Prussians and the Paris Forts.
PARIS, Wednesday night April 26-The de-
clsration of Prince Bismarck that the northern
forts shall remain in the hands of the Germans
gives great satisfaction to the Communists. The
gendarmes in st. Louis are becoming numerous,
and the loyal National Guards there have been
organized. M. Seguin, sous chief of the War
Office, attempted to reach Versailles, but was
arrested at the outposts. DR.. Dubois advanced
to explain that NJ. Seguin was a staff officer,
arranging the positions of the advanced posts,
and he was arrested also but afterwards libe-
rated.
The Rdppel says that correspondent of the
London Times has been arrested. 1t is stated
that while the
Prussians Hold st. Denis
the Northern Railway will remain open, and
carry provisions to the city. At 2 o'clock this
morning
Heavy Musletry Firing
was heard in the direction of Bas Meudon. In
this attack the Enfants Perdus lost very
severely. The gunboat Fancy was disabled,
and returned to Ponte Concorde this afternoon
with difficulty, all hands being kept pumping
the vessel.
The Fighting at Bas Meudon
continues. The batteries of Montmartre are
being heavily fortified.

LONDON, April 2S.-In the House of Com
mons last night Mr.. Disraeli, Notwithstanding
the concessions of the Government made an
unsparing attack on the Budget. He said the
Government, in frantically abandoning its other
proposals to save the tax of six pence on in
comes, had abandoned its dependence on lndi-
rect taxation. While he deprecated further
inposts on agriculture, he equally deplored leaV-
ing the deficiency to increase year by year.
He said the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
1863, erred in givisg up indirect taxes, and he
now sought to replace them by additions to
direct taxatisn. The Chancellor of the Exche-
qusr, Mr.. Lowe, defended the reconstructed
budget, and accepted postponement of its con-
sideIation to Monday next.
