FRANCE. THE INSURRECTION IN PARIS.

The following particulars connected with this Insur- rection appear to posses sufficient interest to warrant a place, after the general account given in our Jast No. BLOODY SCENE AT THE ECOLE DE MEDICINE—

SEVERAL DEPUTIES AND GENERAL OFFICERS KILLED AND WOUNDED,

At ten o'clock, p. m., the firing had nearly ceased. The national guard, the garde mobile, and the troops were under arms. ‘There was no means of approaching the theatre of the struggle, so that it was not possible to learn if the insurgents had retained their position. ‘The engagement was very bloody in the quarter of the Ecole de Medicine. It was said that M. Pascal, the Hieutenant-colonel of the 1lith legion, and M. Avrial, banker, had been mortally wounded.

M. Bonjeav, and M. Bixio,on learning at the Assembly the disorder in Paris, said that the members of the As- sembly should be the first to expose themselves to the fire, *Our place (said M. Bixio) is at the head of the national guard, to stop, if possible, the effusion of blood ; and borrowing the scarf of one of the members, he im- mediately left the Chamber to carry out his declaration. M. Bixio has been shot in the breast, and it is feared he <annot sutvive. M. Clement ‘Thomas has received a ball in the thigh. General Bedeau has also been wounded inthe thigh. M.

At noon enormous barricades were erected between the Rues St. Denis and St. Martin, constructed en- tirely of paving stones about fifteen feet thick: they

Faubourg Poissonniere. DEFEAT OF THE INSURGENTS AT THE PANTHEON.

At half-past three the insurgents were driven to the

Pantheon and there surrounded; they fought despe-

rately and with a courage which would be admirable if

devoted to a just cause. The Pantheon was recovered from the insurgents, after three hundred discharges of cannon, about five o’clock,

Fourteen battalions of the line and the 2let regiment

were around the chamber during the day. A battery

of artillery with matches lighted were on the quay.

Under the peristyle of the chamber two field howitzers

were placed. ‘I'he cuirassiers were in great furce on the

Place de la Concorde.

DESPERATE CONTEST AND SLAUGHTER AT THE CHURCH OF ys’. SEVERIN AND THE CLOS ST. LAZARE,

The contest near the Northern Railway was most

desperate. ‘The head-quarters of the insurgents was the

Church of St. Severin, situate in the quarter St. Jacques,

near the river. ‘Phe fortress and citadel was the Fau-

bourg St. Antoine, occupied and barricaded throughout.

On the other side the insurrection was in the quarters

St. Marcel, St. Victor, and the lower part of the querter St. Jacques. Paris was thus lapped in a large sewicirele

by aline of fortifications. ‘The Clos St. Lazare was

fortified so as to be rendered almost impregnable. It was protected by immense barricades,and the insurgents were jatrenched in an hospital now erecting. ‘T'his post was connected with advanced works extending to the heights of the Faubourgs St. Dennis, St. Martin, La

Chapeile, La Villette, the ‘Temple, the quarter called Popincourt, and the Faubourg St. Antoine. ‘i'here was great slaughter here. The national guards arrived from Poissy and Pontoise drew up before the barricade

The church St. Gervais, immediately behind the Hotel de Ville, had to be taken from the insurgents with cannon. The bridge of Notre Dame had te be swept by cannon, as well as the Quai aux Fleurs, A ‘house of business, six stories high, called ‘La Belle Jardiniere, on this quay, was demolished by cannon- balls. It had been taken possession of by the insurgents. At six o'clock, by the reduction of the place Lafayette, the Cios St. Lazare was isolated,

HORRID BUTCHERIES BY BOTH THE TROOPS AND

INSURGENTS, A dreadful act of butchery was committed on this

without injury. Hearing, however, that the troops of the line were coming down in force, they determined to abardon the barricade, but at the same time they came

to be patrolled by troops. ste Member of the Assembly also patrolled the principal

streets abvut noon, each escorted by detachments of

On the Place Maubert, after two hours, the insu were driven out, and took refuge at the top of the Rue St. Victor. The troops followed, and kept up a fire on them. Inthe Faubourg St. Marceau the insurgente defended their barricades with obstinacy. At this point the women threw boiling oi] and water from the win- dows on the troops.

Regiments of the line, infantry and cavalry, continued. to arrive during the morning from the departments. At six several legions of national guards from the pro- vinces marched into Paris. The quarter of the capital around the Chamber and the Tuileries was literally covered. with troops, who bivouacked jn the street and places. ‘The Place de Ja Concorde and Champs Elysees presented the aspect of a camp.

The engineers soon began the work of mining the houses where the insurgents had taken refuge, the staircases of which had been destroyed. Several thou-. sand prisoners. were taken ameng the insurgents; many of them were immediately shot. The vaults of Notre Name, the Louvre, the Tuileries, and the Assembly, were filled with them.

All circulation through the streets was interdicted, except to such as were armed.as national. guards, or those why bore passes, or servants going for the neces- sary articles of provisions.

Vehicles from the Pompes Funebres were seen passing every where, to carry away the dead. Never was such a spectacle witnessed as. Paris presented.

Members of the Assembly, distinguished by their tri- coloured scarf, were seen in. groups of ten or twelve, patrolling the strects. Whenever they passed between the Chamber and the Hotei de Ville, they never failed to be fired upon by insurgents from the windows. Although the number of regular troops in Paris, with the accession of the arrivals, did not exceed 30,0006: the number of national guards was incalculable ; alto- gether 300,000 troops. were in the city. ;

The insurgents who were in possession of the Halle aux Vins poisoned the wines, with the wew of destroy- ing the troops and the national guard, in which they succeeded. ; THE FAUBOURG ST. ANTOENE ATTACKED BY THE.

'FROOPS. WITH GREAT SLAUGHTER—LETER- MINED STAND OF THE INSURGENTS,

A delay allowed the insurgents in the Faubourg St. Antoine to surrender, having expired without any reply, the operations commenced, — The first barricade was vigorously attacked and carried, but not without consi- derable slaughter on the side of the assailants. Colonel Baynaud, of the 48th regiment of the line, and several officers were killed. General Boquet, of the engineers, arrived at the Place de Ja Bastile, with the firemen and saypers. Some houses were in an instant blown up, and severa) barricades thus turned were captured without loss. On some points the insurgeats had dug trenches,, against which. artifery was unavailable, They fired from within, and, on the approach of the troops, escaped, through passages. opened in the cellars of the houses. A large body sallied from the suburb towards noon entered the island of St, Louis, and formed a barricade on the Pont les Tournelles, which was undergoing repairs. ‘Shey were there kept in check by troops sto tioned in the wine stores on the opposite side, and were actually placed within two fires.
