th.e Avenue Bruno in the direction of the Arc
de Trionirhe.
Under the empire there was no Avenue
Bruno. Since the overthrow of Napoleon
there have been made several changes of
Names and we think that the name of the
Avenue de pImperatrice has been changed to
that of Bruno and the name of the Porte de
pImperatrlce to that of Montrouge. The ave-
nue. is short one, running obliquely in
northeast direction from the ramparts to the
place Of the Arc de Triomphe.
ALL THE WESTERN RAMpARTs ABANDONED.
AS send this despatch troops are pouring
down on both points, their entrance to the
city being almost entirely unopposed. can,
in fact safely report that all the ramparts on
the west side Of Paris have been abandoned.
THE ARC DE TRIoMpHE REACHED.
A report has just reached me to the effect
that the government forces which marched up
the Avenue Bruno have reached the Arc de
Trlomphe, meeting with but slight resistance
from the insurgents, who fell back steadily
before them.
INSURGENTS GUNS TURNED ON THEM.
The guns on the ramparts were not carried
off by the Communists, and they have now
been turned against the barbados which form
| the line Of defence to which the insurgents
| have retired.
TROOPS POURING INTO TUE CITY.
Forty thousand government troops are now
| pouring through the open gates on the west
side of the city and 10000 more are concen-
| trated under the guns Of Fort Issy on the
| south side, waiting for an order to advance.
1t is not yet known that the ramparts on the
south have been abandoned, but it is generally
believed that they either have been already
or that they will be during the night
| THE PUBLIC FEELING.
It is impossible to describe the excitement
and joy which prevail in Versailles tonight.
Whether the insurgents will offer serious
resistance at the barbados is yet matter Of
doubt, which can only be cleared up by the
advance Of the troops tomorrow. Some per-
sons believe that the rank and file Of the Com
munists have deserted or will desert their
leaders en- mosSe, and that there will be no
more fighting; but their opinions and specu-
lations are not shared by many.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ENTRANCE

AFFAIRS ON THE SOUTH.
General Cissey reports that Malakof and
Fort Montrouge have been abandoned by the
insurgents and will soon be occupied by his
command, but the batteries on the ramparts
opposite are still firing.
