.confirmed, but certain details of the
mass?ore aro made public, which I al?
most discredit on account of their bar?
barity. If, however,* they prove tr de, it
makes the whole story perhaps the most
revolting that ever was heard, even in
revolutionary France. It is impossible
for me to enter into particulars; suffice
it to'say, that the bodies of the unfortu?
nate martyrs-for martyrs to the cause
of order and religion they m nat in sober
truth bo called-were'mutilated, in a
manner which the savages of Patagonia
would shudder at. Before shooting tho
priests, eleven of them were stripped
stark naked and tied each to a nun, who
was in like manner divested of every par?
ticle of dress, I dare not trust myself
to comment upon 'these atrocities, but
siro ply state whut'Ibave heard from ex?
cellent authority, from an officer /of
standing who was present at La Roquette
when the bodies of the hostages were
discovered, and who had the question?
ing pf.'some of tho demons in human
form,'who not only confessed to what
they bad 'dobo/Jbut bo ant od I pud ly of
their devilish acts. .After seeing this, is
it to be wondered at it MoMnpon has or?
dered no quarter to bo given to those
who may be found fighting with arms in
their hands, or who were convioted of
throwing petroleum, into the Paris
houses?
The horrors of the week disposed
many people to reflection and calmness,
and homo they moved.' I walked along
tho boulevard and watched the carious
groups talking and - discussing. Each
seemed to be suspicious of the other;
eaoli kneW not but the other might de?
nounce, and' eaoh knew it' would be hu?
miliating and dangerous. I heard this
-morning of a son, of a'oolonel in the
regular army, of Versailles who was ar?
rested near a barricade, and, notwith?
standing hts protest and his innocence,
hp was taken and shot as an insurgent.
-I understand this sad mistake has dis?
posed the authorities to be more care?
ful. Au English lord was taken while
ho was'on a barricade, being compelled
to work. He was a major-general in the
British army; and though he exhibited
his.passport and proclaimed his stand?
ing, ho was put in the convoy of prison?
ers and marched bare-headed to versail?
les with the rest. There he was detained
th
ree days, and by a fortunato circum?
stance, was released, j His caso is ono in
a hundred, .- Thus it goes on.
At Luxembourg, in tho park of Mon
oeau, arid in the square Toar St. Juques,
thero aro largu trenches filled lo the
brink.with human bodied, many of them
only half killed and) fret warm with life.
Insurgeb'tu-men : and women, with
hands tied behind the back, aro taken to
the brink. There is a volley of musket?
ry, the smoko nteo/i away, and tho vic?
tims are engulfed in the trenches. Hor?
ror 1 horror!? And yot at Versailles they
think that this summary" vengeance ia
not half bloody enough.' The catalogue
is interminable, and always the same.
Last night, at 6 o'clock, an American
merchant of high reputation was arrest?
ed, with all his family. He resided ut
the Boulevard Haussmaun, and a shot
was* fired from his house and wounded
an officer of the line. An immense
crowd immediately gathered around, nud
it soon grew to bo au excited mob. Tho
captain of the arrondissement immedi?
ately put the house under requisition
and searched it, and arrostod a Polish
gentleman residing therein. The Ame?

Twenty-four' hours after the shooting

They wero struck with astonishment to

moved at once to an ambulance, t- .No

wherever they have been caught, they
havo been treated with all the cruelty
imaginable, especially during the first
three days.
M. Chandey, who W?B one of ' tho
editors of the Si?cle, when shot, said,
if Vipo la Bttp'tblique/" He left a widow
and'one child, a boy of fourteen, to
mourn' his loss. Strange coincidence-'

