sew ee ——— NO. 5153. NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1848. es Un Tf oe Interesting and Graphic Accounts OF THE j TERRIBLE EVENTS, FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Panis, June 29, 1848. 5 z & a 5] $ A volume would not suffice to give you an ade- | quate report of the events of the last most eventtul week, unparalleled by anything which has been witnessed here, since the dreadful scenes of the great revolution, Before I enter into any details, let me tell you ina word, that 40,000 men, composed’chiefly of the laboring claases, rose in arms, with a determina- tion to push the conflict to the death—to make war to the knife—upon the entire property, education, | intelligence, and respectability of Paris; and if the | attempt had been made a few weeks sooner, it would | inevitably have been successful. Happily for hu- | manity and civilization, within afew weeks, some | 12,000 or 14,000 regular troops have been collected | in the capital, and to the presence of these is main- | ly owing the salvation of Paris. I do not mean to | detract from the merit of the civic troops; but | alone, they could not have sustamed the conflict. | ‘There are 10,000 killed and wounded on both | sides, upon the least estimate; but it 1s possible that that may be below the mark. I heard the Prefect | of Police affirm to-day, that there were 10,000 kill- | ‘ed and 200,000 wounded—perhaps the truth may lie between, and probably 20,000 are put horsdu combat. | It is impossible at present to give youa connected | narrative of events in the order of time. I willen- deavor to do this, however, by the next mail. In ‘the meanwhile I give you such of the more promi- | nent events as cannot fail to interest your readers. I do not give you any report of the money market, for there is, in fact, none—the Bourse has been closed for the last week. The insurrection embraced the Faubourg St. Martin, the Faubourg du Temple, and the Faubourg | St. Antoine, on the right bank of the Seine. | On the left bank 1t embraced the Pantheon, the | Rue St. Jacques, the Rue de la Cité, and the ap- proaches of the Pont St. Michel, the Place Maubert, and the Pont de |’Hotel Dieu. Thus it embraced the two sides of the Seine, and spreading in parallel lines, comprised nearly two-thirds of Paris. ‘The means of attack and defence had beon combined with admirable foresight—the end was evidently first to surround the Hotel de Ville, and advance progres” sively on the two banks of the river. Independently of the barricades constructed with Giabolical art, the insurgents had’opened communica- tions in all the houses in Faubourg St. Antoine, so as to form one vast and almost impregnable citadel. This point appeared to be the centre of the operations of the rebels, and it was from thence that barbarism threa- tened to spread over France, and to aim a mortal blow at civilization. The Faubourg St. Jacques formed the left wing of the insurrection; the right wing extended by the Rues de la Planche, Mibray, Saint Denis, Saint Martin, &e., to the east of Paris, to a great distance. The Faubourg St. Antoine, situated behind, became a sort of reserve. These combinations were not the effect of chance; but, on the contrary, the result of a vast plan: ‘The chiefs of the insurrection hoped that attacks would be simultaneously directed against all parts at once, *hich they could not only be able more easily to defeat, but which giving them partial success, would attract numbers to join them. ‘The means of repression employed by Gen. Cavaig- nec, who, on the exigency, was made Chief Military Commander, and to whom, on the resignation of the Executive Commision, was deputed the whole execu tive Leber were prompt and energetic, and very ably 001 He confided the execution of them to Generals Be- deau, Lamoriciere, and Damesure, who were to act against the centre and two extremities of the insur- gents, to prevent their extending their ground of ope- rations. ‘The first combat took place at the Portes St. Denis | end St.Martin. The energy with which the National | Guard made this attack, had the happiest influence on the success of the plan of operations. Gen. Lamori- ciere came up with his division and supported them, | ‘and Generals Bedeau Damesure attacked simulta- neously in the Place Cambrai and the Pont St. Michel. in evening of Friday, General Bedeau had | cleared the Quay St. Michel from the Petit Pont. and | the entrance of the Rue St. Jacques and the Rue de le Harpe. On this side the insurrection was now con- centrated in the environs of the Pantheon, and the uartier Marceau. In taking the last of these positions, . Bedeau was wounded, and replaced by Gen, uvivier. ms the right bank the insurgents held obstinatel; the Faubourg Poissonniere, la C! a St. Denis an all the exterior Boulevard from La Chapelle to the Faubourg St. Antoine. Gen. Duvivier, in taking the command, marched to the Hotel de Ville, which was the aim of the insur- gents, and which they had surrounded on all sides. It ‘was necessary, first, to obtain possession of the adja- cent streets from the Rue Planche-Mibray to the Rues Rambuteau and ‘Tixandererie. At the entrance of the Rue Planche-Mibray, on the side of the Pont au cl AN enormous barricade was raised, which was in vain'attempted, several times, to be carried by the bayonet. It was necessary to employ cannon; and the