DESPERATE FIGHTING AT NEUILLY-PRIsONERS
AND CANNON CAPTURED-THE COMMUNE d.
vIDED AGAINST ITsELF-THE CENTRAL COM
MTTEE UNDER ARREST.
LONDON. Friday, April 81, 1871.
A decisive engagement is impending at the Maillot
gate. the ramparts adjoining which are a heap of
ruins. The Arch of Triumph is suffering terribly
from the bombardment, and shells reach even the
rue Ia C0iysee. - -''"' = - -. ~. 81 ~
dispatch dated at Paris last evening says there
has been desperate house-to-house fighting all day
at Neuilly and Levallois. The forces of the Assem-
bly, have been reinforced at Neuily, but the aIti-
lery of the Federalists Communist defends with
great tenacty the barrcades opposite the position Of
the Versailles troops. Cannonading was incessant
throughout the day. The Yersaillists have not oc-
cupied the village Of Asnieres but intrenched at
the railway station and in the ColOmbes Wood. The
fire of the Versailles batteries greatly tries the Ma
tionals. and they have suffered heavily.
Versailles dispatch Of to-day says that several
barricades with a number Of prisoners and several
cannon were CAPTURED yesterday at Neuilly. The
cannon have been presented to NJ. Thiers, who, in
some remarks in reply, congratulated the troops
upon their achievement. The assertion of the Com
munsts that they have recovered the positions lost
on the 18TH is false. The PaTsians have been driven
70 the right bank Of the Seine, and have not at
tempted TO return to Asnieres. The Prussian mill
tary authorities have required the Government to
furnish information as to tho number of troops daily
arriving at Versailles.
Another revolution is imminent In Paris. The
Commune has arrested the Central Committee, ac-
eusing the members of negotiating with President
Theirs to betTay Paris The National Guards are in
dignant, and threaten to arrest the Commune un-
less the Committee is released. Complete anarchy
reigns.

Paris proposed in the Assembly that Committee Of
