In the handsome saloon called that of Louis XIV

king, we saw, on Tuesday at four O'Clock, four dead
bodies lying on the ground they the bodies Of two
National Guards and Of two insurgents The head Of

the first finger of his left hand very fine ring his

two collins, which contain the embalmed bodies
Of NJ Napoleon Gentil lieutenant in the Ma

fronts the garden is full OF bloody mattresses and
linen. In another room found six dead bodies
three of which have been embalmed by NJ. G. aune
Among them is the body of NJ Durriere Commander of
the National Guard of Cambray His death is unfor-
tuDately too true though centrsdcte by journal of

time to have the bodies removed for most fetid smell

Tuesday, expired an hour after the operato and the
physicians fear they will lose great number of the
wounded trusted to their care.

We arrive at the different wards; we have but to

The young Gardes Mobiles in n great majority.
In one of the wards we saw of them who had a
when in the act Of carrying off flag upon barrcade.
Wrapped up in his fag full Of ardor and of courage,
he asked us if We did not think he could return
to his comrades M Jobert replied that before long he
should go himself and receive the reward he so well
deserved.
Not far from him is another Mobile Guard who has
received one ball in his groin and another in his
shoulder; prey to the most violent delirium, he
thinks he is still on the barricades sezes his pillow
which he imagines to be insurgent and strives to
master 1T.
Another Mobile Guard has been brought to this hos.
pita deprived of sight and hearing He suffers great
ly, especially when his eyelids are lifted up. This
strange nervous effect has been occasioned by the
comnotion of the cannon.
The honorable represe of the people Dornes
is much better. He is very weak, and NJ. Jobert de
Lambale who is in hopes he will be long restored
to health. recommends the most complete rapose.
In the ward next to that of NJ Dornes is a captain
of the National Guard under arrest he is wounded
in the arm, and modification is coming on. NJ Jo-
bert told him that he did not think it possible save
his life, unless his cut off The patient re-

wounded as he sprang foremost upon barrcade, and
in the act OF snaching their coors from the hands of
the insurgents, captain of the regime Mt who
is less seriously wounded than his superior GER is
placed near him. Then come two sappers of the line
wbo by very extraordinary sngularity have received
precisely similar wounds.
1t is to be remarked that almost all the wounded of
the line, who at st. Louis susoficers, who
doubtless exposed themselves the most and who were
most violently attacked by the insurgen ts hoping the
soldiers would remain without orders There are also
several National Guards. We remarked with pleasure,
that the greater part of the wounds what NJ do
Jobert calls borenes The balls lodged in the groin in
the articulations have seldom touched the arteries
the principal sinews and yet the angular form of the
projectiles should have rendered them mortal.
The most hideous wound is that of insurgent. A
ball has carried off part Of his jaw he remains with
his mouth open and his looks haggsrd.
The ward OF the dead Is full Of the unfortunate who
have already expired We remarked the body OF NJ
Fereol, chef de bataon of the 9th line, and that of a
chef de battalion of the Mobile Guard of Montmo-
repcy.
Among the episodes which have marked the attack
of the clos ST. Lasare which lasted 20 hours,
mention the defence, of the barrier Poisonnere by
the I'd battalion of the Sd legion on Saturday last
was at O'Clock that, supported by battery of
tillery five companies of this battalion arrived be-
barricade within the barrier Two shots drove
the besegers back after which the first legion sprang
forward with such precipitation, notwithstand the
fire of the enemy that the battery left behind and
paraIyzed.
A most noble example set by the officers of the
9th company, which the first to arrive at the bar
