. The Left has pledged itself
to the Chamber to cause the freedom of its
deliberations to be respected. (Applause.)
The President (also addressing the tri-
bunes) You have just heard the patriotic
exhortations of M. Gambetta, to which join
my own. At this moment believe me, the
Chamber is called on to deliberate on situa-
tion of extreme gravity in spirit of abso-
lutte devotedness to the country. applause
on some benches, murmurs on Others.
DEPosING AN EMPEROR.
M. Glais- -Bizoin-C Citizens, the deposition
is about to be pronounced by the Chamber;
wait till the committee is ready to propose it.
nj. Girault (du Chor. Citizens, 1 also
make an appeal to your patriotism, also that
the country and the chamber may be united
against the enemy, now approaching. (The
proceedings were interrupted for some mo-
ments in the midst of general agitation.)
M. Gambetta- Citizens, one word more,
1t is necessary that all the deputies in the
bureaux or elsewhere should be present in
| order to have the dethronement voted. Wait
for them in an attitude of moderation and
dignity; they will soon be here. (Applause. }
| Preserve the solemn silence suitable to the
| Inhabitants of this great city, now menaced.
| You will presently hear proclaimed the result
of the deliberations of the Chamber, which
WILL doubtless, be affirmative in the sense
you desire. (Approbation noise outside }
At o'clock the hall was suddenly invaded
at the door opposite the tribune of the
speakers. Several deputies endeavored to
oppose the irruption of the mob, but in vain;
and the Chambers being inundated by them,
cries of "Vige la Repu5Rque!" were heard.
The PRESIDENTIAL deliberation being i'm
possible under these circumstances, declare
the sitting at an end. The President then
put on his hat and left the chair.
NJ. Gambetta and NJ. Glais-B -Bizoin endea-
vored to procure q hearing but in vain.
Some men of the crowd took the Presi-
| dents chair and rang the bell Several others
of his acquain tance assembled the tribune,
and one was thrown from it. A crowd had
by this time filed the semi-circular space
below, and the deputies left the hall, which a
party of National Guards began to clear.
