The. French Insurrection. From & Smitli'd Diropean Times The details of the. insurrection, which broke out in the Parks on the 23d ult. and which was so Tear fully disastrous in its effects, are of ad much inter est and magnitude, that' we, have given' them at length to the exclsion of minor intelligence from that city. Our c olumns, front time to time, have testifia to the constant state of .terror produced , in Paris, by the conduct of .the ultia-Itepublictins, aided by that of the ouvriera; and for some time previous to the 23d, the attention of the National Assembly had been directed to the best - mode of counter-acting their schemes. Origin of tho insurrection. _ Pursuant to there determination to diminish the number of ouvriers, the Government directed that a draught of 3,000 of them, inhabitants of the prov inces, shouldi'eave town on the 22d. They , were supplied with mJney, and orders for their board and lodging. They left town, but halted outside the barriers, and there spent a large share of ' their ex penses. About three o'clock a body, amountin to 400, returned, and paid a visit to the Exect rive Government. M. Marie presented himself to tear their grievances. Ho was addressed by the el but M. Marie refused to hear Illinois he had I amongst those who attacked the Assenibly on lath May, and he could not recognise him; turning to the others, he said, "You are not slaves of this man, you can explain your grievan M. Marie entreated them not to be led into rebel and assured them that the Government was o pied with the consideration of measures for the provement of their condition. The delegates % drew, but did not give an account of their it view. On the contrary, they stated that M. 11 called them slaves. The laborers then comme shouting "Down with the Executive Commissi , "Down with the Assembly!" Same of them tate ed to force into the Church of St. Sulpice, wit intention of ringing the tocsin, but the gates closed to prevent them. Thence they proceed the quays, singing, "We will remain; we remain!" They next proceeded to , the Faubot St. Antoine and St. Marceau, and stationed t selves on the Place de la Bastile, crying., ‘, Napoleon!" On the morning of the 23d, at 4 o'clock, 6000 of these men erected barricades at the St. Denis and St. Martin. Many of them armed with muskets. At about 10 they attack post of national guards, and attempted to dinar' Resistance being made, the assailants fired, an guard returned the fire. The peuple tied: At 3 o'clock the rappel having been beaten .fo national gUirds, 'nearly one-third turned out detachment of the second legion marched agai barricade, and cal'ed upon the men who guard, to surrender. The answer_was a Qiselia rgeof stry, on which the national guards fired, but al few roundb-they were overpowered and disar and the workmen from the windows of the surr ing houses fired upon them. Three or four killed, and several wounded. At a later hou national guards came up in force, and ope murderous fire on the barricades. The incur tuadelii obstinate resktance, but at length doned the burrieedeo and fled. , guards were killed; a Lieut. Col. and a d'Eseadrou were wounded. From 30 to 40 o people were killed in the attack. Gen. de riciere commanded the troops. The cry o et:wailers was 'Nice la Republique Dernocrati l At en early hour the Place de la Concorde been occupied by an immense body of troops very few of the National Guards were to he the same was the case in the Fauboug St. lit [tore, the Rue de Rivoli, the Rue de la Paix, and the oul evards. By three o'clock the Hotel de Ville t.geth er with the barricades erected there, were occhpied by troops. Bodies of the national guard were sta tioned at the Tuileries, but while on former ircCa sinus, the rappel had trot been beaten for two tours before Paris witnessed 1.50;000 citizens underrota, was nut the tenth although it beat for hours, there ti part of that number seen. In the evening the guard-. house on the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle was attack ed by the insurgents, who after a few shots fled. A small body (Attie national guards in the Rue d'Abou kir were fired at by . the peoplei they retreated sev eral being killed and wotindedi. A similar retreated took place in the Rue de Cleo! ' in which the notion al guards were successful. Before two o'cloCk the artillery was planted in a position to command the, barricades on.the Boulevards. Several burr cedes were carried by the troops, at the point of the bayo net, in the neighborhood 'of the t'aluis du Justice and the Faubourg St. Antonia.' At five o'clock a force of artillery was sent upito the railroad St; Peilis, when the second legion attacked the barricades at the Porte St. Denis, the national guards being tired upon by the insurgents, answered by a discharge in platoq,ns, firing in the air. This wr,s replied to by an effective discharge by the insurgents: after which the national guards discharged volleys fur a quarter of an' hour, to which the insurgents answered by a continual dropping tire like that of sharpshooters.