Oa the side of orSer more msn have falten than en tflat of the revolt . Tbere bsre been killed or wounded ten general oScers . distlsgulihed for their service ! and their courage . The Archbishop of Paris has been wennded—I fear mortally . Several representatives of { he people have JsIIee . Hnnfireds of efficers of all ranks of the army and of the National Gaard have teen killed erwonnded . Thonssuds of Kctloaal Ga&rdi and soldiers—10 , 000 , I Em Infenned—have lest their lives , or S 6 Te been woaaded In this frightful struggle . Every account I receive confirms tte statement I con-Teyefi to joa yesterday , that tbe loss of the jnsarg » nt » b » - , in no respect , tqaslled that of the troops , the Nat jscal G 8 ards , and the Garde Hohile . ( From the Daily Aeics . ) The dead , and the tying , and the wounded continue to psss in vsns ana on littsrg . Lsst night the inhabitaDts T ?« ra ordered to keep their windows iilnmiaattd inrinz the nicnt .
( From the Morning Adzertutr . ) Fear or fiTe of the members of the Assembly are &mopg thB killed , and about ai manj amoig the wounded . Fourteen general cfictrs have been put h $ rs it WitSxA , literei beicg killed . The loss in superior officers has been greater than in tfea most briUimt engegetaents daring the wars of Napoleon . I hear that the hsvoo has bsen beyond belief . A person who ha * peculiarly good mesni of informs 1 tion , assnred me lsst evening tint the losses of the troops and National Guards amounted to fifteen thousand . The tloofisbcd has besn fBr gresttrthauatWerssw iHlSSO . whEB 20 , 003 fell in the trenches . Tns billed tn-i wounded on both sides are eitimated at a quarter more then that .
Althongh the insurrection may be eonslder ^ d as ^ UElled , it is not expected that the c&pital will be altogether free from partial disturbance for mtnydsysto come . ( Froa the DaUy h ' nes ) It is impossible to concthe the i' . stB of tho Qaartier St Antoine . In the streets , mere th » n fifty houses are almost entirely destroyed by the artillery , end a much lsrg < T numter have suffered con « i € irably . At every huacreS pictsformidable barricades were coBetrnctcd , here with carriages , filled wish stones , there with paving stone ; , farther with trunks ef trees , and in Esms cases wife large ni 5 siones . On the Pisc = de la Ba » tille the disasters are ' not less . The column of Jaly has been irjared . The warehouse knows as La Belle Fermisre' is completely deefroyed ; two hcu-. es , which formed the angle of the Place de la Bastille and the Bus de la Riqaef . e , are it besp of tubbUh .
At two o'clock the pompiers wtrs employed to putont the fire which bad commenced in the ruins . TheFinsonrg St Antoiae presents a still more sinister asp ; ct . Tctre is not a home which has sot suffered more or less by the cannonade .

( From the Uorr . irg Herald . ) The free circulation throagh the streets of the capital was resumed on Tuesday , an 4 we wtro enabled to vi ^ it the te . ee of the 1 st * awful events . The Q lartier Latin , from the Rusde la Hstrpeto the Place Miubert , from the Hot .-1 Dieu to the extremity of the Faubourg Saint Hsrcean , is the part wfeich has mott luffered . It was there that the cmbat was most sanguin&rj , and tbe trsces of 'be emette sre horribly visible . The co ! onnndes of the Pintheon are Tery much battered ; the ei&tuse in the front are nanj of thsm destroyefl , and others much antilated . It was in front of this part that tbe formidable barricade which defended the approaches to the cfcnrch of St Etlenns du Hont was built , anfl nhich wss only demolished sfter a very severe can nraz&inr ;
In tne interior of the building the lells have destroyed two colossal staluss , one represeating tha 'E :-pablic , aai the other the genius of 'Immortality . ' Oceof the copies of a picture by Raphael has baenalso d : itr . iyed . The Church of StE&nne aleo bean marks of bails . The band of ths clock has been carried away . The Hue St JccquEi near tha Hue des Haihurias , and the Bridge of the Hottl Dieu present the most desolating aspect . Tbe frcat of e-. erj house if riddled with b ? . lls , bat thoss at the ead of the street are the msst aajured . In the Faubourg da Temple tho front * of many of the ¦ fcoases sre entirely b ? zten dawn ; the walls lean , ready Je fall iewn upon th » fonndatiens « f those houses where tba miae was cprdng . All al : ng the Bsnlerard from the Eaa ia Temple to the Bastille , tke houses , now being constructed on the Boalevird are much demaged .
