citizens. To their honor be it said, prop
erty, public or private, was every where
respected. The gates of the city are OPP
en-, and the streets, which had been torn
up by the populace, with the intention OF
throwing the stones from the tops of the
houses upon the military, are repairing"
Much blood, has doubtless been shed.
In the Fauxboug of st. Dennis it was re-

the artillery, shocked at SO much carnage,
and seeing the determination Of the peo-
pie, had refused to fire.
The events connected with this revolu-
tion, have passed before us with unexam-
pied rapidity, that they float hazily in the
mind like dream rather than facts offic-
ially authenticated. We must cndeavor,
however, to present the reader with some
thing like an Ineligible history Of the
week during which they occurred. The
Royal Ordinances which We published
yesterday, and which were the immediate
cause of the explosion, were dated on the
25th July land published on the 26th which
was Monday. simultaneously with the
issuing Of these DEGREES, Martial Mar
mont, Duke Of Ragusa, was invested
with the command of the troops. On the
following, (the 26th,) the Bank refused to
discount bills, upon which all the manu-
facturers discharged their workmen, and
the streets of Paris were filed with groups
discussing aloud this extraordinary state
of things.
Tuesday the 9th, was really day OF
great excitement and agitation. The Po-
lice were busy in attempting to prevent
the people from visiting the usual places
of resort for papers and news. The Jour
nal ordinance was issued, requiring the
printer to proceed with its composition
the following day A similar order was
issued for the publication of La France
.Noupelle, but it was disobeyed. The stu
dents of schools were ordered not take
part in any illegal assemblages and public
disorders. On both sides blood was shed.
Indeed the insurrection had commenced.
On Wednesday, the 28th, Paris was in
possession ofthe insurgents. The citi-
zens were all armed with pixies, with pis-
tolls, with FIRE arms, or with bludgeons.-
The soldiers had, for the most part either
Joined with or refused to act against the
people.
The seizure Of the presses ofthe liberia
journals, appeared to be the signal for the
manifestation ofpublic opinion. The pop
aace was no longerto be intimidated by
the troops, and bloodshed ensued to
frightful extent on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Many ofthc National Guards now
spontaneously took up arms in defence oi
the public liberties, but the Government
neglected to profit by this open demon
stration offeeling, and persevered in the
course which termin ated in its ruin. This
state of things continued uutil the enrag-
ed populace and the National Guard at
tackled and carried the Hotel de Vile and
several small posts. The Kings troops
then charged in turn, and after an obsti-
nate resistance, in waich much blood was
spilled, succeeded in retaking them. The
possession however was of short duration,
as the students ofthe Ecole de Droit, and
the Ecole Polytechnique, fell vigorously
on the military, and drove them from their
posts.
The National Guard being then organ
lied to a considerable extent, and having
at their head General Gerard, undertook
the duty of protecting the city, and gained
over to the cause of the people the 9Th
and SD regiments ofthe line.
During these proceedings the populsce
being formed INTO bands, armed every
way, and organized to great extent, gain
ed considerable ground and pushed their
advantages to the extrcmities Of the city.
The Royal Guards, who had been ordered
to evacuate Paris, were directed to pro-
cecd to St. Cloud The 3rd regiment of
Guards who had not quilted their posts at
the uilleries, we're attacked there at IL o.
clock in the day, and the posts being fore
ed, the troops retreated to the Louvre
Here they were again attacked at 8 o.
clock, and, after heavy firing, they
dispossessed, and finding further resist
ance hopeless, retired from Paris.
A meeting ofthe Peers had taken place
but with no material result.
