can Ambulance Corps, is seriously Ill.
Complete ROut of the Nationals.
The Daily Ne,oS' special says the Nationals
attacked the Government troops on Tuesday
near Meudon, and suffered complete rout.

Doubtful story.
1t is rumored that twenty thousand Nationals
have entered Versailles, but the report is con-
sidered of doubtful authenticity.

Strength of the Communists
consists of 120, 900 men and 200 guns.

VERSAILLES, April 5.-M. Picard has issued

with two thousand prisoners. NJ. Flourens and
NJ. Duval are dead and Henry prisoner.

this condition OF affairs, which is only what it
has expected"
Details of the Late Battle.
III
have been received of the recent battle before
Paris. General Bergerot commanded the right
wing of the Communists, with General Flourens
in his rear as a support. General Duval COM
manded the centre, and General Eudes the left
wing.
The left and left centre suffered more heavily
in the engagement than the right, but were pro-
tected in their retreat by the fire of the forts
held by the Communists. The Nationals were
badly organized, and having but limited sup
ply, were soon out of ammunition. Many tried
to return to Paris, but they found the gates
shut, ard men posted on the rampants who
threatened to shoot them if they attempted to
re-enter the city.
The contest at lie Bas Meudon was exceed
ingly bloody. The firing of the batteries manned
by artillerists from the Versailles army is pro-
nounced fully equal in spirit and effect to the
German bombardment of Paris.
despatch from Versailles says that the Gov
ernment is disposed to show the greatest kind
ness and humanity to the insurgents.
