LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 26, 184 Thanks be to the Gob of battles, the sword of the French Republic is reaping down the Parisian anarchist's by the hundred ! From the innermost core of our heart we utter that exclamation of grati tude, and we utter it with the most profound reve rence for the doctrines of eternal peace, with a per fect appreciation of the inviolability of human life, with the most intense abhorrence of bloodshed, and, above all, with an indescribable horror at the atroci ties of civil war. Yes—animated as we are with these sentiments, we nevertheless thank GOD, from the vary depths of our conscience, that the madmen who have broken out into open insurrection in Paris are falling rank upon rank before the majesty of an out raged nation. Bloodless the revolution of February was until now, bloodless at least as compared with its predecessors, and the first act of the young Republic was an act of such sublime amenity—an act so glo rious and so gentle—we mean the abolition of the punishment of death for political offences—that it seemed to have invoked the blessing of OMNIPOTENCE, it seemed to have sanctified the victory of the people by a spontaneous sacrifice of vengeance, it promised even to realise that beautiful vision of LAMAR TINE—the vision of a Republic consolidated by order, illumined by magnanimity, consecrated by virtue, and filled with the vitality of Religion. Dur ing three entire months the realisation of that splen • did daydream appeared to be a possibility ; during three months it seemed possible that the Genius of Christianity and the Spirit of Civilization might, by an intimate alliance with each other, lead to the or ganization of a Government " immaculate as a virtue, holy as an idea, and everlasting as a principle." Notwithstanding the reiterated efforts of the terror ists—of those men whose symbol is the red flag, and whose only hopes are those of successful crime and uninterrupted spoliation—notwithstanding the 17th of March, the 16th of April, and the 15th of May, the noble aspiration of LAMARTINE did no t seem to be impracticable, and the progress of mode ration was visible in a thousand auguries of its ulti mate fulfilment. To prove that the lovers of order in the French metropolis were not over-sanguine in the indulgence of such anticipations, look at the calendar of the political events of that capital since the 24th of February. A Provisional Government, aided only by the confidence of the citizens, preserved tranquillity until the inauguration of the National Assembly ; that Assembly concentrated the authority of the law in the hands of five Executive Commissioners; and those Commissioners forgot, for the time being, their , many political differences of opinion, in the fervent unanimity of their patriotism. No effort was ne glected to insure the bloodless re-organization of society throughout France, after the terrible confu sion consequent upon the last triumphant outbreak of demOCraCy• BARBES was confined in Vincennes ; ALBERT was arrested in the Hotel de Ville ; BLANQUI was hunted from his concealment; the Montagnards of ,SORRIER were disbanded ; the Garde Republicaine of CAUSSIDIERRE were transformed from the :soldiers of rebellion into the champions of the Legislature ; Louis BLANC was frightened into an open repudiation of the conspirators ; LEDRU ROLLIN was, by a master stroke of policy, withdrawn from the side of the seditious, and seduced into the ranks of moderation by the lures of supreme power; COURTAIS was rendered for ever after harmless by an unparalleled military degra dation —every man who was considered at all dan gerous to the Republic was deprived of the power of carrying out his yearnings for an insurrection, either by placing him in a false position with his followers, or by conquering him with temptations, or by crushing him under the heel of the Law by a sudden and overwhelming punishment. The admir able success with which those exertions of the Re publican Government were attended, justified the lovers of moderation in looking forward to the day when Liberty—Equality—Fraternity should be not merely a sonorous symbol, but a sublime and visible reality. Meanwhile, the cause of anarchy was gradually accumulating to itself an appalling energy among the obscurer quarters of the capital. Deprived of their leaders, the Terrorists were by no means disposed to despair. They felt that their weakness would he dissipated by the awful and almost irresistible strength derived from the anguish of famine, and the necessity of employment. The urgency of this was felt also—not the less keenly— by the Executive Commission. We can recognise the gradual dawning of the conviction from the day which witnessed the mysterious abduction of EMILE 'fuomAs. Since that event—unwillingly and even furtively, but at the same time vigilantly, and with unutterable emotion—the eyes of the Commission have gazed askance upon the Ateliers Nationaux, upon those establishments which had been founded by benevolence, but which were rapidly merging into dens of insubordina tion, haunted by an insensate and traitorous rabble, agitated by a hatred of proprietors, by an instinct for carnage, and by the fanaticism of ultra-democracy. On Friday, the 23d of June, 1848, the storm which had been so long brewing burst over Paris— ' the Anarchists rose, and against them rose also the friends of order and of moderate republicanism. Often as Paris has resounded with the noise of civil warfare, it never before exhibited such a spectacle of horror and desolation. The 13th Vendernaire was scarcely anything compared to it ; the days of July are as nothing in the balance; and the three days of February will for ever con trast with it as with an epoch of massacre. Imagine to yourself Paris—that Paris which VICTOR HuGo apostrophised only the other day as the metropolis of civilization—imagine to yourself Paris declared in a state of seige, the national representatives sitting in permanence, the diffused power of the Executive Commission concentrated into a temporary Dictator ship, and that Dictatorship confided to the hands of one of the great soldiers of Algeria—to the hands of CAVAIGNAC. Imagine to yourself the throbbing of the rappel in all the arrondissements, the booming of the artillery and the rattling of the musquetry in the streets, the rapid erection of barricades all over that vast city, the hand-to- hand encounters at those barricades, the slaughter of the ouvriers on the one side and of the National Guard and the soldiery on the other. Imagine the Hotel Dieu, the principal hospital of Paris, in the possession of the insurgents, and the sick men and women dying from sheer fright in their beds of agony. Imagine the Clos Saint Lozarre riddled by batteries placed on the heigths of Montmartre, its doors burst open at the mouth of the cannon, and 200 of the Garde Mobile out of one single battalion shot down in the compass of a few hours. Imagine the ruffians in defence of a barricade in the Faubourg Saint Germaine, cutting off the heads of five of this same Garde Mobile and leaving their bodies still warns and bleeding as an omen of death to their comrades. Imagine 1,500 o f th e re b e l s b e i ng marc