lARIS, JuHc ~.
A great many shops remain closed The
mark OF death IS everywhere. In my letter
olthis morning you had return OF woun-
ded lying in hospitals but TO that return
ought to be added all who are in the diff.
ercnt ambulanccs, of which no return is
made, as well as those i'll their own houses.
There are according II the most moderate
estimates 10000 dead, and perhaps double
that number wounded. | take this as the
iO'ceSt estimate have heard and you must
bear III mind that so far from eXaggerating
these accounts, the general wish is to miti-
gate them, IN order TO suppress the spirit of
vengeance which is ready to break out A
great number OF insurgents were shot to
day III different places. The belief is that
1000 have been disposed of summarily.-
Many must have fallen sacrifices to the rage
of the soldiery while entering the houses for
the purposes Of opening a passage within
from one 10 another.
1t is now said tho capture of the Fanbourg
st. Antoine was owing to the same which
the insurgents had laid for the soldiers. 1t
was their intention to have allowed a num-
Der to enter and get rntaged in the streets,
and then Ia have sacrificed thcm-but the
soldiers when they GOT u footing were too
prompt for their adve 'saries, and made so
good use Of the advantages offered that the
insurgents became panic struck, and made a
virtue of necessity. Considerable arrests
were made To day on the Bois de Bouloguc
Of concealed insurgents. The city is sur
rounded by bad villages. There is one near
the bridge Of NouIIy, called Putcaux, little
manufacturing town, which is a nest of Com
munsts, What now is to be done with the
wOrkmcn! The question is fearful. All
business is suspendcd-all manufacturing
over. Gcncral Cavignac, it is said, is too
lcnicnt in his views towards this class after
their conduct. | think not These men
cannot be allowed to be driven TO despera-
uon by fear, vengeance, or selhshness; they
must be sustained, at the peril of being turn
cd into the enemies OF society. Cavalgnac
is described as being too miId--a good
quality, in a moment when sipulants are
not wanting. Mild as he is, the determi-
nation Oh his part to lay down his authority
cause Il pane this morning.
The people are crowdlng to the scenes Of
tho late combat. have Just visited the
church Of ST Scvcria, the head quarters Of
The insurgents, and it would have been I'M
possible 10 have selected better point
This church it at the end Of the Rue ST. ia
qucs and the Ruede la llarpe. These two
streets are steep and narrow, ascending TO-
wards the Pantheon. The church is tam
gIed web of IlSle narrow deGles, and of
which were barricadcd.
A row of houses, cut by narrow pass
called the Rue de Ia Ilachrtte, projected the
church on the quay side, beginning at the
Pont ST. MatchaaI, and ending al little
hedge leading to the Hotel Deu. The po-
siliOn was one IF immense strength, and the
slaughter here was terrible. In fact tho
less on the side of the National Guards and
military may be estimated by the fact, that
there are seventeen generals wounded and
four Killed. There were 1900 buried yes
terday.
And the furniture carts and Wagons arc
engaged bearing away dead bodies, or car
rying away the enormous quantities OF arms
seized Amongst tbs. arms are greatnum-
Der Of air guns, which it is supposed were
used for assassination from wlnd9wr-
Gun cotton was found IN immense quanti-
ties, e.
