they pumped turpentine from a fire-engine in a house
in the Faubourg Poissonni&e, from which the Na-
tional Guards and troops were tiring on them, and
then tried to set the house on fire.
In the mairie of the sixth arrondissement, Rue de
Vendome, which was captured by the insurgents,
30,000 ball-cartridge were found, which were carried
away. This mairie, as well as the Bth and 9th, was
recaptured from the insurgents in the course of yes-
terday.
The colonel who replaced General Duvivier in the
command of the district of the Ilotel-do- Ville, and
who was promoted to the rank of general de brigade
for his bravery, is said to have fallen yesterday under
the balls of the insurgents.
M. Jamet, a representative, had a narrow escape.
He went alone to a barricade in the Rue Meslay, with
hie scarf, &c., and endeavoured to appeal to the in-
surgents. He was received with cries of " Down with
the representative! Down with the National
Assembly," and was surrounded by a furious crowd,
who menacingly brandished their weapons at him.
His Ife was at one moment seriously in den-
danger, but at length it was decided to de-
tain him as a prisoner. A combatant, how-
ever, stepped forward, and cried—" No doubt he is a
yueatz 1e reprAgentaitt ; but as he had the courage to
trust us, let him be off!" The ranks then opened,
and M. Jamct was allowed to escape.
The Side and other journals of yesterday stated
that M. de Narbonne and his domestic, having been
found among the insurgents with arms in their hands,
near the Luxembourg, were shot by the (Janie Mobile.
The Union of to-day denies the truth of the statement.
At twelve o'clock yesterday the insurgents were
in possession of the houses newly constructed on
the Boulevard Beaumarchais, and fired from them
at the National Guard, and killed and wounded
many. Shortly after, an engagement took place at the
entrance to the Faubourg du Temple, beyond the
canal bridge, where there was a very strong barricade.
Two lieutenants of the 12th Legion of the National
Guard were, it is said, made prisoners on the
barricades. Three women, dres-ed as cantinij,res,
were arrested yesterday, in the neighbourhood of the
Assembly, for having sold poisoned brandy and wine
to the troops. Several of the soldiers have died
from the effects of the liquors thus given to them.
Some disturbances broke out at Marseilles on the
23rd inst. Barricades were erected, some lighting
took place, and in consequence some troops have
been sent there. The ouvriers of the ateliers na-
tionaux and other workmen were engaged in these
disorders. The troops ultimately prevailed.
,
QUARTER-PAST Five, P.M.—Since sending the rest
despatch, I am informed that, after having surren-
dered this morning, the insurgents retracted, and were
bombarded and attacked with shells and other ways
for several hours. They have, however, finally been
subdued. This you may considetsas certain; but our
communications are so intercepted, that 1 find it im-
possible to obtain other details with any degree of
certainty.
Six o'CLoex.—l have just heard that six of the
prisoners who were confined in the vaults of the Tui-
leriev, having put their heads out of the gratings, were
I immediately brought out and shot.
Paris is again tranquil. The insurgents have sur-
rendered at discretion. Five hundred insurgents who
were captured at the Clog St. Lazare were shot las.
night, and four hundred more this morning.
The struggle has been incredible, and the military
executions almost unparalleled.

state the feete which belong both to its preparation and to
its enmities.
Art. 2. The ume cornrctsion Is aloe authorised to extend
its investigations to everything relating to the attempt of the
16th May.
Art. 3. All powers are accorded to it to summon or com-
mand the presence of every individual who can give them
information, so well as to search for documents which may
discover political opinions.
Art. 4. There shall be made to the Assembly a report of
the result. of this information.

The Chamber declared the urgency of this decree, and
vote( its adoption immediately without discussion.
A Mennen demanded that M. le President should fix an
hour for the bureaux, when they might reasslmble to name
this commission. It ought to be appointed on this very day.
M. Le PRESIDENT The Assembly is too thinly 'attended
at present. It can occupy itself with the ether legis-
lative measures of which I have spoken ; meanwhile
MM. the representatives will have strived, and the Assem-
bly can unite itself in the bureaux. ("Yes, yes.") Here is the
decree which I proposed yesterday, amended according to
the representations that have been made to me.
Art. I. Every individual taken with arms in his hand
shall he immediately transported to one of our possessions
beyond seas or to Algeria. Art. 2. The executive power is
chaiged to take all necessary measures fur the immediate
application of this decree.
Some observations have been made to me. I have been
made to perceive that if every person detected with some
in his hands should be transported, he could not be subjected
to a severer punishment if he had committed assassination.