h e d across the garden of the Luxembourg as prisoners, and the G ar d e M o bil e, i n f ur i ated by their infamies, firing a vo ll ey among t h e gang continuin g kill ing one hundred men i n th at one blaze of 00 n vengeance.tin gwithout Imagine intermissioncarnage and these atrocities for eighteen consecutive hours, and you will then h ave some faint conception the appearance of Paris a n d the condition o f Parisians during Friday an d Saturday. the f From the latest intelligence, however, it would seem that the cause of ord er is proving everywhere victorious. CAVAIGNAC has acted with the resolu tion of a soldier, and the self-devotion of a patriot. The National Assembly, guarded by an imposing force, has maintained the dignity of its character in the midst of its solemn and prolonged deliberations. The Executive Commission, conscious of the grand responsibility imposed upon it by circumstances, h as mingled in the greatest danger, vacating the halls of the Legislature to distribute itself in all parts of the insurgent metropolis. And above all LAMARTINE— TEE MAN of the Revolution—lifts preserved the con sistency of his career and the glory of his reputation. To quote the declaration of one now resident in Paris LAMARTINE has exhibited the greatest firmness and courage, being constantly with General CAVAIG /vac." It was by the side of LAMARTINE that Prince PIERRE BONAPARTE had his horse shot dead under him. It was from the lips of LAMARTINE (speaking from the tribune of the National Assembly) that on Friday came that heroic sentence----" Let it never be forgotten, it is not in such a moment as the present that the Assembly is called upon to show itself in the streets ; that privilege belongs exclusively to the Go vernment; this evening and to-morrow W e a l one ought to march forth, the Assembly remain ing here to deliberate in permanence : as for ourselves (meaning the Commission) it is our duty to march forth into the heart of danger; and, if we have been unable to prevent the effusion of the blood shed so nobly by the National Guard, we ought at least to aspire to the happiness of mingling our blood with theirs." Memorable words those—worthy of the occas i on, o f t h e cause, and of LAMARTINE. With patrotism like that for its defence, the French Republic is indestructible, invincible, eternal! THE INEAV INSURRECTION THE SUN, LONDON,_ MPONDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1848 PARIS. We have received the French papers of Saturday, and intelligence from Paris up to ten o'clock yester day morning. The fighting during the whole of Friday and Saturday had been most severe ; the in surgents, who were well armed, and who were also supplied with cannon, fought desperately, but after immense slaughter they were driven from all their strongholds except the barricades of the Faubourg St. Antoine. General CAvAIGNAc had given them to ten o'clock to surrender, and it was generally supposed they would obey the summons. This has been the most sanguinary and destructive contest that has ever taken place in the streets of Paris ; not only has the loss of life been terrific (1,500 National Guards were killed in the taking of one post alone, that of St. Severin), but many houses have been plundered and burned, and many public buildings de stroyed. The church of the Pantheon, the most beautiful church in Paris, was seized by the insur gents and fortified with four pieces of artillery. It was breached by the artillery of the regular troops and National Guard, who entered by the breach, and after some hard fighting compelled the Communist garrison to surrender. It appears that the 25th of July was the day originally fixed upon for the outbreak, which was arranged upon an extensive scale, and which must have been under the direction of persons well acquainted with strategy and fortification, and who possessed large funds. The barricades were erected, not as they had hitherto been at random, but upon a regular plan, so as to surround the city with fortifications, from which it might be attacked simultaneously at all points, and were garrisoned by men well supplied with arms and ammunition, and in many instances defended by cannon. We continue our narrative of the occurrences or Friday from the account which appeared in The Sun of Saturday. That narrative gave an account of the occurrences of Friday on the right bank of the Seine; meanwhile on the left bank of the Seine there was also much hard fighting going on. M. ARAGO, member of the Executive Government, left the Palace of the Luxembourg at three o'clock on Friday, at the head of strong detachments of the .National Guard, of the Garde Mobile, the Line, and of two pieces of artillery. He presented him self before a barricade at the corner of the Rue Neuve Souffiot and the Rue Saint Jacques, and used such conciliatory language to the men as to cause them to abandon the barricade. But scarcely bad the troops and the National Guard de molished the barricade, when they were assailed by a volley of balls from the neighbouring houses. These houses were immediately entered and searched, and several insurgents were arrested, among others a young man carrying a brace of pistols, who was wounded in the cheek. A trumpeter of the 7th legion was wounded in the cheek, and another trum peter was killed by an emeutier who was arrested. There was a fusillade in the Place du Pantheon, and in the Rue St. Jacques; in the latter street there was a strong barricade near the Rue des Gres. A great number of insurgents took refuge in the houses in the course of construction in the Rue Souffiot, from which they were dislodged by the National Guard, who had to employ their bayonets. In entering the Rue St. Jacques, the National Guard had orders to fire on the individuals who might appear. Meanwhile the insurgents who had abandoned the Rue fSoufflot went to St. Etienne du Mont and rang the tocsin. The barricade in the Rue St. Jacques was carried by the Line and the Garde Mobile, whose conduct merits praise. Barricades were constructed in the Rues des Alathurins, Saint Jacques, and des Poir4ies. M. ARAGO sent cannon against them, and they were demolished, when a sharp fusillade took place between the troops and the insurgents. A captain of the 7th Light Infantry was killed on the barricade, and the company which he commanded suffered a good deal. Several officers and men of the National Guard were killed or wounded. The num-• ber of prisoners was considerable, and all were con veyed to the prison of the Luxembourg under strong escort, in order to protect them against the public in dignation. Another barricade was raised at the bot tom of the Rue de la Harp, at the corner of the Rue Saint Severin. M. MASSON, chef of the 4th batta lion, who ascended the barricade to recommend to the emeutiers to withdraw, was killed there. He had just done speaking when he was struck by five balls. Two soldiers of the line who were with him were also struck. M. AnaGo exhausted all means of preventing a collision. All the troops and National Guards of the 11th legion displayed great courage and admirable devotedness. Several of them had their arms broken in their hands by the balls of the insurgents. An officer of the National Guard, an