VERSAILLES, Nov. 81 have just been told
of chance sending letter directly to you and avail
myself Of It, From the first rumor Of NJ Therss mission
ventured to prophesy that it could have but one end
utter failure Well NJ Theirs came here, he talked and
failed Here is the history Of the affair. First Of all NJ
Theirs was anxious to go into Paris without seeing
Count Bismarck passing through Versailles But
he was told that the road to Paris lay through the Chan
ceor Cabinet and he had TO go, nolens voens and TO
have long conversation with "ct homme terrible H. de
Bismarck" The end OF 1t all was that NJ Theirs went
into Paris with copy of the capulation OF Metz In his
pocket and such Of peace there was not much
chance that the Parsans would agree to- So NJ Theirs
came back a good deal quicker than he went, and has
been here ever SINCE writing long dispatches and seeing
Count smarck.
But if half we hear about Paris be true the chances OF
peace very remote indeed The day before yesterday
twas universally believed in Versailles that there had
been revolution in Paris and that NM. Felix Pyat,
Deescuze and Banqui had with the assistance of Gus
tave Fourens, proclaimed the Commune and arrested
Trochu and Jules Favre. This the fret story which
brought to the outposts by a French officer VINO
came to claim the body Of NJ Dufaure (son OF Louis
Phippe's old minister), who killed in skirmsh re-
Gently But the most generally credited report is that
although there was doubt a row and probably fight
in Paris TrOchu and Favre eventually got the best Of it,
and that the rioters were disarmed by the National
Guard. One thing at all events is quite certain, NJ.

Favre thought it right to pacard the captuation Of
Metz, and the streets consequently crowded with
people who seemed disposed TO avenge the disaster OF
Metz on the bearer Of the bad news, and sentinels
guard had to be placed before NJ. Thiers's door
Things became menacng that he sent out OF Paris
under strong escort OF cavalry Jules Favre who was
to have accompanied him outside the walls having ex
cused himself at the last moment on account Of the
threatening aspect OF affairs NJ THEIRS we know got
safely out. What happened then know not although
great many correspondents have given clear
count Of the matter II they had been present. bal

southeastery direction and before that reaches yOu it
very possible that you may know the real truth Of the
matter At all events, here ii ia universally believed
that there have been riots in Paris and that the Red
party IL not dominant is very threatening. The con-
sequence that everything is in readiness for sore.
There been heavy firing from Mont Vaerien for the
last three nights But the results have been very rfing
Three men were wounded last night vaucresson,
but little other damage has been done by the huge shells
fired. We imagine here that the continuous firing from
Vaericn is more with view 10 the Pasans than
anything else They doubtless imagine that much noise
must predicate certain amount OF execution. The Crown
Prince three regiments Of cavalry yesterday and
distributed the iron to fifty men afterward.
The ceremony very pretty one, 1t took place in
