their skirmishers toward vanvres and DIssy ordered
q terrific artillery fire to be opened upon them.
driving them back and at last completely sIlencing
the redoubts OF Chailllon and Moulin de Pierres,
Hearing OF the cannonade Cluseret sent a
despatch to Bergeret, reproachlng him with
acting without orders and commanding HIM In q
formal manner to stop the 1rlng This Bergeret re-
fused 10 do aud sent back word to Cuseret that he
would receive no orders rom him couched In such
terms Berg ret was very much incensed and even
said In the presence OF several persons that he sus-
pected Clu5eret OF treason. This morning they met
at table and quarrcei violently, and although they
have arranged 1t partially, they are IN q state of
war. Cluseret is much cooler than Bergeret, and
appeared comparatively calm; but, observing him
closely, could see that he was in violent passion.
There Is evidently great Jealousy between them,
