The catalogue of disaster1 wlii b lure be come known since our last publication is uluost incredible. We shall endeavor to give tin account of them in the order of their be coming known. The Legislative Body met on Saturday, M. Schneider in the chair. Con aiderable agitation prevailed, and the news of the war was spoken of a1) altogether disai trous. TLo tribunes were crowded, and evi dently some important incident wan expected. At ;Vti 0 General de Fnlikao, Minister of War, -entered, and, after a short pause, addressed the Chamber in the following terms: Gentlemen: I have already said that I would in every circumstance always tell you the truth, however sad it might be for us. I now come to-day to fulfil my promise. My first news is that Marshal Bazaine, after a vigorous sortie and a combat of eight hours, being overwhelmed by numbers, was forced to fall back under Metz, bo that his jnnolion with MacMahon is for the present prevented. On the other hand, the intelligence which we have received from Marshal MacMahon shows that at first he overthrew the Prussian army, but on the following day, after a combat of several hours' duration, he was obliged to retire on Sedan and Mezieres; some of our soldiers were even forced on the Belgian ter ritory. As to the rumor of MacMahon being wounded I cannot say anything, in the absence cf official documents, and the assertion may prove untrue. Homage is unanimously paid to the heroism of the French soldiers. The situation is grave, and we have decided to call out the whole living forces of the nation. Already, in the prevision of adverse ciroum btances, our grand anxiety was to organize the men who had already Berved, but, unfortu nately, they were not in sufficient numbers; we therefore rapidly prepared the Garde Mo bile, who, to the number of 200,000 men, will co-operate in the defense of the capital. The other military forces are being actively got ready, and we will fight with firmness until the enemy be driven from the Boil. (Loud marks of assent.) The honorable Minister left the tribune in the midst of general agitation. When some thing like calm was restored M. Iiaentjens proposed that the House should resolve itself into a secret committee. (Loud opposition on the Left.) General de Falikao saw no reason for any such course. M. Jules Favre declared that every member present must de sire to aid in taking all possible steps for the defense of the country, and the first point of importance was to make the situation exactly known. Nothing could be more heroic than Marshal Bazaino's conduct, but he could not act properly because he was trammelled. (No, no.) Was it not true that the Ministers at present received the orders of the Emperor. General de Falikao replied, "No." M. Jules Favre then observed that in that cae the Government ceased de facto to exist. (Dissent.) He would now propose to place all authority in the hands of Gene ral Trochu. General de Palikao protested against such a proceeding, and as no one reconded the motion the incident terminated. M. Argence presented a bill to call into active service all citizens, married or not, front twenty to thirty-five years of age; and, in addition, all former officers, sub-officers, and privates to the age of sixty. Urgency was declared, and a report was ordered with out delay. The proceedings then terminated at about ! o'clock. At 10 at night a proclamation was issued to the people. It has already been published. THE EFFECT PBODUCED by this proclamation is more easily to be ima gined than described. Up to 3 o'clock in the morning small groups might be seen collooted in the more deserted streets engaged in serious conversation, whilst on the boulevards And in the environs of the Legislative Body the affluence of anxious inquirers was im mense. As a midnight sitting of the Depu ties had been previously arranged, vast crowds assembled near the Place de la Concorde to learn the result of their deliberation. Some disorders followed in the general desire to know the result of the sitting, and several arrests w ere made. The building was guarded by strong detachments of the line, National Guards, Garde de Paris, and the Municipal Guards. The Legislative Body on Saturday evening was convoked by M. Schneider, the President, to assemble at midnight. 