"Writing on September 4, the Paris correspondent
Of the Daily Sewn says : "It Is now possible to (five
a clear account of the revolution which has taken
place la the last thirty hours, as soon as the night
Bitting of Saturday, or rather Sunday morning, was
over, the Ministers went to the Empress anil told
her that they felt themselves la honor bound to
stand by the dynasty, but that they were convinced
that for her and her family all hope was over. The
Empress, however, Intimated that an effort should
be made. General Trochu wa9 consulted, but he
stated that he was responsible for the defense
of l'arts only, and be could do nothing for the
dynasty. It was then decided tint (Jjuut Pallkao
Should propose a Provisional Government, with
himself at Its head, which was to assume power by
a decree of the Empress. In the meantime the De
puties of the I-eft Centre had held a meeting, at
which they agreed to support the proposal of M.
Thiers, which, without saying as much In words,
partially suspended the empire, and gave power to
a Committee of National Defense, In which all par
ties would be represented. General Trochu pro
mised to recommend the Garde Nationale to go down
to the Chamber and to support this combination.
The I-eft, too, held their meeting, and agreed to in
sist upon the ihclwaiu-f, and the nomination of a
lfovlslonal Government of nine, live of whom
Should be deputies of Paris. This is how matters
stood when, at V o'clock, President Schneider an
nounced that the seanceot the Chamber had com
menced. General Pallkao had surrounded the
palace of the Corns Leglslatlf with troops, a body
of Gardes de Paris were guarding all the
approaches across the bridges, about UOOO troops
were In the court-yard of the Tuilerles, some few
regiments had been consigned to their barracks
ready to act, and the rest of the soldiers in Paris
were left to their own inspirations. When the sit
ting commenced, It soon, however, became evident
that the Iilgnt,' composed of oillclal candidates,
were awed, and could not he depended on: the
troops, too, were so thoroughly disgusted with their
Cirsar having surrendered, that they would not act
against the National Uuard. Gradually they fell
back and were replaced by the latter. The three
propositions of Pallkao, Thiers, and Jules Favre
were niadfj then the mob broke Into the Chamber,
which the National Guard did not care to defend.
.Schneider, the Ministers, and the Right fled. Home
few uiemlers of the Left remained; they and the
mob shouted out different lists of names for the
Provisional Government.
"The Deputies of Paris, after a short consultation,
went together, accompanied by the mob, to the
Hotel de Ville. A messenger came there from Gene
ral Trochu to tell the Imperial officials not to resist.
The mob and the Deputies entered without opposi
tion Into the Salle du Trone. and the Provisional
Government was formed. Soon Kochefort was
brought Into the Salle by his admirers, and to con
tent the extreme ultras his name was added to the
list. Count de Keratry Immediately started off for
the Prefecture of Police, after a short parley tur id
out M. Plelrl, and established himself there. W ulle
all this was going on General Trochu, who pos
sessed the entire confidence of the National Guard,
and had them well In hand, occupied all the public
places with them, and as yet has maintained
order. At 9 o'clock the mob broke Into
the Gardens of the TuUerles, the Kinpress
fled, and the Palace was occupied by the
Garde Mobile, This at the present moment
Is the situation a revolutionary Government Is
established at the Hotel de Vllle, General Trochu
who is an ally of Thiers, has Joined them, and keeps
order with the National Guard. All this appears
very ai.archlcal; but it must be remembered that
vestetday there was a universal determination to
inakean end of the impeilal Government, that the
thamber, which ought naturally to have assumed
power, was composed of a majority of Imperialists,
and that anv trovernnient is better than no govern
ment at ail. Under the circumstances ihe Deputies
of Parts and the Governor of Paris were fully justi
fied in assuming the direction of affairs, rower
mil be smd to Ixt enuallv divided, for If the extreme
11' alone Is represented In the Provisional Govern
ment, the entire armed force of the capital Is under
the orders of Trochu, and you may depend upon It
ne wu take care, as long as mm continues, to keep
down anarchy. In the mean time the Prussians
have !een forgotten. Within a few days, however.
they will be before the walls of Paris, aud as every
statesman recogulzea the necessity of treating be-
rore or alter the next battle, the uneamsis and the
Moderates are well contented to leave this task to
the Democrats."
OtTBIDI TAB CHAMBER.
Writing on Sept. 8, the Tint correspondent
says: "As the Chamber was to open at 18 to-day 1
went to the Sot about that hour. I did not try to
get inside, knowing that you would be duly re pre
sealed there, but stopped lu the Place de la Con
corde. A very few minutes sufficed to show me that
a remarkable manifestation on a grand scale was
rapidly preparing. The large open space between
the f uuntaliis and the river was thickly dotted with
motley groups, well-to-do citizens lu broadcloth,
needy cltlxena In blouses, louugers dressed In the
latest fashion, loafers looking very dirty aud
dissipated, and here and there, though very few
and far betweeu, vagaixxids who could only by
courtesy be considered to be dressed at all. Ou
the whole the crowd had a far more dan
gerous look than on the previous
night, but still the rough element was, strange to
say. In a decided minority, possibly In consequence
of the raids which the police have recently been
making upon that nondescript class of vagabouda
who have no regular means of existence, it Is to
these raids that we posaibl. owe lu great measure
the wonderful tranquility of the butt week, and more
especially of the last two days. Ky far the most
striking feature In the crowd, however, was the
overwhelming number of the Garde Nationale.
Many were going about In undress, with nothing
but their caps, aud uot always these, to dlstiuguisa
them; tut toe vast majority were in full uutlorut
and armed, and as batiailou after battalion poured
into the Place de la Concorde, the distant Dash of
their bayonets In the sun telegraphing ittelr
approach long before the men themselves were
distlngu snabi,tue military effect of the scene

