with muskets and singing The Marseillase and tn
chorus Of the Girondins. They were receive,
with uproarous fluctuations by the people, snt

seems 10 be the organ Of this formidable opposi

scene was repeated SIX times during the night.
At 10 o'clock, column OF six or eight nun
bred people of all ranks, who had been fighting
passed up the Boulevard. Among them weI,
evidently many OF the Communists, and, posi-
bly, some Of those maelacors who vii! mix ir
all popular movements. The bearing and atti
tude of this column was terrible. The subse
quent act Of one Of this party justified the appre'
hension which their appearance suggested.
Although NJ. Guizot had retired nom The min

occupied and guarded by troops. About tel

in command and blew his brains out with pis

fired on the people, killing four or five.
Shortly after this the buz Of an approaching
multitude coming from the Boulevard DIES Capu
cines was heard, and low song Of death
''Mourr de la patrie," was chanted by III,
hrong instead OF the victorious MarSellaiSe.-
T Mingled with this awlul-awlul and imposing
chorus the noise Of wheels could be heard 1

f open cart surrounded by torch bearers. Tn
light was strong and discovered four or five deaf
bodies, partly undressed, which appeared to hav
been carefully arranged in the cart.
When the head OF the column reached the col

to burst of fury, which will not soon be forgot

halted at the Office Of the National, and tn
whole party burst into an unanimous cry c
Vengeance.
The night was an awful one. At the corne
OF every street is baricade.
