The cold and rainy weather which prevailed since the latter end of April has proved very injurious to the sale of spring articles of dress. The retail tiade of Paris has considerably suffered from the state of the atmosphere, and were it not for the great influx of strangers who have imparted some animation to the fashionable quarters of the city, trade would be completely at a stand. Seme symp- toms of activity, nevertheless, are observable in the manufacturing districts, particularly at Mulhouse avd in Alsace. The depreciation of Rouen articles has been checked, but its industry still continues in @ languid condition. The manuiactarers of Tur- coing and Roubaix are doing well, aud those of El- benf, Sédan, and Louviers are busily engaged pro- biee! the cloth necessary for clothing the ‘mperial Gnord. The manufactarers of artic/es de Paris have receiv ed orders from Spain and South America bat all tisian indastry are extreme ly dail.

To accomplish their object they had erected entsenched encampments at every eligible | position around the walls, several of which were | located on the edge of a small creek which flows by the race course, and is the boundary line of the for- eign ecttlements, On the afternoon of the 3d inst., several of the citi- zene, while taking their rides und promenades, were fired at from one. of the small encampment, aud au attack was made upon a gentleman and lady, by some of the imperialist ecouts, who were sneaking about the course, inwhich the gentleman received several sabre wounds. The alarm was immediately given, by some parties who happened to discover the attack. The settlement was thrown into a state of great commotion—tne citizens flew to arms— signals of distress were hoisted on the several consulate flag staffs ashore, and detachments of marines and sailors were promptly landed from ail the men-of-war in port, armed with muskets and field pieces. The Americans, under the comand of Captain Kelly, Lieut, Guest, and Passed Midshipman Haxtan, on reaching the race course discovered that a portion of the English detachment had already taken and fired the camp from whence the aggression firat proceeded; while they, and another portion of the English de- tachment, having a field piece, advanced in the di- rection of the larger eucampments, near the course, and came toe halt within gun shot range of them, to reconnoitre and arrest any movement towards the settlement that might be attempted by the im- perialista. At this point the commander of the English forces, accompanied by her Britannic Majea- ty’s Consul, joined the American detachment; when ashort conference took place among the consuls and captains, (the United States Consul being on the ground,) and it was agreed that a few shells should be fired into the main encampment. The American volunteer howitzer compauy having ar- rived in the meantime, with their howitzer, afew shells were thrown by it and the English field piece, which took effect within that encampment; after which, there being no signs of any movement ob- served within it, the whole force retreated to the guard house within the foreign settlement, where patrols were arranged for the night. The aggressive demonstrations of the imperialists being deemed but the commencement of more serious troubles that might ensue, unless promptly resented and checked, the captains of the two Eng- lish men-of-war, the commander of the Plymouth, and the Consuls present, appointed a meeting,on the morning of the 4th, for the purpose of concerting measures to effect a removal of the encampments to & proper and safe distance from the foreign limits. It was determined in council, as a measure of safety, that the imperialist authorities should be required to remove them by four o'clock in the afternoon; and they were notified, that, if they were not evacuated by that hour, they would be besieged and destroyed by the combined forces of the English and American mer-of-war in port. Preparations were made for carrying this determination into effect. At two o’clock detachments of marines and sailors were thrown ashore from each of the men-of war, those of the Plymouth, commanded by Capt. Kelty, Lient. Guest, and Passed Midshipman Haxtun, and rendezvoused at the guard house, near the church, in the middle of the settlement, where they were joined by the volunteer Howitzer and Infantry companies, At three the whole of the combined forces, number ing in all about three hundred, took up the line of march for the field of action. On arriving at the race course, a halt was made for the parpose of re- connoitering the ground and giving the imperialists an opportuniiy’ to retreat. This reconnoissance was made by Captains Kelly and O'Callaghan, the United Btates Consul, and H. B. Majesty's Consul and Vice Consul, from some mounds commanding but an im- perfect view of the camps. After the lapse of a half hour, the march was resumed, and the forces divided to attack different points. The Americans, consisting of seventy-five marines and sailors, and about twenty-five citizens, composing the volunteer Howitzer company, with three field pieces, diverg- ing to the leit, followed the ‘curve of the race course to the westward, aud took their position about a hundred and fifty yards from the main field works of the enemy, which cornered a little to the left of the course, and extended along it ina straight line to their right, whilst the Eng- lish detachment and the volanteer infantry company, amounting in allto 200, continued to the southward, and took their position within howitzer range of the southern encampment. No sooner had the Ameri- cans taken their position than Lieut. Guest made a reconnoissance of the various encampments from a mound in close proximity to the angle of the main breastworks, At four o'clock the fire was opened on the American side with the Plymouth’s twelve pound field piece, and the two howitzers belonging to the volunteer company, who had gallantly placed mselves under the command of Captain Kelly, all of which threw their shells with great precision into the midst of the camps. Immediately after, the English opened fire upon their pofnt of attack. Although the two forces were co-operating, they were at such a distance from each other that their respective movements could not be seen by either, yet their shells were thrown with great accuracy, all taking effect within the entrenchments. The fire from the field pieces was kept up some twenty minutes, without a return shot from the enemy. Suddenly a volley of musketry was heard in the di- rection of the English position, which was supposed to bea charge made by them, as & tumultnous movement was observed within the encampment, as if the besieged were fleeiug in a state of conster- nation. At that moment the order to advance was given by the American commanding officers; which the whole force responded to with a spirited shout, rushing on to a close attack, end discharging their firet volley of mnsketry, which waa instantly returned by a tremendous discharge of jingalis; | Jonded with elugs, bullets, &c., from the intrench. | ments, behind which the besieged and awaiting the advance of the this first return fire upon oor forces, who were en- | thely uncovered and exposed to its fall sweep, Mr. | | Grisw:ld Gray, of the howitzers, who was bravely | charging in the front ranks, was eo seriously wounded as to render the immediate amputation of one of bis legs necessary, for the preservation of his life. Captain Pearson, of the American ship Rose | Standish, fell, severely wounded in the face, and one of the Plymouth’s sailors was instantly killed ; whilst their more fortunate companions in arms were discharging volley after volley into the en- campment, with almost inconceivable rapidity. At | this juncture, Passed Midshipman Gray, who had charge of a guard of merchant sailors who were stationed at the U. 3. Consulate, hearing the firing, | broug bt his men to the field, and participated in the engagement. The enemy's fire lasted bat afew minutes, and severely wounded two marines and | | One of tne sailors of the Plymouth. After the fir-t | two or three volleys, the forces were ordered to cross a emall dyke which flanked the road, and to advance to several mounds, (close to the Yau-King- | Pan creek,) which commanded the inside of the en, campment, from whence theattack was 60 vigorous ly carried on as to give the besieged no timeto raily —to disiodge them entircly from their entrench- ments, and cause. their precipitate fight into the country. The American forces fought under the disadvan- tace of an eminently exposed position, and being separated from the enemy's fortifications by the Yan Kivg-Pan creck, which is impassable at high tide, (which was then at the flood,) and unbxids: d anywhere near their point of attack; yet thelr in- cessant fire drove the enemy from the encampment and ke,t them in check, while the English detach. ment, having crossed a bridge near their position, avd taken and fired the encampment, againat which their attack bad been so successfully direoted, en- tered and fired this one also, without any resistance. The conflict was of short duration, and terminated in the dislodgement of a barbarous coldiery from en. trenched encamnpments, in such dangerous proximity | to the foreign settlement, that neither the lives nor the property of the community were in any safety. The whole number of imperialists, within the several encampments which were destroyed, is variously ea- timated, but by no oe at a Jess number than seven thousand. The aggregate combined force to dis- lodge them only three hundred! The American flag was planted by Lieut. Guest on the nearest mound to the encampments, where it told of triumph; while the flags and banners, the tents and camp equipments of the dispersed enemy, fed the flames, whose reflected light made it no brighter than ite country’s greatness and glory ever render it in the estimation of the gallant spirits who marched to victory under its folds on the 4th of April, 1854. The heroic spirit with which the detachment led on by Commander Kelly, Lieutenant Guest, and Passed Midshipman Haxton, advanced to the attack, and their steadiness under the appalling fire they en- countered, cannot be too highly eulogized. Nor can I, in thua narrating events which