siderable number OF cannon were re-

the government forces, had posted Il cor
den of troops around the hill of Mont
martrc, planted mi!raillcuscS, and pre-.
vented all persons from ascending the
| hill. The batteries Of mitraillcuscs were
soon surrounded by angry groups, who
demanded TO know why III. authorities
distrustcd the people, and il it was their
intention to massacre them. TIC sol
dicr<, when t>kcd if they meant to fire
upon the citizens, made no reply, and
soon Il general f:atcrhizing commenced.
HE people were allowed to draw the
mitrallcu,cS aside, and ascrud the Ii.hts.
