IISLODGRMENT OF THE INSURGENTS IN THE) RUE ST. ANTOINE—DREADFUL CARNAGE AT: THE BARRICADES, : The insurgents only occupied some points on the left bank inthe evening. ‘They had been dislodged from cheir positions in the Rue St. Antoine and the streets which are between the Hotel de Ville and the basin of! the canal... The national guard and the troops were in ‘ke Bastille to La Chapeile St. Dennis. After the Place du Pantheon was taken, the barricades ofthe Rue Vielle Estrapade, and the Rue Netve St.’ ‘zenevieve were still to be forced. For five hours the -annen roared incessantly. The most dreadful carnage ensued ; and it was not before four o’clock (the attack »aving commeneed at one) that these streets were freed, and that @ representative of the Ardenneés, M. Payer, whose house had been invaded by the insurgents, could get out of his house and come to the Assembly. THE INSURGENTS DRIVEN FROM THE CLOS ST. LAZARE WITH AN IMMENSE LOSS OF BLOOD. The members of the National Assembly had ‘scarcely | Jett their seats at half-past four on Sunday, when the) President read {a letter from M. Armand Marrast, de- claring that the insurrection was now nearly at an end. ‘The troops of the Republic were in possession of the' sreater part of the strongholds of the insurgents, the 9th |amusement were excited by this long string of mea- hoped by such a plan that that of the insurgents would THE, EXAMINER; rere ome Ne, make which he considered exceedingly necessary.

Great surprise and some sures. ‘The proposition was laid on the table. Tue Arcusisnop or Parts.—During the reigns of Louis XfV. and his successor, many were the stories of the corruption, the profligacy, the worldiness of the Roman Catholic hierarchs, but then they were very rich, and wealth and clerical Christianity are held to be anta- gonistic. Buteven then there were many most excellent men. We need but recall one instance—how a brave prelate tended the plague-stricken, himself unscathed— ‘Why drew Marseilles’ good bishop purer breath, When nature sickened, and each gale was death ? At the present time, and especially since the Revolution of February, the French priests have shown themselves unworldly, wise counsellors, prompters of peace, Chris- tain ministers. Their chief has fallen. On Sunday evening the Archbishop of Paris was shot at the Pal- ace de ja Bastille in his attempt--carrying a flag of truce—to induce the insurgents to surrender, to parley, to ask fer or accept terms, to use his mediation—shot with the werds of persuasion and benediction on his tongue. Sucha crime were enough to damn any eause. An old man slaughtered in the exereise of the noblest Christain heroism—butchered by those he thought to save. It might be done in ignorance—what a thing is civil war!—but there seems no doubt that the shot came from the insurgents, though it might not be meant for the Archbishop. History will be eloquent in des- cribing sach a man. This was not his solitary appear- ance amidst the strife. He visited the wounded, pray- ing with, comforting, and, as far as he could, relieving their wants. We find the following account in the Univers : Tse Arcnstsuop’s Cosine Scene. On reaching the scene of combat, the archbishop asked the colonel in command to stop his fire for a few moments; he also be suspended, and that during his temporary truce he might come toa parley with them. he colonel yielded, and the firmg ceased on both sides. ‘The in- surgents, mounted on their barricades, held the butt- mnairie had been taken, and the other points towards the aubourg St. Antoine, but at an immense loss of blood. | Never had anything like it been seen in Paris. (Great sensation.) The Clos St, Lazare was in possession of the troops, and a a few dropping shots were now. heard. All would that night be finished. The troops! had behaved most admirably. ‘The insurgents had! znade interior comrtitnications between the houses from one to the other, and the troops were obliged to force! them one by one. The 8th mairie, the last stronghold’ of the insurgents, was then being attacked. The Pre-| sident read a proclamation to the insurgent workmen of! a conciliatory character. During the night the irhabitants of some parts of the | vards, they were compelied to put out all lights and close their shutters during the night. The sentinels led out every ten minutes, “Sentinel, prenez garde « vous!” each so as to be heard by the next. These words, a8 heard from a Jine of sentinels, sounded like the successive repetition of an echo. NOSTILITIES AGAIN COMMENCED—SURRENDER OF THE INSURGENTS AT THE FAUBOURG ST. AN- TOINE. ‘Lostilities were resumed at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, ind, after a short