Panis, Sept. 5.—The rollowing is asketch ot the proceedings in the Corps Legisiatif Satur- day night and Sunday morning, previous to the closing session already reported:— ‘The Corps Legislatif, which had only taken a recess, reessembled at half-prst one o’c'cc\ Sunday morning, after an exciting session in the evening, at which the Minister ot War had explained the situaiion. President Schneider said:—“ Pain‘ul and grave news wrs communicated to us dering the evening, and, as President of the Mouse, bad a double duty to perform towards it and the nai‘on. For the rest, by au urgent demand on the part of great numbers of my colleagues, you have been called together in extraordivary session. I allow, therefore, the floor to the Mimseter of War, that he may finish the state- ment which he commenced during this morn ing’s ¢--sion.” Count Palikao said:—“ I have the painful mission to inform you what my words before must have foreshadowed. The news, which was only semi-official, has become official After heroie efforts the army hes been rolled back into Sedan, and been encomparsed there by such superior forces that it hes been obliged to capitulate. The Emperor bas been made prisoner. In view of this news it will be impos- sible to enter upon a serious discussion of the cor:cquences whith these events may involve, when I have been forced to leave my bed to attend this sitting, and my colleagues have had no opportunity to deliberate.” President Schneider proposed adjourning until to-day at noon. He said the situation imposed on him great deties, and be would fill them; but the Ministry, not having yet been able to delib- erate, and eack one needing time to think over carefully the grave resolutions which the occa- sion required, he thought it would be wise to adjourn. Jules Favre said: ‘If the Chamber 5s of opin- ion that in the grievous and grave situation de- seribed by the Minister of War it should ad- journ till noon, I will not oppose it; but we be- lieve it to be our duty to seize the occasion to lay before the Hovse a proposition which the existing situation demands. We will not add one word to the text which we now lay before you. We move that the Chamber adopt the ful- lowing resolutiors:—‘That Lou's Napoleen Bonaparte and his dymesty be declared to have forfeited the powers which the nation conferred uponthem. That there shall be chosen an ex- ecutive committce, composed of members the number of which shall be fixed by the Cham- ber, which shall be invested with all powers neceseary to repel invasion end drive the enemy from the roi]. That General Trochu, governor of Peris, be charged exclusively with the de- fence of the capital.’ ” The reading of these re~olutiors was listened to in profound silence. A single voice wes raised. It was that of Pinatd. “We have not power,” said he, ‘to pronounce decheance!”” President Schneider returned to bis proposal to adjourn the siiting until noon, on account of the gravity of what had happened. The Corps Legiclatit agreed to the proposition, and the sitting wes adjourned. THE ORLEANISTS ARE GOOD REPUB- LICANS, OF COURSE.

The revolution which bes just taken bes been a paeitic one. It was understood that no French blood should tlow except on the ticld of battle. It bas for its object, as in 1792, the repression of a foreign foe. It behooves, there= fore, the inhabitants of Paris, by their self-pos- setsion and the manliness of their attitade, to continue to show themselves equal to the task they an the nation have undertaken. For this remon, invested by the goverpment with powers, that have been ro much abused under previous regimes, I invite the inbabitante of Paris to the exercise of those political rights which they have just reconquered to the fallest extent pestible, consisting with wisdem and moderation, and to show to France and the world that we are indeed worthy of liberty. Our doty in the circumstances in which we have been placed is above all to remember that our country is in danger, and that France under the aurpices of Republican liberty is prepared to vanqu'sh or die.
