PARIS UNDER DEFEAT.
Tk Frcach Capll ta Peril In Past Times Mi

JPrvm (he Fad ifall Gatetu.
When, in 1813, Faris was declared in a state
of siege, and it became an ascertained fact that
those contemptible allies were actually on the
road towards Paris, an immense thrill went
through the capital, and, say contemporary
writers, it was a touching sight to behold the
patriotism of the masses, old men clamoring
for arms, and middle-aged men flying to the
frontier to help to repel the invaders. His
tory repeats itself, and the same touching ex
hibitiou had been witnessed just about a hun
dred years before, when it seemed likely that
a long era of military glory was going to be
crowned by tbo appearance of M. de Malbrook
and M. 1 Prince Engene within the precincts
of the city gates. On that ocoasion the old
king declared that if the enemy set foot on
French soil he would put himHelf at the
bead of his boUos and go to meet the foe
in person which was a noble speech, and
must have sounded grandly to Mdme. de
Maintenon, but which in sober prose meant
pimply this that if the army were routed
his Majesty would kindly go and add to the
confusion by placing himself where he was
not wanted. However, tUo French are nothing
if not magniloquent; and Louis XIV could no
more have helped delivering a pompous ora
tion than could the withered patriots of
have helped piping shrilly for matchlocks.
And yet it must be confessed that the motives
which made the? e old gentlemen of ISVj pipe
for matchlocks would not, perhaps, have
borne the test of very impartial scrutiny.
Already on the return of his Imperial Ma
jesty from the Russian campaign there had
betn awkwnid signs that the Paris of Janu
ary, IK 13, was not the Paris of January, 1812.
That dignified body, the Senate, had actually
been known to look sulky not defiantly
sulky; that would have been a stroke of in
dependence to which those legislators
were not quite equal; but ominously
sulky, os though snying to their master: "If
yon are Biiccebhful in this next campaign we
may hold out the hope that you will rind ns
down on all-fours as previously, but if yon
fail it will be another story." Among the
people the demonstrations had been even
more significant. At a review of recruits
some workmen of the Faubourg St. Antoine
had cried out to the Empower that they were
williDg enough to lend Lira their arms, but
that they wanted liberty in exchange; and,
while paying a Mt to the flalles, Napoleon
tad been accosted by a fishwornan, who had
Cold t hJiii good-naturedly, but boldly.
. XI -. .. ,
""When ars you going to give us ytt.,
Sire?" a question which evoked a reply
which M. de Las Casss that sublime Jen
kins appears to think triamphaat, for his
Majesty s words were, "Mind your own busi
ness, woman, and let mo do mine." Honest
M. Las Cases! According to him it was no
business of these poor rish-fags what the
conqueror did with their money, their hus
bands, and their sons.
Well, the new army was raised, departed,
and was beaten; and it was then that the
immense thrill took place, that the middle
aged men set off for the frontier, and that
tiie old ones clamored for weapons, as above
stated. It mnst bave been a touching siaht,
but it was not an agrees!?!? orie to the Minis
ters, who know bettor than to dellvei tvTIfi.l to
people who might employ them sturdily
enough against tile enemy, but who might
show an unpleasant disinclination to give
"iiiem tip When once the war was over; for the
fact is, loyalty was unmistakably on the wane.
Leipzig was aS ft wet blanket on the imperial
ism of the Parisians; the defeat at Laon fell
like an extra bucket of water. After Arcis-sur-Aube
people reminded one another that
they bad been opposed to the empire all
along, and that they had always foreseen this
from the first. As for the Ministers, they
were not comfortable. M. Mollieu, Minister
of Finance, looked with an exceedingly dismal
face into the State coffers, and brooded over
a vacuum. M. Champagny, Due de Cadore,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, enjoyed a
sinecure, diplomatic relations with foreign
Sowers being momentarily interrupted; M.
igot de Preameneu, Ministre des Cultes,
who had been wont to make bishops march
to the rightabout or the leftabout as it suited
him, was beginning to find that these holy
men showed him their teeth and treated his
instructions with coolness, not to say with
derision; M. Mole, Minister of Justice, per
ceived a growing reluctance on the part of
the judges to send royalists, and even repub
licans, to prison, and what was a much
graver sign M- le Duo de Rovigo, the suc
cessor of M. Fouche at the Ministry of
Police, no longer tracked out this class of
offenders with the same alacrity as of yore.
