LATE EUROPEAN NEWS. THE NEW INSURRECTION IN PARIS. (From the Times, June 26 )

Thb Paris papers of Friday were oci upied with the two subjects which engrossed attention on Tfcuisday — he financial condition of the Republic, and " the ouvicrs." Ths latter appaaied, at the departure of our express, likely to prove exceedingly troublesome ii the course of the daw I " You are aware," says onr corresprndent " that M, La Grange is this day (Friday) to ask questions of the Executive Government touching the situation of the unemployed of the working classes. In imitation of the practice that usually obtains in England, M La Grange had given notice to the Executive Commission of his intention to submit thoie questions to them in tha National Assembly jesterday, * but,' at La Press says, ' the National Astembly according to custom, postponed the matter to this day, and proceeded with one of less preshiii^ importance— that respecting the railroads.' This ill-advued delay afforded to the evil-disposed further time, and an additional pretext for roubinjj and convoking the ounriers, and the tur bulent of every kind. We shall possibly have unpleasant lesulis to record in our evening express. " Pursuant to their determination to diminish the number of ouvriers, and the dunger which their presence in such maisei in Paris t'nrea'ened to the public peace, the Government directed that a first draught of 3000 of them, inhabitants of the provinces, should be obliged to leave town fur their homes yesterday. They were supplied with money for their start, and with feuillcs d> route — orders for board and lodging at •taied point! of the journey. They left towu certainly, but they halted immediately outside the barrier*, where the wine is six sous cheaper than in the city, a»d there they ipent a portion of the day and a large share of their travelling expenses. About three o'c osk a tody of those who had left by the Barrier de Funtainebleau, amounting to 400, returned into town, and paid a visit to tne Executive Gjverament at the Palace of the Luxembourg. " After some time M. Marie presented himself to them to hear their catalogue ot grievances. He was addressed by the chief of a deputation of four from am >ng them, but M. Marie refused to bear him, observing, that as that individual had been amongst those who atticked the National Assembly on the 15th of May, he (M. Marie) could not tecognize him as the organ of the operatives; and, turning to the other ftur, he sai i, * You are not the slaves of this man, you can explain your grievances.' M. Maiie, aher having patiently listened to them, entieaied (hem not to suffer themselves to be led into rebellion against the authorities, and assured them tint the Government wa» occupied constantly with the consideration of measures for the improvement of their condition, The delegates then withdrew, buc it would appear they did not give an accurate account of iheir interview to their comiades who were waiting for them at the Placs St. Sulpice ; on the contrary, they stated that M. Marie called them slaves. The labourers then commenced shouting " Down with Marie !" "Down with the Executive Comin ssioii i" Down wi h the As eniuly !" Some of them attempted to iorce mto the church of St. Sulpice, with the iuteation

probably of ringing the tocsin, but fortunately the gates wore closed in time to prevent them. Thence they proceeded to the quays by the streets VicuxColombier, St. Dominique, and Dv Bac, singing to the air of Dcs Lampions, * We will remain ; we will remain !' They next proceeded to the Faubourgs, St. Antoineand St. Miirceau, their numbers being increased by crowds of idlers. They stationed themselves ou. the Place tfela Bastille and near the Barrier dv Tione p crying, ' Vive Napoleon !' Vive I' Empereur !' " Between eight and nine o'clock much alarm prevailed, in consequence of a body of at least 5000 workmen, witli a fliifj, having marched from tho l'untheoa to the quay ol the lintel de Ville, and thence to the F,iubourt;h dv Temple, with the intention, as it was believed, of forming a junction with the workmen of the neighbourhood of the Temple of St. Antoine. As tnuamres of precaution, the National Guard* were privately summoned at theii houses to be ready to march, il uquned. Considerable detachments of troops were assembled at the Luxembourg. A squadron of dragoons and several companies of the lind the Gnarj Mobile, and the National Guard, bivouacked on th „ open space beside the Hotel de ViUe. A battalion o° the line was stationed in the court-yard of the Perfectuie of Police. The Palais de Jusice was guardeilf by the Garde Mobile, and the hall of the National Assembly was filled with troops. The government had previously taken the precaution to placo a battalion of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry under the command of General Negrier, in front of the National Assembly. The body of the building was occupied by troops of the line. " The neighbourhood of the Hotel de Ville and the P. lace of the Luxjmbounj was crowded with workmen, but no violence was attempted. '* Tor never.il days, amid the profound tranquility that Paii> appeared to enj y, the agents of disorder have bjen busy in preparing- a popular movement of a very alarming character. In all the clubs, in-door and out-of-door, they have been stimulating the people to rise and demand the lioeration oi M. Barbes. and, if it be reiused, to pioceed to Vinceunes and deliver him by force. In every pos-ible case