At the piinti where t . e principil fisktiag took plscs , the window * of the honset are battered to pieces ; one osn ese al ? o tbe large mirrors in the frost rooms and the chandeliers smashed . Tne msrki of bells ar « visible on the walls . Such ii the scene I witnessed as far as the Bissille ; then mj progress was stopped by a com-T > any of the Gsrde Mobile , by tbe officer of wliioh I was informed tfeat admission to the Faubourg St Antoint w » s forbidden . He told mo that many of the konsei werg almost filled with dead , and others -with wounded ; & large number haa been almost razed to the ercuod .
Great alana still existed , end fears w ere entertained of fresh conspiracies . The houses in Paris were again ^ laminated on Toe * day eig ht for ths greater security of patrols , and the street ! were well guvded ; tat notwithttaEding tieie precautions some sestinels haibeen Sredat . The town was like a camp . Per&sas w * r <> till bring detected iec etly intro . 1 SBc . ln 3 e # maai # ja * ' o tin city .

T ; 6 ;? rday , when the National Quire ' s of Lille and Tours arrived on the Place de l'Assemblea Nationale , a woman , youBg and v ^ ry beautifully dressed , drew near a captain of drsgoons posted at the head of hit company , exactly opposite the palace , and fired off a pistol close upon him . The bullet merely grtreS hie regimentals . The woman was immediately appreneaded . Since tfee above was written , I lenrn Ifcei tte numbet of prisoners now amounts to 6 , 500 . They are represented in general as being under an impression that tkey will all be tbot . T&eir rallying sign wag 3 small osier wand that caefc of them kept concealed in Bit sleeve , those borne bv the chiefs were forked at the end . Evidence has been ob : ained that besides their general plan of operation , the insurgents had a molatisnary government read } organised .
The 9 th and 12 th legions of Natton . \ l Guards had teen £ isarm » d ( the 12 : h is Barbes'legion . ) I learn that a number of insurgents have taken refuge in the vaults under tbe Pjotheon Measures areadtpted to wall up all the avenneB leading from them . It is by no means itsprobable , bewever , that they will escape , fur the vaults ef the Pantheon communicate with the catacombs , fram which there are numerous isse- » . Oae of the insurgents who bad been taken to tbe Abbsye , boasts of having killed t-renty-two persons in the Faubourg St Jacques . He was accompanied by his wife snaehUd . One woman was shot on a barricade who had in he * hand a sabre , on the point of which she had stuck the head of an officer . Another woman , who cut off the head ofaeagtain , was ecnTEjed to tbe Abbaye .
Amongst the prisoners are the tambosr-mnjor of tha 12 ; h legion , ealled' le Profeiscnr Ats Barricades , ' a lleuttnant , and a ' sous-ofiuiTr' of the eamo Irgion . M , Canaigno , one of tbe editors of tbe Cohkckz , sad an associate of Sobrier , was arrested on Monday . U . Emile deQirargin is confined at thn Conciergerie , and plEc : d in stcxet corfiaexent . Even Mme . de Girardin could noi obtain permission to visit him . An appiieation for his being let out on bail has been mad a and refused . It is paid that numbers of bodies war , In the ob . scurity of the night , committed to the Sdce , partly not to add to ixciumtnt by the exhibition of so much slaughter .
The following is the number ef cases received in the various hospitals : — L 3 Cbarite ... ,,, J 20 Talde Grace ... ... 190 Hctal Dieu ... ... 400 Hospital Duboit ... ... 90 Clinique ... ... 78 Sa : nt Lssre ... ... 63 Saint Louis ... ... 500 lathis Kumlnr aeo not included fi great many CSSJS which were brought in , but where death took plate immediately after .
