IoNDoN, Saturday evening.
We subjoin from tie French papers u
few details Of the events Of which VIC have
given the heads bovc:
Athalf past lour il was hoped that the
worst was over. At half past seven the
Boulevard being then crowded, there ar
rived a column of the combatants. many of
them armed with .auskots, and singing tbs
NarseIcs and the chorus Of the Girondin5,
which have So often mentioned They
were received with uprorarous Fluctuations
by the people, and proceeded 10 the office
ot the Nationcl, which seems to be the or
gan Of ibis formidable opposition. They
demanded that the editors see thal their lib
critics arc not "again" played with. Mr..
Marrast. principal editor Of the Nationel,
harrangued them from the balcony, and ns-
surcd them Their liberties would this time
be secured. TLis scene was repeated six
slmes during the night.
At 10 clock column OF @ or 500 pco-
pie Of all ranks. who had been fighting,
passed up the Boulevard. Among them
were evidently maNy OF the Commentaries,
and possibly, some of those malelactors
who v Ill mix in All popular movements
| The bearing and attitude Of this column was
terrible. The subsequent act of one Of the
party justified the apprehension which
their appearance suggested.
Although VI. Guizot had retired from the
ministry, the Hotel DIES Ailaires DIES Etran-
CERES remained occupied and guarded by
troops. About 10 o'clock young man
walked up 10 the officer in command, and

him fall, his soldiers without orders fred
or the people, Of whom four or five were
kiIlcd.
The report of this discharge, at a moment
when we ilattered ourselves all was tolera-
bly, well over, created a panta sensation.
Twenty minutes afterwards, however, a
most touching and melancholy procession
arrived, and as far as could perceive turned
alarm into rage.
The hum of an approaching multitude
coming from tI,e Boulevard DIES Capucincs
WAS heard, and a low song Of DEATH
Mourn pour la pa trie,' was chanted by
the thrOng instead of the victorious Mar
settles. Mingled with this awful and i'm
posing chorus, the noise of which could bo
heard, a large body Of the people slowly
.
Behind them came an open cart surrounded
by torch-bcarcrs. The light was strong,
and / discovered four or five dead bodies,
partly undresscd, which appeared TO have
been carefully arranged in the cart.
1 W hen the head of the column reached
the corner of the Rue IHpclleter, the song
was ehanlod to a burst of fury, which will
not soon be forgotten by those who heard Il.
The procession halted at the office Of tho
NalioEei, and the whole party burS! into Il
unanimous cry of vengeance! You know
how s0nOr0us is that word when prOnoun-
ccd in French. The dead bodies in the
cart were those Of the men who fell under
die fire Of the soldiers above mentioned.
This event is dcporable. I.may posi-
BY change the issue Of the whole affair.
The night was anawiul one. The noise
of workmcn appeared to break on the still
ness. iIavng heard similar one in 1880.
l guessed what was GONG on. BarrIcadcs
one immensely stTOng at the end of the
Rue Rcheu, were in progress of construc~
GiUn. This has continued to this moment
half past ten. Every tree on the whole
line OF the Boulevard has been fclled.-
Every one of those superb lamp-posts have
been thrown down, and al converted into
barricadcs.
At the corner Of every street is a barri-
cadc--gen,Icmen, shop-ksepers, clerks, and
workmen, al laborng at the work with an
caeerncss and earncsmess beyond descrp-
lion.
Atl2 O'Clock VI. Odil6n Barrot, accom-
panied b. Gen. Lamorlcicre, repaired from
the Chamber of Deputies to tile Ministry
of the Interior, where he was formally i'll
stalled, in the presence of the National
Guard and a multitude of citizens, who
filled the court. Shortly afterwards tbs
following proclamation vas posted on the
gate. amids universal acclamation -

command Of the National Guard Of the