they have indu* cc I t-e ptople to sign a petition for the release of M. Ba bes, and a sort ot pledge to restore him to liberty at the hazard of their lives. One hundred and fifty thousand men are said to .have already oigned this petition and this engagement, and these men are to asstmble to-day, and carry their petition to t he Assembly. They have been collecting unce an early hour this morning, " The Government are not idle. The vappel resoundi throu hout Paris and Ihe ftanfieu. The troops a.c cunsiffnes,^ n>\ the Garde Mobile held ready to act ; in fact, at an tarly hour this morning those quartered out of Paris weie marching in." We have since jeceivtd, by extraordinary express, the tol owing lutr lrom our Correspondent—* " Friday Afternoon. " If the National Guards hive not turned out with the unanimity that charactenzed the demonstration of the 16111 of Apnl and the evening of the 15th of May, those who did present themselves have acted with the enrage and the sang /raid of old tro <|>j. TheSecontt Legion particularly distinguished themselves. 1 was among them immediately before they left the Rue L"i>elietier and the Rue Pinou. Never did men display more resolution or coolness than il.ey did. They are said to have suffered much, but they had few killed. I have just seen two of them carried by wounded. Among thcaevi lely wounded i&M. Tkuyer, a Chef de Battalion, one of the lii-hest proprietor:, iis Pari>, being thrf owner of the Pa.Bagca uts P«moiames. He was the t-on-in-law of General Beitrand. JM. Aviiul, a bankei of Havre, was killed. " The alarm was given and the rappcl beaten this morning about nine o'clo-L, at wlvwi moment vast anxiety pievaik-d throughout the metiopolis. At that t me I proceeded to the Hotel de Vil e, near winch a number of people had gathered together in omaß groups. The etre. t§ in the neighbourhood ot ths i'uilenes piesen'ed a similar appearance of anxiety. I have Mure traversed almost all Paris, and found the iau>e ftieiin^a pievdiing everywhere. At about flic same time that J reached the Hottl de Ville the iiisingent«. commenced throwing up baineddea at the Porte^ St. Denis and M. Martin, thd Faubourgs of tue same name, the Pmce de la Bastille and the Faubourg S . Antoine. At about half-past tan o'clock the conflict between th-m and the Hrmed force commenced. The Nati >nal Guard behaved in a most gallant manner. A body of some twenty five men, commanded by a captain, attacked a formidable ba ncade at the Poitc St. Marlin. 'Jhe people made a stout resistance, and the righting was still going on, when the captain clunbei the barricade, leaped down on the oppos-te side, and (ou In hand to hand with the insurgents, The National Guards followed their commander, anil the barricade was Qnally carried and (luktro)ed, but only after a hard conflict, in which many v/ere killed aad wounded. ''The barricades in the Faubourg S;. Martin were taken without much resiatauce. Some 200 ot the insurgents had taken possession of the barracks in the Faubourg St. Marlin, but they were soon expelled from them by troops of the line, as-isted by a body of Nitional Guards. Some sharp fighting took place in • the old ground,' the Quurtier bt. Mery, and i am told that the slaughter was dreadful in 'he 12th arrondi'sement, in nhiuh B.irbjs had been elected Colonel ot the National Guard. While the fighting was going on at the Porte St. Martin, the people were bu-ily throwing up the barricades in the neighbouring faubourgs. I was stopped, I cannot say how olteu, atui requested to contnonte towards erecting tbe barricade by throwing up one pavin-^ stone — a contribution whic nobody could relume nuking to any b,irricaile in con» htruction as he passed. •Un paiw (a paving stone) ' s U vout plait,' Mild they m u infinite! civility, however, as I had no time to lose, I managed to pass cvry where by telling them that I was a pb)sicun goiug to visit patients ; and this assertion served me as a passport with the people ; but it wag not so easy to pass where the streets were garriioned by the Na« tional Guard, and it was with great difficulty that I re died tin Faubourg St. Antoine and the Place de la Bat le. The latter patented a very singular and exciting aspect. At the ex'.reuuty of tUe Boulevard St. Antoine and the Place de la Bastile. The latter presented a very singular and exciting aspect. At the extremity of the Boulevard St. Antoine the Nati iial Guard bad taken possession ot a barricade which they had demolished, whilst on the othtr side of the Place, at the entrance of the Faubourg St. Antoine tbe people were vary coolly completing a formidable barricade, on the tjp of which aoout twenty men stood in arms. The red flag was hoisted on every barricade in the Faubourg at. Antoine, in which quarter I found it impos-ible to proceed very far, I now returned through the Rue St. Antoine. Here again I found numerous buTicades, one ot which 1 taw carried by tlie National Guaid, without any resistance whatever from the people. When I reached the Port St; Martin for tin; kecond time, at about two o'clock, a volley was fired in the Faubourg, and shortly alter the troops and National Guirdi were masters of the position, A considerable body of dragoons was maiched up to the Boulevard St. Mavim at the time when I left,

and it appeared to me that preparations were being made to attack the Faubourg Si. Antoine, where the barricades are exceedingly numerous, and where the conflict must be dreadful, if they be well defended."

