The English papers relate the progress OF the re-
cent affair Of the barrlcades In Parls:-At about 10
O'Clock on February T. numerous groups OF people
appeared In the Rue Aboukr, but no serious disor-
der is reported Half an hour later an attempt was
made to throw up barricades in the Faubourg du
Temple, and also in the neighborhood OF the Cour-
cine Barracks. Carriages and omnbuses were upset,
but the presence OF the police suGed dsperse the
rioters. About the same time six omnibuses had
been overturned in the Rue de Paris, at Beeville,
and a somewhat imposing barrlcade was thus
at the barrcade which was erected early on the
morning OF February 8, in the Rue de Paris, Belize
arrested. A Commssary OF Police named Lombard
was wounded on the left side OF his chest by bayo
net thrust. Some distance from this spot Sergent
de VILE was struck in the breast by revolver. At
IL 80 this morning the rioters broke into the gunshop
OF M. Lefaucheux, Rue Lafayette, and decamped
with 40 muskets and 300 revolvers.
The total number OF arrests effected on February
is I50 M Fourens is still at large. The latter and
NJ Bologee prevented the assassination OF the Com
missary Of Police who was dragged into the street
by the crowd after closing the meeting In the Rue de
Flandres.
Only one serious conflict occurred during the day.
and this was on the Rue Oberkampf, where barr-
cade was removed by the Gardes de Paris. The
troops did not make use OF their arms. Some stray
revolver shots came from the ranks OF the rioters
ard one police agent was most severely wounded.
About 100 ringleaders and Others CARRYING arms
cades were still left during the night chiefly in the
Rue du Temple, Rue ST. Maur, and Rue Oberkampf,
| and also on the Quay Valmy. They were formed by
overturned carriages, omnbuses, and building ma
terials. 1he Gazette des TTibu,au1 mentions some
attempts at throwing up barricades In the Quar-
tier du Temple, stating, however, that no resist
conflict
Accounts published both in the Figaro and the
| GaulOiS confirm the statement that large number
OF the rioters have been severely wounded by sword
cuts or slaves in the encounters which had occurred
at various points.
An article appears in the RefOrme OF the 9th,
signed by NJ tlourens, in which the writer narrates
the lnenectual attempts made by him on the 7th TO
erect Ddrrlcaues and organize revolution.
| The Paris correspondent of the Times writes on
| Feb. S:-The impetuOus Flourens rushed back into
| the hall and announced to an excited public that
| Rocheiort was arrested AT the same time he ex-
claimed, ''Citizens, hereby declare myself an in
surgent" Sulting the action to the word he drew
revolver and nred shot in the air the signal for
| the commencement OF civil war. Several men then
produced pistols and sutlasses and rallied round
him. The police Judging that they were not
| without boodshed, disappeared as il by enchant-
ment But the unfortunate Commssary OF Police,
who wearing his Official scarf, was sitting In chair
on the PLATFORM, IN pursuance OF the disagreeaDle
duty imposed on him OF watching the proceedings Of
public meetings could not get away intme. Flurens
put pistol 10 MS throat and said, 81 arrest you tu
the name OF the republic. II YOU resist will kill
you" The whole party then went out into the street.
Flourens dragging the Commissary of Police by the
collar as prisoner OF war, while the mob shouted,
| "Bravo!" "Viye la Republqueln "Viye Rochefort!'
| Down with assassins!"
