The Partisan Horror.

The eXpiring French revolution ended It's
DAYS in Paris in a saturana of crime and
Mood~hcd which has scarcely IA parallel i'll the
worlds history. The leaders and supporters
OF the Commune, finding their reign at an end,
protracied a useless resistance by fighting in
the streets of Paris accompanied by the most ter
ribc CNeeSseS. The streets ran with blood and
were heaped with cor1scS Inccndiary fires
We're hinded, not spariug the most elegant,
costly or venerable buildings, or the palaces
that were the treasures of art. Day after day
The fires ragged. Aid was summoned from
England, Belgium and al accessible countries
to aid in cXtingui Shing the flames. AT the
last accounts the Versailles government had
established it, authority, and was rapidly over
coming The rutlianism. We make some eX-
tracts from dispatches showing the terror
that reigned in the once gay capital of the
world
