oay before yesterday Paris was filed
win ioo,OOO men engaged in mortal
combat it's streets ran rivers Of blood
and reverbesated the thunder Of artil.
iery-the roll Of musketrv-the per.
Petusl tapping Of the pas de charge
the toiling OF the tocsin-the cheers IF
the eombatsnts; the shrieks and greans
OF the wouaded and dying. Y-.,er-
day morning all Vas calm. The mill.
tary service was performed with order
and precision by 100, 600 men, who
never before this week figured % SOL
d,ers-under tho influence, 70 be sure.
OF those heroic youths. the scholars Of
the Ecoie PoIytechnique, and the sx.
ample of the National Guards, q de-
cent gravity reigned every whore dur
lng the day. At every instant were
to be met meo carrying ON biers such
OF the wounded as could be transport
ed to the hospitals with safety; 800
OF all parties sre in the Hotel Dieu a.
lone. While each Of these unfortunate
poor fellows passed, every man pre-.
sent spontaneously and most respect
FULLY took of his bat. The dead were
also honorably disposed of. The num-
Der IN the Louvre was immense. Eigh-
~ were borne to q spot opposite the
eastern gate Of that building yestcr-
day, and buried with military honors.
Nearly a. many were put on board Of
lighter. and brought down the Seine
to the Champ de Mars, and there An.
propriately inferred. A considerable
number. among whom were four Eng
iishmen, who fell on the preceding day,
were buried in the Marche des limo
Gems.
The evening was, if possible, more
interesting and imposing. Already
had the principal portion Of the Garde
rationale been reorganiZcJ, and with
the people, the persons dignified by
the superior orders Is conoiile, been
put IN possession Of ell the military
posts OF the metropolis, and occupied
them with the air Of veterans. Along
the qusys and streets, the female in.
habitants were to be seen seated in
groups, preparing bandages and lint for
the wounded. The passages (arcades)
afforded striking instances Of this be-
nevolent disposition. All the mill.
ners and their shop women and work
women, were 70 be seen sitting outside
their shops, because those being clos.
ed, afforded no light. busily engaged
in making lint.
Paris is SO fortified interiorly, that
a million. Of men would hardly suffice
to carry IL. ! forget how many thou
sand streets II contains, but every
street ct them is capable Of long and
protracted defenee--the means for
which, however, do not feel at libsr-
~ TO describe.
The Ecole Militaire surrendered
yesterday. The artillery from Vin-
cennes marched upon ST. Cloud. The
fortress itself remains in possession .f
the Kings troops. The Due de Bor-
deauI is said TO be ihere--poor child.

caused them TO be informed, that they
were under the protection Of the ma
ton, and might resume their funeti
IN security. They have. in conse.
quence, all returned 60 their churches
and houses. A large force has assem-
bled at Versailles and Sc. Cloud, with
the intention, 10 is said, of remaining
there. They do not intend attacking
Paris, IT - believed, bot if attacked
they will tight. They occupy Meu.