old soldier, was shot in the bowels ; a sergeant of artillery was seri ously wounded, and several other persons were also injured. An ambulance was established in the Rue Soufllot, and another in the Rue de la Harpe, oppo site the Rue Racine. The greatest praises are due to the employes of Val de Grace—they were every where, and were indefatigable in rendering assistance to the wounded. A surgeon of the National Guard had his thigh broken whilst he was dressing the wound of a man at a little distance from the barricade at the bottom of the Rue de la Harpe. The total number of wounded was, it is said, considerable. The Davis says that several of the prisoners were drunk, and could scarcely walk. At six o'clock M. ARAGO went to a barricade in the Place Cambrai, which was the strongest in the quarter ; but no attention was paid to what he said. An attack was then com menced, the artillery making several discharges, but the barricade energetically resisted. It was carried, however, at one time, but the insurgents soon regained po-session of it. M. ARAGO returned to the Luxem bourg at seven o'clock. The Rue de la Cite, which was occupied about ten o'clock in the morning by the insurgents, was cap• tuned at eight in the evening, after numerous dis charges of artillery and musketry. The firing re commenced immediately after towards the bottom of the Rue St. Jacques, but was much less severe. While the troops of the line were resting on their arms on the Petit. Pont, near Notre-Dame, they were fired on suddenly by sorre insurgents who had mixed with the crowds assembled around, by which four men were killed and several others wounded. Before the soldiers could recover from their surprise the mis creants had mingled in the crowd, and escaped. In a few seconds afterwards the place was cleared by the troops and the Garde Mobile. Some barricades, which had been raised in the Rue Constantine, were carried by the National Guard. At three o'clock the Cite was the scene of great disorders. A column of about 200 individuals formed on the Place Dauphine, under the direction of an elderly man, well known in that quartier, and who had organized the movement there on the lath May. Several of the Old Gerdes Re publicains, in uniform, but without arms, formed part of this assemblage. After drinking several bottles of beer at a cafe at the corner of the place, they announced their intention of marching on the Natio na l Assembly, and raised a shout of " Vire la Re publique dem ocra ti que e t soc i a l e ! F orwar d , t h ose who h ave any courage !'"They had not advanced far before they returned, and quickly dispersed on the arrival of the National Guards. At four o'clock the troops attacked a barricade at the Rue Chateau-Landon, a formidable rampart, composed of materials b e l ong i ng to the Strasburg ' R a il wa y. Musket balls were powerless against such an obstacle, and at five o'clock the cannon were brought to bear on it, and after four discharges the barricade was destroyed. A column of the first legion attacked a barricade in the Rue Nationale Saint Martin. A party of about twenty of the in surgents fired on the National Guard, when an old man, wearing the uniform of a Lieutenant-General, mounted the barricade ; at the same moment a young man advanced towards him, placed a pistol at his head, and threatened to fire if he advanced a step. The veteran soldier, with the greatest sang-froid, knocked the pistol aside and cleared the barricade. The insurgents then yielded. This officer proved to be Lieutenant-General Fire, who about a week since was placed on the retired list by the Government. Several other general officers also rendered valuable service. During the course of the day the following pro clamations were issued : PROCLAM ATION OF THE EXECUTIVE TO TIIE WOUKNIEN OF PARIS. " Citizens,—ln the midst of the criminal sedition with which some misled workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux afflict the capital, the Government, obliged to employ force, feels the necessity of convincing and enlightening the population. Workmen of Paris ! the factions, who pay the meneurs, seek to persuade you that you are comprised in the measures tending to remove from Paris the workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux, whose numbers and disorders weigh at present on Paris, and on the whole Republic. Workmen of Paris, these are odious calumnies ! It is for the interest of you all, it is to cause the resumption of your labours, it is that free workshops may be re-opened to you, that the Republic has resolved energetically to re•esstablish the regular order of labour, and to free Paris from the coalition of pretended workmen, strangers for the most part to the capital. Such of these workmen as have their familes at Paris will not be dismissed until after they shall have found work in private establishments, or they will recieve assistance which will give them the time to I,Jrovide for the necessi ties of their situation. Those who are strangers to Paris calumniate the Government in accufing it of severity to them. The nation has not ceased to occupy itself with their wants, and this very day, at the moment at which an insurrection breaks out in their name, and throws workmen into consternation by alarming credit and trade, they are not dismis*:el without assistance on the road, and at prescribed points of the departments, where useful works and wages are assured them without interruption. Thoughts of the workmen have not ceased to occupy the National Assembly for a single day. Workmen of Paris, become calm; let the wise and necessary measures of the Government for the restoration of labour be accomplished in order and peace. Do not mix yourselves up with the factions paid by the enemies of the Republic to agitate the capital, and propagate the conspiracy of lassitude and dis couragement. The Republic will triumph over them, as over all the others, and serious and honest workmen will gather the first fruits of the victory. Viva la R - publique I" PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR OF PARIS, TO THE MAYORS OF THE ARRONDISSE MENTS. " Paris, 23d June, Three o'clock. " Citizen Mayors,—You have been witnesses since the morning of the efforts made by a small number of turbu lent men to cause the greatest alarm among the popula tion. The enemies of the Republic take all masks, and turn to account all the misfortunes and difficulties pro duced by events. Foreign agents join them, excite and pay them. It is not only cival war which they would light up among us, bnt it is pillage, social disor ganization, the ruin of France which they prepare — and we can divine with what object. Paris is the principal seat of these infamous intrigues, but Paris will not be coma the capital of disorder. Let the National Guards, who are the first guardians of public peace and property, well understand that it is especially themselves, their in terests, their credit, and their honour, which are con cerned. If they abandon themselves they would give the country up to all chances, they would leave families and property exposed to the most frightful calamities. The troops of the garrison are under arms —numerous and perfectly disposed. Let the National Guards place themselves in their quarters, in the streets—the autho rities will do their duty—let the National Guards do theirs. Salutation and fraternity." General PERROT has been appointed commander in-chief of the National Guards of Paris, in place of M; CLEMENT THOMAS, and General CAVAIGNAC has been invested with the command of the National forces in Paris. