Foreign News by the Steamship Niagara.
The royal mail steamer Niagara, arrived Wed
nesday morning at Boston, on her second trip
from Liverpool, having made most successful
voyage, accomplishing the distance between the
Two cities, including the usual delay at Halifax,
in less than eleven days.
The telegraphc account, by the last arrival,
of bloody work having commenced in Paris, is
terribly confirmed; but it is satisfactory to know
that the result has been at least a temporary de-
feat of the insurgents, and sustaining of the
Government authority; such as it is.
The fighting continued four days and nights,
and must have been furious in the extreme 10

10000 killed and $4,000 wounded. Among the
killed, it is reported, we're fourteen generals of
the National Guard.
The Archbishop of Paris was murdered-bv

BosToN, July l2--12 M.
One Of the most ferocous and obstinate in
surrections which the onsanguined history OF
France has had to record from her earliest an.
nails has just been brought to a close in the
streets of Paris by the absolute annihaton ol
the revolted party, and triumphant success of
Republican arms.
After four days and nights of incessant fight
ing, the insurgents had been utterly vanqushed
with loss on both sides Of 10000 killed and
$4,000 wounded, which is believed 10 be much
beneath the true estimate.
The commencement of the rebellion appears
to have been made by deputation of work
men, who waited upon NJ. Marc at the Luxem.
burg. He listened to their grievances, but OBJ
serving that their spokesman had been active in
the affair of the 18th of May, said to the men
'you are not the slaves Of this man-you can
state your own grievances."'
hisexpression was distorted among the work.
men that NJ. Marc had called them slaves, and
it seems to have been the signal for the conspi-
rators who had organized vast movement to
commence their operations.
On Thursday night, the 22d Of June, the first
barricade was raised, and the troops and The Ma
tional Guards were called out. On Friday, the
Esd, the insurgents possessed themselves of all
that portion Of the right bank Of the River
Seine, stretching from the Faubourg St. Antoine
to the river; whilo on the left bank they occu-
pied all that portion called the "Cite, the Eau.
bourgs ST. Marcel, St. Victor, and the lower
quarter of St. jacques" .... ..
The communications of the insurgents be-
tween the Two banks Of the river were main
Sained by the possession of the Church St. Ger
main, part Of the quarter of the Temple, the
approaches of Nore Dame and the Bridge Of
ST. Michael.
By these extensive lines of operation the in
surgents occupied a vast portion of the most de-
tensible part Of the city, and actually threatened
the Hotel de Vile, which if they had succeed
ed IN taking might have secured the first victory
on their side.
On Friday there were partial conflicts, but the
insurgents seemed 10 be occupied more in forti.
flying their position, than in actually fighting
but whatever success the government troop:
may have had in various quarters where con
flicts took place, as at ST. Dennis and ST. Martin
II now appears that the enthusiastic courage O
the Insurgents repulsed them, and even bea
them IN other paris of the city.
NJ. Lamartine rode with the staff of Cavaig
nac' through Paris, to quel the insurrection; bu
twas evidentlhat nothing but the power of arm
could compel the insurgents 10 yield. The
Government forces were divided into three di
visions, and large masses of troops were brough
to bear with artillery upon the position of III,
insurgents; bit still Friday passed, and the in
surrection had evidently gathered Strength.
On Saturday, the Gath, the National Assem-
bly, declared itself in permanence, and Paris wa
placed in state of sSige; the executive powe
