COUNCIL. We have received the I'aris papers of yesterday. The night of Tuesday had passed off quietly, and all apprehensions of a renewal of the insurrection were at an end. Indeed, so completely did General CAVAIGNAC consider the insurrection suppressed that he announced his intention to the National Asssembly, on Tuesday, of resigning into their hands the extraordinary powers with which they had invested him. This announcement was met with loud cries of "No," and it is generally supposed that he will be requested to retain his powers for some time longer. We yesterday stated that a body of insurgents, driven from the Faubourg St. Antoine, had taken up a position in the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise. Some regiments of infantry arrived on the spot, and summoned them to surrender. They refused, and during the parley fired at the soldiers, one of whom was struck. The troops immediately opened a fire on them, charged them, drove them from their position, pursued them as they fled, and it is said that scarcely one of them escaped. The last collision between the military and the insurgents took place at Belleville, and was thus described by General LABRETON, who commanded, to his colleagues of the National Assembly, where he arrived just after the termination of the evening's sitting of Tuesday. It is reported in the Coastitutionnel, and the writer states he heard the General make the recital :—"A last barricade," said the General, "remained at Belleville. I caused it to be reconnoitred by the National Guard of the place, and by the National Guard of Rouen and that of Amiens. I then sent for the Mayor. I asked him if he could not find some one to open a communication with the insurgents. The Mayor replied in the affirmative, and shortly afterwards he brought to me a citizen who went to the barricade and returned with four of the combatants. They approached and saluted me. Addressing myself to one of them, I asked what they desired ? Ile replied, General, we wish that they should guarantee to us our rights.' Ido not understand such language,' replied the General, and you deserve that I should order you to be shot on the spot, but you are here on my word, and I shall do nothing of the sort. Return, and if in a quarter of an hour you have not laid down your arms, I will have you all shot: " The General immediately gave orders for the occupation of all the houses, the windows of which looked into the barricade. The assailants were impatient to finish the matter, and at the end of fire minutes they commenced a murderous fire, which the besieged returned ; but a few moments afterwards they surrendered, finding that all resistance was useless, and that more than a fifth of their number had been put hors de combat. The others, to the number of eighty, were taken prisoners under the protection of the General, who had the greatest difficulty in saving them from the vengeance they had incurred. The number of prisoners now in custody is upwards of 0,000. The prisons, the cellars of the Tuileries, and of the National Assembly are gorged with prisoners. In the Conciergerie 1,500 are confined in an open court, which on one side is separated from the street by a gate, through which they can be seen. The indignation of the National Guards and the inhabitants against them is so intense that it is with the utmost difficulty they can be saved from summary vengeance. The decree for their deportation was carried on Tuesday almost unanimously, the only persons who spoke against it being PIERRE LEROUX, the Communist, and CAussintEnE, the ex-Prefect of Paris, who is more than suspected of having connived at the attempt of the 15th May. The Archbishop of PARIS, after two days of intense suffering, died on Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock M. CIIARBONNEL, the Deputy, has also died from his wounds, and General DAZiIESAIE has suffered ampu. tation of the leg. General Rat, a Representative, has replaced General NEGRIER in the command of the troops destined for the defence of the National Assembly, which is also the general rendezvous of all the National Guards who arrive from the departments to place themselves at the disposal of the Assembly. General RET successively dispatched them to different points to act with the National Guard of Paris and the Line, and several detachments were sent to procure ammunition from the outer forts of Paris.
