PARIS AND THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Paris correspondent of the London Times
March 26) writes:-
The Government at Versailles and the Ma.
tional Assembly are snuffed out as far as Paris
is concerned.
Loyalty to the State is the duty of citizens;
but then the State is expected to give them
something in return. They are entitled to pro-
lection for their lives and property. Has the
Government of France given the people of Paris
that?
To be sure. it has been full of good nten-
tions and eloqueDce. 1t has distinguished
itself by an amiable confidence in the firmness
of the people of Paris, and comfort has been
administered to us in the shape of an announce
meDt that the representatives of the nation are
surrounded by 10000 armed men. But all this
time any of us here might have been shot down
in the street by any drunken iusurgent Many
of us have had 10 live in houses which more re-
semble prisons than free babltations aud to
sneak in and out OF them like criminals trying
to conceal themselves rather than citizens ar
Tayed on the side of law aud order. | confess
that l am amazed at the moderation of the
rebels. / think they have borne their honors
meekly. They saw that no effort was made by
our lawful protectors to avenge the massacre in
the Rue de la PaiX on Wednesday, and vet they
have refrained from slaughtering any more
of us. l live in street close to
the committees military headquarters. 1t is
guarded at either end by double posts of Mont
martre and Belleville Nationals. The gate of
ny hotel is kept locked, and the windows of the
lower stories are blinded with iron shutters.
Well, all of us in this street allowed to go in
and out of our domiciles and there has been no
attempt on our lives or properties. Even at the
risk of being dealt with as traitors by the Gov
ernmeDt at Versailles, we are all very respectful
to the armed representatives of the Central Com
mttee Our very existence is in the hands of
those men. The Nationals of Order have COM
pletely deserted us, and, as for our legitimate
rulers, they don't give US the protection of even
a policeman Our position does not differ very
much from that of nearly four-fifths of the
people staying in Paris, because in fourteen at
least out of the twenty ACCOMPLISHMENTS the Cen
trail Committee reigns supreme.
PARIS ELECTION INCIDENT.
From the Debats.'
On Sunday last several electors, upon pre-
senting themselves at the Palais de fInshtut,
in order to record their votes, found that the
President of the Section was in q state of help
less intoXication. One of the electors remarked
that such important functions as those of the
President ought to be placed in better hands -
whereupon one OF the assessors took the place
of the President; but the detachment of Ma
tional Guards resented this, and violent dis
pute ensned. The electors then insisted upon
seeing the sergeant on guard but they found
that functionary lying stupidity drunk upon a
mattress requisitioned from the porter of the
institute

THE IDEAS THAT ARE FLOATING THROUGH TAE
HEADS OF THE NEW RULERS.
In an article signed by NJ. Jules Precy which
appeared in the Ltberte ~ of the 9th, 1t il
stated that The working engineer Asst, one o
the leaders of the present movement, man o

energetic, once avowed in our presence hat b,

d'ItdIte, the magnificent and prophetic work o
M. Edgar Quinet which he was unable fully t.
master by reason of his imperfect knowledge
but that his imagination was deeply impressed
by it. Without comprehending that the strug
giles of the medieval cities against the Pope ant
the Emperor might, if better understood, b.
seen to lead to autonomy to federation, and th'
reconsttution of Italian nationality, the feveret
mind of Assl could receive but one idea-to re

Should the National Assembly refuse to Civ,
its sanction to tie charter of the Commun
