Our Special Despatches. THE INSURRECTION AT PARIS. Lonnon, Friday Evening, June 23, ‘The storm has burst at last, and with the fury of the tompest. When I last wrote, 1 was under the impres- ion that Paris was on the eve of great events. Fearful- ly have those forebodings been fulfilled. Blood has flowed like water in the streets of Paris—fifteen, some say twenty thousand, human beings have fallen fight- ing in the streets, which ran red with gore. Since tke ‘massacre of St. Bartholomew, such a terrible slaughter hes not been witnessed. All the fearful atrocities of civil war have been perpetrated; and yet it is dimfi- cult to abstain from shedding tears of admiration at the heroic courage of the insurgents—equalled only by the daring intrepidity of the lads (mere boys) of. the Garde Mobile. The streets of Paris have witnessed more deeds of heroism within the three days of June, than amy pen can describe. It is one of the bloodiest, and yet most memorable, pages of French history—but an awful responsibility weighs upon some persons, if, as ‘asserted, secret intrigues were in play; but ‘I am i clined to think that it was but the bursting of what had long been preparing—the workmen had been de- -coiveg, many were starving. Du pain ou la mort! was thecry. Brave men, worthy of a nobler grave, and a ‘better cause than that of civil war?

And how will all this end? The depths of society in France is stirred up from the very bottom, and it will take years to settle down again. ‘These aro wonderful times we live in. Theeffect of this revolution in Lon- .don was simply one of intense interest and conversa- tion. England is perfectly tranquil. ‘The revolution in Bohemia is completely put down, “The Emperor of Austria is still in the Tyrol. 1 do not think he will live long. Berlin is still very unsettled, though no new outbreak has occurred since the storm- ing of the arsenal. ‘The Danish war is in statu qu); no new engagement | has taken place; but the Danes and Swedes have deter- mined to resist against Germany to the utmost. ‘The whole of the Venetian territory, with the ex- ception of Venice, isin the hands of the Austrians, | ‘and negotiations for peace are set on foot—the media- tion of England has been accepted by the Austrian ernment, Italy has, however, appealed to France help; but she is too much occupied just now at home. ‘This Spanish question is still likely to prove ahard nut to the government, Isturitz, as you are aware, was dis- missed by Lord Palmerston, lesthe should impeach his | -ambassador, Isturitz arrived at Madridon the 224, and the next day was closeted with Sotomayor. Mean- time, the Spanish government had caused a long de- fence to be published, accusing Bulwer of all sorts of conspiracies against the Spanish government. Bulwer, it seems, had a laison with the sister of Portal, ome of the leaders of the insurrection at Seville, a married woman, and his love for her has, it is said, led him astray. All the English attaches have been recalled from Madrid ; aconsul alone remaining. This ques- tion is far from berg settled. ‘There is arumor in cer- tain diplomatic circles, that France was inclined to aide with Spain. - A civil war is raging with great fury in Hungary.

Lamar- tine’s star bas sunk—the whole of the executive power has resigned, and the following ministry has been formed : . ‘The National Astembly confides the «x cutive power | to General Cavaignac. | President of the Council.

Decidedly not. He will have his day. He is one of the many butterflies warmed into life from the crysalis state he was in, by the sun of the re- public. He will pair off with Louis Napoleon, which latter, by-the-bye bas started as a candidate for thé crown of Sicily, these good and brave Islanders hav- ing thrown off ail allegiance to the re Bombatore King -of Naple: Now that this fearful struggle in Paris is over, people Degin to wonder how it originated, and how it was pos- sible for the populace to withstand, for four days, one of the most disciplined armies in the world, command- ed by an experienced General, ‘The following extract from the letter of a gentleman who witnessed the whole affair, and who is well versed in the politics of the day, is werthy of attention :— “Panis, Wednesday evening. “In the six memorable days which have since the outbreak of the territle insurrection, which has now, fortunately for the world, been suppressed, the passing events of the day were so numerous and so fill- ed with interest, that we had hardly time to do more than record them. Now that the struggle is over, peo- ple are beginning to ask how it all came about, and what was the cause and origin of an insurree- rotion “which, for ferocity, obstinacy and length of endurance is unparalleled in the bistory of the world, From the details which you have alrendy had of the acts of the insurgents, and from the regular mi- litary plan on which the operations were carried on, it | must be evident that the insurrection, so far from be- ing a spontaneous and inconsiderate movement on the | part of ignorant oweriers, was an able and well- ° concocted military movement. arranged aceording to rule, carried out with steadiness and vigor, and the ‘whole p en of which shows that it was the work of a shrewd, intelligent, andexperienced military leader, Jeo quite clear that the insurrection was @ scheme long arranged, and thet when the insurgents com- menced their cperations, every one knew where he was to take up his pst, what he was to do, and to whom he was to look for orders. In the many hundreds of barricades thrown up during the eventful night of the 23d of February, there is not one which is misplaced; there is not one which is useless, and not | one was forgotten. When the military came to attack | the insurgents, they found, to their surprise, that in- | stead of having to do with a fow isolated parties of ouvriers, fighting from street to street, they had to