v*ring to attack a barricade in Rue Rambuteau. Both the

Laboulie, who spoke next, stated that he had visited
i,!! Rue de Clery, the Passage du Caire, and the neigh-
171ing streets, and reviewed the entire sth Legion, whom
lefound determined to perform their duty and die fur the
butintry.
°An other Member, who had proceeded along the left bank
the river, stated that all the barricades of the Place
‘4nbert had been gallantly taken by the Moveable and Re-
tblican Guards, but that their loss had been very serious.
,e environs of the Place Maubert and the Cite were then
pinquil. A non-commissioned officer of the Republican
Guard had seized on one of the barricades a flag of the
V.surgents, on which was written—" 13th brigade of the
National Workshops—Central School." The tricoloured
, he regretted to say, was disgraced by the association of
1417hrygian cap.
M. Duclerc, Minister of Finance, then begged leave to
trde a personal explanation to the Assembly. When it
invested General Cavaignac with the executive power,
General requested his co-operation. He replied that it
would depend on the National Assembly, but that in all
uses he should only retain office until the elose of the battle.
"s.We will, then, all resign," exclaimed one of the Ministers.
M. Lacrosse, the Vice-President, next announced that he

M. Desessarts, who had just left M. Domes, stated that he

SUNDAY, JUNE 25.
itAt half-past eight o'clock M. Senard, the President, took
We chair.
" The communications I have to make to the Assembly,"
Slid M. Senard, " are most satisfactory. The night was
Perfectly calm, and what is better, there is a certainty that
~_order will be quickly restored in the quarters where the re-
&tauce had been most obstinate. The whole of the left
• nk is pacified. Strong, patrols traverse the quarters of St.
▪ eques and St. Marceau, and nowhere existed the least
obstacle. The barriers of Fontainebleau, Arcueil, and Enfer
"re in possession of the troops and National Guard. Early
111 the morning I received a deputation of some of the most
respectable citizens of the 12th Arrondissement, who exposed
to me the anarchy that prevailed there in the ranks of the
ational Guard and in the municipal administration. Ge-
neral Cavaignac immediately took measures to remedy the
etril complained of, and had prepared a decree confiding to
*rite representatives of the people, Messrs. Vaulabelle,
roussard, and Deludre, the provisional administration of
,the arrondissement and the re-organization of the National
Guard. The accounts from the right bank are also favour-
able. General Duvivier is no longer circumscribed within a
grow space round the Hotel de Ville. All vestiges of the
insurrection had disappeared in the neighbourhood. General
i'alnoriciere had taken energetic measures to put an end to
the revolt in the suburbs of the Temple and St. Antoine,
and I am confident that, in a few hours, I shall have to an-
nounce to you the complete suppression of the insurrection.
The greatest discouragement prevails in the ranks of the
revolters, and in the quarters where the contest had been
bloat sanguinary the labourers who joined in it expressed
the greatest sorrow, and declared that they did not know
',Vaat they were doing.—(Loud murmurs in the Assembly.)
The news I have received from the departments is also
rpost reassuring. I will only cite a dispatch from Angou-
leme handed to me as I was entering the hall. The Prefect
announces that the intelligence from Paris had created uni-
Venial indignation. All the male inhabitants were enrolling
their names to march to the assistance of the capital. The
enthusiasm was at its height. The intelligence from all the
Other parts of France was equally satisfactory."
The President then read to the Assembly a project of de-
Iltee, which, after stating that the agitation and sanguinary
collision which took place during the last two days had
impended all the works and deprived the labouring classes
of all means of existence, proposed to open a credit of
i000,000f.. to be distributed among the indigent population
of the 14 arrondissements of the department of the Seine,
tad charged the Minister of the Interior and the Mayor of
Paris with that mission. The President observed that the
ad option of the decree was urgent, and the Assembly voted
it by acclamation.
The sitting was afterwards suspended.
The following history of the events of Friday, which
We extract from the Journal des Debate, will, in con-
kiletion with the reports of the proceedings of the Na-
tional Assembly, give a complete history of the events of
the insurrection up to Sunday morning:—
"On Thursday the assemblages and the movements in
groups of the workmen of the ateliers nationaux manifested
A disposition of a threatening character, and the close of the
day did not witness the termination of? the excitement and
agitation. In the night time the assemblages remained un -
dispersed, and it is said that some patrols of the National
nerd were disarmed. On Friday morning, at nine o'clock,
the was beaten in the district of all the legions of the
National Guard, and at eleven o'clock it was that veritable
mound of alarm, the generale, that summoned the National
Guards to arms.
"A force of an imposing nature was concentrated in the
ttlorning and during the day about the National Assembly.
It seems that the evening before the Executive Committee
and the President of the Assembly had been made aware
that the leaders of the movement, who for some days past,
bad kept up a secret agitation amongst the workmen of the
tite liers nationaux, intended to organize for Friday an armed
insurrection in the most populous quarters of the city, in
order to effect the overthrow of the Government and the
dissolution of the National Assembly.
"On Friday morning the President of the Assembly di-
rected the rappel, for the National Guards to be beaten in all
the arrondissements. The whole of the Executive Com-
raittee assembled at the Presidency of the Assembly, and in
concert with M. Senard, the President, there collided
the command in chief of all the military force to
ueneral Cavaignac, Minister of War, with authority
ham that moment to adopt every measure he might deem
necessary to oppose the insurrectionary movement which
Was in course of preparation. General Cavaignac consented
to accept these powers, but be insisted upon not being
thwarted in respect to the orders he might issue, and upon
"Cog at liberty to issue them, without control, taking the
',thole responsibility of his acts on himself.
"The movement commenced at the Place de la Bastille,
Where the first assemblage of workmen was formed about
nine o'clock in the morning. From thence the crowd, con-
Isting already of from 600 to 700 persons, proceeded along
the Boulevards to the Portes St. Martin and St. Denis,
raisin cries of Down with the National Assembly,' Dawn
i',7tlll Lamartine," Down with Ledru-Rollin,' Down with
•ar.e," Long live the Republic, democratic and social.'
.„0" At 10 o'clock the barricades ,began to be formed at the
F rtes St. Martin and St. Denis. About 2,000 persons de-
Douched by the faubourgs with the banners of the Ateliers
Arse onaux, having at their head leaders recognizable by blue
taps with gold lace, and among them were men wearing the
11111iform of the Republican Guard. On reaching the Porte
lat. Denis, this body commenced pulling up the pavement and
!e "I ar, Mg down the iron railings along the ascent leading to
e Rue de Clary, and destroyed the drum of a drummer who
taking
beating the rappel ; and who only escaped himself by
'idling refuge in the Restaurant de l'CIDil-de-Bosuf, on the
Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle.
, "At 10 o'clock an omnibus was seised, and, the horses
Vitug taken away, was used in barricading the Porte St.
Denis; two cabriolets and a water carrier's cart were next
taken and employed in constructing a second barricade in
the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, where a third barricade was
also formed.

