Little loss of life Comparatively occurred. The
number Of killed estimated at only 80 or 40 This
arose from the conflict having been principally confined
to the people and the municipal guard although the SOL
diers did, in some cases, fire.
The contest was at an end at halfpast four. A
slight calm ensued, and took up position at the
corner of the Rue Lepelleter and the Boulevard des
Italens next door to the Office of the National news
paper.
About half-past seven, the Boulevard being then
crowded, there arrived column of the combatants,
many of them armed with muskets, and singing the
Mar eiHaise and the chorus of the Girondins which
| have so often mentioned. They were received with
uProarious Fluctuations by the people, and proceeded
TO the Office OF the National, which seems TO be the
organ of this formidable opposition They demanded
that the editors that their liberties were not
again played with. NJ. Marrast principal editor
of the National, harangued them from the balcony,
and assured them that their liberties would this time
be secured This scene was repeated six times dur
ing the night.
At 10 o'clock a column of 600 or 800 people of all
ranks, who had been fighting, passed up the Boule-
ward. Among them were evidently many Of the CON-
nlxnistes, and possibly, of those malefnctors
who will mix in all popular movements. The bearing
and attitude of this column terrible. The SUBJ
sequent act Of one of the party justified the apPehen
sion which their appearance suggested
Although NJ. Guizot had retired from the ministry
and guarded by troops. About 10 o'clock young
man walked up to the officer in command, and blew
his brains out with pistol Seeing him fall his SOL
ders, without orders, fired on the people, Of whom
four or five were killed.
The report Of this discharge at a moment when we
hattered ourselves that all was tolerably well over
created a painful sensation. Twenty minutes after
wards, however, most touching and melancholy
procession arrived and, as far as could perceive,
turned alarm into rage.
The buz of an approaching multitude coming from
the Boulevard des Capucines heard, and a low
song OF death, Mourn pour Ia patrie," chanted
by the throng instead of the victorious MarseiAaise.
Mingled with this awful and imposing chorus, the
noise of wheels could be heard. large body of the
people slowly advanced. Four in front carried torch
es. Behind them came an open cart, surrounded by
torch-bearers. The light strong and discovered

When the head of the column reached the corner of
the Rue Lepelletier, the song changed to burst
Of fury, which will be forgotten by those who
heard it, The procession halted at the Office of the
National, and the whole party burst into unanimous
shrek, cry of vengeance! You know how sono-
rous Is that word when pronounced in French. The
dead bodies in the cart those of the men who
fell under the fire of the soldiers above mentioned
This event is deplorable. 1t may possibly change
the issue of the affair
The night was an awful one The noise of the
workmen appeared to break on the stiffness. Having
heard similar one in $780, guessed what was go
ing on. Barricades-one immensely strong at the
end of the Rue Richelieu-were in progress of con-
struction. This has been continued up to this mo-
ment, (half past l0). Every tree on the whole line
of the Boulevard has been feed. Every one of the
superb lamp posts has been thrown down and all
verted into barbados.
At the corner of every street is a barricade-gen-
tlemen shopkeepers, clerks, workmen, all aboring al
the work with eagerness and earnesness beyond
description.
The King must go further than he has, or defend
his position to the last extremity.
At II o'clock Nj. Odillon Barrot, accompanied by
Gen. Lamorciere, repaired from The Chamber of Dep
utes to the Ministry of the Interior, where he was
formally installed in the presence of the national
guard and a multitude of citizens, who filled the
court. Shortly afterwards the following proclamation
was posted up on the gate, amidst universal acclama
tions:
"MY DEAR COMRADES have been invested By the
new cabinet with the superior command of the ma
tional guard of the department of the Seine.
"By your energetic attitude you have asserted the
triumph of liberty. You have been, and will ever be-
the defenders of order. rely upon you as you may
rely upon me. 'Your comrade,

AT o'clock the following proclamation was posted
on the walls of Paris:
"CIrIzENs OF PARIS: The King has abdicated

All the military posts on the left bank of the Sen,
were disarmed early in the morning, and occupied
partly by national guards and men Of the people. A
noon party of armed workmen, headed by pupils o
the Polytechnic school, presented themselves at thu
barrack of the firemen, in the Rue du Vieux Colon
