From the very Interesting Paris correspondence

one who had excellent opportunities of observing the
progrese of events, we make a brief extract:

a sort of semi bivouac; many with their arms piled,
taking breakfast, which their own kits or knapsack',
or the busy, gay hearted vivandieres supplied them.
The sly gibe pasted among them, .ludicrous repar

as so useful a pis slier might be expected_ to pos

reference to himself,—no vies .Yepoieon—no 'fee

'favor. The only cry was tire /a itipubliquel and
this, but a short time since, was considered anything
but faiorabie to him, and I believe it has not since

of all this Americans at present in Paris. The col,
teal is certainly complete, though its • immediate
results are not yet uncertain. St. Arnaub, the new
Minister of . War, is said to have been the prominent
' cause of the stroke. tie is esteemed to know noth

L.rthy of consideration. He feels and hal expres- ,
sed great rivalry of Caysignac and.Cbangarnier, and
a strop, desire to show them that there are other
generals who know hew to wield the French army
as well as themselves. Doubtless, on occasions he
will use his power with energy. The President, it
is said has been for some time casting about for sod
~r nis kind, sod now tbiuks himself secure of being
Emperor for life. This result, at least in its com
plete fulfillment, is perhaps doubtful. France/ is
governed by the army. There is no principle; no

Scams AT TUB BARICADa.—The correipondeut
of the London Times gives the following account of i
the fighting at the "monster" barricade of the Rue
St. Denis, on Thursday the 4th.
It was the 72J regiment of the line that advanced '
first to the "monster" barricade of the Rue St. Den
is. They had detachments of lancers at thei front
and on their flanks; and were supported in the rear
by two battalions of Pendarmerto Mobile fro foot,
and two re l i.ments.of cu.rassers and' dragoons. As

may judge of their rage as they were unable to use
their most formidabble weapons, and their pistols
produced but =ail effect.' Several carried carbines,
and with them they did some execution. • '

nothing but two walls of flame, in the centre of
which was the 72d Regiment, with its Colonel and
Liecursant-enlonel at the head, musing onwards
towards the barricades. The 711 delivered no shut

the defences, and about as many more taken on the

The .Library cf o:lngress was utterly destroyed
by fire this morning. The kill itself is in black and
smoking ruins; volumes of smoke are still, at three
P. M., pouring front the windows and roof of the
edifice. Not a book nor picture—absolutely nothing
of the collection was saved.
The fire was discovered just. before eight o'clock
1
1 this morning, by ne of the Police guard. It could
at that time have een easily subdued. bailthere been'
water at hand in he building; a small reservoir near
the building was roan up., Water was not got till
the library was Wrapped in dames. The morning
was intensely cold. ! Water :was poured orufusely
into the Library, bY hose laid across the Rotunda,
after the damage we's done, and the ruin complete.
The Library. as every one knows, was the pride
and ornament of the Capitol. It was the most agree
-able lounging-plice for.visitors and strangers te the
city; its tors, evati though, It be but temporary, will
be a great public! inconvenience. I suppose that
most of the books Of value can be replaced, many of
them, however, valued from associations connected
with. them. Mr. Gales estimates the loss of the li
brary in money at 5200,000, anJ the cost of repairs
to the edifice at *MOM :he Congress library
was destroyed by the 'Brt•ist. when they burnt the
Capitol, in Angust, 1814. The library was partial
ly injured by 6re in the year 1827. Thiti Sre is said
to have originated from defective flues.
Mr. Allen F. Owen, late Consul at Havant, is
soon to visit this city. He has proclaimed war
against President Fillmore, and threatens touzpose
him to public censure for having recalled him. lie
says he was the best Count the United States could
hare bad, and that he done as much,for the prison