— It is impossible to describe the effect produced by these fusilades upon the masses which crowded the boulevards, who fled in terror. This was increased when the national guards, from want of amunition, [ retired before the insurgents,. As a proof of the forbearance of the troops, and the desperate recklessness of the populace, we gite a brief description of an attack made by a large bat talion of the national guards on a btfrricade in the Porte of St. Denis: On the appearance of this batelion the insurgents, taking it for a regim4nt of the line, i and hoping to shake the fidelity of thee regular troops raised a shoot of "Vive la Ligne!" bUt on finding , their mistake most of them fled. There remaini g only seven men ital two women, who fuughtdes ierately. One of the men, who held a flag in his hat d, was - the first do fire; his companions followed hi example, and .the national guard returned the fire. I The man who .carried the flag fell dead. One of the females, a young woman neatly dressed, picked up the flag, and 'leaping over the barricadee, rushed towards the na tional guards, uttering language of provocation.— Although the fire continued from the barricades, the national guards, fearing to injure/this female, hut onaniyabstainedtor some time from, returning it, ex horting her to withdraw. Their exertions,Mtwev er, were vain: and at length self-preservationlcom pelled them to tire, and she was killed.' Tire other female then advanced,. took the fl ag, and began to throw stones at the natioual guard's. The tire from the barricade had become feeble, but several shots were fired from the sides,' and from the windows of the houses, and the national guards, in returning •the fire, killed the second female. At last only one man remit ned at the barricade, but he kept, up a con stant disc large. One of the national guards left the ranks sword in hand, and rushing to the barri cade, tur ing aside the musket of this man just as he was about to fire again, and took him prisuners. The capture of the barricade did nut put an end to the combat. A galling fire was poured upon the national guards from the detached parties 'of the in; surgents. and from the windows of the houses ot which they , had taken . forcible possessi on. l The number.killed on this point is estimated at about 20 on both sides. The number of wounded was also Considerable. • The, night of the 23J was a terrible one. None save thosewho have been on a battle-field or in a city attacked by an enemy, can . have an adequate idea of it. The movement of the , ,troops rapidly increased, and all the signs of an approaching struggle of the avast serious nature were manifest. The "getter (tie" continued to be beaten in all quarter's till mid; night. Nothing could exceed the terror that was everywhere spread. Cavalry and artillery pass ed at full gallap, every moment, along the boule— _ yard. About midnight these troops drew up for the-i -night along the aides of the street, and dismounted ;and bivouacked on the footways. The soldiere, who', -had been on duty from a, very early hourccuinplete- ly overcome, werii-extended everywhere on the foot 'path sleeping, having helmet and sword laid beside them. Some tended the horses, who in thousands .occupied the carriage road. This state of things 'continued until 3 o'clock, when the trinriphets and drums again sounded, the cavalry and artillery mouuted, and-itifantry, formed and marched off to another scene. In the course of half au hour dis charges of cannon sod musketry began to be heard, - and this continued until seven o'clock when silence 'again prevrided. M. Arago made every effort throtighont the day to prevent a collision. All the troops and the na tional guards showed the • greatest intrepidity- and the most admirable devotedness. , i At ten o'clock p.m. , the firing had nearly ceased; The national guard, the garde mobile, and the troops were under arms... , There was no means of a . preach ing the theatre of the struggle. so that it iwas not possible to learn lithe insurgents had retained their position. The engagement was very bloody in the quarter of the Ecule de Medicin. It was aid that B ,M. - Pascal, the