SATURDAY.

The revolution which is running its rapid course in Paris supersedes every other topic in London. We have this morning fuller and later ac- counts, though still confused and incomplete. We put together the best narrative the materials supply.

The tumult continued on Wednesday afternoon; a moment's lull creating very little hope of final quiet. At three o'clock, M. Rambuteau, Pre- fect of the Seine, waited upon King Louis Philippe, to inform him that the Municipal Council had decided on demanding the resignation of the Minis- try. The King immediately convoked a Council of Ministers, and brought the subject before them. The Ministers replied, " Sire, renvoyez-nous." Having accepted their resignation, the King sent for M. Mold; who replied, says one account, that he accepted of the Ministate de temente; but accord- ing to another story, he declined. This appears doubtful; but his attempt to establish a Ministry seems to have fallen to the ground.

Meanwhile, the city remained in the same state of rebellious anarchy—a wild scene of barricades, bloodstained pavement, " fraternizing " National Guards, armed mobs, and terror in every shape. The conflict was renewed at night; and the scene which immediately provoked it is graphically de- scribed by an eye-witness, the reporter of the Times- " About half-past seven, the Boulevard being then crowded, there arrived a co- lumn of the combatants, many of them armed with muskets, and singing the Marseillaise and the chorus of the Girondins which I bare so often mentioned. They were received with uproarious felicitations by the people, and proceeded to the office of the National, which seems to be the organ of this formidable opposi- tion. They demanded that the editors see that their liberties were not ' again' played with. M. Marrast, principal editor of the National, harangued them from the balcony; and assured them that their liberties would this time be secured. This scene was repeated six times during the night. "At ten o'clock, a column of GOO or 800 people of all ranks, who had been fighting, passed up the Boulevard. Among them were evidently many of the Commtunstes, and, possibly, some of those malefactors who will mix in all popular movements. The bearing and attitude of this column was terrible. The subsequent act of one of the party Justified the apprehension which their appear ace suggest ed. Although M. Guizot had retir from the Ministry, the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres remained occupied and guarded by troops. Ay man walked up to the officer in command, and blew his brains out with a Seeing him fall, his soldiers, without orders, fired on the people;-ef whom our or five were killed." The noise of this discharge was fatal to the new calm, and the next scene was ominous. " The buzz of an approaching multitude coming from the Boule- vard des Capucines was heard, and a low song of death, ' Alourir pour is patrie' was chanted by the throng instead of the victorious Marseillaise. Mingled with this awful and imposing chorus, the noise of wheels could be heard. A large body of the people slowly advanced. Four in front carried torches. Behind them came an open cart surrounded by torch-bearers. The light was strong, and discovered four or five dead bodies, partly undressed, which appeared to have been carefully ranged in the cart. When the head of the column reached the corner of the Rae Lepelletier, the song was changed to a burst of fury, which will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it. The procession halted at the office of the National, and the whole party burst into a unanimous shriek or cry of Ven- geance!' You know how sonorous is that word when pronounced in French. The

dead bodies in the cart were those of the men who fell under the fire of the sol- diers above-mentioned."

" The vehicle," says the Re; forme, was surrounded by people who were weep- ing and full of indignation, and who showed us the bloody bodies, crying, They are assassins who have slain them! We will avenge them ! Give us arms!— arms!' The torches, casting their glare by turns on the bodies and on the people, added to the violent emotions of the scene. M. Gamier Pages, being at that moment in the offices of the National, addressed the people. He promised that he would employ his efforts to obtain for the people thus attacked the satis- faction which is required from these impious and atrocious Ministers. The funeral train left our offices, conducted and lighted in the same manner: they conveyed the bodies to distant quarters."

The revolutionary storm again rose, loud and violent. The night was one of immense activity. Barricades were raised at the corner of every street. One of prodigious strength was built at the end of the Rue Richelieu. Every tree on the whole line of the Boulevards has been felled for use in the barriers. Here are two night scenes-

" A significant occurrence took place in the Boulevard des Italiens: three regi- ments of the line, armed to the teeth, preceded by five hundred National Guards, a regiment of Cuirassiers, three field-pieces and three caissons of ammunition, appeared. The people coolly stopped and unharnessed the horses, and opened the caissons and distributed the ammunition. Numbers then mounted astride the guns, and were dragged off by their comrades in derisive triumph; the Line troops, the Guards, and the people, fraternizing with enthusiasm. "The inhabitants were politely conducted to their residences. Fires were lighted for the bivouac. In the Rue Rambuteau' the people carrying torches knocked at the doors until some one answered. They then cried, Have you arms ? " Yes." Then give them.' When the arms were given, the people wrote on the doors, ' On a donne lea armes."

In the evening a deputation of the insurgents waited on M. Odilon Bar- rot; who received them as a recognized leader, and complimented them on emulating the courage of their fathers and of 1830. Late on Wednesday night, the King sent for M. Thiers to the Palace of the Tuileries, and asked him to form a Ministry. M. Thiers undertook to submit the list of a new Cabinet; making a proviso, however, that he might be permitted to join with him, as one of his colleagues, M. Odilon Barrot. To this the King acceded. Early on Thursday morning, it was announced that the Ministry had been formed. About eight o'clock, M. Thiers was traversing the streets, accompanied by M. Duvergier d Hauranne, M. de Remusat, the Prince de Is Moskowa, and other members of the Opposition. He was followed by cries of " Vivo la Reforme I " " Yes, yes," said M. Thiers; " you shall have it." " Empechez an moins," cried others, "lea coups de fusil!" which was also responded to affirmatively by the group of Deputies. Subsequently, the following proclamation was posted at the Bourse- " Orders have been given to cease firing everywhere. We havejust been charged by the King to form a Ministry. The Chamber will be dissolved, and an appeal made to the country. General Lamoriciere has been appointed Com- mandant of the National Guards.

