Face.—The revolt in Paris, of which the beginning was merely an- nounced in our first edition last week, and was very briefly reported in a latereditionrassamed the character of a new revolution. We recur to the earlier scenes.

On Thursday, some S,000 of the workmen were dringhted off, as a be- girMingy and despatched towards their homes in the provinces. They were famished-with road-directions and billeting-cards to procure them food and lodging at appointed stationson their way. Agitators from the Clubs had been unceasingly active for several days before in exciting the men in the workshops to open -resistance. It was represented that those who sub- mitted to expulsion from Paris would meet with ridicule and- contumely, as aggravating the competition for the wages.of labour at home. The men appointed for removal on Thursday were moved by-these representations, and resolved accordingly. Obeying their orders in appearance, they left - Paris; bat went just outside the barriers, where -wine is much cheaper then Therstheyrested till the afternoon, regaling themselves by help of the fund 'intrusted to them for travelling -expenses. They next separated into -bodies of three or four hundred each, reentered the barriers, and marched in the direction of the H8tel de Ville. One of these bodies, as if by previous concert, made its way to the Palace of the Luxembourg, and called for an interview with the Executive Commission: M. Marie received five of their number as a deputation: but, perceiving that the spokesman of the five was a man who was a-prominent leader in the at- taekounthe Assembly. on the 15th of May; heobjected to-deal with them- through such a head---saying, " You:are not the slaves of this man; you can explain your own grievances." The other four did so; were listened to with muchpatience-andat great length; and.in the end were coun- selled to return-to obedience, and to trust to the good intentions of the Government. Their comrades awaited them in the Place St. Sulpice. On joining these, the deputation told them that M. Marie had called the work- man " slaves.'?" They immecliatelyraised shouts of "Down with Marie!" "Down with the giecutive Commisaionl " and." Down with the Assem- blY I 7 Frustrated-in an-attempt to enter the church of St. Sulpice and sound the tocsin, the gates being - suddenly closed against them, they started :off-by the streets Vieux-Colombiery St. Dominique, and Dit.Bac,. singing to the atir.of . Des Lempions, " We will remain, we will remain! " They crossed. the river, and 'came- to the plaoe in front of the H8tel de Ville; where most-of the-other divisions of their companions, returned from the.berriers; had already arrived.._ Thence,-separating again, they marched in 'divisions to the various points of -Paris in the Northern, Eastern, and Solidi-eastern fienbourgs;- where afterwards the work of insurrection was begun. During the whole evening there was much trooping and counter- marching, and noisy demonstrations of the general bodyof the workmen; but-there was no open violenoe of any sort. The-Government-seemed to take-no notics of the contempt shown- to- their, orders by the rebellious threw thousand. The might-was passed in -uneasiness and watching; the citizens fully-expecting an outbreak.

At early.morn on Friday, there were 'still no signs of.whatwas.coming. Immense- preparations were made by the Government to secure the safety of the National Assembly. An army of troops surrounded it; troops crowded- with the representatives -under the- roof of its hall.; and fifteen pieces of cannon were placed in position round about At ten o'clock news came that serious work had began at the Porte St. Denis and the Porte-St.-Martin. The rappel had-already been beating for some time: the generale was now substituted; the citizens ran to arms—somewhat slowly at first, but in good faith, and at last in full force: and troops were seen moving in masses, and along the quays and the boulevards leading to the North. The -National. Guard arrived first at the gate of St. Denis, and found; that formidable barricades had been raised across the boulevard &stand West of the gate; also across the -Rue de .Clery, and the other streets which like it start from the gate and radiate downwards into. the city of Paris. Another great barricade was -raised Northward, after entering the. Faubourg de St--Denis. The object -seemed to be to seize. a . strong point, though an isolated. one, which might serve as example and encouragement to a-more general movement. The first parties of National Gitanis who arrived were small.. A barricade was attacked; but the resistance. was-- strenuous, and the assailants retreated, leaving a dozen . companions dead. The attack was renewed with greater force, and the bard- eado-was actually mounted; but the defenders were so numerous, and so Well supported by- cross-firing from the windows of the houses which Beaked the post, that few of the assailants got among the defenders, and they wereovezpowered. The National Guam's retreated a second time, leaving . twenty -more ,of4heir comrades dead: A third ttack with reinforcements was successful.. Among those who fought and fell here, were two women: a French journal relates the manner of their death- " The man who carried the flag fell dead. One of the females, a young woman neatly dressed, picked up the flagoind leaping.over the barricade, rushed towards the National Guards, uttering language ot provovation. Although the fire con- tinued from the barricade, the National G f acing to injure this female, humanely abstained for some time from retur liog it, and exhorted her to with- drew. Their exhortations, however, were vain: at length self-preservation com- rlled them to fire; and as the woman was infrontof the barricade, a shot reached

r, and she was killed. The other femide then advanced, took the flag, and began to throw stones at the National Guards. The fire from the barricade had become feeble,-but several shots were fired from the sides, and from the windows of houses; sad the National Guards in returning the fire killed the second female."

"At test, only one man remained at the barricade; bat he kept up a constant discharge. One of the National Guards left the ranks sword in hand, and rushing tb the turned aside the musket of this man just as he was await 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 the National Guards from de- - tacked parties of the insurgents, and from the windows of the houses of which they had taken forcible possession."

Thus the first barricade was won by the National Guards. Others were taken in a further hour or so; and at last the whole of the fortified post of the Porte St. Denis was recaptured from the insurgents. But while this

was doing, they were busy on other parts of their plan. The Porte St. Martin was converted into a similar citadel to that of St. Denis, and cost

more time and loss of life in the taking; for the numbers of the insurgents increased far more rapidly than those of the National Guards and troops. Thus the whole of Friday seems to have been spent; the insurgents mid-

titudinons and busy as ants, at barricading posts which they bravely ,de-- fended up to a certain point, and then yielded to retreat on other posts that had been rapidly seized and strengthened around them.

