Accompanied by the Prussian army's siege tactics without assault, Paris once again fell into chaos, with large numbers of citizens beginning to attack the government office.
The New Paris Office could only suppress these turbulent citizens with force, aware that the Prussian army was watching menacingly outside the city. Internal unrest was absolutely not permissible at this time.
However, the fall of Paris was already a matter of time; the French Army's multiple attempts to break through all ended in failure, and the newly organized army was no match for the Prussian army.
In order to establish external contact, the city of Paris prepared to launch hot-air balloons with various letters and leaflets placed in the basket, hoping that some balloons might break through the Prussian blockade.
As the situation in Paris deteriorated further, on October 8, Minister of Internal Affairs Gambetta escaped Paris by hot-air balloon, drifting to Tours with the wind.
