M. Leon de M alleville next rose and a,:,ked that M.
Adelsward be permitted to continue his statement, and
inquired if hostilities had ceased when he left the head-
quarters of General Lamoriciere.
The President observed that it was impossible to
question the authenticity of the accounts he had ob-
tained from the aide-de-camp of General Cavaignac.
He then opened a letter he had just received from the
Prefecture of Police, dated half-past one o'clock, and
fully confirming those accounts. It was thus worded:—
" The suburb is in the possession of the troops. The
insurgents themselves assist in removing the barricades."
The sitting was afterwards suspended.
At two o'clock M. Corbon, one of the Vice-Presi-
dents, took the Chair, and read the following letter to
the Assembly:—
" Citizen President,—Thanks to the attitude of the
National Assembly, and the devotion and courage of the
National Guard and army, the revolt has been sup-
pressed. The struggle has completely ceased in Paris.
The moment I am assured that the powers confided to
me by the National Assembly are no: longer necessary
for the salvation of the Republic I will respectfully re-
sign them into its hands. _

" CAVAIGNAC."
This communication excited the liveliest enthusiasm,
and the whole Assembly rising, cried " Vive la 14-
publique!"
We are not surprised at the enthusiasm excited by
the perusal of this letter. It is worthy of the ante
cedents of General Cevaroeuc, and those who know
him best know that if there ever was a man who
took WASHINGTON for his model CAVAIGNAC is that
man. There is a remarkable resemblance between
the careers of General WAsirrioToN and General
CAVAIGNAC. Both are descended from ancient
families (General Louis EUGENE CAVAIGNAC is the
son of Viscount CAVAIGNAC), both have ever proved
themselves staunch and honest patriots and republi-
cans, and the families of both were known for their
republican connexions, the brother of General
CAVAIGNAC is the famous GODIcFROY CAVAIGNAC,
the former President of the Societe des Droits de
l'Homme ; both bad established a high military repu-
tation before they were placed at the head of affairs,
as the Dictators of their respective countries, and we
doubt not but that hereafter we shall be able to com-
plete the parallel by adding, that both after having
secured the liberties and organized the administra-
tion of their respective countries, surrendered into the
hands of their fellow-citizens that power which they
had taught them how to use without abusing it.
General CAVAIGNAC has published the following
address to the National Guard and the army
" Citizen Soldiers,—The sacred cause of the Republic
has triumphed; your devotedness, your invincible
courage have defeated culpable plots, and have done jus-
tice to fatal errors. In the name of the country—in the
name of universal humanity, be thanked for your efforts
—be blessed for this necessary triumph.
" Even this morning the emotion of battle was legi-
timate—inevitable. At present be as great in tran-
quillity as you have been in battle. In Paris I see
conquerors and vanquished; may my name be for ever
accursed if I should consent to see in it victims! Jus-
tice will take its course. Let it act. It is your opinion
—it is mine.
" Ready to return to the rank of a simple citizen, I
shall bring back amongst you that civic recollection of
having during those serious trials taken from liberty that
which the salvation of the Republic itself demanded, anti
°Chasing bequeathed an example to whoever in his turn
shall be called to fill duties as great.
"The Chief of the Executive Government,

"CAVAIGNAC."
General CAVAIGNAC has also addressed the follow-
ing circular to the Mayors of Paris :
" Citizen Mayor,—A great number of the insurgents
have been disarmed, and others no doubt will be. I
request you to take all the measures necessary that
those arms be collected in your main e. As soon as you
shall have collected some hundreds, I pray you to for-
ward them to the central depot of artillery (Place Saint-
Thomas-d'Aquin), where orders have been given to re-
ceive them."
The following proclamation was also published on
Monday evening
The Chief of the Executive Government. In virtue
of the decree of 24th June, 1848, which declares Paris
in a state of seige, and the decree of the 24th December,
1811, decrees that the officers rapporteurs of the court-
martial of the Ist military division and their substitutes
shall immediately proceed to the prosecution of all indi-
viduals arrested on the occasion of the attempts com-
mitted on the 23d June and following days, in order
that they may be punished according to the penal
laws."
The Mayor of Paris published the following decree
at an early hour on Monday evening :
" Considering the decree which placed Paris in a state
of siege, and the present state of things, ad the houses
of the twelve arrondissements of Paris shall be illumi-
nated every evening until further orders, by the land-
lords or inhabitants. The National Guards shall re-
main at the corners of the streets of their respective
arrondissements, and make patrols during every night.
The circulation, however, shall not be interrupted except
in the quarters in which such measure may be indis-
pensable."
The illumination ordered to take place was ren-
dered necessary by the destruction of the lamps, as
it was apprehended that during the hours of darkness
the insurgents "might attempt to renew the distur-

bances.