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. The National Assembly has throughout nobly done its duty. It has been sitting en permanence, or with very short intervals of adjournment since the com mencement of the insurrection, and reports made to it almost hourly give perhaps the best history of the in surrection that can be obtained. On Friday the Assembly met at half-past one. Nothing could exceed the demonstration of force on the Place de In Concorde and around the Chamber. Dragoons, troops of the line, detachments of the Garde Mobile, the mounted National Guard, and two regiments of the line were drawn up as if for battle. But what vas still more imposing was the appearance of fifteen pieces of cannon in front of the bridge. Down the quay, and in the adjoining streets, the force was enormous. No person was allowed to cross the Place, on any pretence whatever, unless with a card. Inside, great agitation prevailed, and the representa tives were in constant movement. In general, as fast as they arrived, au intimation was given them to proceed to the President's hotel, where it would appear that grave deliberations were going on respecting the events passing in the capital. M. Portalis took the chair in the absence of the Pre sident. At a quarter past twelve some of the Ministers were in their place, but the members of the Executive Com mittee were all absent. The Minister of Commerce presented a bill demand ing a credit to pay for the scarfs and flags commanded three mouths back at Lyons. General Lebreton had to propose that, looking at the grave events which were passing in the capital, it would be well if a certain number of members were nomi nated by the Assembly or by the President in its name, to proceed amongst the troops—(Hear, hear) —not to interfere with the military cominander.s in their arrangements, for that he knew ought always to be avoided, and nu one had greater confidence in the ability and determination of General Cavnianac than he had—but to aff,rd them the authority o f their mural influence.—(Hear, hear, agitation, cries of" No, no.") That besides would enable the gentlemen so ap pointad to satisfy the natural impatience of the As sembly to learn whet was going on, by informing the President at once if any important event should take place.—(Agitation). General Leydet must oppose the proposition just made. The representatives ought to do nothing but what it was their emission to do.—(Yes, yes, no, no.) General Cavaignac had the evening before taken every necessary measure of defence. Voices—The order of the day—the order of the day. M. Beaune—Where, when these grave events are passing, are the members of the Exeeutive Committee ? —(Great uproar, cries of "Ay, that's the question.") He thought they ought to be present to — Great agitation .arose here —some Members crying out for the " Order of the day," others " Go on, go on." The Hon. Representative continued for some time gesti culating, but without succeedif ' er in making himself heard. After a while, the uproar having ceased a little, The President said—Does the Assembly wish to pass to the order of the day? Cries of "Yes, Yea," " No, no!" the former predomi nating. TheTh e I) residen Assemblyt— l l h e n shall decidedput t h t e h question. t ue th st e order ion. of the day should be proceeded to. M. Anglade presented a proposition demanding a credit for the purpose of establishing cantonal physi cians throughout the territory. M. Daren presented a proposition to render corn pletely gratuitous the admission and education of (eloves in the naval schools. Both are to be developed hereafter. M. Senard, the President, ascended the tribune with a letter i n hi s hand, and said, I am the bearer of seas• factory intelligence, which has arrived from every part of the eapital.—(Movement.' The two barricades which were raised at the corners of the Rue rainche-Mibray were taken by the Republican guard in conjunction with the National Guard. Other barricades were tuken on other points, by the troops and the National Guards united. In addition I have just received a report from the commissary charged with the special guard of the National Asaembly which states that the barricades on the quays and boulevards have been taken without much difficulty by the troops and National Guards, and demoEshed. The troops had fired Several insurgentshadpresent been fired rat tempteded from windows. several times by platoons at the Porte St. Denis, in which they had been well seconded by the guard mobile, who ha had to fired disarm m t e au . e o usy f imposing owhene h was theots at as sembled st the Hotel de Ville, and everything led to the hope that the attempt thus made would be every where kept down.—(Greet marks of satisfaction.) The rioters, I am happy to say , said the Hon. Representa tive in conclusion, have me t wi th but littl e countenance from the mass of the population. — (Renewed applause.) Considerable agitation followed the announcement. M. Bineau said that the day before the Minister of Public \Vorcks had demanded a credit for a railway, but the confusion was at the time so great that no one could hear what was said. It now appeared that what had been asked for was a credit of six millions, to com plete the part of the line between Chalons-sur-Saone and Lyons. He found that the Minister had no right to act thus whilst the Lyons com p an y was still in exist • once. He thought it very improper for the Minister thus to prejudge the railway question now pending. The Minister of Public Works declared that he had done so only in consequence of negotiations for an amicable arrangement which was at present pending be t een him and the company If the railways we r e not taken by the State, the company could make an allow ance to the State for the mo ne y ex p ended. M. Laforet said that it was he who, as Ma y or o f Lyons, had pressed the Hon ourable Minister to act a s he had done. There were ten thousand workmen at Lyons expecting the dissolution of the national work shops, and it was necessary' to find work for th em . M. Duclerc, the Minister of Finance, said to satify a ll parties, the Bill should be postponed until after the rail , way measure had been decided. M. Floccon wished to say a few words in conse quence of what had a little before been said by an Honourable Representative in the tribune. Wonder was expressed that the Executsre Committee were not at their post. They were in the building, where they had taken up their position, deeming it better to have all the power centralised, the real centre of action being th e National Assembly. All the troubles and agitation which wereoccurring that day, no matter under what name they were encouraged, whether in the name of p re _ tenders, or in the name of workmen led astray by others, all came from one point, from the enemies of the Re public—from gold scattered freely by the hand of fe reigners.