      Ia Bastille. The Latter Presented A Very...

      Ia Bastille . The latter presented a very singular and exciting aspect . At ths extremity of the Bou'evard St Antoine * he National Guard had taken p' sse-jsion ef a barricade which they had demolished whilst on the otter side of the Place , at the entrance of the Faubiur ? St Anteine , the people were very coolly com pleting a lorm'dable barricade , on tbe top o which about , twenty men s ' ord in arms . The red flag was hoisted on every barricade in the Faub imv St Am nine . in which a iart € r I fannd it irep . vsible to proce ed very f . » r . I n ^ w returned thro u gh , the Rue St An ' -ine . Pe-e a < ain I found numerous barri

      eade « . one of which i s »* owned by tne National Guird without any resistance whatever trom the people . When I reached the Porte St Martin for the * ecnnd time , at ab . iut two o ' clock , a volley was fired in the Fanbourz . and shortly after tha troops and Nuional Guards were masters of the position . A c > nM ieraMe b * dy <> f dragoons was marched up to the B 'oh vard St Martin at the time when I left , an'l It * vveAfi & to me that preparations were beinv Ei ^ de t- > at ack ths Faubsurg St Antoine , where * h 3 bar-i . a ' es . 'sre exceedingly numerous , and where the eonfl ' ft must be dreiduil if they bo well defended .

      Wh . 'n 'la icnerale' wm beaten , about eleven o ' clock »« ., in the third arrondWseinent . ia the neighb inrh ^ od , " of the Ilalle aa Ble , the National Gn ^ d shewed but little alacrity in turning out . I ask d a oun « man who was standing at a wins-shop whether it « a < not the rappel that was beaten . ' No , ' Eaid he . ' it . is '" » generate , which ranans that everybndr Rh « n'd nk » up arras . ' 'Then you are not a Jotionsi Giard . ' -aid I . 'Tes , ' replied the yuan ? man . ' I am . but I do not mesa to interfere ; let i " io * e wh- > fotnTnUted tha faults repair them ' In ihe Ru » < le B uloi . a labouring man was describkc to a eroup whtt hs hid seen in tbe Faubnun ; St Antoine . Hp had b ^ n in care of a stage cinch , which =-3 s t = k * n ' ' mm him by the people ( o form a birrieadc . which he rrpr ? sente . d . as having reached

      the second stcrv of the hinges in the street before he had quitted it , He described the insurgents as compos d mostly <> f y-unz men and bora . Consider . able unwinds " prevailed amongst the shopkeepers , who Ho- "d their ? hips as qiickly as possible , excla iming that commerce was now ciimp ' etelv ruined . Nothing couhl prrsent a more deso ' . ale appearance thsn thfl Bourse - » nd its Eei ^ hbonrhcod , in general so animated . Anx ety was depicted in every countenance , and wherever a group was formed the prevailing topic was the incapacity of the government , and tlU cilp ^ -k neglect of the m ^ mber ^ , who sufferfd three months io ya « over without _ having introduced sa » oreanisition into tha national workshops , or having given the workmen any remunerative eniDlovmrnt .

      IIa ! f-o * s t Pons o ' clock . —A thunder storm of the most viol » nt kind has come to the aid of the government in snooressing this revolt . I have rarely seen jnnr > vivid liahtnin ? , and never saw more heavy rain . We sha ' -l see if it will have the seditive effects which tradi'ion ascribes to bad weather . It is time I should now turn to tne alleeed cause of thi « insurrection . Icau only find it oseribed to the disc ntent of the ' ouvriera , ' at the proposed dispersion of them by government . This m-asure has cever ceased to be regarded a ? fraught with fearful ¦ Dos'ibi ' . ities . nor have the Communists and other Ultra-Republicans ever ceaied to prrpire 0 turning it to tbe advantage of their own prejects . Tha sections are obviou sly among the insurgents . Little lias been said lately about I / mis Napoleon . Another awe significant and mors sinister feature is perceptible in this insurrection , —namely , the appearance cf the red flig on tha barricades of the Faubourg St

      Antoine . The public mind in the western partion of Paris is a little reassured by the success of all the attacks of fire armed force upon , the barricades ; but there is at bottom a deep ssnse of apprehension for the coming fiisht . Very hard fijhting has taktn phea in tha Fan . bonrgSt Marecan and the Faubourg Si Jacques . A convoy of twenty waggons ef ammunition is just pissing alon ? the B mlevirda towards tha seat c £ action . They are followed by a resimeat of the line and several thousands of the Girda Mobile . The rear is brought up bj two fquairoas of Dragaona and one of Lincsrs , having at th ? ir head a general officer and his staff ; the whole forming S fine corps d ' arra ? e . AH this while the city is in consternation . All ihe show are shot .

      Communication with the National Assembly be ; n < impossible . I am obliged to leave exclusively to your reporter the important proceedings that must have eecurred within its walls . A most unfavourable fact has just bf ei communieated to m ? , namely , that a large barrioada in tho JSaede ! a Cite is obstinately defended by the insurgents , and that among them are several soldiers of fee Repabliean Unsrd . Half-past Sis . —They are still fighting at the Place ic I * Bastille and the Place Lafayette . . Satoedat , Two . p . m . — Paris is in a state of siege ; Ssneral Cavaignac is tha eole depository of power . Ees Executive Coaimission is no more ; all the Miifetars iuve resigned .

      Sines the date of my despafoh of last nteht cannon aad market ?? have nst cea-ed to resound thrnugh Rrig . The insurgents may ba said to be everywhere , lat principalis iu the Fauboarjs PoUsonniere , St SJartin , and St Antoine , on the right biak of the Bter . in the I * knd , ' and in the Quarter of St Jacques asd St Victor oh the left . TaeSihting that has taken place since the date tf my ' etter of yesterday eveniu ? has been on both fcdesof tbemo 4 determined character . Ths insnr ffo > t » , which term comprises , I believe , the whole feres of the Se 3 tions and the Communists , fi ht with ateaurage , a coolness , and at the same time an eitfeiiiasTi that woald immortalise men in a good

      acsse . Th ; exaltes be'ieved that the Republic was BStproce : diEg in the true line , as yoa have been IsEgsware . and dstsraiaed oa patting su end to the pale * qovammant of MM . Lamartine and his coliagues , and on replacinf it by the Repnbllqie SWjS . Besides the ombatanfa on principle—as I shall Ifeia the Communists and Ssctions—there are tens a £ tho 3 ; aids of people whD were abaolutely famishitSt or who seek to have continued to them tha gjpsnd wh'ch they havo hitherto received . These sen , ths' Red' Republicans , have adrti ; ly provoked Bito the revolt , and they fuht with a desperation Irhich ra ' ses them to a level with their instigators oi gs drapeau rouge . *