'The sitting did not, however, commence until a little after 1 o'elock in the morning. The public tribunes were crowded, as no cards of entrance had been required. On the seats appropriated to the Ministers were to be seen Count de Palikao, Admiral Higault de Genoa illy, and MM. Chevreau, Busson-Billault, Clement Dnvernois, and Brame. The President rose in the midst of the deepest silence and said: Gentlemen, ad verse intelligence was announoed to me in the course of the evening, and I had conse quently a duty to perform towards the Cham ber and towards the nation namely, to at once convoke the Assembly, in which course I have conformed to Jthe wishes of a great number of Deputies belonging to all shades of opinion. The only responsibility that I would not have accepted is that resulting from any delay in calling you together. Count de Palikao, Minister of War Gen tlemen: I have the painful mission to an nounce to vou what mv words of this morn ins might have foreshadowed, but what I still hoped was only doubtful news; but unfortu nately, However, it is now omciai. xne army, After heroic en oris, was driven into Sedan and surrounded by such a superior force that resistance was impossible. The troops capi tulated, and the Emperor was made prisoner. Such is the sad intelligence I have to give yon. In the face of suoh grave events, we Ministers cannot possibly enter at the pre sent moment on a discussion relative to the serious consequences which must ensue. We, therefore, demand the postponement of the debate until to-morrow, i on will easily an derstand that we have not eeen able to con fer together, as I had to leave my bed on the announcement oi a meeting of the Cham ter to-night. . The President The Chamber has heard the Minister of War's proposition. The gravity of an exceptional crisis in which afflictions of every kind accumulate, and the important duties which the Chamber has to perform, added to the immense responsibility of its situation, evidently require well weighed deliberations. In this state of affairs it behooves honorable Deputies, in their wisdom, to consider whether or not they ought not to postpone the debate until to morrow. Numerous Voices Yes ! yes ! The President I proceed to consult the Chamber. M. GamLetta O. nardon. Monsieur . The President I do not ask for any vote, bat merely to inquire whether the best plan may not be to postpone the deliberation, as asked for. so that several of our collegaues were not aware of the night sitting. , Numerous Voices To-morrow 1 to-morrow t jrLES favri's raorosmoN. ; M. Jules Favre I ask to submit a proposL lion. If you think that, in the present grave and painful situation, sufficiently indicated by the honorable Minister's communication, it would be wise to postpone the discussion nntil noon, I have no objection; but as the debate will be engaged on the resolution to be taken in the absence of all the powers, we ask permission to present a proposition which I shall have the honor of reading without for the moment adding any observation. We ark the Chamber to be pleased to take into consideration the following motion: Article 1. Louis Napoloon Bonaparte ami his rivtinsty are declared to be deprived of tlie pewcra conferred on them by the conntitution. Articles. The corps l,eglslatif shall nominate a government commission composed of (yon will fix the number of members you may think fit) who shall tie Invested with full powers to carry on the government, and whose express mis sion shall be to resist the invasion to the very last, and to drive the enemy from tho terrltorv. Articles. Oenerat Troehn Is maintained In his office of Governor-General of the city of 1'aris. Signed: Jules Favre, Crcnilcux, Barthelemy Saint Hilalre, Desseaux, Oarnler-Paires, l.arrieu, Hagneur, Steenacker, Magnin, Doraln, Ordinaire, Kmmanuel Aragn, Jules Simon, Eugene I'elletaa, Wilson, Ernest Plr.ard, Gambetta, Count de Keratry, Onyot-Montpayronx, Tachard, Le Cesne, Uampmt, Olrault, Marion, Leopold Javel, Jules Ferry, Paul Batbmont. I do not add a word. I submit this nroDO- sition, gentlemen, to your wise meditation, and to-morrow, or rather to-day (Sunday), at noon, we shall have the honor of declaring v, ; . : 1 1 i . . iuiJoiaiive feauuus wuicu, we l ill utt, must compel every good patriot to adopt it. (Various movements.) M. Fmard fduNord) We mav take provi sional measures, but we cannot pronounce the deposition of the dynasty. Tne President The Chamber. I repeat. has now to decide whether, under . present circumstances, it will deliberate immediately, or ii, alter tne declaration made by the Min ister of war, it may adjourn until noon to morrow. The Marquis de Pire Not to-morrow, but to-day (Sunday) at noon, for it is now raid- night past. The President Yes, to-day at noon. As there is nothing else on the order of the day. I declare tho sitting at an end. The Deputies then withdrew at 102. ANOTHEB SITTING of the Legislative Body also took place yes terday. Twelve o'clock