—(Agitation, and cries of " Yes, yes.") He addressed all true Republicans, and asked, did they '.up pose that the great example of a throne being overturned and of the nation governing itself could be seen without disturbance? No, that was impossible. But what he wanted especially to direct attention to was the fact that all these attempts were intended to overturn the Re public, and were aided by foreign gold. But such efforts would be found useless, as the Republic was sure to sub sist,—(" Yes, yes;" " Vive la lOpublique.") 1 M. de Falloux presented the report of the Committee on the national workshops. It proposed the following decree :-- " Art. 1. The national workshops shall de dissolved in three days after the promulgation of the following decree. " Art. 2. The national workshops for females are not included in the present decree. " Art 3. A credit of three millions is opened to the Minister of the Interior to give relief at the residences of the workmen. " Art. 4. The Minister of Finance is authorised to lend the guarantee of the State to the discount bank for builders, to the extent of five millions." M. Corbon said the committee of workmen, of which ho was the president, had prepared a decree on the same question. The committee had been unanimous in demanding that the national workshops should be modified, but it did not think that they should be dis solved without giving the workmen the guarantees which they insisted on--(Murmurs)—which they asked for. The committee on workmen was unanimous in wishing fer the dissolution or the re-modelling of the establishments, but they wished that institutions should be formed to supply their place. It was for that pur pose that they had prepared a decree, but which they did not think it their duty to bring forward under the pres sure of a kind of emeute. But, as the obove decree had been read to the Chamber, he had been told that it was necessary that the one he had should also be read. It was as follows: — "Art. 1. Associations of labour between workmen are encouraged and protected by the Republic. The condi tions of each association are freely discussed and de cided on between the parties interested. " Art. 2. The State only interferes as far as the en couragement it furnishes. The encouragements of the State are independent of the institutions of credit des tined to favour agricultural and industrial labour. " Art. 3. There is opened to the Minister of Agricul ture and Commerce a credit of three millions destined to be divided amongst the associations pointed out by Art. 1." The Minister of Public Works said that he had that morning received a deputation of the men employed in the national workshops, and had heard their complaints against the measures intended to be carried into effect relative to them. To their question as to whether the dissolution was to take place immediately, he had replied " No."—(Cries of " Yes! yesl") He now came forward, in the face of the report just presented, to take off from himself the responsibility of that reply as much as he could. The Assembly being consulted voted the previous question. M. Creton had tp ask the Assembly to allow to be discussed d'urgence a proposition, which be had made some time back, to have all the expenses of the Provi sional Government and the Executive Government laid before the Assembly. The Minister of Finance said that the reason of the delay was that these expenses were not incurred in Paris only, but in the provinces; when the returns were corn • piece they should be laid before the National Assembly. M. Creton said that under these circumstances he should propose to send the matter to the Committee on Finance. The Assembly decided that there appeared urgency in the case, but ordered the matter to be sent to the Com mittee as asked for. The President had just received some reports from M. Trouve-Chauvel, the Prefect of Police, which he would read to the Assembly.—(Marks of great interest.) "A quarter-past Eleven—Some officers of the Repub lican Guard, followed by about 40 individuals, entered tho Place Dauphine, crying out Vive la R‘publique Rouge !'—(Sensation.) " Twenty minutes past Twelve—A barricade on the Boulevart Bonne Nouvelle, which was not finished, was abandoned by the insurgents at the ap pearance of the armed force ; they took refuge behind that of the Porte Saint Denis. That at the Porte Saint Martin was taken by the National Guard, whilst a sharp firing took place on the Boule vart Bonne Nouvelle. The Republican Guard I cheval was supported very effectively by the National Guard in forcing the barricades. Contrary to a former report, the captain, who was thought killed, was only wounded; his state is considered satisfactory. "Half-past Twelve.—Several barricades have been taken by the National Guard. Up to this time no troops of the line have appeared on the boulevards. At the Porte Saint Denis, the National Guard are interchanging a sharp firing with the insurgents ; it has taken the bar ricade. Several Gardiens de Paris have been armed at the sth Arrondissement, and march with the National Guard. " One o'clock.—The rappel has just been beat in the Bth Arrondissement (Faubourg Saint Antoine). The National Guard has risen on this occasion, and has even shown great animation. They advanced at a sharp rate. and soon took possession of the boulevard. I hasten to send you this intelligence, because it proves that the Faubourg Saint Antoine will soon be in the power of public force. " Ten minutes past One—The National Guard, united with the troops of the line, are firing in platoons on the boulevards; the barricades are overturned; the National Guard and the line occupy the openings of the streets; the Republican Guard are dispersing the groups. The greatest part of the citizens are hard at work taking down the barricades. " liaMpast One—The barricade of the Porte Saint Denis is now guarded by the National Guard; however, at the corner of the Rue Saint Denis and the Rue du Ponceau, the insurgents are still firing; a woman be longing to the people was wounded. At the corner of the Rue St. Martin and the Rue Saint illery, the Na tional Guards are taking down the barricades; they are doing the same in the Rue Saint Jacques-la-Boucherie. " Two o'clock—At this moment;sorne persons are en deavouring to raise barricades in the Citi, and troops are about to be directed this Moment there, to stop the attempt. " TROUVE CHAUVEL, " Prefect of Police." I have also, said the Hon. President, some other in formation to give to the Assembly. It is the 2d legion which marched on the barricade at the Port St. Denis. It had at its head a representative of the people, a young boy, and M. Lefebvre, a director of the hospitals, who took possession of the flag which was planted on the barricade, and brought it to the Salle de Pas-Perdus, where it now remains. On this subject I must inform you that several representatives of the people demanded from me permission to accompany the armed force; I replied, that they might follow the dictates of their own feelings, but that I could not give them authority to adopt any particular course, nor any particular advice, because, if the Assembly thought that its presence was necessary to support the armed force with its moral au thority, it would go in a body.