      That there axz many amongst the i-ssurgents who ^ ht because the , ' safLred from hunger , is , I fear , fet too true . I h & ve jast now eeen a most respecfeb ! e gentleman , who list night , after the firing had 51 » great measure ceased , traversed the Faubourg S Victor . Ha found ia that quarter 500 barricades £ stsizej or ia constructien . He spoke to tha men « $ EJ * er 8 Wo : kiQ ? at or guarding them , and found frww civil , but determined tD the last paint of reso-Jifien . lie a ? ked one of th ? m , 'Why are you engaged ia this dreadful occupation V The man folded ftia arms and looked at him for some minutes , and

      fees said , ' Bscause I starve . I have a wife and fear children . I receive at the mayoralty twentytwo sons per day . That does not sufihe to buy bread fcr ng , cheap as bread is . Come with m 3 to my feme , and yoa shall havathe proof . Afieryou shall JaT 3 s ? en ray family I will return to this barricade , lam fcan = ry , but I will aot eat . I shall fall fightsg . ( Je ne feral tner . ) The gentleman aeconipajsied him to his home , which was wretched in the tttreme , and found tbe wife and children of the poor msx without food . He gave them money , bat he osald notdissaadethe husband and father ' from retsromg to ths barricade .

      Togive yon a notion of the andscity of the in-¦ argents , I shall here mention one fact that occurred , lasysay , under my eyes . At halt-past nine o ' clock Shta morning , a man en blouse , mounted on an esclteit horse , arrived at a smart trot on the Boulevard ess Italians , nearly opposite the Ooera Comique . Eathere encountered a body ef the Nalioral Guards ^ tti « 2 ad Legion , who desired him to stop . They ^ orwe ' aed to seirs the reins of his horse , when , e & ioghis blous ? , he produced a brace of pis-J ^ s , and Sred upon them right and left , Ba then cat spars to his horse , and went

      s & full gauop towards the Madeleine . On arriving at tha H itel des Affaires des Etrangeres of unforfsaate memory , hsfoand that his flight tawards the Kadeleine was impossible . He turned down the Bt » Nauve des Capucins , and endeavoured to pass ferongb . the Place Vendome . He was t ' aere stripped 5 ^ a niaja of National Guards , made prisoner , and —I am told—shot ; bat this I cannot vouch for . Ia the Place La Fayette , close to the terminus of gts Nwtharn Railroad , there occurred yesterday , sad tfeis day 8 succession of conflicts , or rather a ermtinned conflict of the most murderous kind , each party evincing ths most unshrinking courage .

      At this moment ( three o ' clock ) there is , perhaps , fcsfiring than daring some hoars ; hut I fcnow not jefc to what cause to ascribe the comparative csssa-Sou . I understand that the poiats principally contested are still the Place Lafayette , the Faubourg Poissonuiere , the Cite ( the Isla St Louis , & c ) , the Baa and Faubourg St Jacques , including the Pays 5 » tin , the Pisces de I'Ecole de Medicine and of the Pantheon . At an early hour this for . ' noon tha in-KrgentB occupied the Church of St Jacques . They were , I was to'd . summoned by General Cavaignac to SHrrender , but refused . « I shall give yoa an hour fer consideration , * said the Gaueral , with his usual & 16 toaes and manner . % At the end ef that time the & uch shall be stormea . ' I kuiw not what has been § t & mult , further than that the hour had lone eJapssdwien my informant left , and the insurgents irerestill in possession of the church .

      ^ A similar speech is said to have been addressed by ¦ tea to the insurgents in that focus of the insurrection—the Cite . 'I give you till four o'clock , ' the 1 Csaeral is reported to have eaid . « If yoa still resist , , Jmil bombard the quarter . ' In fact , howilz rs and mortars have arrived from Baicennes for the purpose . . I met at seven o ' clock yesterday evening a regh jjBBtofinfintry { 2500 oi 8 n ) , who had just marched is from the country . Duriag the night others are I Bid to have arrived . Lut night and ' this morning

      the generale and the rapnel w « re beaten in all the to- » ns in the vicinity of Pari * , and this day National Guards from alt quarters have been pouring in Anvmii them are those of R-wen and Amiens . The latter hronsht with them sime pieces of cannon , « hich I have just been told had been captured by the Lsurcent ? . It is not amies to observe , that about one o ' clock ivdiy deputations of the Niti'inal Assembly visited tha p tints at which the cenflicts were in progress , to exhort the trcops end National Guards to continued exertion and thank them for their P' -nductf , In some instances they were accompanied by students of the Polytechnic ' and other military 8 ih"U .

      Four o'clock . —If it were difficult to approach the fi-rhtine quarters ttr ' s morning , it ia now impossible , There is not a single rasn out of uniform to be seen on the whole line of tho Bnulerards . All who present themselves to pa sto their dwellings are stopped by the National Guards , and in suspicious cases g ? archet ! , & s it has bisn ascertained that ammunition hai b ^ n pawed ro the insuran ts by persons apparently uneonn-cttd vrith them . Several women htvtibe n arrested , whsee pockets were tilled with cartridnB . The wound of 1 W . Thayer has , I regret to say . proved mortal . He ^ ied this morning . M . Bixio has been killed ; M . Cave , the celebrated engineer , is ssid to have fallen ; the wounds of General Bedeau and of M . Clement Thomas are but slight ; General Lamori' ^ iere ia said to have been killed , but it ia not generally believed .

      Half-past Four o'clock . —M . Lamartine , on horseback , followed by M . Duclere , and a numerous staff , returned to tiie National Assembly at half-past three o ' clock on Friiay afternoon , lie was accompanied by a considerable multitude of operatives , who cried , ' The Damocratic and social Republic for ever . ' At nine o ' clock , a regimeat of Cuirassiers and the National Gu 3 . rd of Boulogne entered Paris together by the Barrier de l'Etoile . A portion of the rails of the Northern Railroad , between Paris aud St Denis , were removed by tho people on Friday to prevent the arrival of troops trnm Pontoise and Amiens .