" Friday, half-past 4 o'clock. " A thunder storm of the most violent kind has come to the aid of the Government in suppressing this revolt. I have rarely seen more vivid lightning, and never saw more heavy rain. We shall see if it will have the sedative effects which tradition asciibes to bad weather. •' It is time I should now turn to the alleged cause of this iniurrectioa. I can only find it ascribed to the discontent of the ouvriers at the proposed disperiion of them by Government. This measure has never ceased to be regarded ai fraught with fearful possibilities, nor have the Communists and other Ultra-Republicans «ver cea»ed to prepare for turning it to the advantage of their own projects. The Sections are obviously among the insurgents. Little has been said lately about Louis Napoleon. Another more significant and more sinister feature is perceptible in this insurrec«i n — namely, the app"arance of the red flag on the barricades of the Faubourg St. Antome. " Paris is in a state of siege ; GenerHl Cavaignac is the sola depository of power. The Executive Commission is no niore ; all the Ministers have lesigned. 11 Since the date of my despatch of last night cannon and musketry have not ceased to resound through Paris. The insurgents may be said to be eveiywhere, fout principally in the Faubourgs Pois6onmeie, St. Martin, Bnd St. Antoine, on the right bank of the ffiver, in ' the Island.' and in the Quarter of St. Jaque and St. Victor on the left. ♦• The fighting that lias taken place since the date of my letter of yesterday evening has been on both sides of the most determined character. The insurgents, which terra comprists, I believe, the whole force of the Sections and Communists, fight with a courage, a coolness, and at the same time an enthusiasm that would immortalue men in a good came. The exaltts believed that the Republic was not proceeding in the true line, as you have been all along aware, and determined on putting an end to the • pale' government of MM. Lanwtine and his colleagues, and on replacing it by the Repuhlique Rouge. They have notoriously been long engaged in preparations fur establishing the Republic of 1792, with its guillotine and other appendages of horrible memory, and but for the premature occurrenpe of the 16th of May might ultimately have succeeded. That they will not now succeed I dare not assert, but there tie accidents possible which would give them the victo-y. " Besides the combatants on principle— as I shnll term the Communibts and Sections — there are tens of thousands of people who wer j absolutely famishing, or who seek to have [continued to them the stipend Which they have hitherto received for doing nothing. TheKe men, the ' Red' Republicans, have adroitly provoked into the revolt, and they fight with a desperation wh eh raises them to a level with their instigatois of the di apeau t oug c. ♦' That there are many amongst the insurgents who fight because they suffered from hunger, is, I fear, but too true I have ju^t now seen a most i expectable gentleman, who last night, after the filing had in n great measure ceased, ti averted the Faubourg Si. Vicbr. He found in that quarter 500 banicades finished or in construction. He fpoke to the men v»ho weie working at or guarding them, and found them civil, but determined to the last point of resolution. He asked one of them 4 Why are you engaged in this dreadful occupation?' The man folded his arms und looked at him for tome minutes, and then said, ' Because I slarve. I have a wife and four children. I receive at the uiayoial y twenty-two sous per day. That does not suffice to buy bread for us, cheap as bread it. Come with me to my home and you shall li&ve the proof. After you shall have teen my family I will return to this barricade. 1 am hungry, but 1 will not ct. I shall fall fighting. {Je me ferui I'uer) ' 'lilt- gentleman accompanied him to his home, which was wretched in the extreme, and found the wife and children of the poor man without food. He p-rtve them money, but he could not diisuade the huobm& and father Irom leturiun^ lo the barricade. '• To give you a notion of tha audacity of the insurgents I shall here mention one fact that occurred, I may say, under my eyes. At half past eight o'clock this morning, a man en blouse, mounted on an excellent hor»e, arrived at a smart trot on the Boulevard <les Italians, nearly opposite the Opera Comique. He there encountered a body of the National Guaids of the 2nd Legion, who desired him to stop. They approacbed to seize (he reins of his horse, when, raising his biouse, he produced a brace of pistols and fi ed upon them right and left. He then put spurs to his liorse, and went at a full gallop towards ihe Made U.i ie. On arriving at the Hotel dcs Affaires Eirangei'es of tmfortunate memory, he found that his flight towairs the Mfidelsine was impossible. He turned down the Rue Neuve dcs Capucins and endeavoured to pass through the Place Vcndome. He was theie stopped by a mass of National Guards, made prisom r, and — I am told — sho* ; hut this I cannot vouch for. •* Having spoken of the insurgents, I may now say of the National Gunrds that they have conducted themtelves manfully. Thi>y are, generally speaking, as much broken down in spirit by the prevailing suspensiou of trade as are the working classes. They have political opinions, some of them adverse to the existing order of things, but they have a strong desire to establish and maintain order while they protect their homes and all that remain* of their pioperly, which every man believes to be unequivocally menaced by tbe present insurrection. 