and of the Rue d'Angouleme were carried, and the in-
surgents confined within the line of the canal were
driven back into the Faubourgs Menilmontant and Po-
pineourt. Towards 11 o'clock the Mobile and the line,
crossing the canal at the bridge of the Rue St. Sebas-
tian, advanced into the Rue de Menilmontant on an or-
der given by General .Lamoriciere charged to act on that
point by combining his movements with those of General
Perrot, commanding the troops destined to attack the
Faubourg St. Antoine. The battallion engaged with
the Mobile and the National Guard in the Rue de Menil-
montant beyond the canal was to maintain its position
until further orders. In the meantime the cannon and
the howitzers which General Lamoriciere was ex-
pecting arrived. The pieces were placed in
battery and ready to fire. The insurgents thus concen•
trated were about to be attacked on all sides by an
imposing force, and no doubt they would have been ex•
terminated. General Cavaignac had ordered a regiment
of engineers from La Fare and Arras, and they had ar-
rived with all the materials for a siege. Ali was ready
for a final attack. What an amount of blood was still
about to flow! The day was advancing, and General
Lamoricilre, whose activity never slackened during four
days, and whose Hewes preserved by a miracle, was
waiting with painful "anxiety the moment to act, that
is, the signal for the attack on the Faubourg St. An-
toine. General Cavaignac, whose prudence equals his
firmness, wishing to avoid:the effusion of blood, had sum-
moned the insurgents for the last time to surrender.
He waited their reply. General Lamoriciere counted
the minutee. At length a message reached him from the
Assembly. The insurgents had surrendered, and the
Faubourg. St. Antoine was occupied by the National
Guard and the troops.
" When the news was announced soldiers and officers
crowded round General Lamoriciace, crying, Vice la
Republique,' and, pressing him in their arms, thanked
him with much warmth tor the noble and brilliant ser-
vices he had performed. A number of offic..rs returned
into town to announce the joyful intelligence."
The Moniteur du Soir gives the following officio'
account of the operations of the army under Genera,
CAVAIGNAC on Sunday:—

" The attack was commenced at an ear'y hour against
the Faubourgs du Temple, St. Antoine, St. Denis, and
the streets du Temple and bt. Martin. The Rue du
Temple was first cleared, but the insurgents who were
driven from it entrenched themselves in the fauhourg of
the same name, towards the Rue Saint Maur, and joined
their friends in La Villette and La Chapelle. The left
bank of the Seine was completely in possession of the
National Guard and of the troops of the line. At the
Place Maubert, however, a musket shot was fired from a
window on the Republican Guard, which was drawn up
there. The soldiers instantly entered the house, and
having found the man who fired the shot, they forthwith
put him to death. Some attempts were made during the
day to erect barricades on the left bank of the Seine,

Trone, thence turned to the right. passed through a
number of small streets, crossed the Rue du Faubourg,
traversed several streets on the left, and returned to the
Place de la Bastille. He everywhere met patrols circu-
lating without any obstacle. Whilst on his way to the
Barr ere du Trone, he heard two or three cannon shots
to the left, where General Lamoric.i,.e was operati:lg,
but, when he returned to the Bastille, the firing had
ceased. The Faubourg was then quietly token pos-
session of by the troops, and, if any resistance continued
on the left, it could have been only partial."
M. Anthony Thouret here rose and said---." It was re-
ported that M. Larabit bad been killed. This lam
happy to state is incorrect. I met and embraced him
an hour ago in the suburb, and my colleague has been
removed to a place of safety. The resistance has nearly
ceased. A home on fire at the corner of Rue de
Laroquette fell in when I passed by."
M. Adelsward, who next ascended the tribune, stated
that he had left General Lamoriciere at a quarter-past
one o'clock, and had been authorised by him to contra-
diet the report of the capitulation of the Faubourg. It
street had been ill-treated. The
General
of the communications opened with
t(w'hnaeetsirennersodalcomplained
insurgents rtgrt ehun;sei tmbyahie , that the three battalions which had
three ree representatives. The success of
his operations had thereby been to a certain degree com-
promised. The insurgents, instead of making a desperate
stand, as they intended, on the side of the Bastille, had
concentrated all their forces along the canal, and the
capture of the barricade of the Rue St. Sebastian had
cost him dearly: A chief of battalion of the line, ano
ther of the National Guard, ten officers, and 120 rank
and file were either killed or wounded. Whilst General
Lamoriciere was operating along the canal, General
Perrot attacked the positions of the insurgents abreast,
on the side of the Bastille, and had advanced as far as
the Rue St. Nicholas. (Here M. Adelsward asked leave
to cite the names of three of the Garde Mobile who had
particularly distinguished themselves, but the Pieiident
saying that it was not three but thou-
sandse should cite, and would not allow him