drawn un In front of the bridge, lu order to bar the
f assase acioss to the Chamber, aud conspicuous
rom afar, in their broad yellow sashes and whim
facings. Supporting the cavalry to the rear were
some of the Gardes de Paris, and a few sergens-de-vllle,
whose plain civilian costume looked paiofollr
shady by the side of the gorgeous geudarmxa. Aletav
fihor apart, It u scarcely an exaggeration to say that
be Place de la Concorde held for a short time two
hostile forces, between which we spectators had the
pleasure of finding ourselves a pleasure which
iuigtii possiuiy nave become too exciting
lo be tiactiy sgteeawe. The Na
tional Gnard, as a body, sympathised warmly
with 'the people," and made no attempt to conceal
It. I should rather say that they ostentatiously dis
played their sympathy by shaking of hands, waving
of caps, and that strangest of French fashions, Inter
masculine kissing. They had evidently come down
to force their way. If necessary, to the Chamber,
and demand the overthrow nf the government. The
f endarmes, Gardes de Paris, and aergens-de-ville, on
he other hand, are far too oniclous to have much
sympathy with any anti-governmental movement,
and have been too well trained to be ready for anv
such weakness as unauthorized fraternization with
'the people.' When, therefore, the 1st Battalion
of National Guards bore down straight upon them,
and Insisted on crossing the bridge, there was, for
a few moments, Imminent risk of a grave col
lision. As the bayonets ' got too close, and
seemed to wax too persistent, out came, at the
word of command, a sudden flash, the cavalry
sabres, a flash which, from an H'sthetlc point of
view, was admirable, but on the other more personal
grounds was most unpleasantly suggestive of a
cavalry charge to those Immediately in front. There
was the usual stampede on all sides, nowadays so
familiar In Paris, but It proved a false alarm. How
the dispute was fettled, I don't know, but, as a
matter oi lact, tne nayonets goi me iwh ui it, win
ning a bloodless victory, and we hail the pleasure of
seeing our champions pats through the cavalry lino
and across the bridge. The other companies all fol
lowed with more or less difficulty, though in some
of them the men had not arms nor even uniforms.
This naturally led to the admission across the bridge
of slain civilians. The crowd had, therefore, carried
its point, anu fraternization witn tne most violent
'effusion' became tne oraer or tne nay. Kveryootiy
fraternized with everybody. A little displeasure
was caused by the passing of a few of the line armed,
but one of them, with a Frenchman's quick wit, at
once removed It by reversing his rifle, and holding It
with the butt towards the crowd. A round of ap
plause Instantly greeted him. 'Cest maynifinne!'
said an enthusiastic neighbor to me. After that I
felt there was no risk or a collision. Indeed,
from the first the crowd was wonderfully good tem
pered." TUB rOrCLACB IN TFIE HOTEL DE VILLE OP PARIS.
The London Times' correspondent says :
"as I was hurrying off from the Chamber to the
Hotel de Vllle to hear the Republic proclaimed
there, a French gentleman asked me to give him a
seat In my cab, as he could not find his own. He
was, fortunately for me, one of M. Gambetta's
friends, and to show his gratitude for the drive, he
got me admission with M. Gambetta Into the Hotel
de Vllle among the first who entered It. As we
almost burst In through one of the side entrances,
everybody keeping his legs, In the general rush for
ward, with no little difficulty, we suddenly found
ourselves confronted by an officer and a company of
the line. The situation looked decidedly
critical. It was highly probable that
the officer, In the general confusion of the clay, had
no orders to admit M. Gambetta, and had the mili
tary Instinct been very strong In him he certainly
had men and Chassepots enough to make the entry
difficult, to Bay the least. Happily he was a politi
cian as well as a soldier, and he warmly welcomed
the representative of the new Government, who In
return kissed him on both cheeks, and declared him
(as I understood) a soldier of the republic. The offi
cer was kissed by as many as conld at that moment
get at him, and then a rush was made upstairs to

