manding the impeachment of the members of the Ex-

ecutive Committee.

About 6,000 of the insurgents, who have escaped
from Paris, have taken refuge in the forest of
Bondy, the wood of Versailles, the wood of St.
Germains, and the Bois de Boulogne. Troops have
been dispatched to disperse them.
Sinister rumours of assassinations and poisonings
continue to be circulated. Shots are fired upon sen-

Lnels and orderlies from houses as they pass. Staff

officers are attended each by two orderlies.
The following is the last report of the superior
officers killed and wounded in the insurrection :
General NEGittEa—killed. General BREA— assassi-
nated. General FRA.NCOIS—killed. General REG•
NAED—killed. General BOURGOII received a ball

in the thigh ; amputation is itnpossible and
his recovery very doubtful. General CORTE
wounded in the leg ; his state is satisfactory. Gene-
ral DAMESME—his leg has been amputated. There
are some hopes of his recovery. General DUVIVIER
—wound in the foot ; more serious than was at fir,t
supposed. General FOUCHER—wounded in attacking
a barricade in Faubourg du Temple. General BEDEW

—wounded. There is no foundation for the rumour
that General BEDEAU had been obliged to submit to
the operation of amputation.—General OUDINOT,
Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Alp 3, hai
aarived in Paris. _ _

...... . ..
A great number of balls extracted from the
wounded of the National Guard and the army were

