and they declared they would
resist the entry with rifed cannon. Two
Prussian officers, detected in the city in
plain clothes, barely escaped with their
lives.
Another dispatch, dated Paris, February
p, afternoon, states that the National Guard
concentrated in force at the Hotel de Ville,-
the Tuileries and the Ecole Militaire.
They have asked to be marched to other
quarters and deposit their arms.
Prussian soldiers may visit the Louvre
inasmuch as they can enter from the Tuil-
cries, as not to be seen by the people.
There is certainly an insufficient number Of
French troops to suppress rising outside
the line OF demarkation.
A dispatch, dated the twenty y-eighth,-
states that government has issued a pr0ela-
nation, declaring that the rioters of Sunday
will be promptly punished. This prompt
action was effective, causing q subsidence