      I . ' earn at this moment that the fighting is very severe at hatpartof the Boulevard du Temple oppo * ite fhfl J ^ rdin Tare , and theme to the Bastille . The Faubourg St Antoine ia said to be still in the hands of the insurgents , but the impression begins to become reneral that the party of 'Order , ' the Kaii < io ; d Guard * , and the troops , will , ere tp-morrow , hare suporessed the insurrection . Six o'clock . —Cannon have beon sent against the birri ade in the Place Lafayette . A howilzjr , with a party of artillery , have gone in the direction of the it iuph Railway . Troop * and National Guards continue to arrive . The firing is less frequent and less loud . In order ta present to our readers a more connected narrative of events we eive the following from the Journal des Dibvts of Saturday : —

      ' On Friday morning the President of the Assembly diree'ed the rappel for tbe National Guards to bebeaten in all the arrondissements . The whole of the Executive Committee assembled at the Presidency of the Assembly , and in concert with M . Senard , the Presddnnt , there confided the command in chief of all military force to General Cavaignac , Minister of War , with autharky from that moment to adopt everv measure he m ' ght deem necessary to oppose thei sorrectionary movement which was in course ot preparation . General Cavaignao consented to accept these powers , but he insisted upon not being thwarted in respect to the orders he might issue , and upon being at liberty to isiuo them without con * trol . taking tbe whole responsibility of his acts on himself .

      ' Tha movement commenced at the Place de la Bastile , where the first assemblage of workmen was formed about nine o ' clock in the morning . From thence the crowd , consisting already of from 600 to 700 pew » ns , proceeded alone the Boulevards to the Fortes St Martin and St Deni ? , c y ' S' Diwn with the National As-. emb ! y , ' ' Down with Lamartine , ' 'D . iwn with Ledru-Rollin , ' 'Down with Marie , ' ' Lon * live the Republic , democratic and social . ' At tea o ' clock the barricades bejau to be formed a * , the Porte * St Mar : in and St Denis . About 2 , 000 persons debouched by the faubourgs with the banners of ( he ateliers nationaux , having at their head leidera recognisable by blue caps with gold lace , and

      amon ? them were m ? n wearing the uniform of the Republican Guard . Oa reaching tho Porte St Denis , this body commenced nailing up the pavement and tearin ? down the iron railings along tho ascent leadin ? to the Rue da Ciery , and der-troyed the drum of a drummer who was beating the rappel ; and who only escaped himself b y taking refuge in the Restaurant de i' ( Eil-de Besuf " on the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle . At ten o ' clock an omnibus was seized , and , the horses bein ^ tak ^ n away , was used in barricading the Porte St D ^ tiis ; t wo cabriolets and a water carrier ' s cart were next taken and employed in constructing a second barricads in the Boulevard Bonne Noarelle , where a third barricade was also termed .

      At this time , among the barricades on this boulevard , in front of the Rue Maz » grao , a number of ch ldren and women were observable , the latter exhibiting great animation ; the men of the barricades entered the houses and demanded inns . They broke open theeonrt-yard gates of two houses in the Rue de Clery , and committed the tame violence wherever the inmates refused to let them in . At half past eleven o'clock firing was heard in the Boulevard St Martin , at which time only a few isolated detachments of the National Guards were to be seen . At noon the National Guard detouchedby the Rue de Clery , and a brifk firing began ; one man was killed , while ether persons , and among them a woman , were wounded . The killed and wounded were carried off by the men of the barricades . M . Roger

      ( du Nord ) , formerly deputy , rode ta the soot by himself , dressed in his uniform as Chef de Bataillon ef the National Guard . Some of the persons assembled manifested an intention to disarm him and to force him to quit his horse , but he boldly resisted their attempts , arrested one of the individual ? , aad directed t-ie National Guard to join him . A man , who levelled his piece at M . Roger , was slain and fell dead at his feet . At this moment the firing of musketry was heard at different points at once . Tares National Gaards were killed at the barricade Mazigran and their bodies remained on tbe Boulevard , being stripped by the men ef the barricades . At this moment shots were fired from No . 3 , and No . 5 , of the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle ; No . 3 , being tbe Cafe du Commerce , and Nj . 5 the Restaurant Thierry .

      Twenty minutes to One o ' clock . —At this moment ourrepor . e .- was c impelled to quit the balcony of tho house N ;> . 10 , Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle , in consequence of the shots which were proceeding from all directions , and which penetrated into the room , where several persons were assembled . One of the ismatea was wounded in the hand by the rebaund of a bullet , whieh at first hit the ceiling and got flattened . It was not before one o ' clock that the troops of the line arrived at St Deois , and up to that period the only force engaged in the conflict was the National Guard . At one o ' clock a battalion of Light Iafantry arrived with General Cavaignao at its head , and followed by a battalion of the Garde Mobile . The firing had new ceased to s great extent ; only some isolated discharges b ^ iug heard . About the same time the Artillery arrived .

      All the shops are closed : the generale is beating in the quarter of the Hotel de Ville ; the Place de Greve is occupied by s . detachment of the Republican Guard and by troops of the line . A barricade is formed on the Quai de la Megisserie , at the top of tte Rue Pianche Mibray , and another is csastructed in the Quai aux Fleurs , at the corner of the Rne de la Cite . Quarter to Four o'clock A brisk fusillade has tak ^ n place at the P-mi St Michel and at tbe Font del'HotelDieu . The artillery have made several discharges . The killed and wounded , it is said , are very numerous . Foua o ' clock . —Two barricades are formed at the Pont Neuf , one st the angle of the Quai des Grands Augnstins , and the other at the angle of the Quai C jnti . The tocsin of the church St Severin is heard mingling with a noise of the fusillades and the roar of the cannon .

      Twenty minutes past Foub o ' clock . — The barricades of tha Pont Neuf are abandoned ; they have been destroyed by the National Guard . The fusillade , as well as the ? onnd of cannon era again heard . Two National Guards , passing at this time across the Pont Neuf , are set upon by about fi ' t ? people , by whom they ara maltreated and dia . armed . The approaches of tbe bridge , abandoned by the National Guard after carrying the barricades , are net guarded by any troaps . It was not until five e'clock that both ends of the Pont Neuf were occupied by def achmeats of the 4 th Legion , and of the llvh Regiment , having pupils of the Polytechnic School at their head .

      The first barricade was constructed across the Boulevard near the Porte St Denis , which , with the house * situated atthe corners of the adjacent streets , farmed a complete system of defence . Other barricades , to the number of nine , were successively erected in the Rue St Danis and in the other streets in the immediate vicinity . The third battalion of the 3 rd legion , which first reached this point , attacked the insurgents without hesitation , and took the barricade , but it was unable to fget possession of the houses , whence the in . * surgenta kept up a destructive fire upon the National Guard .

