PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

(From the Times.)
IS, Jute mind
and letter cannot to partake of the disorder of my mind
and my feelings—of the profound indignation I experience, and
the sorrow which afflicts me. The magnificent city of Paris has
been made a field of battle and carnage. For these two days
past blood has flowed in all quarters. Its streets Are barricaded

ramparts arc overturned, and the people, In despair, convert
every thing that comes to hand into weapons. When I say the
people, I mean to say all classes of the population, for there is
not one who does not participate in the universal sentiment of
horror inspired by the traitors who have cast the Crown and
State into such ass abyss. But, in the midst of these frightfel
scenes, the admirable courageof the Parisians, and of all French.
into confounded with them, beams forth with splendour. Since
the two days in which musketry and artillery re-echoed in our
streets, the guards of is King who can receive from history but
a fearful surname, and whom we had so much inclination to
love, have every where experienced, and will still experience,
the most determined resistance. Scarcely was one group dis-
persed by musket balls, grape shot, or cannon, than another in.
stantly formed, and in spite of the inequality of arms, and the
superiority of discipline, the losses, up to the present time, are
equal on both sides.
It is to maintain the laws, the Constitution given by Louis
XVIII., guaranteed by the oath of him who has caused to suc-
ceed the reign of that aged Prince now so much regretted, a
reign of treachery and blood that an entire people is lighting,
and is thus prodigal of lite. Never was a more innocent nation
sacrificed to tyrants snore vile.
Implicit submission enormous tributes respectful warnings', elections free, tranquil, unanimous,—nothing could enlighten
or disarm the implacable junta of priests who direct the hands
or Charles X., and who found obedient instruments and devoted
and willing accomplices in seven Ministers, who will be for ever
execrated by their country, and by all just men throughout the
globe.
I require some eflbrt to sustain myself, and to detail the facts
which probably have not yet reached you by a private channel.
You must be aware of the ordinances which annihilated the
charter, and sanctioned the blackest crime of which power and
tyranny could he capable. The two Chambers were convoked ;
secret letters had been despatched to the Peers and Deputies;
hope revived ; the Ministers declared to their friends that coups
(Pettit were abandoned, and that every thing would be conducted
according to legal order. With this assurance, uttered pertina-
ciously to their usual confidents,—to Mr. Rothschild himself,
whom they duped,—the public funds kept up, and even edvanced
a little; and, horrible to say, these strange statesmen converted
their odious political calculations to the benefit of their private
speculations.
The ordinarsces were published on the 7th of July. The plan
to be executed was concerted and irrevocably determined on.
The Deputies had been summoned to Paris, only as 'Catherine
de Medicis summoned the Protestants, that they might be within
power and be matievictims, if they could not be made accom-
plices. Another object wAs aimed at. In trampling the laws
under loot,(and in even daring to print the avowal that the Go-
vernment w is forced to pass the limits of the law, some .ecret
alarm was felt; and there was a wish to give some kind of form
to the consummation of the iniquity.
It was insagined that by the sending the secret letters the
Elective Chamber was formed, and then the King could disso ve
it, in virtue of his_ prerogative. But no one has fallen into this
mistake. I' The King has violated the elections, which the
charter denies him the right of doing!" Such was the general
cry.
On Monday, at noon, this terrible news was published in the
Moniker. A movement of indignation instantly manifested it-
self; end, on the ensuing day, the explosion was the result of a
rage which had been fermenting in every breast, and which
could not be suppressed. The troops collected ; the troops were
charged. A general rush was made towards the hotel which was
inhabited by the fatal Prince Polignac ; he escaped by flight the
fate which awaited him. On Tuesday night, under the ',nom.
tion of lii pieces of artillery and *battalion, he braved the public,
and gave a sumptuous Amur to his perverse colleagues. He
now inhabits the head-quarters of Marshal the Dtike of Ragusa,
who is at present invested with cal Me authority necessary to re-
store order In Paris.
The whole of the day before yesterday numerous Clinnleti took
place. One of the regiments, the eth of the Line, refused to
fire, and infused some anxiety into the authors of the massacre.
But the Lancers of the Guard showed themselves true Preto.
Hans. Their ferocity has marked them for popular vengeance.
The countenances of the Royal Guard and of the other troops
' bore testimony to their deep sorrow; and, even in action, these
soldiers displayed their humanity, and spared some victims, the
number of whom, however, is already considerable. The
gums d'armes have been pursued without intermission. At this
moment their barracks are in flames. The Duke de Firraacon
has been killed.
The night before last and yesterday all the Corps de Garde
were disarmed. During this time the editors of the following
Journals—Le Temps, the National, the Globe, and ithe Journal
du Commerce, signalised their courage and devotion. Some
Commissaries of Police attended by a numerous armed force,
went to their houses 'to seize their papers and destroy their
presses. These agents of authority were, in the presence of these
generous citizens, like criminals before their Judge. Criminal,
indeed, they were, since it was in open violation of the laws that
they acted. Under the eyes of oohs under the bayonets of gees
d'armes, until the last prow was broken, did these worthy citi,
tens ctunpose, print, and throw out of the windows to the popu-
lace, their heroic sheets.
Yesterday morning, groups armed with sticks, bayonets,
pikes, and musket., removed or efraced all the signs and CM Nemo of royalty. A red flag was hoisted on the gate,of St,
Dente. Tri-coloured flags were promenaded in the streets.
Ail the lamps have been pulled down, and the moving of ye-
hides about the streets is intertlictet.l or impracticable If this
terrible stet° of things lasts, Paris will be without Inhabitants

and who would not shudder at the apprehension of this disorder
During yesterday, furious conflicts took place in the rue St
Denis, rue St. Martin, St. Honore, on the Quays, on the 800.
levant:, and at the Hotel de Ville.
No robberies are spoken of, or known. Seventy-five DePuties,
or thereabouts, have united themselves to the Peers. They h
published a declaration, that they will not belie their character that they were always true arid legitimate representatives of
France. They have made a protest, with which you should be
acquainted. It is affirmed, that on. the 3d of August they will
present themselves at the gate of their place of meeting, from
which they will doubtless be repelled by force. Then may coin-

Last night Amines. promenaded fnett
V much as usual in ,the
'wet - celled .11oulevardt, and harps, guitar*, violins, Etc once
MOTO exhibited a scene always uniene tit its kind. The onlyno.
!titles were the, Absence qf lamps (supplied, boweyer,.by gay it.
uttninationi), and .tbe
,half.peaceabie and ealewarae sight of
runs of females sitting op the trees which had. been felled for
the portico° of forming stlebaies. • Mentioxing the Boulevards, I.
cannot refrain from speaking of an odd enough sight On the first
evening of the rows. A wretched little Savoyard, in the midst
of war and bustle on right and left, coutinued to wind his little
organ at his usual post. I saw him actually playing, if not to
Int;,ty benches,,tu empty chairs.. This
.fellow
must be called
among the bravest, according to Frederick the Great, who said,
efer 4 certain battle, that a little fifer, who
.blew during the
,whole time of the combat, was beyond doubt the bravest of all
in the field. I could fill pages with odd occurrences, but for the
'll Mut must conclude.
P. S. The Municipal Governtnent waited, at one to.day', on the

a.sorganising movement. . .