1 was among the tanks of one legion (the second) yestdrday and never s*n men more obviously determined to conduct themselves creditably It was about 12 o'clock 'Where are ycu going ?' asked a friend of a field officer of the legion. ' We are going to attack the barricade of the Porte St. Dennis,' said he. 'Do all yi,ur men know the STvice in which they are to be engaged ?' 'Eveiy man ot them, and you see how quiet and unpretending they are.' And to the truth of this I bear testimony.— They marched, and were from that hour until late at night engaged in fighting at the Poite St. Denis, the Po^rte St. Martin, and above all, in the Faubourgs St. Martin and Poissonniere. In the Place La Fayette, close to the terminus of the Northern Railroad, there occurred yesterday and this day a succession of conflicts, or rather a cot tinucd conflict of the most muiderom kind, each party evincing the molt unshrinking courage. •• The conduct of the legions has been timila If admirable, and everywhere they have maintained a resolute resistance. They have been admirably 6npnorted by the troops of the line, and by the Gardes Mobiles . Of some of the latter there are rumours iv circulation unfavourable (o their fidelity, but I have this from no authentic source. I saw one of th< m carried up the Faubouig St. Honore this morning wi<h a ba I in his thigh, and about the same ipot just now s*w a fine young man of most distinguished appearance, a National Guard, conveyed with much care m the Sime direction, to the Hospital Beaujon The Boulevardi and all the principal streets are gwept clean ot passengers. Men en blouse in consider-

able numbers had continued to arrive in town since 5 o'clock this morning, and have no doubt swelled the ranks of the insurgent*, but there appears to be a stop lo the further arrival of such visitors, for one sees very few of them now. Paris looks — in the quarters in which there is no fighting— like a city must appear when ravaged by a plague. There are very few pas* lengers, and those few with the most triste expression on their countenances. The Boulevardi and princi* pal streets are here and there dotted with parties of National Guards. The corners of all the streets are guarded by bodies of the same force* In the neiuhbourhood of the Place de la Concorde there are Cuirassiers who perform that duty. la the Place itself tbeie is an army. "At this moment (3 o'clock) there ii, perhaps, less firing than during some hours : but I know not yet to what cause to aicribe the comparative cessation. I understand that the points pi incipally contested are still the Place Lafayette, the Faubourg Poissoniere, the Cite" (the Isle St. Louis, &c.) , the Rue and Faubourg St. Jacques, (including trie Pays Latin, the l J lace» de 1' Ecole de Medicine and of the Pantheon. At an early hour this forenoon the insurgents occupied the Church of St. Jacques. They were I was told summoned by General Cavaignac to surrender, but refused. ' I shall give you an hour for consideration,' said the General, with his usual cold tone and manner. ' At the end of that time the church shall be stormed.' I know not what has been the result, furiher than that the hour had long elapsed when my informant left, and the insurgents were still in possession of the church. " A similar speech is Raid to have been addressed by him to the insurgents in that focus of the insurrection —the Ci 6. 'I give you till four o'clock,' the General is reported to have said. ' It' you still reiist I will bombard the quarter.' ; ♦' In fact, howitzers and mortars have arrived from Vincennes for the purpose. " If reinforcements for the insurgents have ceased to arrive, such ii not the case with regard to the authorities. 1 met at 7 o'clock yesterday evening a regiment of infantry (2500 men) who had just marched in from the country. Du r ing the night others are said to have arrived. Last ivght and this morning, the generate and the lappel were beaten in all the towns in the vicinity ut Parii, and this d^y National Guards from all quaiten kaye been pouring in. Among them are those of Rouen and Amiens. Ihe latter brought with them some pieces of cannon, which I luve just been told had been captured by the insurgents. •' It is not amisi to observe that about one o'clock to-day deputations of the National Assembly visited the points at which the conflicts were in progress to exhorr the troops and National Guard* to continued exertion and thank them for their conduct. In 6ome instances thay were accompanied by itudents of the Po^ 'ytechnic and other military schools. " 4 o'clock. •' If it were difficult to approach the fighting quarters this morning, it is now impossible. There is not a single man out of uniform to be seen in the whole line of the Boulevards All who present themselves to pass to thiir dwellings are stopped by the National Guards, and in suspicious cases seaiched, as it has bten ascertained that ammunition ha > been pa«s u d to the insurgents by persons apparently unconnected with them. Several women hare been arrested, whose pockets were filled with cartridges. •'The wound of M. Thayer has, I reeiet to s^y, proved mort 1. He died this morning. M. Bixio has bern killed ; M. Cave, the celebrated engineer, is said to have fallen ; the wounds of Geneial liedeau and "f M. Clement Thomas are but slight : General Lamoriciere whose conduct in these two dayi has been mo=t exemplar} , it said to have been killed, but it is nut generally believed. Half past 4 o'clock. •' There is increased en'husiasm observable among the Nalional Guaids. " The following p/oclamation was posted in Paris on Friday arteinoon.

