their muskotS and prepared Tor what might
follow; but body of cavalry emerging
from the Rse dcs Capucines, at that mo-
ment charged, struck some OF the most ac-
live with the flat side of their sabres, and
very soon succeeded in dispensing the crowd
and relieving the residence OF the President
of the Council from the danger it was in.
In small street III the neighborhOod OF
the Rue Fivlene, q body OF ruliiians at
tempted to break into gunmakers room,
but failed. They then attempted the shop
of poor merchant de bois, and plundorcd

tanned, which they formed into stakes. In
the different attacks made by the troops
some severe blows were occasionally dealt,
and upon the whole considerable number
OF persons received sabre cuts and severe
bayonet wounds: but | did not hear of any
one being killed.
| may as well mention that among the
other cries which issued from the crowd
was that of Nlvc la iignc, which was TO be
heard every time the compact bodies, (which
appeared from time 10 time, passed regi-
ment OF Infantry. \ great number of prs
oners were taken by the police, who had
been caught in the act Of uttering sed!tlous
cries or throwing stones.
These are the principal incidents which
have come within my notice In the course
Of the day. They were not very serious
III themselves, bu! !hey are just Of a nature
that might at amy moment lead 10 a catas-
lrophe. One lhing must appear evident to
amy one who has seen the aspect of Paris
during this day; and that Is, that the Gov
eminent IN determining not to allow the
procession Of deputies, and the enormous
additlonal number oi persons which would
have assembled had ii taken place came 10
wise determination. Whether they world
not have done better had they given the or
ders for stopping It at an earlier period and
before the preparations were made, is an
other matter. think they would. Had
the notice been given three days ago that
the meeting was not be allowed, great
deal of excitement and confusion Of this
day would have been avoided. Thc excuse
OF the Government is, that 1t did not inter
iere until the promoters of the banquet be-
ganto organize and arrange National Guards
and other persons to form the procession.
The excuse is hardly tenable for it was
known and clearly announced several days
before, that the procession was to be one
OF the principal parts Of the demonstration.
1t is rumored that eleven of the twelve dep
uties of Paris have resigned their seats.
PANS, Wednesday 90 clock
After lde5pathadmy letters last evening, events
Of greater Importance than had taken place up to
post hour occurred In several streets running INTO
the Rue ST. Denis and the Rue St Martin, the reo-
pie erected barrcades by tearing up the paving
stones, Selling carts, omnibusses SSc. Most OF
these barbados were soon carried BY the municipal
guards and troops; bat at some OF them severe
engagements took place, Notwithstanding the pco-
pie we're almost entirely unarmed. The Market,
the Place dc la Concorde, the Place du CarrouseI
the Boueyards, the Rue ST. Honore, and an i'm
mense number Of other streets and places were
occupied by the troops-ln fact the whole OF Paris
was occupied rs II civil war had been everywhere
raging. Ike troops remained with their arms in
their hands all night As turned INTO the Rue ST
Denis, the Dragons who were stationed close by
the Porte, received orders to charge and saw
them gdIIop down the street at rapid rate, with
their drawn swords cleaning in the sun. At the
tmc moment detachments OF light drag Jons and
infantry fastened after them From this il was
clear that additional assistance was required ust
