NEW YORK, March 21.-Advices from
Paris dated yesterday, report the situa-
ton unchanged. Fresh barricades have
been erected, but there is general quie-
tude. The omnibuses have stopped run
ming and traffic has ceased. The Ma
tionals have occupied forts D'Issy, Vau-
yes and Bicetre. The Police Commits
sioners have been arrested. Gen. Chaus-
sey was so maltreated by the mob that he
has been sent to the hospital. The insur-
gents of the Central Committee, it ap
pears, signed an order for the release of
Chaussey. Cremer is spoken of as the
probable commander of the National
Guards. The insurgents have seized the
funds in the Hotel de Vile and mayoral-
ties. All the approaches to Paris are
guarded by Nationals, for the purpose of
preventing an invasion.
A proclamation has been issued bearing
the signature OF Louis Blanc, Victor
Schalehr and others, which contains the
following statement:
"Actuated by absolute necessity, having
Paris and the Republic, convinced that
the best means for achieving the end
which will satisfy the legitimate wishes
of the French people, we will propose to
the National Assembly measures proVid-
ing for the election by the National Guard
of its own chiefs, and for the creation of
a Municipal Council to be elected by the
suffrage of all citizens. What is most
needed now is order in liberty and by |
liberty"
The Central Committee published Mon
day its official journal headed "Ofi- |
cial Journal, Republican Federation. 1t |
contains the following manifesto: "Origi- |
mating in the suffrages of 215 battalions |
of the National Guard, we repudiste
disturbance. The Government calumni-
ates Paris and arms the provinces. 1t
imposes upon us a commander, attempts
in the night to disarm us, removes the
Capital and UNANIMOUSLY seeks to besmear
our honor with bloody filth. The Ma
tionals have participated in no crime"
The proclamation fixes the elections
for Wednesday. The Journal also an
nounces that the Committee will abdi-
cate power upon the election OF q new
one. The Committee is firm in its de-
cision to respect the preliminaries of
peace for the sake of the Republic. 1t
appeals to the departments, invites quick
adhesion to the cause. The Journal also
contains an exhOrtation to the press to
respect the Republic, justice and truth.
Complete political amnesty is promised.
Courts which have proved partial will be
abolished. The Committee repudiates all
participation in the execution of Lecomte
and Thomas.
The Nationals have entered and sealed
up the offices of the Figaro snd Gaulois.
The Cri du Peuple says Paris must pro-
Claim herself free, autonomous republi-
can city. The Nationals have discovered
fresh stores of arms and ammunition, and
now completely possess the whole city.