at- | tack a regular line of works, rudely constructed, to be sure, but admirably constructed for their purpose, and Senard..... . Gen, Lamoricicre Rear Admiral Le Blanc. .. Goudchaux. . . extending from a point till they embraced nearly one- | So abl hulf of Paris. were the points of defenco choren, and compl as the line of barricades, that although the whole was thrown up in one night, without the knowledge of the inhabitants in general, and apparently without the knowledge of the authori- ties, it was eufficient, with an interior force, to keep 80,000 men, with 100,000 auxiliaries in the shape of National Guards, in check for four days, Not only was this the care, but it is now arcertained that at one time the insurrection was, as near as possible, gaining the victory. It will be recollected that the inrurgents, by their line of defence, secured the Pont St. Michel, and ano- ther bridge, which kept up the communication on both banks of the Seine. On Saturday, when Gen. Cavaig- nac ordered the attack upon the barricades, in the neighborhood of the Place Maubert, he was surprised at the obstinacy of the defence, and it was not till af- terwards that he discovered that he had hit on the the most important point in the lines of the insurgents, It was on the defence of that point that their commu- nication between che two banks of the Seine depended, and when Gen. Cavaignac took it, he had already half defeated their adversaries. Some of the insurgents have since acknowledged that that attack completely de- ranged their plans. At the same time, when it was made, they were just preparing to concentrate 30,000 of their men to attack the Hotel de Ville, and they cal- culated that the Hotel de Ville being once in their power, the entire victory would scon follow, and soe experienced military men think that in that opinion they were right. It must be evident from all this, that the danger Paris was in was much greater than we were aware of, and we may thank Providence that weare not at the present moment delivered up to the tender mercies of the Socialists. There is another part of the subject which is very cusious, and upon which it is to be hoped that the en- quiries now making before the committee of the Na tional Assembly will. throw some light. You will heve observed that Genoral le Breton, in his speech in the Assembly last night, threw out mysterious hints of re- yelations made, of papers discovered, and of persons im- plicated, whose names he would not mention. You will have also observed that among the first acts of the committee was that ofa circular addressed to th 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 faras I can learn, is this :—The government was quite aware, for some days previously, that the insurrection was about to break out, and the Mi- nister of War consequently gave orders for a fresh supply of troops being sent to the capital, which were to be transmitted to the military authorities in the provinces by telegraph. ‘These orders, it is said, were never sent; and, as the ry Bees is in the de- partment 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 Government, who would havo moved in their favor, had an opportunity occurred. This may account for the manner in which the insur- gents were allowed to complete the barricades without interruption. It may also form an appropriate com- mentary on the threat thrown out by M. Trelat, on ‘Thursday, in the Assembly, when he hinted to the members, that in throwing out the bill for the repur- chase of the railway, they might as well remember that the Mteliers Nationauz were still debout. It is now beyond a doubt that at no period of the in- surrection were any of the usual political cries used. The only inscriptions on the flags during the first two days were “ Aleliers Nationauz,”” and “ Du travail ou la mort’? On the Sunday, to ire, a more terrible inscription was to be seon on a few flags; as it appears that a flag is now in the possession of the National Assembly, on which are the words, “ Vainqueurs le Pillage |” * Vaincus l’incendie !"’ The people of Paris have made a greater escape than most of them imagine. The number of Parisians in custody yesterday after- noon was 6,500. They were all awara 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 recognized each other was a small ozier twig, which each kept concealed in his sleeve. The leader was known re his switch being in the shape of a pitchfork. The chiefs had medals called onnerons, and the medal had a certain number of notches, accor- ding to the rank of the personage bearing it.’ It ap- pears, besides, that there is no doubt that the insur- gents had a regular plan of government, that the names of the parties in the government was’ qusle tot- tled, and that among them figured some names which have figured in high places since the revolution. The examination of the prisoners by the Juges d’Instruction is going on with great rapidity. They are divided into different classes, according to the amount of their im- portance in the movement. One of the principal prisoners, M. de Flotte, was found to have in possession, @ laisser poseer 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 to-day. About 400 stand of arms were found in a house in the Marche et Honore, and a great quantity of ammunition, &o , in several of th Hotels Garnis, in the same neighborhood. Twenty- five thousand stand of arms have in all beon seized. ‘The only remedy for France is a war. Livenroot, July 1, 1848. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. ‘We send you by this steamer, staggering news. Tho insurrection in Paris has been frightful indeed. The papers announce the number of killed and wounded at 35,000! Yougpay recollect that in March last I ex- pressed an yn that France would not succeed in establishing any kind of government without witness ing immense bloodshed; and I am now persuaded that the worst is not passed.