In official drawing-rooms it was admitted that
the Emperor had always been rash; in
unofficial drawing-rooms that he had never
been anything but a knave. The frequenters
of cafes wondered how France could
have borne him so cravenly; they
themselves would have revolted long ago had
they found any one to back them. The
loudest in the outcry were of course the
Senators, who felt it quite repugnant to their
consciences to countenance a sovereign who
was losing battles. When the day of disaster
came these Senators, who had licked tke dust
off the Conqueror's boots, and had cringed as
never Senate cringed before, and as only one
Senate has cringed since, were the first to
turn round like the magnanimous quadruped
who kicked the dying lion. It is true and
we may throw them this reason for their ex
case that France was tired out; so tired, in
deed, that when the allied sovereigns rode
into Paris the inhabitants gave them an ova
tion, just as in 1713 the audience at the opera
rose en masse one mgnt to cneer an ingusn
inan Milerd Bolingbroke who had brought
them peace.
For the French are very fond of peace
when they are getting the worst of war.
Compare the demeanor of our friends in Paris
to-day with their entertaining talk a fortnight
ago. What have we done with those invin
cibles of the Cafe du Helder who gave Mdlles.
Lestie and Lais rendezvous at Berlin?
Where have wo put those funny pictures of
Herr von Bismarck being impelled across the
llhine by an avenging foot ? What has be
come of all those gentlemen who, with broad
sheet maps and colored pins, showed us the
precise spot where General von Moltke was
to be discomfited ? Well, they are not re
duced to silence we will do them that jus
tice; for they vociferate louder than ever,
and there is not one of them but is persuaded
that if this and that had not happened, and
this and that blunder had not been commit
ted, and this and that plan had been fol
lowed in preference to this and that other,
the French would have triumphed
tignally. As it is, all is not lost;
everything will be repaired soon, and the
Prussians will never Bet foot in Paris no,
sever! Alphonse and Jules, the workmen;
Achille, the cafe waiter; Hippolyte, the cab
man; Ulysses, the costermonger; and Hector,
the petit-crece, are all sgreed upon this point;
for it is they wlio mean to repel the Prusnians.
WAumi ' Uey bhouv "viiv W
"A la f rentiers ! La patrie eston danger !"
all this in a voice that makes the street lamps
quake and strikes terror into the souls of cab
horses. In vain will you point out to these
really terrifio warriors that they might per
haps help their patrie more by remaining
quiet. "Who talks of quiet, Monsieur, when
the foe is on our soil ? Give us arms, and
lead ns to the enemy." And off they sweep
down the Boulevard Montmartre, past the
Theatre den Varietes, famous as the birth
place of General Bourn.
All these cries, however, are for the publ'to
ear: and if you would judge accurately of the
state of Achille's, Hector's or Alphonse's
son), yon must go seek an interview with
those heroes when they are at home in quiet.
There is no longer uJJc arines ! des armeif"
but (gloomily) t'Oft, cctte fichu e guerre " aud
then, with a significant shake of the fist, pre
cisely the same muttered threat as fifty
seven years ago, when things were beginniug
to go strong, and the invading tide wi
sweeping slowly but surely onwards. Do not
believe that Jules and Hector are in any
haste to be off to the frontier. There is
nothing to tempt them in the account
of the Prussian mitrailleurs, nothing much
to seduce them in the exploits
of the needle-gun. They clamor for arms, it
is true, but they have another enemy in view
besides Herr von Bismarck, and that enemy
knows it. Not in vain is that curious law
being voted which sends all the able-bodied
of twenty-five to thirty-five to the army, and
so empties Paris at one swoop of four-fifths
of its revolutionists. When those are gone
there will be the married men and the men
of forty behind the same men who, in 1813,
clamored for firelocks which were promised
them, and withheld (just i s they will be
again). The same men who, sick of a reign
that gave them neither peace nor liberty, and
culminated in disaster, came to look upon
their enemies as liberators. As we have al
ready said, history repeats itself.
