Particulars of the
TRENCH REVOLUTION.

Paris, Feb. 23j.
After dospatciled my letters last evening,
escnts Ut greater importance than had taken
place up to post hour occurred. in several
streets running into the Rue st. Denis and the
Hue st. Martin, the people erected barricades,
~ tearing up the paving stones, sezing carts,
Umnibuescs, &c. Most Of those barricades were
seon carried by the Municipal Guards and
troops: but at some OF them severe engapements
took place, notwithstanding the people were al |
tsost entirely unarmed. The Markets, the |
Place de Ia Concorde, the Place du Carrousel, |
the Boulesards, the Rue St. Honore, and an I'M |
caense number OF other streets and places were
occupied by the troops-in fact, the whole of |
Perss was occupied, as If civil war had been |
everywhere raging. The troops remained with |
their arms in their hands all night. As turn
ed into the Rue st. Denis, the dragons, who |
we're stationed close by the Porte, received or |
ders to charge, and saw them gallop down |
the street at a rapid rate, with their drawn |
swords cleaning in the sun. At the same mo-
meut detachments of light Dragons and infan-
Try haste1ed after them. From this it was

In some streets the popnlace have destroyed
the Electric Telegraph.
The National Guar, although the rappel was
frequently beaten last evening, scarcely turned
out at all. In several places, it is said that
scarcely three persons in whole company an
ewered the rappel. This morning the rappel
has again been beaten with like result. In
the districts where the National Guard did as
semble, they cried ''vive la ieformer and sung
the Marsellaise.

The Guizot Ministry has resigned. de-
putation of the officers Of the National Guard
went to the Tuiileries, to demand that it should
be dismissed, when they were told by General
Jacquomnot, commanding the National Guard,
that the ministry had given in its resignation.
The red aspect of the sky IN the direction of
Mount Vaierien showed that an incendiary fire
WAS raging there.
4Oclock.
The intelligence of the resignation of the
ministry is spreading like wild fire through the
city, and is everywhere received with every de-
monstration of joy. AT this moment there is
an immense crowd on the boulevard, shouting
"Viye Ia Reforme ~ A General commanding
the troops exclaimed, "You shall have reformr'
"And the dismissal Of the ministry e. cried the
people. "Ther dismissal, and accusation; and
cverythingr' was the answer, and it was receiv-
ed with shouts of applause.
The fighting in the quarter of st. Martin
still continues, and the troops are proceeding
to it. When, however, they shall learn the
overthrow of the ministry, it is believed that
hostilities will Immediately cease.
In passing the bank just now, saw the mob
had got possession of the guard house at the
corner. They had torn down the flag, and a
fellow hoisted it on a large pole. There were
then shouts Of ssTo the Tuilieres. to the Tuil
lcriesw
Fresh troops are being summoned to Paris
The regiment of Carbneers, in garrison a,

the inhabitants have been told to prepare oi
the reception of troops.
During last night the barricades of yesterda,
morning were removed. However, this morn
ing, large numbers of the populace were under
arms, and rebuilding barricades. The streets
of st. Dennis, st. Martin, Rambuteau, st. Sau.
vicr de Gravillers, and all the narrow streets adj
joining, have been barricaded, and so well de-
Tended, that, up to III O'Clock, the troops hat
failed in their attempts to take possession o
them. The Municipal Guard were repulsed tG
the Roe Montorueii, by the firing of the popu
Lace. The garrison of $4,000 troops are al
employed to guard the innumerabe avenues t.
the Place Gerard. Many of the regiments art
overcome with fatigue. The Council of Min
listers, and a crowd of Parliamentary dignita
ries, have taken refuge IN the Chateau. Frest
troops are expected every moment by railway

All government officials have been orderet

~ided with hatchets to cut down the barricades
The I'd, 4th and 9th legions of the Natona
Guards have mustered strongly, shouting, ''yiv
"a reforme! A bas Guizot, bas lie Ministere!
The revolt now appears to be concentrated a
the st. Dennis and st. Martins quarters, wher
a sharp FIRE is kept up between the insurgent
and the Municipal Guard. 1t is rumored tina
the artillery are directed to destroy the barri-
cades, and that cannon have been fired in tie
streets.
