ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
THE NEWS FROM EUROPE!
Progress of the Revolutions.

PARIS, Wednesday, 2 o'clock.
After despatched my letters last evening,
events OF greater importance occurred than had
taken place up TO post hour. lnseveral streets
running into the Rue ST. Denis and the Rue ST.
Martin, the people erected barbados, by tear
ing up the paving stones, Selling carts, omnl-
buses, &c. Most of these barbados were
soon carried by the municipal guards and
troops; but at some of them severe engagements
took place, Notwithstanding the people Were
almost entirely unarmed. The markets. the
Place de la Concorde, the Place du Carrousal,
the Bouvelards. the Rue ST. Honore, and an
immense number of other streets and places
were occupied by the troops-in fact, the whole
of Paris was occupied as if civil war had been
everywhere raging The troops remained with
their arms in their hands all night. Asl turn
ed into the Rue ST. Denis, the Dragons who
were Stationed by the Porte, received orders to
charge. and saw them gallop down the street
at rapid rate; with their drawn swords gleam-
ing in the sun. At the same moment detach-
menls OF light dragons and infantry Fastened
after them. From that it was clear that addi-
tional assistance was required against the people
in that quarter.
On leaving the Rue ST. Denis. saw vast
multitude approaching, headed by red flag.
From the haste with which they advanced it
y
military. About an hour ago | observed artil-
lery advancing towards the Bouvelards, with
the object, no doubt, of being directed on the
Rue St. Martin and that neighborhood The
Rue st. Honore is occupied with an immense
crowd. The garden of the Palais ROYAL is clos
ed. All the passages are also closed and occu-
pied with troops You would find it difficult
to conceive the mournful attitude of this gay
city at this moment Shops closed every
where-soldiers everywhere-alarm and anx
iety among all classes. Not single omnibus
to be seen; not carriage; not cart; only
few back cabs. Here and there vehicles over
thrown-the pavement turned up-gas-lamps
smashed and the remains of wanton destruc-
ton frequently visible.
Great numbers of fresh troops have been
marched INTO Paris this morning, from the
towns and garrisons within reach Of the cap
ital.
In some streets the populace have destroyed
the electric telegraph.
The national guard, though the rappel was
frequently beaten last evening, scarcely turned
out al all. In several places, it is said, that
scarcely three persons in whole company an
severed the rappeL This morning the rdppcl
has been again beaten with like result. In
the districts where the national guards did as
semble thew cried give la Reformed and sung
the Mar8eillaise.
Three OClock-The Guizot ministry has
resigned. A deputation OF the officers of the
national guard went to the Tuilleries to de-
mand that it should be dismissed, when they
were told by General Jaequeminot, command
ing the national guard, that the ministry had
given in its resignation.
The red aspect of the sky in the direction of
Mont Valerein showed that an incendiary fire
was raging there.
Four 0CIock-The intelligence of the re-
signation of the ministry is spreading like wild
fire through the city; and is everywhere recelv-
ed with every demonstration OF joy. At this
moment there is an immense crowd on the
Bouvelard, shouting ''vive la reforme.' A
General exclaimed: You shall have reform"
And the dismissal of the ministry cried the
people. s.Their dismissal and accusation, and
every thing" was the answer. and it was receiv
ed with shouts of applause.
The fighting in the quarter of ST. Martin
still continues; the troops are proceeding TO it.
When, however they shall learn the overthrow
of the Ministry, it is believed that hostilities
will immediately cease.
In passing the bank, just now, saw the mob
had got possession of the guard-house at the
corner. They had torn down the flag, and a
fellow hoisted it On large pole. There were
then shouts Of ITO the Tuilleries! to the Tuil-
leries!'
/ Fresh troops are being ordered to Paris. The
regiment of carbineers. in garrison at Provins,
are expected momentarily. At Clichy, the. in
habitants have been told to prepare for the re-
ception of troops.
During last night the barbados of yesterday
morning were removed However, this morn
ing, large numbers of the populace Were under
arms, and rebuilding the barbados. The streets
+ fSt. Denis. st. Martin, Rambuteau, ST. San
vier de Gravillers, and all the narrow streets
adjoining, have been barricaded, and so well
defended. that up to IL o'clock, the troops had
failed in their attempts to take possession oil
them The municipal guard were repulsed &c
the Rue Moutorquoil by the firing of the pop
ulace. The garrison of 10000 troops are all
EN- ployed to guard the innumerable avenues &c
the Place Gerard. Many of the regiments are
overcome with fatigue. The council OF minis
tiers and crowd OF Parliamentary dignat aries
have taken refuge in the chateau. Fresh
troops are expected every moment BY rail
way.
HaIfpdst Four.-All government officials
have been ordered to place themselves under
arms as national guards. The troops of the line
have been provided with hatchets to cut down
the barbados. The I'd, 18th, and 9Th legions
of the national guard have mustered strongly

The revolt now appears to be concentrated IN
the ST. Denis, and st. Martin quarters, where {
sharp fire is kept up between the insurgent:
and the municipal guard. 1t is rumored tina
the artillery is directed to destroy the barrl
cade, and that cannon has been fred in tht
streets.
In the chamber of Deputies to-day:
NJ. Vavin. the deputy of the Ilth arrondize
ment of Paris, rose, and, in the name of him
self, and the other deputies for Paris. addressed
some questions to the minister of the interior

the chamber, Immediately rose and said: 9:
