account of the insurrection in Paris, the
killing of two generals by the insurgents,
and the proclamation of President Thiers.
The New York papers received this morn

lars, which we copy below:
At o'clock Saturday evening, the gov
ernment ordered eight regiments Of troops
| to proceed against the insurgents. At
Montmartre and La Villette the insurgents
retired before the regular troops, who took
possession of the cannon.
At Bellevile the people refused to per-
NIT the troops to penetrate the Rue de
Paris. When the regulars began to remove
the cannon from Montmartre immense
crowds stopped them. The troops soon after
fraternized with the people, and refused to
fire on the National Guards.
The insurgents were now charged by
heavy body of gems d'armes, but the latter
we're received with heavy fire, the insur-
gents pouring ceveral volleys Of musketry
into their ranks, killing large number Of
gems d'armes, and compelling the remainder
to beat hasty retreat. The insurgents
then recaptured the guns and also the nit
railleuses previously taken by the regulars
at La Villette. @ li
All the troops now iraternizsd with the
insurgents. Whole regiments of the line
surrendered their arms, refusing to act
against the rioters, and marched with them
across the Place de la Concorde and the
Camp de Mars. s, y.
General Vinoy was hssed and pelted
with stones while at Montmartre. Gene
rails Thomas and Lecomte were taken pri-
soners. The former was shortly after
wards killed, and the latter taken before
drum-head court-martal and condemned
to be shot. General d'Aurelles de Pala-
dimes is a prisoner at the insurgent head
quarters, the approaches to which are
guarded by the National Guards. A large
number of gems d'armes have been killed.
The latest intelligence is to the effect
that General Vinoy has also been shot.

has not been confirmed.

seized and now occupy the staff and general
headquarter buildings of the National
Guard of Paris in the Place Vendome.
