One Of the strongest charges against Louis
Blanc is the evidence of Colonel Watrn, who
declares that he saw Louis Blanc at the Hotel

endeavor to prove that Col. Watrin was not at
the Hotel de Vile himself on the day.
The most serious imputations against M. LIE.

Report says another insurrecton took place
at Warsaw on the 18th. Part Of the troops
participated in it. The outbreak was put down
after the town had been bombarded five hours.
The correspondent of the Kolner Zeitung pre-.
sumes that this movement was connected with
a late insurrection at ST. Petersbugh. The
Russian authorities are stated 10 have received
inlormation of the plot, and the consplrators
were thus scared into hasty and consequently
unsuccessful outbreak at Warsaw, for it was
their original plan to strike the first blow in the

THE OCEAN MONARCH BURNT AT
SEA.
LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES.
Never, in our experience as journalists, has it
been our lot to record more painful or melan.
choly catastrophe than the complete destruction
of the Boston packet ship Ocean Monarch.
Capt. Murdoch. which took place off the por,
of Liverpool on Thursday last. That noble
ship has become prey TO fire, and an awful
sacrifice Of human life has taken place.
We have waited upon Capt. Murdoch, and
from him we have the following
30 OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The Ocean Monarch, 1900 tons burthen,
left the Mersey earIy on Thursday, with about
$50 souls on board, including the crew and pas
sengers.5 We discharged the pilot about 8
O'Clock. No incident worthy of note occurred
until we arrived off the Ormsbead, at which
time it was nearly l2 o'clock. Orders were
given to tack ship and while hauling the main
yard it was stated that one of the Storage pas.
sengers had made fire in one of the ventators
without reflection. Immediately sent the stew
ard and another man to extinguish the fire and
bringup the delinquent who had made it. I'm.
mediately after this one of the cabin passengers
came on deck and stated that the cabin was full
of SIN ote, which was coming from below. On
hearing this ran donwn to ascertain the posi-.
lion of affairs, and found that the ship was actu.
ally on fire. then hurried back to the deck
and gave orders to have water poured upon it,
and directed that the ship should be kept before
the wind in order to lessen the draft, but the
flames with rush as almost instantaneous as
lightning, burst forth, and in less than five min.
utes the whole stern of the ship was completely
enveloped in the fiery element. then gave
orders to have the ship brought to the wind.
All was now scene of utmost conflson noise
and disorder. My orders could not be heard
Despair had seized almost every soul on board.
The scene which presented itself was most
awful to contemplate, much less to look upon.