night, from Friday to Saturday, was passed before itcould be taken. as well as those of the Rue Rambu- | teau, and the adjacent streets, Once the approaches to the Hotel de Ville gained, but at immenso loss, Gen. Duvivier commenced an attack on the streets which adjoin the church St. Gervais and the Rue St. Antoine. Here the struggle was long and bloody; the houses could only be taken one by one; and when they were entered, they were found empty, as the insurgents had withdrawn by the secret communications they had | mado, as | have before stated. | The artillery continued their work of destruction | during the whole of Saturday and the night of Satur- day, till Sunday On the morning of tke 25th, the tt bad advanced to the Rue St. Antoine. At 7 o'clock, Gen. Duvivier was wounded, and Gen. Perrot took the command. During the whole of Sunhday. he pushed his operations towards the Place de Ia Bas- tile, where he was (o form a junction with Gen, La- | moriciere. which he eff-cted in the evening. | On the left bank, Gen. Damesure made an attack jually vigorous “*Darog til the night of the 23d June, the firing did not cease in the Place de la Sorbonne, the Rue du Gres, the Rue des Mathurins. and the Place Cambrai ; and on the morning of the 24th. the Garde Mobile re- took the offensive in all the quartiers. Abcut 10 o’clock, the Rue St. Jacques was completely cleared, and Gen. Damesure ascended it with a column, At the same time, (ol. Thomes directed all his efforts towards the Pantheon, where a great body of insurgents were in- trenched. All the avennes to thjs building were barri- caded; but the Garde Mobile knew ho obstacles. The Ant, 2d, 10th, and 16th battalions of the Mobile, two battalions of the 1th and 24th Light Infantry, with a detachment of the Republican Guard, rivalled each other in ardor, and fought sround the Pantheon. Gen. Domesure again a:cended the Rue St. Jacques. The barricades surrounding the Place du Pantheon were cannonaded and soon taken ; this was effected partly by the occupation of the Ecole de Droit by the Garde Mobile, which enabled thém to command the place by their fire. No sooner was the Pantheon taken. than Gen. Damervre pursued the insurgents towards the Ecole Polytechnique, while Gen. Thomas attacked the barricade of the Rue des Foseés St. Jacques. and pushed on towards the Quartier Mouffetard, There, at the corner of the Rue St. Genevieve, a very serious fight occurred, Thb insurgents occupied the terrace of the College Henri V.. anda formidable battery. Gen. Da- mesure was dangerously wounded at this barricade, and gave up the command to Col. Thomas, Order was now, however, re-established in all the Quartiers of the Rue St. Jaq » Place de la Sorbonne, and the Place du Pantheon. The combat spread to the left, to- wards the Place Maubert, and ceased towards the Pan- theon. On the evening of the 24th, Gen. Brea took the command of the division of Gen, Damesure, ‘Tho night passed quietly. On the 26th, Gen. Brow made a reconnaiseance of the Rue Mouffetard, and took all arms from the suspected houses, He then occupied the Barracks de la Oursine, which the insurgents had tried to vet on fire, He confided the guard of the 12th arrondissement to tha lst battalion of the Garde Mobile, and, putting himecif at the head of two battalions of infantry of the line, of two pieces of artillery, and some detachments of the Mobile, Gen, Brea descended tho Rue St. Jacques, and marched on the Barriere Fon- tainebleau, occupied. by about 2500 insurgents. On ar- riving. and imagining that all were as honorable as himself, he had the imprudence to treat with some of the chiefs of the ineurgents, who admitted him, ac- companied by his aid-de-camp, without the barrier, Searcely was tho ,General in the power of the insur- & ta, when they threatened to shoot him ifthe troops — i not immediately lay down their arms, ‘This pro- porition was received ax it deserved to be. Col, Tho- mas immediately forwarded an aid-de-camp to the com- mander-in-chief; but before his return he hoard that | the General and his aid-de-camp had been shot. Thi redoubled the determination and energy of the troops; | | the fossé of @ citadel. and ina comparatively short time, seven barricades, which enclored the insurgents and which formed a strong fortress. were capnonaded and carried. The barrier was soon occupied by the troops, and order was again restored. The nighs was tranquil From this moment the Quartiers St. Jacques and Mouffetard were in the power of the troops. General Lamoriciere had on his side fought vigorous. 1yi after having carried the redoubtable positions of o heights of the Faubourg Poissenniere, Montmartre, and La Chapelle, from the evening of the 25th, he had made dispositions to carry the Faubourg du Temple, and operate afterwards on the left wing of the Fau- bourg St. Antoine. On the 26th, in the morning, after having cannonaded the first barricades, which were at the entrance of the faubourg on the side of the canal, he carried them by the bayonet, and advanced beyond the barrier; thence he returned to the side of the Fau- bourg St. Antoine. The insurgente had in the night made repeated efforts to retake the barricades of tho Place de Ja Bastille, in front of the Rue St. Antoine. The artillery of the National Guards and of the army posted there, had kept up their fire all night. At 10 o’clock in the porening of the 