The disturbances expected in Paris yesterday, have not taken place, but the danger is not yet at an end. Yesterday forenoon, a band of the workmen | nthe Ateliers Nationaux went in a body to the palace of the Luxembourg, and requested to be allowed to speak to the members of the Execu- tive Government. M. Marie consented to receive a deputation of five delegates. The leader of the depu- tation announced himself as one of the invaders of the Assembly, upon which M. Marie refused tohear what he had to say, but he listened attentively to the com- plaints of the four others. M. Marie then addressed them at some length, endeavoring to persuade them not to allow themselves to be led astray by dangerous and disorderly people, who wished to place them in @ state of rebellion against the government and against society. He assured them of the good intentions of the government, which had their interes!s and welfare sincerely at heart, and which was at that moment se- riously considering wha’ could be done for their good, ‘The words of M Marie do not appear to have satisfied the deputation, On their return, they assured their companions that they had nothing to expect, and th: M. Marie had called them slaves. This fermentation. Cries of ‘4 bas Marie!” semblie!” “A bas laCommission Executi on allsides, They paraded the Rue du Bac, and some of those in the same neighborhood, singing in chorus “Nous resterons, nous resterons,” in allusion to their determination not to quit Paris. They then went to the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Faubourg St. Mar- ceau, where the crowd greatly increased. In the eve- ning they took up their station on the Place de la Bas- tille, where they p from time to ive VEmpereur! “a bas Marie!, “Nous resterons.”” At one period it was feared that they would go towards the Assembly, but this they for- tunately did not do, Later at night, about half past eight, a body of persons, consisting of four or pfive thourand persons, went towards the Hotel de Ville, and frcm thence to the Faubourg du Temple, for the pur- ose of joining the other party on the Place de Bastille. This movement created a great deal of uneasiness, and additional military were consequently called out, and kept under arms ail night. TUE FIGHTING IN THF STREETS OF PARIS. Panis, Friday Evening. June 23 When I wrote to you this morning, the générale was beating in every part of Paris, and the most alarming reports were circulated of the progress making by tho rioters. Barricades, we were told, had been thrown up, not as on three days of February, in one small Gletriot, But in different: parts of the city, remote from each other, and so. far ivolated as to show that the number of the conspiritors must be very formidable. As the best mode of judging of these matters, where mi set ime, the cries of bans ie!,) practicable, is by person ction, | directed my steps towards the focus ¢f all disorders—the Porte St. Denis. [found the shops in the whole line of the Boulevards all closed, the streets crowded with people anxious to know what was doing, the drums under the escort of strong pickets beating to arms, and strong bodies of National Guards thering on the Place de la Bow u Boulevards, and the marie of the 2d Arrondissement. On approaching the neigh- borhood of the ,Porte St, Denis, I was s prised not to seen single soldier, or National Guard; but on the other hand, I was equally surprised to find several thousands of the conspirators in possession of the whole of the district, and alreadystrongly en- trenched in barricades of the most formidable descrip- tion, Across the Boulevard, and quite close to the Porte St. Denis, was an immense barricade, formed of four or five omnibuses, several carriages,a huge wagon, and paving stones taken from the streets, which wore torn up for a considerable distance on both sides. A little beyond the Rue St. Denis was another barricade, fully as formidable as the first, and composed of pretty much the same miscellaneous materials; and still fur- ther on towards the Porte St. Martin, was a third bar- | ricade, not quite so large as the first, but still sufficient to bea powerful defence against a coup de main, The end of the Rue du Faubourg St. Denis was also closed up with « huge barricade, which prevented the approach of trcops from the outskirts, The Rue St. Denis, the Rue Villeneuve Bourbon, the Rue de Clery, and’ the other streets abutting on the spot in possession of the conspirators, were similarly defended, and thousands of gamins were industriously working with pikes and spades, tearing up the streets and adding to the defences. ‘The mere enumeration of these extensive works shows how much time must have been epent in their erection, and it is wonder- ful to think that the authorities, who had been forewarned of what was doing, and who show so much alucrity in calling out troops when there is no occa- sion for them, should have allowed them to be comple- ted without interruption. So it is, however, and I men- tion the fact, without attempting to account for it, or to draw any inference. The birricades were de- fended by some hundreds of people in blouses, of whom many were not armed, or at least did not show their arms. ‘They had a great number of tri-colored dags stuck upon the top of the barricades, with the words « Aleliers Nationaux” inscribed upon them, and some other words which I could not distinguish.’ The Porte St. Denis, which was in the hands of the conspirators, was decocrated with a black flag, and on the top of it were arranged heaps of paving stones, apparently for the purpose of being hurled upon the heads of those who might attack it. ‘The whole scene was a very cu- rious and busy one. Every one seemed bent on com- pleting the defences, and there was no appearance of alarm, anger, or any excitement, beyond that of their anxiety to complete their work. While this was going on, the alarm was suddenly given of the approach of the military. In the distant part of all the streets abutting upon the Porte St. De- nis, dense columns of troops were to be seen advancing. ‘There was a sudden movement among the conspirators, a few of whom took to their heels, but the greater part of whom remained at their places, At the same mo- ment, a strong column of infantry of the line, and of the Second Legion of the National Guard, were to be seen approaching from the direction of the Boulevard Poissonniere. It then became evident that the whole place was surrounded, and that the barricades were about to be attacked. I had just time to get into the Rue Villeneuve Bourbon, when the attack commenced. ‘The firing began on the side of the conspirators, who discharged several rounds;the NationalGuard returned the fire with spirit, and a continued and sharp firing ‘was kept up on both sides for about halfan hour. In the street in which I was (Rue Bourbon Villencuye) a body of the fifth legion of the National Guard charged, and the spectators, who, like myself, were drawn there by curiosity, finding ourselves between the fire from the troops and the fire from the conspirators, were glad to escape into the portes cocheres, which the concierges considerately opened. In something less than half an hour the whole was over, and the barri- cades were taken. I am quite unable to say how many were killed andwounded; but the number must be con- siderable. Several fell at the very first discharge made by the troops of the line from the Boulevard Poissen- niere, and from the length of time the firing lasted, a good deal of mischief must have been done. It would | bea mistake to suppose that the conspirators are more- ly persons belonging to the teliers Nationauz. There were a considerable number of shots fired at the Na- tional Guards from,the windows of the houses all round. I eaw several of the troops wounded, and I hear that some have been killed. ‘The same thing happened in other places, and this is, perhaps, the worst feature of the whole affair, as it shows that there are persons engaged in the conspi- racy who have nothing to do with the .Ateliers Nation- | auz. [ought to bave mentioned that along with the troops of the line who made the attack on the barri- cades from the Boulevard Poissonniere, there was a bat- tery of artillery, which fired several rounds of grape. Besides what fell within my own view, there was a good deal of fighting in the neighboring streets. In the Rue de l’Echequier a barricade was attacked by the National Guard, and several of the defenders of it were shot dead on the spot. In the Rue St. Martin and the neighborhood there was alsoa good deal of fighting. In other parts of the town similar scenes oc- curred. At the Palais de Justice two barricades were | erected, which were carried by the Garde Republicaine | after eomesiard fighting. At the Pantheon there was also come fighting, and no doubt we shall hear of fight- ing of which we have not yet got accounts. The fol- lowing are some particulars given in the second edition of Galignani’s Messenger:— - “Paris was thrown into consternation this motning, by # report that the workmen of the Ateliers Nation- aux had broken out into open revolt, and constructed barricades at the Portes St. Martin and St. Denis. We regret toeay that this report was soon confirmed. The generalé was beaten for the National Guards, who turned out, at first rather slowly, but as the danger be- came more apparent, the numbers increased rapidly. The barricades were defended by about six or seven hundred men, chiefly armed with muskets; but the faubourgs of St. Martin and St. Denis were filled with groups of workmen, most of whom appeared to be Waiting for a signal to join the insurgents. The bar- ricades were formed in the usual way, with public car- riages which had been turned over, and paving stones and iron railings, which had been torn down. We are informed that the post of the Bonne Nouvelle was attacked by the insurgents, who attempted to disarm it, but met with a corageous resistance, and, after ex- changing a few shots, fled. At about eleven o'clock several other barricades had been erected, and others were erecting; but as the National Guards and troops of the line were arriving rapidly and charging upon the groups, it was hoped that the further construction of barricades would be prevented. At half-past'twelve a body of National Guards came down the rue d’Aboukir, and at the corner, were fired at bya party of the people, They immediately returned it, and several men were killcdand wounded. The people then rushed forward in torce, and the National Guard were obliged to give way. At the corner of the rue de Cléry a similary scene took place; the National Guards, how- ever, held their ground, and forced the people to fly, Our reporter saw one National Guard wounded, though not seriously, About one o’clock a smart fire of musketry was opened by the troops on the barricades erected at the Portes St, Martin and St. Denis, which was at first | warmly returned by the people; but after a few more discharges from the military, the fire of the insurgents slackened, and orders were given to carry the barri- cades at the point of the bayonet, which was dono in gallant style. A great number were killed and wounded. in the attack at these points; but four of the barricades were carried in succession, Just at this moment a battery of artillery arrived on the spot; and was placed in & position to command them At the Hotel de Ville nothing in the shape of a colli- sion had taken place. The place was occupied by a large body of troops and strong bodies of the National Guards, placed en echellon in all the streets leading to it, eo that any attempt to raise barricades would have been immediately prevented. The National Guards in that quarter had mustered in very large numbers, and appeared to be animated by the most determined spirit, Im the rue St. Antoine, opposite the church of St. Paul, a barricade had been erected, but it was car- | ried by the Natiodal Guards at the peint of the bayo- | net, Several arrests were made of persons uttering ditious cries, and one workman, carrying a flag belong- ing to the .Ateliers Nationaux, was stopped by the Na- | tional Guards, and his flag taken from him, At the | Palais de Justice two barricades were formed, which were attacked by the National Guards, and taken at the point of the bayonet. A great number of the defenders of those barricades have been made pri- soners.”