At this time, among the barricades on this boulevard, in
front of the Rue Mazagran, a number of children and women
were observable, the latter exhibiting great animation ; the
men of the barricades entered the houses and demanded
arms. They broke open the court-yard gates of two houses
in the Rue de Clery, and committed the same violence
wherever the inmates refused to let them in. At half-past
11 o'clock firing was heard in the Boulevard St. Martin, at
which time only a few isolated detachments of the National
Guards were to be seen. At noon the National Guard de-
bouched by the Rue de Clery, and a brisk firing began ; ono
• man was killed, while other persons, and among them a
woman, were wounded. The killed and wounded were carried
off by the men of the barricades. M. Roger (du Nord), formerly
deputy, rode to the spot by himself, dressed in his uniform
as Chef de Bataillon of the National Guard. Some of the
Persons assembled manifested an antention to disarm him
and force him to quit his horse, but he boldly resisted their
attempts, arrested one of the individuals, and directed the
National Guard to join him. A man, who levelled his piece
at M. Roger, who during the whole of this scene exhibited
treat coolness and presence of mind, was slain and fell dead
at his feet. At this moment the firing of musketry was
heard at different points at once. Three National Guards
Were killed at the barricade Mazagran and their bodies re-
'lained on the Boulevard, being stripped by the men of
the barricades. At this moment shots were fired from No.
3 and No. 5 of the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle ; No. 3
being the Café du Commerce, and No. 5 the Restaurant
Thierry.
" Twenty Minutes to One o'Clock.—At this moment our
reporter was compelled to quit the balcony of the house
No. 10, Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, in consequence of the
Shots which were proceeding from all directions, and which
Penetrated into the room, where several persons were as-
sembled. One of the inmates was wounded in the hand by
the rebound of a bullet, which at first hit the ceiling and got
flattened. It was not before one o'clock that the troops of
the line arrived from St. Denis, and up to that period the
only force engaged in the conflict was the National Guard.
At ;one o'clock a battalion of Light Infantry arrived with
General Cavaignac at its head, and followed by a battalion
of the Garde Mobile. The firing had now ceased to a great
extent ; only some isolated discharges being heard. About
the same time the artillery arrived.
"Two o'Clock.—All the shops are closed; the p'nerale is
beating in the quartier of the Hotel de Ville; the Place de
Greve is occupied by a detachment of the Republican Guard
and by troops of the line. A barricade is formed on the
Quai de la Megisserie, at the top of the Rue Planche Mibray,
and another is constructed on the Quai aux Flours, at the
corner of the Rue de la Cite. The Pont d'Arcolei is
occupied by the Garde Mobile, and the Pont-au-Change by
„the Republican Guard. Three barricades are made in the
Notre
de Deux-Ponts, and in the streets leading to the Parvis
Dame. They are guarded by numerous and formidable
bodies of men, who are all armed. Patrols of Dragoons are
Passing along the quays on the right bank of the river, where
are to be seen numerous animated groups of people.
" Half-past Two o'Clock.—A barricade is formed at the
Pont St. Michel. The Palais de Justice and the Prefecture
,of Police are occupied by troops of the line, by the Repub-
lican Guard, and the Garde Mobile. All the different floors
3f the Palais de Justice, at the angle of the Quai de l'Hor-
loge, are occupied by the Garde Mobile, who may be seen at
the windows. The Louvre and the Tuileries are closed, and
copied by the liativuej Guard.
