PAR1s.-The general situation ut Paris
is unchanged, except that matters look
brighter for the besIegers and mere
gloomy for the insurgents, and that the
crisis has been greatly fastened by late
minor events. The Versailles army has
carried Fort Vanvres and the village Of
Issy, and are massing in the Bois de Bou-
logne for an assault Of the ramparts. The
Government troops increase daily, while
The insurgent army dwindles rapidly.
Meantime, also, the increasing dissensions
OF the Communists destroy their power
of resistance to those without and their
influence upon those inside of Paris
The execution of the Commune leaders
HAS been demanded by the papers a
court martial Of the Guards has been
ordered to try several of the members
under suspicion and attempts have
been made on the life of Dombrowski,
the insurgcnt commander The resist
ance OF the insurgents, under these cir
cumstances, cannot long be continued,
even ii their organization is maintained.

COMMON PLEAS BENcH.-The following ar.
ticle, as a reminder of the fact that there are
others talked Of, and likely to be brought out
as candidates for the Common Pleas bench,
beside the gentleman mentioned by us, we
chcerfully lay before our readers. II was no
part Of our intention, while penning the arti
Gle to which our correspondent nludes, TO
forestall sentiment, or in any way to be exclu-
sive in our preferences Both the gentlemen
named by our correspondent, are, as he says,
the peers of Mr.. CALDWELL, and shall, so far
as we are concerned, have q fair field, and if
endorsed by the nominating convention, have
"A hearty support:
Editor Telegraph In your editorial of last
week, headed "Declinature" in speaking OF
the coming election for Common Pleas Judge,
the fitness OF Mr.. Caldwell for that position,
and the probability or possibility that Judge
Chaffee may determine TO run again, you say
SHOULD lie determine to run again, these
two gentlemen-in case Mr.. Caldwell allows
his friends To use his name-wll probably
have the field between them, MS no other
Names so far as we know, have been spoken
Of"
Now, while fully concur in your opinion
of the qualifications and fitness of Mr. Cad
well for the place, and am confident that he
would be an ornament to the Bench, as he is
to the Bar, l desire TO set you right as to the
mention of the names of other gentlemen, in
connection with that office.
The friends OF Mr.. SMoNDs, OF jefferson,
and Of Mr.. BooTu Of Ashtabula, are using
their names, earnestly, as candidates for Com.
mon Pleas Judge and without detracting in
the least from the conceded ability and fitness
of Mr.. Caldwell or Judge Chaflec, for the posi-
ton, l am confident in saying, that, IN tho
opinion of those best acquainted with all the
gentlemen named, Messrs. Simonds and Booth
are the peers of either Mr.. Caldwell or Judge
Chatiee-as jursts, lawyers and gentlemen
and all that tends to qualify one for the re-
sponsible and honorable position of Common
Pleas Judge. That Judge ChaiIce has II lnud.
able ambition to be reelected, and consents To
tho use of his name, bv his friends, for that
purpose there is no doubt. A desire to avoid
any iorcgone conclusions as to who may be
candidates, and to give the friends of the sey.
eral candidates named. and such others us
may be named, an open field snd fair contest
induces this communication.
Very Respectfully,
