Details Of the French Rebellion.


witnessed, one Of the most f|erocious and OBJ
%stinate instructions which the ensanguined
history Of France has to record from it's ear
r liest annals, has just been brought TO a close
in the streets Of Paris by the absolute annihi-
lation of the revOlted patty, and triumphant
success Of republican arms.
To furnish any adequate idea Of this occur
renee would immeasurably surpass our lin
it's, and we, therefore, refer to the newspaper
accounts, which, doubtless, will be perused
with feelings Of the profoundest solemnity.
After four days incessant fighting, the insur-
gents have been utterly vanquished, with a
loss on both sides Of 10000 killed and $4,000
wounded, which is believed to be much be-
meath The true estimate.
The commencement Of the rebellion appears
to have been made by a deputation Of O%uvriers
who waited upon M. Marc at the Luxembourg.
He listened to their grievances, but observed
that their spokesman had been actively engaged
in the affair Of The 18th May, said to the men,
" you are not :he slaves of that man you
can state your own grievances :" This ex-
preston was distorted amongst the workmen
that M. Marc had called them slaves, and it
seems to have been the signal for the con-
s%PiTatOrs, who had originated a vast movement
TO commence their operations.
On Thursday night, the 22d of June; the
first barricade was raised, and the troops in
The National Guards called out. On Friday
the 23d, the insurgents possessed themselves
Of the right bank Of the river Seine, stretch
ing from the Fauborg ST. Antoine to the river;
whilst on the left bank they occupied all that
portion called the Cite, Faubourg ST. Marcel
St.Victor, and the lower quarter Of 81. JAG
ques. The communication Of the insurgents
between the two banks Of the river were
maintained BY the possession Of the Church
81. Gervaie, q part Of the quarter Of the tenn.
pie the appearance Of Notre Dame and the
bridge of St. Michael.
BY the these extensive line of operation the
insurgenst occupied a vast portion of the most
defensible partof the city, and actually threat
ened the hotel de Vile, which il they had sue
ceeded in taking might have secured. the first
victory on theirside.
On Friday there wore partial conflicts, but the
insurgents seemed to be occupied more at for
tiiyingtheir positions, than in actually fighting
but whatever success The government troops
may have had in various quarters where con.
aiCts took place was at ST. Denis and St. Martin.
ltnow opperrs that the enthusiastic courage
Of the insurgents rOpulsed them and even
beat them in other parts of the city. M. Lam.
airline rode with the staff Of Cavaignac. thro,
PARIS, to quell the instruction; but il was
evident that nothing but the poWer of arms
could compel the insurgents to yield. The
Government forces were divided into three
divisions, and large masses of troops were
brought to bear with the artillery upon the
position Of the insurgents; but still Friday
passed, and the insurgents had evidently gain
ed strength.
On Saturday. the Gath, the National Assem-
bly, declared itself in permanencs, and Paris
was placed in a state CT seige; the executive
powell wac delegated absolutely TO Cavaignac.
and at half-past 10, the members of the exc.
cutiVe had resigned They declared that thew
should have been wanting in their duties and
honor, they had withdrawn before. As sedition
in a public peril, they only withdrew before
the vote OF the Assembly-Reports poured in
every hour to the Assembly-and, as the in
telIlgence arrived Of the slaughter Of the Ma
tiOnal Guards, and the fall Of one General af-
ter another, who was killed or wounded BY the
insurgents, the sensation became deep and al
arming
Various ProclamAtions were issued by Cava-
ignac to induce the insurgents to Law down
their arms, but to no effect.
The whole Of Saturday was EMPLOYED in
desperate fighting on both sides, excepting a
lull during a fFightful thunder storm. In the
afternoon Of Friday the conflicts were without
'ntermissiOn. On Saturday, however, the car
mage and battles on the south Of the river were
horrible.
During the whole Of Friday night, and UNI
I'll ; o'clock on Saturday, the roar Of artillery
and the noise Of the muskets were incessant.
In this frightful state of things the Assembly
betrayed not a little alarm. A deputation
from the Assembly was proposed to 90 and
ensreat the combatants to cease this fripbtful
strife but all the successive reports proved that
tho insurgents were bent on only yielding
up the struggle with their lives and their val.
or was only surpassed by their desperate res
%Olution.
On Saturday night at IL O'Clock the o0pi.
tai was in an awful state. Fighting continued
with undated fury, Largo numbers Of trOOos
poured in nom all the nsighbOringdopartmentU
but still the insurgents, having rendered their