Another barricade near the Porte St. Martin was twice won and lost by the National Guards; and then won and held by a smaller force of the

Garde Mobile, who performed feats of surprising prowess. In the second attack,;- which was made by a very large body of Guards, the insurgents were driven from the barricade to the houses: thither they were followed,

but to the fatal disorganization of the pursuers; who were killed in such multitudes in the lower rooms, that these were evacuated and a retreat wee effected. The houses were most skilfully prepared for defence— pierced with loopholes—ways cut from one house to another, so that each house could be defended as a separate post. As a house was lost, it was . laid bare of all defensive apparatus, and made assailable from the one nest retired to. Mattresses were placed at the windows, from behind which to take secure and cool aim. Numbers of women assisted in arranging fur. niture, -in casting ballets, and tending the wounded. Thus the attackers- of the barricade were terribly slaughtered when they followed its defenders. into the houses. The Guards retired leaving scores of their dead cool, rades in the doorways. A battalion of the Garde Mobile moved up, and at - sight of the dead strewed thickly about, attacked the barricade and houses with irresistible fury. The street became covered with a

gory mire, and the killed actually formed heaps of defence for the survivors. The houses were rapidly penetrated, and men were hurled from the highest windows and from the house-tops: some women- were killed, and every man that could not escape perished. Fright- ful imprecations were uttered on both sides; and no quarter was • given or sought. The troops were fully in motion by about two o'clock; and wherever they or the National Guards appeared, they prevailed.. Ar-

tillery also was brought to bear. Some strong barricades raised late on Friday afternoon were attacked with cannon, ordered against them by IL Arago. It took some time to. demolish them; as they consisted for the r: most part of layers of paving-stones, many feet thick. A captain of artil,, lery was killed here; and great numbers of his men perished by bullets and missiles aimed from windows... By Friday evening great numbers had- fallen. An English eye-witness writes- " The usually gay and flaunting Boulevards present a mournful spectacle. The . soldiers are continually bearing by the bodies of their dead or wounded comrades; , and it is sickening to see the blood dripping from the broncards, or stretchers as . we should call them. Every shop, every cafe is closed, as no one knows what may happen during the night; and I can vouch, from ocular demonstration, that there are many barricades still to be taken. The rain has descended in torrents; but these insurgents, unlike our Chartists, are not to be damped off by showers, even of tnitruale."

It was observed that the National- Guard - turned out slowly, but when once in motion it was stanch. The stanohnessof the Garde Mobile had been much doubted, as its ranks were filled chiefly from the working . classes: but it proved quite faithful, and was almost equal in efficieney to the regular troops. The roll of musketry--continued till late at night, bat was not heard at dawn of Saturday; so that it was thought the insurgents - had succumbed. But the peculiar features of this -rising—its universality throughout the working classes, and its skilful organization—first clearly ap- peared on Saturday, morning. It was then plain that the working of the pro- ceding day had been done on a grand and connected male. Numberless bar* cicadas were won on Friday afternoon and evening; but during the night the insurgents had totally outstripped the attempts at repression, and extended themselves over nearly one half-of Paris. The Porte St. Denis and Porte So. Martin had been taken and refortified; the whole of the district bs-- tween them and the Temple; the Temple itself; the district Popincoartv the whole of the Faubourg and most of the Quartier &Antoine to the river . —in one great segment of a circle. Then the whole of the district lying between the two streets of St. Denis and St. Martin to the bridges; the bridges themselves; the Clod; the Rue de in Harpe, Rue St. Jacques,. and all the Quartier St. Jacques; and the Faubourg St. Marceau. The in- surgents had regular commandants and organized districts of command. The •

head-quarters of the North were in the Temple, those of the South in the Pantheon and Church of St. Severin; the command in chief was in the cen- tral point of the Cite, where the Hospital of the Hotel Dieu was seized, and, in carelessness of the sick multitudes disturbed by the intrusion, converted into the bureau of the leaders of the movement. Who these were is one of the mysteries of the movement; for the hitherto acknowledged leaders - of the Ultra-Democracy were found on the side of order. Lagrange and Caussidiere, for instance, accompanied the generals of the troops, and tried by all persuasions to induce the workmen to submit. In many instances during the day they were successful, and barricades -were regained by their aid-without blows.

It is difficult to judge the numbers of the combatants: the numbers of" the regular troops even is stated at widely-discrepant figures. The insur- gents, at their most numerous time, on Saturday at noon, are believed to: have mustered nearly 100.000 men, actually engaged under arms or In fortifying posts. The latter service must have absorbed an enormous amount 'of labour; as several hundred thousand tons of material were moved by human hands in the course of the contest. The regular troops were in ceaseless activity. At dawn of Saturday morning, the appearance of some cavalry regiments who bivouacked on the Boulevards is thus described- " The soldiers, who had been on duty from a very early hour, completely over- come, were extended everywhere on the footpath sleeping, having their helmet and sword laid beside them. Some tended the horsea who in thousands occupied the carriage-road. This state of things continued until three o'clock; when the trumpets and drums again sounded, the cavalry and artillery mounted, and itt• lanky formed, and marched off to another scene."

Astillery being used-on Saturday to a far greater extent than on Fridayk,, leas was seen of the deeds of this day by those who describe than.- • As a measure to facilitate the circulation of the troops and guards, on Friday, orders bad been issued that no person not under arms should

leave his house. This order was disregarded, at some personal peril, by the reporters of the press till Saturday morning; but by that time it was so rigorously enforced that the newspaper reports could no longer be consecu- tive or consistent; the chief source of information thenceforward was the irregular bulletins given by or to the members of the National Assembly. We turn therefore to the proceedings of that body. On Friday afternoon, M. Gamier-Pages had stated to the Assembly, that the Executive Committee had given the whole executive power into the hands of General Cavaignac, the Minister of War, to adopt on his uncon- trolled responsibility whatever military or civil measures he deemed fittest to preserve the Republic: supreme power they had not delegated, but absolute and uncontrolled executive power they had. M. de Lamartine had also requested the Assembly to declare itself in permanence till the strife should be at an end. The act of the Executive Commission had been confirmed, and the request of M. de Lamartine been adopted. General Le Breton had proposed that a certain number of Representatives should be delegated by the Assembly to go out among the people and en- deavour to persuade them to return to allegiance to the authorities; also to cheer the National Guards. The proposal had been negatived; but mem- bers were allowed to go in their individual capacity. Several accordingly had gone, and some had suffered for their zeal; for in the afternoon, M. Bixio and M. Domes had both been dangerously wounded at the barri- cades. M. Arago had made extraordinary exertions: he ascended num- bers of barricades, and spoke to the defenders, beseeching them to yield: often he had succeeded, and descended among the workmen to receive their submission: many times, however, he had been unsuccessful, and had been even fired at; but he had always escaped unwounded, and had led the National Guards and troops to many successful assaults, after his voice had proved of no avail. M. de Lamartine had been leader of the attack on several barricades, and had worked with indefatigable zeal and bravery.

