concentrated their principal fOros. The action
there was an exceedingly sharp one, and y was
even found necessary TO batter down the barri-
cade with cannon. The inside Of the barricade,
when the troops entered, was found covered
with corpses and wounded men, The insurgents
who escaped fell back on the barbados near
the Porto ST. Martin. Here after the ground
lad been cleared away near the Porte st. Denis
for the passage Of troops another series OF attacks
took place by the troops, on the four barbados
which had been erected across the bOulevards.
The insurgents had here taken possession OF
several Of the houses at each side, from which
they prepared to FIRE on the troops. When
the attack took place, il was found necessary TO
send bodies of engineers into these houses to
dislodge the insurgents. The resistance here
was not by any means a vigorous one, and the
troops successfully, and without much trouble,
took possession Of the various barricades on the
boulevards.
FRIDAx.-All the barricades made during the
night were carried rapidly. The afsaed 'nSur-
gents were shot on the spot or taken to the
Ecole militaire, to be tried by court-martal. At
ter their condemnation, they were immediately
taken into the Champ de Mars and shot. The
number is said to be very great Several Of
them were well know Socialist chiefs. In many
( parts OF Paris, yesterday, where the insurgents
were caught breaking into houses, they were
made to go on their knees, and were shot on the
spot. At the shop Of milk-dealer four were
shot in this way. The irritation of the troops
on the boulevards, when fired upon from three
or four Of the houses, was very great. They
returned the fire en- 1ldsSe, and many persons II
the crowd were killed.,
There must have been at least twenty or thirty
shot on the BouleYaTds. At nine o'clock al
night four dead bodies were still lying on thu
steps Of the Theatre DIES Varieties. M. Veto
Hugo isa member Of Council of Resistance o.
Five, and directed the operations Of the inSur
gents yesterday at La Chapelle, one Of tn
faubourgs. There were eight barricades, AM
for several hours no troops, but at about min
o'clock they were all carried by five hundre
? troops of the line. Victor Hugo was not taken
, A warrant for his arrest was out three days age
but he has been hiding about, and could not b
found. His family, knowing what a dangerous
wicked and foolish part he was playing, wer
anxious for his arrest on Tuesday, as the onl
means of saving him.
About 10000 fresh troops arrived to-day, an
altogether we have now, it is said about 100
900 men. All the boulevards are occupied, S
are the quays, but the troops behave exceeding
ly well, and carriages are allowed to pass. TIL
n operations to-day have consisted CHIEFLY IN oil
i persing and arresting insurgents and Carryin
barricades. There was little resistance ON an
point, and at about four o'clock it was said tn;
all danger was at an end.'
