The commission of inquiry into the corepiracy and
its connexion with that of the 15th May, sits in per-
manence, adjourning only for short intervals during
the day. It has addressed a circular to the law
officers of the republic throughout France, requiring
them to send with the utmost expedition the tele-
graphic despatches that they received, the documents
which they have in their hands, and, in a word, all
the political information which has any relation to
these two events, and also the result of such inquiries
as they may be enabled to make.
The barricades within which the assembly had been
entrenched were removed yesterday.
National guards from. the departments, as distant
as 80 leagues from Paris, arrived yesterday, and con-
tinue arriving this morning. Several others who had
previously arrived returned yesterday.
One of the circumstances presented in the now
state of Paris, which strikes a foreign eye most
forcibly, is the spectacle of the arrival of the National
Guards of the provinces in the capital ; there is no
mistaking them ; they are as manifest as would be
the town councils of feornersetshire villages parading
Cornhill, ifter the procession of the Lord Mayor's
show'—yet their appellees.* does oat excite laugher,.
Here are a body. of men who Dome up some 50 or
60 leagues at their own expense; they bring. with
them their own sustenance, they bivonack in the
streets or gardens; they come to defend their country
against anarchy, and they return to their homes
equally at their own expense, without the hope, pros-
pect, or probability of any other reward or any other
glory than the consciousness of having worthily dis-
charged a public duty.
I observed to-day a circumstance connected with
these bands of brave peasants truly characteristic. I
saw females among them, wives who could not recon-
elle themselves to remain behind their husbands in
the hour of danger. These females marched with a
bold and free step, and were each of them armed
with a drawn sword, which they had learned to carry
with no inconsiderable grace.
In my despatch of List evening I alluded briefly to
the atrocities of barbarity perpetrated by the in-
surgents against their prisoners, the majority of whom
Were soldkni of the garde mobile, consisting for the
most part of youths under twenty. When I say that
they committed such acts as tearing out their tongues,
wringing off their noses, chipping off their toes and
hands, I mention only the least ferocious and disgust-
ing acts of which they were guilty. It would be im-
possible to address to civilised ears statements of the
other dreadful cruelties they perpetrated. It may
well be said, as some of the Parisian journals have
observed, that posterity will refuse to believe that
individuals could be found in a nation placing itself at
the head of civilisation, capable of such atrocities.
An order has been issued that the inhabitants shall
continue during the night to keep their windows illu-
minated. Dark suspicions of a plot still unsuppressed
prevail. What is feared now is the cutting of the
gas pipes, and attempts to set fire to the capital,or to
undermine portions and blow them up. Several indi-
viduals were taken yesterday having large quantities
of gunpowder concealed about their persons. A female,
respectably attired, was taken in the Rue St. Honore,
and a great quantity of gunpowder found stuffed in the
bosom and under the waist of her dress. On taking
off her bonnet and loosening her hair pickets of
powder were found rolled in its braids. Numerous
instances, more or less similar to this have been
detected.
M. Charbonnel died last evening at 0 o'clock.
The Bth and 12th legions of the national guard
have been disarmed, as also a battalion of Belleville.
All national guards who failed to take up arms within
the last few days were disarmed yesterday.
General Damesme, commander of the Gaie Mobile
whose death was reported, has suffered amputation of
the leg and is in a satisfactory state.
The following are eircumetances attending the
death of General Brea :—The general had ad-
vanced with his aide-de-camp close to the bar-
rier to endeavour to conciliate the insur-
gents. He was on horseback. " Come nearer (cried
