Encircled by the Prussian army, the provisional government emits with the material still concervé in Paris of the stamps which start to miss. The boards of impression of Cérès of 1849-1850 usable, and corresponding to the tariffs in progress, are employed again.

At the end of the seat, the impression continues with the same boards, and the stamps are transmitted to the offices of provinces. They then replace Cérès printed in Bordeaux in the nonoccupied departments of the south of France.