lieutenant-colonel of the 11 th legion, and ,M. Avrial, banker, had been mortally vounded. At two o'clock an order was published,ignedlty the President ot the Assembly and Execu tive CUM ' mission, appointing General Cavaignac Commander in Chief of the troops of every arm, inclin ing the national guard and the garde mobile. About three o'clock there was a conflict at the bridge . near the Hotel de Ville, when I£l' soldiers of the line were reported to have been killeyl. A member of the Assembly sp - pearing on liorsebla on the boulevards, bearing the ribbon designating his office, was saluted With cries of 4, A- bas lea aristo crats!" It is said-that General CavaignaC refused to accept the command without receiving unlimited •powers, which were conferred upon him. In the course" of the morning 800 men of the guard mobile were disarmed by a body of the insur gents, headed by an individual in the uniform of an officer of the national guard. At six o :lock the fighting continued, and the troops had been ) increas ed. 15 national guards were killed at the Porte gt. Denis. By - a fatal mistake two legions of the nil :Lionel guard fired on each other. The cries among the populace Were various. "Vice Henri v.r—,— "Vice Napoleon!" - "Vive la Republique!" were se verally !nerd. A member of the Assembly raised 'a flag at the Porte St.. Mort." (Bread or death.) At nine o'clock, the struggle in the quarter of S. Jacqueit was most terrible. The insurgent's strong ly barricaded, fired warmly on the national guard and tile troops of the line, who replied. 1 Cannon was at tvork. The staff was at the Hotel de Ville. The artillery was at the Pout Notre Daine. The cannon tired from this point on the Rue de Is Cite, and the bottom of the Rue St.. Jacques, appeared to engage theta very muCh. Strong barricades exist ed-in the Rue de In Harr. Much blood was shed there, and Gen. Francois was wounded. In the course of the evening the insurgents captured a post of the guard mobile, and made them march with them. All round the Temple the town was in pee session or the insurgents, who were defending them selves with intense energy. The platoon dischtt ges replied to Uteri) every five minutes. It was estimated that not less than 100,600 of the ouvries and the dregs of the population of Paris and the baulieu were gathered together in the desperate attempt to make another revo:utiou, and recover the ) mastery. On Sunday morning, at the (meeting of the Na ) - tional Assembly, the President , announced that the Government forces fiat , completely suppressed the insurrection on the left bunk of the river, after 4 frightful sacrifice of human life; and that General Cataignac had given the insurgents' on the right bank till ten o'clock to surrender;.when if they did not Inc down their arms, he would storm their en trenchments, in the Fabourg St. Antoine, where they were now driven, and put the Whole to the sword. The ::eaviest artillery had been brought to bear upon them and little doubt could be entertained that the insurrection could be put down. 1 The hope thus held out of the termination of the insurrection was not, however, realized. ' The:fight', ing continued the whole of Sunday, with a fearful loss of life, especially to to the National Gqards.-4 Oum monthly the reinforcements Gen. Latnoriciere had received from Cavaignac, enabled him to herd in the insurgents in the eastern part of the city; and although reduced to extremeties, they still fought with incredible valor. It was thought on Monday morning curly, that they would surrender; but again the hope thus held out of.the termination of the inJ surrec.ion was nut im nediately realized. At half-past ten on Monday, the lighting Tea re-, 1 sunned, and it was only after a frightful stru , -gle of about two more hours that the thivernment-Aroop everywhere prevgiled; and the heart of the insurree; Lion being broken, the insurgents were either shot; taken prisonea, or fled into the country, in "the di-J, rectum of Vincennes. The eastern quarters,' com- 1 , prising the Fabourge St. Antoine * du Templ6 Menilniontant,fand l'epincourt, were last subdued.) The :List band took refuge in the celebrated cemetery of i'ere In Ch ise, , b ut the Guards Mobi l e hunted them ken in t iis sanctuary, and they were\scatterl ed lathe neigh •oring fields. On Tuesday, t e in-i the hen 'bout orie vere d a , 'I the bout the st` a 1 it I,k- IME -several na had but seen; surrevion %vas definitely quelled. TkP toss of ife in this most unexampled cc tithe, has been _terrific. IVe are afraid that the pre mil Dating loss will be found to be far greater o tJt