 Later all the armourers shops in Pa ITS were attacked, and every weapon carried off. At eleven o'clock. cempa- ratlye quiet reigned throughout Paris; but the nature of such calm could not be misunderstood. 1t four o'clock in the morning the people began to assem- bleat many points, but principally in the Rue St. Honore. The well-dresscd mol, ot the preceding day re-appeared, and reinforced, but were outnurnbered by the terrible men from the Faubourgs of St. Antoine and Mareeau. The Tuil- ieries were approached, but no act of hostility occurred up to ten o'clock. In. In the mean while the brave of the e. 7evaTzt Garde Rationale began to assem- bic on the BouIevards, in the Place de Greye, and in other places, with the certainty of death if defeated. At the same moment new and most important incident occurred. The students off the Ecole Polytechnique, having been dismissed without their swords, fads Of from fifteen to twcnty-tElree years of age9 joined the people to man, then separated, proceeding singly to take command of the people, or rather 10 re- ceiVe 1t from them; and nobly did they repay the confidence so placed in them. In an hour animmense force was brought to bear On several points. The Hotel de Vile was attacked, carried and be- came the point d'oppui. The depot of ar- tillery to the Rue du Bac {St. Thomas q Aquin) was equally carried, and the cannon carried of tothemost important points, and worked with amazing cool ness and effect for twelve hours by those heroic youths.

 At ten o'clock went to the place du Carouscl. In the Rue Richelieu, and all the neighborhood of the Rue St. Ho- nore, the parties were en face. The 3d Guards maintained the appearance of determination to fight. The people were acumulating frightfully, ,nota word was spoken. The Garden of the Tuil- cries was closed.