of the audience, but it did not satisfy all. No sooner
had M.Jules Favre left the room than a Garde Na

furiously staooing away at tne noiperor, carefully
selecting the vital parts. Auotner uarue joined
him, and together they contrived, stimulated by the
cries of the crowd below, to destroy the portrait and
frame entirely, throwing down the fragments of
canvas and gilt, for which a scramble, almost fero
cious in its eagerness, went on until not a scrap
was left. A bust of the Empress narrowly escaped a
similar fate, but, thanks to the exertions of a few
sensible anu courageous men, the compromise was

attempted neither to plunder nor destroy. They had
the handsome rooms of the Hotel de Vllle at their
mercy, and It was amusing to see gamins of the
lowest class lounging ostentatiously in the most
luxurious attitudes upon cushions soft enough for
an empress' head. I saw one boy carefully re

from others about the political temper of

have a republic. Perhaps the most marvellous and
one of the finest features In to-day's exhibition was
the absence of despondency. They could scarcely
have been more cheerful and confident If It bad been
Prussia that had just lost a decisive battle, and her
army of 60,000 prisoners. My belief is that they are
prepared to fight, hoping to overwhelm Prussia by
sheer force of numbers, and when one thinks how
Eowerless, In these days of arms of precision, would

discipline and organization of Prussia, one can only
hope that European diplomacy will not look cannly

THE FUNERAL OF THE NAfOLKONfC DYNASTY.
The following details of the Emperor's Journey
through Belgium have appeared in the ileuse, of
ucge:
Yesterday we assisted at the funeral procession of ths
Napoleonic dynasty. While Napoleon III was orossing
HoJgium as prisoner 01 trie fwtngoi frnssia, the Corps
Legulatif declared his rights forfeited. After the disas
ter oi bedan and tne surrender or tne Kmporor, the town
of Cassel, the ancient capital of Klectoral Hesse, situated
in the interior of Prussia, about thirty or forty ltaguos
from Cologne, was designed by King William as the pluoe
of residence of the fallen Emperor. It seems that Napo
leon would nave preierrea a neutral country, and that he
Una expressed ihe Desire to reside lor a time at tiiege.
However, political considerations would not permit the
gratification of this wish. On leaving Sedan, Napoleon's
nrst nan was at tne t-inatean ae mirr, near Bouillon,
the headquarters of Lieutenant-General Ohazal.

An unusual performance came otf at the rehearsal
of the Opera Bouile at the Oram! Opera House ves-
teraay morning, uoionei r isk Bii'ineniy appeared
npon the stage, and approaching Max Maretzek, the
couuueter oi tne orcnestra, caned mm one side,
when the following conversation ensued:
Colonel Fisk. What are you doing here. Didn't I
tell you that you could u t hold your plane here, un
less you attended to your business, and let other
musical-operations aioner

Colonel Fisk. Didn't I tell you four weeks ago that
if yon conducted at the Nllsson concerts, you could
not retain your position nerer

Colonel Kink. Well, you can't have two strings to
your bow, unless you get both of them somewhere