had been appointed for commencing, but nothing had been done at l; troops were stationed in front of the building. The National Guard had been refused the right side, which it considered its due. Violent marks of discontent were the consequences on the part of one battalion, which threatened to)withdraw,and even began to do bo. But cries arose on all sides of "The Nal ional Guard forever! " The battalion then returned and took up the station it desired on the Place de la Conoorde. The Garde de Paris, which was drawn up in front of the railings ol tne l'alaia Bourbon, was called off, bo that the civio guard was left master of the place. The crowd of the general publio all around was immense, but with the excep tion of frequent cries of "Vive la Reoub- lique!" no political manifestation was made. Tne sitting opened at 120 o clock, M. Schneider presiding, -The Left appeared highly excited. When the minutes of the preceding sitting had been read, M. ulais-liizoin requested his name to be added to M. Jules Favre's motion. MM. de Jouvencel and Raspail made the same request, and added in almost similar words that they considered the dethronement of the Emperor to be now the only resource remaining to France. Count de Keratry claimed for the National Guard the exclusive right of protecting the palace of the Legislative Body, and asked if tne Minister or War bad given orders con trary to those of General Trochu. General de Palikao declared that there was a distinction between his powers and those of General Trochu. The troops? not engaged in tho defense of Paris were at the disposal of tne Minister of War, and not of the gov ernor of the capital. M. Jules Favre And the National Guard? General de Palikao The maintenance of order in Paris is confided to General Troohu and to the commander of the place. I have only provided troops to secure liberty for your deliberations, what do you complain of? Is it that I put too easy a game into your bands? (Violent murmurs.) The army surely is a national force as well as the National Guard. (Noise.) M. Picard Our qaestors alone should com mand here. THE MINISTERS' PROPOSAL. General de Palikao The Council of Minis ters has considered it necessary to introduce certain modifications into the conditions of the government, and therefore propose to you the following bill: Article 1. A Council of National Defense Is con stituted, composed of five members named by the majority oi uie iiegismuve iuuy. Attlcle 2. The nomination of the Ministers is coun tersigned by the members of the Council. Article 3. General Count de Falikao is named Lleutenant-Ueneru of the Council. A voice on the Left Urgency was de manded. What does that mean? (Laughter and noise. ) M. Jules Favre begged to point out to the Chamber the state of things to which the Government bill would give rise. Jf the Chamber adopted urgency for the measure, be must claim it for his, and for two reasons: first, because he had presented it first; and secondly because it conferred lai ger powers on the Chamber than that of the Govern ment. THIERS. M. Thiers All my personal preference is in favor of M. Jules Favre's bill: bat as I place the good of the country above my per sonal impressions, J. bave submitted the fol lowing project to several members belonging to all parts or tne unamber: In consequence of the vacancy of the throne a commission of five members, named by the Legisla tive uoay.is entrusted wita tue uovernment and tne national defense. A Constituent Assembly shall be convoked as soon as circa instances will permit. The honorable gentleman-then read the names of the Deputies who had signed that proposition, to show that they belonged to all shades of opinion. The President considered it his duty to consult the Chamber as to the question of nroencv for these three propositions. M. Uambetta was oi opinion mat tne Cham ber should declare the urgency on all three at once. rEGEKCT was accordingly pronounced, and the three motions were referred to the bureaux for im mediate examination. The Deputies then withdrew, and tne moment after a great tu mult was heard outside. The National Guard opened the iron gates of the Corps Legislatif , and an enormous crowd, rushing forward, gained the steps wnicu separate tne palace from the quay. ON THE PEDESTAL OF THE LAOOOON. In a few seoonda between 4000 and 5000 and tbe p&lace Apparently no one thought of going farther, wben all of a Bud len some individual grouped around a man bearing a flag made a rush at tbe door leading to the tribunts and forced it open. Immediately after tbe Salle de la Faix was invaded, as well as the lobbies and tbe gardens. A