The Liberator

Latest from Europe. The packet ship Poland, at New-York, from Havre, brings Paris dates to the 15th, including London advices to the 13th ult. Serious disturbances had broken out in Lyons, and much blood has been spilled. Paris has been the scene of commotion, and several cities in Belgium have been agitated with tumults and insurrections. It is stated that 1500 lives were lost at Brussels, and 250 at Paris. The office of the Tribune, in Paris, was sealed April 13, and its editor sent to prison for inflammatory publications.

A gentleman passenger, says the Journal of Commerce, of last evening, from Paris, in the Poland, speaks of the scenes in that city during the insurrection there, as truly awful. The soldiers put to death all persons of whatever age or sex, whom they found in houses from which they had been fired upon. In one house of low character, were forty-seven persons, the women being employed in making cartridges for the men. Every one was put to the sword.

[From Galignani's Messenger of 15th April.]

The Government has received news from Lyons, by express, to the evening of the 15th inst. The day had been bloody and decisive. The rebels, driven from other positions, took refuge in three or four churches, among others in the cathedral, which it was necessary to besiege. All who were shut up in it perished; their number is supposed to be 200. The rebels had also possession of two posts, one at Fourviere, seated on a hill commanding the Saone, which the troops took by assault, killing or making prisoners all who were found in it, and the other was that of St. George, which also was being attacked with the utmost vigor. All the communications have been re-established, and comparative order and tranquillity have succeeded four days of disasters and affliction.