      Tho firing continued on the Place du Pantheon , especially in the Rue St Jacques , where there was * ound a strong barricade at the top of the Rue desGies . A large number of insurgents had taken refnge in the antinished honses in the Rne SoufSot , whence they were dislodged with bail and bayonet by the National Guard . On entering the Rue St Jacques the National Guards had orders to take aim at the windows and fire npon every one who appeared . During this time the insurgents , who had abandoned the Rue Soufiirt , proceeded toward * st Stieane da Mont

      Ia Bastille. The Latter Presented A Very...

      when tbey sounded the toenn . The barricade of ihe Rue St Jacques was taken by the troops of the line , and by the Garde Mobile , whose courage cannot be too highly commended . Tho insurgents had raised barricades in the Rues des Mathurin-y St Jacques , and des Poirees . M . Arago sent artillery towards this point . The barricades were demolished by cannon , and a smart fire was kept up batwei'n the troops and the insurgents . A captain of the 7 » . h light regiment was killed en the barricade ; the company which he commanded has suffered much . Many officers of the National Guard an 4 many privates of the National Guard have been killed nnd wounded . The number of prisoners io considerabl ) . They have all been conducted , under a strong escort , to the prison of the 1 ur « mbourg . Another barricade has been raised at tbe bottom

      of the Rue de la Ilarpe , at the corner of th « Rue Sc Severin . It is here that we have to lament thu death of M . Masson , chief of the 4 th battalion , who had mounted the barricade to persuade the insurgents to retire . Scarely had he ceased speaking than he tell struck by five balls , as as well as two soldiers of the line who were by his side . Afterwards , at six o ' clock , M . Arago proceeded to the strongest barricade—that of the Place Cambrai . There were weveral discharges of artiPery ; but the barricadu resisted viuoruusly . Being onoe taken , it was spsedilv recovered- We have not heard whether any new effirt ha * been made to regain it . M . Bixio , one nf tbo member . ) ef the National Assembly received a ball in the chf st . Another representative , M . Dorncs , _ editor of the National , has been wimnded in tho groin .

      M , PJHire Bonaparte , son of Lucien , has had a horse wounded by a ball by tha side of M . de

      Lamartine . The Rue de la Cite , occupied sinco 10 o clock by the insurgen ts , wan taken about 8 o ' clock , nfter numerous discharges of a ^ tillfci-y and wfell maintained fusillades from the infantry . The firing commencc-d immediately afterwards towa-ds the end of the Rue St Jacquea . bat it was not eo much sustained . Several women ha-. 6 been arrested , and among them one who lived in furnished lodgings , and who admitted into her apar : ment eight insurgen ' s , who fired out of the windows . The firing does not abate for an instant . The street is swept by grapRsh » t . Skirmishes are taking place in all tbe small streets adjoini ig . ( From the Assemble Nationale . )

      On Friday evening at six o'clock a platoon firing , smartly kept up , was heard in the direotien of the Rue Sc Jacques . A very serious engagement took place in this direeUon between the insurgents and the tronps . The Rue St Jacques is intersected from one end to another by numerous barricades . _ The houses havo been completely guarded by the insurgents and turned into actual fortifications . The troois are fired upon from every window . Cannon is required to lake these positions . At eleven o ' clock the number of persons killed or wonnded was estimated at 1 , 000 in the course of tbe day—a day more terrible and more sanguinary than any that Paris has seen for thirty years . No one can say that to-morrow will not be still mere frightful . Midnight . — The insurgents are masters of the Place de la Bastille and its approaches . A sharp firing is nnw kept up between them and the troops .

      The firing continues in many quarters by the li | ht of the eonflaftation . An engagement has taken place in the direction of the Northern Railroad .

      ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) At tha attack upon the barricade St Martin , on the appearance of a battalion of the National Guard , the insurgents , taking it for & regiment of the line , asd hoping to shake the fidelity of the regular troops , raised a shout of ' Vive la Ligne ! ' but on finding their mistake most of them Aid . There remained only seven mtn and two women , who fought desperately . One of the men , who held a flag in his band , was the first te fire upon the National Guards ; his companions followed hia example , and the National Guards raiursed the fire . The man who carried the fbg fell dead , One of the fema ' es , a young woman neatly dressed , picked up the flag , and leaping over the barricade rushed towards the National Guards ,

      uttering language of provocation . Although the fire continued from the barricade , the National Guards , [ fearing to injure this female , humanely abstained for some time from returning if , and exhorted her to withdraw . Their exhortations , however , were va ' n , aad at length self-preservation compelled them t > fire , aud as the womaa was in front of the barricade a shov . reached her , and she was killed . The other female then advanced , took the Mag , and began to thr . iw stones at the National Guard . The fire from the barricade had become feeble , but several shots were fired from the sides , and from the windows of house ? , and the National Guavds , in returning tho fire , killed

      the second female . At last onl ) one man remained at the barricade , but be kept up acenstant discharge . Oae of t ' " . e National Guards left the ranks , sword in hand , and rushing to the barricade turned aside the musket of tbis man just as he was about to fire again , and took him prisoner . The capture of the barricade did not put an end to the combat . A galling fire was poured upon tbe National Guards from detached parties of the insurgents , and from the windows of the houses of which they had taken forcible possession . The number of killed ou this point is estimated at about twenty on both sides . The number of wounded was also considerable .

      A terrible combat took place between three and four o ' clock in the Rue da Faubourg Poiaaoniere between the Rua Bellefond and the Rue Lafayette , where strang barricades had been raised . In this place the insurgents were very numerous , and had placed themselves under the command of a person dressed as an officer of the National Guard- They ware attacked by tho 7 th legion of the Garde Mobile , and the 7 th Light Infantry , and a numerous party of the National Guard . The insurgents having been called upon , without tffacfe , to surrender , the engagement commenced and lasted twenty minutes . To the platoons of the infantry the rioters responded with a sharp fire , not only from the barricades , but from the neighbouring streets . At length the barricades vere taken , but not until the troops had sustained a severe loss . The commanding officer of th > National Guard ( M . Thayer ) was wounded , and a great many men and officers of the Garde Mobile and the regular army were killed .