—(Approbation.) The order of the day was the adjourned discussion o❑ the Railway Bill. M. Guerin supported the Government measure. M. Jobes took the other view of the question. The Assembly, evidently occupied by the events pass ing outside, paid no attention to the discussion. The President—l have just received the following letter:—" Monsieur le President,—The delegates of the decores of July to the number of 1,500 come to place themselves at the disposal of the National Assembly to defend the Republic; they have confidence in the• A ssembly, as they have in the Republic." Cries of " Vive la Republic!" on all sides. A tremendous fall of rain took place at this time, and continued to the evening; it was then about four o'clock. Shortly after a great movement was manifested at the left entrance, and General Cavaignac appeared in full uniform, followed by a numerous staff, all apparently wet through and through. M. Senard took the President's chair. General Cavaignac, Minister of War, ascended the tribune, and said, the insurrection had been nearly put down. Some resistance was still made in the faubourg St. Antoine and the Rue St. Jacques; but it would ap parently be soon put down. The National Guards had behaved • themselves with the greatest vigour.—(Cries of " Vive la Garde Nationale" here burst out.) The Garde Mobile had exhibited a determination and pa triotism worthy of all praise. Also, General Bedeau had just that moment informed him that the Garde lii pubheaine had been admirable is its conduct.—(Cheers.) Everywhere had been heard the cry of " Vive la Re publique!"—(Loud approbation.) Cries of " Vire la Republique!" The whole Assembly here rose and cheered—first the National Guard, then the Garde Mobile, and, lastly, the Garde Republicaine. The cheers continued for some time. The Executive Committee here entered the hall, and M. Garnier Pagis having first appeared, a cry for him arose, and he proceeded to the tribune. M. Gamier Pages—lf the members of the Executive Committee have not come sooner to the Assembly, it is because at this solemn moment it is necessary not to talk but to act, and that with force and vigour.—(Cries of " Yes., yes.") In presence of the armed emeute, organised and paid to cause blood to flow in the streets of the capital, our duty is to act with firmness.—(Hear, hear.) Since the morning, we have been informed that the insurrection was at work, that agitators were paid; we have given orders that the National Guard, the Garde Mobile, the Garde Republicaine, and our brave army should be called to the defence of order. In order to give the command of the troops that unity which is so necessary, we confided to the brave General Cavaignac the command in chief of all the forces assem bled in Paris, and we charged him with the care of .watching over the security of the capital. General Cavaignac with his usual energy and his well-known patriotism collected an imposing force round the National Assembly, from whence they could be directed to the different quarters of Paris. These measures have been attended with the fullest suc cess. But all this is not sufficient, continued M. Garnier PAO i, with great animation; we must punish as well as repress.—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes!") The real people—the people armed—in a word the National Guard—(Loud and renewed cheers)—had shown the most heroic devotedness, the most generous perseverance. But if the armed people, the National Guard, has shown themselves devoted and heroic, the :Iraq, that organized National Guard, has not been less faitaul to the Republic; the Garde Mobile, those youths of Paris, has not less energetically cone its duty. W e must not forget them.—(Hear, hear.) I will now inform the Assembly what the Executive Committee considers it its duty to do, in order to unite our efforts to those who maintain security in Paris. We shall visit all the mayo ries, all the quarters, until until we have seen every trac.! disappear of those paid rioters who disturb and disorganizd society. There are other measures more vigorous still which we shall know how to take.—(lnter ruption.) Several voices—Explain yourself—What are they ? M. Garnier•l'ages—l am asked what they are. I shall at this moment confine myself to mentioning the measures that are to be immediately taken—March against the rioters wherever they are to be found, and against the barricades wherever . they may be erected, that is what we are going to do.—(Agitation.) iLoud cries of "Vive la, Garde Nationale! Vive l'Armee! Vive la It‘publique!" here resounded through the Chamber. M. Bonjeun fully agreed with the Hoe. Member, who had just spoken, that this was the time fur action. lie would, therefore, renew the proposition of General Le breton, fur some of the Deputies to march with the troops, fur where the National Guards exposed their lives there the Deputies should be also. M. de Lamartine—l have no desire, you may be cer tain, to prolong your deliberations, for this is not the moment to deliberate but to act. I have to thank the Assembly for the sentiment which would induce it to go and mingle with the National Guard ; but let us not forget that this is not the moment to carry into execu tion those generous feelings of courage which are sure to be found in a body like yours. Whilst you remain here, the Executive Committee will do its duty—the evening that is coming on and the morning of to-morrow will prove it. Tomorrow, besides, we shall be ready to demand from you a Bill of indemnity, or to accept a Bill of impeachment. But this evening. in the presence of the dangers which beset us, but which we must not allow the night to increase, we ought to remain unfettered in our action. In order that the Assembly be respected by the country, it ought to remain to a man at its post. — (Hear, hear.) As to us, we shall go where the mandate you have confided to us orders us to proceed—where duty, glory, and danger call us !—(Cheers.) Unhap pily the National Guards have been wounded. If we have not been able to staunch their blood, we shall at least be happy to mingle with it some drops of our own ! M. Lagra ge rose and said that, under the circum stances, he withdrew his demand to interpellate the Go vernment. His object had been to prevent the present dreadful outbreak in the capital. He wished, however, to have his statement to that effect read from the chair. The President read a paper to the effect mentioned. The President The circumstances are still un doubtedly serious. I hope I shall not have occasion to use another expression, but the success obtained up to this time will prevent mo the necessity of modifying that term. The Assembly once separated, its members may be uneasy ; your President, who thinks he has done his duty—(Cries of " Yes! yes!")