PARIS, March q, 1871.
Last night made circuit Of the Boulevards and
streets held by the National Guards, but found the
city unusually tranquil after the exciting events OF
the day. All shops were closed; IL was impossible
to enter any care, and even the old American
haunts which usually display light TIL dawn were
nrmly sealed to the thirsty.
AUrrERERs HELD COUNCIL
about the Place de pOpera; some demanding ven.
geance for the blood shed In a street oddly named
the Rue de la Paix ~; others stopping passer
and calling, "Rendezvous at the Grand Hotel with
your gun |" When battalion marched BY the
Place de pOpera there were few cries from men
holder than the rest "a oas le con.tte." but as a
rule timidity reigned beyond discussion. An ex-
pected demonstration by .the Men OF Order' at the
Bourse did not take place.
BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
At halt-past ten p M. went to look after three
American ladies residing In the Rue des Uapucines,
and as l turned the corner In cabrioet the sentl-
nes shouted "Arreiez ~ which the coachman did
not regard, and was saluted with musket ball,
wncn dld no harm other than to cause an imme-
dlate evacuation OF the vicinity. Signal guns were
fired throughout the night and beyond these aud
casual pistol shots there was nothing to alarm
Paris.

On either side the hostile forces are rallying and
