M.Delescluze, who was one of the persons there, thus describes what took place: "A declaration was signed by the new Government declaring that on the understanding that the Commune was to be elected the next day, and also the Provisional Government replaced by an elected one, the citizens designed at a public meeting to superintend these elections withdrew." This was communicated first to Dorian, who appears to have been half a prisoner, half a friend; then to the members of the old Government, who were in honourable arrest; then to Jules Ferry outside.

A general sort of agreement appears then to have been made, that bygones should be bygones.

The Revolutionists went off to bed, and matters returned to the point where they had been in the morning.

Yesterday evening a decree was placarded, ordering the municipal elections to take place to-day, signed Etienne Arago; and to-day a counter-decree, signed Jules Favre, announces that this decree appeared when the Government was _garde a vue_, and that on Thursday next a vote is to be taken to decide whether there is to be a Commune or not.
To-day the streets are full of National Guards marching and counter-marching, and General Tamisier has held a review of about 10,000 on the Place Vendome.

Mobile battalions also are camped in the public squares.
