place up to post hour had occurred. In sew
eral streets running into the Rue st. Denis
and the Rue st. Martin, the people erected
barricades, by tearing up the paving stones,
seizinq carts, omnibuses, &c. Most OF these
barricades were soon carried by the munci-
pal guards and troops, but at some of iAsm
severe engagements took place, notwilhsiatd-
ing the people were almost entirely unamed.
Great numbers of fresh troops have been
marched into Paris this morning, from the
towns and. .garrsons within reach Of the capi-
tai
In some streets the porulaco destroyed the
electric telegraph.
The National Guard, though the rapPei was
frequently beaten last evening, scarcely tur-
ned out all; In several places, it is said, that
scarcely three persons in a whole company
answered the rdppel This morning the rap
mel has been again beaten with a like result.
In the districts where the National Guards
did assemble they cried ''Vive Ia Relorne -
and sung the Narseillaise.

putation of the officers of the National Guard
wen, to the Tuileries TO demand that ii

General Jacqueminot, commanding the Ma
tional Guard, that the Ministry had given in
It's resignation

a.issal and accusation, and everything was
the answer and it was received with shouts
of apSlansa,
The fighting in the quarter Of St. Martin
still continues, and troops are proceeding Il