" FRENCH KKIH)BLIC. "The National Assembly and Commission of the Executive Government. "The President of the National Assembly and Commission of the Executive Government decree, th<vt Genual Cavaignae, Minister ot War, is invested with the command in chief of the aimed force in Palis — the National Guaid, the Garde Mobile, and the armed Republican Guaid. " Unity of command. " Obedience. " Force will be wuh the law. I " The President of the National Assembly— SEN ART. " The members of the Commission of the Executive Government — "ARAGO, " MARIE, " GARNI I'R-PAGES. "LAMAItTINE, " LEDRU-llOLLIN." " M. Larnartine.on horseback, followed by M. Duclerc» and a numerous staff, returned to the National Assembly at half past 8 o'clock on Friday afternoon. He was accompanied by a considerable number of operatives, who cried, « The Democratic and social Republic (or ever.' " At 9 o'clock a regiment cf Cuirassiers and the National Guard of Boulogne entered Paris together by tbeßjrner de 1' Etoile. " A portion of the rails of the northern railroad between Pans and St. Denis were removed by the people on Friday to prevent the arrival of troops from Poi.toise and Amiens, '• Along with the Paris paperi of yfsterday we have received the following letter lrom our correspondent : " Sunday. June 25, 6 o'clock, A. m. " As it was reported early l*st night that there were symptoms perceptible of the intention of the insurgents to relinquish the conflict in which they had been for two days engaged, a momentary sensation of r«-l ef wus experienced ; but the Sdtiifaction that would have been felt was sadly mollifi d by the aspect at every moment of wounded National Guards led or carried along live Boulevards. At 10 o'clofk it became rather generally known that the insuigen's had entertained no notion whatever of retiring fiom the conteit. Tliev were fatigued, and, like the National Guards aid troopi, availed themselves of a lull in the tempest to seek a little lepose. This intelligence dissipated the hope that had begun to be entertained, and being accompanied by a rumour, or an apprehension, that the ii •argenti would attempt to execute their threat of burning Paris, prepared us foraa agitated night. Even had thrtt menace been wanting, however, the constant passing of patroles, expresses, snd bodies of troops and National Guards throughout the night, and their challenges and rt plies, would have tendered sleep impossible. " After I had clos ed my despatch yesterday evening I met and convei&ed with several National Guards coming fiom the barricades. I learned that the people still held out in all the piincipal points of this (the northern) portion of the metropolis. Their great po> si ions weie. one nt the top of the Faubourg Poissonne c and at the Ban 6re RochechoudU. Al most of tbe other intervening barriers between those and the Barrifiie da Trout* they lud thrown up formidable b-ir-licades which they manned to oveiflow. The dtscriptton given me of the barricade at the summit of the Faubourg Poissonniere, and the manner in which it hud beca maintained throughout the day, suggested

i gainful sensations, if not fearful forebodings. Not only was the barricade constructed in the strongest i poisible way, but it was enfiladed and covered by crowds of insurgents in the houses in its vicinity. — From these they kept up a deadly fire on the National Guards and troops who attacked the barricade, and who ■ were necessarily exposed to the fire of their adversariss. The barricade itself wai defpnded with a courage and a sangfroid that bore uo imprint of hesitation or ' wavenug. i " 7 o'clock. " At half past five o'clock this morning, the drum, mcrs of the National Guards of all Pads began beating the ge'nc'rale, thus removing all doubt that the contest would be renewed. In fact, it had already commenced by attempts to reconstruct the barricades of the Porte and Faubourg St. Denis, but they were defeated, and the men who had commenced forming them were quickly dispersed by the armed force. " Since six o'clock they have been fighting at many points, but especially in the Place Bundoyer, at the rear of the Hotel de Ville* The noise of musketry and cannon is occasionally distinctly heard. " The question m*y suggest itself, « Why do you not ascertain the facts ?" The answer is that I attempted just now to pass from the Boulevard Montmartrc into the Rue Vivienne and was refused permission. At the moment when I was remonstrating, M. Eimle de Girardin came up, and was in the same manner denied permission to pass, but on exhibiting his card and declaring his quality of Redacteur en chefde la Presse, he was suffered to proceed in the direction of his own bureau. 41 9 o'clock. ) " The fighting is still going on. I know not htovr it is with respect to the insurgents, but tlure have arrived 40,000 more troops of the line and National Guards from the provinces during the night. At this moment two regiments of infantry of the 1 ueare passing along the Boulevards just arrived. They are coveied with mud, and are loudly cheered by the National Guards, to whom they reply with enthusiasm: Their appearance will have a vast eftect on the National Guards whose spirits were possibly beginning to be affected by the incident* of the last two days. , " You will have no other letter from me till to-mor* row. The Commissary of Police has just given notice that every door must be closed at 12 o'clock, and that no per»ou whatever will be suffered to appear in the streets after that hour. General Cuvaignac is determined, in fact, on a last and gi eat effort to quell the insurrection. It will be a fearful struggle. All the troops within twenty-five leagues of Pans are ordered to maich on the capital. The utmost enthusiasm is said to pervade the National Guards of the departments, so that every moment will bring reinlorcements , to the army and National Guards of Paris. " The notice to keep within doors is sign'iicant.' — It is as much as> to say that every man out of uniform seen will be treated as an enemy, and the most terrible means taken for extinguishing the insurrection. " It is impossible to form an idea of the number of killed and wounded on both sides. Humour says between 5,000 and 10,000. " You are aware that the red fljg lias been hoisted by the insurgents. The war-cry of the Na'ional Guaidu and troops has been 'Vive la Repuhlique !' That of the insurgents, ' Vive la Kepuolique Democratique ct SocialeV The name of Louis Napoleon has not been pronounced since yesterday. A few crys of ' Vive BarLes !' were hearJ, but they were not general."

