Details of the lnSurrectiOn and hOrri.
BILE Slaughter in Paris.

One of the bloodiest dramas which the his
tory of France has ever had to record, has
been enacted in the streets of Paris.
After four days and nights of incessant
fighting, the insurgents were utterly van
quished, with an estimated loss of 10000
killed and 25, 900 wounded.
The rebellion appears to have been conf
menced by deputation Of Ouvriers, who wal
ted upon M. Marie at the Luxembourg. He
listened to their grievances, and observing
that their spokesman had been active in the
affair of the 18th Of May, said TO the men -
"Ho GU are not the slaves of this man; you can
state your W grievances" This express
sion was distorted amongst the workmen,
that M. Marie had called them slaves, and it
seems to have been the signal for the couspi-
rators, who had organized a vast movement,
TO commence their operations. On Thursday
night, the 22d of June, the first barricades
were raised, and the troops and the National
Guards called out. On Friday, 23d, the in
surgents possessed themselves of all that
portion of the right bank of the River Saline,
stretching from the faubourg 81. .antoine to
the river whilst on the left bank they occu-
pied all that portion called the Cite, the fau-
bourg 81. Marcel, 81. Victor, and the lower
quarter of 81. JagueS.
On Friday there were partial conflicts, but
the insurgents seemed to be occupied more
at fortifying their positions than in actually
fighting but whatever success the govern
ment troops may have had in various quar-
ters where conflicts took place, as at st. Den
mis- and ST. Martin, it now appears that the
enthusiastic courage of the insurgents repul-
sed them, and even beat them in other parts
Of the city. M. Lamartine rode with the
staff of Cavaignac through Paris, to quell the
instruction; but it was evident that nothing
but the power Of arms could compel the in.
surgents to yield. The government forces
were divided into three divisions, and large
masses Of noops were brought to bear with
artillery upon the positions of the insurgents;
but still Friday passed, and the instruction
had evidently gathered strength.
On Saturday, the eth, the National AS

The aspect of the chamber on "Wednesday,
it is said, was mournful scarcely more than
four or five ladies' were In be seer. Many OF
the members have lost friends, relatives or
acquaintances. No business was transacted
nm the Bourse. The barbados before the
Assembly were all removed. II is believed
that the state Of siege will he prolonged some
days to facilitate domiciliary visits, and The
disarming Of the national guards who were
not on duty during the recent events.
The prisoners taken among the insurgents
are 1000, who are deposited in the vaults
and dungeons under. the Tuileries, the Lou
vre, the Palais Royal. the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. the Hotel de Vile, and in the various
prisons.
The total number killed, we are inclined
TO believe, after comparing both Ptench and
English accounts, does not exceed five thou
sand. The truth cannot he known for weeks.
The wounded are from six to seven thousand.

deposited in various places, to make a pretty
decent beginning for a monument, if they
were but collected together.