On Saturday morning- at ten o'clock, the whole of the Faubourg St. Antoine, a large portion of the Marais, and the Clog St. Lazare, were in- tersected by myriads of barricades, constructed with such skill and solidity that artillery was found ineffectual against them. The insurgents had seized upon four cannon with three limbers, coming from Vincennes; which, however, in their confined position had been of little use to them. About that time, General Cavaignac issued the following notice-

" If at noon the barricades are not removed, mortars and howitzers will be brought, by which shells will be thrown, which will explode behind the barricades and in the apartments of the houses occupied by the insurgents."

A few minutes after noon it was proclaimed by an universal roar of ar- tillery that the clemency of General Cavaignac had brought no submis- sion.

In the National Assembly, the President moved the adoption of a de- cree, " That the widows and children of all who fall in the present strife on the side of order should be adopted by the State." This was carried by acclamation. But an addition to the decree was proposed by M. Jules Fevre, " That the Executive Committee should cease its functions." M. Favre's amendment raised a tremendous turmoil. M. Duclerc conjured him not to turn a decree of safety into a decree of rancour. A majority exclaimed against the addition; and it was not added. A considerable minority, however, were for it; and thence, one supposes, the succeeding step, taken a short time after: the President appeared with this written message from the Executive Committee- " Monsieur be President—The Executive Committee would think that it would be wanting alike in its honour and its duty if it withdrew before a sedition and a public peril. It withdrew only on a vote of the Assembly. By remitting to it the power with which they were invested, they return to the ranks of the National Assembly, to devote themselves with you to the common danger and to the safety of the Republic.

"ARAGO, LEDRIT-ROLLIN, GARNIER-PAGS, LAMARTINE, MARIE,

The members of the Executive Committee.

" PAGNERRE, Secretary."

In the course of the evening, the late members of the Executive Com- mittee were seen sitting as private members of the Assembly among the other Representatives.

The President read this proposed decree, reenacting two measures, and enacting one- " 1. That the Assembly remain en permanence. 2. That Paris be declared in a state of siege. 3. That all the authority be placed in the hands of General Cavaignac." M. Larabit rushed to the tribune, gesticulated violently, in the tumult, and descended unheard. M. Lagrange sprang to the tribune. "I wish," he said, "to say only a single word. You are well aware that I never troubled your meetings. You know that I did all I possibly could to pre- serve union amongst us. You know that I was ready to proceed amongst the people—amongst my comrades of the barricades—and say to them, 'In the name of your wives, in the names of your children, cease this desperate struggle.' But now that you have raised a war-cry, that you have passed the decree which you havejust agreed to, I cannot promise them that their wives and children will be saved. May your conscience be as light as mine! Never will I mingle in a com- bat of brother against brother." (Agitation.) A Voice—" To pacify." M. Caussidiere—" I also protest against the state of siege." (Great agitation.)

The decree was carried.

The President made a request on the part of General Cavaignac-

Such members as might think fit to proceed to address the National Guards or populace, to say to them what their conscience dictated, should go to the three following places of rendezvous,—the Porte St. Denis, where General Lamoriciere commanded ; the Hotel de Ville, where General Davivier was placed ; and the Place de la Sorbonne, where General Damesne held the chief command. The Re- presentatives ought to assemble at the Questors' office, and proceed with their scarfs on to mark their quality. Shortly afterwards, between fifty and sixty Representatives left the Chamber, each wearing his scarf; and went over the bridge to visit the va- rious posts where the insurrection was most actively urged on.

At about nine p.m., the President gave information of the progress of the citizens and troops- " You are aware that the commands were divided into three: the plan adopted has been to send large forces on certain points, leaving others unattacked for the moment. In the Faubourg St. Jacques where the insurgents had concentrated a great part of their forces, the barricades were forced; and that district is now completely or nearly disengaged. The Faubourg St. Marceau resisted a longer time; but General BMeau at last obtained a like success, and carried the barri- cades of the Rue Mottifetard as far as the Jardia des Plantes." So far on the South of the Seine: on respecting the Northern bank, he continued—" At the Hatel de Ville, General Duvivier has not as yet obtained all the success which be could have hoped for, owing to the difficulties of the quarter: he has, however, driven the insurgents far from the Hotel de Ville, which is now disengaged. on the North of Paris the state of things was this—" General Lamoriciere has mat the greatest difficulties but the Faubourgs St. Denis, St. Martin, and Poissonroeso, are cleared to the barriers, and the circulation has been reestablished. A point remains on which nothing has been done—the Clos St. Lazare, where the insur- gents have intrenched themselves in the Hospital Louis Philippe. General Ls- moriciere declares that tomorrow he will force it." He also stated that the Na- tional Guards had come in from these departments—Rouen, Amiens, Beauvais, Clermont, Choisy, Chalons, Versailles, Buell, Melon, Poictoise, and others.

Many of the Representatives now returned with news of whet groat ef- fect in raising the zeal of the Guards the Assembly's three decrees had pro- duced; and with news of success on all the great concentrated attacks: ultimately, it was announced that the insurgents retained only one place of strength—the tremendous Clos St. Lazare. This place was so strong by natural position—an elevated plain, covered with half-built houses, a partly-erected hospital, and an unfinished church—and by the immense numbers and diligence of its defenders, that General Cavaignac hardly ex- pected to win it except by bombarding it next day with guns of great rang. from the overlooking heights of Montmartre.

