LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TeESDAY, 6 p.m,
The insurrection is definitively quelled. The few
insurgents that have not thrown down their arms
have been literally hunted like wild beasts from their
lairs. The last band took refuge in the cemetery 01'1
Pere la Chaise, imagining probably, that that recep-
tacle for the dead would be considered a sanctuary.
They were soon however taught their mistake, and
hunted from that refuge by the cuirassiers and the
Guard Mobile. These few remnants of the insur-
gents are now scattered, no one knows where.
I have just made an extensive tour of the capital,
the impediments to circulation being relaxed. Sen-
tinels are posted at the extremities of all the streets,
and, where suspicion is excited, stop and search the
passengers. Unoccupied shops are generally con-
verted either into guard-houses or " ambulances"
for the wounded. I visited the Me St. Lazare, now
rendered so memorable for the conflict there.
This is an extensive area, attached to the
new hospital in process of construction, formerly
called the Hospital Louis-Philippe, aid now called
the Hospital of the Republic. It is covered with
blocks of cut stone and other building materials;
these were used by the insurgents to raise redoubts
and defences : the walls are pierced with holes three
or four fret asunder, to serve for loop-holes. There
are but few dwelling-houses near this; and, there-
fore, the effects of the conflict are nut yr ry ap-
parent. It is situated close to the station of the
Northern Railway. Passing through the Faabourgs
St. Martin and St. Denis I found them filled with a
busy crowd of the lower orders marry of whom were
inquiring after and tending their wounded friends in
the " ambulances." The barricades have been all,
without exception, levelled, anti the pavement where-
ever it was torn up has been relaid, in this work the
inhabi'ants of the respective localities assisted.
The line of the Bo uleva rds fro m the Boulevard Bon ne-
Nouvelle to the Bastille presents a strange spectacle;
the broad footway on either aide is spread with straw,
on which the soldiers are extended : some lie sleeping,
others sit taking refreshment, others are seen reading
the journals, or conversing on the events of the day.
Officers mingle among the men, on apparently equal
terms.
Oni either side of the carriage road are ranged the
horses of the cavalry, which are supplied with pro-
sender, giving the entire line of the Boulvard the
appearance of a vast stable.
'the extensive space unoccupied above the Chateau
d'Eau, and near what was Franconi's theatre has been
selected as the station for the artillery. An immense
number of guns of every description, including
howitzers and mortars, ammunition waggons, &c. are

collected there.
At intervals along the carriage road vans are seen
which are commonly used for the removal of furniture,
these are filled with bread for the use of the military.
Waggons loaded with wine casks and water casks are
also seen from place to place, the wine being drawn
from the make on the spot for the refreshment of the
soldiers.
From place to place piles of small bags
containing oats for the horses are perceived, and
carts laden with hay are continually passing. What
remains not thus occupied in the centre of the car-
riage road is crowded with mrioas spectators , pro-
