The prоvisiоnаl gоvernment estаblished in Pаris after the mob had attacked the Tuileries, February 24, 1848, immediately issued the following proclamation. In the name of the French people: A reactionary and oligarchical government has just been overthrown by the heroism of the people of Paris. That government has fled, leaving behind it a trail of blood that forbids it ever to retrace its steps. The people has won a national and popular government in accord with the rights, the progress, and the will of this great and generous nation. A provisional government, the result of pressing necessity and ratified by the voice of the people and of the deputies of the departments, in the session of February 24, is for the moment invested with the task of assuring and organizing the national victory. Under the popular government which the provisional government proclaims, every citizen is a magistrate. Frenchmen, it is for you to give to the world the example which Paris has given to France; prepare yourselves by order and by confidence in your destiny for the firm institutions which you are about to be called upon to establish. The provisional government wishes to establish a republic,--subject, however, to ratification by the people, who shall be immediately consulted.