anniversary of the birth of bis sou and
the fifteenth of his marriage He waB* a
sincere- Republican and., left .boats of
warm friends. On Sunday, at U o'clock,
the body of Dclesolnze was to be seen ut
the Place dn Chateau d'Eau. Several
Americans were among the spectatorsjat
the terrible, scene. The little garden'of
the "Tour St Jaques," on tho Boule?
vard Sebastopol,1 was a mass of dend
bodies awaiting burial. Tbe omuiboses
of L'Odeon and Batignolle wore em
ployed in removing them. The'barri?
cades in the vicinity were also in a dread?
ful state from the dead bodies, half
covered, lying therein. This little green
square, BO filled with trees, flowers and
sbrubB, a few days since, is now tnrned
into a burial ground.' Over 1,000 are
already buried there. Large trenches
are dug, and twenty bodies thrown into
ouch trench; also, quick lime in large
quantities. Even the women and chil?
dren killed in the fray are thrown in
those trenches together. The feeling
towards the Germans is more hostile than
ever. Some proofs and rumors tend to
admit that thc Prussians havo had o
hand in the civil war. I take the follow?
ing from tho Puris Jour md, of May 29:
"The smoke of our war with Prnssia ex?
cited the desires of adventurers and
brought all at once in oar great and un?
fortunate capital specimens of nil Eu?

would astonish nobody. Wo should ex?

Por in, iii short, that sowed tho wind has
at last reaped tho whirlwind. Tho worm
bas turned and r tung her. There were
some National Guards in this procession,
and some women in. tho same uniform
a strange and incongruous drees.-they
bad not put aside their chignons, proba?
bly out of female vanity. Something pf
tho woman .was still left in their fallen
and degraded nature. As they passed
the Bue Coumartin one of the prisoners,
either through stubbornness pr weakness,
refused to march, and was most unmer?
cifully beaten by the soldiers. They
dragged him along by the hair of his
head, kicked and trampled upon him.
A well-dressed man in tho crowd ex-i
pressed his indignation nt such brutality
and waa immediately set upon by the
ferocious crowd of spectators-Pari
ftiunfl; be it remembered-dragged about |
tho streets amid curses and impreca?
tions, and, what seems almost incredi?
ble, actually beaten to death, thrown
into a bread cart like a butchered bog,
and carted off amid the cheers of the
mob. What makes these scenes moro
disgraceful and Bavage is that officers of
the regular French army, that are sup
"posed to be educated gentlemen, not I
only do not try to prevout them, but nc
t a al ly take a part and help on the mob.
Ono officer, who boro at least the rank
of colonel, aud whoso breast was cover?
ed with decorations, was seen to drag]
this unfortunate victim of popular fury
by the hair and to kick him, ns well as
beat him with the pommel of his sword.
I Yet this man was probably at Sedan, and
saved Iiis life by surrendering to the
Prussians. There is nobody the French
fight so well as they do Frenchmen; pone
toward whom they aro more implacable;
none whose lives are less. sacred than
their own countrymen. "Judi's que vou?
lez vous." What can bo done with such
a people? 11
Yesterday, near Mr. Washburne's
house, six children, between tho ages of
eight and ten years, taken in the act of
setting ure to houses, were shot on thc
spot; not by the mob this time, but by
an officer of high rank. But the air is
full of such horrors. Many of the sol?
diers havo boen welcomed apparently
with joy by tho people, and invited to
oat and drink and rest after their fatigue,
and died of poison. I saw n captain
that had taken n barricade near the Tri?
nity church, and who narrowly escaped
death in tho same way. He was wel
coo. d with open arms by the inmates
of : bouse near tho oaptured barricade.
"?JU havo saved us from these assassins;
wo can never bo too grateful," said they
aud offered him a good breakfast. But
he had no sooner eaten his soup than he
was taken with violent convulsions, aud
ho only escaped death because they had
given him so much poison that its effect J
was counteracted by tho violouco of its
operations. Tho wholo family wero
shot. Near tho Madeleine, a woman
carno to a post of soldiers, which had
jost been established, and demanded to
see the officer in command to ask his I
protection. When ho appeared she drew
a revolver and shot him dead. His sol?
diers, of course, executed summary ven?
geance upon her. In another street,
near tho Boulevard Hnussmann, a woman
was arrested in tho middle of tho fight |
for making signs to tho Communists to
retire, because they were on the point of j
being surrounded. When askod what
she was doing, she replied boldly that
BIIO was informing her friends of their
danger. An officer ordorad her to kiss
tho tri-colon Sho took it, spat upon it,
nnd trampled it tinder foot, and was im?
mediately led out and shot. And al?
though tho insurrection id almost
crushed, theso sceucs of terror are still
going on in ovory part of tho city.
Whoo the procession of prisoners, of
which I have previously spoken, arrived

Gollifet rode along tho Hues, and, se?
lecting n certain number from eachsquad
