LATE & IMPORTANT
. FOREIGN NEWS.
The ship Clematis, Holmes, has arrived at
Doston, bringing Paris papers to the 26th July.
They contain the important nctvs of the dis
solution of the neivfy elected Chamber of De
puties—the suspension of the law of the li
berty of the press bv an ordinance of the King,
and a prohibition of all periodical publications
ond works of less than twenty sheets, without
previous authorization; further particulars rn-
lauve to the African expedition, and other ar
ticles of news of considerable interest.
Cap!. Holmes reports that the measures
adopted by the French government, produced,
..* might be expected, very great excitement,
mid France nppeared to he on tho eve of a re
volution. It appears from one of the papers,
»hut there was an the 25th, a vague rumor of
-.pc impending measures, hut nothing was
known certainly respecting them until the or
dinance* nppeared in tho Monileur of the 26th.

TSo Monileur of to-day has struck a blow

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.
JV'rte York, Sept. 3.—Tbo packet ship ..Ill-
hernia, Capt. Maxwell, announced ns being
in thooffing yesterday, has brought tho Editors
ofthe Commercial Advertiser their London
pnpers to the 3d nf August, and Liverpool to
tho 4th, both inclusive.
It wns evident from the complexion of tho
foreign advices yesterday, that a crisis was
near nt hind in France. Still we had no idea
that the gathering tempest wns so soon to
break upon us. But the explosion has fallen
upon the startled ear quick ns the thunder crash
follows the blaze of tho lightning. Another
agony has begun. Tlie streets of the French
capital have again been deluged with blood.
Charles X. has caused to roign. Tho haugh

again nt the head of tho National Army, nnd
France reposes onro more in tho nrms of her

DETAILS OF THE LATE CONFLICTS IN PARIS.
Paris, July 30—A postscript to my private
note to you on Tuesday evening, was couched
in these terms : “ Wo aro in for a revolution.”
I wrote you two notes on Wednesday, but I
have every reason to believe they were de
stroyed.
On Tuesday evening, matters began to
wear a very serious aspect. The gendarmes
posted on the Placo du Palais Koval, wore
incessantly attacked bv what you iii London
would cnll a mob of dandies, with a persever
ance nnd n desperation, of which nil the riots,
revolts, tumults, or revolutions of England af
ford no example.
Determined, as some imagined the gendar
mes to bo at that time, I fanned 1 saw thus
early symptoms of fear and indecision among
them. Still they /ought with certainty nnd
desperation; but every monient their nsioilnnts
were re inforced hy boys, workmen, clerks,
students^ coachmen, and in short all classes.
Tho firing became every moment moro sharp.
I returned home, and after dinner was ma
king my way again to the Palais Royal, when
|l met u band of pea in the Ruo Vivienne;
they would not he allowed to act, nnd suffered
themselves to be disarmed
I.alcr all the armourers’ shops in Paris
were attacked, and every weapon carried off.
At cloven o’clock comparative quiet reigned
throughout Paris; hut tho nature of such a
calm could not bo misunderstood. At four
o'clock in the morning tho people began to as
semble at many points, principally in the Rue
St. Ilonnre. The well-dressed mob of the
preceding day re-nppeared and re-inforced, but
were outnumbered bv the terrible men from
the Faubourgs of St. Atitoino and Marceau
The Tuileries were approached, but no act of
hostility occurred up to ten o’clock. In the
mean while the brave of the ci-devant Garde
Nationnle began to Assemble on the Boule
vards, in the Place de Grove, and in other
places, with tho cortainty of death if defeated.
At the same moment a new and most impor
tant incident occurred. The students of the
Ecolo Polytechnique, having been dismissed
without their swords (lads of from fifteen to
twenty-three years of age,) joined the people
nearly to a man, then separated, proceeding
singly to different parts to take command of
tho people, or rather to receive it from them;
nnd nobly did they repay the confidence so
placed in thorn.. It) an hour an immense force
was brought to bear off soveral points. Tho
Hotel de Villc wns attacked, carried, and be*
came the point d’ appui. The depot of ar
tillery in the Ruo du Bac (St. Thomas d’-
Aquin) was equally carried, and the cannon
carried off to. the most important points, and
worked with amnzing coolness and effect for
twelve hours by those heroic youths. The
Tuilerics were attacked, and defended by the
3d Regiment of the Gardo Royale (all of whom
were Vcndenns;) they were tho first soldiers
who fired on the people on Wednesday. Early
in the dnv the Sopeurs Pompiers surrendered
A largo proportion of the gendarmes soon af
terwards followed their example. I should
have said earlier that the whole garrison of
Paris had been ordered out ou the preceding
night. The 5th Regiment wore ordered
” Make Ready I” “ Present!” and they turned
tlinir pieces On thoir Gel—not, t.-nifing with sin
gular coolnoss for the word “ Fire !” That of
ficer'immediately broke his sword upon his
knee, tore off his epaulettes, and retired. The
people threw themselves into the arms of the
soldiers, who received their embrace, but
maintained their position. “ Vive la ligne!”
