gents cannot hold out. There has been a great deal of plundering in the Faubourg St. Antoine. Panis, Sunpay Moanina, ‘When I closed my despate! should have been able a maine hope that 1 this morning to announce to you the termination of one of the most extraordinary and most ob- stinate struggles that has ever distinguished the Streets of Paris. case, The insurgents, it appears, are still in great foree in the Faubourg St. Antoine, the Clos St. Lazarre, and the whole of that district of the city; and though negotistions have been attempted at several different times to induce them to surrender, they have been hitherto without the slightest success, and we must this day expect to see a great deal of additional blood shed. ‘The combat has been carried on with great ob- stinacy, both on the side of the troops and the insur- te, during the whole of last night, and as far as we now, (and, unfortunately the state of our informa. | Uon is exceedingly lifhited. because no one is allowed to walk the streets, even in the quietest part of the city, unless he be in the uniform of the National Guard,) the progress made in the suppression of this portion of the rebellion is very —. Suecessful coups de main by Dodies are to be Seuesved; because they are a surprise, and we have seen a recent instance of one in the re. yolution of February ; but it must appear very ext ordinary to you that a body of workmen and artical Proceeding from the a/eliers nationauz, even if every ‘one of the 100.000 were fighting men, would be able to small and undisciplined make head against a disciplined army of 70,000 troops, | Hmmanded by the most experienced generals of France Gnd that ina capital where the bulk of the inhabitants view the insurgents as enemies. ‘To understand this, you must know the two positions w ad quarters of the insurrection, and which I shall ende yor to describe, The following are the positions occu- pied by the insurgents, from early dawn yesterday morning, and which they retained with little change till late in the afternoon. On the right bank of the Seine, the Clos St. Lazarre, a wide elevated plain, in the neighborhood of the Northern railway station, covered with building ma- terials and half-built houses, was occupied by thou- sands of the insurgents, and fortified in manner that makes it almost impregnable without a regular siege, Guarded by immense barricades at all the outlets, the insurgents entrenched themselves strongly in a new hospital, not yet finished, builtin the middie, which till lately was called the Hopital Louis Philippe, and now the Hopita’ dela Republique. This formidable post was united by ways which showed a degree of strategetical ekill that does mot fall to the lot of ou- vriers, with more advanced works, constructed rudely and hurriedly to be sure, but oxcessively strong, and extending in one continued succession’ all along the heights of the faubourg St. De Martin, La Chapelle, La Villette, the Quartier da Tem- ple, the Quartier Poppincourt, and tue faubourg St. Antoine, All this immense position was yesterday morning in the complete possession of the insurgents, and it is sufficient to say that it occupies nearly the whole of four out of the twelve arrondissements into which Paris is divided. On the left bank of the Seine. the principal seat of the operations of the insurgents, was the Pantheon, the Rue St, Jacques, the Rue des Mathurins, the Place Maubert. and other neighboring streets, which were cut np with enormous barricades every ten or twelve yards, and as the houses were occupied by the insur- gents, it was impossible for the troops to enter those narrow and intricate streets. Besides this, they had four pieces of cannon, which were brought to bear upon those streets, and which were especially employed for the defence of the Pantheon, This position extended to the banks of the Seine, which was one of the most formidable posts in the hands of the insurgents, and which it required great exertions on the part of tye military to take, It appears that the leaders of insurrection in this quarter installed themselves in the Chureh ef St. Severin, which they made their head- quarters, and from which all orders were issued. The insurrection was, however, not limited to the two banks of the river ; it also extended to the island in the Seine, on one®f which Notre Dame is built, and which is known as the Cite. The Hotel Dieu was the reat of their operations, and it was ably chosen, as it afforded a ready communication with the Quartier St. Jacques. As I told you yesterday, the insurrection of the left bank and in the Cite has been entirely put down, but not without great loss of life on both sides, pears that so strongly were the insurge: that the military, after repeated attack impossible to dislodge them. They therefore had recourse to the stratagem of appearing to give way. They retired—the insurgents fell into the trap—they Jeft their barricades, and pursued their opponents.— On plain ground they had no chance, and great numbers were immediutely slaughtered. This wi the first swecess on the part of the military, Others fexiowed. The Hotel Dieu was soon taken on the one side, The Pantheon was stormed on the other by M Bouley (de la Meurthe) a member of the Assembly, at the head of his regiment of National Guards. The in- surgents were driven from point to point till they lost the whole of their strong points, and were at last forced to tyke refuge in the large district in the neighbor- hood of the Barriére d’Italie, which is known to most strangers who have visited Paris, as the district where the manufactory of Gobelins tapestry, and the great hospital of the Salpétri¢re are situated. On the left bank of the Seine, therefore, the insurrection may be cotridered as having been completely put down. As for the state of the insurgents on the right bank it is very different, for they still renain formidable. In the early part of yesterday they were drawn from a strong position which theyjhad in the Rue du Faubourg ‘Temple, to barricades built in the neighborhood of the Hospital of St. Louis, which nearly cut off the commu- nications between the Clos St. Lazarre and the Fau- bourg St. Antoine. Soon afterwards their position was weukened by the lors of formidable barricade in the Rue Rochechouard, but still their position in the Clos St. Lazaire was very formidable. On the other hand, a strong body eoming from the Quartiers des Halles threatened the Hotel de Ville, which, as I told you, was at one time in great danger. It was not till near three o’clock that the insurgents were driven bai All the troops were gathering towards the terrible Clos St. Lazarre, which still held out I see by the account from the Chamber, that at a late hour last night it was not yet taken; but if the following account which ap- pears in a paper of this morning be true, it fell last night. The paper in question says :— “The affair of the Clos St. Lazarre was the gravest of this horrible day. Several times reinforcements were demanded, but still the troops could not make them- relves masters of the position, The insurgents, en- trenched in the hospital, defended themselves with the utmost bravery, or rather obstinacy. By four | o’eleck this evening one of the battalions of the Garde Mobile bad already lost 200 men. We just learn (five o’elock) that the barricades of the Faubourg St. An- toine begin to give way. The first was carried by General Cavaignac in person. Colonel Michel, of the artillery of the National Guard, has been dangerously | wounded by a ball in the breast. At six o’cloc the fire continued in the Clos St. Lazarre, and was recommencing in the Faubourg du Temple and St. Antoine. At seven o’clock the National Guards of Amiens and some artillery, with General Lamo- riciere and M. Duconex, a representative, at their head, joined their companions in the attack of the Clos ‘St. Lazarre. The news has just been brought to us that the Clos St. Lazarre has been taken afver | reveral most disastrous attacks. One battalion of the Garde Mobile, the 7th, has been almost entirely d stroyed. Of the 800 men of which it was composed | there are, it is ssid, only nine or ten who are not killed or wounded. “Nie o'CLocx.