26th, the insur- gents sent a deputation to the Assembly, offering to capitulate on the terms of retaining their arms and all their rights as citizens. These terms were rejected, and one hour was given them to surrender uncon- ditfonally. They did so surrenddr, and the troops were in the act of entering to occupy the place, when, by some accident @ shot was fired—treason was sus- —— on each side, and the combat was renowed with inereared vigor and determination. Three batterics which had been erected before the quartier, began & bombardment of the place, and after an obstinate re. sistance cf six hours, the insurgents retired; some laid down their arms, and others fled with their arms into the country behind. Of these latter, some took up a position at Pere la Chaise, and some at Belleville; but they were soon driven out, after much slaughter. by the dragoons and infantry, and those among them who have not surrendered themselves are now scatter- ed about in the fields and villages, ‘The insurrection broke out, as I have stated, on the 23d, ut the Porte St. Denis, where a large body of men without arms, carrying banners of the ateliers nation- auz, the clubs, acd some corporations, appeared. Two barricades were now made with paving stones, and, as if by magic, all the men were armed with muskets. ‘The insurrection was pretty evidently announced the evening before. There was a meeting of about 3000 men on the Placo du Pantheon, and all appointed to meet on the morrow. Still the executive commission did not op ear to see the danger; for | amjaesured there were not 10,000 troops in Paris. The National Guards alone had to face the insurgents, during the greater part of the day on the 23d. "It was they. as I have stated, who first attacked the barricades at the Porte St. Denis, in the Cité, and the Boulevard du ‘Temple. In the evening of the same day, in tho Quartier St. Jacques, two companies of the line, who firedon a bar- Hleade, wore immediately surrounded by the people in a narrow street, and obliged to retire almost by capi- tulation, and promising not to fight any more, Tho bi cks of a battalion of the Guard Mobile, who had received no orders, were investe crowd, A battalion ofthe line, detached in the Quartier St. Antoine, guarding the Mairie of the Palace Royale, was attacked on all sides; fired on from the houses, which were occupied by the insurgents, and’ after! having fired away ull their cartridges without receiving any reinforcement, were obliged to capitulate. The ii gents took possession of the Mairie, and took from it a great quantity of arms and ammunition. A battalion of the Guard Mobile, who attacked the barricade Saint Severin, heroically but rashly lost three hundred men, and retired on the Pont St. Michel, covered with blood and wounds. Gen. Cavaignac was at this time invested with the command-in-chief, by the National Assembly, and from that time the attack on the insurgents and de- fence of the capital were directed with a unity, preci- sion, and vigor, of which we before have had no exam- ple: called, for itmust be acknowledged by aninsurrec- tion, which, until now, has never been equalled in its conduct by such determination and military skill. By his excellent arrangements of which we haveabove given a resumé—by the confidence inspired by his patriotism and the loyalty of his character—the General has ob- tained a victory, and saved Paris from pillage and in- cendiarism, The icsurrection, at its commencement, announced iteelf in a terrible aspect,and the combinations arrayed by its chiefs gave it a developement the most redoubt- le. The centre, as I have said, advanced by the Rue St. Antonie. and took up a strong position at Saint Gervais, with an intention of gaining the Place de I’ Hotel de Ville. The left wing operated in two columns, by the Rue St. Jacques and the Rue Victor, extending into the Cité to the Hotel Dieu, and endeavoring to force the Por:t st. Michel and the Pont au Change ‘Ths aispositions of Gén. Cavaignac were at length taken ‘The troops, the National Guard, the Guard Mobile, regardless of their lives, which they freely, and, I regret tosay, numerously sacrificed, obtained posses- sion of St. Severin, the Place Maubert, and the Rue St. Victor. ‘ At the Pantheon one of the most bloody com- bats of there cruel days took place. A battalion of the Guard Mobile, cut up by the fire of the ad- joining houses, tock refuge in the Ecole de Droit, Succors arrived with artillery, when a nu- merous body, in the uniform of the National Guard, and who were by the troops taken to be auxiliaries, ar- rived. They were the 12th legion of the National Guard, who had revolted. They profited by the error into which the troops had been led, by making mur- derous discharge en them, committing great slaughter, and, in the confusion, taking a piece of cannon. The troops now re-formed, and retook the canndn. and drove the revolted party into the Pantheon, which had been repared by the insurgents with all means of defence. Pesmuot deceribe all the episodes, all the phases of this murderous affair,in which the artillery only secured conquest over those who might have been called heroes in @ better cause. T cannot give you, for want of time, all the details of the bioody affairs of the Clos St. Lazare, the Faubourg du Temple, and the Faubourg St. Antoine. On these points, teveral samguinary conflicts