      Satuhdav , Mid-day . —It is impossible to give you anything like an adequate description of Paris today . From early dawn the work of destruction has been going on without one moment's interruption , but all communication with the disturbed quarters being cut off , the most contradictory reports reach us of what is taking place . All we know is , that the wtole of the Faubourg St Marceau , the QuartierSt Jacques , ia entirely in the hands of the insurgents , that the military have been attacking it all day , and that , to the present time , they have not succeeded in their efforts to dislodge ths defenders of the barricades . The roar of cannon , which has been incessant since break of day , still continues with dreadful monotony . The loss of life must be enormous ; but for the present all we can say of it is , tbat in almost

      every street you may see the relics of this frightful battle in the shape of dead and wounded being carried back to their homes . It is thought that the insurgents have gained greatly in numbers during the night . They certainly have gained in the strength of their positionsand iu the quantity of arms . They are largely supplied with fire-arms and ammunition , and they have got possession of no less than eleven pieces of artillery , which they contrived to capture from the regular troops . They are barricaded to such an extent in the narrow streets between tbe Hotel Dieu and the Pantheon , that there is no means ef penetrating , for ss tbey have possession of the h 9 uses as well as of the barricades , the troops who venture to enter are at once assailed with showers of missiles fn-m all sides .

      PARIS IN A WATB OF BIEOE—DISSOLUTION OP IHE EXECUTIVE OOVBBNMBNt . Half-past Twelve o'Clock . —It has just been announced that the National Assembly has declared Paris in a state of siege—that the Exeeutive Government has been dismissed , and that General Cavaignao has been declared Dictator , with all powers of every kind , civil and military , and without interference on thepa ^ tof any one . Two o'Clock—GeneralCavaignaosenta flag of truce to the insurgents to inform them that if they would yield before two o ' cleck , indemnity would ba given to all parties coBcerned , but that after that hour he would shell the barricades , mortars having bejn sent for for that purpose . The firing still goes on as before . M . Amadee Thayer has died of his wounds . He was the son-in-law of General Bertrand , the friend of Napoleon .

      It is said that the number of killed is upwards of five thousand . Tho 24 th . Regiment alone has lost two hundred men . The 29 th Regiment has suffered severely . Six o'Clock . —The firing has ceased on every side but I fear _ the affair is not yet quite at an end . In fact it is known that the insurgents are still in possession of the whole district abaut the Bastille Tbe barricades in the Quartier St Jacqueahave been taken , after having baen bombarded tor foar hours Whether the affair is completely at an end , one thine is certain , that the troops and tbe National Guards have got the ascendant so far that they must now be the conquerors .

      Luxemfco-jrg have shot several of the prisoners who fell into their bands . It is eaid that M . de Narbonne and one of his servants , who were taken with arms in their hands , hava been shot . One legion ef the Garde Mobile ( the 24 th ) refused to act against tho insurgents . This battalion has , ct-nsequontly , been disarmed by the other- battalions , and ceveral of the me , a have heou tried by drum-head court-martial , and shot . Th « battalion was raised in the 12 th arrondlsBement , whieh is the principal scene of in-BUtr . ' ction . Half-pas ' ; Six . —I have just returned from the Assembly . Tbe insurgents are still in force in the JardinTurque and the whole of the Faubourir St Antoine . A large body of artillery and howitzorg have just been sent from the Hall of the Assembly to blow up their strongholds , but it is not likely that they will ba . completely put down till late at night .

      . _ , . ... In the Quartier St Jacques the insurgents are ' driven entirely from their barricades . The church ) of the Pantheon was carried at one o ' clock by sterta . The gntes W'Mre blown up with artillery . A ereat many were killed on both sides . Tbo insurgents have taken re / ueein the district about tbeBarriere d'ltalis ; but they have no barricadta in that ' q-niter . A d readful act of butchery was committed sn Satur <' fl 7 flhuit one o ' clock by the insurgents , at one of the barricades in the Faubourg St Germsio . They

      had tnken five of the Garde Mobile prisoners , and held them apart without iiijury . Hearing , bowdver , that the troops of the line were coming down in force , they dttterroined to abandon the barricade , but at the same time they came to another terrible daternvuation , which they forthwith carried into execnt ; on—they cut the throats of the five prisoners ! The lifeless bodies of the unfortunate lads , for none of them had exceeded the age of eighteen , were fo md still warm when the troops of the line and a party of the Garde Mobile came up ,

      This act had the effect of exciting tbe most intense oxiiperation , 'and particularly amongst the Garde Mobile . In the report of the proceedings of the National Assembly , it was aiated that 1 , 500 of the iu 5 u rgents bad surrendered on the Place du Pantheon . These men were being led across the garden of the Luxembourg , when a large body of the Garde Mobile , who were then guarding the palace and gardene , being unable to restrain their desire of vengeance fir their murdtred comrades , sent a volley into the bjdy thus passing , and killed upwards of 100 . Prisoners were brought in from time to time on Saturday to the buildine in which the National Assembly sits . Amongst one batch ef twenty five was a young girl dressed in male attire , who was most active in supplying ammunition to the insurgents .

      SuNDiT Morning . —As I told you yesterday , the insurrection of the left bank and in the Cite has been entirely put down , but not without great loss of life on both sides . It appears that so strongly were the insurgents posted , that the military , after repeated attaok « , found it impossible to dislodge them . Tbey , therefore , had recourse to the stratagem of appearing to give wuy . They retired—the insurgents fell into the trap—they left their barricades , and pursued their opp ments . On plain ground they had no chance , and great numbers were immediately slaughtered . Tliis was the fi » t success on the part of the military . Others fallowed . The Hotel Dieu

      was soon taken on the one side . The Pantheon was stormed on the other by M . B . oulay ( de la Meurtbe ) , a member of the Assembly , at the head of his regiment of National Guards . The insurgents were driven from point to point till they lost the whole of their strong points , and were at last forced to take refuge in the large district in the neighbourhood of tho Barreire d'ltalie , which is known to most strangers who have visited Paris aa the district where the manufactory of Gobelins tapestry , and the great hospital of the Saipetriere are situated . On the left bank of the Seine , therefore , the insurrection may he considered as having been completely put down .