—The positions which were taken by the troops this morning, in the Faubourg du 5 ‘Temple, have been abandoned by the troops, who are | called upon to fight in other quarters. The insurgents immediately occupied them, They are, at the present moment, defended by a well sustained fire. Rein- forcements reach the assailants every moment. It appears that the insurgents have concentrated strong foes on this point. The firing continues with equal vigor, in the Rue d’Angouléme, near the Canal St. | Martin. Suxpay Monxixa, Tex o’Crock.—Sueh is the infor mation given of the state of Paris up to midnight, but I understand there is one important error. The Clos Saint Lazarre has not been taken. The whole of the attacks upon it yesterday evening have failed. and the insurgents maintain themselves in it as strong asever. The eannou cannot be brought to bear upon it, from its being upon a height. General Cavaignae has con- sequently been obliged to send to Vincennes for larger cannon and shells, with which an attempt is to be made to batter down the place from the heights of Montwartre, which command it. The whole day will probably be consumed inthe operation. It is said that upwards of 40,000 tréops and National Guards have en- tered Paris in the course of last night and this morn- ing. Still reirforcements are called for, and persons | are going round from house to house calling upon the | National Guards and all the inhabitants to join in | putting down the rebellion At tive o’clock this morning the generale was beaten, | andevery one who has a musket is turning into the streets, In the Faubourg St. Denis some attempts were made to form a barricade which failed; but others | have succeeded | On the left bank of the Seine I hear that some fresh | barricades have been rebuilt during the night, and that the work bas to be re in that quarter; | but the accounts which reach me are contradictory, | and! cannot ascertain the extent of this fresh out- break, or the force of the insurgents ‘The affair is very serious still, and the danger is no | doubt great, for in the event of the troops being beat- en, Paris will be pillaged. But l am under no appre- hensions as to the result. The inhabitants have no sympathy for the insurgents; the troops have con- | tinued faithful to the government ; there is no party ery to divide the well disposed ; the upper classes are all on the side of order ; and with all thise elements | against them, it is impossible that a body of workmen, | even though they do amount to 100,000 men, can be | | the conquerors, It is said that, between army ayd na- | tional guards, the number of troops at this moment | under arms is not less than 300,000. Northern Railway starts not from Paris, but from rome place between Paris and Beaumont, | The whole of the materiel has been removed beyond St. Denis. The insurgents are not in poesession of the railway station; but the directors came to a compro- mise with them that, in the event of the station not being attacked, they would take up the rails to St. Denis Orders have just been sent to all the inhabitants that the doors of the houses are to be closed at twelve o'clock at noon, and that no per-ons are to be allowed to leave their homes, You will consequently probably not hear from me any more to-day; but to-morrow morning I hope to send a courier, learn that the most horrible cruelties have been perpetrated by the insurgents. They cut the throats of several unfortunate soldiers and Garde Mobiles who fell into their hands, They cut off the bands of acap- tain of Cuirassiers, whom they made prisoner, Among those wounded are General Viorte, the Count de la Tour du Pin, General Bedeau, and several others. General Gourgaud has been mortally wounded, M Havin, a member of the National Assembly, is said to be killed General Perrot has been appointed by General Ca- vaignac commander of the National Guard, in the lace of M.

CONTINUED FIGHTING. | Panis, Monday Morning. | My hopes of being able to amaounce ‘to you, this morning, the termination of the dreadful insurrection which has desolated Paris for the last three days, have not been realised. ‘The struggle is still going on with | as much desperation as ever. On the one side the mi- | litary fight with the bravery of men determined to con- quer; on the other, the insurgents prolong the strug- gle with an obstinacy against hope, which shows that they consider it one of life and death, This terrible | struggle is the most murderous that has ever been known in the French capital, ‘The loss of life is enor- mous. The hospitals are crowded with wounded; pri- vate houses in every street are turned into temporary hoepitals, and the cry is for additional room. The troops a Mobile have suffered tremendously, Every | regiment has lost great numbers of men, and some | ot them the half of their whole numbers. The Na- tional Guard has suffered less, One of the first orders of General Cavaignac, after the capital was declared in a state of seige, that the trovps of the line and | the Guard Mobile should fight, and that the National Guard should guard the streets, prevent the assem- bling of crowds, and watch over the preservation of | private property. ‘The plan was an excellent one. It | has completely stopped all assistance being sont to the | insurgents. Every person not on duty asa National Guard is searched, his residence asked, and he is led | by a National Guard to his own door, No onv is lowed t» move about who is not possessed with a laisser passer, and even business is not taken for an excuse for being out in these terrible times. ‘The state of Paris this morniug is as follow: the left bank of the Seine the insurgents have been | entirely dispersed, with the exception of a few i parties, who still hold out inthe most remote part of | the great Faubourg St. Marceau, and who would have surrendered before now, but that a rumor has got among them that no quarter is to be given. Inthe whole of this district, however, the danger isat anend, | and there is not the slightest sppearanse of a fresh in- | surrection. The Island of St, Louis, which was yester- day in the hands of the insurgents, has also been re- taken. On the left bank the insurgents have been driven from the formidable Clos St. Lazarre, after a murderous struggle. in which a vast number of lives | were sacrificed on both sides, The insurgents have | been dislodged, also, from all the positions which they | occupied in the Rue St. Antoine, and in the streets be- tween the Hotel de Ville and the basin of the Canal St. Martin, ‘The National Guard and the troopsoceupy the whole | ofthe line of the canal, from the Place de la Bastile to the district called the Chapelle St. Denis, which last place was taken at a late hour last night, after a mur- derous struggle. General Duvivier, who commands in the quarter of the Hotel de Ville, has completely sup- pressed the revolt in that quarter, is master of the whole line as far as the Bastile, and has formed a junc- | tion with General Lamoriciere, who commands the | troops in