ST. DENIS, May %, p.m.-Fighting
1 in Paris has ceased. Marshal McMa-
hon and President Theirs will enter

diately shot.
VERSAILLES, May pa dispatch
of Monday evening says that Yer
| sailles troops occupied the station of
| the Versailles railroad on Boulevard
! Mont Parnasse, within a short dis
/ tance of the Luxembourg.
General Clincham has turned the
insurgent position at the Tuileries,
and made eight to ten thousand
prisoners.
Itis stated that the Versaillists have
occupied the Place NendOme, the
| Tuileries aud the Hotel de Vile.
NJ. Assy is certainly in custody, and
it is reported that Felix Pyat has also

PARIS, May %, nOon.-The Yer
sailles flag now floats over Mont
martre. The whole city is evidently
in possession of the forces of the As
sembly.
VERSAILLES, May 23.-The isola-
| ton of Paris by the Prussians is now
/ complete. General DOmbrOWski was
wounded and endeavOred to make his
escape from the Versailles troops, bat
was prevented by the Prussians. The
/ enthusiasm among the population was
immense. BattaliOns of friends of
Z mi TyF
gents make no attempt to break the
PrUssian line OF sncirclement. The
Prussian troops are ordered to open
fire on the insurgents if they approach
within five hundred PAGES. The Yer
sailrists are occupying place after place
in the city today.
VERSAILLES, May %. - General
Cissey's forces carried the barricade in
Chausse de Main, in the southern part
of the city Of Paris.
The operations of the troops are
progressing satisfactorily everywhere,
and a complete suppression of the in
surreCtiOn is expected to-day or to-
morrow.
The losses of the VersailIists in to-
days fights are small.
Sunday morning the insurgents
were driven from Chateau de la
Maiette. They subsequently rallied,
and held the enciente with cOnsidera-
bic tenacity, but were finally driven
back with heavy loss by heavy fire
! from the Versaillists' batteries. At 9
O'Clock DOmbrOwski, under cover OF
! two guns, charged the Cemetery des
| PaUvies, where he was met by a firm
and whitening fire, and the insUrgent
| lines became broken and disOrganiZed.
They again attempted to storm the
! Cemetery, and hand to hand fighting
! followed, but the report that Dom
brOWski was killed caused the insur-
gents to become panic stricken. A
pause Of a few hours succeeded, when
suddenly the batteries on the
hill opened on the enciente
and a shower Of shells and hail of
mUsketry pour on it, The insurgents
/ essayed q feeble reply.
Suddenly heavy firing from the
north was heard. A mad panic en-
sued, and, arms and packs thrown
away, all bOlted, officers leading.
They surged and struggled, and bias
phemed up the quay, in great cOniu-
sion, shot and shell chasing them.
They, in the extremity of the panic,
blszed away quite indiscriminately
and struck each other with dubbed
rifles. AS the tide Of tugitive5 swept
along, the relieved battaliOns came
UP and impaired a fresh panic.
