A special correspondent of the New
York Tribune, at Paris, under date of
Monday, telegraphs that yesterday after
noon the insurgents were driven from the
Chateau de la Muelte. They subsequently
rallied and held the enceinte with con-
| siderable tenacity, but were finally driven
back with heavy loss by the heavy fire of
the Versailles batteries. At 0 o'c.otk,
Dumbrowski, under cover of a couple Of
guns, charged the Cemetery des Pauvres.
He was met by firm and whitening fire.
and The insurgent lines became broken
and dlsorganized. However, they again
attempted TO storm the cemetery, and
hand TO hand fighting followed, but the
report that Dumbiowski was killed, caus-
ed the insurgents to become panic-s,rick.
en-. A pause of a few hours succeeded,
when suddenly the batteries on the hill
opened on the encien,e railway, and
showers Of shell aud hail OF musketry
weIe pouted On it. The insurgents es-
sayed feeble reply. Suddenly heavy
firing from the north was heard. "A mad
panic ensued, arms and packs wer,
thrown away and all holted, the officers
leading. They surged and struggled and
biasphemed up The quay in great confI
sion, shot and shell chasing them. They
were in the extremity of panic, and blazed
away indiscriminately, and struck eacl
other with their dubbed rifles. As the
tide OF fugitives swept along up, will
;hem relieving battslions came, imparting
fresh panic. The fire of The Yersailist,
reached Trocadero. The avenue between
the Arc de Triomrse and Rand Point wa:
packed dcnsely with iugitives. The Com
munists showed themselves behind the
big barricade in the Place de la Con
corde, but did not fire. a Versaillists
battery below the arch swept the Chanp:
Eiysees. The Versaillist pressed On the
Avenue Friedlsnd TO the open space al
the top Of the Boulevard Haussmanp.-
Thence they could sweep the Boulevard
Malesherbes to the Madeline, and open
the way 10 the Rue Royale.
