The Republic Triumphant.

The commencement of rebellion appears to have
been - deputation Of curriers' who waited upon
NJ Marc at Luxembourg. He listened to their
grievances but observing that their spokesman had
been active in the affair Of the 18th of May said
70 the men" You are not the slaves of this man.
You can state your own grievances" This eX-
preston was distorted among the workmen that
NJ. Marc had called them slaves, and it seems to
have been the signal for the conspirators, who had
organized q vast movement to commence their
operations. On Thursday night, the 22d Of June,
the first barbados were raised, and the troops
and the National Guards called out.
On Friday. the 23d, the insurgents possessed
themselves Of the right bank Of the river Seine,
stretching from the Faub0arg 81. Aatoiae to the
river. while on the left bank they occupied all
that portion called the cite, the FouJoargs 81
Marcel S. Vicf0r and the lower quarters Of 81
.JacQues. The communication of the insurgents
between the two banks Of the river, was main
tanned by the possession of the Church ST Laivaic
part of the quarter of the temple, the approach
es of N0ire Dame and the bridge st. Michel.
BY these extensive lines OF operations the in
sureents occupied vast portion Of the most de-
feasible parts OF the city and actually threatened
the Hotel de vale, which if they had succeeded II
taking might have secured the final victory on
/ their side, On Friday there were partial con-
/ aicts but the insurgents seemed to be occupied
more at terrifying their positions than in actus
( f-htine: but whatever success the Government
troops may have had in various quarters where
conflicts took place was al St. Denis and ST Martin
1t now appears that the enthusiastic courage o.
the insurgents repused them, and even beat them
in other parts of the city. NJ. Lamartine rode witt
the staff of Cavaignac through Paris TO Qrell tie
insurrection, but it was evident that nothing bat
the power Of arms could compel the insurgents ic
yield The Government forces were divided int
three divisions and large masses OF troops were
brought to bear with artillery upon the position %
the insurgents, but still Friday passed and the in
surrection had evidently gathered strength
On Saturday, the 2ith, the National Assembly
declared itself in permanent session and Paris
was placed in state OF siege. The Executive
power was delegated absolutely to Cavsisnac, ant
al hslfpast 10 the members OF the Executive too
resigned. They declared that they should have
been wanting In their duties and honor had they
withdrawn beiore-as sedition, or public perl
they only withdrew before vote OF the Assembly
Reports poured In every hour to the Assembly,
and As the intelligence arrived OF the slaughter O
the National Guards and the fall OF one General
after another. who was killed or wounded by tue
insurgents the sensation became deep and alarm

but 70 no effect
The whole Of Saturday was employed IN des'
pernte fghtiug on both sides except lull during
frshtfal thunder storm. In the afternoon Of Fri
dav the conflicts were without intermission. On
SATURDAY.. however, the carnage and battle on the
south 1.-THE river were horrible. During the whole
Of Friday night and until o'clock on Saturday the
roar Of the artillery and the noise Of the muskets
were incesssnt.
In this irightiul state OF things the Assembly be-
trayed not little alarm. Depu,stions from the
Assembly were proposed to 60 and entreat the
combatanis to cease this fratucidal strife, but all
the successive reports proved that the insurgents
were bent on only yielding up the struggle with
their lives, and their vslor was only surpassed b!
their desperate resolution
On Saturday night at O'Clock the Capital was
in an awful state. Fighting continued with una.
bated fury. Large masses Of troops poured IN
from all the ueighboring Departments, bot still the
insurgents, having rendered their position almost
impresnable resisted more or less eiectualy al
the force which could be brought against them