Funerals of Nations ! Guards and soldiers are en cnuBtjed eterjwfetre proceeding to the cemeteries , pre . ceded by the mafHed drum . It is customary feerc , as a mark of respect for tha dead , for the passer-by to step and uncover . I observed this usega of cuurse , but in oae case tVecScer commanding tbe escort desired me to cover , and show no mark of respect . On inquiring the cause of this , I found that the funeral was that of Larroque , one of tbe principal leaders of the iniurrec tion , the editor of tbe journal ealled Pees Dcchesne .
LATER PASTICDLAB 9 . ( From tho Tima ofTcursdey . ) I have juit returnei from e tour of the position of the in « urgents »> deemed on Sanday impregnable . I mean tho line of fortified barricade ! extending from the Faaboarg Poissoniers to La Cbapelle ( the Batricre St Denis ) . The position of tbe insurgents throughout tbe line I have mentiontd , was immensely strone . Tha barricades in advance of the barritrg we re as formidable 3 B regular
f DgmcerB conid ht > ve coo ; tructed . Tne iiouseB covtriRg them were occupied . The means of passing from one to another were assared . . The toll-hpuses at tha bar-Tiers were occupied by them and the windows removed , Tbe houses en tie opposite Bide of tho Boulevard were , moreover , in the ponesEion of the rebels , End masned with marktmin . What formed , however , the strength of their position , was . the perforation of the wall of the city , which is twelve or fourteen feet high , at intervals of tight or ten yard .-i . and tbe creation by that means of sevvral hundred meurlrieres ( loophole ?) .
Whin those who have been at Waterloo learn that for more than a mile the wall of the city of Paris was ss profusely furnished with loopholes as was the garden wall of Hoaguemont , they will easily imagine bow formidable was tke ebstacle it presented ; Ween they shall bt-ar in mind that the barricades in advance were c * m posed of paving stones of a hundred weight each , « r of tha cut stones for a hospital in process of erection , snd that they were protected by houses adjoining to or commanding them , and that as occasion presented itself throughout Saturday and Sunday a constant , unerring , and deadly fire was kept np on tbe assailants by an almost invisible garrison , they will not be surprised
at the pro . oDged resistance , nor at the immense loss of life amoag tne troops and National Guards that unfortunately occurred . What will be tbe astonishment of all the world , and the feelirg of all military men in particular , when they are told that the whole of the 8 e works were defended by between 89 aad 150 ruffians ! Tke l&rgest nnmber stated was 409 . Hotr many of theinnargentB were killed on Sunday at the BsrriEre Bochecbouart , think ycu . while the loss of tba armed force wss more than 1 , 000 ? Two—one of tbem shot through the brain while firing through s loophole not six inches in diameter . Fire were wounded .
Tbey ran fr ; m loophole to loophole with the egi'itj of monkies . They only left the cover of tho high wal to s ; ik smmnnition , of which they bad oc ! y a scanty and precarious supply . I was shown the mark cf the cruelbit : uadf r tke wall m which they melted lead / or bullets during the fight . They eren attempted to fabricate gun powder . Against these men wete brengbt es fine an army a&d as serviceable s park of artillery ai the world could preduce , an'inothiDg less wonld have snSced to dislodge them , unless their position csd been turaed , end they were attacked in the rear . Let n ? recollect , however ,
also that on the 600 otberpolntt of Paric the boops were occupied in contending with the rebMs at tbe same mi . meat , and hjw thig mast bare embsrrafsed the general , that the nsnal means of obtaining information Vfers not available , nor when information vtas obtained could it bs relied oa . When these facts shall be taken into coosidera'ion , there « ill not te to much surprise at the offensive ffforts of tbe rebels , who , comparatively few in nnmber , were intisately acquainted with tha ground , strongly fortified , and above all , supported by the sympathies and the poslthe co-operation of the whole population of the continuous line ef town that borders the enter Bjulerard .
