General ROsselo
PARIS, May 5-Friday noon.-Your eorrespon-
dent saw General Rossel this morning. He
complained of the erroneous statements pub
lished about him. He denied that he had de-
manded a commission from NJ. Theirs, and it
was refused. Since the capitulstion of Paris,
the ties binding him with the army had been
broken, and he remained at his post simply to
finish the work he had in hand. For long time
past his convictions were antagonistic to the
former social organizations of old France which
had just succumbed in such cowardly manner.
Great CONSERVATION
prevailed in the Quarter des Gobelins to-day
respecting the three battalions captured at
Moulin Sauquet, who all belong to that quarter.

ships under his charge
VERSAILLES, May 5.
Jules Favre and Quertier,
Minister of Finance, have started to meet
Prince Bismarck at Frankfort. 1t is thought
the cause of the meeting has reference to money
matters. The truth is that
The German Authorities
have telegraphed the Versaillists that If they do
not enter Paris by Monday the Prussians will on
Tuesday. N. Favre hopes to gain an extension
of time, but he is unlikely to succeed 1t is
probable that the Prussians will
Bring Back the Empire
if they enter. NM Favre and Simon are likely
to resign shortly, in consequence of the dissen-
sions in the Assembly.
There was no firing to-day, but it will begin
from Montretout tomorrow. 1t is believed
Grand Attack will be Made
on Sunday night. The troops are in excellent
condition.
Moulin Sauquet was taken by a stratagem. A
sergeant, dressed in a blouse, pretending to be
drunken National, cut down the sentry, and
before there was time to give an alarm the rest
rushed in. Nearly
1000 Prisoners were Taken Yesterday.