the north of Paris, and who succeded last | evening in taking the Clos St. Lazarre. The insurrec- | tion bas thus been driven from the heart of Paris, which it occupied till last evening, and is now confined to the Faubourg St. Antoine. The space to which it is now confined is still a large one—but as the hope of succor is now at an end, as the troops, National Guards, and Garde Mobile, of which last the insurgents had great hopes, have continued faithful to the government, and as the communication between the two sides of the er is completely cut off, it is probable that this day will finish the struggle, and that in the course of the | forenoon the whole of the insurgents will lay down their arms. Indeed, it is said that the negotiations for that purpose have already commenced, and that all they ask of Gen. Cavaiguac is a promise that their | lives will be spared. Among the victims of this dreadful and unnatural struggle, one of those most deeply deplored, is that of General Negrier, the hero of Constantine. He fell, pierced with balls, on the top ofa barricade which he fad jade thkent: ile. was a Cotricpal toeaite ane hia fine military figure and noble countenance made him always remarkable at the National Assembly, of which he was one of the most respected members. It is estimated in the best informed quarters that the number of troops, National Guards, and Garde Mobile, killed and wounded on this occasion is upwards of 15,000, This is propably a little exaggerated, but there is no doubt that the number is enormous, On the side of the insurgents the casualties are not so nume- Tour. ‘The severest measures are taken by Gen. Cavaignac to suppress the disorder, and you will see from the following decree, that he strikes even at the press, an engine almost as formidable here as his own cannon, ‘The following order was last night issued for the arrest of M, Emile de Girardin, for the seizure of the Presse, and for the suppression of the opposition newspapers generally. 1 send it without comment :— “FRENCH REPUBLIC. “LIBERTY —EQUALITY—FRATERNITY, “The Chief of the Executive Power.—In virtue of the decree 2 onal Assembly, which places the city of Parisins re, resolver— “The Prefect of Police, and every agent of the public force, on the view of this. present’ decree, ‘will cause. 10. be arrested the gitisen Emile de Girardin, and to suppress the journal—the Presse. 1j The Prefect of Police will immediately order the seizure of all public news] rs, which, by their hostile ication, Inng te struggle which is inbruing tho eapital im blood, Bnd compromising the safety of the Republic. 3 * Paris, June 25, 1548." “CAVAIGNAC.

The ability and energy shown by General theme of universal praise, Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, M. Louis | Blanc. accompanied by three friends in an open car- riage, e driving urly along the Boulevard de la r Madi », when they were stopped by the sentries of | the National Guard. M. Louis Blanc announced who he was, and that he was going to the insurgente, toin- duce them to yield. ‘The reply was immediately given that they bad no orders to allow him to pass. A vid- lent altercation ens M. Louis Blane endeavored to force his way by ordering the postilion to flog the horres, but upon a threat that if he persisted he would be either argested or shot, or possibly both, the worthy representative gave orders to the postillion to turn | round, and the whole party galloped away in the di- rection of the Faubourg St. Honore. The Procureur-General, M. Corne, has addressed, by order of General Cavaignae, three despatches to the Prefect of Po! ‘The first orders the execution of the jaw of the 10th December, 1880, which prohibits the posting up of any written or printed bills of « po- litical nature, exeept those of the authorities; the second orders the enforcement of the law of February 16, 1814, against velling or erying in the streets any printed publications without munieipal authority; the wformed you that M.

In case of ccess it was enay f0~ the insurrection, by advancing a little, to occupy the important lines of the quays au Voulevards, and to surround, little by litlle, the Hotel de Ville. — Once in possession of the Prefecture, the insurgents would there Pave established their government.” This plan shows why it was necessary to haye such an obstacle as that at the Pont St. Michel, at the bridge of the Hotel Diew, and ut the bridge which leads from the Rue Planche-Mivray to te Qual aux Fleurs. Tye fact was, that the attack directed on these three points cat off from the insurgents of the two banks their means of communication — Its aiso easy to conceive the obstinacy with which the insure gente defended the position of St, Severin, which was the r hend ters, and that of St. Gervais, which directly menaced the le of the barridre Poissonniere was taken 4 revers by the outer boulevard. Though we have no detuils ef What passed at the barritre St. Denis, yet there is no + oubt that the National Guard and army, victorious at two other barriéres, easily managed to gain that point. re At six o’clock, after the taking of the barridre Rochechonart, the body of the chief of the insurgents who defended it was brought to the mairie of the fecond arrondissement. It was that of a man of the name of Larroque, editor of Pere Duchesne, and resident of the Club de la Montagne; he was killed by a ball through the heart and a wound in the head, General Renault has, it is said, received a very serious wound; and the death of General Negrier, a member of the National Assembly, and questor of the Chamber, is announced. About eight o'clock, M. Charbonnel, a representative of the people, was carried on a litter along the boulevards, accompanied by two other representatives, and many of his friends. “From his paleness one would have suppose, as he passed along, that he had been mortally wounded; but on examination of the wound by the surgeons who attended him at his house, it was found that though it was a yery serious one, yet there were hopes for his recovery. By rare good fortune, the bal, which -had struck him in the right shoulder, made the con- tour of the chest, and buried itself in the left arm, from which it was cut out. M. Charbonnel was wounded at the side of General Negrier. Like all the other battalions of the Garde Mobile, the 13th display- ed the most admirable courage against the enemies of the Republic. The youthful Martin Hyacinthe, eigh- teen years of age, and a simple garde mobile, gallantly mounted a formidable barricade in the Faubourg du Temple, notwithstanding a shower of balls. Seizin the flag which surmounted it, he would not quit hol of it, even to fight. When the battalion had returned to General Changarnier’s head quarters, at the Cham- ber, the young Martin was presented to the chief of the executive power, to whom he presented the flag which he had taken, General Cavaignac immediately and spontancourly detaching his cross from his breast, decorated Martin Hyacinthe with it amidst the repeat- ed cheers of the crowd. Yesterday, the combat at the Pantheon was of the most determined character. During 15 hours the fire never ceased. The 1ith legion first advanced to the attack, but it was received with such a fire from the colonnade of the Pantheon, as to be forged to retire on the Rue St. Jacques. ‘Two hours afterwards the Garde Mobile endeavored to take the houses in construction which surround it. The fire was most murderous;— more than a hundred of the Mobile fel! under the balls of the insurgents, who forced them to intrench them- selves in the Ecole de Droit. It was not till about one o’clock