Effort ON N1Ontmartre.
LONDON, March 10, A. M.-Events of
| most unfortunate character have taken
| place in Paris, and the situation is hourly
becoming graver. The Government, fol-
| lowing up the proclamation of President
Theirs, at midnight on Friday sent de-
tachment of troops and gems d'armes to
occupy the positions of the insurgents in
Montmartre. A considerable number of
cannon was removed and the gems d'armes
made some 400 prisoners.

rades.
In the morning the National Guards of
Belleville and Montmartre with fnany IN
armed soldiers of the line arrived on the
scene and released the prisoners.
Gen. Vinoy, who was in command of
of the Government forces, had posted a

persons from ascending the hill.
The Soldiers Join the Citizens.
The batteries of mitrailleuses were soon
surrounded by angry groups, who de-
manded to know why the authorities dis
trusted the people, and if it was their in
tentiOn to massacre them. The soldiers
when asked if they meant to fire upon
the citizens msde no reply, and soon
determination commenced. The people
were allowed to draw the mitrailleuses
aside and to ascend the heights. The
companies of soldiers on the summit fra
ternized with the Nationals who were
guarding the cannon still in their posses
sion. AS fresh troops arrived upon the
grounds the people shouted to them, Gre
verse arms" and the order was obeyed.
At 10 o'clock the Nationals held the
ground again, and prevented all unarmed
persons from going up the hill.
Fighting Between the Troops and
People.
Gen. Faron was surrounded for seye raj
hours by the mob in Montmartre. His
troops proved faithful. They charged it
and took three barricades, Using their
bayonet, and finally cut their way
out and escaped. Gen. Lecompte
and others were not so fortunate
Abandoned by their men, they were made
prisoners by the rioters, and are now de-
tanned in the. Chateau Rouge. Gen. Pa.
turkes was wounded.
1.-THE morning the troops succeeded in
capturing forty cannon in Montmartre.
OF these the people retook five without
fighting and the remainder were removed
to place of safety. The rebels killed
and cut up the horse of staff officer who
was surrounded and made a prisoner.
The rebels are now building additional
bsrricsdes in Montmartre, Bellville. and
faubourg st. Antoine.
An officer Killed.
At the same hour a serious conflict &C.
CURED in the Place Pigalle, at the end of
street leading from the heights. Some
artillerymen and Chasseurs were sur
rounded by an angry mob, who accosted
them with shouts of ''Go and fight the
Prussians. A lieutenant of Chasseurs,
while endeavoring 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
artilleryman and two Nationals were
wounded, but the fighting soon ceased.
The soldiers abandoned their posts and
mingled with the crowd, distributing
among them their cartridges and relin-
gushing their Chassepots. The artillery
men suffered the people to remove two
of the mitrailleuses, making no further
showsof resistance. The gems d'armes
alone proved faithful to the Government,
but were too few in number to be effec-
tive, and withdrew at II o'clock. Many
battalions of the National Guards fully
organized, marched into Montmartre
shouting, "Viya la Republique." The
districts there are wholly in the possession
of the national soldiers, they having rout-
ed the gems d'armes. Not assingle regu-
lar is visible. ALI the National Guards
are amply supplied with cartridges, and
appeared determined to retain their can.
non and to hold their position on the
heights. The number of insurgents is
still indefinite.
Demands of the Insurgents.
Their main object just now is resist
anee to the Government. The crowds in
Montmartre and in Belleville, however,
are unanimous in their clsmors against
the Assembly at Bordeaux. They de-
mand its immediate dissolution, and the
election of new body, which shall sit in
Paris. At six o'clock on Saturday even
ing, the agitation and uncertainty still
continued. The troops have been with
drawn from faubourgs where the people
appear excited and hostile.
THEIRS TO the Insurgents
LONDON, March 10, 2:3O A. M.-Presi-
dent Theirs has issued a proclamation
appealing to the reason and patriotism of
the citizens of Paris to preserve order.
He says he is informed that the malcon-
tents of Montmatre have planted their
guns so as to demolish the dwellings of
their fellow citizens. He declares by
such acts as these, the Republic is fatally
compromised, because Republic accom-
panied by disorders will be lost. He |
insists that the present government is |
really republican, and no friend of the |
Republic should strike at it. The gov
eminent will take the cannon from those |
men who are misled by designing politi |
clans who seek to inaugurste civil war. |
He draws a picture of the deplorable |
results of their doings, showing how the
reviving commerce OF the city is stopped, |
and the shops deserted. He continues |
that the government, hoping the malcon-
tents will return to their duty as good |
citizens and will obey the laws, still with |
holds orders to proceed to extreme meas
ures to free the country of its new enemy,
but is determined to act when it becomes |
necessary, and will deliver the principals |
over to justice. The government relies |
on the cooperation of all good citizens. |
The proclamation concludes: HAfter this |
warning, we shall proceed to force peace,
if necessary, at all hazards"
Another Proclamation.
The government has issued another
proclamation repudiating any intention of
a coup d'etat, warning the Communists,
who seek to pillage Paris, that they will
ruin France, and appealing to the Ma