M. Arago informed the Assembly that the mails had all gone regularly, although the rails of the Northern Railway had been taken up as far as the irst station, by the Company in forced compact with the insurgents. The insurgents themselves carried the mails that they intercepted, to ther point

where the rails began, and intrusted them to the Company's keeping. '

This day was fatal to many men of high name and promise. General Ne- grier, the hero of Constantine, was shot through the heart as he mounted a bar- ricade, and fell waving his men on to the charge. M. Biillo, a gall9tR.

presentative, who hastened from the Assembly at the first onibreak,aial passed over to the insurgents in many quarters, urging them to return to

peace, was shot on a barricade, and fell dead among the workmen, holcling his hands and tricolour scarf aloft. General Bedeau lies in danger from& broken thigh; General Clement Thomas was badly wounded in several

places. M. Domes was wounded, it is feared mortally. M. de Lamartine and M. Pierre Bonaparte both had horses shot under them, but escaped without hurt.

On Sunday, the Assembly met at six in the morning, to hear the man* of events; but adjourned till eight o'clock, after the President had com- municated this digest of news-

" The night has passed over in perfect quiet; and, what is still better, therein a certainty now that order will be quickly restored in the quarters where the re- sistance has been most desperate. The whole of the left bank of the river is now pacified; strong patrols occupy the Quartiers St. Jacques and St. Marceau, and nowhere meet with any obstacle. The Barrieres of Fontainebleau, Arcueil, and. Enfer, are held by the troops of the Line and the National Guards. Early this morning, I received a deputation of the most respectable citizens of the twelfth arrondissement, who stated to me the anarchy that prevailed in the ranks of the National Guards and in the municipal administration of that district. General Cavaignac at once took measures to meet the evil; and prepared a decree, confiding to three members of the National Assembly—MM. Vaulabelle, Trorissard, and Deludre—the provisional administration of the arrondissement and the reorgani- zation of the National Guard. The accounts from the right bank are also of a fa- vourable character. General Davivier is no longer circumscribed within a narrow space round the Hotel de Ville; and the insurrection has completely died away in that quarter. General Lamoriciere has taken energetic measures to put down all insurrection in the neighbourhood of the Rue do Temple and the Faubourg St. An- toine; and I am confident that in a few hours I shall have to announce the com- plete suppression of the insurrection. The greatest discouragement prevails amongst the insurgent party; and the workmen who joined in it in the places where it was heaviest express the greatest sorrow, and declare they did not know what they were doing." These anticipations were premature, however. The struggle was main- tained with the most phrensied strength of purpose on each side. The combat at the Pantheon was of the most determined character. During fifteen hours the fire never ceased. The Eleventh Legion first advanced to the attack; but it was received with such a fire from the colonnade of the Pantheon as forced it to retire on the Rue St. Jacques. Two hours after- wards, the Garde Mobile endeavoured to take the houses in construction which surround it. The fire was murderous: more than a hundred of the Mobile fell under the balls of the insurgents, who forced them to intrench themselves in the Ecole de Droit. About one o'clock more troops of the Line arrived to the assistance of these brave young fellows: the !brow in concert broke through the railings of the Pantheon, and gained the interior, where the insurgents had established their head-quarters.

Here evidences of a cruelty almost incredible are said to have been die- covered,—the disembowelled trunks of men, impaled; men lying not yet dead with their hands and feet lopped off; men with their ears or noses cut off, or eyes scooped out! The accounts of these things are found in French as well as foreign papers. The Pantheon was a great centre of defence, and its loss a heavy blow to the insurgents. The fighting now seemed to grow yet more ferociously cruel in its mode. Women, in numbers, appeared at the windows, and fired pistols and guns or cast missiles; and waved scarves or other things in demoniac triumph when successful in their aim. General Brea and his Aide-de-camp were massacred by the insurgents at the Barriere de Fontainebleau. The General had already been wounded in an attack on a preceding day, but had resumed set vice. His death WO in this wise: a captured insurgent was about to be shot by the Garde Mo- bile, savage at the fatal success of his musket: General Brea threw himself before the prisoner, and entreated the captors to spare him: the appeal had scarcely passed his lips, when the ruffian who stood behind him pulled out a pistol and shot the General dead. The Aide-de-camp was shot himself immediately afterwards. Both bodies were captured by the insurgents, and beheaded.

Great progress was this day made by the regular troops, on both sides of the river, in the reduction of the revolt. The chief fighting was hence- forward at the Faubourg St. Antoine in the centre, at the Temple and Clos St. Lazare on the right, and at the river-banks On the left of the in- surgent position North of the Seine.

General Cavaignac issued this decree on the morning of the 25th.

" LIBERTY—EQUALITY—FRATERDILTY.

"The Chief of the Executive Power—In virtue of the decree of the National Assembly, which places the city of Paris in a state of siege resolves— ' "The Prefect of Police, and every agent of the public arcs, on the view of this present decree will cause to be arrested the citizen Emile de Girardin; and-to-tap' press the journal La Presse.

"The Prefect of Police will immediately 'oda. the-seisarsof pi% peas whieh hy_their hostile publication prolong the struggle which is embrning .capital in Mood and compromising the safety of the Republic." In` the afternoon, M. Girardin was arrested, and the following papers put under interdict at their printing-offices during the "state of siege." La patine, La Revolution de 1848, L'Organization du Travail, La Vraie Repub- lique, L'Assettsblee Nationale, Le Napoleon Republicain, La Liberti, L'Aima- bie Farebourize, Le Lampion, Le Pere Duchesne, Le Pilori—all papers whose

writings were considered to enfeeble the constituted authority. • . .