* ‘The executive government met this morning at the Palace of the Luxembourg, and has been sitting en permanence ever since. ‘The president of the Na- tional Assembly joined them soon after 10 o’clock, and | it was at once arranged that the Ministerof War,Gene- ral Cayaignac, should be invested durgence with the chief command of all the troops of the line and other military forces in the department of the Seine. He at once accepted, but on condition that he should be al- lowed to take all the steps of a military nature which he thought proper, without interference on the part of the civil power. I alsb hear that General Clement Thomas has again been placed in the chief command of the National Guard. Four o’Crock —The proceedings in the Nations] Assembly were looked to with great interest to-day, and you will see from the subjoined report that the alarniing state of Paris was several times alluded to in the courre of the sitting. M, Senard, the President of the Aseembly, read a report from the military authori- ties, in which it waa stated that all the barricades had been taken, and that the situation of tho city was ras- surante. General Le Breton proposed that some of the members should accompany the military into the dis- turbed districts for the purpose of ascertaining from the people themselves the nature of their complaints; but the motion was unanimously rejected, Several members, however, and among otiiera M Bonjeau, M. Jules Favre, and others, went to the headquarters of General Cavaignac, and seven generals, who are mem- bers of the Assembly, went also to tender their assis. tance to the general. By the latest account from the Faubourg St. Denis and Faubourg St. Antoine, the whole of that district is completely in the hands of the troops, and the con- spirators have disappeared, The black Hag, which was exhibited on the top of the Porte St. Denis, has been taken, and carried to the National Assembly, where it is deposited in the Salle des Conferences, ‘Phe words inscribed upon it are “Le travail ou la mort.” In the quartier St, Jaques geveral barricades were erected, which were taken by the troops. ‘Two officers besides wen, have been killed in that quarter, A vast number of conspirators {have been taken prisoners in ail parts of the city, In the course of the afternoon a deputation from the blouses of July, to the number of 1500, waited upon the President to offer their services for the defenco of the National Assembly. ‘Two officers of the ex-Garde Republicaine (Caussi- divre’s creation) have been arrested in the ace of en- deavoring to induce a large body of ouvriers to march and attack the National Assembly. They are now priconers in the cell attached to tho hall of the As- sembly. Thaye just heard that a body of the insurgents made | now threatened with deprivation of that employ- | masters of all the barricades which they had erected, an attack on a post in the Rue Jocquelet, eccupied by the Garde Mobile. ‘The Garde Mobile made no resistance; they took to flight, leaving theic arms behind them, which full into the hands of the ag- gressors. It is impoesible tosay whether the affair is over or not. A beavy thunder-storm has for the moment driven beth troops and conspirators into places of shel ter, and the streets are pretty clear; bat great appro- hensions are entertained for to-night. ‘Tho conspiracy isa very formidable one, from the imsaense numb -r,a% well as from the desperate character, of thos engaged in it, and great fears are entertained of another rising In the course of this nicht. Paris has the whole of this dny had the appearance of a besieged place. ‘The mob is very much exasperated st its defeat, and threats have been heard of pillage-and burning. Fear may, perhaps, exaggerate the danger, and it is to be hoped that it does 80; but the rumor at present is, that the insur- gents of the morning threaten to turn out at night with torches, and tovain the object in which they have hitherto failed by endeavoring to destroy the city. Such is the position of Paris 2t the moment while I write these lines Hatr-rast Six 0’Ciocx. Things are worse than eve The cannon are to be heard roaring in the Faubourg St. Antoine, The executive government having res ceived most alarming reports of the state of Paris, has determined on going in a body to the barricades, M. de Lamartine, accompanied by his colleagues in the Directory, and the Ministers, quitted the National Ac- sembly at 44g for the Faubourg St. Antoine, in the staff of General Cavaignac. It appears that the inaurrec- tion, which was put down in the Faubourg, hag broken out with still greater violence in the neirghborhood of the Hotel de Vilie and the Place de Gre’ ‘The Assembly has declared itself en permanence. The whole of the troops which surrounded the hall of the Arsembly having been removed to the place where the fighting is going on, the Assembly has adjourned till eight o’clock this evening, it not being considered any longer safe for them so remain, | If the affair be not put down to night, it is the gene- | ral belief that Paris to-morrow will be in the hands of the mob. Among the persons killed is M. Avrial, banker and merchant of Paris, and among those mortally wounded is M.

The executive government, tended by a heavy body of troops, has just passed, In the Rue de la Cite there is a huge barricade in the hands of the insurgents, which is defended by a large body of the mob, with a considerable number of Re publican Guards, who have joined the people. CONTINUED FIGHTING IN PARIS. Pants, Saturday morning. When I wrote to you yesterday evening, I stated that the fighting, put down at the Porte St. Denis, and that neighborhood, had extended in the direction | of the Faubourg St. Antoine, on the ono side of the | river, and the bourg St. Marceau, on the other, | and that the most serious apprehensions were enter- tained for the night. ‘The night has now passed, and | unhappily the result has immeasurably surpassed the | worst anticipations of the greatest alarmists. This unhappy city has been, during the last eighteen hours, given up to the most frightful carnage, and at the mo- ment while I am writing these lines the roar of artil- lery and the continued roll of musketry is incessant. Since four o'clock this morning this has been the o: and as there is, hitherto, not the slightest appearanc: of a cessation of hostilities on either side, God only | knows how itis all to end. ‘The part of thé city 1 | which the fighting is is at, present going on is on the | left bank of the river, from which we on the right bank | are entirely cut off, ‘the whole of the bridges being | strictly guarded, and