The Is.arreesisa I'm Paris.

The Esd, Path, 25th, and 10Th days Of June Of
the present year, ale destined 20 be memorable
40 the history Of the French people. A hateful
celebrity, like that which keeps the memory OF
81 Bartholomew day fresh in The minds OF
men, w,ll forever be associated with them. They
are among the darkest days that blacken The an
nals Of oar race; days contra distinguished from
other days by the prominence Of the CHIMES
which they witnessed.
Men are 80 accustomed 10 read OF the sad
havoc q battle fields, that ordinary accounts Of
slaughter, however terrific, fail 10 strike tn. il
hearts with honor, or even TO ruffie the smooth
current Of their feelings. Something extraordi-
nary IN the way Of bloodslled is necessary to
rouse and 10 excite them. Had ten or twenty
thOassnd men peiisbed on some battlefield
where hostile nations commended Cor victory, the
account would have been SO like hundreds Of 9th
s1s with which the minds Of all headers Of histo.
ny are familiar, that Il would moi have disturbed
their tranquility. BEt when as many men hY-

at the destruction Of such political system.
