respondent telegraphed from Paris Mon.
day evening that the natives of Alsace
and Lorraine are all exempted from mill
tary service on the production of q GER
tifcate of birth. They are thankful for
the interference of the Prussisns which
secures to them this exemption. Crowds
of people are on the Insight of Montmor-
tire watching the artillery duel. Notices
have been served upon persons between
10 and 40 years of age threatening court
martial in each case if they do not march
Immediately to the rendezvous appointed.
Just now company of the 18th battal-
lion is surrounding the Rue Montmartre
to disarm the 18th battalion. The troops
are disheartened and refuse to go out to-
night. This evening shells were falling in
the avenue Friedland. Avenues des Ferries,
Elysees, and Josephine were swept by
mitrailleuses and the Inhabitants were
flying in all directions, seeking shelter.
The barricades in the Rues Rivoi and
Castiglioni are being enlarged and prep
arations are being made for desperate re-
sistance. Gen. Bergeret is at liberty.
The Central Committee denies the report
of its resignation and says like the Ma
tional Guard it will only disappear when
liberty is attained. A fish train on the
Northern railroad was stopped to-day and
this morning provisions on the Stras-
bourg railroad were seized.
hcArmistice-FOrt Char
ent0n.
PARIS, Tuesday evening, April a.
All movements have been suspended to-
day in consequence of the armistice. The
benigerents have been engaged in building
and repairing barricadeS. Many placards
urging Cancellation have been posted.
The Reviele says the daily revenue of the
Commune averages six hundred thousand
francs, and is sufficient to provide for the
men under arms and the conduct of the
war. A delegation from Lyons appeals
to the Assembly and the Commune to
cease their fratricidsl strife.
The reports that the Prussians have
evacuated Charenton are unfounded. The
Communist and Versailles troops confront
each other before the place, in expecta-
ton of its evacuation.
The armistice ccasioned holiday to
half of Paris. Numerous sight seers
visited Neuilly. Many of the inhabitants
too poor to remove, chose to remain. To
the disputed territory destruction is COM
plete.
VERSAILLES, April 26-Fort D'Issy re-
piled but feebly yesterday to the fire of
the batteries of the Versailles army at
Meudon, Creteuil and Chatillon. 1t is
thought the insurgents will soon eVacuate
the fort, as the incessant fire of the gov
eminent batteries prevents repairs of the
breaches already made in its walls. The
army of Assembly are establishing pom
toon bridge across the Seine at Puteaux
and Neuilly.
Provisions Cut off from Paris.
LONDON, April ga dispatch from
Brussels says the Northern Railway Com
pany has notified all its station-masters
that blockade of Paris commences at
once, and that provisions destined for the
French capital must be retransmitted to
theA senders.
LONDON, April ga Tribune special
correspondent of Versailles Tuesday
says: The Algerian member of the AS
semby said that the instruction was most
alarming. Dispatches are hourly received
demanding aid. The instruction was
an imitation of that in Paris, with the
object of pillage. Picard replied that
measures had been taken to suppress the
guthrie ak, and that the accounts of the
instruction had been exaggerated.
