During the night and this morning
troops have been pouring in from every
quarter within circle of fifteen leagues
The artillery has also arrived from Vim
cennes. = The total number of regular
troops now in Paris is said to exceed
80, 900 men.
In the early part of the morning some
severe fighting took place near the Halle
in which the insurgents were completely
routed and great number ofprisoners
have been taken, and are conveyed ia
the Prefecture and other places of safe
custody in detachments Of from 80 to
SO each. escorted by strong parties Of
Dragons and National Guard. The
populace do not appear at all to sympa-
thise With rioters.
We have Just learnt that the greatest
carnage last night took place near the
Marais, where field officer, command
ing aregiment of dragons being killed
by a shot from the populace, the soldiers
by whom he was very much beloved, be-
came SO infuriated, that they rushed in
to 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 hatchets, but it was repel-
ed, and the court yard is occupied by q
strong detachment Of troops.
The cannonade, referred TO above,
proceeded from the Pont Notre Dame,
opposite the Rue des Arcis, in which a
considerable number of the insurgents
had taken up their position. Here the
gallant National Guards suffered con-
siderabIy from a Calling ire-several
battalions of the line were soon sent to
their relief with two pieces of cannon.
The newly arrived troops Immediately
formed in three lines, the first kneeling,
the second STOPPING, and the third up
right, and commenced a terrific platoon
fire, which together with the cannonade
lasted considerable ii ne. The insur-
gents made several attempts to rush on
the cannon after they were discharged,
but they were always repulsed with
great loss and ultimately the survivors,
amounting in number TO several hun
dreds, retreaied to the house No. 80,
Rue ST. Martin, where they barricaded
themselves III the church. Gen. Sebas-
tiani proceeded thnher in person, and
tion. They demanded to capitulate,
which was refused; and the General
told them that ifthey did not surrender
in ten minutes, he should force the doors
with the artillery. AT the expiration of
the nppoinredtilne directions were given
TO storm, aRa the church being carried
by assault, ! sall who had not fallen in the
skirmish were taken prisoners.
From this ,sime the fusiIIade entirely
ceased, with the exception of.a few shots
interci.angcd about 8 O'clock. near the
Halle, between the troops and some de-
tached groups of insurgents. The ma
tional forces were masters of all the
posts formerly occupied by the rioters,
who were either killed, prisoners, or
seeking their safety by individual fight.
As, however, the possibility Of some of
them railying sat night was conteinpla-
ted, every precantion was taken; all the
streets in which any disturbances had
taken place were occupied by troops,
and no one allowed to pass without be-
ing searched by the guards, to ascertain
that they had no concealed arms.
The postscript in GaligIiani of the
7th says, Paris is tranquil" The
King during the days Of the disturbances
had passed on horseback through vari-
ous streets, and was cheered by the peo-
pie. Many anecdotes are told ofhim
on his progress, that reflect great credit
on his head and heart; and proclama-
tlons had been issued by the French
Ministry, calling upon all good citizens
to preserve order and decorum-the ca
pi.al had been declared under martial
law. Various arrests had taken place,
including some persons Of standing. A
large number of persons, amounting to
several hundreds, were killed--the num-
ber not exactly ascertained.
