From the confused reports Of the Paris
riots we can only give the news 90 II

closely our readers can perhaps form a
very correct idea Of the situation in that
unhappy country. All is now confusion
disorder, cruelty, bloodshed.

al Guards at Paris posted two proclama-
tons on Sunday of last week in which
they claimed to act in defense of the Re.

tranquil.
The placards seized by the Mayors,
whose signatures were appended to their
manifesto of yesterday, informs the citi-

prevent further conflict until the final de-
cision of the Assembly is rendered.
A proclamation, signed Gen. Duval,
and dated simply Paris, demands the
election of a Mayor of Paris and Deputy
Mayors in all the Advertisements. The
proclamation says it is not the intention
of the Nationals to separate Paris from
France, but only from the Empire and
the Government of National Defence and
from their measures of treason and cow
ardice, and concludes with an appeal to
the people to sustain themselves as we
are doing, and follow our example in OPP
posing oppression.

were refusing to allow persons to enter
the Place Vendome, Baron Nathan seized
flag and cxhorted the crowd to advance
against the illegal force occupying the
place. The order was obeyed, when the
Nationals beat their drums and fired in
the air. The crowd retrcating too slowly,
rauks of Nationals filed out from the
main body and fired. There was a ter
rible scene for five minutes and then the
crowd broke into terror stricken retreat.

wounded. Baron Nathan received two
shots in the chest. The Nationals in the
Place Vcndome have since been rein