In the Assembly, contiunous reports of the progress of the troops were brought in. That body began to think of rewards. M. Ducoux rose and proposed an expression of thanks to the National Guards; but in doing so committed an unlucky blunder of speech— "The National Guard of Paris," said M. Ducoux, "which yesterday seemed struck with stupor—" [A dreadful uproar greeted this expression. A number of Representatives addressed the orator in the strongest language of blame. He endeavoured, by word and gesture, to procure a hearing; but in vain. At last the whole Assembly rose with a cry of Vise la Garde Nationale! "] M. Ducoux—" I regret the word stupor which I used—(Renewed agitation)— but I did not mean to express any mistrust of that body, or to throw out any of- fensive insinuation against it. It is certain that yesterday the National Guard did not much leave their houses; that they kept at the corners of the streets— (Marks of great disapprobation)—did not, in fact, rally round their chiefs— (Criss of" Yes, yes, t&y,didi ")—whereas today they responded with eagerness to the call made on them. Great excitement still prevailing, M. Dueler° rose to rppease it and help M. Ducoux; but made matters worse— "I do not wish to dwell on the expression just employed; which certainly WILS unfortunate. The National Guard and the insurgents had on both sides fought with too much determination—(loud uproar)—and courage "—(The uproar con- tinued. Cries of" Begone, begone!" "Viva la Garde National ") The speaker was silenced. M. Larochejaquelin thought a loud and solemn denial ought to be given to de- testable rumours which were in circulation, that the National Assembly was go- verned with the feeling of " wo to the vanquished!" Terrible agitation ensued; in the midst of which M. Larochejaquelin continued to gesticulate, but could not obtain a hearing. The feeling of the Assembly appeared to be indignation at such a sentiment being aitributed to it. The appearance of M. Laroehejaquelin in the tribune at that moment also seemed to irritate the Assembly; and a voice was heard to exclaim, "We want no Carlists !" He was obliged at last to quit the tribune.

"The sitting was suspended. Immediately after a tremendous explosion of voices took place at the left entrance of the ball; M. Rsynal and another Repre- sentative contending in the loudest manner, apparently about the imputation cast on the National Guard. At one moment they seemed on the point of coming to blows; but the other Deputies separated them.

We close Sunday's record with the President's evening bulletin of events out of doors-

" The troops of the Republic were in possession of the greater part of the strong-hold of the insurgents; the Ninth, Marie had been taken, and the other points towards the Faubourg St. Antoine, but an immense loss of blood. Never had anything like it been seen in Paris. (Great sensation.) The Clos St. La- we was in possession of the troops, and only a few dropping shots were now heard. All would thatnight, he hoped, be finished. The troops had behaved most admirably. The Eighth Marie, the last strong-hold of the insurgents, was then being attacked." The President read a proclamation to the insurgent workmen, of a conciliatory character.

The venerable Archbishop of Paris was a martyr in the endeavour to re- store peace. He waited on General Cavaignac, to ask him if it were for- bidden to carry to the insurgents words of peace and conciliation. The General declined either to permit or forbid: the attempt would be highly dangerous, but the people would doubtless be greatly moved. The Arch- bishop resolved to go. He returned to his palace, called to his side his two Grand Vicars, and with them presented himself at the foot of the column of the Bastile. The Colonel in command of the troops ordered the firing to be stopped; a branch was broken from a tree on the boulevard, and borne before the Archbishop as a sign of peace by the two Grand Vicars. The venerable pastor mounted the barricade, and impressively blessed the wild men below him; who in reverence stayed their fire as the regular troops had done. The Archbishop had begun to speak to them of peace and submission, when a suddea drum-roll was heard; the insurgents were agitated, and suspected treachery; a shot was fired—whence, it is unknown —the soldiers and the insurgents resumed a miscellaneous firing; and the Archbishop, struck by a bell in the loins, fell as if dead. The insurgents crowded up on the barricade, lifted him in their arms, bore him to the rear, and laid him in the house of the Cure des Quinze-Vingts; tending him with solicitous gentleness, and weeping at the misfortune of his wound.

"On the way," says the Constitutionnel, "he was escorted by some Gerdes Mobiles. The physiognomy of one of these brave lads had struck him, having seen him fight and disarm his enemy, after being wounded several times. Calling him to his side, he had strength enough left to raise his arms, and taking a little wooden crucifix attached to a black collar which he had, he gave it to the young hero, saying to him, ' Never quit this cross! lay it on your heart—it will make yon happy. Francis Delavrigniere, such was his name, swore, with his hands joined and in the attitude of prayer, ever to preserve this precious souvenir of the dike prelate."

Assured that his dissolution was at hand, the good Archbishop received the last sacrament: shortly afterwards, he died, blessing all around, and praying to God that his blood might be the last shed under such circum- stances.

Many anecdotes of personal heroism are given: here are two—

"An old soldier served in the Third Legion of the National Guard. His eldest son fell, wounded by a ball, into his arms. As he was taking him from the ranks, another ball struck the young man, and killed him. The father at once returned home and ordered his second son to come out and take his brother's place."

Young Martin Hyacinthe, only eighteen years of age, a simple Garde Mobile, rushed on a formidable barrier of the Faubourg du Temple, in the face of a shower of balls, took the flag which surmounted it, and would not part with it in fight- ing. When the battalion returned to the head-quarters of General Cavaignac, the young soldier was presented to him. General Cavaignac, taking off his cross, immediately placed it on the breast of the gallant youth, amidst the applause of the persons assembled.

On Monday morning, the President of the Assembly announced that the insurrection had been completely put down on the left bank of the Seine, and that the thoroughfares there had been everywhere opened. Great progrees.had been made on the North side also: the fighters were broken into isolated bodies and were confined chiefly to the Faubourg St. Antoine, and the East banks of the Canal Martin and the Clos St. Lazare, with its neighbourhood; Westward to the Church of St. Vincent le Paul and Northward to the city-wall and the heights of Montmartre. The chief fighting of Monday was along the Canal St. Martin, and at the Chas St. Lazare and its neighbourhood. The strength of the latter post is particularly dwelt on in all the reports, and marvellous resistance it offered.

The barricades in advance of the barriers were as formidable as regular en- gineers could have constructed, and were built of paving-stones of a hundred- weight each, and blocks of building-stone cut for building a hospital, and weigh-

ing tons. The houses covering them were occupied. The toll-houses at the barrier,' were occupied, and the windows removed. The houses on the opposite side of the Boulevard were, moreover, in the possession of the rebels, and manned with marksmen. What formed, however, the strength of their position, was the perforation of the wall of the city, which is twelve or fourteen feet high, at inter- vals of eight or ten yards, for a mile in length, with several hundred loopholes of

about six inches diameter. During all Saturday and Sunday, a constant and deadly fire was kept up from these loopholes, on troops who could hardly see their opponents. " The defenders," writes an eye-witness, "ran from loophole to

loophole with the agility of monkeys. They only left the cover of the high wall to

seek ammunition, of which they had only a scanty and precarious supply. I was shown the mark of the crucible under the wall in which they melted lead tor bullets

during the fight: they even attempted to fabricate gunpowder. What will be the

astonishment of all the world, and the feeling of all military men in particular, when they are told that the whole of these works were defended by between 80 and IN ruffians! The largest number stated was 400. How many of the in- surgents were killed on Sunday at the Barriere Rochechouart, think you, while the loss of the armed force was more than 1,000? Two—one of them shot through the brain while firing through a loophole not six inches in diameter. Five were wounded."

