beyond doubt; and, therefore, the kingdom of

provinces now occupied by the Austrans and incor-

fronterthose for instance, of Tyrol Istra and Dali
matia-he will find himself master of half the Italian
territory containing nearly thirds of the popua
ton, and capable Of raising army of three four
hundred thousand men. Seldom has man had more TO

From the London Herald June rs
AS we had hoped, anticipated, and predicted, the
insurrec,ion, commencing on the 23d June, and
| earned on with bravery, an Obstinacy, and skill
worthy of better cause, has been wholly and en-
| tlrey suppressed by the bravery and devotion of
| the amy and the National Guard, and the pre-
eminent skill and ugor of that young soldier,
| who, though man of birth and family, is a repu-
bhcan OF an old date, and one, too, who has sui
tered both In his person and in his proession for
| his sincere adhesion to his opnlons-we need
| scarcely say we al lude to General LOUIS Egene

brother OF the famous God-froi Cavaignac, the
! former president of the Societe des Droits de
PHomme. Followed by that army of which he is
the idol and the prde-for he shared their dangers
and won every grade on the field of battle-the
Minister of War, and the absolute Dictator of
three days, showed himself not merely an able
and accomplished, but a determined and vigo-
| rous soldier; and TO his mastery combinations
| still more to the vlgour and energy with which
| they were brought to bear on the mad and mis-
| guided insurgents-it is, under Heaven, owing
that Paris Is not now given up to the pillage
| and the plumber OF ferOclous communists and
bonnetS r0uges of the Banqui and the Barbes
| school. Never at any period of their history,
either In domestic lnsurrection or foreign war, had
| the regular French army to undergo such horrors
as In this most recent and most deplorabe outbreak
OF the 23d June. In foreign war, sleges and bat
ties are cond by operations precise, regular,
and the result OF military science and combination.
On such occasions, too, the combatants are sus-
tanned and comOred by the ennobling recollecti0ns
OF country and OF independence. They fight tor
their hearths or their homes to defend their soil,
their institutions, or their independence, against
unjust invasion and tyrannous aggression. But In
civil struggles and contests, these patriotic lnce
| ments are always wanting. Citizen is armed
| against citizen, and children of common cOun.

the same capital, protected by the same laws, and
| living under the same government-are under such
sad circumstances brought into hostile collision.
Party and political, and factious rancour, are on
such occasions superadded IT, the usual horrors of
war, and this is the reason why of all contests civil
| connections are the most horrible, sanguinary, and
| nernecine Our own civil wars were not uL-
| marked by cruelties rarely exercised against TO-
reign enemy; and the civil wars of France numerous
and oft-recurrng, have been stained by atrocities
| which seemed TO have attained their acme-such
atrocities could not be well surpassed--durng the
progress of the revolution OF 1859. In later times,
| il to prove the theory we PROFOUND, the civil
| war in Spain has been marked by bloodthlrsti-
ness and cruelty even unusual amidst that wholly

admitted the horrors of English, of former French,
and even of Spanish civil wars, have been exceed

sanguinary slaughter of June, lSiS To the rash
bravery of the Gaul was added Ibcrian feroclty,
and that logged and desperate determination
that uDyielding tenaciy and stern steady power OF
resistance, which have hitherto peculiarly distln-
gaished the sons of Britain. No wonder, then,
| that the French regular army severely suffered
and was sorey tried Tor neither in foreign battles
nor In foreign sieges had 1t ever been exposed to

you choose your ground, or, at least, select 1t in
position in which you can form freely, protecting
as far as possible both front and flank; but in the
narrow streets Of Paris the regular troops were
assailed from before and behind, from windows
and porfes coche,es from behind barbados, from
| the tops OF houses, and under the cover Of walls.
| Every deeterious substance and every deadly mis-
slle was hurled against the regular forces. Boil
Ing oil and boiling turpentine, implements UNI
known in regular warfare, were had recourse to;
and mutations the most horrible were the lot
of those who had the misfortune to be captured
