THE CASUALTIES OF THE FRENCII REVOLUTION.

There have he, a various accounts published of the killed and wound.
ed during the three nitmoruble drys of the last week of July. These
were necessarily incomplete at the early period of their publication ;
even at present it is known :hat gnat errors have crept into the
official returns wade by t..e differed districts.
The returns now m;de show, tha: during the three last days of July,
there were taken to the Hotel Dieu (the principal hospital of Paris)
3tiO wounded, of %limn 40 died during these three days. The wounds
were in general bad, there being above 100 fractured bones, for which
34 amputations van deented necessary.
At La el,tr I wounded were received. of whom tre died. Al gst
of Ow wti•antic:: asra itont the Louvre, Tutieries, Paluis Royal, ami
Caserne 'la liabyl.ina, wiage the firinz was :down pointblank. Of 15
amputations tnre. only 7 succeeded.
At St. Louis, 152 ivountivd were received. of whom 30 are since d:ad.
These wounded retuot.:. erne cram the Bstiktvards St. I)enis and St.
31anin, and from 11..! Leighhouring barracks and barriers where the
Bens d'artuts were attacked. Of Gor 7 amputations here, only 1
sue-
cecdcd.

At Da Pith'. 108 woandal were placed, of whom only 9 di.d. This
result, so different front the rest, is thus explained. Of these 108 only
had fractures, and but 2 of a nature to require umputatioo; anti some
likewise were taken on their way to this place, to the Hotel Dieu, aid
selected to be sent on because of their wounds being comparatively
slight.
Bt lkaujon 89 wounded were received, of whom 31 have died. This
mortality is attributed to the tact of these persons being chiefly brought
front the Tuileries mid Champs Elysies, in the thickest of the fight.
Twelve were actually dead when carried in, and of the badly wounded.
13 amputations were necessary.
At St. Antoine 77 wounded were received, mostly brought from the
rue at. Antoine. the interior Boulevards, the Bridge of Austerlitz. and
the barracks in that quarter. There were only two ca..es of fractured
bones. There was no amputation, and the deaths were 13.
At the Mahlon de Santf, Fauxbourg St. Denis, 51 wounded were
lodged ; 12 of them died, seven during the first three days. They were
principally from the attack on the Corps de Garde of that fauzbourg.
Many amputations were successfully performed.
At the Hospital Necker 57 wounded were received, all from the bar-
rack of Babylon ; 5 of these almost instantly died, and 8 others within
24 hours after their arrival. Three amputations, one of the thigh and
two of the leg, were promptly performed; one only failed.
At the Incurables Femmes de la rue de Sevres, 54 wounded were
received, also front the Babylon Barrack ; 4 of them died during the
first and second day. Of this number was the young Vanneau, of the
Polytechnic School, whose head was pierced by a ball.
The Hospital du Cloitre St. Alery, and the audience-hall of the an-
cient Tribunal of Commerce, received 127 wounded, from the Place de
Greve, the rue St. Antoine, and neighbouring streets; five were
borught there quite dead. Of the whole number, some were after-
wards removed to the Hotel Dieu and La Charitk. There remained,
however, about 52 severely wounded : 14 of these died before the 4th
of August. There was only one amputation (of an arm), and the man
was cured.

At the Hospital d'Enghien, ten wounded were received and speedily
cured.

The Hospital Cochin received nine, with similar results; and six
other wounded persons were treated with equal success in the hospitals
tic Larochetoucault, des Capucins, Orphelins, &e.
The author, in summing up these calculations, establishes—that at
the public hospitals of Paris, were received about 1,200 wounded, of
whom about 304 died. These returns do not include the ambulances
which were established in various parts of the town.
The ambulances in the rues des Pyramides and Aivoli received
170 wounded, many of which were subsequently passed into the
larger hospitals, u accommodation offered ; 40 remained in these am-
bulances, none of whom died, or suffered amputation, there being but
few fraeturt.s.

Iu the passage of Saumon W 34 another ambulance, which received
BO wounded, nearly the whole of whom were cured.
The Bourse was also an asylum for the wounded, principally of the
citizens, upon the Bouletard and in the quarter St. Honore: 76 were
admitted, and of these 48 were speedily removed home, to the we of
their own families. Among the remaining 27 there were only 2 deaths.
There were, besides these, 400 wounded, whose injuries were cued
at home by the medical attendants of the Hotel Dieu, making the total
number thus accounted for 733. To these he adds 63 wounded, who
were attended at their homes by different surgeons of the capital, which
together with the 1,200 patients in the hospitals, gives a total number
of 2.000 wounded.

rhenium' of the wounded among the military are not so positive;
but he thinks that in the military hospitals 300 wounded were received,
and that about 30 amputations were succesaully performed. Six or
eight bodies were also taken in dead.
The following arc given by ill; author as the numbers actually killed
in combat :

Bodies deposited in the Illorgite .. .. 125
Interred before the Colo:mule .. .. ... 85
At the end of Rue Froment.tu ... 25
In the vaults of St. Eustoche ... ... 43
Ho. Quay de Gems .. ..
Do. Hotel latrochefoucault .. ... .. 8
l'o. Marche dos innocent' ... 70
...
Coupling these 399 deaths with the 304 la the hospitals, and adding
to them the wounded zeceiced at Gros Caillon and the Val de Grace,
there would be a return of 3,000 killed and wounded during the 27th,
28th. and `...)9th of July, front authentic facts taken front the records
already quid. cl. '1 he municipal authorities are null inquiring into the
amount of casualties s.hicti certainly occurred. but are not comprehended
in the medical returns.