(From (lie Times, Tuesday, June 21.) The accounts Com our correspondents in Paris up to Sunday evening announce that the dehy allowed to the insurgents in the Faubourg St. Antuine to surrender having expired without any reply, the operations immediately comiueucedt The first barricade was vigourously attacked und cariied, but not without considerable slaughter on the aide of the assailants. Colonel Raynaud, ofihe4Bth Regiment of the line, and several other officer* were killed. General Bouquet, of tbe Eugineers, arrived at the Place de la Bastille at 12 with the Firemen and n battallion of Sappers. Spine houses were in an instant I 'town up, and several barricades thus turned were captured without loss. On some points the insurgents hid dug trenches, against whi h tbe artillery wns unavailable. They fiied fiom within, and, on the approach of the troops, escaped through passages opened in the cellars of the houses. A large body had sallied from the suburb towards noon, entered the iiland ot St. Louis, and formed a barricade on the Pont de Tournelles, which \va3 undergoing repairs. — They were there kept in check by troops stationed in the >vine stores on the opposite side, and were placed between two fires. The enclosure of St. Ltzare was re-occupied in the morning by the insurgents, who carried away ten small pieces of artillery belonging to the Chateau Rouge, which they loaded with stones and pieces of broken bottles. On the Quay de Id MegisBenesonie ruffians fired from a window on a battallion of troops of the line, and then escaped by a back door in the street. Others were, at the same time, erecting a barricade close by, in the Rue de iiethizy ; but a patrol of National Guards dispersed then™, and ihey fled, throwing away their arms. A battciyof artillery hid been placed on the hill of Montmartre, and measures adopted to prevent the insurgents from gaining possession of that important position. It appears certain that Count deNarbonne, formerly aide-dc camp of Charles IX., and his servant, who were arrested behind a barricade in the act of distributing money to the revolters, had both been shot in •he gardens of the Luxembourg by the National Guards. Forty-four other prisoners were said to have been put to death, in the Place de Grfive. It was impossible to foun an idea of the losses on both sides ; but, in the opinion of many, Paris had not witnessed such a scene of slaughter biuce the Massacre of St. Baitholomew. The following addresses, signed by General Cavaiguac, and pioclamation of the National Assembly, have been posted on the walls of Paris :—

" French .Republic. " liberty, equality, fraternity. " General Cavaignac, Chief of the Executive Government, to the Nationil Giurd. " Citizens, Your blood shall not have been shed in vain, Redouble jour efforts— lespond to my appeal, and order, thank? to you, and thanks to the assistance of your brothers of the army, shall be re established.

"Geneial Cavaignac, Delegate of the Executive Government- " Citizen's, you wi'l believe you are fighting in th<* interest ot the operatives. It is against them you are fighting. It is upon them alone will fall so much bloodshed. If such a contest could be prolonged, we should despair of the future pro pects o*" the Republic, of which you all wish to secure an irrevocable tiiumph. " In the name of the bleeding country— " In the name of the Republic jou are about to destroy— " In the name of labour, which you demand, and which has never been lefused to yon, disappoint the hopes of your common enemies, lay down your fratricide arms, and depend upon it that the Government, although it is not ignorant that there are criminal instigators in your ranks, know likewise that there are bi others amongst them who have been led astray, and whom it invites to the aims of the country.

"French Republic " ''liberty, equality, fraternity, " National Assembly. " National Guards,— \ on liave yes erilay q-'ive-j, and you cease not to fjiv c, extraoidinary proofs ot y tar dc« votiou to the Republic. " If we could for a moment find it necessary to ask ourselves what is the cause of the insunection which is covering our sheets with blood, and which has changed its Hag so frequently in eight days, no doubt can at present exist when the city is desolated by fne — • when the doctiines of Communism and excitement to pillage are audaciously promulgated on the bairicades. " No doubt hunger, distress, and want of employe ment, have assisted the insurrection. " But although there aie many unfortunate men amongst the insurgents who arc led nstray, the crime of those who seduce them, and the object they propose are at present exposed. They demand uottlic Republic — it is proda'ined. Universal suffrage— it has been fully admitted and practised. What then do they wish > It is now known. They wish for anarchy, fire, and pillage. " National Guards,-Let us all unite to defend and preserve our admirable capital.

