The Express.
London, England, 1848-06-26 00:00:00

The vaults of Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Tuileries,
and the Assembly, are filled with them. To-day will
be the crisis; the result can hardly be doubted
—it will either be submission or extermination.
All circulation through the streets is interdicted,
except to such as are armed as National Guards,
or those who bear passes, or servants going for
the necessary articles of provisions. All the shops
are closed, except those where articles of food are
sold, and of these the doors only are opened. The
pertelecocheres are also'genei ally,closed ;-vehicles from
the Pompom Funebres are seen passing everywhere,
to carry away the dead. Never was such a spectacle
witnessed as Paris presents this morning, except in
the case of towns menaced with storming. I
have just made a promenade, and find the
streets nearly deserted, except by the military. '
Soldiers who had been up during the night, worn out
with fatigue, are extended sleeping on the footways.
On the Piece de la Concorde, which is covered with
cavalry and artillery, the men aro generally dis-
mounted, and lying on the asphalte, taking their
breakfasts. Waggons are seen bringing provender
fur the horses, which are tied round the
fountains and round the obelisks, and to the
lamp-posts. The Champs ElysiTs are converted into
a vast camp ; artillery are planted on the quays, and
guns are pointed from the vestibule of the Chamber.i
Members of the Assembly,. distinguished by their tri-
coloured scarfs, are seen in groups of ten or twelve,
patrolling the streets. I learn from some of these,
that whenever they peas between the Chamber and.
the Hotel de Ville, they rever fail to be fired upon by
insurgents from the windows in the latter quarter.
Although, as I have stated, the number of regular
troops in Paris, even with the accession of the ar-
rivals to-day, will not exceed 30,000; the number of
National Guards is incalculable; they have never
' ceased arriving since dawn this morning from the
departments, and the shouts which welcome most of
them are audible while I write these lines.

The Place de la Madeleine and the Rue Royale are
now coveted with troops.
The journals of Paris have not been able to appear
to-day, except in single leaves, and even these in
limited numbers.
The line of telegraphs has been everywhere
broken ; this has seriously retarded the arrival of
troops from the departments. Government has been
obliged to organise a service of estafettes to carry its
orders to a distance.

The church of St. Sulpice is said to be in the
power of the insurgents, who have a piece of cannon
there.
Up to last night there arrived in Paris the National
Guardsof Versailles, Chatou, Beauvais, Montmorency,
Bougival, Roadie, l'untoiae, Amiens, Meudon,
Saint-Cloud, Marne, Rambouillet, Sera* Meulan,
Nanterre, Orleans, Rouen, &c.
I am forced to send these despatches, as I have
been for the last two days, by a special courier. Th 4
Northern Railway Station is shut up, and the rails
between Paris and Enghien torn up. At Enghien,
however, the railway service is continued to
Boulogne, so that I trust tho despatches I mat last
night will have arrived at tho usual time.
An irruption from the operatives of Lyons and
other manufacturing towns is feared.
