Guards, and the artillery. He was most en-
Enthusiastically received, and the whole troops
appeared actuated by the firmest determi-
nation to put down the rebellion by the
most energetic means.
In the course of the night seals were
placed on the presses of the Tribune, the
Quotidienne, and the Courier de PEurope,
by orders of the police, and the journals
have consequently not appeared.
During the night and morning, troops
have been pouring in from every quar-
ter within circle of fifteen leagues.
The artillery has also arrived from Vincen-
mes. The total number of regular troops
now in Paris is said to exceed 10000 men.
In the early part Of the morning some
severe fighting took place near the Halle,
in which the insurgents were completely
routed great number of prisoners have
been taken. The populace do not appear
at all to sympathize with the rioters.
We have just learned that the greatest
carnage last night took place near the Ma
rails, where field-officer, commanding a
regiment of dragons having been killed by
n shot from the populace, the soldiers, by
whom he was very much beloved, became
so infatuated, that they rushed into the mob
and gave no quarter. We also understand
that an attack was made on the Post Office,
the gates of which were cut with Eatchets,
but it wac repealed, and the court yard is
occupied by strong detachment of troops.
The cannonade referred to above pro-
ceeded from the Pont Notre Dame, opposite
the Rue Des Arcis, III which considerable
number OF the insurgents had taken up
their position. Here the gallant National
Guards suffered considerably from CALLING
tire-several battallions of the line were
soon sent to their relief, with two pieces of
cannon The newly arrived troops imme-
dately formed in three lines, the first kneel-
ing, the second STOPPING, and the third up
right, and commenced terrific platoon
fire, which, together with the cannonade,
lasted considerable time. The insurgents
made several attempts to rush on the can
non after they were discharged, but they
were always repulsed with great loss; and
ultimately the survivors, amounting in num-
Der to several hundreds, retreated to the
house No. 3 Rue st. Martin, where they
barricadoed themselves in the church,
Gen. Sebastian proceeded thither in person,
and summoned them to surrender at dlscre-
ton. They demanded to eapitulate, which
was refused; and the General told them that
if they did not surrender in ten minutes, he
should force the doors with the artillery.
At the expiration of the appointed time, d.
rections were given to storm, and the church
being carried by assault, all who had not
fallen in the skirmish were taken prisoners.
From this time the fusil!ade entirely reas-
ed, with the exception of a few shots inter-
changed about nine O'Clock, near the Halle,
between the troops and some detached
groups of insurgents. The national forces
were masters of all the posts formerly occu-
pied by the rioters, who were either killed,
prisoners, or seeking their safety by inh-
vidual flight.
Paris, June z. Paris is Tranquil. The
King during the days of the disturbance
had passed on horseback through various
streets and was cheefed by the people.
Many anecdotes are told of him on his pro-
gress, that reflect credit on his head and
heart; and proclamatons had been issued
by the French Ministry, calling upon all
good citizens to preserve order and deco.
rum-the capital had been declared under
martial li.w. Various arrests had taken
place. including some persons of standing.
A large number of persons, amounting to
several hundreds, were killed-the number
not exactly ascertained.
1t is confidently believed that the Repub-
Leans have been paid with the money Of
the Carlists. We are informed that nc
less than 100000 francs have been distrib-
uted, and that for this sum the Republicans
consented to deliver up the country to Hen
ry V. They were to make themselves
amends for the inadequacy of the reward
by plumber.
