Bnenos Ayres Has Suffered From a Bombardment. During tho insurrection at Buenos Ayres the iron-clad fleet, which had joined the revolutionary movement, bombarded the city for two Says. Serious damage was done to the many buildings. As the revolution began to fail, the people in the suburbs organized their own armed police toi deal with maurauders. The Union Civica state they found the boxes of ammunition in the Government stores empty ( instead of full, as tbe store-books indicated. This deception and the error in not v mit.t.lng the rails and seizing the War Min* ister when opportunity offered at the onset caused the failure of the popular cause. The exasperation against Celman is indescribable. Unless he resigns, it is feared that attempts will be made upon his life. The Bourse is olosed and the settlement is postponed until August 9. Exchange shops quote gold at 460. If Celman has the slightest patriotism he will resign ; but around - him have assumed a bullying tone, and assert that he never will resign. President. Celman does not appear to realize his posi tion. He has laughingly declared tha only a military meeting could show the people how little he thought of resigning. It is reported that the squadron has surrendered. The payment of all bills has been de ferred one month.
