AN ENGAGEMENT NEAR PARIs--ADvANCE OF
THE INSURGENTS.
A serious engagement took place this morn
eminent and those of the Commune A column
Of about two thousand insurgent National
Guards which had been stationed at the bridge
of Neuilly moved from that point and marched
on the village of Courbevoie, situated on the
peninsula Of Germevilliers, not far from Fort
Mont valerien.
THE FIRST SHOT.
The insurgents were met by force of
gendarmes and the Gardes F0restiers when
near their destination. As the hostile forces
neared each other the captain Of the Gardes
ward. waving his cap as if he desired to
address the communists. Before he could say
anything, however, Zouave, one of the
deserters from the regular army, in the ranks
Of the insurgents, fired at and shot him dead.
THE FIGHT-RoUT OF THE INSURGENTS.
This cold-blooded murder was the signal
fer general action between the two
fUrces, during which the gendarmes took
1--WE prisoners, whom they shot immedi-
diately. One of the prisoners was an old
man Of seventy-six years of age. Dur
Ing the engagement the guns Of Fort Mont
Yalericn swept the roads between Puteaux,
Courbevoie and Neuilly. The contest lasted
till one o'clock in the afternoon, when the
communists fed into Paris, having lost twen-
ty-fve of their number killed and many
wounded.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.
At the present writing the excitement in
Paris is tremendous. The National Guards
still hold Porte Maillot, and battalions Of in
fantry and batteries Of artillery are hurrying
forward in that direction. The rappel is beat
ing throughout Paris and the forces of the
Commune are manning the ramparts of the
city.
