Mobile and Guards from the country, relieving
the National Guards, many Of them, from duty to-
night. There is no language that can do justice to
the noble manner in which the Guards from one
hundred and fifty miles round Paris have come to
the rescue The Guards Mobile have been on duty
four days and three nights, and slept only their
arms. Fighting has generally continued till or
two O'Clock at night, and commenced at O'Clock in
the morning. Great numbers of houses have been
beaten down by the cannon, to expel the nsurgents
and among the number, the beautiful Pantheon, per-
haps the second third building in the world for
beauty and gran eur, has been dreadfuily defaced,
its pillars detroyed and would have been imne-
datey blown up had not the insur gents 1900 strong
consen ted to have surrendered upon being assured
what would be their fate The insurgents have fought
more like furies an. devils than like aud the
amount of labor that has been performed, in making

have had short living and little rest do not believe
the history Of the world affords ny example of such
a desperate and continued contest by such immense
bodies Of men.
JUNE 81 O'clock, A. M.-This morning looks bet
terbut yet woully gloomy We feel assured that the
crisis is approaching term naton-that the insur-
gents driven further and further from and that
their means are becoming more straightforward and
their numbers are diminishing. But the city is yet in
a state of s.ige, and exists; and all the rules
which have been awfully put In operation, and so
well enforced, are yet in existence;-we live in for
tifcation; under military law; and restrained in all
privileges OF going abroad, or even walking beyond
The squares in which live. But the generde did
not beat this mornings and the countenances of peo-
pie have undergone favorable change; we have
cheerful talking in the streets; the carts are
moving in limited numb rs-a few papers are permit
ted circulate; loads of provisions making
have ceased to stand at their DOORS and upon the side

their anguish, and yet indicative Of rmness, to
restrain any lame tations have seen but cry

Some of the slightly wounded walking about the

limbs Of those who have fallen. But to-day will finish
the work of reducing the insurgents to submission.
The force is so immense against them, and driven as
they from every part Of the city-except certain
circle at the eastern extremity upon this the north
side of the rver-it will be impossible for them to hold
out with much force after to-day All the south side
of the river has been carried; and nothing remains
there, but to guard the ground gained-and unless
this the troops have moved against them, in i'm
mensely strong columns. All the troops from the
country are still actively engaged and others are COM

The Archbishop, who went yesterday upon an er-

insurgents, unfortunately very badly shot in the
throat He caused the drums to beat for silence

bishop fell covered with his blood The insur-
gents protest that the shots did from their
ranks, and have furnished certificates to that effect;
but it is probably altogether accidental, and equally
uncertain from whence the accident proceeded.

Following this, is the declaration of Gen. Cavaignac
that he has but one word" unconditional subms-
sion" The frmness Of Gen. Cavaignac and his old
officers, in war, under his command and the noble
bearing Of the President of the Assembly, in contro
ing that disorderly body and holding their mouths
closed in such crisis are worthy of all commenda-
ton. Perhaps greater ndency possess
ed over body of legislators, than this remarkable
presiding officer has acquired and preserved the
Chamber. 1t was necessary to silence this body
the press, during the military operations and to dis
regard the miserable course of olcousness and folly
on the part of many Of the members. The two
bers that got themselves among the insurgents, and
procured the above letter said yet to be there
do not find their return easy they anticipated
IT may be Inference and rumor but they had not got
back last night.
A great number of propositions have been made for
terms by the insurgents portion of them but in
no very authentic way and the President of the AS
semby has announced to that body that General Ca
vaignac has not thought ii worth while to disturb the
plan of his military operations to take them into con-
sideratiou. Unconditional surrender is his only
answer and he gives notice of his intention to attack
at given hour the strong holds, and time to
DER beforehand If they desire it, This the true po
sition 1t is time that there should be longer any
half way measures, tamperng with treason in Paris
Two committees were raised-one to examine into
the events which have led to this Instruction
and another into those which led to that the 18th
Of May. There will now be thorough work and If the
old Executive are implicated in either any else
all will find IL difficult to sbun the responsibility at

army and guards, and all the people and in the Pres