(Fiom the Times, Wednesday, June 20.) We ii>uke the lollosvmg extracts ,i'rom our correspondent's letter, dated Monday morning, half-past ten :— " The fighting; is resumed. "A battalion of the 61st regiment of the line lias just passed along the Boulevards towards tha Faubonrg Sf. Antoine. I saw them marching in the same direction yesterday. The hectious numbered tweutyliVe men each. To-day they average eighteen. Never did mea deserve better of their country thau these brave fellows. The National Guardi of the Banlieu have acted nobly. Though not so early in the fight as the others, they have gloriously earned an, imperishable reputation. '• This will be a dieadfui day also. The insurgents are sure to be overpowered, but they fight yet with, desperation in the Faubourg St Antoine. It is but too possible that the humanity displayed by the National Guards, Mobiles, and troops, will have been, exhausted, and that terrible examples will be made. "Colonel Charbonael has been seveiely wounded, but is doing well, " It was reported thai the Archbishop of Paris was shot in the most cowaidly manner yesterday evening by the insurgents in Ihib attempt— currying a flag of truce— to induce them to surrender, bHt lam told he is not dead. " M. Louis Blanc wa« very nearly shot by thu National Guaras, on the Boulevarde de la Madeleine, who are much exasperate 1 against him. *' The Nationcl Guards are marching for the Faubourg St. Antoine, as well as more troops of the line. A convoy of ammunition and projtctiles has just passed, escorted by dragoonc Even an ordeiiy with, a letter h-»s an escort of eight or ten men The reason for this caution is, lint it is feared tlie insuigenti may attempt to ' run a muck' through the itreets, inurdci individual, und do other mischief. "Ii is stated that Geneial Laraoriciere was the first man who entered the courtyard of the Custom house stores in the Faubourg dv Temple, after the gates had been forced open by cannon shot. His horse was wounded by the fire of the insurgents, who lost a number of men at this point. "The Aationel announces the death of General Negricr: " General Chaibonners wouid, although severe, is not dangerous. " General Renault has been severely wounded. " General Deart is among th<j killed. *' Amongst the wounded is to be numbered M. Dehodcne, a young painter of talent, who«e name w-is mentiosed honorably at the l.st eijio.itiou of paintings. Whilst fighting in the lank, ot the National Guaid hi wus btiuok by » ball in ths U^ht arm, (rum whuh it has not yei b.en ex* racial." "The following isihe,6«cond letter ot our correspondent. " Paiis, Monday, June 26, 2 o'clock, p. m. " An officer d'oulonnance of one of the gcneials has just passed along the Boulevards, visiting the posts of Natioual Guards es abhslied at the corntis ol all the streets. He announced to them that although the National Guards, niooiles, and Hoops, had ohtainud the upper hand, all was not over, and they must mn,un on guard. " Baion James de Rothschild has however, since arrived. He came in las uniibun of hib Legion of

"liescive for another tune the sad details of (he loss of the brave inhabitants or l'aiis, ol ihe linn lieu, ot the dep ivtments, and of the auny ol France in these tlieudful days 'ihe cavalry and ailrllciy have sulfcied equally with the infonhy. Even the engineers Lave lost many men. To be jiiit, Geneial Cavaignac has been impartial in his distribution of danger, although some coips h -vc in spile of this, lost iniinitely more ihan their proper &h<iic. The havoc, among gencials a-id olirccn, has, moreovci. been incredibly beyond pioporuon. The hst ol casualties will prove a 'melancholy one. Those oi the National Guards, who wore decorations, like the officers, received a deadly piei'eicnce from their foes, whOie execrable conduct in mobt instances destroys the respect to which their courage might have entitled them. One reflection comes across every man's mind while thinking of this conflict. Had the Communists, Socialists, ami Sections succeeded, where should we all be now ? " Four o'clock. "Wounded men continue to be borne along the BouLvard. Another sad spectacle presented itself this forenoon. Some furniture vans passed by. filled with dead bodies. Tliey have just returned laden with wine, and preceded by others, filled with bread, for the combatants. " Covered and o l her spring 1 waggons are moving in every direction to transport the sick of the hospitals to other buildings, m order to mike room for the wounded. "lhereisno Bourse today." Our coi respondent in his letter of Monday morning, describing the conflicts of the day befoie f says,— "The oarricades at at the baiiies of Rochechouart, and, indeed, along the line of the outer Boulevard, were carried eaily in the afiernoon. It was proposed to biing cannon against the barricade Iloehechouart. •No, 1 said the National Guaids, 'we will storm it ' 'But the loss of life V ' What care we for the loss of lite I They (the insurgants) have not spared ouvs.' And it was stormed, and manfully stormed, and defended by ruffians who resisted to the l<st. "After the banicades had been earned by "the tioops, National Guards, and Mobiles, the Clos St. Lazare became the theatre of the fighting at this end of the metropolis. A great hospital in that square, which is not 5 et finished, became the citadel of the insurrection. The attack upon this stronghold and the defence were among the most dreadful incidents of this determined insmrcclion. It was canied at 3 o'clock. From thence until 9 o'clock the troops were engaged in sweeping the boulev<uds in ihe direction of tho Faubouig St. Antome. " In the vicinity of the house, on the Boulevard dv Temple, from which Fieschi fired on Louis Philippe, the insurgents fought with the most determined courage throughout the day. Not content with defending the positions in the Rue do Crussol and the Hue Menil Montard, they detei mined on a. sot tie, and debouching lrom those sticets spread ihemsel»es along theßoulevard to the Theatre de U Gaite fighting hand tohand with the troops, while their main body, sweeping by the Jaidin Tine, drove the National Guaids and troops l«ast the Card™ Bleu, into the Rue Carlot. Their