FULL TEXT OF THEIRS REPORT TO THE PROJECTS.
The following is the Official report In full, which,
telegraphed from Versailles. was published on Sun

VERSAILLES, April 16-5:45 p. M.
The government was silent yesterday because It
nad no event oil Importance TO make known to the
puplic and II It speaks to-day 1t Is only that evil
minded aarmisIs may not abuse Its silence IN order
10 propagate false reports. The cannonade upon
the two eXtremitles of our Decentralization
to the south, CourDevOie to the north-was very
insignificant last night. Our troops are getting ac-
customed to sleep amid this roar OF cannon, which
can only be maintained to keep them awake. We
have therefore, nothing to relate, except that the
Insurgents are stripping the pnncipal houses III
Pas in order to sell the furniture for the benefit Of
the Commune, which constitutes the most odious OF
spoiatlons fhe government persists In its system
OF temporzing for two reasons which 1T can avow--
in the first place, to be able to collect forces so
imposing that resistance Will be impossible and
consequently less sanguinary; and In the next
place, TO allow misguided men time to recover their
reason. They are told that the government wishes
to destroy the rcpublic-which Is absolutely false,
its sole endeavor being TO put an end to civil war,
to restore order credit and labor and to procure the
evacuation Oh the territory by the discharge
of the obligations contracted toward Prus.
told that we desire TO shoot tnem-all which
again Ia false the government granting
pardOns to all who lay down their arms, as 1t has
done IN the case OF the 1000 whom 1t now maintains
at Belle Isle without exactng any service from them.
They are also told that being deprived Of the sub
sidy which enables them to live, 1t Is intended to
cause them TO de OF starvation, which Is as false as
the other statements, since the government has
promised them some weeks continuance OF the SUBJ
sldy to provide them with the means OF awaiting
tain II order oe restored and submission to the law
obtained To enlIgnten these men who have
been thus misled while preparing the means
oil depressing their misconduct should they persist,
sucn has been the Intention OF the government; and
If some cannon shots have been heard, that Is not
to make 1t believed that they were fighting when
they hardly dared TO show themselves. Here Is the
truth OF the position OF afIarS complete, and for q
certain number Of days 1t VIII be the same. We
therefore entreat all good citizens not to alarm
themselves If upon any day the government hay
1t Is acting, and action Is only to De Judged by
suits. Those results must be waited Tor without
hurrying thcm or they may be delayed by precipl.