      As for the state of the insurgents on the right bank it is very different , for they still remain formidable . In the early part of yesterday they were dratrn from a strong position which they had in the Rue du Faubourg Temple , t'i barricades built in the neighbourhood of the Hospital of St Louis , which nearly cut off tbe communications between the Clos St Lizire and the Faubourg St Antoine . Soon afterwards their position was weakened by the loss of a formidable barricade in the Rue Rochechouard , but still their position in the Clos St

      Laiwe was very formidable . Oa the other hand , a strong body coming from the Quartiera des Ilnllea threatened the Hotel de Ville , which , as I to ! d " you , was at one time in great danger . It was not till near tferee o ' clock that the insurgents were driven baok . All day troops were gathering towards the terrible Clos StL-zire , which still held out . I see by the account from the Chamber , that at a late hour last night it was not yet taken , but if the following Account , which app saw in a paper « . f this morning , ba true , it fell last night . The paper in question says : —

      'The affair of the Clos St Liz ire was tho gravest of this horrible day . Several times reinforcements were demanded , but still the troops could nit make themselves masters of the position . The insurgents , entrenched in the hospital , defended themselves with the utmost bravery . By four o ' clock this evening one of the battalions of the Garde Mobile had already lost 200 men . We just learn ( five o ' clock ) that the barricades of the Faubourg St Antoine begin to give way . The first was carried by General Ca « vaignac in person . Colonel Michel , of the artillery of the National Guard , has been dangerously wounded br a ball in the breast . At six o ' clock the

      fira commued in the Cloa St Laz » re , and was recommencing in the Faubourg du Temple and St Antoine . At seven o ' clock , the National Guards of Amiens and some artillery , with General Lamoriciere and M . Ducoux , a representative , at their head , joined their companions in the attack of the Clos St Lazare . The news has just been brought to us that the Clos St Lazare has been taken after several most disastrous attacks . One battalion of the Garde Mobile , the 7 t ' i , his been almost entirely destroyed . _ Of the 800 men ot which it was composed there are , it is said , only nine or ten who are not killed or wounded .

      Sunday Mobniso , Ten o'Clock . —Such is the information given of the state of Paris up to midnight , but I understand there is one important error . The Clos Saint Lazire has not been taken . ! The whole of the attack * upon ic yesterday evening have failed , and the insurgents maintain themselves in it as strong as ever . The cannon cannot be brought to bear upon it , from its being upon a height . General Cavaignao has consequently been obliged to send to Vincennes far larger cannon and shells , with which an attempt ia to be made to batter down the place from the heights of Montmartre , which command it . The whole day will probably be consumed in the operation . It is said thst upwards of 40 . 000 troaps and National Guards have entered Paris in the course of last night and this morning .

      On the left bank of the Seine I hear that some fresh barricades have been rebuilt during the night , and that the work has to bo recommsneed in that quarter ; but the accounts which reach me are contradictory , and I oinnot ascertain the extent of this fresh outbreak of the force ef the insurgents . ( Froa the Daily Mm of Saturday . ) On the dictatorship being conferred on General Cavaignao he issued the following notice : —If at noon the barricades are " not removed , mortars and howitzsrs will be brought , ani by which shells will be thrown whieh will explode behind the barricades , and in the apartments of the houses occupied by the insurgents .

      Jndging by the constant firing during the afternoon , this teirible threat appears to have bean executed . The formation of all groups and assemblages on every part of the Boulevards during the day , where the circulation was left free , has been prevented by constant movements of cavalry , At half-past two o ' clock the cannonade and the fusillade continued in the Faubourg S . Marceau , the Quartier St Jacques , and the Faubourg St Antoine . Shells were much used . A report , dated three o ' clock , says that the slaughter was then immense . An order is reported to have been issued to give no quarter . At half-past three the conflict became so general and eo bloody and the streets were so obstructed , that we found it impossible to obtain any precise information . It is nnt an insurrection . It is a civil war .

      At half-past three , the insurgents were driven to the Pantheon and there surrounded ; they fought desperately and with a courage which would be admirable if devoted to a just cause . Five p . m . —I have just learned that the Pantheon has been recovered from the insurgents , after thro © hundred discharges of qannon . Scndav Mornino , —The following are some further details of the fighting of yesterday : — The fighting near the Northern Railway was most desperate . The head-quarters of the insurgents are supposed to have been the Church of St Severin , ?> tuatein the quartier St Jacques , near the river . The fortress aad citadel was tha Faubourg St An . toine , occupied and bvrricaded throughout , extend , ing on one aide from the Temple , taking in the Fanbourg St Martin and the Placj Lafayette , close to

      the Northern Railway and tho Cloa St Lazwe . On the other aide the insurrection was in the quartiers St Marcel , St Victor , and the lower part of the quartier St Jacques . Paris was thus lapped in a largo semicircle by a line of fortifications . Masters of the church of St Severin , of the bridge St Michel , and of the avenues to the bridge of Notre Dame , they came to the Hotel do Ville , and they established themselves in the Church af St Geryais . If the insur . gents could havo come down from the Temple side the Hotel de Vide would have been placed batween two fire ? . The Clos St Lazire was fortified so as to bo rendered almost impregnable . It was protected by immense barricade , and tho insurgents were intrenched in an hospital , now erecting . This peat was connected with advanced works extending to the heights of the Faubourgs St Denii , St Martin , Xa Chapelle , La Vitbatie , the Temple , the

      Ia Bastille. The Latter Presented A Very...

      quartier called Popincourt , and the Faubourg . Antoine . There was great Am ^ er here , i National Guards from Polsy and Pontoise j drew i before the barricade of this Clos St Lazire , and the first fire fifty of them fell . - . The Pantheon the insurgents defended with o pieces or cannon . Thpy had also eeiz . d tho colle Henry IV . behind it , and this church w the key of the position extending through tj Quartier St Jacques ; o the church of St Seven Accordina to the Si clb , there are 1 . 500 Nation Guards lying dead in the church of St Severin , w , fell in the slaughter at this spot . t

      The Church St Gervais , immediaely behind t Hotel de Ville , had to be taken from the msu gents with cannon . The bridge of Notre Dame n to be swept by cannon , as well as the Qiaiaux t ! eu ) house of bu- ; ir . e » s six stories high , callea 'La Be Jardiniere , ' on ( his quay , was demolished by cann balls . It had been t . tken possesion of hy the mst gents . The Cite was cleared at tbe time that t Pantheon was taken . ( From the Morning Herald ) In the Cite the insurgents entered the houses , ai

      thus rendered themselves almost impregnable , < account of the narrowness of theatre * ti . They al barricaded themselves in tbe lar ^ e clotting estabue ment of tho Belle J irdiniere . from which the / ecu only be dislodged by bringing cannon to bear on t house and knocking it down . This was done , and body of about fotty made prisoners . On their i tiring from this spot they got possession of the hi pital of the Hotel Dieu , on which cannon was a ! brought to bear , by which the armed force gain possession of it and the adjoining houses .