took place, which ended in the discomfiture of the insurgents, ‘and in which the National Guards of the departments much distinguished themselves. ‘The last series of all these combats ot four days had for its theatre the Faubourg St. Antoine, converted, as I have before said, into an almost impregnable cita- del, whose numerous population of operatives. fana- ticized by the chiefs of the insurrection, and by ambi- tious demagogues whe thirsted for power, appeared to devote itself to victory or extermination. ‘This quar- ter was attacked by three vast columns, supported by numerous artillery, whose continuous thu nders for six hours shook the foundations of the nvighborhood, and resounded through ail Paris. Whilst they were engaged thus at tho entrance of the faubourg, and on the Boulevard, the insurgents entrenched themselves behind the canal, The chiefs had well calculated that this would be a defence li Behind this, they had the rey. lutionized commune of Belleville, which served them as a point d’oppui, and covered their retreat. Driven at last to the barriers, they defended themselves on many points of the walls of Paris with obstinacy. They had made loop holes in these walls, formed barricades, and contested every foot of ground until they were driven, as I have before stated, from all their holds, into the adjacent points of Believille and Pere la Chaise, and fiom thence into the country. The picture I have drawn is far from complete. Never, as | have said, did civil war guch as this—so re- doubtable, so violent, ferocious, 80 obstinate. so bloody-- break out in France. ‘To give an idea of the lose, { will state, that not even in the most brilliant of id by an immense < | Napoleon’s battle fields, was there such a loss of gene- ral officers. Of ten generals who were in command, seven have been put hors du combat, of whom two have been killed, Generals Negrier and Brea, as | have above described to you, were killed. Generals Bedeau, Duvivier, Damesure, Korto, Lafontaine, and Fouche, wounded; General Lamoriciere, though not wounded, had two horses shot under him. Never, say the old- est generals, was there such a loss ef life in the attacks on_ fortified places, as that sustained at the barrie ofParis during the last four days Four days of émente and attroupements preceded the explosion, in which all the preparations were,made. ‘The stations were assigned to the combatants—depots of arms and ammunition were formed, posts were ap- pointed. and the chiefs held councils of war, ‘The chiefs of the insurrection were the chiofs and sub-chiefs of the afeliers nationaux, the officers of the Republican Guard not received into that body on its reorganization, the privates expelled from that guard, and the men of the “ mountain,” some deserters from the Guard Mobile, and some officers, the most vehement clubbists, and the most capable and resolute of the liberated convicts ‘Thus many old soldiers, many men of skill and in- telligence, and many demagogues of even a more ele- vated position, organised, directed and executed this great: movement—this new Jacquerie—against social erder and civilzation. In all the revolutions in Paris, for the last seventeen years, there have always been a certain number of Young men of the schools and of commerce. In Feb- ruary all the schools joined with ardor. Now there was nothing of thie. The only soldiers of the insurrec- tion were operatives, and these the idle, and worthless, and more deluded wretches, whom the more crafty in- yeigied, in preaching to them this social war as the only means of improving their condition—a doctrine erniciously inculeated for some time by more en- ightened men. To there are to be added several thousands of liberated or escaped convicts, who passed as ouvriers. Of these it has been stated there were twenty-two thousand in the ateliers nationaur, All may not have joined; but the cruelties that have been committed may probably be attributed to these crimi- nals by profession. After the statement I have made as to the chiefs of this movement, including with them the Professeur de barricades, of whom { have spoken above, it is not to be wondered at that these places were so vast and well conceived. It has struck the generals with surprise that here, where the war of barricades is so well known, it should on this occasion have been carried to such perfection as to require the most skilfal and energetic means employed in @ regular siege to reduce them and that only after fenr days and nights of most deter- mined fight, The barricades they had most time to construct were erected regularly, aa fortifications, Te cannon-proof. Seme of them were constructed with regular bastions, so a8 to open @ cross fire, Subter- | ranean communications were made, and the windows cf the houses used by them for their sharpshocters, wero furnished with mattresees, ball proof. Many heures and public buildings were made into regular fortresses, which, for a long time, defied ail the attacks of the troops. ‘These ware principally the houses situated below the Pont St. Michel, on the left bank, the Church St. Severin, the Pantheon, the Ecole do Droit, the Church St. Gervais behind the Hotel de Ville, the houses of the Place St. Gervais and tho Place Baudoyer, a part of the Rue du Temple and the Fau- bourg, the angles of the large streets which open on the Place de 1a Bastile, and