Jules Favre submitted a resolution deciaring the Emperor deprived of all constitutional functions, and proposed that a legislative commission be formed to expel the enemy from French soil, General Tro- chu remaining Governor of Paris. The propesition met with favor, but without ac- tion the Corps Legislatif adjourned the session until Sunday noon. Exciting Scenes in the City. As the proclamation of the Ministers announcing the capitulation of MacMahon’s army and the cap- ture of the Emperor became known the excitement among the people was indescribable. All the evening great crowds occupied the Place de la Concorde, it being known that a stormy scene had taken place in the Corps Législatif. ‘The story of the capture of the Emperor was freely circulated, but was not credited. It was reported that a dictatorship would be an- nounced, and that a secret meeting was being held. ‘The crowd anxiously awaited the news. There was @ Jarge police force on the ground, but there was no violence. At last the crowds separated, At midnight many of the streets were crowded with anxions and excited people, but there was no disorder. Manifestations During Saturday Night. Manifestations were kept up during the entire night, the crowds demanding the déchéance, or declaration that the empire no longer existed, General Trochu was shouted for, and on appearing he spoke to the crowd, saying he had taken an oath, and as an honest man he could not break it, The Chambers must answer them. At midnight crowds assembled before the Corps Legisiatif butiding and shouted that the Emperor having fallen into the hands of the enemy it was now time for the people to rise and chase out the invaders. ‘The Corps Légtsiatif, however, adjourned til! Snn- dayassurances having been given that the day should not pass without some determination worthy of France.
