cavalry, was by this time in a position

Theirs SAYS: 1.-The Government will
exercise elemency toward all who have
been blindly misled. but viii punish the
ringleaders with severity. The insurrec-
ton is impotent"
The Array Of Versailles surrounds
Paris, and order elewhere in France is
established.
The redoubt at Chatillon, held by the
insurgents, was captured by the forces Of
the Government, with 1900 prisoners,
including Gen. Henry. Gen. Duyal was
shot
In the Assembly, NJ. Theirs, in some
remarks ON the state of affairs, said the
Government would deal harshly with the
ringleaders OF the instruction, but leni-
entity with their dupes. The sentiment
was received with applause.
The London Times special dispatch
from Paris says levy has been ordered,
TO consist of all men between the ages
of seventeen and thirty-five. The
churches ofthe Madeline and Assumption
have been pillaged by mob.
The Deputies Of Paris have agreed in
principle, and will draw up manifesto
10 the people of France, demanding the
maintenance of the Republic, and claim
ing for the municipal body Of Paris the
right of deciding all questions relative to
the organization of the city, particularly
as regards instruction, finances and pub
lie, worship, and that, as basis of con-
citation, the position of the National
Guard as the Guard of Paris must be
recognized
The Assemblies occupy all the roads
TO Versailles. II is considered probable
/ that the whole column of Gen. Bergeret
are prisoners. Five hundred women and
children accompany the Federalist
troops. Communication by telegraph
with Paris has ceased, the wires having
been cut by the insurgents. The city is
again isolated, and all dispatches have
to be sent from points outside the lines
of the National Guards.
A later dispatch from Paris, says
"The situation is hourly becoming more
alarming. The forces of the Commune
are growing stronger and holder.
Thiers's proposition to treat has inspired
the Commune with fresh hopes, and it is
believed that they have 100, 900 men who
will boldly fight the Government troops,
retain the conquered positions, and
make no advances for peace. A battle
is raging in the fields between Chatillon
and Vanvres. From the latter place the
insurgents maintain an incessant fire
from behind the fort. Crowds of women
and children, frantic with grief, are
searching each ambulance as it arrives
for the bodies of their husbands and
fathers. The slaughter on both sides
was fearful. Terror reigns, and the
prisons are crowded. The churches
and houses of the aristocrats are pillaged,
and all priests imprisoned. A great
many murders have taken place. On
this Good Friday there were 10 religious
services in Paris German intervention
is now believed to be the only hope"
Details of the fighting at Pont de
Neuilly, have been received. The Com
munists, who were posted in small forces
lat Courbevoie, were dislodged by the
guns of Fort Valerien. They rallied in
the Avenue de Neuilly, and opened fire
on the Versailles troops, who appeared on
the heights. The Communists were
again force to retire behind the bridge
of Neuilly, which they barricaded. Their
pursuers then shelled heavily in attempt
ing to hold the bridge and fell into
temporary disorder but they succeeded
in extricating their cannon, and aban-
doned the bridge, taking refuge in the
houses ON the eastern bank of the river.
The Versailles troops occupied the build
ings on the other side, and SHARP
fusilade was kept up across the river
They then pushed across the bridge and
advanced in pursuit of the retreating in
surgents. The guns of the ramparts
opened a heavy fire, sweeping the Avenue
de Neuilly with shells, and checking the
pursuit The Communists again com
menced to throw up barbados across
the avenue, under the protection of the
l artillery on the walls but they were
7 ultimately driven out of Neuilly an(
; withdrew beneath the ramparts..
: 1t is reported that NJ Theirs is avers'
to forcing an entrance into Paris by
3 fighting, and that he prefers to reduce
the city by investment.
A circular issued by President Theirs
and bearing date of the 7th, says " Yes
terlay the gemdoTmerie carried the insur
gent position at Courbevoie, and tO-da,
the bridge at Neuilly was carried by tn
Government troops. Gen. Montaubal
was slightly, and Gen. Pechot seriously
wounded. The losses of the insurgent
are immense, and the positions capture,
are of decisive importance.
Z The Versailles army is now under com
I mand of Marshal MacMahon, and ha
e been divided into four corps, of whicl
one held in reserve has Gen. Vinoy at it
head, while the others have been ordere
into active service, under command G
Gems. Ladmirault, Cissey, and Dubarail

amendment to the Election law, to tn
z effect that all mayors throughout Franc
shall be chosen by the people, the Gov
x eminent insisted upon having the az
pointment of some of them placed in it
hands M. Theirs even threatening t
resign if that power was not confded t

pointment of mayors in all towns havin