THIEns, ODILON HARROT, HUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, LASIORICLtRE',

These concessions did not suffice. The tumult again swelled with in- creasing violence; and the narrative again becomes correspondingly imper- fect and confused, the most prominent incidents alone appearing. The prisons of the Abbaye and the Conseils de Guerre were thrown open, and the prisoners set at large. The furniture of the prisons was heaped in the street and consumed in an immense bonfire. The Palace of the Tuileries was evacuated by the troops. The people immediately occupied it, and made utter wreck of its contents. The throne was borne aloft from the building, carried in procession through the streets, and at last smashed to pieces. The tricoloured flag was superseded by a red one. The appearance of Paris at this moment was frightful- " The people have vented their fury on the balustrades of the Rue Basse du Rempart opposite M. Guizot's, and threatened to destroy the street on account of the blood spilt there last night. The hotel is turned into an ambulance for the wounded; and the people, dipping their fingers in the blood, have written along the walls A mart Guizol 1' There are barricades all along the Boulevards, mostly unfinished, as the battle was over in an hour and a half." [In these accounts, of course, there are no details of many violences committed at a distance from the centres of revolt. One indication is the fact that all the railway stations have been occupied, and the rails have been torn up in places, so as to stop the concentration of more troops on Paris. The provincial mails have thus been turned back.] At two o'clock, a proclamation appeared, signed by the Minister of the Interior, M. Odilon Barret, stating, inter ells- " Citizens of Paris—The King has abdicated. The crown, bestowed by the Revolution of July, is now placed on the head of a child, protected by his mother. They are both under the safeguard of the honour and courage of the Parisian population. All cause of division amongst us has ceased to exist." The scene now shifts to the Chamber of Deputies. M. Sauzet had taken the chair at one o'clock, in presence of 300 Deputies. The Dutchess of Orleans and her two sons were announced: the Count of Paris entered first, led by a Deputy; presently the Dutchess and the other Prince entered and took seats; the Dukes of Nemours and Montpensier accompanying. The Chamber was then forcibly entered by National Guards and men of the people. The greatest agitation and uproar prevailed; and when silence was restored, M. Dupin rose and announced to the assembly that the King bad abdicated in fa- vour of his grandson, and conferred the Regency on the Datchess of Orleans. " A voice from the public gallery—' It is too late !' " An indescribable scene of tumult ensued. A number of Deputies collected sound the Dutchess and her children and the Dukes of Nemours and Montpensier. National Guards also rallied round the Royal Family. "

"M. Marie then ascended the tribune, without being able to speak, his voice being drowned by deafening cries. When silence was restored, M. Marie said, that in the critical situation in which the capital was placed, it was urgently necessary to adopt some measures calculated to calm the population. Since morning, the evil had made immense progress. Should they proclaim the Duke de Nemours or the Dutchess of Orleans Regent? M. Cremieux, who followed, was of opinion to up- hold the new Government M. Genoude thought that an appeal ought to be ad- dressed to the people. M. Odilon Barret next ascended the tribune, and advo- cated the rights of the Dutchess of Orleans. M. Larochejaquehn supported the appeal to the people. M. Lamartine and M. Ledru Rollin insisted on the necessity -a appointing a Provisional Government M. Sauzet here put on his hat, and °wended the sitting. The Princes retired, followed by all the Members of the Ventre, those of the Left alone remaining in the Hall.

" The insurgents then called or rather carried M. Dupont de I'Eure to the Presi- dential chair. The tribune and all the seats were occupied by the people and National Guards; and the names of the following members of the Provisional Gorernmant were proclaimed, amidst a scene which has not been witnessed since the Convention-- Gamier Pages, Ledru Rollin, Amer% Lamartine, Marie, Cremieux.

" This list was received with cries of Vive to Ripubliquel and the Assembly adjourned to the Hotel de Ville to instal the Provisional Government."

The news from Paris has created the utmost excitement in London. le the House of Commons, early yesterday evening, a cluster of Members assembled round Mr. Stuart Wortley, and listened eagerly while he read the newspaper aloud. The telegraphic despatch was torn out of the paper and passed to the Speaker. Presently Sir Robert Peel entered, and a free_ meat was handed to him: he did not attend to it for some minutes--ignee rant of its importance. On glancing over it, however, he rose instantly and hurried with it across the House to Lord John Russell and Lord Pal.

merston, who devoured its contents. The excitement only subsided when Lord Palmerston, formally replying to Mr. Hindley, stated that he had no news later than the summons of Count Mole on Wednesday. Later in the evening, fresher intelligence again produced a considerable commotion.

The City was in a fever. A rumour got about that a credit of 150,0001. had been opened by the French Royal Family at Coats's bank; and it was credited that the King had actually taken refuge in London, and was at Mivart's. The coffeehouses were thronged—readers dispensing the news aloud to agitated listeners.