This remark reminos me to explain that my information CBmefrom inhabitants of tbe districts In wbich the engagement ! toot place , End thtir estimate of the number of the ' workmen ' implied only those who were nonre « Uent » , but very many hnndrtda of their own neighbours aisietcd tbe insurgents in tbe combat in every possible way—at La Cbapelle in particular—bo that possibly as many mm as could have been brengbt into action , were positively engaged . It is a fact , indeed , that nine-tfntli of the population between , tha Barrltre Poissonniere 8 nd the Barriers St Denis were not merely frierdly to these rebeU , cr , as they call thorn , the ouvriers , but feugat in their ranksthe inhabitants of Li Cnapelle above all .
EPEBIELE BCTCHIIIES . Numbers ef prisoners who have attempted to make thtir eecspe , have been cruelly put to death bythetroopi end the National Guard . Numbers of insurgents were shot in the afternoon of Monday in the Faubourg Se Antoin ? . Thosa whose hands sm ? lt of gunpowder were put to death . It was also said that General Piat , their supposed commander , had been thot in the garden ef the Luxembourg . Gincral Cavaignac yesterday caaied the 8 tb , 9 tn , and 12 th Ifgiont of the National Oaird to be dUsrmcd . He did taere ; he disarmed the National Gawds of Bellevilla and ' the Cosrtille , ' and the disarmament of the population of La Chaptlle . After the legions were disarmed they were dissolved . Orders fcaro beta given to disarm the inhabitants of Uontmartre , and to effect another search is the quarries .

To their question as te whether the dissolution was to tok ^ place immediately , he hnd replied , 1 No ! ' ( Cries of 'Yes , yea !

This President then read some reports from the Prefect of Pu'ice , atating the progre-s of the conflict , Tho adjourned discussion on the Railway Bill then commencsd , toit presented coining of interest .
A trtmendoua fall of rain took place at this time , and continued for an heur ; it was then about four o ' clock . About a quarter past four a great movement was ma . nifest at the left entrance , and General Cavaliinsc appears ^ , folliWeA by a numerous staff , all af-paMnflj wet through and through . General Cavaiohac , Minliter of Wer , ascended the tribune , and said that the insurrection had nenrly been put down . Some resistance was made In tho Faubon'ff St Antoine , aBd the Rue St Jacques , but it would apparently be soon put down . The Executive Committee here entered tbe hall . onA Citizen Oaroler Pages having first appanred , a cry for him arose , and be proceeded to the tribune
Citizen GAKHtEB . PAOEs , who was in a otate of thgreatest excitement , said that the Executive Committ 6 e hid not been present at the slitting ; for ic was the moment for it io act , not to deliberate . In th » pre « ebce of an armed insurrection , whloh had krpt tbe capital In affright stneo tho morning , iD tbo presence of band * 0 ! iasurgents paid to excite sgitatiors against the Ilcpublx , ths Executlt-G Committee had to take measures to restore order .

Ho could declare that lta member * had done their duty —( cheers )—and that thty were fully prepared to assumo the responsibility both of what had been done find should be effected .
The Assembly wa » then declared en permanence , but tfee sAtinp was suspended until eight o ' clock .

Citizm CoirsiDEKANT : During the time tfcat thesittlrig was suspended , I have spoken to a number of persona who conversed with groups In various quarters whore the fighting ws 9 going on . These comnnmicntlonj bavp proved to me that tbere is a misapprehension on thopsrt of ihe insurgent population—( violent murmurB )—that a number of the men wero misled , and that a proceeding on tbe part of the Assembly could restore peace in the cspital . I have drawn up a proclamation , which I eub . mit to tbe Assembly , ( No , no . ) The Pbesident could not receive the proposition of Citizen Conslderant . No conditions could fee ceme to with insurgents , ( Hear , h > ar . )
Citizen Considebint ascended tbe tribune , but the tumult which arose was so great that it was Impossible for him to procure a hearing .