Aiax. x on can me tier
Colonel Fisk. Yes, you are a perfect dead-beat.
and I want you to go out of hero at once.
Max. I will show you dat I have one big right
nere.
No sooner had Maretzek made this last remark
than he began making a series of clawing gestures
at the Colonel's martial countenance. Colonel itsk
looked at him In astonishment, and slowly backed
across tne stage, juareizen touowea up, ana con
tinued his feline gesticulations. The Colonel con
tinued his solemn retrogression until his broad back
came in contact with a piece of scenery,when, seem
ing to discover mat nis assailant meant miscuier,
and that forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, he
dashed the back of his open left hand against Maret
zek s organ of benevolence ; and as poor Max threw
ud both hands to guard his cranium, the Uolonei
dealt him a terrific right-bander in that portion of his
body where Max stores his provender, and sent him
flying, a la spreau eagie, nan way across tne stage.
The Colonel then followed up his blow in a manner
which threatened to be deleterious to the lmpres
sarlo's beauty of countenance ; but bystanders inter
fered, and Max was got out of the way. One of his
eyes seemed inclined to go into mourning over the
occurrence on the spot, and by this time it has
doubtless donned ample habiliments of woe.
Colonel Fisk showed no rattled plumage whatever.
and came orr rrom this, his first encounter with a
foreign foe, without a scratch. Maretzek sunt him
word that he should immediately despatch a second
to him with a challenge.
"if anybody comes to me with any such message,"
said the Colonel, "I'll thrash him. We light no duels
here, but have muscular hospitality In readiness for
anybody who comes to this establishment for hoBUle
nurrjoses."
"1 never saw such a hallucinated ass as Maretzek,"
said colonel Fisk, naif an nrur afterwards, "l ue
fellow actually seemed to think I'd stand still and
let him spoil my pretty race: was tuere ever such a
preposterous notion entertained by a rational being 7
lie had no luea now mucn store i set oy my beauty
of countenance. Poor fellow ! he'll begin to under
stand now that when I say a thing 1 mean It. I shall
have to have him arrested as a public duty. Jle
has treated thelniembersof the company shame'nlly.
I've been inquiring into his condact, and find that
they are thousands t f francs short by reason of bis
extortions when he made tbe engagements with
them. Having closed tne lmpressario s bright eye,
1 now must curb his high career." .V. V. Sun to-iiuy.

of the vessel, Mr. Johannes UoeBing, Consul for the
North German States in this city, visited the United
States District Attorney's oince In Chambers street,
and demanded the seizure of the Lafayette on the
ground that she was to be used to carry a military
expedition against a country at peace with tins
Uovercmeut. It was found that there did
not exist suiilclent legal cause for the
detention of the steamer, and the Qirmaa
Consul then made a complaint against 133 of
her passengers. He charged the latter, on

the steamship after they had been pat ashore.

After the steamer left crowds stood watching her
move slowly down the bay, and then gathered in
knots to discuss the proceedings or the day. While
they were excited and chagrined that the steamer
had carried on" their baggage, they congratulated
themselves and the cause they advocated that tbe
arms on board the steamer were safe and would soon

was their intention to return Saturday night, but,
uwiug w uiu ueavy seas, tney neierminea to
remain till the weather moderated. Colonel
Duiry and his father returned to Providence, Satur
day evening, on the Bay Queen, leaving young
Duffy, with Dunn and ivery, In charge
of the boat. The latter started back the same
evening, and came as far as Warwick Neck, where
they laid over for the night Sunday morning,
being anxious to get back to the city, they unwisely
put oiT In the heavy ga'e that was blowing, and when
off the north end of Patience the boat was filled by
me neavysea anu sanK, leaving me mast anout three
feet above the water. Dutly stripped off his two coats
and started to swim ashore, and advised the others to
follow him. One started with him, but the other clung
to the mast and refused to leave, and the man who
started to swim with him soon turned back, fearing
he could not reacn the snore, and renewed his hold on
tbe mast with his companion. Duffy reached the shore
after swimming neany a mile, completely ex
hausted, and when he was able to look towards the
boat could see nothing of the other men. The only
resident on the island, whoso name we did not learn,
kindly took Mr. Duifyhome and kept him all nlcht.
and furnished him with a coat In the morning. He
came over Monday morning in Captain Lovett's
beat, and landed at Mr. George C. Nightingale's
farmhouse, on Warwick Neck, and came to this city
in a carriage. W hen the Lulu came past the wreck
Monday morning, on her return, the mast was still
out of -water and the sail floating alongside, but
nothing was seen of Dunn or Avery.

was Instantly killed yesterday morning by falling
frem the fourth story of the building, lie was en
gaged In removing a scatrold which bad been used
bv some bricklayers, and in carrying a board to the
opposite side of the building either missed his foot
ing and fell between the Joists or was thrown
down by the tilting of one of the loose boards. He
fell to the cellar beneath, a distance of over seventy
five feet, and in his descent he struck atrainst one
of the Iron joists, which broke his skull and also dis
located his neck. Some of the workmen noticed
the fall, but they were of course powerless to pre
vent It. They hurried down as soon as they could,
and found Dugan lying dead, his bndy horribly man
