Remember "that twelve thousand are kept uselessly occupied digging on the hill of Montmartre, and paid twenty sous per day.

Remember that the wharves and quays are covered with them, that the Hotel-de-Ville is invested by them, and that, around the palace, they seem to be a reproach to the inactivity of disarmed justice." Daily they grow bitter and excited around the doors of the bakeries, where, kept waiting a long time, they are not sure of obtaining bread.

You can imagine the fury and the force with which they will storm any obstacle to which their attention may be directed.
II.

The Press.
Excitement of the press and of opinion .-- The people make their choice.
Such an obstacle has been pointed out to them during the last two years, it is the Ministry, the Court, the Government, in short the entire ancient regime.

Whoever protests against it in favor of the people is sure to be followed as far, and perhaps even farther, than he chooses to lead .-- The moment the Parliament of a large city refuses to register fiscal edicts it finds a riot at its service.
