CHAPTER III.
EFFECT OF PRESIDENT BARBICANE'S COMMUNICATION.
It is impossible to depict the effect produced by the last words of the honourable president.

What cries! what vociferations! What a succession of groans, hurrahs, cheers, and all the onomatopoeia of which the American language is so full.

It was an indescribable hubbub and disorder.

Mouths, hands, and feet made as much noise as they could.

All the weapons in this artillery museum going off at once would not have more violently agitated the waves of sound.