General Lamoriciere at last stopped the attempts of his men to take such a fortress with guns and bayonets. Heavy artillery and mortars were brought into position. The houses were shelled by the bombardiers, exploded by the miners, and reduced to ruins. The city-wall was breached in multitudes of places. Still the soldiers were held back, and the artil- lery was made to form a clear way through the most defensible parts. The troops then poured in at about noon, and every remaining defender was put to death.

This done the great attack was directed against the Faubourg St. An- toine, which was surrounded on all the Paris-ward aides by troops. The

houses were shelled, and bombarded with red-hot balls, as in case of a re-

gular siege; they were set on fire in many places, and numbers of insur- gents perished in that way. The canal was red with blood, and received

multitudes of the slain. The insurgents here, as in other places, believed that every one of them taken by the soldiers was instantly to be killed, and they fought with the ferocity of despair.

The cruelties of the preceding days on the South of the Seine are said to have been surpassed here. The French papers repeat instances similar

to those previously described, and add that others too fearful to be de-

scribed were common. Among the devices of defence, was that of pro- jecting turpentine from an engine on the houses gained by the soldiers in a

stream, and then blazing missiles were cast to set the turpentine on fire.

Stratagems of poisoning were practised. Women stole among the soldiers with poisoned bread, brandy, and milk, and caused the death of many. Some soldiers taken were killed by women executioners, who quartered their bodies, and bore the dismembered remains abroad on pikes and swords. Towards the evening of Monday, it became evident that the insurrection was beyond all hope of success. Many prisoners were made. A body of 1,500 of these were the subject of a tragic incident: as they passed, un- armed, towards the vaults of the Tuileries under escort, a mass of the Garde Mobile were stimulated to take a revenge; a volley was fired into the midst of them as they marched, and above a hundred fell dead. The citizens were gradually allowed to go abroad in the centre and West quar- ters of Paris. In every direction were passing numbers of the wounded or dead, and multitudes of houses were turned into temporary hospitals. Late in the evening, though all resistance was not everywhere quelled, General Cavaignac issued proclamation thanking the troops for their successful de- votion, and promising protection to all who should now surreuder.

On Tuesday morning, there was no longer any systematic opposition to the regular troops. The insurgents who refused to surrender were retreat- ing from Paris to the suburban villages, and dispersing towards the pro- vinces.

A number of fugitives entered the grounds of the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise, as it was thought to submit there to a merciful capture: but on being summoned by the Garde Mobile, they answered with shots, and a fight was waged for a considerable time among the tombs: many were kil- led, and those who were not captured fled to the open country.

In the afternoon, measures were taken to restore a peaceful regime. M. Armaud Marrast, the Mayor of Paris, on the permission of General Ca- vaignac, issued a proclamation to the Mayors of the Arrondissements, with these orders- " This state of things must cease this day. The inhabitants of Paris must be informed that they have perfect liberty in their relations and their affairs. The state of siege, even if the Assembly should judge fit to prolong it, bias nothing of- fensive for any peaceful citizen. I request you to neglect nothing to enable Paris to resume at once its usual aspect." On the other hand, General Cavaignac pursued measures of prevention. Some of the National Guards were not at their posts in defence of order on any day since the 22d. On Tuesday, the Eighth, Ninth, and Twelfth Legions of Guards were disarmed, and as soon as disarmed were dissolved. The inhabitants of Montmartre—for reasons not given—were disarmed, and a minute search of the quarries was set on foot. Many civil arrests were made; among them, that of M. Flotte, the Vice-President of Blanqui's Club.

The Assembly discussed a project of law for the punishment by trans- portation of all insurgents found with arms in their bands after the 22d of June. M. Meaulle used some expressions which led General Cavaignac to deny with warmth that he desired to try all the insurgents by courts-mar- tial: he had advised and used strenuous and even remorseless measures

while the strife lasted, but now that it had ceased severity should not be pushed to an extreme. Many members counselled an adjournment, that the discussion might be conducted in cool blood; others urged instant dis-

cussion and prompt legislation. The discussion became loud and violent. A voice above others shouted a sarcastic reference to the laconic despatch sent in by the Duke Decazes to General Donnadieu in 1816—" General Le Breton deprecated hesitation or delay, and gave reasons—

"After capturing the barricade at La Vilette, he entered the post of the Octroi,

where the chiefs of the insurgents had established their bead-quarters during 'three days. There he bad found documents, and had questioned persons who had • overheard conversations, which would lead to the discovery of the real authors of the conspiracy."

The sitting became so tumultuous that the President adjourned it. At s later sitting on the same day; the proposed law was carried; about forty Montagnerds protesting against it.

That evening, General Cavaignac announced from the tribune, that at the opening of the sitting next morning he should surrender the extra- ordinary powers that he had held for some days. Great agitation followed this announcement: many cried—" No, nol it is too soon "; and the As- sembly appeared horror-struck at the prospect of being left to itself. General Cavaignac again ascended the tribune, and said—" The Republic ought to be jealous of according its power; but also each man here ought to be jealous to show that he does not desire it longer than circumstances re- quire."

On Wednesday, the aspect of Paris was tranquil: the citizens were busy tending the wounded, and restoring their dilapidated city. The Journal des Debate describes some effects of the firing in the Quartier Latin from the river Southwards to the end of the Faubourg Marceau- " The columns of the facade of the Pantheon are almost all damaged; the figures in front are defaced, broken, and some of them destroyed. Two colossal statues placed in the interior, one representing La Republique, the other the ge- nius of tismortaliie, were destroyed by the effect of the cannon. A painting, a copy of Raphael, was pierced by a ball. A stage has been raised under the cu- pola, on which repose the bodies of two victims of the fury of the insurgents. The church of St. Etienne bears the marks of cannon-shot: the top of the spire bas been broken. The front of every house in the Rue St. Jacques is completely riddled with balls. Every projecting wall or doorcase is likewise broken; but the portion still more damaged is the lower part. The barricade placed there was bravely attacked by the Republican Guard, and captured with the assistance of cannon?'

