is manifest among the deputies now here
to accomplish two things, viz: the over
throw of the future seat of government

be no longer at the mercy Of the mob of
the capital. Personal conversation with
members induces the belief that a tenn
perate provisional government will first
be formed. Theirs, Grevy, Trochu, Dele

zens through the provinces, and it is be.
lieved that the duty of deciding the even

tributed but distress and mortality are
disappearing.