—also requires to come for your opinion. I propose, therefore, that the sitting shall be suspended, and be resumed at a lacer hour. Several Voices—At what hour ? Other Voices—Let the sitting be permanent. The President—When I propose a suspension and a resumption, that does not imply that the sitting is not permanent. On the contrary, let the Assembly declare itself en permanence, and then let it suspend its sitting, and resume it again this evening. A Voice—At what hour? The President—Let it be at eight o'clock, unless any grave events should occur. Eight o'clock was then agreed to. The Representatives quitted their places and began to leave the Chamber; but scarcely had they done so for more than a minute when a sudden rush brought back a considerable number of them. It was rumoured that another dispatch had been brought for the President. M. tienard resumed the chair, and an usher handed to him a sealed packet. The Representatives collected in a circle at the foot of the tribune. The President, after having glanced over the paper, said—l do not think that I can inform the Assembly of this dispatch until I have conterred with General Cavaign.c, or one of his aides-decamp. This announcement excited considerable curiosity and interest, no one being able to say whether the intel ligence was favourable or the contrary. The President gave up the chair to M. Lacrosse, one of the Vice-Presidents, who excused himself for sitting in the uniform of a Colonel of the National Guard. He announced that, though the sitting should be suspended until eight o'clock, the President's chair should always be occupied, and that the Secretaries and the rest of the Bureaux should remain at their post. The Representatives then gradually left the Chamber. It was half-past five o'clock. EVENING SITTING. At half-past eight the Representatives again took their places ; the public galleries were crowded with spectators. M. Portalis, one of the Vice-Presidents, was in the chair. He said—No official communication has been transmitted to us. I regret to announce that our worthy colleague Cl6 , nent Thomas has been badly wounded, though not so greviously as was thought at first. Much blood has been shed in Paris. M. Considiirant--During the time that the sitting was suspended, I have spoken to a number of persons who conversed with groups in various quarters where the fighting was going on. These communications have proved to me that there is a misapprehension on the part ot the insurgent population—(Violent murmurs) — that a number of the men were misled, and that a pro ceeding on the part of the Assembly could easily restore peace in the capital. I have drawn up a proclamation, which I submit to the Assembly.—(No, no.) M. Payer stated that he had just come from the Quartier Latin. There were barricades in the Rue St. Jacques, Rue des Mathurins, and the corner of the Rue Sorbonne. Two ot them had been taken by M. Arago and M. Lamartine. On the Place St. Michel there were five pieces of cannon, and the insurgents had been fired on. M. Raynal—Why do you only mention two members of the Provisional Government? M. Payer—l only speak of what I saw. The Minister of Finance had gone to the Faubourg St. Denis, where a barricade was attacked. Their colleague, Pierre Bonaparte, was with him, and had his horse wounded in the leg. General Francois was wounded, as was a chef de batail lon. General Cavaignac and General Lainorie*e were at the head or the troops. The insurrection was concentrated on that side between the Chateau d'Eau and the Rue de Bondi, La Chapelle, and the Place de la Bastille. Every precaution was taken for the Champs Ely:6-3s and the Place de la Concorde. Just at this moment a shot was heard from outside. Some agitation ensued, but it was soon ascertained that it was a musket which had gone off by accident. The President could not receive the proposition of M. Consid6rant. No conditions could be come to with insurgents.—(Bear, hear.) M. Considecaut ascended the tribune, but the tumult which arose was so great that it was impossible for him to obtain a hearing. We at last understood him to say that he demanded a secret committee to consider the terms of his proclamation.—(Loud cries of "No, no.") M. Baze—l demand the previous question. This was pronounced in the midst of excessive tumult, and the proposition was set aside. The President—M. Arago has just informed me that he has passed the greater part of the day in face of the barricades, and that several times arrangements were proposed by the insurgents, but that he had always re fused unless they first laid down their arms —(Appro bation.) Every proclamation whatever would be in disastrous contradiction with the conduct of that mem ber of the Executive Committee. M. Leon Faucher had to demand permission to inter pellite the Minister of the Interior.—("No ! No ! wait until the disorders have ceased !") M. Caussidiere—Twenty-five National Guards of the 10th Legion have fallen! Blood still flows, shed by French hands! Will you stop this dreadful state of things? It is not by vain proclamations. The Repre sentatives ought all to go out and join the officer in com mand, and the Executive Committee. If you wish to stop the civil war, go out without pomp and attendants amongst the people.— (T he noise which arose drowned the voice of the speaker.) The' Minister of Finance ascended the tribune, but the agitation was so great that he could not obtain a hearing. The President—lt was absolutely necessary that the Ministers should always be heard. The Minister ;ot Finance—What could you do in the street? General Cavaignac is on the place of combat. If a catastrophe, which I do not anticipate, should take place, there would then be no Government—the factious would be masters.—(Agitation.) The people are well inclined, but it is calumniated to you, as you are to it. The barricade near which I stood was defended by the old Republican Guard, but not the new one—(Move ment ot indignation)—and I have to state that the in surgents were armed with the muskets which were spoken of here a month back.—(Agitation.) I conjure you to remain firm at your post. A Voice—Suspend the sitting. The President—l put the suspension to the vote. The Assembly decided that the sitting should be sus pended for half an hour. It was then half-past nine. At a quarter past ten o'clock M. asaard, the Presi dent, took the chair. General Cavaignac ascended the tribune—l regret not to be able to give you but an incomplete account of what is passing. There has been on several points a very serious resistance, particularly in the Faubourg du Temple. Generals Lamoriciere and Lafontaine have rendered themselves masters of all the positions. The space comprised between the boulevard and the barriers in the north is quite disengaged. There still remain barricades in the Faubourg St. An toine, where General Reclean commands. I am about to employ all the d6posable troops to put down the insur rection. The National Guards of the banlieue are ar riving, and orders have been given to send in additional troops by the railways.