TclegraplAic Dispatches
Arrival Of the Niagara!
TERRIBLE FIGHT IN PARIS.
FOR THE REPUBLICAN.
BosToN. July u.

The Cunard steamer Niagara arrived yesterday
with one weeks later intelligence from Europe.
The news from Paris is OF the most startling
character There had been terrific riot at Paris
which lasted four days. The government finally
trumphed. The loss OF life was immense,
amounting to between eight and ten thousand per.
sons, among them were six deputies, fourteen gen.
eral officers, and an arch. bishop.
The difficulty commenced in misinterpreta>
ton on The part Of the Mayor Of the interview
with the deputaton on Thursday night. Barri>
cades were erected and the National Guard were
called out The insurgents occupied position
in the laubourg ST. Antoine, and threatened, the
Hotel de Vile. On Friday the fighting still con.
tnued, and the insurgents had trumphed.
Lamsrtine rode through the streets with Gen.
Cavaignac and staff. Artillery was freely used,
but at nght,lall the insurgents had gained both
in strength and ground. On Saturday, the Ma.
tional Assembly declared itself in permanent ses.
sion. The members OF the Provisional Govern.
ment resigned their several trusts and the su.
preme power was vested in Gen. Cavaignac, who
forthwith declared Paris TO be in state OF siege.
The fighting lasted during the whole day. except
a temporary cessation during the severe thunder
storm. The night presented an awful scene:
troops were pouring in from all the departments,
and the conflict became desperate. On Sunday,
the President Of the Assembly announced, that
after frightful loss OF life the Government had
succeeded in completely queling the riot on the
left side Of Paris. and that Gen. Cavaignac had
given those on the right side until ten o'clock to
surrender; nevertheless the fighting continued all
day, with fearful destruction OF life. On Mon
day, General Lamorciere arrived with reinforce>
ments, when, after ten hours OF terrific and inces.
SAINT slaughter, the troops were victorious. the in>
surgens being either slain, captured, or scattered.
On Tuesday. all was comparatively quiet.
The Archbishop Of Paris, in endeavorng to
restore ORDER was shot, over 5000 persons were
taken prisoners, and board of commissioners
has been appointed to try all those taken in arms.
The insurgents and especially the women, treated
ting off their hands and feet and torturing them
conceded that the republic owes its salvation to
the bravery and GOODNESS Of Gen. Lamoriciere.
The troops all embraced him with shouts OF
"Vive la Republique."
Nearly all Of the prisoners taken had more or
less gold about their persons. Assassinations
frequently occur in the disconnected quarters OF
the city by poison and by secret murders. On
the persen Of one Of the insurgents was found
written in pencil draft Of the decree which it
was proposed to issue had the Instruction been
successful. Article provides that all citizens,
who at present pay over two hundred francs taxes
shall be deprived Of all civil and political rights
for the space Of ten years. Article provides
that all property belonging to any person who
shall have exercised any public function since
1915 shall be confiscated BY article the con
stution OF 1893 and ga was 10 be re.estahlished.
The army was 10 be disbanded
Over forty thousand were engaged in the con>
hict on the part OF the insurgents alone.
The estimates Of the killed, it is found, differ
very widely, it will probably amount counting
the loss on both sides, to Is, 900 persons.
Several changes have taken place in the Min.
istry. Basteds takes charge OF the Bureau OF
Military, and Bedan, Of Foreign Affairs. Marie
is recommended strongly for President. Admiral
LIE Blanc refused seat in the new ministry,
which was rendered to him.
Austria.
We learn that Vcenza has been returned 10
the Aus,rians. Padua has capulaed to them,
and an imperial army is now blockading Trste.
The Lombards had been defeated near Verona.
1t is rumored that an Austrian army had been
ordered 10 invade Russia.
Miscellaneous.
The English Ministry had majority OF Is on
the sugar question. Matters are quiet here. All
tumaltuous assemblages Of the working classes
had subsidized.
There had been commenced in Spain formi.
dabe movement in favor OF Don Carlos.
Little doubt remains but that there is an i'm.
mense Russian army marching on Poland to
guell the disturbances which the Polish patriots
have caused, in struggling for liberty
There exists now every prospect Of speedy
termination of the war between Denmark and the
two German Dutchies of Schleswig and Holsten
A new constitution for the two Dutchies had been
drawn up, which will be adopted, it is thought.
The rebellious disposition which has been man.
i(ested in Greece, has been completely quelled.
The Danes continued making reprisals on
Prussia by sea. The departments in France,
generally speaking, were tranquil. In Ireland
the armed movement continues undated, and
thousands daily flock to the clubs. The Govern
ment has thus far been unable to devise any
means of checking this. The League has not
yet been formed, but the consummalion OF the
plan is daily looked for. The physical force
movement has heen postponed until autumn.