composed of pieces of iron, which, by a refinemeut
of cruelty, were pierced, and a piece of copper wire
introduced which projected on each aide. In many
cases this has prevented the extraction of the ball,
and the wounded have consequently died.
Among the wounded at the Hospital Saint-Louis
is a captain of the National Guard, who was taken
whilst fighting on the side of the insurgents. He is
wounded in the arm, and gangrene has commenced,
but he refuses to submit to amputation. There are
several other insurgents who were yesterday at the
point of death, for, before they were found and
brought to the hospital, they had concealed them-
selves to prevent arrest, and their wounds not having
been attended to, mortification had taken place.
Several of the Gardes Mobiles and a great number
of non-commissioned officers of the line are in this
hospital with severe wounds, but which in most cases
promise to end favourably. There is one youth of
the Garde Mobile who has no wound, but has been
deprived both of sight and hearing by a nervous
shock, during the conflict, from the commotion of
the firing.
Several of the insurgent prisoners declare with en-
thusiasm their belief that all proprietors are robbers,
and say that is the creed for which they fought and
for which they are prepared to die.
One of the standards seized by the Garde Mobile
on the barricades, and deposited in the Assembly,
bears the inscription " Pillage for three hours."
The different bands of insurgents corresponded
with each other during the insurrection, by means of
signals exhibited from the upper rooms of houses.
About twenty men were seen making signals, on
Sunday, on the balcony in the house No. 26, Rue St.
Denis. A lieutenant of the National Guard ascended
a house higher than the balcony, and saw that the
signals corresponded with a roof of the Rue de la
Haumerie, a belvedere of a neighbouring street,
the Tour Saint Jacques la Boucherie, a roof of the
Rue Saint Antoine, and other points of the Fau-
bourg Saint Antoine. Having made known what he
had discovered, it was decided to attempt to dislodge
the men. The mission was a perilous one, but the
lieutenant proceeded to it at the head of eight sol-
diers of the line. On arriving on the balcony, he
summoned the insurgents to yield. Their chief, a
well-known communist of the sth arrondissement,
discharged a carabine at him, after taking deliberate
aim. The ball, however, passed near his head, with-
out touching him. A soldier immediately shot the
man down, and every one of the other insurgents
was slain.
It results from an investigation made at the re-
quest of the De Narbonne family, that the insurgent
who was shot with arms in his hands in the garden
of the Luxembourg, and who has been called the
Count DE NARBONNE, was a person name LECOMTE,
of the town of Narbonne.
Notwithstanding the result of :this investigation,
the general opinion in Paris is that the insurrection
was connected with legitamatist intrigues for the res-
toration of the pretender, who calls himself HENRI V.
His party is immensly rich, and has, besides, the
stores of the parti pretre all over Europe to draw
upon. Its connexions with Russia, also, are intimate,
The following circumstance is pregnant with sus-
picion.
On Tuesday a sentinel observed a cabriolet, in
which were two men pass by him, which attracted
his attention. Thinking the springs were more
depressed than they would be by the ordinary weight
of two men, he called on the driver to stop, and after
some difficulty, in which it became necessary to call
on other soldiers, he did so. The men were obliged
to descend, and on searching them and the cabriolet,
a large sum of gold, of Russian coinage, and a con-
siderable quantity of cartridges were found. When
interrogated, they pretended not to understand
French, and made the sentinel understand that they
were Poles. A National Guard addressed them in
Polish, but no reply; in English and German, no
better success was obtained. They were arrested,
and taken before the Commissary of Police. They
were armed with dagger-pistols.
With regard to the reports which have been cir-
culated tending to cast imputations on the British
Government in regard to these matters, we were re-
joiced last night to hear the indignant disclaimer of
Lord PALMICRSTON in the House of Commons. His
Lordship, in replying to a question put by Mr.
WYLD on the subject of the alleged seizure of a Bri-
tish ship, laden with arms, on tip coast of Brittany,
said "that he would take that opportunity of saying that
during the recent events which had taken place in
Paris reports had been industriously circulated there
tending to cast imputations upon the British Govern-
ment of having been concerned in bringing about
these events. He was happy the present question
had been put, as it afforded him the opportunity of
stating that there could be nothing more false or
unfounded than imputations of such a kind.
Her MAJESTY'S Government had every reason to
acknowledge the fair and handsome manner in which
the Provisional Government, and the Executive Com-
mittee in France, which was subsequently established,
had conducted their relations with this country.—
(Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more fair and
honourable, and he trusted that no man living, who
knew the principles upon which the British Govern-
ment had ever been conducted, could doubt their
honour and their good faith.—(Cheers.) If the
question of the Hon. Gentleman related to any
suspicion that the arms seized had been sent to France
by the English Government, it was scarcely neces-
sary for him to say that there was not the slightest
foundation for such suspicion.—(Cheers.)"
That there is a part of the British aristocracy plot-
ting with the exiles from France and from Austria for
the destruction of the British Ministry, with a view
of thereby aiding a counter-revolutionary reaction
throughout Europe, there can be no doubt ; butlthose
persons are the declared enemies of the BritishiMinis-
try, of the British policy, and of the great majo-
rity of the British nation. They belong to the class
of selfish insolvents, whose estates are mortgaged be-
yond their value, and who, in common with the Com-
munists, advocate the plunder of the middle classes.
Indeed, in almost all countries, the members of the
old aristocracy have of late exhibited a tendency
towards Communism.
M. DE CORMENIN has made the following report as
to the prisoners taken in the insurrection :
" At the Luxembourg there no longer remain any pri-
soners. At the barracks in the Rue de Tournon there
were at first about 1,200, but all have been removed ex-
cept about three hundred. M. de Cormenin went un-
attended in the midst of them, they are all working men.
Yesterday, for the first time, they had some soup distri-
buted to them; up to that time they had had nothing but
bread. What they most demand is power to write to
their families to inform ' them of their safety. They
also demand to be examined as promptly as possible.
An additional number of examining magistrates have
been appointed for that purpose. M. de Cormenin has
demanded that the children of twelve years of
age and under should be the first examined.
The prisoners in the Rue de Tournon are being re-
moved as quickly as possible on other points. In the
Tuileries about eight hundred were at first placed in the
subterraneous passage leading under the river terrace,
They are forbidden to approach the bars of the windows
and several have been shot for non-observance of this
order. M. de Cormenin has caused the dead bodies to
be removed, but he did not enter the place himself, for
the place was in too dreadful a state. In consequence
of their confinement in this place many of the pri-
soners were in a state bordering on insanity. Orders
bad been given for their removal, fearing an infectious
fever may be generated. The number of wounded
in the Tuileries is considerable. They consist of Na-
tionali,Guards, Gardes Mobile, and insurgents, and are
all treated with the same care by the medical atten-
dants. Amongst the, number is the violent clubbist,
Deplanque. Several women who rendered themselves
notorious for their acts of barbarity are confined in the
Tuileries.
" The examinations of the prisoners is proceeding
rapidly; it is made by military officers and by magis-
trates.
" The prison of St. Lazare contains 240 prisoners,
whose wounds are only slight. They occupy the ground
floor, the women having been removed to the upper
stories. There are also many wounded National Guards
and Gardes Mobile in this establishment. Five exa-
ming magistrates are actively employed in taking down
depositions against the prisoners in this building. They
are all anxious to remain there until the trials, but the
director has applied for their removal. M. de Cormenin
has not yet visited the Hotel de Ville or the Concier-
genie. The prisoners who were talon to the former

