The Ball OPcned.-Sharp Fighting Be
tween the Insurgents and Govern
ment Troops.
NEw YORK, April 3.-The follow
ing is an Associated Press dispatch
received here this morning:
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING, April 2
via LONDON, April 3.-6 A. NJ. Fight
ing has been going on since yester-
day evening, at various points i'm the
Place de Concorde. This morning
cannonading was distinctly in the d.
rectiOn of Nevilly. Fortress Mont
Valerien opened upon the column OF
National Guards which was marching
i'm Cour-le-V aire, and kept up con-
tinuous fire for several hours, to pre-.
vent them from establishing them
selves i'm position. The National
Guards were finally compelled to re.
treat, after suffering considerable
loss.
A special to the London Times says
the fighting at CoT-le-Vaire was
sharp. Reports are conflicting as to
which side fired first. The National
Guards were at fist drawn into Cour-
le-Naire, where they maintained
themselves for time, protected by
the houses. They were at last shclled
out by Valerien, and fell back to the
bridge at Nevilly, where they kept
up hot fusilade. From this position
they were again forced to retreat, and
finally withdrew into the city and
shut the gates. The Versailles troops
attempted to follow.
An estimate, probably exaggerated,
puts the loss of the National Guards at
200.
The Government troops shot the
prisoners ak rebels.
There is great Indignation against
the Versailles troops.
Other special dispatches report that
seventy-four of the regiment of the
line came to Paris yesterday and fra
ternized with the National Guarns.
There was a continual movement of
the commune forces during the night,
and distant cannonading was audi
bic this morning. The rappel is beat
ing every where throughout the city.
A dispatch from Brussels, dated Sd,
says the second sitting of the Peace
Conference was held to-day.
A dispatch from. Paris this morning
says the commune has issued a procla-
nation couched in the following Ian.
guage. Attacked by the Versailles
Government, we have mission to
protect the city, and count upon
the aid af the citizens
LONDON, April 3, 10 IL. M.-Thc
Paris Commune has issued decree
arraigning Theirs, Favre, Picaid, Duff
faur, Simon and Poethuan before a

their properties to be seized. Anoth-

Guiding speech on the alleged ku-

tempting to Cypress and degrade the
South. At that point Gen. Butler
entered the chamber, and walked
over to the Democrats side, and, tax
ing q vacant chair beside Mr..
Davis, threw his head back, folded
mis- arms, and gave most impudent
and withal ludicrous star into the lat
tiers face. As Mr.. Davis turned half
around he saw Buffers position for
the first time and became very much
excited at what almost seemed to be
all apparition of the man he had just
been denouncing. Recovering HIM
self he continued to hurl epithcts in
Buffers face. The latter returned his
defiant stare, and the venerable Sena-
tor followed them with swinging
gesture right into Buffers face. The
galleries and Senate burst into great
merriment. In moment or so Mr..
Davis became SO enraged that he
could not proceed bat dropped into
his chair, which he turned half round
and returned the stare, saving. ~ on

this juncture, to prevent a Imminent
collision, Senator Wilson walked
over to that side of the chamber and,
stepping between the two, placed his
hands Oh the shoulders of both. said,
"Come, gentlemen, you will both re-
greet this, and motioned to Butler to
walk away. The latter did so, but
Davis rose at the same time, and fol-
lowed him few steps, saying, ''You
damned scoundrel. You God damn

proceeded with Wilson to the Repub-
lican side, where quite number of
Senators gathered around him, and
to whom he declared that be had been
grossly insulted. Other Senators
gathered around Mr.. Davis, and ell
deavered to pacify him. The lam
guage was not heard by the Chair, or
the galleries, and only by the Senators
sitting near the two, but the details
of the scene were soon spread over
