HISTORY OF THE THREE DAYS.

From Galignaies Messenger.
The combat began on Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock, in the
rue St. HonorF, on the part of the troops, and the resistance of-
fered was immediate. The firing continued during the whole of
the night. On the following morning, the inhabitants formed but
one army. Some of the National Guard& re-appeared in their uni-
forms, and were greeted with reiterated acclamations. A multitude
of citizens joined the National Guards. Gunpowder and arms were
procured, and they marched to the Place de Greve. On Tuesday
night the guard-house near the Exchange was set on fire, and to.
tally destroyed : and on that and the following night, all the lamps
in the streets of the capital were broken. On Wednesday Paris
was declared in a state of siege, that is to say, it was to acknow-
ledge no military authority but that of the Duke de Ragusa.
The principal encounters of the day took place at the Hotel
de Ville, the Porte St. Denis, the rue de Cloitre St. Medan;
on the Boulevards, in the rue d'Antin, in the rue des Pron•
vaires, and in the rue Montmartre. The action in the latter West
arose out of an attack made by the Duke de Ragusa in perms.
During part of the day the Place des Victoires was occupied by
some troops, among whom was a part of the sth regiment of the
line, who had long gone over to the National Guards established at
the Petits Peres. About two o'clock the Duke de Ragusa arrived
at the Place at the head of fresh troops. lie drew them up opposite
the rues du Mail, des Fosses Montmartre, Croix des Petits Champs,
and Neuve des Petits Champs. He immediately commanded a
charge, and on both, aides several men were killed or wounded. The
Marshal directed-him troops down the rue du Mail, and they scoured
the rue Montmartre without much difficulty, till they reached the rue
Joqulet, when the citizens, firing from their windows, the Marshal
and his troops were compelled to retreat. In the course of the day most
of the military posts and guard-houses were attacked and defended,
taken and retaken, but in the end remained in the power of the na-
tional troops. The black flag was displayed on the Porte St. Denis
and other monuments. In the evening the barricading of the streets
commenced. A great number of the largest trees on the Bottle.
yards were cut down and thrown across the road ; in the streetlight
paving stones were taken up, and either piled in heaps or amt.
tered about a foot's distance, to prevent the approach of Imps I
the gate at the Palais de Justice was pulled down, and lamp.
posts, scaffoldings, carts, waggons, and vehicles of every description,
laid under requisition to form barricades. In the course of the day
placards and patriotic Proclamations were posted up in every direc-
tion. The citizens prodteded to the houses of the amounts and
took possession of all the arms they could find : the same was done
at the different thestrSie but all the other property was respected.
Several telegraphs, :including that on the Church des Petits
Peres, were dismounted. The sittings of the courts of justice,
the Exchange, and all the public and private establishments, were
closed on this day. Here the Swiss troops, stationed within
the edifice, and a large body of the Hord Guards, supported by
their artillery, again managed to keep the assailants in check until
midnight, when :the conflict gradually ceased, and the populace,
exhausted with fatigue, retired for the night, having been engaged
for eleven hours with a regular military force. their superiors in num-
bers, plentifully supplied with arms and ammunition, and, in fine,
with every advantage in their favour ; the people, who seemed ge-
nerally of the labouring classes, and the small number of the Ns-
thud Guards by whom they were assisted, not being half-armed,
and several times during the day were in actual want of anzmuni-
don ! The melancholy chiming of the tocsin, sounded by the peo-
ple, andithe cry of Awe emu ! Atte erases ! heard at every inter-
mission of the firing, added a fearful feeling of uncertainty as to the
result of the conflict, and the fateof the brave men who were thus de.
voting themselves against such overwhelming odds. Thus ended the
night of Wednesday. After the people had retired, a large body of
the Royal Guards were stationed for the night in front of the Louvres
but about three o'clock were removed, and the defence of this part
of the palace confided to the Swiss troops, three of whom were
placed behind each of the double columns between the windows If
the first floor, and in other parts, from which they could fire in
security. At half-past three in the morning, the tocsins began is
sound in various quarters, and the cries of " Atex avows !" were
plainly heard as the populace began to assemble. The noise et
breaking up the pavements in the various streets contiguous to the
palace, now plainly indicated that the attack was about to be re-
newed ; and at half-past four, at the extremity of the rue des Nu-
nes, a short narrow street, leading from the rue St. Howell, the po-
pulace commenced removing from their places the paving stones, in
order to form a barrier on the left of the Louvre. Upon this point,
a murderous fire was commenced by the Swiss troops, which was
kept up without a moment's intermission during the whole progress'
of its erection. A few shots were fired from a house next the spot
where the barrier was erecting, which, without doing much mischief,
divided the attention of the Swiss; hut many of the populace fell.
One of these unfortunates, after be had received his death wound,
cried, or rather shrieked out to his associates, " Mee la Nation!'
and instantly dropped upon the stones at which he was at work.
This event drew forth loud shouts of vengeance from his compa-
nions, and seemed to make a momentary impression on the royal
scope. The barrier was completed about eleven o'clock, and
a smart fire kept up from it. It was from this that two of
the assailants first sprang forward and gained the Iron railings
enclosing the front of the Louvre, where there is a dwarf wall
(about two feet and a half), under which they lay down,
and continued to fire upon the troops. Their example was soon
after followed by two of the national guards, one of whom carried a
large tri-eolouted flag, with which he contrived to crawl to a water-
bed standing close to the railing, and from behind it managed to
piece the flag with his gun and bayonet on the railing of the
Louvre. This courageous act was hailed with reiterated cries of
Pion la Nation," and very soon after about 900 of the assailants,
notwithstanding tie terrific fire to which they were exposed, now
rushed forward to the gate, and after a brisk discharge, the last
heard in this part of the building during the day, entered in test.
umph amid loud shouts of " Pita Is Charge," at precisely a
quarter to 12. They were, of course, speedily Mowed by thou.
sends. The contest, was, however not yet ended, for the troops
still retained premien of the gates opposite the Roe du Coq, and
other pans of the alike, which they defended until their ultimate
expulsion, which took place in a short time afterwards. Four
Aerates. filled with dead, were seen leaving the Louvre within four
hours of the assault, and many bodies were left on tbe graas.plot,
where they were yesterday interred. About 60 wounded were also
removed from the Palace, by their comrades to the Hotel Dieu, and
it was, truly gratifying to witness the kind and gentle care with
which these brave fellows treated their mutilated and suffering
companions. To the undaunted courage and gallantry of the
victors, it is impossible to do justice without an appearance of ex-
iggeration. Let it *office to my, that the conduct of the people of
Paid ,on this spot on the 291 b July, was never. serpent', in the
brightest annals of hie wars. • •