that the troops of the line arrived to the assis. tance of these brave young fellows, and that they were able in concert to break through the railings of the Pantheon, and gain the interior, where the insurgents had established their headquarters. But to take the Pantheon was only a quarter of the task; there remain- ed the barricades of the Rue Viecille-Estrapade, Rue Neuve St. Genevieve, Rue de Fourcy, &e., kc. For five hours the artillery continued to be heard ; afrightful carnage took place; great losses were suffer- ed on either side, and it was not till four o'clock that the streets were free, and that M. Payer, representative of the Ardennes, whose house had been invaded by the insurgente, was able to get to the Assembly. Along with the horrible scenes which he witnessed during the twelve hours which he was confined to his house M. Payer related to us facts which prove that a great ma- ny of the insurgents were unfortunate men, who had been led away; and if many of them bad money in their pockets and excited the rest by every description of false report, the greater number of them were, nev- ertheless, workmen in despair, borne down by the mi- gery, which, for fourmonths had crushed them. If you demanded of them why they fought, their only reply was, “ Better to die from a ball than from hunger.”— Not one of them, on being offered it, would take wine without water ; und one of them having slain a mobile who had wounded him in the hand, he sat down and cried like a child. Meneurs sought without cease to excite them, by secking to distribute strong liquors among them, and Tepeating to them every kind of false report. Thus it was sometimes that the 11th legion had massacred a number of them ; again, that hundred workmen having been detached from the iteliers Nationeauz, and sent to Fontainebleau to work,the mayor had met fe ex! sonniere to the hel, not employ such a canaille. These reports, and such like, increased the despair of the poor wretches, who fought and died without uttering a cry. And that which M. Payer particularly remarked, and which may be remarked in all similar circumstances, was that the Meneurs were almost all habited as bourgeois, or redingotes, and without arms, never exposing them- selves, and ys disappearing at the least dange: To-day the Place Pantheon and Rue Vielle-Estrapade are occupied by the National Guard. Colonel Denizet bas turned his house into an ambulance, and not a single pane of glass remains in all the houses, The Archbishop of Paris, accompanied by four of his gsand vicars, went yesterday, of his own accord, to General Cavaignac, at the Palais Bourbon, where he has established his head-qnarters. He offered himself to go among the insurgents, as the bearer of words of | peace to the insurgents, and place himself and his cler- | gy at the eervice of the republic. General Cavaignac given to the venerable prelate, who, accompanied by his colleagues, went immediately to the barricades, car- rying with him General Cavaiguac’s proclamation to | the insurgents, I have not heard the result, but | fear | the exertions of the worthy archbishop have not been | very successful. The National Assembly has voted # loan of three | millions, destined to succour the public misery, so much increased by the deplorable events of these last days. From the departments it has received the most re-assuring news. On the one side of the insurgents | the defence is always obstinate, though less so than yesterday. The greatest precautions were taken that | any communication which they might have with the | town might be cut off. These precautions brought about the most curious discoveries. Thus, in the Kue de Helder, and the quartier N.

It appears by the report of the proceedings in the National Assembly, that at a quarter past one o'clock to-day, the President announced that hostilities were resumed at ten o'clock, but that after a short contest the insurgents of the Faubourg St Antoine had sur- rendered unconditionally, This intelligence was re- ceived with marks of the di t satisfaction and thankfulness by the rep1 A few minutes after, a short note was read from Ge- neral Cavaignae, giving a formal confirmation of the fact, and adding at the moment: “1 shall be certain that the powers which have been confided to me by the National Arsembly, for the safety of the republic, shall be no longer necessary ; I shall hasten to rensit them into the hands of the President.’’ General marks of approbation followed this announcement After this announcement of the fortunate termina- tion of the most tremendous insurrection that ever took place in the French capital, the previous details ure but of secondary importance. This morning, as I informed you, an armistice took place, when the insur- gents rent a deputation to propose a surrender on the condition that the insurgents should be allowed to re- tain their arms. This proposal was at once rejec! by General Cavaignac, who insisted upon an uncondi- tional surrender, and allowed the insurgents till ten o'clock to determine what they should do. At that hour it was thought that the terms proposed were agreed to, and some of the Government troops having got within the lines of the insurgents, were fired at, and agreat number of them were killed, Hoastilities immediately recommenced, which, after a short con- test, was brought toan end by the unconditional sur- render of the insurgents, went on a mission of peace, was desperately wounde inthegroin.

The iusurrection has been completely suppressed, and, with the exception of one or two false alarms. last ithout the slightest disturbance, or ap- intention on the part of the insurgents renew the contest. After one o'clock in the day there was no fighting, but it was not till last night, at 25 minutes to 10 o’elock, that M. Senard, the President of the National Assembly, announced that all was ter- aminated, that the barricades had been taken down, and that nothing remained excepting that agitation which was inseparable from such-events. Agreat number of the insurgents have laid down their arms; but by far the greater number of them have taken refuge in the couatry between Vincennes and St. Denis, where they are pursued by several regi- ments of Cavalry and Infantry. Last evening, 1,509 took up their quarters in the cemetary of Pere la Chaise; but on an alarm that the troops were coming, they retreated tothe neighborhood of Romainville — The total number who have fled to the country, amounts to several thousands. The number of priso- ners already made is very great. The prisons are fill- ed with them, and every hour adds to the number. Last night, 500 prisoners who had surrendered in the Faubourg du ‘Temple were marched along the Boule- vard strongly guarded by infantry, and carried to one of the detached forts in the neighborhood of Paris.. ‘They consisted principally of ouvriers, but several of them were dressed in the uniform of National Guards, and considerable number in that of the Garde Re- publicaine. Last night the whole of the city was illuminated, not 80 much asa token of rejoicing for the victory gained, as to enable the sentries to distinguish each other, and to prevent any further attempt upon the part of the insurgents. in the course of the evening General Cavaignac issued the following proclamation to the National Guard and the army “Crrizens, Soupiens—The tacred cause of the Republic has triumphed: your dtvotedness and unshakable courage have b: ilty projects, and done justice on fatal errors, In the name of © country, in the namo of ali humanity, be thanked for your ef forte—be blessed for this necessary triumph.