      On the Place Maubert , after a combat of t ' heurs , the insurgents were driven e « t , and th took refuge at the top of the Rue St Victor , near t wine depot . The troops followed them up closely , ai kept up a well directed fire on them . Ia the Faubourg St MafOeftU thfl fighting Wfl 9 VP severe , the insurgents defended all their bawicad with great obstinacy . At this point the fury ot t people was such that the women threw boiling i aud water from the windows on the troops . Atthe Pantheon the combat was verydesperai Fifteen hundred of the insurgents had barricad themselves within the building , and in order to d : lodge them it was necessary to plant cannon ai break in the doors . This attack lasted at least i an hour and a half , but when a breach was made i Natisnal Gusrds find tho Line entered amidst shower of balls , and made the insurgents lay dox their arms .

      FRIGHTFUL BATTLE IN ST ANTOINE . TAKING OF THE CMS ST MZAR 8 . ( From the Daily News . ) SmH > AY , 11 am . —At five o ' clock thi . < morning th ' generale' again sounded in all quarters . Regiment of the line , infantry and cavalry , continued to srn ' v from the departments . At six several legions o National Guard from the provinces marched int Paris . The quarter of the capital around the Cham ber and the Tuileries is literally covered with troop who birouack in the streets and places . The Plac de la Concorde and Champs Eljs ^ es present th aspect of a camp . The insurgents have now collected in those quar ters of the Faubourgs which arc be } ond ths canal S Martin , and iu the upper part of the Faubourg Pois soniere . Every house in La Villette and La Chapeli is converted into a fort , and every window is a loop hole .

      All appeals to the insurgents to spare the lives of their families by a surrender having failed , it is decided to-day to resort to extreme means of suppression , A hundred and twenty pieces of cannon , including a large portion of heavy ordnance , are prepared for this day ' d work , besides mortars , howitzer and grenades . It is intended to attack house by house , to batter them with cannon , and to throw shells on the roofs and grenades atthe windows . The engineers are now reported to be employed in mining the houses where tbe insurgents have taken refuge , the staircases of which have been destroyed . Nothing can be worse than the present a » peot of things . Several thousand prisoners have been taken among the insurgents ; m ^ ny of them were immediately shot . The vaults of Notre Dame , the Louvre , the Tuileries , and the Assembly , are filled with them , To-day will be the crisis ; the result can hardly be doubted—it will either be submission or

      extermination . All circulation through thestreats is interdicted . Vehicles are seen passing everywhere , to carry away the dead . On the Place de la Concorde , which is covered with cavalry and artillery , the men are generally dismounted , and lying on the asphslte , taking their breakfasts . Waggons are seen bringing prov ender for the horses , which are tied round the fountains and round the obelisk , and to the lamp-posts . The Champs Elysees are converted into a vast camp ; artillery is planted Jn the quays , and guns are pointed from the vestibule of the Chamber . Members of the Assembly , distinguished by their tricoloured fcarfs , are seen in groups of tea or twelve , patrolling the streets . I learn from some of these , that whenever ? hey pass between the Chamber and the Hotel de Ville , tbey never fail to ba fired upon b y Insurgents from the windows in the latter quarter .

      Although , as I have stated , the number of regular troops in Paris , even with the accession of tha arrivals to-day , will not exceed 30 , 000 , the number of National Guards is incalculable ; they have never ceased arriving since dawn this morning from the departments . The Place de la Madeleine and the Rue Royale are now covered with troops . The journals of Paris have not been able te appear today , except in single leaves , and even these in limited numbers . The church of St Sulpice is said to be in the power of the insurgents , who have a piece of cannon there . ^ An irruption from the operatives of Lyons and other manufacturing towns is feared . Sunday , 5 f . m — All political cuds are interdicted . This moruiug fighting took place at the Jardin des Plantes .

      The delay allowed the insurgents in the Faubourg St Antoine to surrender having expired without any reply , tke operations immediately commenced , The first barricade was vigorously attacked and carried , but not without considerable slaughter on the side of the assail > nts . Colonel Baynaud , of the 48 » h Regiment of the line , and several other officers were killed . General Boquet , of the Engineers , arrived at the Place de la Bastille at twelve , with the firemen and a battalion of sappers . Some houses were in an instant blown up , and several barricades thus turned were captured without loss . On some points the insurgents had dug trenches , against which the artillery was unavailable . They fired from within , and , on the approach of the troops , escaped through paseages opened in the cellars of the houses , A large body sallied from the suburb towards noon , entered the island of St Louis , and formed a barricade on

      the Pont des Tonraelles , which was undergoing repairs . They were there kept in chack by troops stationed in ths wine atorea on the opposite side , and wereaotually placed between two fires . The enclosure of St Lazire was re-ocoupio I in the mrrning by the insurgents , who carried away ten small pieces of artillery balongingto the Chateau Rouge , which th ^ y loaded with stone and pieces of broken bottles . On the Quay de la Megissetie some ruffiians fired from a window on a battallion of trcops of the line , and escaped by a back door into the street . Others were , at the same time , erecting a barricade close by , in the Rue de Bethizy ; but a patrol of National Guards dispersed them , and they fled , throwing their arms in the streets . A battery of artillery had been placed on the hill of Montmartre , and measures were adopted to prevent the insurgents from gaining possession of that important position .

      By latest accounts which have reached me the Clos St Lazare has fallen into the possession of the troops . This place , the stronghold ot the insurgents , resisted all the efforts of General Lamorioiere on Saturday for many hours . Its occupation by the enemy effectually kept the troops ont of the Faubourg St Antoine . It was carried by oterm about an hour age . The old Municipal Guards have been called to Paris . A great number of them were assembled round the Assembly , anxious to join in the fight , Forty-four prisoners have been put to death on the Place de Greve . It was imponsible to form an idea of the losses on bath sides but , in the opinion of many * Paris had not witnessed such a scene ol slaughter since the massacre of St Bartholomew .

      Mondat Morning . —At six o ' clock p . m . yesterday after the taking ef the Barrier Rooheouart , the body of the chief of the insurgents , who defended it , was brought into the Mairie of the second arrondiasement . It was a man named Larroque , editor of the Pbrb Doohrbne , president of the club of the Moun-• tain . He was killed by a ball ia the heart . | General Renault is said to be severely wounded . i The death ef General Negrier ia announced . i About eight o ' clock yesterday evening , M . Char-] bonnel , a representative , was carried along the I Boulevard , accompanied by two representatives and I several friends . By his paleness it appeared that he j had been mortally wounded , but en examination the ) surgeons declared it to be serious , but still there were hopes of his recovery .

      The women play a great part in tbe insurrection , many have been arrested on whom have been found cartouches , which they carried to the- inturgenta ; one had hid them in her basket eovwred with meat , which sha carried on her- head , anchor had sewn thorn inside her clothW . Another carried them in her milk cans .

