 For ten hours the war ragged incessantly.- On every hand, without intermission, musk etrv rolled, cannons thundered, shouts and cries were heard. At length the Hotel de Vile surrendered. and the tri-cOlored flag soon foated on the tower of the Hotel de Vile, and on those of the Cathedral, (NOtre' Dan1e.) At 10 o'clock Tuileries and Louvre still held out, but at that moment saw march along the Boulevard part of regiment Of lancers, whose appearance indicated extreme fatigue. They were quickly followed by a portion of regiment of infantry Of the guard. "'Tis a retreat" said military gen tleman near me, "ihey are in full deroute." regiment, or the remains of regiment Of curassiers, mixed up with gen d'armes de chase, next folIowed,-the horses cut up, and the men fainting. Lastly, portion of a regiment of the line followed with meian- choIy air The remainder of the three regi- ments were dead, and as my friend guessed, the survivors, with some soldiers of a regi- l nent of the line, were on their way to join l the King at St. Cloud.
 Thursday, July 29.-The attack on the Loure and Tuileries was renewed early on Thursday and with success, but with great slaughter. The Swiss guards were carried f1 1 the course of the day, and the Swiss, [haying refused to surrender,1 cut to pieces: At 4 o'clock in the evening there was not man in arms against the people in Paris. The tri- colured flag waved once more over all the public monuments. The appointment of General La Fayette to the command of the National Guard was a happy circumstance; SO,Ooo will be organized tonight.
 Saturday, July sl.-The Deputies that were in Paris assembled and issued a Prccla- nation addressed to the French people, in which they say they have appointed the Duke of Orleans to exercise the functions of Lieut.. General of the kingdom.
 l An address appeared in the Paris papers signed by the Duke of Orleans, in which he accepts the appointment of the Deputies, and says, '' The chambers are going to as- sembe, they will consider the means of se- cua ing the reign of the laws and the mainten- ance of the rights of the nation. The charter will hencefcrward be truth"
 A letter from Paris of this date says:- This is surely the most extraordinary na- ton on the face of the earth. The day be-
 fore yesterday Paris was filled with l5O, 900
 men engaged in mortal .combat-its streets
 ran rivers of blood, and reverberated the than der of artlllery-the roll of musketry-the perpetual tapping of the pas de charge-the
 toing of the tocsn-the cheers of the com
 batan's-the shritks and groans of the wound ed and dying. Yesterday morning all was calm. The military service was performed
 with order and precision by 100000 men,
 who never before this week figured as soldiers.
 A decent gravity reigned every where during the day. At every instant were to be met l men carrying on biers such of :he wounded as could be transported to the hospitals iu safety; 1,5O0 of all parties are in the Hotel Dieu alone.
 "The loss of both parties on Thursday, July S9th, was immense. It was evident to every man who saw them that the French troops were dejected. Some of them had not tasted food for 30 hours. They fought. moreover. against their own countrymen.- The poor Swiss had still more cause for de- Jection. for they apprehended that no quarter would be shown them. They were wrong. for the lives of all who surrendered were ] spared. The people fought like lions. At one point woman, in the costume of her sex, headed the Bourgeois. The Sd Regi- ment of the Guard (Vendeans) fought with ] extraordinary bravery and devotion. The Lancers of the Guard-the finest body of l men in the country-fought with herosm and constancy, but were dreadf,,Ily cut up. Ma ny of them (private soldiers) were young men of family. The Swiss fought bravely, and company of them defended the Rue St. Honore until every man fell. The contest l here, at the Louvre. the Tui!eries, and at the Place de Grcve, was maintained with the
 most dreadful obstnacy. The Rue St. Ho- nore, for two days. was perpetual scene of slaughter. There may be counted in the front of house which forms the corner of the streets de Rohan and St. Honore, 5000 shot holes. The Louvre, except the Picture Gallery-what a nation was on all sides at- tackled and defended at the same moment, and for hours.
 What a deplorabe act was the issuing of the Ordinance on Monday last What slaughter has ensued! What changes have been effect ed by "'
