says: In the affair at Asnieres yesterday
the Two Hundred and Twenty-eighth
battalion of the National Guards retreat
ed inside Of Porte crying "all is lost"
The people charged the Nationals with
cowardice, and hot fight ensued between
the civil and military adherents Of the
Commune. Levallois presents horrible
spectacle, the Nationals carousing and the
wounded lying in the streets groaning.
1t is strange the government did not fol-
low up the attack. They must have sue
ceeded. At Neuilly body of gen darmes
has been cntrenched for the last eight
days, and in spite Of the whitening fire
still hold out.
News of the reverse at Asnieres, yester-
day, caused great excitement in Paris.
An Englishman in restaurant near the
Invalides was grossly insulted for not
bearing arms.
A shell fell yesterday in the Faubourg
St. Honore. The Communists are dig
ging trenches in front of Fort Vanvres,
and the government troops are doing the
same opposite Paris. Last night shells
were falling in the Rue DIES Ternes.
An attack towards Asnieres is expect
ed. The Nationals are manning the
ramparts.
A bloody combat has been raging at
Neuilly since six in the morning. The
commandant Of the Two Hundred and
Sixty-frst battalion Of Nationals was
killed. The commandant of artillery was
wounded and arrested as traitor. The
Nationals are now retreating in large
numbers. They set fire to number of
houses in Ncuilly, and the inhabitants,
hidden in cellars, being unable to extricate
themselves, were burned in the ruins.
The inhabitants of Neuilly petitioned
for an armisticc to remove women and
children, but Gen. Cluserct refused the
favor.