all the Faubourg St. An- toipne, All the troops conducted themselves with a courage beyond praise. in many cases, more expecially as re- gards the Garde Mobile, amounting to rashness, as is proved by the immense loss of life; a loss, it must, how- ever, be stated, to a great extent increased by tho de- fection of the 8th and 12th legions of the National Guards, who, wore, principally ‘men of the working- classes, and by their treachery. ‘The ‘Archbishop of Paris has fallen a victim to his weal, Desirous, in the spirit of a Christian, to stop, if possible, the effusion of blood, he went, accompanied by two of his vicars, MM. Jacquomet and Ravinet, to one of the barricades. during the hottest of the fight, to at- tempt to conciliate the insurgents, and induce them to return to their allegiance, and lay down their arms, ‘The fight was stayed as he approached, bearing the holy emblem of his calling, and the olive branch of peace; but by some accident or misunderstanding, the firing was renewed, and he fell by a ball. He was con- veyed home, and died as he hud lived, in the exercise of the holies? duty of his functions—that of charity, ‘To-day Paris buries its dead. It is @ day of religion wnd_prayor, over ths biers of thore who are no more—who but yesterday were full of the energies and the anticipations of life, To-day, as regards this world, they are as though they had not beon, The passer-by at each step reads an awful les- son. Here, the funeral car, surrounded by a desolate and disconrolate widow and weeping children, mourning their only earthly support; there, a mother shedding tenrs of bitterness over an only and too idolized son; a daughter following to the grave the father who watch: ed over her childhood, and was the friend of her youth; the affianced bride, about to utter her marital vowin the cemetery of death. ‘These, and such as there, are the episodes that at every step present themselves, From the Bastile to the Madelaine, from the Faubourg St. Jacques to the Faubourg St. Denis, are to be seen at almost every door the por Bacal of death, and to be heard the wailings of the bereaved. Such is the aspect of this city of civil war. Hands are spread out demand- ing charity from the pagsers-by for the families of those who have fallen; rich and poor contribute their offer- ings, and whilst this fund is hourly increasing, women and children are at the doors of allthe houses prepa. xing linen to bind up the wounds of the victims; even infants have quited their playthings to assist in this work of charity. In the Quartier St, Denis, St. Martin and the Tem. ple, are to be seen traces of the deadly combat; but as you approach the Faubourg St. Antoine, the spectacle becomes more horribly distressing. It ‘is not merely damages, but ruins, that present themselves, in some of which tho fire is still smouldering. Two bouses in the Boulevard Beaumarchais are much injured by cannon, but in the Place Bastile the disasters assume a gigantic shape, ‘The house at the angle of the Faubourg St. An- toine is entirely blown open on the two lower storios— that at the corner of the Rue de la Roquette is a heap of ashes, Set on fire by a shell, it was entirely destroy- ed, and its remains, which the fire is still consuming, attest the intensity of the unexampled conflict in the history of our revolutions, The Rue and Faubourg St. Antoine offer every where similar spectacles, every where the traces of cannon shot, thells and musketry are seen. ‘This and the Quartier St. Jacques exbibit the appearances of a town taken by arcault. The streets on the left bank of the river to the Pantheon are almost all unpaved Many houses are abandoned and all marked with balls, ail the windows broken, the furniture destroyed. the doors riddled by murket shots. the doors of the Pantheon shattered by cannon, and the magnificent colonnade considerably injured. Such is the aspect of Paris to-day. How many tears have been shed, how many curses have been uttered against the authors of such bitter calamity. ‘A dramatic incident marked the progress of Geno- ral Lebreton through the camp of the émeute at Le Chapelle and at La Villette, accompanied by Mr. Du- bochet; commander of the 2d battalion of the 3rd legion. Beyond « barricade which had just been pass- ed, the General had met a Captain and a Lieutenant of the National Guard in a very suspicious attitude The two leaders of the insurgents endeavoured, but in vain, to deceive the General; the latter turning round, said to a chef de bataillon of the samo commune who had done his duty :* Commander, for- get all pereonal relations which may exist between you and these men; think only of the defence of the country, of the safety of the Republic, in the name of the epaulets you wear, upon your faith and honor, tell me. have thgge two men fought fur or against soviat or- der?” The chef de bataillon collected himself for one in- gtant. and then taking off his hgpy and placing his hand upon his heart: “In the namé of God,” replied he, and upon my honor, I declare that these two men were upon the barricade and have fought of the insurgents having endeavoured to hand of M. Lebreton. the General exclaimed : draw, miserable wretch ! you have forfeited the rig'st of touching the hand of an ho! tman!’’ These two chiefs of the insurgents are among the number of the prisoner. Amidst the numerous acts of courage and of devoted - nevr exhidted by the Garde Mobile, during tho terrible days we have just passed, we consider it ouc duty te signal ze the noble behavior of the officers ef the bat- slion of Rouen, ‘The officers, who remained responsi- ble after their men were incorporated in the other bat- talions of the National Guard, hastened, as early as the 284, to offer their services to General Damesne, who placed them in the 1st and 2d battalions. Armed with a musket, they entered the ranks as mero volunteers, and fought during that day and a part of the 24th, in the quartier de St. Jacques, where they displayed a courage which drew upon them the eycs of all present, The chef de batialéon, M. Lepretre, who had taken up & murket, demanded the most dangerous missions, and sprang upon the barricades in order to set an example. ‘Two officers of the battalion of Rouen, were wounded at a barricade defended by upwards of 300 insurgents; one of them in his thigh, (he died of the consequences of amputation,) the other in his knee, which must, most probably, be cut off. Other officers of this bat- talion, were likewise wounded, in the quarters of St. Jacques and St. Marcean. On the 25th, Capt. Barbet. of the same battalion. fired upon the chief of the barricade of the Clos St. Lazare, with his pistol,and killed him; he was Laroque,the editor of Pére Duchéne; his body was conveyed to the mairie of an arrondissement. This same captain, having agked | dressed in, his burgeols costum leave to take six men with him, sprang upon the bar- ricade, and was the first to get master of it. C On the same day, Capt. Balcan, in another quarter, carried off a fing in the presence of the insurgents, who let off a shower of balls upon him. On the 26th, the young second lieutenant Prevost, after having been among the foremost who climbed over four or five barricades, said to a general who com- manded bis colamn : “There's a flag, { must hav@Mt |” and springing forward to the cry of en avant, he seized the flag, though a thousand muskets were fired upon him. He was fortunate enough to escape unwounded, and gees f contributed to the taking of this barricade, which was a most murderous one. He went and pre- sented the flag to the National Assembly, ‘The following particulars will complete the informa- tion we have already given, relative to the military operations of Gen. Lamoriciere in the faubourg du Temple On the evening of the 25th, Gen, Lamoriciere repair- ed to the place of combat, and arrived at the entrance the fuubourg. The balls fired off from the barricades erected on the other side of the canal, hissed along the whole length of the street, and carried death as far as — the boulevard, The troops were ranged on both sides and dared not venture into the faubourg. The gene- ral, accompanied by a single aide-de-camp, having reached the entrance of the street, most attentively ex- amined. notwithstanding a shower of balls which as sailed him on all sides, the position of the enemy. and took every disposition necessary, to destroy wll the bar- ricades on the morrow at day-break. However, it was necessary to draw nearer the bridge upon the canal, in order to’ be better enabled to storm the barricades. With this view, he caused a great quantity of bales of wool to be collected, which, placed upon each other, formed a rampart, which allowed the troops to advance without danger, and served to protect them for the | yo) suelian constitution, no President can be re- bivouac of the night. On the morrow, at threo o'clock in the morning, the attack of the barricades commenced. After having fired off a few pieces of artillery, Generel do Lamori clere, who was eager to abridge the conflict, gave orders to attack them with the bayonet, The columns were immediately formed: they were composed of the 29th line of the 20th battalion of the Mobile Guard, and of the 4th battalion of the Ist legion, The two first bar- ricades were taken without any very considerable loss but the third, long impeded the progress of the columns, and cost ¢ men their lives. It was at that barricade M. Dussie, commander of the 4th battalion, received his mortal wound, when advancing among the foremost to esca- | In the handsome raloon called that of Louis XIV, and at the foot of the equestrian statu of the great ing, me saw, oa Tuesday. at four o'olock, four dead bodies lying on the ground ; they are the bodies of two National Guards and of two insurgents, The head of one of the insurgents is most beautiful; he wears on t finger of his left hand a very fine ring; his hich are placed near him, belong to the class thy. He is said to have been the chief of one of the most important barricades of the Faubourg Saint Jacques. ‘At the other extremity of this apartment are two coffins, which contain the embalmed bodies of M. Napoleon Gentil, lieutenant in the | tional Guard of the Audelys, (Eure.) and of M, | Ernest Letorey, 26 years of age, a National Guard in the sume company. The great terrace which fronts the garden is full of bloody mattresses and linen. In another room we found six dead bodies, three of which have been embalmed by M. Gaunw, Among them is the body of M. Durriere, commander of the National Guard of Cambray. His death is unfor- tunately too true, though contradicted by a journal of yesterday. ‘The sisters are all in attendance on thy sick; the priests are seated near the dead.