General Changarnier arrived on Wednesday from Algiers, and took his 'seat in the Assembly.

At the evening sitting of the Assembly, General Cavaignac resigned his extraordinary powers.

" It is necessary," he said, "that the Assembly be perfectly independent in its action. In presence of the great events which were passing, I at once accepted

• the powers confided to me; but now that the exceptional circumstances have ceased, I think it becomes me to retire to my former position. Looking, bow- --ever, at the still troubled state of the public mind, and in order to forward the restoration of order, I think that it will be necessary to-still continue for some days the state of siege now established. Having submitted to you these con- siderations, I have the honour of rendering to you the power which you com- mitted to me. I omitted to say that the Ministry has sent me in their resigns- . tion."

The Assembly rose, and saluted General Cavaignac with immense accla- mations as be descended from the tribune. It was at once voted that he had merited well of the country; and, at his suggestion, the troops of the Line, and the Guards National and Moveable, were included in the thanks. A decree was then proposed to intrust to General Cavaignac the Executive power, with the title of "President of the Council," and authority to choose his own Ministers.

Is!. Portalis suggested that the decree should be divided into two parts. General Cavaignac had not much experience as a politician, and might choose a Ministry which would not be permanent A confused scene en- sued; which was ended by General Cavaignac himself demanding that the decree be separated into two parts, so that the liberty of opinion might be perfect in the decision upon the whole. It was then done. The first part was affirmed unanimously. The second part also was affirmed; but 30 Members of the Mountain " party voted against it. The ensemble of the . decree was affirmed against a minority of about 20; and the Assembly . adjourned.

At a late sitting on the same day, General Cavaignac announced his selection of Ministers- Senard Bastide Gondehanx Bethmont Lamoriciere Carnet Thonret Recnrt Adnairal Leblanc The first five names were received with great applause; that of Carnot -cwith a burst of indescribably violent objections; that of. Recurtwith dis- approbation; and that of Admiral Leblanc with loud condemnation. Ob- jection was made to Admiral Leblanc, that his want of a seat in the Assembly disqualified him: but it was held that General Cavaignac's corn- -mission to form a Ministry was absolutely unrestricted; and the objection Was overruled. It was the memory of Carnat's circular under the Provi sional Government, alleging that want of education was even an advantage to a representative, that produced the violent demonstration against him now. General Cavaignac Ministry has not on the whole added to his . popularity, and it is said that he appeared mortified at the reception given to his nominations.

Soon after the supreme executive power was transferred to General Cavaignac by the late Commission, the General had a long interview with 'M. Thiers; but it is understood that they did not agree in their views of public affairs, and the conference led to nothing further.

The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle gives these indications of .matters that have come under the inquiry of the Committee appointed to ascertain the causes of the insurrection- " One of its first acts was to address a circular to the provincial authorities, -calling upon them for copies of all telegraphic despatches, &c. sent to them by the :Government within the last ten days. The fact, as far.as I can learn, is this. The Government was quite aware, for some days previously, that the insurrection was about to break out; and the Minister of War consequently gave orders for a , fresh supply of troops being sent to the capital, which orders were to be trans- mitted to the military authorities in the provinces by telegraph. These orders, it , is said, were never sent; and as the telegraph is in the department of the Minister of the Interior, it remains with him to say why they were suppressed. Some of the Insurgent prisoners do not hesitate to assert that they had friends in- the Go- Yernment, who would have moved in their favour had an opportunity occurred. This may account for the manner in which the- insurgents were allowed to com- plete the barricades without interruption. It may also form an appropriate corn- Monter, on thethreat. &ratan out by hi.

" The heat-was intolerable-97 and 98,degreess the menwere in heavy march- ing order, and the knapsacks chafed the flesh of the back into wounds. The officer in command refused to make the slightest halt, though the men were fall- ing in the ranks as if in a battle. Of the detachment that left Schmeigel at seven in the morning, there were lying in the hospital at Kosten by nine o'clock in the evening, 18 dead; on the previous day it also suffered much, but note° fatally; 30 men were left at Schmeigel, unable to proceed. The men offered to peY for carts to carry -their knapsacks, and petitioned for an hour's halt at noon; but they were ordered on, till the above loss was the result. The bodies of the de- ceased men were buried immediately, as decay commenced directly after death, and progressed with frightful rapidity : one large grave was dug, and the bodies hurriedly committed to the earth in the presence of the regiment and the in- habitants of•Kooten. Some of-the Polish peasantry, seeing the exhausted con- dition of the soldiers, offered to lend their horses and carts to carry their aocoutre- ments for nothing; but it was refused. -The regiment has gone on to Magdeburg Aiwa imehintedd.othemembers, that in throwing outthehill for thereparchaae of nearly ins state of +mutiny." the railways, they might as well remember that the Ateliers.Nationaux were still deb°. uht. is now beyond a doubt, that at no period of the insurrection were any of the usual political cries used. The only inscriptions on the flags during the first two days were Ateliers Nationaux ' and 'Du tomtit ou la mort,' On the Sunday, to be sure, a more terrible inscription was to be seen on a few fiegs ; as it appears that a flag is now, in the. possession of the.National Assembly, on which are the words, Vainqueurs le pillage Vaincus rincendie l'-and another, which was not seized, 'La pillage et le roll' The people of Paris have made a greater escape than most of them imagine. "The number of prisoners in custody yesterday afternoon was 6,500. They were all aware that the city had been placed in ,a state of siege; and on being taken prisoners they fully expected to be shot. The sign by which they reeog.. nixed each other was a small osier twig, which each kept concealed in his sleeve. The leader was known by his switch being in the shape of a pitchfork. The chiefs had medals called raonneroris; and the medal had a certain number of notches according to the rank of the personage bearing it. It. appears, besides, that there is no doubt that the insurgents had a regular plan of government; that the names of the parties in the government were quite settled; and that among them figured some names which haveligured in high places since the Revolution. The examination of the prisoners by the Juges d Instruction ia.going on with great rapidity. They are divided into different classes, according to the amount of their importance in the movement "One of the principal prisoners, IL Flotte, was found to herein his possession a kisser passer' in the handwriting of M. de Lamartine, and another in that of M. Louis Blanc. Several letters from M. de Lamartine were seized at his house. "The search for arms in all parts of Paris is going on with great activity today. About 400 stand of arms were found in a house in the Marche St. Honore; and a great quantity of ammunition, Sm. in several of the hotels garnis in the same neighbourhood. Twenty-five thousand stand of arms have in all been seized."

