It is now said that the capture of the fnu
bourg St. Antoine was owing m the snare
which th<- insiirgcDts had laid lor the sol
diers. It was their intention to h ive allov
i d a number to eiiti-r and get entmigh.-d m
tie- Strei ts, and then to have sacrifi.-cd thtem j
but the soldiers when they got a footing
were too prompt for their adversaries, and
made so good use of the advantages offered
that the insurgents became panic struck,
mid made a virtue of necessity. Con-iih-i
---nble arrests were made to-day in the Buis!
de Boulogne of concealed iiisurgents. The [
citv is surrounded by bid villmma. There
is mm near the bridge of Neuilly, called
Putenux,ii little miiniifaeturi'ig town, which
is a nest of Communists. Wffat now is to
be done with the workman? The question
is fearful. All btisine-s is suspended—all
manufacturing over. Gen. Citvaignav, it is
said, is too lenient in his views tow ards this
class after this conduct. I think not. I'hcse
man cannot be allowed to be driven t > des
peration by fear, vengeance, or selli hness;
they must be sustained, at the peril of being
turned into the emimiesof society. Cavaig
iric is described as being too mil l—-a good
quality, nt it moment when stimulants are
not wauling. Mild a-s ha is. the ileierntina
tio'i on his part to lay down Lis authority
cause I a p inic this morning.
The people nre crowding to the si'xgies of
the late combat. I have just visited th
chinch of St. Severin, the bend qttnrfers of
the insurgents, and it would have lieen im
possible to hm> side-ted a better point.—
