The final contest in the streets, on Satur-
day night, was the last stand Of the Commu-
nists, and they fought more desperately than
ever before. 1t was of no avail, however;
the troops steadily drove them back, and on
Sunday planted the tri-color on the heights
of BellevilIe and La Villette All accounts
concur in saying that the slaughter among
the Insurgents was immense, while the soldiers
suffered com paratively little. Minister Wash
burnc, in his kilograms to the State Depart
ment, confirms the report of the murder OF
Archbishop Darboy. Sixty-nine other priests
were shot at the same time. Both Victor
Hugo and Jules Favre have written letters
condernning the instruction. The latter says
that the acts Of TIC insurgents are OF a crimi-
nal and not political nature, and he desires
neighboring nations to deliver up those who
may enter their territory.
TUESDAY.
The French government having finally CON-
quered Paris, is getting rid Of the Communist
leaders by executing them as fast as they are
caught. The streets are so filed with dead
bodies: that it is proposed to burn them as a
sanitary measure. Among the hostages muir
dered by the Communists were the noted i'm
perialist banker tecker, Abbes Suia and Du-
query aud ten nuns. The loss of the army
is placed at less than three thousand, and
that of the Communists at from forty to forty
five thousand.
"WEDNESDAY. ..s-'
This mornings dispatches bring fresh assn:
RANGES that tranquility is returning to Paris
although there are constant discoveries made
of stores of petroleum, and a secret system OF
arson and assassination is apprehended. The
losses of the insurgents have been frghtful,
numbering over twenty-five thousand, aRd
there arc some fifty thousands prisoners in
the hands of the Government, while the lat
t.r report only forty officers and six hundre !
men missing during the whole siege, although
since their entrance into Paris they have had
three thousand, killed and wounded. The
welcome news is also received that the Ma
tional archives, the National Library and the
Museum of the Louvre are safe, but the Co.
belin Mandatory and the Observatory are
badly damaged. Much irritation prevails a.
gainst Communists who, to the number Of
eight thousand, speak the English language,
though the dispatch says that doubtless such
Communists have learned the language whilst
scjourning in America.
| THURSDAY.
Now that the Paris insurrection has been
crushed, the next agitation is arising in the
shape of iutrigues for the overthrow of the
THEIRS Government, which is believed to be
too weak to continue IN power. 1t is stated
that the Bourbonists and Orleanists in the
National Assembly have formed coalition,
aud that the Orleans Princes Joinville and
D'Aumale have given in their adherence to
tho Ronrhon DIXIE de Chambord known a.
mongst the Legitimists as Henry Fifth, as
King, in whose favor caup detat is expect
ed. Ernest Picard has resigned his seat in
Theirs Ministry, and is succeeded by LaFranc.
The Government still Furnishes the captured
Communists with unrelentiDg severity, all
leaders being shot as quickly as they are
caught. Large sums of money have been
fonnd on the bodies of mapy of them. The
s 6as bssa rha tai.
ian Government has agreed to Immediately
surrender all the Communists who escape Into
that country.