City Intelitgenee, Tux Fravp vron THe Buookuyn Savinas Bave.— The city of Brooklyn, for several days past, has beon in astate of great oxcitement, in consequences of the reported defalcation of Thomas Hegeman, formerly a clerk in the Savings Bank of that city, and his sudden |, disappearance as soon as the fraud was detected. He had been dismissed from the bank some two years since, in consequence of his having been found gambling in this city, up to which time he had’ sustained,to all out- ward appearance, an irreproachable character. Since that time he has been living in good style, and not un- til the 6th instant was the fraud detvoted, and then | by his brother, one of the clerks in the Long Island | Bank. It appears that some thousands of dollars were kept in that bank that depositors might at any time obtain their deposits; the accounts of which being made up, showed a deficiency of about $35,000, which had been taken by Thomas Hegeman. ‘There are many who have suffered by his practices of fraud, as well as the Savings Bank,in many instances he having mado false entries on the ledger; for instance, a ma: making a deposit of $10, he would enter it upon the ledger as $100, and pocket $90. was guilty of recelving his own pocket, and givin deposits, putting thom into g the depositor a bank book without the knowledge of the officers of the bank; one instance of which, was $1000, which he received from | an Irishman, and ‘kept for his own uses in this way. | The fact was known to very fow persons: and would, | proba y, have been kept still for some time to come, | is sudden disappearance.

He stated that he was then in a great hurry, but if he would call at his residence the following morning, at nine o'clock, he would give them to him. The gentleman called, when he wasinformed by Mra. Hegeman that her hus- band had been very unexpectedly called to Albany the day before, and she could not tell at what timo he would return. This sudden departure was whispered around the city. and the fact soon become known that he had committed a gross fraud upon the Savings Bank. At the same time ho held the situation in tho Savings Bank, he was alsoemployed in the Long Island Bank as an assistant clerk, from which he was dismiss- edat the same time, but subsequently re-employed, in consequence of the supposition that he had | entirely left off his habits, of gambling. He was, | however, again dismissed from that institution | some ten days since, in consequence of having been seen on one of the avenues of this city with a splendid span of horses, and, as the officers of | the bank supposed, was probably spendilag more money | than he was legitimately making.

It is to be remarked that almost all the wounded of the line, who are at St. Louis, are sub-officers, who doubtless exposed themselves the most, and who were , most violently attacked by the insurgents, hoping the soldiers would remain without orders. ‘There are also | several National Guards. We remarked, with pleasure, | that the greater part of the wounds are what M. de Jobert cails Jorenes.

We remarked the body of M. | Fereol, chef de bataillon, of the 9th line, and that of a chef de butailion of the Mobile Guard of Montmo- repey. j Among the episodes which have marked the attack of the clos St. Lazare, which lasted 26 hours, we must mention the defencel of the barrier Poisonniere, by the 2d battalion of the 8d legion, on Saturday last. It was at 4 o'clock that, suportod by a battery of ar- tillery, five companies of this battalion arrived be- neath the fire of the insurgents, who still occupied @ barricade within the barrier. Two cannon shots drove the beseigers back ; after which the first legion sprang forward with such precipitation, notwithstanding the fire of the enemy, that the battery was left behind and paralyzed. A most noble example was set by the officers of the 6th company, which was the first to arrive at the bi rieade, preovded by Lieut. Ratticr, and immedia followed by Captain Lanjuinais and by Lieuts. B din, Bourdais and Dumoret. ‘The brave men, with an | ercort of about from 15 to 20 men, commenced firing at the foot of the barricade, which was kept up by the eegond battalion for four hours and a half. M.