(regiments of tho lmo) wns, in consequence
during the night, and ever since, a constant
exclamation with the people.
At ten o’clock I wont to th" Place du Ca
rousal. In tho Rue Richelieu, and nil the
neighborhood ofthe Rue St. Honore, tho par
ties were en face. Tho third Guards main
tainrd tho appearance of determination to
fight. The people were accumulating fright
fully. Not a word was spoken. The garden
oftjio Tuilerics was closed. In the place du
Carousal 1. found three squadrons of Lancers
of the Garde Royale, a battalion of the 3d Re-
gimmif’of the GnrJc, and a battery of six pie
ceS, nl»o of thaV'Gnrdo. The Tuileries and
nuvfe were occupied hy n regiment of Swiss
Guard*.. * Thay itave perished!
A few Xofrfiettf of iho Gardo were eating
their breakfast—all the rest, to whom I have
referred, were on the qui live, ready to mount
or fall in.
I passed on to the Quai dtt Louvre. The
Pont des Arts (a wooden bridge for foot pas
sengers opposite the Louvre,) nnd the Palace
of the Institute wero so crowded, that I turned
fortunately, to the Point Royal, At that mo
ment a dreadful tir-illado was heard in the di
rection of tho Plnce do Grevo. It was nn-
swerod by a tolling fire in every direction, and
in five minutes fifteen thousand of the finest
troops in the world found themselves engaged
with citizens variously armed. Here was
small party of elderly men, National Guards,
who, with t» Mug froid only equalled by that
of the beardless students of the Polytechnic
School, opened their fire on the Garde Roy
ale—horse and foot, nnd artillery, French and
Swiss—taking especial care to avoid injuring
the regiments ofthe line, who remained grave
spectators of tho slaughter that ensued. In
another direction might be seen the ferocious
Fcderes of the quarters St. Antoine nnd Mar
ceau. with their pikes of 1815, or other less
terrible looking wcapons-thousands of women
and unarmed people looking on and encoura
ging the popular party.
For ten hours ilia war raged incessantly
On every hand, without intermission, musket
ry rolled, cannons thend-'red, shouts and cries
were heard. I proceeded to a remote quarter
of tho town, which I found quiet as on ordina
ry occasions.
I had sat for two hours, at n window over
looking the eity, with a Colonel ofthe Impe
rial Old Guard. The first words burst from
his lips with n tono of triumph—“ Nous tygon*
un poit d’appui la.”
The Hotel de Ville had surrendered. The
line fired no shot during the day. The 53d
refused to act. The ronnoniers of the Guard
gave their pieces an angle of elevation which
spared assailants uho spared not them, for the
intention was not ascertained.'
The cavalry were cut up in a hundred char
ges.
The tri-coloured flag soon floated on the
tower of the Hotel de Ville. and on those of
the Cathedral (Notre Dame.)
I am obliged to suspend details from hurry
On Tuesday night Princo Polignac narrow
ly escaped being made prisoner. His house
was roughly handled. On Wednesday night
the celebrated Abbe de Frayscnous (Bishop of
Hcrmopolis) was arrested, I am assured. All
tho Priests disappeared during that day.
The Ministers all ran off, save Debelleme,
who was thrown into prison for allowing some
ofthe journnls to be printed.
At 10 o’clock tho Tuillorics nnd Louvre
still held out, hat at that moment I sawmarch
along the Boulevard part of a regiment of La
ncers, whose appearance indicated extreme
fatigue. They were quickly followed by a immense,
portion of a regiment of infantry of the Guard.
A regiment (or the remains of a regiment)
of Cuirassiers, mixed up with Gendarmes de
Chnsse n«Xl followed—Ihe horses cut up, nnd
the men fainting.—l.ustly, a portion of a regi
meat of the line followed with a melancholy
air. The remainder of tho three regiments
first mentioned were dead; the survivors, with
some soldiers of a regimont of the line were
on their wny to join the King nt St. Cloud,
where they arrived in a most confused state
yestordov.