Citizen Senabd , the President , roae and said that he wished to infom the A'Btinbly of tho present gi-Rcrnl state of Paris . Ho reminded tho Assembly tbat at tbo morning sittiDg he had given satlafectory assurances thatou tho left bank of the Seine the ineurgents had besn disperecu , nud that orSor bad been re . eBtabliebcd , It wob true that at some of the . boulevards in tkat quarter , at sossc of tho barriers , and ev > . n in some parts « f the interior of the quarter , jeBterdaj in possession of cbo Insargents , some attempts bad been mide to raire freth barricades , but those 1 attempts bad teen quickly overcome , the parties attempting them bad been eaeily dispersed by the troops , and the barricaueu themselves
done away with . As to theposlilsn of the rlmht bank of the Seine , if not quite so conclusive or bo satisfactorr as that of the other , be could state that there aUo the caope of order was rapidly gaining on every point . In the Faubourg St AntoJne atveral barricades bad been taksn bv the militory , and tba iosurgents were hemmed in on all sides , and conld not obtain any succour . In several points tho struggle was Mill continued , bnt as far ob it had yet gone , tbe victory was on every point In favour of tho military . Tbe insurrection was losing its strongest positions ; and , therefore , he might say that the cause of order' vtaa there , as oh the other side , in a satlBfnctory Btatr .
The Bitting was suspended , cat was resumed at a quarter past throe ; Citizen Geo . Lafayette in tbe cbair . Citizen Dccoux : I yield to tbe wish of a great number of m > colleagues , and come to the tribnnc to inform yon of what I cave juit Bfiid to General Cavaignac . Everywhere the insurrection is . being put down . Tbe insurgents have yielded ground everywhere ; 5 , 000 stand cf arms have been taken . Ths Nsttocal Guard baa boc-n admirable in its conduct ; from bouse to bouea , with admirable instinct , It gained those whlcb commanded the insurgents , and by discharges of musketry , from above succeeded in swtcpicg them from their position . A Voics : Where ?
Citizen Dccorx : In-the Rue dn Fanbonrg du Templo . Tho engiuecra and tbe pompiers did excellent service , snd contributed much to produce tho result * h ! ch 1 now announce , Ia addition I have to state that the National Guard of St Donis , which before could not place itself in communication with those of Paris , have writtfn word to pay tbat they have now been ablo io effect that important object , and are masters of all tbe Intermediate ground . The National Guard of Montmartre makes a similar declaration , rmd states that tbe insurgents have been driven back in their Beighbourhoed . Ths National Guard of Paris , which yesterday seemed struck with stupor—»[ a dreadful uproar greeted this expression . A number ef represents tirea addressed the bon . gestleman In the strongest language of blame . He endeavoured , by word and gesture , to procure a hearing , bat in vain . At last tho whole of tbe Assembly rose with a ery of ' Vive la Girde Nationale !']
Citizen Decoox ; I regret the word Hupor which I used —( renewed agitation)—but I did not mean to express any mlstruot of tbat body , or to throw out any offensive insinuation against it . Ic i » certain that jCBttrday the National Guard did not much leave their bouses—that they kept at the corners of tho streets—( marks of great disapprobation)—did not , in fact , rally routd tbdr obiefs —( cries of 'Yes , y e » , they old' )—whereas to-day ihey responded with ce ' gerneia So tbe call made on them . A Votcis : They always do so . Citizen DccoDJt ; With their conduct o ( to-day everything is possible , and I can declare that , In a short time when , I cannot take oa mo to declare—the future prospects of the Reptsbllo and of order Trill be completely assured . ( Hoar , hear )
Citizen Ddclisc : I do not wish to drtell on the expression just employed , which certainly was unfortunate Tho National Guards and the Insurgents bad on both aides foug ht with teo much determination —( loud uproar ) — and courage , added the honourable gentleman —( the uproar continued—cries of ' begone , begone , ' ' Vive la Garde Rationale , *} Tbe cause of my ascending tbe tribune is manifesUoit' is to express my diteent from tbe expression which hashed ! mlfunderstood , nsnomember , I am oonTlccsd , could have hnd the slightest intention to wound the tuscepiibiUty of tho National Guard of Pam . ( Agitation continued to prevail . )
Tho Marquis dp . Lakocbejacquelih oald that he had no desire to proleng the discussion ; he came tbere with a feeling altogether patrlotio and fraternal . No one could in that Assembly claim a monopoly of regret far the blood tbat hdi beeathei .