occurred under my own immediate observation, being in the ranks of the American forces, omit to render great praise tothe gallantry of the howitzer company, (whose amall corpa experienced one of the saddest casualties,) who stood at their pieces like vetoran artillerists, rendering effective service during the whole action; and who have received the grateful acknowledgments of Commander Kelly for their confidence evinced in him by placing themselves under bis command, and for their important asiist- ance in storming the Imperialist entrenchments. The breastworks having been taken, and the camp Set fire to by the English, Captain O'Callaghan re- quested Captain Kelly to cover his retreat at the bridge. Accordingly, the American forces advanced about a half a mile to the right and gained new position. Here the Americans found the British rear guard retreating, and a large body of imperial- iste advancing under cover of the batieries of some war junks in Sou-Chow creek. .These were soon checked by the fire of the three American field pieces and fell back to their defences. The maiu body of the British now rejeined the Ameri cans; and it was acknowledged that our forces, being where they were, prevented tho British from being entirely surrounded, aud their retreat cut off. The action having thus gloriously terminate’, the combined forces marched back to the river bank; where they were greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the shipping. The number of the imperialists killed and wounded is unknown. Individuslizing is scarcely to be expected in detailing such events as have induced this leer, but I cannot omit pay- ing a passing compliment to Dr. Otis, the Assistant Surgeon of the Plymouth, for his coolness and ac- tivity in attending to the wounded on the ficld of action; and to Mr. Norris, the Captain’s Clerk, who bravely accompanied the forces throughout the en- gagement, As a matter of security, and to prevent their re- occupation, the breastworks of the late eatrench- ments were razed to the ground, under the protec tion of detachments from the Plymouth and Eng- lish men of wer, and picket guards stationed on the outskirts of the settlement, to keep both the rebels and imperialists beyond defined limits. They may, and doubtless will, have many encounters, aud their struggle may long continue, but it is to be hoped, that so far as foreigners are concerned, Grim visaged war has smoothed his wrinkled front, And so ends this strange, eventful history ! .

The Aitack on the Imperialist For:e—Gallant Con- duct of the British and American Forces—Fiight of the Chinese—One of the Americans Kiiled—Fur- ther News of the Imperialists—Rumored Piight of the Emperor, §c., §¢- Since my last several engagements have taken place between the Taoutne’s Imperial army and | the rebels in the city; but, as usual, more powder has been burned than lives lost. But for the past two weeks the army of the Impe- rial Taoutae being encamped on the limits of the race course, which belongs to the foreigners, have been committing various dcpredations, now and then shooting at the foreigners as they pass along. ‘These various outrages had been mentioaed to the Tacutae by both the British and American Con suls; the necessity of their prevention had been urged upon him, on the ground that if any foreign. ers should be injured by bia lawless soldiers, they, the consuls, could not be held responsible for the protection which foreigners might afford themselves. ‘Thus things passed on, till last evening about Cve o'clock, an English lady, escorted by a genticman, was attacked by a band of Taoutae’s men; the gen- tleman was wounded severely by several sword cuts, having nothing but a cane to defend himself, while the lady ercaped with fright only, although the chair in which she was riding was cnt badly in se- veral places. Other Englishmen were attacked about the rame time at different pointa on the course, but none were killed. Upon this news reaching the city, great excitement prevailed. ‘The Consuls of the United States an2 England, in consultation with Capt. Kelly, of the United States sloop-of-war Plymouth, and Capt. O'Callagan, of i. B.M. steamer Encounter, and Capt. Kane, of H, B. M. brig Grecian, concladed to land their forces and by shell to destroy the fort from which the imperi- alists had come who had committed the outrages al- luded to, This was done; and leaving a strong px trol on shore, we passed the night without any fur ther disturbance, | On this morning a note was aildreased by tho British Consul to the general of the imperial army, ordering him to evacuate the forts which he had erected within the limits of the ground occupied by foreigners. Thus was urged from tho fact that his soldiers being new levies, were undisciplined and an- governable, and had shown a decided disposition to atteck and injure foreignors; that if the evacua tion of the forts did not egmmence at $ o'loe Se: ee ‘er. eee wi was had and Capt.

At five minutes to four, (the hour fixed as the limit.) a note was received irom tie Taoutac that} the forts could not be evacuated. The method of attack was then determined upon. Capt.
