and FlOUrens, with 35, 900, are cue of /
and surrounded, and must either sur
render tonight or be cut to pieces in |

fused to fight, and are throwing down
their arms and begging for mercy.

issued to-day by Picard, to Projects of
departments, announces a victory for !

ment, together with 2000 prisoners, !
including General Henry. General |

CURED to-day on any other part OF the |

ance shown by the insurgents.

THE RADICALS ROUTED.
LONDON, April 4.-The lines spe- |
cial says that a great battle was /
commenced at six o'clock this morn !
ing with the Nationals under COM |
mand Of Bergeret, who at one o'clock |
asked for reinfOrcRments from Paris. |
There was much animation in BIZ |
vOuscs Of the Nationals on Sunday |
night, the men singing the Marseil- /
laise and chant on their departure.
The Versailles Times correspondent !
believes that the battle, which was on
a large scale, has proved disastrous to
the Communists. 1t is asserted that
the following is the situation: Ber-
geret with 1900 men was completely
cut of, then FleUreus was permitted |
to effect a junction with him, and |
that FIeureus and BeTgeret with 80, 600 |
men must surrender or fight at great |
disadvantage. 1t is reported, but i'm
prOable, that Fleureus has reached
Versailles, and it is believed that he
has been betrayed. Gendarmes
treat the prisoners Unmercitully. The |
Daily NelCS' dispatches confirm the |
rOut OF the insurgents, who proved to |
be great clustering towards, and who
expected that Nalerien would frater-
nize with them. The POntitical ZOu-
aves shot all the prisoners instantly.
ORDER RESTORED.
VERSAILLES, April 4.-The army
of Versailles surrounds Paris and or
der elsewhere in France is established. |