In virtue of the decree of 24th June, 1844, which declares Paris in a state of siege, and the decree of the 24th Decomber, 1811, deorves that the officers incle substitutes shall immediately proceed to tho Peowoution of ofr su ; 0 the All individuals arrested on the oecasion of the attempts commit ted on the 23d June and following days, in order that they nay be punished according to the penal laws ‘he Mayor of Paris published the following decree at an early hour last evening :— * Counidering the decree which Paris in a state of seize, fand the preseut state of things, all the hcuses of the twelve ar. rondissements of Paris shall be illuminated every evening until further orders, by the landlords or inhabitants. The National Gusrds shall remain at the corners of the streets of their respec tive arrondissements, and make patrols during every night. ‘The circulation, however, shall not be interrupted except in the quac- ters in which such measure may be indispensable. ‘The insurgents had resolved to defend themselves to the last, and had posted up a printed proclamation in the streets, declaring that they would bury themselves under the ruins rather than surrender, except on their own terms. They had cannon of large dimensions, from which they poured a murderous fire upon tl Sg 2) and they only gave way when they found that the howitzers were rapidly thinning their ranks. They | then began to flyin every direction, many of them abandoning their muskets; but the exasperation of the troops of the line and tho artilery of the Na- tional Guard was such that it was impossible to prevent a considerable massacre among the insur- gents, A great number, however, were made prisoners, | and the armed fugitives, who, we understand in their flight, frequently turned round to continue the attack, Nye apes by a division of the artillery of the Na- tional Guard to a considerable distance. The number of muskets abandoned by the insurgents was sufficient to load several carts. The well disposed inhabitants of | the faubourgs were loud in their exclamations of joy at being delivered from the turbulent men who have for several days kept them in agitation and alarm, | Dreadful atrocities are related of the insurgents, and | in particular of some ot the females who assisted in their defence. One woman cut into pieces the bodies of two of the Garde Mobile, who had been killed. She was taken, and, in the heat of indign: and horror at her conduct, killed with blows from the butt ends of muskets. The injury caused to property by the artil- lery is great, but less than might have been expected. ‘The following proclamation and decrees from Ge- pees Cavaignac were published on Sunday and yes- erda, To the Mayors of Paris, and to the Colonels of the Legions of “the National Guard, “ Immediateand temporary assistance, destined to provide for their first wants, will Le distributed at the Ministry of the Inte- rior to the National Guards wounded in the service, and to the fumilies of those who have fallen, A bulletin, indicating the Christian and surnames, the rank, ‘the profession, the lagion, the Yattalion, the company, and the residence of the National Guards Wounded or killed in| the struggle, pointing out the justice of their demands, must be presented to t er of the Interior, on the preeentation of which bulletins, assistance, not exceeding 200f,, will be given to the Learers of them.

CAVAIGNAC General Negrier is not the only general who has fallen in this dreadful insurrection. Yesterday morn- ing at half-past ten, General Brea and bis aid-de-camp were mastacred by the insurgents at the Barriere de Fontainebleau. He had already been wounded in an attack on a preceding day, but had resumed service. | The following account is given of the horrible way in | which the General reevived his death wouni | One ef the insurgents having been captured by some of the Garde Mobile, these men, infuriated at their conduct, determined to shoot him, when, at ‘the moment of execution, General Bréa threw himeelf before the prisoner, and entreated | them by all the laws of war as well as humanity to spare him, ‘This noble appeal had scarcely passed his lips, when the ruffian, who stood behind’ him, pulled | out a pistol and shot the gallant general dead. The | aide-de-camp was shot immediately afterwards, | _ General Demesge has had his leg amputated at the | Val de Grace, anffis not expected to recover. The unfortunate Archbishop of Paris is still alive, | but his situation is desperate. The ball penetrated his ‘oin,and it has been found impossible to extract it. ‘he tert hk is the manner in which he was wounded :—The venerable prelate having offered General Cavaignac to go on a mission of con- | ciliation to the insurgents, the offer was at once to accepted, and three members of the National As- | sembly, MM. Larabit, Galli- Desvaux, volunteered to accompany him, On their arrival at the entry tothe Faubourg St, Antoine, the Archbishop and his companions advanced to speak to the insurgents. They were just crossing the formida- ble barricade at the entrance to the Faubourg, when unfortunately the beat of a drum alarmed the insur- gents. They thought that the attack was about to re- commence ; some shots were discharged on both sides, and unhappily one of the balls struck the archbishop, Who immediately fell. Some of the insurgents went immediately to the assistance of the venerable prelate, who was carried to the hospital of Quinze Vingts, where he still remains. As fer M. Larabit and the‘other mem- bers, they hastened to descend from the barricade; but, as they had advanced too far to retreat, they fellinto the hands of the insurgents, and remained prisoners the whole night, Immediately after being taken they were carried before the leader of the insurgents, who was dressed in the uniform of a Captain of the Nation- | al Guard, The man promised to do all in his power to rave them, and brought them to his own house, About three o'clock in the morning some of the insur- gents went to M!Larabit, and asked him to interfere in their behalf with the Government, in order that hosti- | lities might cease. M, Larabit agreed to do so, and to accompany the delegates of the insurgents to the As- sembly, promising at the same time to return again as | a prisoner if the Government refused the proposal, Before starting, however. one of the insurgents enabled the three representatives to escape, and showed them | aroute by which they could get out of the Faubourg. | The lives of the representatives were several times threatened. ‘The last barricade attacked was at the corner of the Rue dela Roquette, It took place yasterd at eleven o'clock. General Lamorivicre, a taken the whole of the barricades in the Faubourg du Temple, arrived at the place de Ia Bastilo, from which he attacked the barricade witheannon and shells, A thei] fell on one of the adjoming houses aud set iton fire,and the insurgents after a short defence took to flight. ‘This was the last effort of the insurrection. From that moment the insurgents were not able to rally. They immediately flew to the Barrieve de Menil« montant and du Trone which they had in their hands, and thus excaped to the country. ‘The insurrection was by far the most terrible that has ever desolated Paris, ‘The number of killed | and wounded will probably never be known; but certainly they amount to many thousands, Many calculate the number as high as 40,000, and none esti- | mate it below 10.000, The troops of the line suifered | greatly, and of the Garde Mobile nearly one-third are either killed or wounded. ‘The Messager mentions the following journals as being placed under interdiction for the entire dara- tion of the state of siege:—La Presse. La Révoluticn de 1848, L’ Organization du Travail, La Vraie République, D'sissemiléc Nationale, Le Napoleon Repubtivan, La | Liberte, L’imatle Faubourien, Le Lampion, Le Pére | Duchesne, Le Pilori. ‘The National Guards who arrested M, Louis Blane accused him of having establithed correspondence from the Cafe Veron with the insurgents, and of having been in communication with them to the last moment. Last night, about midnight, a terrible catastrophe took place in the Place de Carrousel. 