Guards of the departments are to be seen lying on
matresses and bundles of straw on the pavements. The
Champs Elysees are also full of troops."
Different versions have been given of the massacre
of General BREA. The Journal des Debats gives the
following as the correct one :
" The general had advanced with his eide•de-camp to
the barricade, in order to deliver some words of concili-
ation to the insurgents. He was on horseback. The
men on the barricades cried out to him, Come closer ;
dismount from your horse, we cannot hear you.' With-
out hesitating a moment they did so, and advanced. A
band of the insurgents immediately surrounded them,
and dragged them inside the barrier, saying that they
would shoot them immediately unless they gave orders
to the troops to give up their arms and ammunition. The
General energetically refused. The insurgents gave him
an, hour to reflect. At the expiration of that time,
meeting with a similar energetic refusal, they carried
their threats into execution, and threw the bodies on the
top of the barricade. What would have been to be ex-
pected from such wretches if Puri* had fallen into their
hands ?"

The funeral of the victims is to take place on
Friday.
The prisoners are represented as being many of
them very depressed, they imagine that they shall be
shot. The rallying sign of the insurgents was a
small osier wand that each of them kept concealed in
his sleeve, those borne by the chiefs were forked at
the end. Evidence has been obtained that besides
their general plan of operation, the insurgents
had a revolutionary government ready organized.
When the sedentary National Guard, the Garde
Mobile, and the line entered the Faubourg St.
Antoine, they saw the walls covered with red bills
containing the following: " Victory will give
wealth to all true democrats. A defeat will be
the conflagration and ruin of the Faubourg St.
Antoine." • •

The Constitutionnel says that the Bourse was opened
as usual at one o'clock on Tuesday, but that there
were present only seven or eight brokers and a few
loungers. At a quarter after one the Comrnissaire
de la Bourse having declared the forced absence on
public services of the fifty brokers, declared tke
Bourse closed, no quotations having been made. The
same journal states that in the Faubourg St. Antoine
alone 25,000 fire-arms of all species have been
seized, for the legitimate possession of which it is im-
possible to account. In most of the houses traces of
the occupation by the insurgents are to be seen. On
the tables are remains of gunpowder, of wine, and of
brandy, and on the floors large stains of blood.
Troops and National Guards from the most distant
parts of France continue pouring into Paris. The
army of the Alps, under General OUDINoT had set
out, but returned on hearing by telegraphic dispatch
of the suppression of the Insurrection. The National
Guards of Lyons and of Bordeaux are en route for
the capital. Everything continues quiet in the pro-
vinces.

The Constitutionnel gives the following account of
the proceedings of the insurgents at Belleville during
the tour days they held possession of that place :
" Since Friday evening Belleville was blockadtd by
the insurgents, whe❑ on Sunday morning a troop of 300
came and disarmed the post of the marie. They imme-
diately established another post, drove away the mayor
and his adjuncts, and invested one of themselves with
the municipal functions. The new mayor made the
drummers of the National Guard beat the genirale,
taking care to make a hundred or so men in blouses
accompany them, calling the people to take up
arms and erect barricades, and threatening if
they refused to use against them the most violent
measures. Notwithstanding their threats they met with
no support among the inhabitants. Seeing that they
had no success, they themselves took to forming barri-
cades ; in fact, they rude a great number along the
whole of the Rue de Paris, as far as the fortifications
Romainville. One of the most important was erected
at the entry at the Rue Pyat and the Rue Saint Lau-
rent, fronting the Barrier de Belleville ; and another
was formed in front of the marie ; but it was only of
secondary strength, and consequently not in a state to
arrest any serious attack. The construction of other
barricades behind these was principally intended to
guard them from an attack of cavalry or of light
troops, coming from Bondy or Vincennes, by the Ro-
mainville Railway. The dread of an attack on that
side seemed to give them great uneasiness, for they
were afraid every moment of being turned by the
troops, and being blocked up without a means of
escape. They remained till yesterday morning (Mon-
day) in this position. Yesterday, the news of the ds-
feat of the insurrection in the Faubourg St. Antoine
and the Clos St. LazAre, seemed to thin their ranks
considerably. They might have been seen passing up
the Menilmontant-road, and that of the Barrier de Belle-
ville, to go and seek an asylum, and secrete their arms
in the country parts. At the same the inhabitants of all
these communes, exposed to the attacks directed against
the insurgents, left their dwellings, taking with them
their wives and children, their linen, and their provi-
sions, to go and establish themselves in the country till
they might return to their homes. This they were soon
enabled to do, for the troops completely put the insur-
gents to the rout. The great barricade was sapped, and
the troops thus got possession of it easily, putting the
rebels to flight, and taking many of them prisoners. The
troops then completely occupied the streets, and were
received with the greatest enthusiasm by the inhabitants.
Many of the arms were recovered, and a general dis-
armament was taking place of those who had not an.
slivered the call of the National Guard.

" General Lamoriciere was accompanied, in one of his
visits to some of the prisoners taken in the late insur-
rection, by M. Thiers. On learning who was the person
who accompanied the General, one of the prisoners ad-
dressed M. Thiers, telling him that he had killed four-
teen persons with his own hand, and only regretted that
his victims were so few.

" One of the insurgents, who has been taken to the
Abbaye, boasts of having killed 22 persons in the Fau-
bourg St. Jacques. The monster was accompanied by
his wife and child. Several women caused themselves
to be remarked by their cruelty: one of them carried
the head of an officer on the point of a sword. The
wretch was killed by a Garde Mobile. Another woman,
who cut off the head of a captain, was conveyed to the
Abbaye.
" M. Brissot-Thivars, son of the " Chef de la Salubrite'
at the Prefecture of Police, and chef de bataillon of the
Garde Mobile, delivered thirty of his unfortunate
brethren in arms, who had been confined by a potter of
the Rue de la Roquette in one of the immense ovens
which serve to make pottery. M. Brissot-Thivars was
lucky enough to arrive a quarter of an hour after the
oven was lighted, and betore the men had sustained any
great injury."
