IMPENDING CHANGE IN THE TREASURY DEPART
MENT-SENATOR SUMMERS RELATIONS WITH
SECRETARY FISH-A SPEECH PREPARED ON
TIE SUBJECT.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEI
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April ls. 1871.
The conviction is daily becoming stronger here that a
change is contemplated in the Treasury Department
though there much doubt If It is made Immediately, as
no to Mr. Boutwell, is known TO have been Sc
ected. The dispatch from Vienna, to-day, announcing
that Mr. Say has been transferred to COnsantnople is
thought by some 10 reveal part OF the programme OF
the Administration in regard to this matter as 1t was
reported quite recently in certain circles here that MI
Boutwell, was to be made Minister TO Austria when he
left the Treasury Department The report that Senator
Morton is to succeed Mr. Boutwell, is however, without
the slightest foundation that gentleman having not only
denied it to-day, but having recently assured friend
that he will accept appointment from the Govern
ment.
Senator Sumner Is understood to have prepared a
speech in regard his relations with Secretary Fish
and the State Department but though he had the manu-
script with him the Senate to-day he has been per
suaded byfrends not 10 deliver it, The speech is said
to give a complete history of the Senator's connection
with the Motley affair and incidentally OF his dier-
ences with the President, all founded and sustained
by documents and letters 1t is said TO be very damaging
TO Mr. Fish Senator Morton was in conference with
Senator Sumner Ia the Senate for more than an hour
to-day the whole subject Of Mr.. Summers differences
with the Administration being talked in an earnest
and excited manner, Mr. Sumner denying that he mad
attacked the President and claiming that the country
was with him. Mr. Morton replied that he was mistaken
in this; that his speech was without effect, ana that
few or no journals in Indiana supported Mr.. Sumner
The Soldiers and Sailors and some Republican Clubs
serenaded Clayton this evening. Mr.. Clayton
spoke of the KuKux and asserted his belief that

REPORTS FROM VERSAILLES.

PARIS TO BE STARVED OUT-PRUsSIAN GUNS
BEARING UPON THE CITY-AsNIERES NOT
YET OCCUPIED BY THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THB TR1BUNEl
LONDON Tuesday April Is, 1871.
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at
Versailles in telegram dated yesterday states that
Paris is to be starved out. The Prussians agree to
stop revictualing the city by way of St. Denis.
Nineteen Prussian guns at the Fort de lEst are
pointing toward Montmartre and La Chapelle The
Prussian officers at st. Denis say they are sure of
occupying Paris The alarm was sounded at o'clock
this morning at St. German, and the cavalry
marched out.
The statement that Asnieres has been occupied by
the Versailles troops is unfounded. The insurgents
were considerably reinforced last night. and they
now occupy the greater part of Colonies and the
Bots de Coombes. They have Elk iron-clad car
IMAGES on the railway.
LuIHer's Seine notilla is aground, the Versailles
troops having opened the lock-gates Picard has
ordered the police search the trains for travellers
going to Paris with the purpose of fomening sedi-
ton there he having been informed that great num-
bers of foreigners are attempting to take part IN the
disorders No one is allowed 10 enter the city with
out a good reason.