success was of only briet duration. They weie diivtn back at the point of the bayonet, although they continued to lesist for Jiours aitciwards, were ultimately obliged to retieat "These arc a few of the incidents to show the detei mined desperate courage of the Section*, for it was they and the Socialists who hear contended, and the valour and constancy with which troop*, National Guards (of Palis and the provinces) and the Garde Mobile, repulsed, and in the end defeated them. "The banicade of the Banicr Rocheouavt which was defended lor so many horns, and which cost so many valuable live*, was commanded by M. la Roche (or La Eoque), the edi'or of the journal the Pare Duihcnte. He was summoned by a Garde Mobile to surrender, having lcfused, the Guard shot him in the head. At Oligancourt, the troops found a pail filled withtuipsntine and other inflammable nutter, and a syringe with which it was said the Communists were deteimincd to set fire to the houses in Paris after they had pillaged them The troops likewise discovered tho giocer who had supplied those materials, and were about to inflict summaiy justice on him when the unfortunate man supplicated them to spare his life, assuring them that he had been robbed of those articles, by an armed force, who broke into his house. The inflammable matter and apparatus have been lodged in the Marie of the second anondisement. •' In the Fuubourg dv Temple, the (female) keeper of a wine-shop is said to have infused arsenic in the wine she served to the poor soldiers. A person tells me he 6aw several of them fall from the effects of it. In the Rue dc Helder and m the neighbourhood of Notie Dame de Lorette, well dressed women were detected can yina: ball-catridges in their baskets. A man feigning to be wounded was carried on a mattress^ which was filled with gunpowder and ball, and some hearses were seized which contained powder and bill. "I am sorry to say, in shor% that treachery and cruelty have (this day particularly) characterized the warfare carried on by the insurgents. Not only did they in many instances butcher their prisoners with the atrocity of savages, but they, poisoned the wins and brandy srrved to the troopß, and poured vitriol out of the windows on the brave fellows who contended with them frankly and with good faith. A party cf dragoons were this morning lured into one of the streets off thu Faubourg St. Antoim 1 , and massacred by the monsters who filled the houses with it. " General Negrier, one of the Questors of the National Assembly, is, as you know, dead. He f> 11 gloriously. The following arc the particulars of the affair in which he loßtlns life :— " Yesterday evening after a sanguinary contest in the neighbourhood of the Hotfl de Ville, he marched by the Quay dcs Ormes at the head of a detachment of the 24th of the Line, with artillery and a bady of the Nrtronal Guards in the direction of the Pont Marie and the burrnck of ihe Cclestin?, which wa» occupied by theinsu-.entB. The General, accompanied by his aides-de-CHinp carried in succession a great number of barricades, and alter an obstinate r.s stance re-cap-tured the barracks, anddiove the insurgents from the corn stores, where they fixed thcmselvei } then, returning by the Boulevard Bourdon, he sent Commandant Boizarl of the National Guard to ordtr reinforcements, in order to rescue the upper part of ihe Rue St Anto'ne, from the insurgents, who were still in the neighbourhood of the church of St. Paul, when he was struck by a ball, at (he entrance of the Rue St. An tome, in front of the great barricade, which defended the entrme of the faubourg. General Charbonnel, a represeotß'ive of the people was severely wounded beside him."

Quken PoMAiu-. — La Ltbirlc '.tales that thp E\'ecutive Government has derided on the nbnndonmei.t of the Marqu sas Islands, wind) tost France so much blood and treasure. A brig Ihs been ordered to prepare to sail for tho>e inlands to bring back the French garnson, nn«l to offer Queen Pomaie a residence in France. It is believed ihat the Queen, at present, aeoustomeu to French manners, would quit her primi tive kmudom without regret, and would establish herself in France, with her court and those of her subjects who would consent to follow her fortunes. Death of Poor Tom Steele. — The purest, pcrhani indeed the only pure, spirit which the vile repeal ugHation produced, has passed away from amongst us. Poor Tom Steele is no more. What a fate was Ins ! Highly giftrd by nature, eminently distinguished at Cambridge University , with a buoyant sph it und an ample fortune, all shone brightly through the vhta before htm. Mark the sequel. With a broken spii it, nnd a broken henrt, and a broken tottune, he died almost deserted at an inn in London — a pauper, alas ! but not a beggar. He was a follower of O'Conndl in everything but that. When, in consequence of a late deplorable cttempt, his destitution was made known, many who differed from his opinions hastened to h>» relief, and in a few days contributions were poured in, which would soon have swelled into a fortune. There could have been no doubt about it. But Steele was not of Ireland's " mendicant patriots." His gratitude shed tears at the offer which his noble nature would not permit him to accept. The country which he loved, and that from which he sought to separate, strangely contrasted in their conduct towards him. Ireland gave him words — England deeds. Ireland took his life — Eugland gave him a grave. How bitter must have been the reflections of that death-bed ! Steele's great mistake was thi-,. Ui admonished by the fate of many who preceded him, he, a Protestant, wa^ credulous enough to put faith in Roman Catholic profes- • on«. The faction, as is their \vont t flaiteied him ay.d used him and neglected him. May his fale warn othetB- Poor fellow! what must have been his feelings, whm he found Lord Biou|ham, whom he had so often denoumed, hastening to his aid, and Colonel Percival, chief amongst the Oiangemen, watching by hii death-bed ! Fare tb.ee well, noble, honest, victimUed Tom Steele t A braver spirit, in a gentler heart, never left earth— let us humbly hope for that home where the weary find rest.— Standard.
