Orders were sent by the commandant to bring

cases, were disobeved, one commander replying
that his men were equally divided on the
election question, and 0ne-half Of them would sup
port Floursn's demand that elections should be
held. Thousands OF the National Guard are Igno-

LONDON, Oct. l6-EveniDg.
The latest cficial Intelligence from Paris fully
confirms the news Of the important results achieved
by the French during the past fortnight. The
Pussians have found 1t absolutely mpracticable TO
establish their siege batteries Of heavy guns at St.
Clsud. sevres and Clamart on account Of the ter
riby accurate and overwhelming fre Of the enor-
nous naval artillery mounted ON the Forts Of Mont
valerien. Isoy, vanves and Montrouge. They
have consequently been compelled 10 abandon the
attempt TO invest and lombard the city from that
side, and evacuating seyres and the adjacent vii
lagos they undertook to move large forces around
the southern side Of the city towards the east.
THIS movement was interrupted most dsas-
trously by General Trochu, who ordered y sorte
the Prussian columns. The French came upon
the retreating Germans at Bagneux, Chatenay les
Bagneux and Chation, distances OF from three to
four miles from the enclente Of the walls OF Paris
The attack was led by the Gardes Mobile, who be-
haved with magnificent vaior and stesdines;
and the Germans, after a brief RESISTANCE,
In which they fought with much less
than their usual steadlnes and discipline, broke
everywhere in confusion, abandoning thcir artillery
and teams and ned in disorder. A considerable

DIFFERENCES AMONG GRRMAN COMMANDERS.
Rumors are current In Berlin that difference Of
opinion prevails at the German headquarters at ver
sailIes. General Won Moltke is reported as favorng
an immediate bombardment OF Paris, while Count
Bismarck and the Crown Prince Of Prussia advocate
the slower process Of beseging the city to starvs-

lay siege to other parts Of the country.