no one allowed to pass under any | pretence. The information, therefore, which I am | able to give, must, on this account, be sometimes con- | fured, and sometimes, perhaps, contradictory, as I am obliged to pick it up from those who, in the course of | their military duties, have penetrated into the dis- tricts now in the hands of the populace. ‘The insurrection of the present day is totally dif- | ferent from that of which the result was the revolution | of February. In February the insurrection, though it broke out in the same part of the city as the present, the Porte St. Denis, spread towards, and was in fact almost confined to, the portion of Paris occupied by the mercantile and richer classes, The quarter of the Tuileries, the Bourse, the Faubourg St. Honoré, the Chausée d’Antin, and the rich outskirts of all ‘that | great district, were the scenes of the revolt. It was, in fact, an insurrection got up by a bourgeoisie dissatis- fied with their government, with the determination of | getting reform, and if it turned out afterwards into a republican revolution, the result was one certainly not intended by those who were the authors and chief | actors in it. The present insurrection is quite dif- | which was | and took an active part in all the operations. ached parties of tho insurgents, and from the of the houses of which they had taken foroi- ession, ‘The number of kiiled on this point is The num- bie p estimated at about twenty on both sides. ber of wounded was also considerable.” Ituppears that shortly before this time a band of rio- tere, consisting of about 200 persons, were armed with muskets, paraded t ue Beauregard and the neighbouring streets, crying,“ Jur armes! they are murdering our brothers, ” although at that moment no firing had taken place. After marching through reveral streets they returned to the Porte § Denis, where they took possession of the bouse of a glove-maker Of the name of Jouvin,the ground-floor of whose house is occupied by 4 wine shop, which is noted as being the resort of the emeutiers of the quar- ter. A small body of National Gunrds coming up at that moment, a fire was opened upon them from behind tie barricades, and about ten immediately fell. Au- other small party of about eighty National Gu of the second legion ran to the assi ee of their com- rades; but, the fire from the barricades and from tho neighbouring houses was so severe that they, in thoir turn, were obliged to retire, leaving twenty of their men on the spot. Immediately after these lamentable events a large force of troops of the line, cavalry and infantry #rrived by the boulevards, and made repeated charges to clear the streets. Several pieces of artillery were also ed on the boulevards. 50 as to have the eatire r them if necessary. The Hotel de Ville and the | rons were strongly guarded, and detachments of the National Guards were stationed at the corners of most of the principal streets of Paris, to prevent the forma- tion of new barricades. General de Lamoriciere was with the troops of the line who came to the boulevards, | He was accompanied by one of the representatives of the peo- | | most of whom ple, said to be M. Degousee, on horseback. A terrible combat took place between three and four o'clock in the Rue du Faubourg Poissonniere between | the Rue Bellefond and the Rue Lafayette, where strong barricades had been raised, In this place the insur. | gents were very numerous, and had placed themselves under the command of a person dressed as an officer of , the National Guard. They were attacked by the 7th | legion of the Garde Mobile, and the 7th Light Infantry, | and a numerous party of the National Guard. The in- surgents having been called upon, without effect, to surrender, the engagement commenced and lasted twenty minutes, ‘Io the platoons of the infantry the rioters responded with a sharp fire, not only from the barricades, but from the neighboring streets. Atlength | the barricades were taken, but not until the troops had sustained a severe loss. ‘The commanding officer of the National Guard (M. Thayer) was wounded, and a great many men and officers of the Garde Mobile and the re- gular army were killed. The following account is from Galignani’s Messeng “By four o'clock jthe National Guards, the Garde Mo- bile, and the troops of the line,suceceded in completely clearing the Boulevards from the Porte St. Martin, and in driving the insurgents towards tho Bastile. Mean- while, the beating of the générale continued. Barri- cades continued tole formed in the faubourgs St. Denis and St. Martin, and a battalion of the Mobile, and aregiment of the line, in the ranks of which were several National Guards, went to take possession of them. At the Barriere Rochechouart, a barricade was gallantly carried by the Garde Mobile and the troops of the line. In the ranks of the National Guards, at various points, there were a gacat number of workmen not in uniform. At half-past two o'clock, the Rue St. Jacques was barricaded. At the little bridge of the Hotel Dieu there was a sharp fusillade, and several soldiers of the line were killed, “The Insurgents still held their ground at three o'clock. but their defence began to be disorganized, whilst the troops continued to display great courage, A general officer, accompanied by a numerous staff— among whom was a representative of the people—gal- loped up the Boulevard des Italiens, followed by a squadron of dragoons, At the Rue Michiodiere seve- ral horses fell, owing to the pavement being torn up; but only half-a-dozen soldiers were thrown, and not one, it is believed, was serirusly hurt. At about half- part three o'clock. orders were given to all the troops near the National Assembly to charge their arms, and and the post of the bridge of La Concorde was strength- ened. “By four o'clock the National Guards of the Banlieu were summonded, and those of Bercy had arived. “At five o'clock the firing continued in several places, and was very strong iu the quarter St. Jacques, and the Rue St. Jean. in the Fabourg St. Martin, A very heavy rain, which fell between 4 and 5 o'clock, drove @ great many cf the curious from the street. About 5 o'clock the members of executive government, accom- panied by M. Cauasidiere and somo representatives, went up the Boulevards, The insurgents were driven from the Place de la Sorbonne. “At six o'cloek