The attack on the Louvre nnd Tuillcries
was renewod yesterday, and with success, but
with great slaughter. The Palace was pilla
ged. The different barracks of the unhappy
Swiss Guards were Carried in the course of
the day, and the Swiss (having refused to sur
render) cut to pieces. A regiment of Hussar*
ofthe Guard marched in from Orleans yester
day morning, but hearing of the retreat uf
those above mentioned, they halted in the
Place Louis XVI., and in the course of the
day retreated upon St. Cloud, receiving a hea
vy fire on their wny. The tri-coloured flag
waved once more over all the public monu
ments. The joy was universal.
The appointment of General I.n Fnyettc to
the command of tho National Guard was a
happy circumstance; 80,000 will be organized
to.night. At this instant the disarming of the
rabble is in progress. There is a large boat
at this moment receiving the mulancholy
freight of dead from the Palace of the Louvre.
The Due d’Orleans will be king. His son
is marching to Paris in aid of the Bourgeois,
at the head of his regiment of Hussars. Ge
neral Gerard is at the head of the armed force
under La Fayette. The Royal emblems nnd
every mention of Royalty have disappeared
every whore. The King of France, whosoev
er ho shall be, must be a very limited Mon
arch to receive the approbation of (he people.
Napoleon II. is in tho mouths of all the
lower orders.
The newspapers will give you other parti
culars.
The troops aro assembling in the Plnce du
Carousel, to inarch upon St. Cloud—but there
will be little fighting. t
At the moment I write, there are playcards
posted, with those words—“ No more Bour-
bous!”
July 31—This is surely the most extraordi-
ary nation on ihe face of the earth. Tho day
before yesterday Paris was filled with 150,000
men engaged in mortal combat. Yesterday
morning all was calm. Tho military service
was performed with order and precision by
100,000 men, who nover before this week fi
gured ns soldiers. A decent gravity reigned
every where during the day. At every in
stant were to bo mot men carrying on biors
such of the wounded as could be transported
to the hospitals with safety; 1500 of all parties
are in the Hotel Dieu alone. The dead were
also honorably disposed of. The number in
tho Louvre was immenso. Eighty were borne
to a spot opposite the eastern gate yesterday,
and buried with military honors. Nearly as
many were put on bonrd a lighter, and brought
down the Seine to the Champ do Mars, and
there appropriately interred. A considerable
number, among whom wero four Englishmen,
who fell on the preceding day, were buried in
the Marche dos Innoccns.
The evening was, if possible, more interest
ing and imposing. Already had the princi
pal portion of the Gurde Nationalc been re
organised, and with “ the people,” tho persons
dignified by the superior orders as canaille,
been put in possession of all the military posts
of the metropolis, and occupied them with the
air of veterans. Along the quays nnd streets
tho female inhabitants were to be seen seated
in groups preparing bandages and lint for the
wounded. The passages (arcados) afforded
instances of this benevolent disposition. All
the milliners, nnd their shopwomen nnd work
women, were to be seen sitting outside their
shops, (because those, being closed, afforded
no light,) busily engaged in making list.
Paris is so fortified interiorly, that a million
of men would hardly sulfice to dhrry it. I for
get how many thousand streets ii contains,
hut every street of them is capable of long and
protracted defence—tho means for which,
however. I do not feel at liberty to describe.
The Ecole Mililuire surrendered yesterday.
The artillery from Vincennes marched upon
St. Cloud. The fortress itself remains in pos
session of the King’s troops. The Due de
Bordeaux is said to be there. Poor child! I am
sure he would not be itiolested. If menaced,
he would certainly be preserved by the Garde
Nutionale, at the expense of their lives—yen,
even the commonest labourer would answer
for liia safety, if he were thrown upon him for
protection. The Priests had all disappeared,
or, if visible, were disguised. The Provision
al Government caused them to bo informed
that they were under the protection of the na
tion, and might resume their functions in secu
rity. They have, in consequence, ell return
ed to their churches end houses. A large
force assembled at St. Cloud, with the inten
tion, it i* said, of remaining there. They do
no.t intend attacking Paris, it is believed, but.
if attacked, they will fight. They ott u .
Meudon and Mount Valerien, (the hcicln ,
the right and left of St. Cloud.) Several
dred soldiers of the Regiment of the Guard at
said to have left their regiments within the, 6 '
two days, and are to be met with in Paris, W ith
their moustaches shaven off. ' 1 ‘
The number of men under arms this d av j«.
comparatively small. The chateau of’t|, e
Tuilleries remains in tho hands of the |, rav(
fellows who'look it. They are principally 0) -
the working classes, and on Thursduy niglg
presented a most grotesque appearance
Among'them a re four Irish mechanics, who ifi
ri\ed “ fortunately” in Paris, “ that very day "
on their way to Charenton. The thing ^
not to be withstood, so in they went with‘‘ th t
boys.”