side of the soldiers than of the ins,hrgents. N fewer-Than foucteen general officers have been pu hors do coinlot.ol greater loss Ahab the os i splendid engage tent of Napoleon. Amongst tl os , who fell are General Churbonnel anti Renault, others severely wounded. Four or h've member: o the National Assembly are among the killed, and a many more wounded. ,j But perhaps the most touching death is that of tl e Archbishop of Paris. This venerable• prelate, tit Sunday v , •lunteered to gu to the insurgents as messenger ofpeace. Cavaignac said that such n step was full of danger, but this Christian pastor persisted. He r Advanced, attended by his two vicars, towards the barficades with an olive branch t or before him, when he was ruthlessly shut in the gro it, and fell mortally wounded. Tho venerable - patient was carried by the insurgents to the nearest bosj)i tal in St. Antoine, where he received the last Sa craments, languished, and has since died. The e , :itor of the Petro Duchurnse, M. Laroche, the translator of Sir Walter Scutt's wirks, was shot in' the head at the barricade Rochechosirt, where in the dress of an ourricr, he was fighting, with Un heard of valor, at the bend of a party of iusurgeipts. It will Inuit - ably be never correctly a:certaitted to what extent the sacrifice of human life in this fear ful sthuggle has reached. Some compute the loss on the side of the tioops at from five to ten thouStind slain, but we hope this is exaggerated. The num ber of prisoners captured of the insurgents exceeds live thousand. All the prisons are tilled, as wdll as the dungeons and vaults oft he Tuilleries, the Louvre, Palnis Royal, the Chamber of peplities, aud r the Hotel de Ville. A military commissien has alre ady been appoin ed to try such as were fointi with 'arms in their hands; and they will probablv l he deported to the Mar mesas /Mantis, or 'some trams an:ic French cokny. A decree_ has been proposed with that object. We have!ne' "dve -, sp.. ' 9 l' 1 vidual heroism. Many soldiers; veer buys, exhibi ted sublime courage. On the other l i and, the sar age emelt); l with which the insurgen a waged war almost exceeds belief. They tortured some of their prisoners, cut off their hands and feet; and inflicted,' bartturities worthy of savages. The women were `hired to poison the wine sold to soldiers, who drank it, reeled and died. We would, g9ly turn from the details of the awful deeds which generally, been per petrated. It seems to be believed generally, that if the insurgents had succeeded in followinglup their most admirably concerted plan of operations, and having advanced their line, and Possessed them selves of the Hotel de Ville, and followed up their successes along the two banks of the river, that the whole city ivould , have been given u'p to pillage,. in deed the words "Ptt.Loon -AND RAPK" are said to have been inscribed on one of their banners. Not less than 30,000 stand of arms have been seized and captured in the faubdurg St. Antoine alone( Our readers will naturally ask where did all these arms come from? who organized this conspiracy? whence did the funds proceed which, it is asserted, were scattered profusely amongst - 01 a populace in order to lush their courage up to the highest point of daring. No one believes that the legitimists fur nished the means; Prince Louis Bonaparte has not the requisite command of money; and indeed, his name was not even whispered throughout this event ful period: It is not doubted that the means came front persons within the National Assembly. No one dares to name the guilty parties; but they are declared to be the same who got up the affair of the 14th May; and when M. Flacon, in the midatof the fearful struggle on Saturday last, endeavored to raise a feeling against strangers by his vile insin uations that it was 'foreign gold which was mettle. ted an-overthrow the Republic, he perhaps of all men kneW from what quarter it proceeded.

It could not have 'escaped the t notice of men, intelligent and observing as 'the' volun teers proverlierly were, that however brave "Rough and Ready" was in the field of ,battle, he at all times and on all occasions spoke of and acted towards the volunteers as though they were not t t be relied upon in the hour of trial and danger. It is probable ho was honest in this opinion. A regittar officer himself, never having mixed with the people, and totally unacquainted with the high and exalted patriotism which prompted the youth of our country to enlist under her flag in this contest, he could not appreciate or understand how they were to,be relied_ upon in the hour of danger.