'f'wo companies | of the National Guard of the Banlieue of Paris were | conducting about eighty prisoners to the Tuileries, in the cellars of which a large number of the insurgents | are confined, When close to the Rue de Rohan some of the prisoners attempted to escape. They attacked their guards suddenly, disarmed some of them, and at- tempted to run, The alarm was at once given, The troops of the line and the National Guards in the vi- cinity flew to arms, A terrible pell-mell followed, in which the soldiers fired, not only upon the prisoners, | but upon each other, and the result was, that about twenty soldiers and National Guards were killed, More than half the prisoners were killed. ‘The bodies of the soldiers and National Guards were carried into the Tuileries. ‘The bodies of the prisoners were left for a considerable time lying on the spot where they | fell | M. Senard. President of the National Assembly, | spoke yesterday, with a just indignation, of the atro- cities committed by the Insurgents. Information the mort certain does not permit us to donbt the fact of excesses which one might have supposed copied from | the most savoege tribes of America, The Censtitutionnel says:— “After having been ro unfortunately wounded, the Archbiah of Paris was carried to a house jn the Saint Antoine, and af terwords to the Horrital of tho Quine Vingts, On the way he | wus escorted ly some Gardes Mobiles. The paysioguomy of one $f Seniors inte teen 3 inal cage him to aioe his he ‘to the. otter Eee this 4 Delaw: hia te bas and in the attitude er, ‘to preserve this ‘sou venir of the dyii prelate.” We have spoken of the assavsination of five officers of the Garde Mobile, who were decapitated by » man clothed in the garments of a woman; we have told of the poisoned brandy and wine sold in many quatte: to the National Guards and soldiers, in consequence of which many of them died; and of the j balls extracted from the wounds of the blessés. Many simi lar facts have been related to us. On the principal barrier of the Faubourg St. Antoine migtt have been seen impaled ona pike the mutilated and disembow- eled body of 4 Republican guard. In the Pantheon were found hung up by the wrists the bodies of many of the Garde Mobile, pierced by stabs of swords and bayonets, In the Clos St. Lazarre an infantry officer, made prisoner by the i nite, bad his wrists cut off, and left to die slowly on the ground of his frightful wounds. A dragoon had his feet cut off, and then placed dying cn his horse and driven off. A serious insurrection broke out at Marseilles on the 22d, Like that of Paris, i. was caused by the workmen of the ateliers nai discontented with the measures taken for regulating their labor. These workmen, who were organized as waxiliary companies of the National Guard. and provided with ammunition, in the first place attacked the Prefecture, which fortu- nately they were not able to take. Repulsed by the National Guard. and the line, they fell k towards the Place aux (Eufs, which is the old part of Marseilles, and is composed of a labyrinth of uarrow streets. Here they raised barricades, and entrenched themselves in the houses, from which they kept up a hot fire from the windows. The National Guard and the line, aided by & detachment of sappers, were obliged to besiege each house successively. The insurgents resisted during the day with extraordinary fury. At last, being forced in their last retreat, they were obliged to disperse, or to hide themselves. About fifty were taken. The loss of the National Guards and the line is reckoned at about one hundred. General St. Martin, commandant of the Marseilles National Guard, was wounded, as well as many other of the principal citi- zens of that town, In the evening the contest was not looked upon as atanend, A very strong barricade in the Place Castellane was still occupied mae mass of in- surgents, and great anxiety reigned yughout the town. Reinforcements were looked for during the night or on the morrow. Later accounts state that the insurrection is com- plet uppressed, and that the city is fectly quiet. ‘The accounts from Lyons are very sat! tory. The city is tranquil, and a large number of National Guards volunteered to march to the assistance of the govern- ment in Paris. This morning the vietims of the insurrection are to be buried. The rappel is now beating to arms for that ceremony. M. Emile de Girardin has been set at liberty. Paris still continues in a state of siege, but more li- berty is given to the inhabitants to move about. ‘The great question of the day, now that the insur- rection has disappeared, is as to the formation of the new government. The Exeoutive government will not be restored. Several meetings of representatives were held Se dey in the bureaux of the National As- sembly, where the subject was discussed without any decision being arrived at; and it is impossible, for the preeent, to te iy of the opinions of the majority of the Assembly, It most likely, however, several of the old ministers will return into private life, and that their suceessrs will be selected from the gauche of the old Chamber of Deputies, MM. Vivien, Dufaure, and Billault are spoken of. At ali events, there is now no doubt that General Cavaignac will be President of the Government; and, in order not to make him different from his colleagues—Minister of War. Among those spoken of as likely to take office, are—MM. Portalis, Landrin, Jules Favre, and Goudchaux. The last will probably be Minister of the Finances. Panis, Tuesday Evening.—The dangers of the insur- rection having now completely disappeared, the cx- citement in which we lived for the last few days, has given place toa painful degree of lassitude. Everybody seems wearied by their past exertions. The shops are partially opened, but si business has not exactly re- sumed its ordinary course ; the streets are still crowd- ed with all marner of military costume, from the splen- did cuirassier and the gay lancer, to the humble bloused national guard from the cultural districts, The only matter which enlivens the city, and shows that all is not yet quiet in the regions of the govern- ment, are the aides-de-camp and orderlies, who are every now and then to be seen galloping along the streets as if the fate of the nation depended on their arrivingat their destination by a aren time. The streets are still guarded by sentries, but very little im- pediment is thrown in the way of promenaders, e: cepting that all persons wearing blouses or having a suspicious appearance, are searched for arms. How long we are to remain under military law no one knows excepting General Cavaignac, who has declared that he would lay down his extraordinary powers as soon 4s they shall have ceased to be necessary, and whom alone it is left to judge when that time has arrived. The Archbishop of Paris expired this morning at 11 o'clock. The Provincial National Guard attempted to pitch about forty prisoners ey into the Seine, and were only prevented with great difficulty by the escort. General Rey, a representative, has replaced General Negrier in the command of the troops destined for the defence of the National Assembly, which is also the general rendezvous of all the National Guards who arrive from the departments to place themselves at the disposal of the Assembly. General Rey successively despatched them to different points to aet with the National Guard of Paris and the line, and several detachments were sent to ure ammunition from the outer forts of Paris. The battalion of the pupils of the school of St. Cyr, who bad on Sunday done duty at the National ‘Assembly, were yesterday, at their own request, sent tothe scene of combat. Their military bearing excited the admiration of the National ard and of thearmy. The detachments of the Garde Mobile arrived successively at the As- sembly, carrying the flags they had taken from the barricades of the Faubourg St. Antoine. General Rey halted the detachments before the gates of the Cham- ber, and afterwards conducted these young men to the President and to General Ca ‘nac; who praised them in the warmest manner for courage. One of them, belonging to the battalion of the Mariffe Mo- bile guard, was recognized by several rep! ntatives as having displayed extraordinary courage in the at- tack of the place de la Bastile. Another Garde Mo- bile. a boy between 16 and 17, named Delrat, of the 9th battalion, was mentioned to the President for hav- ing himself eaptured five insurgents, five muskets, and five flags, on different barricades in the Rue de Reuilly. Being taken iil when at the palace, he could not go to the President. The President