WORK.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
LONDON, Thursday, April q, 1871.
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at Yer
sailles telegraphs this morning as follows:
Active operations began yesterday. Three great
lines of batteries opened or Forts Vanvres and
DIssy Some men were wounded and the embra-
sures were damaged In the center fire OF IL guns
of heavy calber was maintained There was q
marked superiority over the fire OF Fort u ssy'
which was kept up at long intervals
To-day the fire of Fort DIssy has been sllenced'
and the barracks IN the fort have been entirely de-
stroyed. breach five yardsin length has alse Deeh
made in the walls. This morning the village OF
Les Moulineaux, near Fort D'Issy was taken.
-Four insurcent shells fell at Creteuil destroying
cannon and killing two sailors and wounding five
others. An artillery captain was killed at Chatillon
The rise in the Seine has enabled the two insurgent
cunboats to advance to the bridge at Point-du-Jour
and their firing does some damage
The Government troops attempted to cross the
bridge at at Asnieres yesterday morning but the fire
WAS too strong for them. Yesterday some shells fell
inside of Fort du Mont Vaeren and the fort replied
with great fury. Theirs received deputaton OF
suburban mayers who then went to Pans to make
fresh attempts at Cancellation.
Louis Blanc questioned Dufaure In the Assembly
today on tho recent circular and condemned the in
structions to continue the struggle. Many municipal
councils he said, urged conciliation the policy of
the Government was that of procurators and not OF
statesmen Dufauro in reply said that the order
from Pans preaching Cancellation was hypocriteaL
The Government would be ooneiliatory when the
Insurgents had laid down their arIas, according to
Ihierss circular to the Projects.
The Assembly, at the request of Dufaure has post
poned for month the debate on the conduct Of the
Government of National Defense.
