VERSAILLES, April l3.-President
Theirs, in q circular bearing date the
evening Of the 18th, describes the situa-
tion as in the main unchanged, and says
the Government will act at the proper
time. Commune accounts OF victory
at Paris are as false as they are un-
principled. Our victory will come
bloodlessly. The Paris delegates have
arrived and were received, not because
they are Communists, but because they
are Republicans. The answer to them
was that no one menaces the Republic
but assassins. The lives of the insur-
gents will be spared, but workmen tenn
porarily subsidized must return to their
labor, and secession will be suppressed
as it has been done in America.
A dispatch from Marseilles says the
city is quiet. The police force has been

The Cri Du Peuple says Versailles
troops have been driven from Neuilly
and are flying towards Courbevoic.
The attack made Yesterday by the Yer
sailles forces was a failure.
The Orleans railroad has been cut
by Versailles troops.
There was heavy but interrupted
cannonade during the whole of last
night, which has grown more violent
this morning. Fort Mont Valerien is
firing heavily. The members Of the
Commune are personally on the field
to encourage their wearied troops. The
British Consul at Paris has warned all
Englishmen to leave the city.
VERSAILLES, April 13. 3.-Itis officially
announced that the alleged Communist
victories are entirely without foundation.
No engagement took place Tuesday and
Wednesday. There was merely an in
surgent fusilade, followed by cannonade.
There has been ne engagement this
morning. All roads leading to Paris
are occupied by Versailles troops.

A very remarkable example OF the
use Of the privileges OF detective Off
Ger occurred recently in New Orleans.
Some days ago the telegraph announced
the discovery in the street Of dead
body Of man named Chandler. There
were evidences OF the fact that the man
had been killed, both in the position in
which the body was found-precluding
the idea that he had died suddenly in a
fit, or otherwise naturally-and from
the fact that his neck was dislocated.
The suspicious of the officer were di.
rected against certain well-known evil
character, who, he had some reason for
believing, was implicated in Chandler s
death. 1t 80 happened that this officer
had been but recently commissioned,
and the fact of his connection with the
law was not generally known. He pro-
ceeded to ingratiate himself with the
suspected party, with the view, if posi-
ble, Of Turing him to a confession OF the
killing Of Chandler In the course Of
the unnatural intimacy that sprang up
between the officer and the suspected
man, burglary was planned, in coH.
junction with another rascal, and the
officer was invited to participate, it be-
ing understood that he would share in
the proceeds Of the robbery. The bur.
glary was committed, the officer doing
his share of the business, and the next
morning receiving $50 as his part of the
money obtained. This money he took
to the Superintendent Of Police, with
whom he had been in constant commu.
nication, and 10 whom he gave an &C.
count OF the burglary. Shortly after.
the man, whose secret he hoped to find
out took him into his confidence on the
subject of Chandler. He stated that he
and the third man in the burglary,
needing money to commence burglarious
enterprises, had assailed Chandler, with
the purpose of gsrroting him and rob.
bing him; but, as it happened, the vic.
tim died under the operation. Armed
with this knowledge, the detective threw
off disguise. and soon after went with
another officer to the den in which the
two villains were generally to be found
and arrested them as the murderers ol
Chandler. The case is q very singu.
| lar one-especially as regards the atti
tude Of ths officer in assisting at q bur
glary.

The High Commission and the San
Juan Boundary Question.
WASHINGTON, April l2.-The trouble
in the Joint High Commission over the
San Juan boundary question is not yet
decided, and the Commissioners on the
part of the two Governments are no
nearer agreement than fortnight ago
By provision OF the treaty Of 1853, fixing
the boundary between the United
States and British America from the
Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean,
it was stipulated that the line through
Puget's Sound should be in the center
of the channel. Around the island of
San Juan there are two channels,
: through both OF which vessels can pass.
The United States claim, however, that
the surveys, soundings. &c, show
that the northern is the main channel,
while the British Government insists
that the southern is the one referred to
in the treaty. All admit that the island
. is not worth having, and that neither
Government cares for it but because it
-. is subject in which the pride Of both
Governments has been enlisted neither
is willing to recede The only signii.
canoe of the contest is the principle
, involved. From present indications nc
agreement on the question will be ar
rived at.