pane of glass having been by accident broken, M. Crcmieux pnt bis head through the orifloe and addressed tbe crowd, exhorting them to be calm. M. Ferry climbed upon the pedestal of the Laocoon aod harangued the invaders. "I do not," he sai in terminating, "ask you to evacuate your present position, but to re spect tbe hall of our sittings, for otherwise we cannot deliberate freely and without pres sure." Loud cries of "Yes ! yes! "'followed, nnd the crowd remained tolerably quiet. The tribunes of the Chamber having also been filled by the persons who had forced their way in, M. Gambetta went into the hall, then empty below, and recommended calm, as suring them that the republic would be voted in a few minutes. WHILST THIS SCENE was going on several deputies entered. Great tumult succeeded, and M. Gremieux ascended the tribune, but his voice could not be heard from the noise. M. Gambetta also endea vored to make himself heard, bat without success. The President, who had just taken his seat, observed that the resolutions of the House ought to be taken with calm and dignity. At this moment the Senators' tribune was invaded. The President again spoke, and observed that the deputies were at that moment deli berating, and would come to decisions in conformity with the wishes of the nation. M. Gambetta (addressing the publio in the tribunes) Citizens, it is in your power to pre sent a great spectacle that of a people uni ting order and liberty ! (Yes, yes. ) Well, then, I implore you, let a group in each com partment undertake to insure order; then wait in Bilence. The Left h is pledged itself to the Chamber to cause the freedom of its deliberations to be respected. (Applause.) Tbe President (also addressing the tri bunes) You have just heard the patriotic exhortations of M. Gambetta, to which I join my own. At this moment, believe me, the Chamber is called on to deliberate on a situa tion of extreme gravity in a spirit of abso lute devotedness to the country. (Applause on some benches, murmurs on others. ) DEPOSING AN EMPEROR. M. Glais-Bizoin Citizens, the deposition is about to be pronounced by the Chamber; wait till the committee is ready to propose it. JV1. Girault (du Chor.) Citizens, I also make an appeal to your patriotism, also that the country and the chamber may be united buuiuhi me enemy, now approacmnR. i ine proceedings were interrupted for some mo ments in tbe midst of general agitation. ) M. (iambetta Citizens, one word more. It is necessaiy that all the deputies in the bureaux or elsewhere should be present ia order to have the dethronement voted. Wait for tbem in an attitude of moderation and dignity; they will soon be here. (Applause.) Preserve tbe solemn silence suitable to the inhabitants of this great city, now menaced. You will presently hear proclaimed the result of the deliberations of the Chamber, which will, doubtless, be affirmative in the sense you desire. (Approbation; noise outside.) At 3 o deck the ball was suddenly invaded at tbe door opposite the tribune of the speakers. Severe! deputies endeavored to oppose the irruption of the mob, but in vain: and the Chambers being inundated by them, cries of " Vive la icepuouquef were heard. Tbe President All deliberation being im possible nnder these circumstances, I declare tbe sitting at an end. The President then put on bis bat and left tbe chair. M. Uambetta and JSl. Ulais-Bizoin endea vored to procure a hearing, but in vain. (some men of tbe crowd took the Presi dent's chair and rang the ball. KevAral others of his acquaintance ascended the tribune, and one was thrown from it. A crowd had by this time filled the semi-circular space below, and the deputies left tbe ball, which a party of National Guards began to clear. . The crowds on tbe quays tben began to leave with cries of " Vice la Jtepublifjue" and the proceedings of the Chambers were brought to a close. WHEN THE BITTING OF THE CHAMBER had terminated, the stream of human beings went along the line de luvoli and the ltue de la Paix, from the bridge, whilst another pro ceeded in a contrary way, both with cries of "Vive la Itepubligue'" "Vive la France" and occasionally cheering each otber. Tbe National Guards marched along with their muskets reversed in sign of good will, and the 23d of tbe line, wbiob happened t !roceed along the Boulevards and the Hue da faubourg St. Honore in heavy marching order, advanced through two dense Hues of people, who cheered them loudly as they passed. Many of those soldiers also had the crosse en air. The afternoon and evening passed with similar marks or paoino inten tions, and no disturbance took place any where.