contest, the insurgents in the Fau- bourg St. Antoine surrendered unconditionally. This was the last stronghold of the revolt, the Clos de St. ‘azare having been already stormed. In this latter place the insurgents had entrenched themselves ina strongly fortified position, on a wide elevated plain, in the ‘vicinity of the station of the Northern Railway. ‘his’ plain, which is scattered over with out-hottses, vuilding materials, and timber, was converted into a -egular fortress, in a manner which rendered it impreg- nable without a regular siege. Many thousands of the nsurgents were quartered inside. Various attempts had been made to carry it by storm, but in vain, and on Sunday General Cavaignac determined to take it, and ordered it to be mined, advancing guns and shells against it. GENERAL Cavaienac as Presipent.—On Wednes- day GeneralCavaignac resigned his extraordinary powers at the head ofthe Executive Power, whereupon the Assembly passed him a vote of thanks by acclamation. ‘ibe Ministers then tendered their resignations, which were d@ecepted ; and a decree was passed confiding to) vieneral Cavaignac the Executive power, with the title’ of President of the Council, and with power to appoint his own Ministers. It was arranged that the funeral of the victims should take place on Friday. The remain- der of the sitting was occupied with preparations and auggestions as to the inquiry into the causes of the late éutbreak, M. Remy said that he hada proposition to order could not reconcile it to themselves to see the / —. © \the request of the prelate, and advanced, and were thus capital were compelled by the authorities to keep their! face to face with their enemies. Reproaches and threats windows illuminated. In other parts, as on the boule-| ends of their muskets in the air. The archbishop and his two vicars-general, M. Jacquemet and M. Ravinet, advanced towards the barricade. One manalone dress- ed in a blouse, preceded him, carrying a branch ofa tree in his hands as a mark of conciliation. The insurgents descended from their barricade, some of them appeared pacifically inclined, and others with menace in _ their features and in their language. By a zeal which can be readily understood, the combatants on the side of archbishop thus exposed to the rage of men who had onthat very day murdered some persons who had been sent to parley with them. ‘They therefore neglected were exchanged, anda personal struggle took place, ithe disastrous consequence of which the ecclesiastics ‘sought to prevent in the name of religion, and of the Pontiff who came there'to stop the effusion of blood, to \save those who had taken up arms, ard their wives and jchildren. During these altercations, a musket was fired, \but itis not known on which side. ‘In an instance a \cry of * Treason, treason!’ arose; the combatants retir- ‘ed, and the firing became more severe than ever. The archbishop was thus placed between two fires ; he show- ed no alarm, he advanced towards the batricade, and Still accompanied by his viears-general, mounted it and reached the summit. He was thus in view of both par- ities. ‘The balls whistled round him. One of his atten- | dants had. three balls through his hat. The mediator ‘Showed himself, and what voice could be more eloquent than this heroic apparition! But his sacrifice was to be completed. He came down from the Calvary where death ‘had spared him, and had scarcely descended a few steps, when he fell pierced in the loins by a ball which ap- | peared to have come froma window at the side. A ‘faithful servant who followed unknown to his . master, endeavoured to catch him in his arms, but was himself ,Wounded inthe side, Let us render justice to every one; the insurgents ran to his assistance, and carried /him to the Hospital of the Quinze Vingts, and placed a guard over him, ‘They procured the signatures of all | present to attest that he was not shot by the persons to ‘whom he had first spoken, and they appeared very anx- jlous to have this point clearly stated. The news of the event soon spread through the Faubourg, and pro- duced an extraordinary sensation. In an hour after- wards the firing ceased not torecommence. The Chris- |tian calmness and serenity which induced and sustain- ed the conduct of the archbishop never left him. .On M. Jacquemet rejoining him,the archbishop begged him. as a friend to tell him what he thouzht of his condition. ‘Is my wound serious? Is my life in danger ?’— It is.’| —‘ Well then,’ replied the archbishop ‘let God. be prais- ed, and may he accept the sacrifice which I again offer jhim for the salvation of this misguided people. May my death expiate the sins which I havecommitted during my episcopacy!

