(SEINE-ET-MARNE). PARIS AS HEADQUARTERS, 9 August 1870 - "Declaration of the Government to the Houses. "Gentlemen. The Emperor promised you that the Empress would call you if circumstances became difficult. We did not want to wait to bring you together until the situation of the fatherland was compromised... We ask you to help us to support and increase the national movement and to organize the mass raising of all that is valid in the nation. Everything is prepared. PARIS will be in a state of defense, and its supply is assured for a long time. The sedentary National Guard is organizing everywhere. The Paris Fire Regiments, the customs officers, will be put into the active army. All the men of the maritime registry... are called... to assemble a new army of 450,000 men, we propose first to increase the Mobile National Guard... Not backing down from any of the duties that events impose on us, we have placed under siege PARIS and the departments that the enemy threatens... the vast majority of the city of PARIS will maintain its patriotic attitude..." - Telegraphic dispatch for Copy L.
