.4n interesting letter from Peier PavIsy.
 The Boston Courier contains | long letter from 8. G. Goodrich, better known as "peter Parey," giv-
 ing detail account of the late revelation ia France We are only able to make room fer the concluding portion of this interesting and ably written letter
 We must now turn our attention towards another scene--ihe Chamber of Deputies This body met at the usual hour Tuesday, at I2 o'clock. w hle the riotous scenes we have described were taking place during that day, in fult view of the place where they had assembled. the Deputies. as if in mockery of the agltstion wlthont were occupied in languid diseussion upon the affairs of broken country bank. Towards the close of the sitting, Odil!on Barrot read from the tribune solemn act of impeachment of the ministers. The next day "Wednesday the Chambers again met, and Guizot in the afternoon announced that Count Mole was attempting 10 form new ministry. lt does not ap- pear that Guizot or his colleagues, were sfterwads seen in the Chambers. It is said that they met at the house of Duchatel on Thursday morning, and, after consultation, adopted the significant motto or Napoleon after the battle ot Waterloo: Saure qsi peut!' (Save himse who can.) lam happy to add. that the fugtves seem to have made good their escape It is said tha. Soult disdaining to fly, re- maias at his house. need not say thai he will not be molested for there IS no sanguinary feeling to- ward any one, and Napoleon sold favorite the vic tor in many battles, would more readily find Parisan popuiace to protect than to injure him. The moment after the King and Queen had pass ed the Place de la Concerde, changed to be there. In a few moments OdiiioR Barrot appeared from the gate of the laleiies, and, followed by tong train Of persons, proceeded to the Gambler oi Depu ties. It was BOW understood that the King had ab- dicated and that Thisrs and Barroi to propose the Count de Pais as king, under the regency of his mother. the Duchess of Orleans. The most pre- found emotion seemed to occupy the immense nut titude. All wore hnshed into silence by the rapid succession of astonishing events. After a short space, the Duchess of Orleans. with her two sons, the Count de Paris and tie Due dc Chsrtres, were seen on foot coming, her face bent 10 the ground, encircied by strong escort. She moved building, entered the Chamber through the gardens. Shortly after this, the Due de Nemours, attended by several gentlemen on ho eback, rode up, and also entered tho building.
 The scene that ensued within s said to have pre- sented an extraordinary mixture of the solemn and the ludicrous. The duchess being present, o. Bar rot proceeded to state the abdcation of the King, and to propose the regency. IL was then that La maritime seemed to shake of the poet and the philo sopher, and suddenly to become man of actlon.- Seizing the critical moment, he declared his convic- ton that the daysof monarchy were numbered; that the proposed regency was not suited to the crisis; and that republic alone would meet the emergen- cies and the wishes of France. These opinions hap pily expressed and strenuousy enfoIcet, became de- clsye in their egect.
 Seversl other speeches were made, and scene of great confusion followed. A considerable number of the mob had bEoken into the room, and occupied the galleries and the floor. One of them brought his 6Geiock to his shoulder, and took aim at M Saa get, the President He sbdieatsd with great speed, and disappeared. In the midst of the hubbub, pro- visonal government was announced, and the lead ing members named. Some of the more obnoxious deputies were aimed at by the mob; and, skulking behind benches and pillars, cozed out at the back door. A blouse man came up 10 the Duke of Ne- mours, who drew his sword. The ospyier took tt from him. broke Il over his knee, and counseed his highness to depart. This he did forthwith having borrowed coat and hat for the purpose of disguise A call was made for the members of the provisional government to proceed 10 the Hotel de Vile. The assembly broke up. The last sitting O. the Cham Der of Deputies was closed.
 It was about o'clock in the afternoon that re- traced my steps towards the TuilieIiss. The Place de la Concorde crowded with soldiers, and hity cannon were ranged in front of the gardens Yet this mighty force seemed struck with paraly sis.- Long lines sf infantry stood mute and motioaless. and heavy nasses Of cavslry seemed converted into % many statues. Ilnmediately before the eye of these soldiers the palace of the Tueries iH fnl possession of the mob, but not muscle moved for iheir expulsion. Passing inio the gardens. per ceived that thousands of persoas were spread over their surface. and ratiIing discharge of 6ie-arns heard on all sides. Looking sboat for the cause of this, perceived that hundreds of men and boys were amusing themselves with shooting sparrows and pigeons, which had hitherto found secure res iingpscs in the favore resort of leisure and tux. uFy. Others were discharging their muskes, Tor the mere fun of making noise Proceeding through the gardens, 1 came at last 10 the palace. It had not been for more than an houf in full Possf salon f tho insurgents All description fails to depict a scene like this. The whole front of the TulieTiss. one-tenth of mis to length. seemed gushing. at doors. windows, balconies and galleries. within liv- ing multiiades-a mighty beehive of men. ia tns very ae, of swarming. A confused huobnb shiied the air and bswildsIed the ssnsss by its chaotic soundsL
 At the moment arrived, the throne of the King was borne away by jubiiant band 0. jewellers and after being paraded through the streets was burned at the Palace de Ia Baslile-a significant episode n this tale of wonders. The colossal slstae es SParaa- cns which faces the main door of the palace toward the gardens. was now decorated with piece of gilt cloth torn fom the throne, and wreatiei like tar- ban around his head. In his hand vas gorgeous bouquet of afifcial flowers. It seemed as fl the fowning gladiator had suddenly caught the spirit ot the geve, and was about to descerd from his pedes- tai and mingle in tho masquerade.