THE REFORM MOVEMENT. Ay.espury.—A very large-meeting of the inhabitanre: of Aylesbury was héld in the County-hall, on Wednes: day evening, ‘to take the sense of the town upon»the Reform measures of Mr. Hume.’ Lord Nugent, M. P., for the borough, attended and supported a resolution jn © favour of a residential suffrage of twelve ‘months; trien- niel Parliaments, vote by ballot, and equal electoral dis- tricts. His lordship, however, took a slight ‘exeeption » to the last point, on the ground that electoral districts » could not be worked. Mr. Houghton, the defeated car.» didate at the late election, also supported the resolution; ’ The other speakers were chiefly Chartists in principle, and some of them avowed that a republican’ form of” Government would be the most secure. The’ resolution * was unanimously adopted, and a petition to Parliament: founded upon it subsequently agreed to. iw Berwick-on-T'wEep.—A_ petition to the House of” Commons in favour of Mr. Hume’s motion for the 20th inst., having been prepared in this town, 1,000 si tures and upwards were attached in the course of two” days, although the petition lay in one shop alone. 4) | Briewron.—The Chartists having declared at a pre- liminary meeting, that it was their intention, if a meet- ing was held, to propose an amendment in favour of the ‘six points,’ and take the sense of the meeting upon it ; and if they were* beaten, they would then co-operate in carrying out the resolution, it.was determined to getup a requisition tothe -high constable to calla meeting. This was done, and the high constable agreed to cal! the meeting, provided it was not held earlier than Mon- day, the 19th, in order to give time for notice to be given in all the local papers. This being too” late a day to allow the petition to be presented before Mr. Hume's motion came on, and the constable refusing to alter his determination, the requisitionists applied for the use of the town-hall; but the town-hall committee decided on. not permitting the use of any room for such a meeting unless called by the high constable. Doncaster.—A public meeting was held here on Wednesday night, which was numerously attended, for the purpose of petitioning for a reform in the House of Commons. A requisition, signed by about ninety house- holders, had been presented to the mayor, who in eon- sequences, convened the meeting. Several resolutions, in support of Mr. Hume’s forthcoming motion, were propounded and agreed upon; and a petition to Parlia- ment, embodying the same, and praying for retrench- ment of national expenditure, and a change in the en tire system of taxation, was also adopted for signature by the inhabitants. | id East Kenr.—The men of Fast Kent are‘up and. doing.’ By the constitutional means of quiet and order ly petitioning, they are resolved to convince the Pariia- ment and the Premier, that they earnestly desire to see. ‘the prosperity and integrity of the empire secured, by# real and essential representation’—' a representation which shall be co-existent with taxation,’ and ‘ based on the general goodwill! of the people.’ Sucl: is the scope and drift of a petition which has received the signatureé of the mayor, the sheriff, the city coroner, several of the aldermen and town-councillors, and upwards of four hundred of the inhabitants of Canterbury, in littie’ more than forty-eight hours, and it is confideutaliy expected that, in the next few days, the list will be swelled to 1,200. The energetic example, set in Hast Kent by Canterbury, is being zealously emulated by Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, Deal, Sandwich, Folkestone) and the towns and populous villages generally in this divi- sion of the county. Epineurcu.--A meeting of the electors of Edin- burgh, called by cirenlar, was held in the Chamber of Commerce, on the 10th instant, to consider the expe- diency of supporting Mr. Hume’s proposed motion. Mr. W. Chambers having been called to the chair, a disens- sion.ensued on the subject before the meeting, by whic! it was made apparent that there is in Edinburgh 2 hearty desire to repudiate the allegation of Lord John Russell, as to a suspension of all public interest in re- form, and also to support in its géneral bearing the motion of Mr. Hume. I[t was the general wish that 4 public meeting in advocacy of these views should be . held; but it being represented that there was not now sufficient time to make the proper arrangements, it was finally agreed that a petition to Pariiament, urging the necessity for a reform in the representation, should be immediately submitted for the signature of the inliabi- tants.