The loss of life in the second day ' s combat appears rot to have been so great aa might have been expected , considering the resistance mada , particularly in tho houses of which tbe insurgents had taken possession , and from which thry fired upon the troops . After tbe takin g of tho barricades , the insurgents wero attacked with great vigour in the houses , and eight hundred at rest 8 are said to have been made . Among them were several women armed with poniarde .
BOHEMIA . IHE BOMBARDMENT CV PBAOUB . Prague \ a & heap of ashes . The cannon never ceased vomiting destruction upon the ill-fated titj during thetwhole of the 16 th ult . The ( slaughter has , accordins to all accounts , been fearful . The Lkipzic G ^ izbitb brings the news up to tbe eve of the lG [ , h . Tee details are interesting ;—On the 13 th , at mid-day , the military had completely tbe upper band , and Princo Wlndischgratz determined to restnre tbe comn unications between the old and new totrfli For tbis purpose he caused the chain bridges over the Moldau , wbich bad been broken , to be repaired , and tbe barricadca on the leaser Ride to be taken by storm . In this nffair several of the troops were killed ,
being shot from the neighbouring windows . Tha fight * Ing here , lasted till Ms o ' . 'lock in tha uft . moon , when the Czech party d . manred a parley , and hopes wero held out that tUo ptu ^ en'B and the peopto would lay dbwa their arms , Tha Cz : chs however , required < hat F .-inco Win ^ . iscbRrati and the military ahoHld leave the city ; cod . srqnontly every idea of accommodation waa abandoned , Tbe rumour web spread oa the night of tbe 13 ih thai thcro wo'ild bo ft general attack on all tbe German in . habitants of tbe town , Great fright was cauied by this , and w \ ola families might be Been fl ; ing through the sates of the cltj , leavirjg tbeir oil behind . A'ter tha breaking eff the parley tbe people retired to Podskal , where they concentrated themselves , ond where tfat Jsgrrg and huiiars followed them , to attack them . There a terrible elaughttr ensued on both aides ; twenty , six bnasars were thrown isto the Moldaa by the people .
and the battle lasted until the llih of Jone , at half , past n ne . On that day General Count Mensc ' orff arrived from Vienna , in order to assume ths command-iu-cWef , in the hope that as the Bohemians setrn to hava taken a vehement dislike to Prince Windiscbgratz , the assump . t ! on of oon > mund by Menedurft mi (? bt restore peace . Tbls was , however , a vaiu bope ; tl .-e tumult Increased every moment , the fight waa renewed , and the Cs ? ch party obtained posBc 8 sion of tbe town . Prince Win * dlSChgratz then abandoned the town with Iho military , and retired to the heights round the city , from thence to bombard the town . Tbe Lorerjz : mberg , tho Mtrieaschanza , and the ZUoaberj were occupied with cannon ; flOJ the Ckm enSinnto , Carolinuro , and Thereslanum strongly cannonaded . Such was the state cf af . fairs on the morning cf the ICih to which date . ur ac . counts reach . C ? unt Leo Tnun bad bten obliged to fly
ia tne di » guise of a servant . Another account describes the Btate of the city as terrible . The cannon were still playing npoa the city from tho St Loreczenberg and Wischerad , the Jesuiten-strasse was in flameB , whole streets were ia ruins . The son of Prince Wiodischgra ' z died of his wounds on tbe 16 tb . The fury 6 f the Czechs knew no bounds . No quarter waa asked and none given . Each man foujiht for life and death . The Hambuboh Borsbhhallb says , that the dead bodies are rotting in tho streets without burial .
A letter from Dresden of the 19 ; h ult , in theBame paper , states that tbe insurgents at Pracne have capifrulated . They were ( successfully intimidated by tha effect of a preliminary and partial bnmiwdnient on the 16 t 5 i , and consented to pive up thirteen of their lenders as hostages for their Rood b ? haviow . The troops took possession of the Abtadt . The atn * Jettj and thdr associates are asserted to bare laid down their arms , the barricades are being removed , and great zeal is shown to restore quiet and order .