accordingly went to him, and, kissing him with warmth, said, “Since you cannot wait on the President, the President of the National Assembly waits on you!” On the Boulevard another Garde Mobile, also bearing a flag, wept when military honors were paid to him Panis, Wednesday Morning. passed another quiet night, and any ap- prehensions of a fresh outbreak are, fortunately, en- Urelyjat an end. The insurgents have been completely dispersed, and of those who took refuge in the country round Paris, few have escaped the pursuit of the dra- goons and infantry sent after them, Yesterday, at 2 o'clock. a party of about 400 of the fugitives, who had taken up a position in the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise, were surrounded by some regiments of infan- try, and summoned to lay down their arms. They refused, excepting on condition that they should be set at liberty, and appeared to be preparing to make some resistance, when ¢ome shots went off from their side, one of which struck a soldier. The troops imagined themselves be‘rayed, and withour far- ther ceremony opened a murderous fire upon the in- surgents, drove them from their position in the ceme- tery into the neighboring vineyards, and as quarter was no longer the order of the day, almost every one of the unhappy wretches was destroyed. In cther parts of the neighborhood a yast number of prisoners were taken, who were all carried into Paris, Yesterday af- ternoon the number of prisoners in custody was up- wards of 6,000, but every hour adds to the number.— ‘The prisons, the cellars of the Tuileries and of the Na- tional Assembly are gorged with prisoners. In the Coneiergerie 1,500 are confined in an open court,which on one side is separated from the street by a gate, through which they can be seen. The indignation of the National Guards and tho inhabitants against them is so intense that it is with the utmost difficulty they can be saved from summary vengeance. What is to be done with sucha mass of human beings is a question which appears to puzzle every one. To send them all to the Pacific is utterly impossible, and to keep them in France is to expore the country to a renewal of such criminal tempts as that from which we have just escaped. You will see from the subjoined account of the proceedings in the National Assembly that the decree of “ deporta- tion” against the prisoners was carried last night almost unanimously, The only members who spoke against the measure were M. Pierre Leroux and M. Caussidiere, and their remarks, so far from doing good to the cause which they withed to serve, did it an in- jury. ‘Their remarks created universal disgust. In the course of the sitting, (Jeneral Cavaignac an- nounced that at the meeting of the National Assembly to-day, he would restore into the hands of the Assem- bly the extraordinary powers with which he was in- vested. The announcement, was received with loud exclamations of “No, no,” from all sides; and it is probable that he will be induced to retain his dictator- ship for a few days, and until Paris shall have been relieved of the enormous numbers of troops and Na- tional Guards from all parts of France with which its streets are at present encumbered, and who continue to pour in even now that the necessity for their pre- sence is all over, One of the great questions which must come imme- diately under the consideration of the Assembly, is the formation of a new executive government. M. Lamar- tine, M. Ledru Rollin, and their colleagues having re- signed, it is for the Assembly to consider what is to be done, and the only thing certain is that “the fire kings” will not be re-appointed. It appests, also, be- yond a doubt, that the Flocons, Recurts, ‘'rolats, et hoc genus omne, will be got rid of, and that persons having some administrative experience, and whose principle of government is not to produce “order by disorder,’ as M. Caussidiere boasted of having done, will be chosen in their stead. It is, of course, impossi- ble to know upon whom the choice of the Assembly will fall; but the following list was yesterday circulated in the National Assembly, and is this day given by several papers General Cavaign President of the Counoil M. ward ss.

He ‘died after two days of intense suffering, praying that “his blood might be the last spilt in such melancholy circum stances for his country,” The Univers gives the following aceount of the man- ner in which the venerable prelate met his death- wound : “On Sunday evening the prelate, accompanied two of vicars enesalc roseeded by ie Rue St. "Amroine to the Pisce de la Bestille, where the combat still continued. ‘The welcome whieh he had received from General Cavaignue was but » prelude. to what be met with in the pees. near the scene of the combat. His resolution was praised, he was surrounded by citizens, sol diers, and women, who fell on their k..ces, and were unanimous in galling down blessings on the head of the envoy of God, and in i imploring his benediction, Some among them, more nt than the rert, represented to him the danger, perhaps which he would incnr. His reply was, ‘It ismy duty toofferup my life;” and he wus heard to frequentiy repeat to ~Bonus autem passor dat vitam suam. pro ovibus On his route he eutered several of the ambulances, giving his blessing and absolution to the wounded. On reavhing’ the scene of com- bat, which was then going on with great severity, he asked the colonel who was in command whether it was not possible to a his five for a few moments ; he hoped by. ruch a plan that that the insurgents would also be sce led, and that during this temporary truce he might make himself known aud coms to a Parley with them. The colonel, admiring the feeling of the Arehkishop, yielded to his request, and the anticipations of the prelate were res lized, for the firing ceused simultaneously on both sides, The insurgents mounted on the top of their barricade, and held the butt-ends of their muskets in the air, The Arch- b.shop and his two vicars general, M. Jacquemet and M. Ravinet, advanced towards the barricade. One man alone, dressed in ® blouse, preceded him, carrying a branch of a tree in his hand’ as 2 mark of conciliation. ‘The insureat, on part, descended from their barricade, some of them pacifically inclined, and others with menace in their And Janguage. Hy’ a zeal which can readily be understood, the: combatants on the side of order could not reconcile it to selves to see the Arch}ithop thus exposed to the rage of men who on that very day murdered some persons who had been sent to parley with them, They, therefore, neglected the request of the prelate, and sdvacced, and wore thus faco to fae with ere exchanged, and pet f'whtich the ea of scligion, and of the nu of blood, to save those mi ment of the holy mission, a musket was fred, but itnotis known on which sido, of whe:her it was by accideat or intentionally. Im ‘an instant a cry of ‘treason, treason !" aroso on all sides ; the com- hatants retired, and the firing became more severe than ever— ‘The worthy archbishop was thus placed between the two fires; he showed no alarm; he never thought of escaping to the right of ft, He advanced toward the barricade, and still socom his vicars-general he mounted it and reached the summit, He was thus in view of both parties, The balls whistled round him, bat at this time appeare One of his attendants had three balls through aediator showed himself, What voice could be more eloquent than this heroie apparation !— What thanks ought to fall on the heart of the Pont thus ofr. ing and giving lis blood and his lifs for the people entrust ed to his care!” What glory also, both for him and for the faith. which inspires it! But his sactifice was to be completed. Ho came down from the Calvary, where death had spared him, ‘and had scarcely descended a few steps, wuen he fell, pierced in the loins by a ball which appeared to have come from a window at the side. A faithful servant, who followed him unknown to his master, endeavored to eatch him in his arms, but was himself wounded in the side, Let us, however, render justice to every one; the insurgents ran to his assistance, and cafried him to the hospital of the Quinze Vingts, and placed a guard over ‘They procured the signatures of all p.esent to attest that he wag not shot by the persons to whom he had first spoken, and they ap- Deured very anxious to have this point cleacly stated. ‘The news.

