offences.

There has been some very severe fighting between the
military and the people at gtrasburgh.
Tie Republic has been formally announced by the Pro-

States Minister has recognised the .Provisional Gobern-
ment. Bordeaux has acknowledged the Republic. The
Provisional Government has decreed the immediate esta-
blishment of national workshops. A meeting of Peer,

Bou.Maza has made his escape. Dreadful commotion
at Amiens, but the troops have declared for the Republic.
Loss of life on both sides estimated at 500. The Duchess
of Orleans has, it is rumoured, been arrested at Millen.
At Madrid no Bourse held. A deputation from Belgium
has formally announced the accomplishment of the revo-
lution at Lille. Admiral Baudin has left to take command
.of the Mediterranean fleet. After bxecuting his commis-
sion he sails for Italy. Algeria is declared an integral part

. 55,000 000 f at the Treasury.

The Paris journals of Monday announce the perfect
reestablishment of tranquillity in the capital, and the ar-
rival of " adhesions" from the departments. They refer,
however, to horrible outrages in the vicinity of the metro-
polis, and in an especial manner at Rouen, where the po-
litical agitation was made the pretext for a brutal demon-
stration against the English worknu n on the railroads,
and the _burning of the wooden bridge of the Havre rail-
road. The Provisional Government was working with
energy for the reorganisation of all the public offices. All
the accounts from the departments announced the rising
of the people and the recognition of the Republic. The
army was equally and similarly unanimous. At Toulouse,
where a Legitimist expression had been feared, the Re.
public had been proclaimed with acclamation. The whole
of the Thiers and Odillon Barrot parties had rallied round
the Provisional Government. The first Marshal who has
given his adhesion to the Republic is. Marshal Bugeaud.
The hospital list shows that the number of wounded is
428, of whom 350 are civilians and 78 military. On Sun-
day, the 27th ult., a numerous band of incendiaries pro-
ceeded to Maisons Lafitte, near Paris, with the intention
of burning the bridge. The National Guard immediately
took up arms, but not being strong enough to oppose the
:ianditti, they sent for assistance to St. Germain-en-Laye.
A large detachment of National Guards of that town, ac-
companied by a squadron of dragoons, who each carried
behind him an armed citizen, immediately proceeded to
Maisons, where they arrived in time to prevent the de-
struction of the bridge. They then attacked the incen-
diaries, killed eight of them, and made a considerable
number prisoners. The incendiaries, nineteen in number,
who burned the bridge of Asnieres, have been arrested
after an obstinate resistance, in which one of them was
killed. They were . _

mercy of a lawless mob, and the National Guard felt themselves
unequal to the task of maintaining order. On Friday night
some miscreants secretly destroyed one of the arches of the
bridge near the Seine, on which the railway crosses the river,
took possession of the station, and tried to prevent any person
being sent to warn the approaching train, in which myself and
family were flying from Paris. A person succeeded in going
along the line, to meet the train, which was a monster,' and as
full as it could hold. It was brcught suddenly to a stop just
before it reached the bridge ; in another minute or two, all
would have been hurled into he river. There was no noise
until the train stopped, and then arose a shout of A bas lea
Anglais," A bas lea ekeniins• defer,' with a shower of stones,
breaking windows, &c. The wretches were silently awaiting
the expected event. The engine was reversed, and we were
sent back for several miles; and we then saw the bridge was in
flames. Serious-apprehensions were entertained for the safety
of the English, a number of whom are employed on the railway
and other establishments."