several batteries of artillery went to- ferent. It is confined entirely to the working classes, to the 100.000 ouvriers who haye for some months been employed in the Ateliers Nationaux, and who, being ment—their only means of support, at a period when all tho ordinary sources of labour are de stroyed—ore driven by the desperation of hunge into rebellion. No doubt there are among the: wretched labourers some who have other and far more culpable views, and who urge them onto their destruction; but the real combatants are the laboring | classes, and their hope and okject is the fallacious one | of bettering their position. Yesterday the only flags | shown were thoee of Les Ateliers Nationaux, with the | inscription of ‘Le trevait ou la mort.” There were yery few partycries. In the whole course of the day the cry of “Vive Napoleon,” “Vive Henry V;"! or even “Vive la Republique,” was very little to be heard on the side of the insurgents. The great cry was that of “Le travail a Paris,” so that whatever may arise ulti- mately from the present insurrection, the cry for bread and the dread of starvation was its real origin. It must not, however, be supposed that there were no cries but those for bread and labor. ‘The exasperation of the people naturally led them to execrate those whom they considered the authors of their evils, and occasionally. “A bas les Pouvoir Executif,” “A bas Assemblée Nationale,” “A bas Marie” (who is pecu- liar unpopular at the present moment, from a false re- port which has got among the insurgents, that he call- ed the ourriers slaves) were to be heard, mixed with cries “Vive la Republique rouge,” and “Vive Barbés,”” It is singular how different Paris is to-day from what it was in February. In February the fighting was. as I have already said, in the richer districts, while the Faubourg of St. Antoine and the other por- tions of the capital occupied by the laboring classes were perfectly quict, and spparently indifferent as to the result. The Quartier Latin and the Faubourg of St. Marceau were also fighting on that oceasion. ‘To- day the fighting is entirely in the Faubourg St.Autoine, the Faubourg St. Michel, the Faubourg St. Marceau, and the Quartier St. Jacques, or in other words, the poorest districts of the capital. The distant roar of cannon and musketry which I now hear is from the Rue de la Harpe, the Rue St. Jacques, and the innumerable and close streets in the same neighborhood, which are barricaded in every direction, and which it has defied the 60,000 troops of the line and the numberless Na- tional Guard of Paris to capture, although they have been at it for the last twelve hours. All the other parts of the city are perfectly quiet, and take no part in the contest. il now proceed to describe the scenes which oc- curred after the despatch of my packet last night, as correctly as the numerous and confused details which reach me wiil allow. When I closed my despatch of last night, little waa | } known beyond the fact that the barricades of the Portes St. Denis and St. Martin had been taken, and that the insurgents had retired to the more remote districts of the capital, where it was feared—and, as it has turned out, feared correctly—that they would a further stand, The first act of hostilities is cribed bv a Paris paper first act cf hostility was an attempt of the in- surgents to disarin the post of the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, against which some shots were fired; but the fire was returned by the Guard, and the assailants, many of wh+m were boys, fled in confusion. Up to nearly twelve o'clock, the insurgents were entirely for neither National Guards, nor Gardes Mobile, nor troops of the line had yet made their appearance. At about elve, some detachments of National Guards arrived by the rue St. Martin, They were received with shots from the barricades, and returned the fire. | Soon afterwards a feeble detachment of the 2d and 5th legions advanced towards the barricade of the Porte St. Denis. They were also received with a discharge of muskets. “Out of humanity, most of the National Guards, in returning the fire, pointed the’r muskets in such a way as not to hit the insurgents, hoping that they might be brought to aparley; but this humane proceeding only rendered the insurgents more furious, and produced another discharge, by which some of the National Guards were killed or wounded. They then fired in earnest; but being very inferior in number to the force of the barricade, they were disarmed, and in this state were again fired upon by some of the rioters from the windows of the houses in which were stationed the leaders, giving signals to their infatuated partisans. At this critical moment a large foree of National Guards came up, and, making a gallant attack on the barri- cade, carried it almost immediately. This success was followed by an attack upon the barricade St. Martin. On the sppearance of this battalion the insurgents, taking it for aregiment of the line, and hoping to shake the fidelity of the regular troops, raised a shout of “Vive la Ligne |” but on finding their mistake most of them fled, ‘There remained only seven men and two women, who fought desperately One of the men, who held a flag in his hand,was the first to fire upon the National Guards; his companions followed his example, andthe National Guards returned the fire. ‘The man who carried the tag fell dead. “One of the females, a young woman neatly dressed, picked up the flag, and leaping over the barri ricade, rushed toward the National Guards, uttering | language of provocation, Although the fire continued from the barricade, the National Guards, fearing toin- | jure this female, humanely abstained for some time from | returning it, andexhorted hor to withdraw, ‘Thetr ox- hortations, however, were vain, and at length solf-pre- servation compelled them to fire, and asthe woman | was in front of the barricade a shotreached her and she | waskilled. The other female then advanced, took the | flag. and began to throw stones at the National Guards, | The fire from the barricade had become feeble, but se. veral shots were fired frem the sides, and from the | windows of houses. and the National Guards, in re- turning the fire, killed the second female, At last only | one man remained at the barricade, but he kept up a | constant discharge.

About this time M.

