New York, January 2s.-A Paris
correspondent gives further details Of
the bloody outbreak Of a Republican
mob, and an attack made OH the Hotel
de Vile at noon of the 22d. Two
hundred of the most repulsiye and
Misunderstanding "Reds a." in the city,
including a large number Of soldiers
and the One Hundred and First Bat
talon of the National Guard, marched
In body to a place in front Of the Hotel
de Vile, uttering revolutionary cries.
and calling upon the citizens to arm
Never during the present troubles has
a crowd been seen bringing so wildly
to mind the horrors of the old French
Revolution.
They occupied the place over an
hour without opposition, shouting and
yelling. Meantime q small guard OF
Mobiles and Bretons were drawn up IN
front of the Hotel de Vile, who stood
their ground, avoiding any collision
with the mob by every means In their
power.
After l o'clock the Adjutant In COM
mand advanced in front Of his men, on
account of a somewhat more threaten
ing demonstration by the crowd. He
was fired upon, and fell severely
wounded in the head, and Immediately
the Mobiles fired on the crowd, Gre
ating n terrible panic.
Unfortunately, q number of persons
who had gathered rs lookers-orl, ell
couragcd by the length of time which
had elapsed without violence, were
drawn up In front of the Hotel de
Vile, received the shots of the Mo-
biles. As the crowd fled, apparently
fifty of their number were left OH the
ground.
It was afterwards ascertained that
five were killed, including IL woman
and two children, and Is wounded,
more or less severely, besides several
slighter hurts.
At the same moment that tho Mo-
bilcs fired, q number Of muskets were
discharged from the windows of houses
OIL the east side Of the place occupied
by the rioters. Three or four Mobiles
fell from the fire, which was badly d.
rected.
Tho old easements above the statue
of Henri Quatre were completely rid
died with bullets. After several rounds
had been fired, the Mobiles withdrew
from the building, and a large force OF
National Guards came at double quick,
with General Vinoy at the head. AS
they approached the Hotel dc Vile,
the rioters left the houses and fled be-
fore them, the Guards allowing them
to escape without shooting or arresting
them.
1t Is said that Flourens was promi-
nent among the rioters in the last at
tack, before the firing began, and was
not seen again afterward.
W~AsmN0ToN, January. Is. - The
action of the House yesterday after
noon in sending back to the
Senate the resolution repeating the
Income lax with the suggestion that 1t
had been wasting time for several days
on business which it had no constitu-
tional right to originate, has probably
disposed Of the resolution.
Considerable surprise is expressed
political circles at tho decided stand
taken by P%leasanton OH the repeal of
the Income Tax, in opposition to the
repeatedly expressed wishes of Bout
we'll, and it is reported that some
members of the House intend to vote
against the repeal out of Difference to
what they suppose to DO n desire Of the
Administration. 1t Is known here,
however, that P~lcasanton, in opposing
this unequal law, Is acting after full
consultation with the President. He
expressed himself as Internationally
In favor of the repeal, and supports the
Commissioner In the course which he
has taken as to the revenue which will
be derived from the tax If it Is con
tinued.
Pleasanton Is still of the opinion
that tine expense OF collecting it will
really equal the Amount. obtained.