The loss of both parlies on Thursday was
mense. It was evident to every man wlit-
saw them that tiie French troops were deject,
rd. Somo of them had not tasted food fo.
thirty hours. They fought, moreover, again*-
their own countrymen. The poor Swiss bad
still moro cause (or dojection, for they npprei
hended that no quarter would be shown them.
They were wrong, fiv the lives of all who s Ur '
rendered were spared. The people fought
like lions.
At one point, a woman, in the costume o*
her sex, headed the Bourgeois, and was the
boldest of the combatants. A woman dress-
ed in man’s clothe's, fought at the attack or,
the Swiss barracks, in tho Rue Phimet. The
3d Regiment of the Guard, {Yendeans,}
fought with extraordinary bravery nnd deyo-
tion. Many of the Cuirassiers surrendered
their swords. The Lancers of the Guard—
tbo finest body of men in the country—fonght
with heroism and constancy, hut were dread-
fully cut up. Many of them (private soldiers)
were young men nf family- The manner in
which the Swiss fought, and the natute ofthe
engagement, may he taken from the following
instnneo : A company of them defended one
portion of Ihe Rue St. llonorc. They wore
reduced to sixty when I saw them, and I'ougtx
in three linns of single files. The people oc
cupied tho whole breadth of the struct io front
of them. The foremost Swiss soldier would
fire, or attempt to fire, nnd would fall pierced
with balls before he could wheel to gain the
rear. The same occurred to the next, and so
on until they had every one fallen. The con*
tost here, at the Louvre, tho Tuilleries, and
at the Place de Greve, was maintained with
the most deadly obsfinucy. The Rue St
Honore, for two days, was a perpetual scene
of slaughter. There may be counted in the
front of a house, which forms the corner of the
streets de Rohan and St. Honore, five thou
sand shot holes. Tho Louvre (except thr.
Picture Gallery—what a nation!) was- on a!!
sides attacked and defended nt the same mo
ment, and for hours. In the Court of the
Lonvre a fiold-piece was planted, which com-'
mandnd the Pont des Arts, being exactly op.
posile tho Institute. Here the fighting was
so dreadful, and so maintained, that Ihe'fronf
of the Palace of the Insli-'ute is speckled with
musket nmf grape shot. One cannonball np-
pears only to have been fired. It has smash*
ed a portion of the wall, and, from iis elcv.tion,
must have caused dreadful execution ia
sweeping the bridge. The attack on the
Tuilleries was not of ns long duration; it was
over in two or three hours. A young fellow
marched on with a tri-coloured flag at the'
head of the attacking Bourgeois. A thousand
balls, fired from tbo front of tho Chateau,
whistled by him without tnurhing him. He
continued to march with sangfroid, bat with
at tho same time, an air of importance, up to-
tho triumphal arch, and remained there until
tho end of the battle.
The neighborhood of the Hotel dc Ville
was Iho theatre of n still more dreadful conflict.
The people orenpied tlm Quni Pellerleir and
the Place do Greve. Aftor n most sanguina
ry struggle, they were slowly beaten from the
Quay into tho Place, which, with the Hotel dc
Ville, they maintained - against some nf the fi
nest troops in the universe throughout the day-,
nnd until those troops rctrented.
The Lieiitennncv of the Kingdom is offer
ed to the Due d’Orleans. The King is said
to have gone to Lille. All the emblems o'
Royally ure removed, and the names of streets-
referring to it are expunged. Tlm Deputies
arc again assembled this moment nt La Fine’s ■
Several of the officers of the Garde Royale
who fought on Wednesday have resigned their
commissions; amongst others, Count (I think;
Latour du Pin, giving ns his reason his ob
jection to fight against his coiintrvinon.
The shops are still very generally closed,
notwithstanding the proclamation of the muni
cipality, As you may suppo-e much distress
would bo felt by the people, (heing all unem
ployed) had not arrangements been made for
their subsistence.
The order that prevails reflects upon the
people and their Chiefs the highest honour.
Thu National Guard will have immortalized
itself by its exemplary conduct in protecting
persons nnd properly from possible injury.
To the credit of the Parisians be it known,
that, amid all their excitement, no foreigner
has been insulted.
Money is not to be had. The nioncy-clian-
gers havo all disappeared, so that foreign coin,
or secunties, cannot be turned into Frnncli
specie.
On the evening of Wednesday, an Eagle-
(of one of Napoleon’s old regiments) <vas
mounted over the triumphal arch in the Place
du Carousal, together with iho tri-coloured
flag. The flag remains, but the Eogle ha*-
been taken down. Thu tri-coloured cockade,
or breast-knot is general, not only among the
French, but Russians, English, Germans
Danes, and other foreigners.
