Proclamation of the Paris National Guard.
PARIS, March 19, via London, March 20.-The
Nationals have placarded two proclamations.
The first issued says the French people awaited
calmly until an attempt was made to touch the
life of the republic. The army did not raise its
hands against the arch of liberties of the repub-
lic-the only government that can close the era
of invasions and civil war. The people of Paris
are convoked for communal elections. The pro-
clamation is signed by the Central Committee
of the National Guard, and dated at the Hotel
de Vile.
The Second Proclamation
is as foows:-
'sTo the People of Paris:-You have entrusted
us with the defense of the rights of Paris. We
have driven out the Government which be-
trayed u.s. our mission is fulfilled, and we now
report to you. Prepare for the communal cleo
tions. Give us as your only recompense the
establishment of real republic"
The same signatures, thirty in number, are
appended.
Appeal of the Regular Government.
The Official Journal contains the following:-
"a proclamation from committee assuming
the name of the Central Committee has been
distributed throughout Paris. The men of the
barricades have takenapossession of the Ministry
of Justice and assassinated Generals Clement
Thomas and Lecomte. Who the members of
the committee are is unknown, as also what
they deliver Paris from. The crimes committed
by them remove all excuse for support by their
followers. Let all who have regard for the
honor and interest of France separate from
them, and rally around the republic and AS
sembly.