the men of the barricades), come down from your
horse, we cannot hear you." The general without
hesitation dismounted and advanced. The insurgents
then immediately seized him and his aide-de-
camp, dragged them within the barricade, and
declared to General Brea that they would
shoot him and the officer who accompanied
him if he did not immediately give orders
to his troops to deliver up their arms and ammuni-
tion. On the decided refusal of the General, they
gave him an hour to reflect. At the expiration of
that time they returned, and their new demand not
being complied with, they shot the general and his
aide-de-camp, whose dead bodies they threw over the
barricades.
The municipal guards have been organised, and
employed in guarding the assembly. They wear the
I uniform of national guards.
The number of insurgent's who have been arrested
amounts to 6,000. Yesterday a great number were
taken to the Abbaye, or the barrack of the Hue de
Toarnou. At the Abbaye was the tambour-major of
the 12th legion, called "le Professeur de Barricades,"
a lieutenant, and a " sous-officier" of the same legion.
On one of the flags seized on a barricade in the
RUB St. Antoine was inscribed, " Vainqueurs, le pit-
Jaye raingueurs,l'incendie."
The prisoners placed in the vaults of the Tuileries
have been sent to the various prisons and detached
forts. The men were positively jammed together in
this tunnel, and must have greatly suffered from want
of air.
N. Consign, one of the editors of the Commune,
and an associate of Sobrier, was arrested on Monday.
After the reduction of the faubourgs St. Antoine
and the Temple 500 or GOO insurgents took refuge on
the heights of Meuilmontant and Pere la Cane*.
Pursued by the cavalry they fled into the vineyards,
from whence the sharpshooters of Gen. Lamoriciere
dislodged them, having killed a great number.
Various ministerial programmes were circulated in
the Salle des Conferences yesterday. The following
is a resume of several of these lists :
President of the Council, General Cavaignac ; War (three
candidates), Generals Durivier, Changarnier, and Lamori-
; Foreign Affairs, MM. Lamortine, Bedeau, Thiers,
Bac (Theodore), Billauli, &e.; Interior (live candidates),
MM. Odilon Barrot, Antony Thouret, Chauve Trouvel,
Lein de hlaleville, and Dutaure; Finances (three candi-
dates), MM. Thiers, Leon Faucher, and Uoudchaux ; Agri-
culture and Commerce, MM. Dukure;Tourret (de l'Allier),
and. Dupont (Auguste); Public Works, MM. de Fallouz,
DuCoux, Bineau, and Billaudct ; Public Instruction, Ger.
main Sarrut, Jean Reynaud, and Quicet ; Colinies and
Marine, MM. Lacrosse, easy, and hlontrol ; Justice, MM.
Juin' l'avre, Baroche, Marti. Strcsbourg), Ilac (Theo-
dore), and Marie.
In the Clos St. Lazare an officer of infantry, who
was made prisoner by the insurgents, had his two
hands cut off, and died slowly of his wounds.
Yesterday, when the National Guards of Lille and
Tours arrived on the Place de C.Assemblee Nationale,
a woman, young and very elegantly dressed, drew
near a captain of dragoons posted at the head of hie
company, exactly opposite the palace, and fired off a
pistol close upon him. The bullet merely grazed his
regimentals. The woman was immediately appre-1
handed.
Since the above was written, I learn that the num-1
ber of prisoners now amounts to 6,500. They are re-
presented in general as being under an impression
that the will all be shot. At first they exhibited the
most impudent effrontery ; afterwards, however, they
assumed a more humble tone, and endeavoured tofind
excuses and extenuating circumstances.
Their rallying sign was a small osier wand that
each of them kept concealed in his sleeve, those borne
by the chiefs were forked at the end. Evidence has
been obtained that besides their general plan of ope-
ration, the insurgents had a revolutionary government
ready organised.
A woman, apprehended on Monday, owned frankly
that she cut off the heads of heads met
the mobile
raards. On several barricades, heads cut off, west-
ing their kepis, had been plaoed as scarecrows.
Finally, a heed, in the mouth of which pitch had been
matted and a match placed, wasp ut upon a pique.

