Judgement within the walls OF Paris, ana
the suppression of the instruction ls VIZ
tually accomplished. The entrance was
made on the afternoon of Sunday, with
out much opposition from the Commun-
ist troops. Fighting has since been in
progress in different parts of the city,
and a reign of terror has prevailed, but
the government forces have been steadily
gaining possession of the capital, and the
latest reports give assurance that the in
surgents are completely subdued, and the
flag of the government floats triumphant.
The Prussian troops, though not partici-
pating in the fighting, have aided the
versaillists by forming line of invest.
ment around Paris and turning back all
insurgents who endeavor to escape. Gen
Dombroski, wounded and seeking to fly
from his enemies, was turned back by this
German guard. M. Theirs delivered a
congratulatory address to the Versailles
assembly upon the success of the govern
ment, which he declared to be at least
three days earlier than was anticipated.

before June 18th. The Government alb
stained from making any declaration in
regard to the treaty beyond the state
ment that it was in the hands of the
printers, and would be laid before Parlia-
ment on Tuesday. In the course of the
debate, the idea of England apol0giSing
was ridiculed. 1t was also said that diplo-
macy would be impossible if it had to be
submitted to Parliament; besides, it was
the prerogative of the Crown to conclude
treaties on its own accountable steam

the removal of the capital of Italy to

GENERAL.
The dignifed Senators in special ses-
sion assembled, have been greatly exer-
cised at the premature publication of the
Washington treaty and a special COM
mittee has been smelling around to find
where the leak occurred. The CORES
pondents of the leading New York daily
papers have been examined, and two of
them, Messrs White and Ramsdell of the
New York Tribune, for refusing to disclose

will probably result in good to the tribes
of the far west-Edward RI. Rulloff was
choked off from a long career of crime by
the bapgman's rope, at Binghampton on
Thursday. He died as he had lived for