Police ence. A Singular Charge of False Pretences—Yestorday, before Justice Timpson, a very curious case of larceny or false pretences was taken, on the complaint of | Charles J. Afner against Lasslo Chandor, wherein he | stands charged with obtaining $850 in money, and a | gold watch, gold chains and other jewelry, valued at $150, making in all $1900. It appears from’ the state- | ments made by Mr. Affeer, that about « year ago he ar- rived in this country from Vienna, where he had been | doing rather an extensive business, but had failed, leaving behind himga few creditors unsatisfied, bringing | with him a few thousand dollars in order to defray his expenses. Shortly after arriving in this city, Mr. Af- | ner became acquainted with Mr. Chandor, and during | their frequent interviews, Mr. A. informed Mr. C. of all his difficulties respecting his creditors in Europe. This | passed on all very weil until the first of June last, when | suddenly one morning, Mr. Chandor called upon Mr. | ‘Afner, at bis lodging room, 424% Canal street. and re- resented that. his (Mr, Afner’s) creditors were in | New-York looking for him with police officers. This much alarmed Mr. Afner, who notgbeing inted with the laws, proposed to make his escape, and by | the aid of Mr. Chandor he was packed off in disguise to Chicago; but previous to his leaving. he says he deposited in the hands of Mr. ©. the $850 and the jewelry, for safe keeping. Mr. A. was absent seve- ral weeks, and on his return called upon Mr. C, for the money and jewelry, which Mr. C. denied ever having. On the contrary, Mr. Chandor denies having made any such representation®, or ever receiving any money from Mr. A. for safe keeping; but as to the jewelry, that Mr. C. said he bought for $72, and produces # bill re- ceipted by Mr. Afner, or by the name he went by, signed Eisner. Thir, Mr, Chandor declares. is the only ‘Thefmagistrate, on. the affidavit of Mr. Afner, considered it @ case suit- able for investigation; therefore issued ® warrant for Mr. Chandor, who was brought intol court by officers Hays and Stephens, when after a short consuitation | the case was set down for a hearing on next Monday, at two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Chandor then gave bail for his appearance in the sum of $1500, Mr. BK, L. Saadecsky having entered his security. Mr. Chandor positively asserts that he can. on the hearing, preve tothe satisfaction of the magistrate, that the charge is unfonded.

The aged citizen, too, and the tender and delicate female who had read with #0 much pleasure the faithful accounts of the bravery and daring of thei fellow-townmen. all joined in the general grief At twelve o'clock, the third regiment of General Storms’ brigade, accompanied by the Oregon Guard, Capt.

Arriving at the Cemotery, the military filed to the right and left of the gate, and the procession moved in, the Guard Lafayette there actin ‘as the escort, and the Pearson Light Guard as a gu of honor. A circuitous route through the different avenues brought the whole line in a beautiful vale at the foot of Battle Hill, where a stand was erected for the more convenient performance of the ceremonies. ‘The coffin was placed upon « trussel, immediately in front of the stand, upon which were placed the sword, coat and epaulettes worn by deceased when he fell, besides several beautiful wreaths of flowers. The Rev. Dr. Cox then offered a very impressive and appropriate prayer, after which the following od composed exprersly for the occasion, by F. R. Hi burt, Erq., was then sung :-— ‘To Honor’s flelds where duty eall’d, ‘The hero sped afar ; Nor fear his patriot heart appall’d, Led on by Glory’s star.

And when the wakening trump shall sound, To burst this ferdant sod, May duty’s sacrifice be crown’d By rest, and peace with God. The Rey.

Ho had never known # country to invade a neighboring coun- try that it did not fall by the same cause, and it was verification of that portion of Scripture’ whieh © Whoever sh ddeth man’s blood with the sword, by the rd shall his blood be shed,’’ and he had foreboding, that there was yet some awful calamity in store for thiscountry. Rome had ber Cesar, France had her Napoleon, and America might have some military ruler who would cause the great fabric to fall. The war with Mexico was an offensive war, and her valleys bad been made to run with the gore of patriotic blood. It might be, that this country had been used by God to cause that people to throw off t were guilty, and that the light of C diffused among them. But, peace had again hovered over the country, and he welcomed it with joy. The soldier was not accountable for war. In fighting he did his duty. They had fought nobly under their beave colonel, (referring to Col. Burnett.) one who had, as a Cadet at West Point, been his comrade, and who was a noble and generous soldier. He would join in the general joy at the success of our arms, and though he had cause of grief in having lost a brother on the fold of Mexico, it was his own happy country that had boon successful After he had concluded, the benediction was pro- nounced, and the remains were removed to Battle Hi the grave having been prepared adjoining those of his fellow soldiers.