—(Agitation.) Tne President—l have nut received any general re port, but the short accounts sent in to me announce that the insurrection is being put down on every point. M. Etienne Arago begged to re-assare the Assembly regarding the departure or the couriers. Several mails had been stopped at and on their way to the Northern Railway, but that was soon remedied, and they had all departed fur their destinations. The President wished to submit to the Assembly a proposition which had been suggested to him by what had been said during the debate. Endeavours had been made to deceive the people and even the National Beard; a report had been spread that the National Assembly was in a state of complete dissolution, and that it did not intend further to defend the Republic. He consi dered that these calumnies required a formal denial. I n consequence, he propsed that the Asit'utbly should adopt the following formal resolution:— " Tbe National Assembly decrees— " Art. 1. The National Assembly declares itself en permanence. '• Art. 2. The National Assembly, resolved to Nail in their widest extent the great duties imposed on it b) the confidence of the nation, firmly relies for the main tenance of the• d e mocratic laws and institutions con quired by France, on the patriotism and assistance of all good citizens. The whole Assembly rose up to cries of Vive la Re publique fi. A n thony Thouret thought that a word should be added that the Assembly like,ise counieJ on the artily. Tne resolution was adopted by acclamation. M. Lagrange said that the Assecatly might have p-r -ceived how anxious he had been to sacrifice eve ryiiiing tothe Republican u n i on , whi c h oug ht to be the object l :ll7Y tinjnet of Of all. By not stating the reasons which induced me to addrees intorpellatients W the Executive Committee, whom I accuse of not hiving taken all the measure% necessary to prevent the torn siuti, I have corunromisd a popularity justly acqnted. —(Agitation.) Ido riot stand here now to inquire oto the parricide interitions of thooe woo have placed ab l e in the hands of brothers against brothers. I only wsh to say that w e should all die in our places if necessity. Even were that to occur, the Republic will not pert.b. But if any one attempted to overturn it, then woe std imprecation be on than who have wished to commit tlitt parricidal act ! Woe to any pretender who should pri. sume to sit on the throne which February has cast down t Let us show ourselves worthy to be Frenchmen. " Vivo la Republique !" The sitttug was again suspended amidst the utmost agitation. . _ • - During this suspension the affairs of the day were discussed. M. Bixio, one of the representatives, had, it was said, been mortally wounded by a ball in the breast. At eleven o'clock the sitting was resumed. M. de Lamartine was in his place. M. Garnier-Pages ascended the tribune, and related, in the name of the Executive Commission, the state of Paris up to that hour. M. Arago, he said, had re ceeded to the 12th arrondissement, and himself, in union with the troops, mounting on the barricades, had fora long time parleyed with the insurgents, and succeeded in gaining some of them ; but, being stopped by others, be had energetically summoned the insurgents to surrender. " This being without avail," continued the Hon. Repre sentative, " we were obliged to fire the artillery on them. —(Sensation.) At present, in the 11th and 12th arrondissements, only a few points remain occupied by the insurgents. General Lametz had so surrounded them that he hoped at break of day to put the factious down. In the Faubourg du Temple Generals Cavaignac and Lamoricidre had carried all the barricades. A fey► still remained, but in the morning •order would be re stored. The National Guards of the banlieue had an• swered the call ; those of Versailles and St. Germain are arriving, while the National Guards of the Seine- Inf6rieure, the Loiret, and the Somme are on the march. Many serious losses have to be deplored. Generals Thomas and Bedeau have been wounded. Our col league M. Donis has been badly wounded, and it it feared that another, M. Bixio, is in such a dangerous state that he will not survive the night. The Executive Committee has done and will continue to do their duty in these sad circumstances, though we hoped to have triumphed by to-morrow." He concluded by begging the Assembly to rely on the Committee as it relied ups them. M. Degoussee denounced an anarehiee journals Organisation du Travail, which, with Some others, had calumniated the National Assembly, and excited tbe people against it. Ile demanded to have it seized, for • the National Guards had, in their indignation, wished to break the presses, but he had engaged them to rely upon the laws. The Minister of Finance said, that the Government would do its duty, but could not allow the very pre' ventive measures, against which they had contended for seventeen years, to be now enforced. Though a con spiracy existed, they would put it down in a legs/ manner.—(Hear, hear.) A Member said that, though the National Guard and the troops were being slaughtered for them, they had . not even once thanked them.—(Loud cries of denial, end calls to order, interrupted the speaker.) Another Member recommended that the barricades already taken should be guarded, so that the insurgent's might not in the night resume possession of them. The President recommended that the Chamber should now suspend the sitting until eight in the morning. Many voices.—That is too late : until five o'clock. Other Members cried out that they ought to continue sitting all night. The President.—The permanence is suspended until eight to-morrow morning. The sitting was terminated at midnight. SITTING OF SATURDAY. RESIGNATION OF THE EXECUTIVE. —GE NERAL CAVAIGNAC APPOINTED DIC TATOR.—PARIS IN A STATE OF SIEGE. The Assembly met at a quarter-past eight o'clock. The President at once proceeded to describe the state of affairs. There had been no attack on either side from the time they left last night to one o'clock. The in surgents appeared to have extended their means. Se" veral barricades that had been destroyed yesterday were restored, and, in fact, the insurrection had spread. Se bad no doubt that from the measures taken to confine the insurrection within a particular quarter that in A few hours it would bo put down. Nevertheless, an energetic struggle would be required, and they could count on the National Guard, the army, and the Mo' bile Guard. He then announced the arrival of rein forcements of National Guards and troops from thedepart ments. He mentioned that it was the feeling of many members of the National Assembly that they ought to testify their gratitude to the National Guard in some better way than mere thanks. He had, therefore, to propose that a provision he made in the name of the Re public for widows and orphans of National Guards Rho had fallen in its defence. M. Dupont would propose that nothing be added to the words expressive of gratitude. , M. 0. Barrot would say, in the name of grateful France. The proposition was adopted unanimously. A letter was read from M. St. George, a member, stating that he was seriously wounded. The President stated that the wound of M. Betio was very severe; the wounds of M. Domes and of General Thomas were not so dangerous. It was not true that General Lamoriciere had been wounded. The sitting was suspended until half-past nine o'clock. On their reassembling 111.

An attempt was made by the Communist Members of the Assembly to get up a discussion, but General Caviagnac put an end to it by saying, " Ci• tizenb, I conjure you to cease these discussions. In an hour, perhaps, the Chamber may be taken. This is a time for energetic measures not discussion."
