The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-01-29

The following is the continuation of the
despatch forwarded by the New YORK HERALD
correspondent in Paris and dated on the 23d
inst.
RESUME.
1.-THE first part, published in the HERALD of
yesterday, described the attempted revolt in
Paris. The turbulent residents of the Belle
vile and Charonne districts assembled in front
of the Mazas Prison, which they broke open
soners. They subsequently dispersed but met
again in front of the Hotel de Vile on Sunday,
the 23d, and, aided by battalion Of Ma
tional Guards, demanded q surrender of the
government. A collision ensued. The mob
fired upon an officer of the Gardes Mobiles,
severely wounding him. The fire was re-
turned and the rioters fed, the guards making
no effort to arrest the leaders.
FLoURENs DISAPPEARS.
Continuing, the HERALD correspondent
writes:- 1T is a notable fact that Flourens,
who was prominent among the rioters before
shot was fred, was not seen again after the
first discharge.
STRINGENT MEASURES.
This morning an official order has been
issued which forbids future meetings of clubs
and suppresses two incendiary journals-the
Combat and the Reoei. The people generally
approve the firm stand against the rioters by
General vinoy.
THE CHANGE OF RULERs-TRooHU's NcoM-
PETENCY.
Indeed, much satisfaction is felt at the great
change effected in rulers during the past forty
eight hours. A few weeks age it would have
been regarded as treason to oppose Trochu;
now, he is removed from command, if not
actually degraded. For many days past it
had been evident that such must be his fate.
All are willing to admit his personal honesty,
bravery and conscientiousness but few, if
any, are willing to deny his complete failure
in the crisis now upon the country. His four
months rule have been four months of de-
crees, proclamations and promises, but not
one successful fight. He even failed to or
ganize the army during the four months, for it
is now little better than an armed mob.
vINoY's RESPONSIBILITY.
General Vinoy is now the real spirit of the
defence. Although, unfortunately too late to
hope, he gets the responsibility of future
events when every chance of success is dead.
1t is impossible not to sympathize with man
who, in his SEVENTEEN year, after life of
service to the country, accepts such hope
less task.
STILL FOR RESISTANCE.
Yet even now it is difficult to find man
or woman who will boldly say, 'Let us capitu-
late" A few days since, while the usual
crowd of women was waiting to receive the
rations of three hundred grammes of bread,
one poor wretch, half dead with fatigue,
cold and hunger, enciente and wasted
by misery, exclaimed, Mon Dieu i! que celia
.tfaaisse." (My God when will this end) She
was Immediately surrounded by the other
starving and suffering women of the neighbor-
hood, who abused and hustled her about till
she tainted on the street. She was rescued
by some men who were passing and carried
to the ambulance This illustrates the moral
cowardce of the people. Every one of these
women, when alone in their wretched, cold
rooms, would say, with tears in their eyes,
mon Dieu que celia .1iaisse."
FOOD GOING
During the past six days there has been an
increase of 500 in the mortality report. So
far as food is concerned that gets scarcer every
day. The decrease in the supply is percep-
tible. The Prussians may fail to shell Paris
into submission, but the poor, suffering people
must soon yield to Famine greater General
than even Won Moltke. Before three weeks
more have passed it is certain that the end of
the siege of Paris will have come.