We have boon led to these remarks by reading an ac count of a emocratic meeting held in Coshocton, Ohio, on the Ist inst. In the call there was printed a statement, that Gen. Taylor had spoken in the most coarse, abusive and unjust manner, of the Ohio volunti era; and the statement made was to be substantiated by several of the • Volunteers of the 3d Ohio Regiment who were present. At the meeting some introductory remarks were made by Gen. lass, who said that when the first Volunteers returned fr m Mexico many of them communicated General Taylor's abusive language to him, and hosfelt very indignant at it lie had a son and two nephews; and there wore a groat number of the sons of his neigh- ME EMI urpos l 4 , to 6 gust 1 1, l i ons fo dole k,udida4 evol Guber risburl uge f. bore, in that company; and his indignation was theiefore Just and n Mral.

Shank, the Democracy of _Pennsylvania wiii be very soon- called upon to select a new candidate to' that office. Who that candidate shall be lis an importnnt inquiry. Wo have in the Dem ocratic ranks, plenty of good material—many men, good and true—faithful, capable and honest—out of whom to select. Wo have heird the names of James Buchanan, Judge Black, Wilson McCaudletts, Arnold Plummer, Gen. George Keim and Morris Longstreth, our present efficient Canal Commissioners spoken of. In the short time that will necessarily elapse before the nomination, but little time can be occupied in discussing the relative merits of the candidates, and under such circumstances, the task bicomee of even more than ordinary difft.tulty, to select from such a host. There is one consideration, in regard to the person selected, however, which strikes os v.ith more than ordinary - force. cHe should be a man frtafrom all entangling alliances connected entirely with any of the factions, cliques and parties, which nee esiarily, more or less, aro to . be found in the ranks of all great combinations. He should be fresh froni the peo ple, without enemies in our own ranks, and against whom our opponents can, bring no guns to hear, other than those of principle. With such a candidate; the Democracy of Pennsylvania would present an impregnable front, and sweep the State by as overwhelming majority. Fed eralism, Whigism, No-partyism, and Nativism, all combined, would find in a man ofjthis character an oppo nent against whom they could not hope for success, and the battle, like that of last ?full, would be gained o'er it was fought. That the Democracy of , Pe'nnsylvania have many such men front whom to choose, cannot be de nied. At present, wo Me not prepared to point out defi nitely, Wit nes, from among - so many, We will, how ever, say that the name of Jonas • Bi.scx, of Somerset, has been suggested to us by a friend, whose opinions and knowledge of his qualifications, are entitled to respect, as one combining the qualities we have named, together with every other necessary for an able chief magistrate of this Commonwealth. In the mean time, we invite a full and free canvas of the subject. O .DINANCE OF 'B7. --Much stress is laid by whig pa pers on Gen. Taylor's endorsment of the "Ordinance of '87," exeludi4 slavery from Territories. It has been shrewdly surmised, however, that so far from in tending to endorsekt, he knew no more about what the term meant when ho wrote tho Signal lettei!, than ho did abode the Tariff,ub-Treasury, &e., when ; he wrote his famous letter to D. Delony, wherein he very truly says ho hOs never had time or inclination to examine either these or any other of the political questions about which, now-a-days, every boy ten years old professes to know something. And why should he? if the other ques tions, which have l entered into the discussion of every canvass for years, did not claim enough of his attention to have enabled him—a candidate for the Presidency—to have mad up his Mind in regard to them, how can it be supposed that this question--that the provisions of his almost forgotten ordinance—should have been familiar to him? Eh. this as it may, however, the extraordinaiy po sition he thus occupies has given birth to sonic excellent jokes at his expense, which, whether truth or fiction, are equally to the point] The following is one of them. A warm and enthusia'stie Mend called on him ono day, and anxious to obtain his_opinion on'the slave question, be gan to 'interrogate him on the subject. "General," said "what is your opinion of the or. dinance of '87?" I "Well,"-answered the General, "I 'do n't know that I have ever seen atl . )lL9 old OM that, but no doubt they were made of poor metal. The ordinance of this day is cer tainly the best in the world. Why, sit, there 's Captain Bragg's battery"— - An interruption and an explanation followed. Here is another. I For months past, the 'public men of both parties in Waiibington, have been jolting over the reply General Taylor is said to halo made to Jefferson Davis, when the litter told him that the Signal-letter embraced an approval of the Wilmot proviso. "Ordi nance of 'B7—Ordinance of 'B7. - What 's that, hey! I wrote nothing about that.