In an hour afterwards the firing ceased not to reccmmence, ‘Ihe Christian calmuess and serenity which induced and eusiaired the conduct of the archbishop never left him. On the VicarGeneral, M.

It com at seven o'clock this morning, and will continue considerable portion of the day. Fae Paris is to continue for some days longer in a states of siege, in order to enable the military authorities to disarm the portions of the capital which are the cen-r tres of revolution and disorder. For the last two days officers and soldiers haye been omployed in draining the Faubourg St. Antoine, and the quantity of arms and ammunition found is enormous. It be re- membered that after the revolution of February, M. Ledru Rollin gave arms to all the working classes in. that quarter as a counterpoise to the bourgeoisie. The circulation in Paris is now pretty free, but at tem o'clock at night the military clear the streets, and: every evening till further orders, the inhabitants are all directed to illuminate their houses, as the best. means of preventing disorder. The appearance of Paris is still very melancholy. From the vast number of casualties in the course of. the four days during which the insurrection lasted, al- most every one has lost fathers, husbands, or friends. “In every street you meet women in deep: mourning. and with all the signs of deep affliction, Vast numbers of the National Guards are missing, and: the doubt as to their fate is almost more painful than the certainty of the worst. In every church funeral ser- Yices are going on from morning till night, and the same sorrowful symptom of the evils of civil war: must necessarily continue unabated for several days. The number of the dead and wounded to be still seen carried along the different streets is extraordina- ry. All the women, from the highest to the lowest, are busy preparing lint for the hospitals, At every door you see a little group e1 fi this’ work of charity. "Besides ‘this subseriotions for the benefit of the wounded have been opened, and the orphans are adopted by the Republic, by whom they will be supported and educated. At night no one is allowed to move about without a laisser passer, but in the day-time the extreme strictness of the first two- days bas been relaxed. It was only yesterday that the barricades raised by the troops and National Guards round the Assembly when the attack of the insurgents was expected, were taken away. The Place de la Con- corde and the precincts of the Assembly resemble a camp on the eve of battle. ‘I'wo regiments of cui- rassiers are picketed all round the place. The artillery and infantry are bivouscked round the obelisk, and the National Guards of the dep»rtments are to be seen. lying on mattresses and bundles of straw on the pavements, The Champs Elysees are also full of troops, ‘The accounts received from all parts of Frince con- tinue excellent, with the exception of. the deplorable disturbances at Marseilles, which are now entirely sup- pressed, and which, from the coincidence of its having broken out almost on the same day with the Paris ine surrection, was supposed to be part of a general move- ment throughout the whole country. No disturbance has taken place anywhere else. Lille, Rouen, Bou deaux, Nantes, Limoges, and the manufacturing dis- tricts are all quiet, and show an enthusiastic devotion. to the cause of order, Panis, Thursday Morning, June 29, Yesterday's proceedings in the National Assembly ‘were very important. After the adoption by the Assembly of an address to the French p on the events of the last wesk, Gen. Cavaignac resigned into the hands of the representa- tives of the Republic, the extraordinary powers which had been confided to him in the hour of peril; but stated, at the same time, that in order to forward the restoration of order, Paris should remain in a state of siege for some days longer. The appearance of Gen Cavaignac in the tribune was hailed on all sides with the most enthusiastic cheering, and, on the motion of the President, thanks were voted to Gen, Cavaignac, who was declared to have well merited of his countr; Gen. Cavaignac returned thanks, and moved that t army, the National Guards, and the generals who had fought under him, should be included in the vote, which was agreed to. The ministry having at the same time announced their retirement, it remained for the Assembly to rew constitute the executive power, General le Breton thought that General Cavaignac’s resignation ought not to be accepted, but the suggestion was received with murmurs. M. Martin (of Strasbourg) then rose, and proposed that “ the executive power should be confided to General Cavaignac, with the title of Presi- dent of the Council, and power to appoint the ministers, There were some slight objections to the latter part of the proposition. Several members wore of opinion that the Assembly should itself elect the: ministers ; but ultimately the whole motion was car= ried by a’ large majority, only one ber, in fact, standing up against it.’ After the settlement of thie. important affair, the sitting was suspended. At eight o’clock the Assembly resumed its sitting, when Gene- ral Cavaignac announced the names of the new minis- ters. The first act of General Cavaignac in the exercise of” the powers vested in him by the National Assembly, has not been received with unanimous approbation by that body. In his choice of ministers, Gen, Cavaignae has been pleased to retain some of those who held. office under the Executive Commission, M, Bastide- remains Minister of Foreign Affairs, and has made him- self. popular by his moderation. His name was. Tecvived withoat disapprobation, but also without. applause. When the name of M. Carnot, as the. Minister of Public Instruction, was read, it was saluted with a storm of disapprobation from the: embly generally, but especially from the op- position side, The name of M. kecurt was also received in # manner that was not flattering to that. gentleman, but the disapprobation was not so violent. asin the case of M. Carnot, The name of Admiral Leblanc excited surprise and discontent, becaase he is nota member of the Assembly. A member rose to inquire if the choice of Ministers ought not to have been from among the representatives of the people ; but as no law existe to that effect, the Assembly coul not restrict the choice of the newly-elected Prosident of the Council, and it had, theretore, nothing for it but to pocket the alight put upon its members, The commencement is, however, an unfortunate one, It would have been well both for General Cavaignac and the country if be could haye commenged his gdminig-
