the Commune, complaining that he had
not received proper support, In the follow
ing words. 1.-Two courses were open tc
our forces, viz. to break through the OBJ
stacles which environ Paris, or to retire
the former has been found TO be impOssi
BILE, therefore we have retired" He says
lie cannot endure TO hold responsibility
where everybody deliberatcs, where no
body obeys orders, where nothing Is or
ganized, and where guns depend for ser
vice upon few volunteers. In continue
tion, the General complains that reinforce
