The Papal Nuncio succeeded , together with the Ministers of the Argentine Republic and Uruguay . Next came the ambassador of England ; but those of Austria , Prussia , Russia and Holland awaited instructions from home -- little dreaming of the news they were about to receive ! The city of Rouen sent three hundred of its citizens as a deputation , with abundant supplies of arms , by the morning cars of the railway . At about noon , the Pont Louis Philippe was destroyed by fire . Henceforth it is to be `` Le Pont de la Réforme . '' And so with all other names . Royal is to give place to République , and `` Liberté , Egalité et Fraternité '' is to be again inscribed on all public monuments .