An exact estimate of the loss of life /And the number of the wounded is at present unattainable. One set of returns obtained by the Assembly represented the killed on both • sides at from 3,000 to 4,000, and the • wounded at about twice that number; making a total of 104000. Other accounts are current, which swell the numbers to 10,000 killed and 20,000 wounded;- and we have heard an-estimate, based on official information, which gives the total killed and wounded in Paris at 50,000 persons. Four or five of the members of the Assembly are among the killed, and, about as many among the wounded. Fourteen Generals have been. put horads combat, several being killed. The loss in superior officers has been greater than in the most brilliant engagements during the. wars of Napoleon.

In the course of Wednesday some discoveries were made. Asum.of 11,000 francs in gold was found. in the pockets of a youth taken, in the Pantheon. Sums of gold of less amount were found on "gamma" of the poorest as- pect. It was stated that the office of the Minister of Commerce was searched by the authorities, and 30,000 francs in gold removed; but this appeared to be untrue. It was also stated that the Count -tde Narbonne was observed behind the barricades distributing money to the insurgents, and that he was afterwards taken by the-National Guards and summarily shot. [The Count has lived to address a letter to his friend the-Marquis de la Rochejaquelein, authorizing him to deny all the absurd reports that had been published about him.] M. Duclerc, the Minister of Finance, gave official countenance to these rumours, by declaring in the Assembly that the insurgents were urged on by foreign machinations, and supplied with foreign gold!

At Marseilles, serious disturbances occurred on the 22d and some- suc- ceeding days, which are believed to have had connexion with the rebellion in Paris. General St. Martin acted with- energy, and was reducing.the outbreak with his troops, when the civil authorities interfered and . gave the insurgents night for consideration, Next morning the disturbanceliad become extensive, and barricades were raised throughout the town. Gene- ral St. Martin resumed operations with great vigour, and before night, had retaken all the strongest defences. On the 24th he had. restored. order Some twenty persons were killed.

Bat-ea:rm.—King Leopold in -person opened the session of the Legislature on Monday. The King's speech gave, a favourable report on public af- fairs.

"In presence of the agitation which- so deeply excites Europe, Belgium has re- mained calm, confiding, and strong. The changes in the political state of several nations have not in any way altered our good international relations. Our official relations with the French Republic have been established on terms of mutual good- will. From all parts we have received testimonies, of sympathy and. esteem. * By means of the financial measures voted last session, our patriotic army has been maintained on a respectable footing of defence; we have sustained employment; the public treasury has been able to fulfil faithfully all its obliga- tions, and the burden of the floating debt has ceased to press on credit. "The

future will recompense the sacrifices of the past. • " We are passing through a period of difficulty for European society. • Belgium . will not allow herself to be diverted from the wise and sure path in which she has entered. By happy union, she has been enabled to reconcile stability -with pro- gress, and order with the practice of liberty in every shape."

Ps—The Ministerial crisis in Berlin has ended- in the formation of this Ministry, formed by M. Hansemann s. M. Auerswald, President of the Council; M. Schleinitz, Foreign Affairs; General Schreckenstein, War; M. Kulhwelter, Home; M. Haneemann, Finance•-M, Ifilde Commerce and Public Works; M. Rodbertus, Instruction, and' Public Worship;. M. Meer- ker, Justice.

Great excitement has been calmed in Berlin by an extraordinary occur- rence in connexion with the Nineteenth Regiment ofInfantry, on its march from Schnieigel to Masten in Posen. Several men of the regiment have been killed by. a- cruelmarch under a noon-day sun. Theme is narrated as &flows-

liossua.--The German press expresses great apprehension of -the inten- dans of the Emperor of Russia, and supplies facts to show that he medi- tates a violation of German territory. A writer from Riga gives some circumstantial details— "An article in the Maze, which appears in St. Petersburg, in the Russian lan- guage, states that 270,000 infantry and 70,000 cavalry (no special mention is made of artillery) have been made mobile on the German frontier, and that at the end of last month sixteen three-deckers lay ready for sail at Kronstadt. A mercantile friend at Kien states, that at the end of May,16,000 infiumry,mambed through that city towards the German frontier, and every day large transports of powder pass through Riga, for the same quarter. On Whitsunday, I myself counted 83 horse powder-waggons; and on the following day a transport of about 2,000 ammunition-waggons halted here, and set out to the evening. This has continued for the last week. the marching of the troops takes piece about sixteen leagues South of Riga. The East Sea Provinces also, notwithstanding their hum- ble addresses, are being garrisoned by the military. Medical men have been invited to join the military service; and if a sufficient number do not offer them- selves,a coercive conscription will be issued. It is impoasible that these measures can be din3cted against Poland; because 200,000 men are already stationed there."

Anwrota.—The account a from Innspruck, of the 23d June, agree in stating that the health of the Emperor, is very precarious. The physicians have advised him to change his residence to litchi. An Imperial procla- mation was issued at Vienna on the • 20th, stating that the Emperor's health would not allow him to open in person the National Assembly, as be bad promised. The Archduke John will be his representative, with full powers to act.

There had been partial outbreaks of the workmen at Vienna, aud there were fears of more serious ones. About 20,000 workmen had been kept by the State, and paid 25 kreutzers each, or a total amount of wages of from 8,000 to 10,000-florins per day. The Ministers had decided to deduct 5 per cent from all salaries and pensions amounting-to from 1,000 to 3,000 florins, and 10 per cent from those which exceeded 3,000.

Count Ziehy,, the former commandant of the city and fortress of Venice, has been tried by eourt.martial and condemned to death.

The latest accounts from Prague state that order had been reestablished by Count Windischgratz. The two Imperial Commissaries had returned to Vienna, having first confirmed the Prince in his military command, and invested him for the present-with the Civil Governorship of Bohemia.
