In Belleville the crowd destroyed gas street lamps and shop fronts before marching down the Boulevard du Temple, where they attacked a police van, on their way to the Place de la Bastille, where thirteen people were arrested before order was restored at 2 a.m. by the sergents-de-ville (uniformed police). Many said that the police overreacted to the natural exuberance of the crowd at the favorable showing of liberal candidates in the election, and that the further disturbances on the 9th were in consequence. The crowds reached as far as the Place du Carrousel on at least one night, disrupting a gala soirée at the Tuileries Palace, although the emperor remained impassive in the face of a stream of telegrams and Émile Waldteufel's baton was steady.Augustin Filon Augustin Filon Recollections of the Empress Eugénie https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.176656/page/n83/mode/2up 1920 74 London Cassell and Company, Ltd. 24 November 2021 On the 10th, the Prefect of Police issued a proclamation saying that such disturbances would no longer be tolerated.