At this moment, M. Gender Pages, pale and much excited,
entered the ball, ascended the tribune, and addressed, in a low
voice, some words to the President. He was accompanied by
M. °aloud., deputy, who gesticulated with warmth. A
lively movement of anxiety manifested itself thmughout the
Assembly. After some moments had elapsed, M. le Presi-
dent ans. enntien.,l • The observations which have been
made to ine, have given me mamma ea think that the de.
eves should be modified. I think that in the first inetance
the Astembly should retire to thiir bureaux, for the purpose I
of discussion. Cries from all parts. (" Yes, yes.")
A Voice: We ought not to adjourn th 4 sitting.
Mr. LE PRESIDENT: The Assembly ism permanence; it
can resume the sitting when it likes, for the sitting will only
be suspended. I am of opinion, I repeat it, that it will be
proper to adjourn to the bureaux • first, to appoint
the commission ot inquiry, and secondly, to examine the
project of the decree which I have submitted. We are only
suspending, not dissolving the sitting.
M. Pouraus ; I demand to be heard, for the purpose of
making two observations. The first is, that we have here
before us a decree of pressing urgency, and we have not as
yet ei.cusud it in the bureaux. Seeeudly, that, in the name
of humanity, I demand speed, for I have heard, but I hope
that it is false—(Cries from all parts " Enough, enough ;
there is so occasion to name it; ")
M. PORTAL'S descended from the tribune.
The sitting was adjourned to half-past nine.
At hall-past eleven M. SENAIID ascended quickly on a
chair, and said—Citizens, the Faubourg Saint Antoine has
just surrendered at discretion. (Some applause.) M.
Sensed, raising his bands to heaven, " God be thanked !"
Officers anticipated the deputies as they arrived, in commu-
nicating to them this happy news.
The representatives entered and retook their places.
The PILESIDENT.—Citizens representatives, at al points
the surrender is complete—a surrender without conditions.
An aide-de camp of the Minister ot ',War has just arrived
on horseback in great haste, and brings the following news:
Al: the individuals who were yesterday put in communiur
ties with us wire reunited. Great agitation reigned every-
where, as Gen. Lamoriciere wee shout to commence a
vigorous attack upon the left side of the Faubourg, while
Gen. Perrot attacked the front. Some minutes after, and at
the moment when Gen. Lamoriciere was closely engaged in
the streets,a messenger presented hiraself,announcing that the
faubourg surrendered unconditionally, and in the terms of
submission dictated by your President in his reply. At the
moment when the aid-de-camp quitted the faubourg, three
battalions entered it. At all points the surrender was com-
plete. (Murmurs of denial.) The surrender was complete.
If there had been resistance at any point, said the aid-de-
camp to me, you would have heard the cannonade or the
fusillade. The details are yet wanting—hut the fact is cer-
tain ; and we can say, we have missed this afflicting crisis,
and we may thank God, who kali saved France. (Vine is
republique.)
A Votce—ls faere any news of the archbishop ?
The Pasco; DENT—We had intelligence, before learning of
the surrender of the faubourg ; it was said that he had been
wounded in the leg. (Sewation.)
Abbe Penis's. Bishop of Langres—l learn from the Abbe
Colin, cure of St. Louie-en-1' Isle, that the Archbishop of Paris,
after having conferred with Gen. Cavaignac, presented him-
self before the insurgents as a mediator. At the moment when
be c ntrnenced speaking to them, a roll of the drum gave the
signal for two discharges, one from the insurgents, the other
from the National Guard. A ball struck the archbi-hop, not
in the leg, but in the loins. (Great sensation.) The result
is a very serious wound ; fears are entertained for the opera-
tion, and he has demanded the sacrament. (Sensation.)
The men of the faubourg protest that the blow did not come
from their ranks. (Prolonged murmurs.) They have pro-
duc.d a certificate to that effect. (Fresh exclamations.)
It appears that the blow came from the side.
A Voice.—You ought not to accuse the National Guard.
The Attars PARISIS.—That would be the result of a ,
casualty, an involuntary accident.
A Voice.—ls it known what has become of our colleague
Larabit ?
