pOSiTlONS OF THE INSURGENTS.

From the map Of Paris published above II will be
easy to ascertain how much OF the City Is held by
the insurgents. as our dispatches report that the
government forces have retired to the left
bank o: the Seine, leaving the National
Guards In possession OF all points on the
right bank. Virtually, therefore, the rebels
are in complete control OF the French capital.
The greater part the city is on the right bank OF
the river. Here are the most important public edi-
fees and the most valuable property. Tie Tueres,
the Paais Royal, Hotel de Vile. Paais de l'Eiysee,
Palais de rIndustrie, Arc de TriOmphe Grand
Opera, Halles Centrales and numerous other public

buildings which adorn Paris are within the quarter
held by the unruly National Guards.
The quarters where the insurrecion broke out
will be seen marked on the map. They are Mont
martre and Beeville. Here live the lowest classes
OF Paris true descendants Of the murderers thieves
and vagabonds invited to the city in 1906 by the
then government The streets In these quarters are,
for the most part narrow, and bear evidence
of the class which nhabits them. AS one
approaches the hill or Montmartre the ground
rises, while Montmartre itself completely
overlooks the other parts OF the capital.

leading from the height. Some artillerymen
and chasseurs were surrounded by an angry
mob, who accosted them with shouts of $50
and fight the Prussians!"
THE INSURGENTS VICTORIOUS.
A lieutenant of chasseurs while endeavor
ing to disengage his horse from the crowd
drew his sabre He was instantly dragged
from his horse and killed. A melee followed,
in which an artilieryman and two Nationals
were wounded. But the fighting soon
ceased. The soldiers abandoned their
posts and mingled with the crowd, dis
tributing among them their cartridges and
relinquishing their chassepots. The artillery
men suffered the people to remove two
mitrailleuses, making no further show of re-
sstance. The gendarmes alone proved faith
full to the government, but were too few in
number to be effective, and were with
drawn.
WYE LA REPUBLrQUE.
At eleven o'clock many battalions of Ma
tional Guards, fully organized, marched into
the Montmartre, shouting "Vioe Ia Repu5-
Eque!" The district was then wholly in the
possession of the Nationals, the soldiers

single regular was visible.
THE INSURGENTS WELL PREPARED.
All the National Guards were amply sup
piled with cartridges, and appeared deter
mined to retain their cannon and hold their
position on the heights.
THEIR PURPOSES.
The purposes of the insurgents are still
indefinite. Their main object just now is
the Montmartre and Belleville, however are
unanimous in their clamors against the Assem-
bly, at Bordeaux. They demand its immo-
date dissolution, and the election of a new
body, which shall sit in Paris.
THE SITUATION IN THE EVENING.
AT six o'clock Saturday evening the agita-
ton and uncertainty continued. The troops
had been withdrawn from the faubourgs,
where the people appeared excited and

the report of the execution of Generals

REPORTED SHOOTING OF vNoY.
Special dispatches to London journals say
General Vinoy has also been shot. The report
has not yet been confirmed and is not credited.
OPINIONS OF THE PARIS PRESS.
The Journal des Df6ots says :-''Yester-
day will be considered as one of the
gloomiest hours in the history of France.
The revolution, marshalled under the
banner of pillage, is the mistress
of Paris. France will condemn these horrible
assassinations and this odious insurrection,
which is without pretext or purpose. Will
the provinces come to our aid, or must the
Germans re-enter the capital? This terrible
day has wrought more damage to the republic
than all the Bonapartes.

Events Of most unfortunate character
have taken place in Paris, and the situation is
hourly becoming graver.

clamatiou appealing to the reason and patriot
ism Of the citizens of Paris to preserve order
He says he is informed that the malcontents
Of the Montmartre have planted their guns so
as to demolsh the dwellings of their fellow cit
izens. He declares that by such acts as these
the republic is fatally compromised, because a
republic accompanied by disorders viii be
lost. He insists that the present government
is really republican, and no friend of the re-
public should strike at it. The government
will take the cannon from these men who,
misled by deceiving politicians, seek to in
augurate civil war. He draws picture of
the deplorahle results of ther doIngs, showing
how the reviving commerce Of the city is
stopped and the shops are deserted. He con-
tinues:-The government hoping the malcon-
tents will return to their duty as good citi-
zens and sbey the laws, still withholds
orders to proceed to extreme measures

is determined to act when necessary and de-
liver the principals over to justice. The
government relies on tho cooperation of all
good citizens. The proclamation concludes
with these words:-s'After this warning we
shall proceed to force peace, if necessary, at
oil hazards"
MoNTMARTRE OCCUPIED BY THE REGULARS
The government, following up the proclama-
ton of President Theirs, at midnight on
Friday sent detachment of troops and gen.
darmes to occupy the positions of the insur-
gents in the Montmartre. A considerable
number of cannon were removed and the gen.
darmerie made some 400 prisoners.
APPEARANCE OF THE INSURGENTS.
In the morning the National Guards of
Belleville and Montmartre, with many
unarmed soldiers of the line, arrived on the
scene, and released the prisoners.
POSITIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT FORCES.
General vinoy, who was in command Of
the government forces, had posted Gordon
of troops around the hill of Montmartre, and
planted mitraill.uses at the approaches, and
his sentinels prevented all persons from
ascending the hill.
GENERAL FRATERNIzATIoN.
surrounded by angry groups, who demanded
to know why the authorities distrusted the
people, and if it was their intention to mas
sacre them? The soldiers, when asked if
they meant to fire on the citizens, made no
reply, and soon general determination COM
menced. The people were allowed to draw
the mitrailleuses aside and ascend the heights.
The companies Of soldiers on the summit
fraternized with the nationals who were
guarding the cannon still in their possession.
AS fresh troops arrived on the ground the
people shouted to them, Reverse arms" and
the order was obeyed.

The following discourse was delivered
by the Rev. Father Damen, of the Society
of Jesus, at the Catholic Church of St.
Laurence, Eighty fourth street, New York,
on March Is, at a mission there in progress.
According to invitation large number of
Protestants came to listen. He said:
Man must adore Cod. His infinite Justice,
His infinite wisdom. L worship Him BY
will aud intellect. In VIII, because l must
conform myself to Gods will; and in in :

THE WATER POWER CANAL.-In the notice
of MIR. Arnold's scheme for great water
power in Manchester, it was stated that he
was q citizen of Manchester. He resides
in Richmond. It was further stated that at
the point where the water would be ayaiIa-
BILE to drive machinery the elevation was
thirty-seyen feet above tide-water. 1t
should have been tfty-seoen feet. 1t is
thirty-seven feet above Hull street at the
abutment of Mayo's bridge. This would
be great elevation.
The subject is one of the deepest interest
to the people, and every project that re-
lates to it deserves investigation. Most as
suredly this locality cannot stand as it is.
Something must be done. some enterprise
and forecaste must be devoted to a great
improvement upon the present status. We
would urge our people to keep vigilant
watch upon events, and not permit the
consummation of visionary or selfish pro-
jects which will be for years nn obstacle to
wise and judicious improvements. We
mean no reflection upon Mr.. Arnolds
scheme. It is, as we know, free from all
grounds OF suspicion. It is o grand pro-
ject, and would, If consummated, furnish
an immense manufacturing power. But 1t
must be canvassed with reference to oil the
questions involved, including, Of course,
the cost,
