tcligcncc Of "A terrific and bloody iusurrcc-
ton in Paris. \ most powerful couspira-
cy, it appears, had been formed against the
republic, which was only suppressed after
a terrific slaughter. We give below some
Of the particulars, but our space compclS MS
to be much more Jricf in our extracts than
the importance Of the events deserves.
The commencement Of the rebellion ap
pears 10 have been by Il dcpu;ation Of one
ricrS who waited upon NJ. Marie At Luxcm-
bouIg. lie listened tothcir grievances, but
opning that their spokesman had been ac-
tive in the affair OF the 10Th Of May, said to
the mCu--"lou are not the slaves Of this
man. You can state your own grievances"
This expression was distorted among the
workmcn, that NJ. Marie had called them
slaves, and 1t seems to have been the signal
for the couSprators, who had organized a
vast mOvCmcHt TO commence their opera
tons. On Thursday night, the 22nd Of June
the first barrcadcS were raised, and the
troops and the National Guards were called
out.

scSscd themselves of the right bank Of the
Seine, stretching fromthe Faubourg ST, An
tome to the river, whilst on the left bank
they occupied all that portion called the cite.
The Faubourg ST. Marcel, St. Victor, and
the lower quarter Of ST JaqucS. The com
muniCaticn = the insurgents between the
two banks ol~le river, was maintained by
the possession of the Church ST. Xarvaic, a
part of the quarter of the temple, the ap-
