LATEST PARTICULARS

FROM PARIS.

TOTAL OVERTHROW OF
'HIE INSURGENTS.

Since the arrival of news which will be found in
another page, we have received further communica-
tions from our Paris correspondent, coming up to a
late hour yesterday evening, when all was again
tranquil. hostilities were resumed at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon, and, after a short contest, the insurgents
in the Faubourg St. Antoine surrendered uncon-
ditionally. This was the last stronghold of the
revolt, the Clos de St. Lazare having been already
stormed. In this latter place the insurgents had
entrenched themselves in a s'rongly-fortified posi-
tion, on a wide elevated plain, in the vicinity
of the station of the Northern Railway. This
plain, which is scattered over with out-houses,
building materials, and timber, was converted into a
regular fortress, in a manner which rendered it im-
pregnable without a regular siege. Many thousands
of the insurgents were quartered inside. Various
attempts had been made to carry it by storm, but in
vain, and on Sunday General Cavaignac deter-
mined to take it, and ordered it to be mined, ad-
vancing guns and shells against it. At a late hour in
the evening, a letter from M. 'Marmot to the Presi-
dent of the National Assembly announced that it
bad been taken by the troops.
The Archbishop of Paris, who was unfortunately
shot at one of the barricades, whilst endeavouring to
induce the insurgents to surrender, is reported to
have died of his wounds.
The following, from our correspondent, gives full
details:
PARIS, MONDAY, 3 P.M.
I have just now made a promenade, as far as the
sentinels would permit. Even a pass is now refused.
The hospitals in ail parts of the town arc com-
pletely filled with the wounded. Straw is placed on
the aisles of the churches, which are also filled with
wounded. I have just been in some of them, where
the odour proceeding from the unhappy sufferers is
terrible. All the inhabitants are sending old
linen, and the females of every rank spend the
day in preparing lint.
The wounded continue to pass on litters and in
vans every five minutes.
Wounded horses are also led back from the fight.
I learn that the bombardment of the Faubourg is
now going on.
Red hot balls are thrown among the insurgents, and
into the houses in which they are shut up.
I have been assured that the number of the regular
troops, exclusive of the Garde Mobile, was overrated
when estimated at ::0,000: It is stated that the entire
amount, including 12,000 Garde Mobile, does not
exceed that number
The Garde Mobile have acted admirably, They
have attacked and carried barricades before which
the regular troops had faltered.
HALF-PAST FOUR, P.M.—All communications being
intercepted, I am without certain information. I
am, however, assured from various quarters that the
insurgents have made their submission—some say
after fighting and sustaining a bombardment, and
some say without it. My reporter, who is in the
Chamber has not yet been able to communicate with
me.
Five oChorn r.m.—Since writing the above I
have received a report from my agent at the Chamber.
At half-past eleven the President announced that the
Foubourg had surrendered at discretion. This is all
that I have yet received. If I receive more I will send
it by a special courier.
The following resume will render the scattered
memoranda which I have already sent of the opera-
tions of the last two days more clearly intelligible :
On Saturday the insurrection was increasing; every
new barricade became a " point d'appui n for others,
and the insurgents, spreading their ground about the
quarters of which they had possession, would
have finished by encompassing the whole city,
and surrounding the defenders of the Assem-
bly- At this moment it became indispensable
to stem the insurrection and to concentrate it on cer-
