Steamer Niagara arrived at Boston—wiled on the first ol July. FRANCE.

There was a terrific conflict 8t Paris which lasted four days and resulted in the triumph of ihe Government. Loss of life eight to ten thousand, among whom were six ^P"' ties, fourteen general officers, and the Archbi«hop of Paris. The difficulty commenced through a misunderstanding of the Mayor in an interview wiih the Deputies of the National Assembly.

Thursday night (June 29.) barricades were erected and the National Guards were called out. The insurgents took position in the cite about Faubourph St. Antoin. and threatened Ihe Hotel de Ville. On Friday there

was

fighting—the insurgents successful. Lamartiue rode with Gen. Cavaignac staffart illerv was used, but at night the insurgents had gained ground and strength. On Saturday the Assembly declared itself to be in permanent session. The supreme executive power was gireti up to Cavaignac, «ho declared Paris in stateof Siege. The whole dav was spent in fighting, except a lull during a thunder storm. In the night troops were pouring in from the departments, and the fighting continued desperately on Sunday. In the chamber the President announced'that after a frightful sacrifice of life Government had completely suppressed the revolt on the left, and that Gen. Cavaignac had given those on the right till ten o'clock to surrender. Still the fighting continued all day with fearful loss of life. On Monday Lambeniciete arrived with reinforcementfc when after ten hours terrific slaughter the Government troops were victorious, the insurgents being either slain, scattered or captured. On Tuesday all was definitely settled. The Archbishop was shot when approaching the insurgents and trying to restore quiet. Over five thousand prisoners were taken. Commissioners were appointed to try those taken in arms. The insurgents, but especially the women among them, treated their prisoners with unheard of barbarity, cutting off their hands and feet and torturing them in every way conceivable.

It is universally conceded Ihat Gen. Lamoriciers saved the repuhlic by his bravery. The troops all welcome him with 6houts of "Vive la Repuhlique." In the ministry several changes have taken place. Admiral Leblanc refused to enter the ministry. Bestride was appointed to fill the place. Bednau was appointed minister lor foreign affairs. Lero is President of the Assembly. Gen.

The subjoined letter from Gen. Taylor, lo the Hon. James Iredell, chairman of the Ratification Meeting held in Raleigh, (N. (3.) on the 9th tilt., in answer to a Communication, enclosing the Resolutions adopted ot that meeting, will, we are sure, be read with great interest and pleasure.

This is theirs/ letter from under the Hero's own hand, that we have seen, since his nomination. nnd is, therefore, the first prw/u'e intimation of his acceptance.—Raleigh Register.

Congress must provide for the payment of the money. He says the famous three millions provided for by the act of March, 1847, was paid immediately after the rat' ification of the treaty but the "twelre millions" must be provided for. 3. He proceeds to glorify the results of the war—the acquisition of territory—humanity, commerce,fcc., &c. 4. The President recomends the immediate organization of territorial government, and the extension of laws over the new territories. In doing this, the President thinks highly of "compromise," and has a very bad opinion of "dissention." 5. He recommends "liberal grants" of lands to new settlers in the new territo-

6. He says tlie troops will immediately evacuate Mexico, and lie thinks the old army jsiablishment, kept full by enlistments, will be ample enough for the se* curity of the frontier. J'J'j 7. The President reccommemls the speedy payment of the national debt. In statins' the debt, he very materially differs from Mr. Graham. Register of the,Treasnrv. He made it, and justly too, many millions more. He says the national debt amounts to sixty-five millions of dollars, and some odd hundreds of thousands. In addition to this, there are twelve millions to pay to Mexico, besides one and a hall millions to American claimants against Mexico. 8. The President is very much afraid of a "broad and latitudinarian construction" of the powers of Congress, that is. in other words, the President is very much afraid of the River and Harbor improvements!

and its spirit is bitter enough: The mask so successfully worn is at length thrown off, and stands boldly fsirth to the nation, branded by his own signature as the greatest traitor of them all! What was considered the scheme of a handful of recreant and shameless demagogues, is now known to be the concerted and deliberate plot of a band of conspirilors—with MARTIN VAN BURKN as their chief— whose treachery has no parallel in the history of our country, and whose disgrace is as eternal as the perpetuity of our institutions.

Revolution in SlcxicO* The insurrectionary movements which threatened^ to annoy or overthrow ihe government of Herrera while the treaty was, under consideration, have of late assumed a more formidable aspect. Paredes, at the" last dates, (which are to the 20th from the city of Mexico,) had openly joined in them, and was recognized as their master spirit. A proclamation had been put forth signed by Jarauta, Orliz and Negreter which was understood to embody Parede's sentiments, in which the signers declare

ced and disavowed, lor having betrayed the nation. 2. The States, consequently, resume their authority. r.J 4^. 3. They shall cbnsulffoYi the means of replacing the deposed Government. 4. The Governors of the States shal! designate the person or persons who shall command the forces in each. 5. The troops of the standing army who give in their adhesion to the present plan, will, according to custom, be under the command of the General of the highest rank, who may follow their example.

The insurgents hat! taken possession of Guanajunto without resistance. They" numbered about 400 men. The Government of the Department had been removed to Celaya, and the insurgents had established one in its stead.

President Herrera had issued his proclamation against these proceedings, anil was taking active measures to quell tho insurrection, and the late accounts indicato the probability of his success. ^On the 16th, the divisions of Minon and ifiistnmente were within one day's march of Guanajuato, and General Yanez was soon to join them. One of the San Patricio companies wns at Sila, and was to join General Lomhardini's command, and ihen march to the assistance of Bustamente and Minon.

An express which arrived at Mexico on the 19th, says ihe Sipclo. brings news thatihe conduct a which lelt Queretaro on the 18th, arrived at Juan del Rio without accident.' On the same day, at Sila, 400 men. under General Bustaniente, united.