M. BESLAT (of Morhiban).—Towards half past seven I
was at the Place de la Bastille. I thought to be of service
to our colleague, for I know many of the inhabitants of the
faubourg. I was enabled to learn from them what they
wanted, for when they knew that representatives were among
them, they surrounded us. They knew not the proclama-
tion
of General Cavaignac ; and they told us that if they had
known it yesterday evening, they would have laid
down their arms. They had threatened to keep us among
them, and to expose us upon their barricades to the tire of
our battalions. Yes, said I, provided that you give me a
pistol, with which I shall blow out my brains when the Na-
tional Guard arrives. (Sensation.) They replied to me,
" You are brave," and they let me go. I followed the line
of the Boulevards.
A Voice.—You see, then, that all is not finished.
The PRESIDENT.—The barricades have been carried.
The; tree eder incomplete, as is announced by the new dis-
patch which I have just opened. You have this great fact
before you, the Faubourg St. Antoine has surrendered.
Tile sitting was then suspended, but in a few minutes
a rumour wan spread that, in consequence of the surrender
of the Faubourg St. Antoine, three battalions of the
line had entered behind the barricades, and were received
1y a discharge which had completely destroyed them. This
news caused a painful impression in the Assembly. How-
ever, a few moments alter, M. Senard entered the chamber,
and seemed to give the members there some more consoling
news. He was invited from all parts of the hail to ascend
the tribune, in order that everybody might hear him. But
he refused, saying that be had not as ye t received any written
despatch, and that they must wait. (A grist agitation now
became visible.) At half-past one the tithes was resumed.
The PRESIDENT said—Citieen representatives, one word
resumes everything. All is over. (From all sides " Bravo,
bravo!") Now I will give you some details. From the
moment when I told you of the last n' ws I had received, ru-
mours of all kinds have been spread through Paris; but the
following is the truth. At this moment M. Anthony
Thouret went up to the bureaux of the President, and said
something in a low voice. Cries of " Order" were imme-
diately heard ; but M. Thouret persisted in continuing
to address the President in a low tone. Fresh
murmurs arms. When the President again addressed
the chamber saying: You well understand the reason why
our honourable colleague persists when I inform you that he
wished to announce to me the liberation of our colleague
K. Larabit. (Marks of satiseetion.) To return to my sub-
ject : The surrender of the Faubourg St. Antoine din take
place ; hut it is certain that at the moment a surrender takes
place it only does so partially, for some are against,
and others do not consent ; but after the first surrender ot
the faubourg, a second took place, and it is now complete.
One fact Is certain one of Gem Cavaignac's aides-decamp
bevies sent out a nearcehal des loges to examine, he followed
the Nue du Faubourg St. Martin to the Barriere du Trone ;
he then returned to the Bastille, and in all the streets he
paused, numerous patrols circulated without resistance.
When he commenced his iouniey he heard two con-
non shots at the left of the *Faubourg, where General La-
moriciere operated. Ile afterwards heard nothing more.
Thus all was over in the Faubourg and to the right of it. To
the lelt only the straggle continued, but the contest could
not be much longer prolonged. There were the details
transmitted to him. (Marks of satisfaction.)
M. A. Tocuer could add that the resistance was very
slight, and that the insurgents were everywhere dispersed.
M. D'ADELSWARD bad just quitted General Lamo-
riciere, and returned with all speed by the Boulevards
and the Place de la Concorde. When he left, the general
had authorised him to say that the Faubourg St. Antoine
bad not capitulated—(Sensation)—that the rumour
that :hree batalliona had been massacred was groundless ; and
that he had only to complain of the understanding subsisting
between some representatives and the insurgents. The
result of this was that the military combinations had been
compromised, and the insurgents, instead of defending
themselves on the side of the Bastille, had moved to the
canal St. Martin, so. that when General Lamoriciere wished
to take the barricade in Hue St. S thastie n , he was received with
a rapid tire, attended with a considerable loss, in-luding a
chef de battalion of the National Guard, air officers, and
a hundred and twenty men. (Prolonged sensation.)
Several voices, " PAM over the details ;" others, " No, no,
speak on."
M. D'Annswkan—While he is operating upon the
canal St. Martin, M. Le General Perrot ought to operate
upon the side of the Bastille t he had already got to the
street St. Nicholas. The General Lamoriciere has autho-
rized me to mention the names of three National Guards
Mobiles who have particularly distinguished themselves.
(Great interruption.)
Many VOICES—To useless.
IL i.e PRIMMEST—If it were necessary to cite the names
of those who have distinguished themselves, it would be
necessary to cite the whole army. All the Guard, National,
Mobile, and Sedentaire. (" True, true.")
D'ADELSWARD.—There is a mission with which I hare
been charged. (Fresh interruption.)
Many Totem.—Enough, melees.