PARIS IN A STATE OF SIEGE—DISSOLUTION OF THE EXECUTIVE GOV ANT. Hare-rast Tweive oCLock.—It has just been an- nounced that the National Assembly has declared Paris in a state of siege—that the exe met has been dirmissed—and that General Cavaignas has been clared Dictator, with all powers of kind, civil and military. and without interfere the part of any one, ‘| refer you for particulars to the count of the proceedings in the National Assembly, which are subjoined Small parties of the members of the National Assem- bly have passed, escorted by cavalry, announcing the dissolution of the executive government, and calling upon the people to take up arms in defence of their lives, their families, and their property. They are loudly cheered wherever they show theinselyos Two o’Cxocx.—Genernl Cavaignac sent a fing of truce to the insurgents, to inform them that if they would yield before 2 o'clock, indemnity would bo given to all parties concerned; but that after that hour he would Fhell the barricades, mortars having been sent for for that purpose. ‘The firing still goes on as before, to that the negotiation has apparently failed. [¢ is said that the actual number of insurgents in the Quar- tier St. Jacques is upwards of 30,000, the whole of whom are armed and actually fighting. Besides these, there are more than 100.000 ready to join them, ani only waiting for the slightest opportunity to do 60. A serious attack was attempted about two hours ago on the Hotel de Ville, by a large party of insurgents from the Faubourg St. Antoine. At onetime great ap- prehensions were entertained for the result, but for- tunately the military stationed around the ‘Hotel de Ville, suceveded in repelling the attack. The insur- gents have been driven into the Quartier des Hall where they have barricades, and it is thought that they will very soon be forced to surrender or disperse, An order has been issued that people are not to be allowed to walk the streets, and all the inhabitants are ordered to remain in thelr houses, The streets are guarded by troops, who will not allow any one to vex who cannot show that he is going towards his Rome, ‘The whole olty bas the most saournful appear. ance. Itlooks like a city which had been deserted by its inhabitants, and occupied by a hostile army. It is frightful to think that one of the places seized upon by the insurgents is the Hotel Dieu, the great hospital of Paris, which is occupied by some thousands of sick, who are dying of sheer fright,amidst the scene of deso- lation going on around them, The hospital was in the joseession of the insurgents for some hours, But whithin the last hour It has been retaken’ STOPPAGE OF THE NORTHERN RAILWAY. No train has sturted to-day by the Northern Rail- way. The mails are taken up at St. Denis, and it has been announced that for the present the line is stop- ped. Several attacks were made in the course of last night and this morning by the insurgents on the Pa- ris Embarcadére of the railway, but hitherto without success. The Rouen line is still open, and strong bodies of troops are guarding the ttation and the principal points of attack. At eight o'clock & man ina blouse, mounted on @ splendid black horse, arrived at a gallopon the Bou- levard des Italions. coming from the side of the Ma- deleine. He went up to apicket of the National Guard and the Garde Mobile, stationed at the corner ofthe Rue Grange Batelicre, discharged two pistols on the ranks, and went off as fast as he could, A Na- tional Guard’ fired at him, without hitting him.— Immediately a colonel of Cuirassiers, accompanied by one of his men, pursued him. Cries of “ Stop him ! stop him!’? were heard from all parts. At the en- trance of the Place Vendome the National Guard pre- sented bayonets. The horse being wounded fell. The man was then arrested, and led te the post of the Ei Major. The discharge of his two pistols fortunately hurt no one. Very large detachments of National Guards from the environs and farther points are arriving in the capital. ‘The wounds of General Bedeau, M. Clement Thomas, and M.

From early dawn the work , of destruction las been going on without one moment's interruption; but all communication with the disturb- ed quarters being cut off, the most contradictory re- ports reach us of what is taking place, All that we now is, that the whole of the Faubourg St. Marceau, the Quartier St Jacques, is 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 the defenders of the barricades, The roar of cannon, which has been srant since break of day, still continues with dreadful monotony. The loss of life must be enor- mous; but for the present, all that we can say of it is, that in almost every street you may see the relics of this frighful battle in the shiape of dead and wound- ed 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 positions and in the quantity of arms, They are In¥gely supplied with firearms and ammuni- tion, and they have got poss 1 of no less than ele- ven pieces of artillery, which they contrived to capturo from the regular troops. ‘They are barricaded to such an extent in the narrow streets between the Hotel Dieu and the Pantheon, that there is no means of pene- trating; for as they have possession of the houses as well as of the barricad e troops who venture to t enter are at once assailed with showers of missiles from all sides.

The firing has ceased on every side, but I foar the af fair is not yet quite atan end. In fact, it is known that the insurgents are still in_ possession of the whole dis- trict about the Bastile. ‘The barricades in the Quar- tier St. Jacques have been taken, after ing been bembarded for four hours, Whether the affair is com- pletely at an end, one thing is certain, that the troops | and the National Guards have got the ascendant so that they must now be the conquerors. General Du- | vivier, who commands the troops guarding the Hotel de Ville, hes received propositions for a capitulation from the insurgents in the neighborhood of the Rue Mau- pert. They are anxious to lay down their arms, wish to make terms, but the general insists on t surrendering atdiscretion, General Demosne has sur+ rounded two or three thousand of the insurgents im the church of the St. Severin. Hv has given them till five o'clock to surrender at discretion, and has inforaa- ed them that if they did not give in by that time he would exterminate the whole of them.” The firing in that district (the Quartier St. Jacques) not having re-commenced, it is probable that they have given in. The Natio juards on guard at the Palace of the Luxembourg have shot several of the prisonerswho fell into their hands, It is said that M. de Narbonne and one of his servants, who were taken with armsin their hands, have been shot. One legion of the Garde Mo- bile (the 24th) refused to act against the insurgents. ‘This battalion has consequently been disarmed by the other battalions, and several of the men have been tried by drumhead court-mardal, and shot.

In the Quartier St. Jacques the insurgents are driven entirely from their barricades. The church of the Pan- theon was carried at one o'clock by storm. The were blown up with artillery, A great many were ed on both sides. The insurgents have taken refage in the district about the Barriére ali they have le yan no barricades in that quarter, and it is hoped that they will be dispersed before nightfall. ‘They threaten to burn Paris during the night; but the whole city is now so strictly guarded, and eo completely in the hands of the military, that it is not probable they will have the slightest success: ‘The insurgents in the Faubourg St. Antoine are completely isolated, and, by the heip of the howitners, must be dislodged.
