The Archbishop of Paris, who, in the SUBJ
lime exercises of the most awful duties of
Christian priest, sought to bring back that out
RACES multitude to reason and peace, was base
" shot from the back of barricade, and the
General Regnier who had survived the numer-
Gus campaigns of Africa, fell in like manner at
parley with the ouvriers of the Foubourg st.
ST. Antoine. Strange and terrible overflow of
the strongest passions and emotions of human
nature! So rash and horrible wrought in the
heart of city by the hands of her own citi-
zens. the world has not witnessed in the whole
survey of historic memory; and the arms of a
stranger and an enemy would have been de-
voted to eternal infamy if they had inflicted so
awfulsa chastisement on the great city of Paris.
None but herself could punish her iniquities or
infict her doom.
What will be the astonishment of all he
world. and the feeling of all military men in
particular, when they are told that the whole
of these works were defended by between 80
and $50 ruffiansl The largest number stated
was 400 How many Of the insurgents were
killed on Saturday at the barrier kochechonart,
think you, while the loss of the armed force
was more than 600. One of them was shot
through the brain while firing through loop
hole not six inches sn diameter Five were
wounded They ran from loup-hole to loop
hole with the agility of monkeys. They only
left the corner of the high wall to seek ammu-
milton, of which they had only scanty and
precarious supply.

brought as fine an army and as servlceabie a
park of artillery as the world could produce,

The new ministry does not give universe
satisfaction. Many persons complain of thu
retention, in power and form, of the old min
listers, viz: Recurt, Carnot, Belmont, anC
Bastide, and ask why NJ. Theirs is not pamed
They also complain that what is called the eli
que of the National has still the ascendency
and maintain as proof the nomination of AID
,niral Leblanc as Minister of the Marine.
As to the composition of the new Ministry
/ the only really bad nomination is that of Car

Ledru Rollin; for his circulars. when they wert
in power together before the election. were a
violent as those Of LedrU Rollin, and scenes
to have been written by the same hand.
As to Recurt, he is really an honest well
meaning republican. For twenty years h
has enjoyed an unsullied reputation in private
life, and none of his public acts have brough
odium upon him. Belmont, the Minister o
! Justice, is also an honest man, and moderat
republican.
Bastide, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, al
though long suspected of tendency to aid re
publicanism, behaved nobly in the affair 0
Louis Blanc. He was the only minister VIII
had the courage and the honesty to deman
the arrest and trial of that mad demagogue.
