TIE heaviest artillery had been brought % bea
uroa them. aud little doubt could be entertained
tlat the insu~. ecti0n could be put down. The hope
thus held out Of the termination Of the instruction
was not. however. realized. The fighting con-
,iuued the whole Of the Sunday with fearful loss
Of life. especially to tie Nationa. Guards. On
Monday the reiniorcements Gen. Lamo1ciere had
received from Cavaignac, enabled him 20 hem 10
the insurgents in the Eastern part Of the city, and
although reduced TO extremities they still fought
with incredible valor
Il was thought on Monday morning early, that
they would surrender. but again the hope thus held
out Of tie termination Of the Instruction was not
Immediately realized. At lOl O'Clock the hehtn
was resumed AMI it was only after 'risAtu
struggle of about two more hours that the Govern
ment troops, everywhere prevailed, md the pact
OF the insurection being broken, the insurgents
We're either shot, taken prisoners, or fled into the
country ia the direction Of Viucemes.
The eastern quarters comprising the laubprgs
81 Antoaie. du Temple Neaiim0Hant and Pc
D'agcouyf were the last s1bdued The last band
took refuye in the celebrated cemetery Of Pre- Ia
Chai,e. but the Gar4e VoJae hunted them even
from this saSctusry, AMI they were slaughtered IN
the neighboring fields.
Ou TrcsdQy The iasurreetioa ras definitely
ouelled. The loss of lite has been terrfc-no
fewer than fourteen general officers had been pa,
hers du combat a greater loss than in the most
splendid engagements Of Napoleon. Among
those who fell are Gems Megrier, Deart and Brea
Gems. Charcolnel and Benault and others severely
wounded.
Fouror five members of the National Assembly
are among the killed, and as many more wound
cd but the most touching death is that Of the Arch
bishop Of Paris. The venerable Prelste on sun
day volunteered to 20 to the insurgents as Mes
senger o. Peace. Cen Cavignac said that such a
step was lul Of danger but this Christian Pastor
persisted He advanced, attended by bis two
Wears towards the barbados with an olive
branch borne before him, when he was ruthlessly
shot 10 bis groin and fell mortaly wounded. The
venerable patient was ordered by the insurgents
10 the nearest hospital ia St. Antoine. where he
received the last sacraments langtished and has
since died.
The editor Of the Pere Dpce,hne NJ Laroohe
was shot ia the head at the baricade Rochechoart,
where Ia the dress Of an 0Hrrier he was fighting
at the head OF party Of insurgents.
Il VIII probably be never correctly ascertained
TO what exteLt the sacrifice Of human life in this
lrghtiul struggle has reached. Some compute the
loss on the side Of the troops at from 1000 to
10 900 slain, but we hope this is exaggerated.
The number Of prisoners captured Of the insur-
cents exceeds 5000, all the prisons filed as
well as the Dungeons and vaults of the Tuilerles,
the Louvre. Palais Royal, the chamber Of Depu-
ties, and the Hotei de Vile. A military commits
sion has already been appointed TO Try such as
were found with arms in their hands, and they
will probably be transported to the Marquesas Is
lands, or some trans atlantic French colony.
A decree has boon proposed with that object.
We have not space TO recount many acts of indi-
vidual herosm. Many soldiers exhibited sublime
courage On the other hand the savage cruelty
with which the insurgents waged war almost ex-
ceeds belief They tortured some Of their own
prisoners, cut off their hands and feet aud In
acted barbarities worthy Of savages The women
were hired to poison the wine sold to the SOL
ders. who drank it, reeled and died. II seems to
be believed generally that if the insurgents had
succeeded in following up their most admirably
concerted plan Of operations, and having advanced
their line and possessed themselves OF the Hotel
de Vile, and followed up their success along
the banks Of river, that the whole city would
have been given up to pisge. Indeed the words
DIHape and rape are said TO have been inscribed
on one of their banners. Nor less than thirty
10000 stand Of arms have been seized and cap
tured in the FauJorg 81. Ant0iHe alone.