      ARREST OP M . BMILK OS QIBAROIN . M . EmiledeGirardin , proprietor and editor of tho Presse , has baen arrested and taken to the Prefecture of Police . Seals have been put on the offices , and the presses , &} ., seized . About half-past seven in tbe evening . Louis Blanc was passing along the Boulevards on foot , between two representatives , at & he corner of the Rue Richelieu he was reognised by the picquets of National Guards who occupied that post . Hostile cries were soon uttered against him , for nothing but curses Are now heard against him . Bui for the intervention of

Iho National GUJ and the troop * are in yoUMtion of all tke J , ns !) of « canal from the Bastille to La Chapelle St D ^ i 9 , of which they were expected to obtain possess ^ ^ terday evening . We are toid that the house at the corner nf thfl Rue de Greve , on which was written in lar Ke letters ' Remplacoaient militaire , has baen destroyed bl cannon , as well as another in the Rue des Ormes . The insurgents who were barricaded there , Jad who had directed a most murderous fire upon th » troops , were all taken prisoners . Several generals were killed and others wound ^ Among the killed was General Negrier , quejtor of the Assembly .

      National Gu & rda continue to arrive hourly /„„ . the departments . The numbsr of prisoners taken ia immense . All the shops were closed , business entirely 9 aapended . and litters bearing the grounded were ineaa santly passing through the streets .

      FURTHER PARTICULARS . The insurgents had entrenched themselves in « atrongly . fottified position in the Clos da St Lswre , a wide elevated plateau or plain , in the vicinity of the station of tha Northern rai ' way . Thi < plgjn which is scattered over with outhmses , buildinj raateria ' s , and timber , was converted into a regular fortress , in a manner which rendered it imprejnabla without a regular siege . Many thousands of the in . su ' rgents were quartered inside . Various atfemptj had been made to carry it by storm , but in vain . On Sun . lay , General Cavaigoac determined to take it , and ordered it to be mined , advancing guns and sheila against it . At halt-past four o ' clock a letter from M . Marrast , mayor of Paris , to the President of the National Assembly , announced that it had been taken by the troops ; and that the eighth Mairie , the last stronghold of the insurgents , which still held out , was on the point of being attacked .

      LAST GLORIOUS STRUGGLES ® F THE PATRIO rs . ( From the Dai ' y News of Wednesday . ) Paris , Monday 3 r m —I have just now made a promenade , as far as the sentineli would permit , Even a pass is now refused . The hospitals in all parts of the town are com . pletely filled with the wounded . Straw is placed on the aisks of the churches , which are also fiilei with the wounded . I have just been in some of them , where tho odour proceeding from the unhippy so / ferera is terrible . The wounded continue U pass o & litters and in vans every five minutes . Wounded horses are also led back from the fight . I learn that the bombardment of the Fauboun ? it now going on . ' Red hot balls are thrown among tho insurgents , and into the houses in which tbey are shut up . '

      Great losses were sustained on the banks of the Seine , because it was necessary t » contest foot by foot tbe ninth arrondissement . The insurgents had occupied nearly all the houses ; the streets being barricaded , and communications opened between the courts allowed the insurgents to ko from place to place under cover within the triangle we have described . The windows , stepped up with planks aad mattresses , hid become ' rneurtriers , ' and it was necessary to take the houses one after tbe other before arriving at the barracks of the Celestins , which were onlv carried after a severe combat .

      The Faubourg St Antoine hai been surrounded since the morning , and battered by cannon . A part of the troops descended to the Pont d'Austerii ' j , which they carried , and then , remounting under the orders of General Negrier , to the Place de la Bastille , by the Boulevard Bourbon , they placed themselves between the barricades of the Rue St Antoioe and the Faubourg St An'oine . Tha Rue St Antoine was soon cleared , but the brave General Negrier there met his death , which took place under the following circumstances : —General Negrier , after a bloody combat , marched for the Quai dea Ormes , at the head of a detachment of the 24 th of the line and the artillery of the National Guards , to go by the

      quays to the Pont Marie and the barracks of tie Celeatias , which were still occupied by the insurgents ; the general , accompanied by some officers of ordnance , took successively a great number of barricades , and after a lively resistance ho retook tho barracks , and drove the insurgents from the Greniers d ' AbDUdance , where they were established . Unfortunately while the general was in the act ot sending a commandant of the National Guards to cause some reinforcements to advance to relieve the upper part of the Ruo St Antoine from the insurgents , he was struck by a ball , at the entrance of the Rue St An * toine , opposite the large barricade which defended the entrance of the Faubourg . M . Charbmnel , a representative , was seriously wounded by hia side .

      ( From the Times . ) In the vicinity of the house , on the Boulevard du Temple , from which Fieschi fired on Louis Pisilippe . the insurgents fought with the most determined conrajre throughoutfthe day . Not content witlnd * feud * va % the positions in the Rue dc Cru * aol and tn \ e Rue Menil Montard , they determined on a sortfo . and debouching from those streets spread themselves along the Boulevard to the Theatre de la Giite , fighting hand to hand with the troops , whil « the main body , sweeping by tho Jardin Turc , drove the National Guards , and troops past the Cadran Bleu , and into the Rue Chariot . Their success was of on ] y brief duration . They were driven back at the point of the bayonet , and although they continued to resist for hours afterwards , were ultimately obliged to retreat .

      Tne barricade of the barrier Rooheouart , which was defended for so many hours , and which cost so many valuable lives , was commanded by M . La Kioho ( or La Roque ) , the editor of the journal the Perc Duchb ^ nk . He was summoned by a Garde Mobile ia surrender , and having refused , the Garde shot him In the head . It is said that the lih legion of the National Garde Mobile -ost 800 men at the attack on the Clos Saint Lazira . A private of the ^ h legion of * same corn , describing tbe attack on a barrion . io , .-. the Rue Saint Jaeque * , said that he left there ths--4 fourths of tho legion , lie added that he escaped « r ' . ; by throwing himself on his face , andIhe wa . imuv diately covered by tho men who fell under th * ,: . it , ' the insurgents . The dead bodies , ' said he , ' *< - ; ¦ < tossed about as paviours throw paviu-j sttuaa . ' ( From the Daily News )

      Quarter-past Fivk , p . m . —Since seguing the last despatch , I am informed that , after having surrendered this morninp , the insurgents retracted , and were bombarded and attacked with shells and other ways for several hours . They have , however , finally be an subdued . This you may consider as certain , but oir communications are so intercepted th « I find it impossible to obtain other details with any degree of certainty .
