OF entering political meeting in Rue De Flan-
DIRE, running from Belleville TO La Nilette.
Although there was a great crowd OF people
present, and mainly of his own partisans, he
made no resistance and no appeals 20 the crowd.
As soon as his arrest was made known TO the
crowd the widest scenes occurred. Gustaye

his sword, fired his revolver, and declared insur-
rection had begun. The meeting broke up in
disorder, and the crowd, under the leadership OF
Flourens, proceeded TO harricaie the streets.

the appropriation OF omnibuSes and other vchi-
cles from stables i'm the neighborhoOi. The
Commssary of Police, who, accompanied by a
guard, was charged with the duty Of arresting
Rocheiort, was forced along with the crowd and
badly maltreated.
The district lying between Rue Faubourg du
Temple and the fortilcatiOns at La kidetUe, a

ously wounded, and one policeman killed. At
other places barricades had also been erected,
but they were not defended. The military were