The Madrid correspondence of the 23rd June has
arrived. laturitz arrived on the 22nd.

ITALY.—A Marseilles Journal of the 25th says,
that letters received there from Cannes, announced
the surrender of Verona to the army of Charles Al-
bert. The details were not known. At the moment
when the writer concluded his letter, artillery was
heard from Nice celebrating the victory.
The Patria of the 21st says that advice' from Na-
ples of the 17th announced that the situation of the
King was so serious, the insurgent provinces having
had some s'iccesses and refusing to lay down their
arms, that he had spoken of abdicating in favour of
his son, but (add the advises) it will be too late.
Reinforcements to the Italian army, with alms and
ammunition, are about tube sent from Rome. Ancona
has offered 12,000 men ready armed.

This wu

and the power
majority.
The session wee then suspended till 8 o'clock.
In the interval of the sittings, the composition of
the new ministry is the subject which occupies every
one in the Salle des Pea Perdue. It will probably be

named this evening.
M. Dufaure having refused to take office in the
ministry' will probably be chosen president of the
Assembly in lieu of M. Senard. M. Marrast will
continue mayor of Paris.
M. Vatrin, lieut.-col. of the 6th Legion, is said to
have been arrested to-day, by order of Gen. Lame-
riciere, after having been admitted to the conference
on the plan of the attack, he was taken in the ranks
of the insurgents.
At the last sitting of the Assembly, the President
gave a satisfactory account of the representatives who
were wounded, MM. Domes and Nato.
M. Remilly proposed decrees of suppression of all
secret societies and clubs, and against the construction
of barricades.
Projects were also introduced for tue non-a.. moment I
of National Guards not on service, and for the forma-
tion of a camp in the Champ de Mars.
M. Gallon Barret is named president of the CAM-
mittee of inquurq into the conspiracy of the 23rd
June and 15th May.
The Bourse was closed to-day.
The military committee at the Palace of the
Tuileries, has already examined upwards of 300
prisoners ; almost all of them were in possession of '
pieces of, gold ; some of themhad even five Joule. " We I
saw," says the Siecie," a box full of money, which
had been taken from the insurgents. Several of the
prisoners, when asked by thejudges, why they did
not surrender before, replied, " We had to earn the
money which had been given to us." None of them
have as yet betrayed the names of the infamous in-
stigators of this terrible plot.
The fact, which was contradicted, relative to the
Comte de Narbonne, was perfectly core ct : we heard
it certified this very morning by eye witnesses.
Having been taken into custody, in company with his
valet, behind a barricade, and being bearer of a sum of
4,000 francs in gold, he was imeiatly shot
as well as his valet.de-chambre, bym orddere of Com-
mandant Autry, the governor of the Luxembourg.
About twenty of the insurgents, who were taken in
arms upon the barricade, were immediately shot in
the Luxembourg. The corpses of ten of them are
still in the garden.
We have ourselves collected says, the Vcle, the
following numbers of the wounded in the hospitals:
At La Charlie, 1`20; at the Val de Grace, 190; Hotel
Dieu, 400, Many more reached this hospi.al, but
they expired shortly after their admittance. Hospital
of M. Dubois, 94; Clinique, 78; St. Lazare, 63;
St. Louis, 500; Gen. Damesne, who is at the Veil de
Grace, has had his thigh cut off near the groin; the
operation, though very grave, gives some hopes.
However, the general was iu a high fever all night.
Gen. Lafontaine is in the Rue de Richelieu, No. 69;
We have seen his physician, who arswers for his life.
We have crossed the whole Faubourg du Temple—
the row of houses which extend from the guarder
Temple—
due Temple to the Faubourg St. Antoine ; we
then went over the faubourg, from the Barrie?rel
du Trone to the Bastille; and finally, all the,
quarter of the Hotel de Ville. On all sides
the barricades are destroyed, and the circulation
free. The shops are open in the Faubourg St. An-
toine, and the crowd of visitors is immense. The
houses which are on the canal opposite the entreps',
the Nos. 156, 158, 160, are nearly destroyed ; another
house is a heap of lain& The Pont du Temple,
on the canal, is literally, what we may call,
scolloped with the holes of the cannon—
balls ; one can form no idea of the number of barriers
which were erected from the Faubourg du Temple to
the Faubourg St. Antoine, and it is impossible to
comprehend how such a number, which pews all
calculation, can have been erected in so short a time.