place declare that they Buffered more there than in
any other place of confinement."
..
Attempts at poisoning and incendiarism continue.
An officer who resided in the Rue Vivienne is dead, in

consequence of smoking a poisoned cigar.
The following letter, addressed to the editor of the
National, proves the base treachery of the insur-
gents :
" The interest which you show towards the army in-
duces me to hope that you will publish the following
details:—l was at the head of the armed force which
carried the first barricade in the Rue Montagne, Saint
Genevieve, when the insurgents, who were behind the
second barricade carried the butt end of their mubliets
in the air, to signify that they surrendered. This turned
out an infamous act of treachery.
" I advanced towards them alone, pointing to the cross
of honour suspended at my button-hole, and made a
sign to them not to fire. 'lf we surrender we shall all
be massacred;' they said ' No.' I replied, 'lf you
take down the barricade and lay down yours arms, you
will not be injured ; I pledge you my word as a soldier,
and I explained to them, that although in plain clothes
I was an officer, and had left the army of Africa. The
first shot fired by my men shall be on me, for I will re-
main with you.' They then said, Get up on one bar-
ricade and we shall have confidence in what you say.' I
did so, but scarcely had I reached the summit when
some one of them getting behind me pushed me down
amongst the insurgents. I was immediately stripped of
my clothes, my arms and my cartridges, and should,
doubtless, have been killed, for many of them cried out
Kill him, he is one of the leaders of our murderers ;'
but some old soldiers coming forward, I was taken into
a house where they had some other prisoners, who,
doubtless, they had seized by similar acts of treachery.
In an hour after a captain of the 2d Legion of the Ban-
lieue (Boulogne), and a pupil of the Polytechnic School
were brought in prisoners, which increased the number
to seven, three of whom were decorated with the cross
of the Legion of Honour.
" On being released from this imprisonment by the
barricade being captured, I went towards the place where
I was told I should fair in with the Ist Mobile; when in
the Rue St. Jaques I met the 10th battalion of that
force, and I was arrested by them. I could not satisfy
them as to my rank. I endeavoured to speak, but my
agitation prevented me. It was even proposed to shoot
me as a rebel leader. A captain of the force, however,
saved me, and decided on taking me to the Luxembourg.
On my way there I fortunately was met by one of the
Ist Legion, who recognised and saved me. I was taken
back to my quarters. The officers and men of the 10th
battalion expressed their regret for what had happened,
but circumstances were sufficient to justify them.
" On the-following day, the 24th, I again took a musket,
and was going out with the Ist Mobile, who justly con-
sider me as their friend, when I met General Negrier
marching towards the Bastille. I followed him, and
when before that monument he dictated to me the fol-
lowing note, which I was to take to M. Marrast :
" 6I am at the Bastille, master of both banks of the
river. I wait for the movement which is to take place
on the Boulevard. " • NEGRIER.
66 Five. minutes past Four.'
" I communicated this note en route to General Ca-
vaignac, to whom I explained the situation of General
Negrier ; and having fulfilled my mission I returned to
General Negrier, and was with him when he fell.

" Member of the Legion of Honour, Officer of the
25th of the Line.
"Some of my papers may, perhaps, have been made
use of by the insurgents for their own purposes."
The policy of the new Ministry will be one of
moderation. At a meeting of the members of the
moderate majority of the Assembly, which was held
on Thursday, it was resolved to support any Ministry
who would adopt certain measures considered neces-
sary to the restoration of order. This meeting, which
took place in the Rue de Poitiers, and was attended
by a large number of the ex-Deputies and the mode-
rate party of the new Deputies, resolved that the
following measures were indispensable, and
such as would alone entitle any government at
present to their support.-1. The rigorous dis-
banding and disarming of those National Guards
who refused to co-operate in resisting the
recent insurrection ; 2. The maintenance of a garri-
son in Paris strong enough to resist such attempts as
those of May and June ; 3. The immediate dissolu-
tion of the ateliers nationaux ; 4. The temporary
closing of the clubs; 5. The provisional maintenance
of restrictions on the press.
A committee of seven were named, who put them-
selves immediately in communication with General
CAVAIGNAC, and it is understood that the Ministry
which has just been formed has received their ac-
quiescence.
Orders have been dispatched by telegraph to close
all the clubs, and the order has already been carried
into execution in many departments.
The provinces continue tranquil.
