THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
The Streets of Paris Barricaded.
Paris, February S-noon.-The
following details of the disorder in
the north eastern ACCOMPLISHMENTS
are CLEANED from the newspapers;
Rochefort was arrested as he was
ON the point of entering a political
meeting in the Rue de Flandre, run
ming from Belleville to La Villette.
Although there was a great crowd
of people present, mainly his own
partisans, he made no resistance
and no appeals to the crowd. As
soon as the arrestywas made known
to the meeting the widest scenes oc-
cured. Gustave Flourens, who
presided, rose eXcitedly and drew
sword, fired his revolver and declar-
ed that the insurrection had begun.
The meeting broke up in disorder
and the crowd, under the leadership
Of Flourens, Immediately proceeded
to barricade the streets. This was
accomplished without any loss of
time, by the confscation of omnibus
es and other vehicles from stables
in the neighborhood. a commits
sary of police, who accompanied the
guard charged with the duty of ar
resting Rochefort, was forced along
with the crowd and badly injured by
their maltreatment The distance
lying between the Rue du Faubourg
du Temple and the Notifications at
La Nillette, a distance of about two
miles, was in possession. At eleven
O'Clock body Of police charged the
barricade in Rue du FaUbourg du
Temple and attempted to carry it,
but was repulsed. One of the com
missaries was dangerously wounded
and one policeman killed. At other
places barricades had also been erect
ed, but they were not defended. The
military are now out in force, but
thus far they have made no use ofl
their fire arms, although the insur-
gents have. The latter had pillag
ed the armOries and in that way
obtained their weapons. Several |
policemen were wounded with these |
in skirmishes early in the morning. |
a greatnumber ofarrests were made. |
At three o'clock this morning over
three hundred persons had been
taken into custody and imprisoned
in the barracks of Prince Eugene.
Most oB them were boys, all armed !
and most of them under the influen-
ce of liquor. It is reported that
GBstaYe Flourens, who is looked
upon as the leader of the rioters. has
been arrested, but this has not yet
been confirmed. He is said to have
announced to his mother before 90
ing from his home to the meeting
that If RochefoPt was arrested she
probably would never see him again
AT this hour all is quiet.
PARIS, February: 9o-oo p. H.-Inl
the Corps Legislatif to-day, N.
keratry, one Of the liberal deputies,
demanded to know why Rochefort
was not arrested before going to a
political meeting, where five thou
sand persons were assembled. It
was not necessary that the meeting
should have been thus disturbed
and the people who were participat-
ing in it aroused to violence, The
act Of the governmentwas a proyoca-
ton to the disturbance which took
place. A member of the ministry
that the authorities had
refrained from arresting Rochefort
at the Chambers to avoid the scan
dal to which his arrest at such a
place would give rise, lie asserted
that the friends Of Rochef0rt were
to make the demonstration
which they had made, and upon this
fact the ministry would rest the re-
sponsbility Of what had taken place.
and the country would Judge be-
tween this ministry and the rioters.
He said that there need be no un-
npeasiness for the people,
for the government was animated by {
the best sentiments towards them. ;
The Minister Of the Interior follow
cd with the assertion that the
friends of Roehefort had determined
upon a demonstration, had Roche +
fort been arrested at the Chambers. 3
VI. OLIVER praised the conduct Of
lhe police in dealing with the disor- I
lers, He said they had acted with ,
prudence and humanity.
