| THE SANS COULOTTEs LET LOOSE
! THROUGH PARIs-FEARFULs SCENES.
Special to the New York WorIdl
/ PARIS, February q. - Terrible
scenes are now being enacted. Vast
i crowds FL the streets, committing
/ many acts Of violence. The people
/ made an attack on some police with
/ the intent to murder them. One was
/ beaten to death, another hanged and
| two drowned. Crowds surround the
! statue StrasbOurg, which an orator
/ proposes to remove, lest it be de-
strOyed by the German savRges. The
/ excitement is on the increase, and the
National Guard of Belleville and
| MOntmartre have resolved to remain
under arms. The regiments of the line
have been hOOted and pelted by the
pOpulace. A great body Of National
I Guards, fully armed, marched to the
/ Champs Ely5sees, where they are
now camped, swearing to attack the
Germans. The heads of Thiers and
Favre are demanded. The gardens Of
the Tuileries are occupied by the in
fantry line. Accounts from Belleville
aud MOntmartre represent horrible
scenes occurring at those stations.
THE PROS AND CONS OF THE ENTRY
OBJ THE GERMANS TO PARIS.
PARIS, February 28.-An official
notice, signed by Picard, confirms
the signature and preliminaries of
peace, and announces that the armis- |
tice is prolonged four days. COntri- !
buttons and acquisitions in case Of an
entrance of the Germans into Paris |
was the price paid TO save BelfOrt. |
PaOnier Quentin has been appoint /
ed Minister Of Finance.
1t is said that AvereIles has been |
named commander Of the National /
Guard Of the Seine.
The Germans viii enter Paris on /
Wednesday, and viii evacuate the /
city Immediately upon the ratification |
Of peace. The Consultative Commits /
sion goes to Bordeaux on Tuesday, to /
debate upon the question Of ratifiCa- /
ton. The treaty Of peace will COM
mence Immediately. The Partisan /
army will occupy the left banks of the /
Seine. No E'renChmen in uniform
are to be allowed to enter the German
portion Of the city, which viii be sur
rounded by barricades. There was
much patriotic agitation on Sunday
night, IN consequence of a report of |
the immediate entry of the Germans,
and the guards erected a rampant In
the Champs Elyssees to repeI the enc
my. There was, however, no dis
turbance, and at midnight quiet was
restored. On Monday morning
crowds surrounded a notice, signed
by Picard, and which had been pla-
carded in various parts of the city,
appealing for the preservation of or
der and dignity. The crowd also
invaded the prison of st. Pley, and
freed two commandants of the Guards
who had been placed under arrest.
All papers recommend uOn-resist-
ance TO the entry Of the Germans;
all papers will abstain from publica-
ton during the occupation. It is be-
Heved there will be a conflict.
La BGtTje says the question of entry
of the German army into Paris Oceu-
pied negotiations ten times longer
than these territorial cessions of in
demnity. Many citizens have pur-
chased a weeks provisions to avoid
appearing in the streets during the
German occupation. The policeman
drowned in the Seine by an enraged |
crowd on Sunday, proves to have
been an emplOye under the NapO-
leOnic Prefect, Peetre, and was muir
dered in consequence of his acts
while in that capacity. The Paris
ians believe the Germans entry into
the city to be the intention of pro-
vOking a conflict, which will give
color to more eXactiOns.
VERSAILLES, February 28.-Every-
thing has been prepared for the entry
of the Germans into Paris the issue
of the final orders however, have been
reserved until tomorrow. The agi-
tatiOn In Paris continued throughout |
yesterday, but no disturbances Oc-
CURED.
A manifesto, signed by the editors
of ffOrty-three newspapers, eXhOrts the
people to calmness and dignity under
the approaching trial.
The BOurse and theaters will be
closed during the occupation of the
city. The German troops will be
strictly confined to their quarters
while in Paris.
The powder magazine at Nillette
has been pillaged by the soldiers.
