His personal fitness for the posi-

whether the appointment is polite

interests Judge Wilson. and which
time will develop. The removal
Of Isaac Julian was proper and tc

VERSAILLES, May rs. President
Theirs to day issued a circular of
information to the Provinces as
follows;
1--WE are masters of Paris except
the small portion, which we will
occupy to day. The Louvre has
been saved. The Hotel of the
Minister OF Finance has been Dor.
TALLY burned, and the Tuileries
and the Palais du Quai D'Orsay, in
which the Council of State holds
its sessions, are wholly destroyed.
We have already twelve thous-
anil prisoners. The soil of Paris
is strewn with insurgent corpses.
Our loss is small. The army has
behaved admirably. Justice will
soon be satisfied, and France be
happy in the midst of her own
misfOrtunes.
The destruction eaf tao public
buildings still goes on, among
those reported destroyed, beside
the Tuileries, being the Palais
Royal, the Palace of Luxembourg,
and the Hotel de Vile. A portion
Of the Louvre is Wrested from the
flames, and its works of art are
safe i'll vaults. Archbishop OAR
BOY, ten hostages and fifty priests
confined in Mazas prison have
been butchered in cold blood. The
latest advices are that southwes
wind is prevailing, carrying the
flames in a direction which threat
ems almost the total destruction OF
the city. No quarter is shown
prisoners taken, but they are shot
at once, or at least after a drum
head court martial and an extreme
ly short shrift.

left draft of $4,000, for the payment of pen

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Remarkable Disappearance OF a New York
Official.

The New York Post of last evening says
The removal of General William III. Lawrence
from the position of United States Pension
Agent in this city occasioned surprise and c0m-
ment. Among his intimate friends, however,
the cause of his displacement was well known
to be his unexplained absence from the city for
a long PERIOD which rendered necessary the
appointment of successor to perform the
duties of his Office.
On the 10Th of last month General Lawrence
left this city for Chicago. The day before his
departure he said to his family, and also to
several friends, that he intended to visit Chi
cago on some private business, and that he
should be absent week, or at the utmost
ten days. About a week subsequently his wife
received letter from him, dated at Chicago,
saying that his absence would be prolonged
week longer; that he was going upon some
business into the country, where he would be
beyond the reach of postal communication, aud
that she must not be alarmed if she did not i'm
mediately hear from him. Since the receipt of
this letter General Lawrence has been com
pletely lost to the knowledge of his friends. A
lelegraphic despatch sent TO Chicago brought
response that he left his hotel at about the date
OF his letter but that his subsequent movements
we're wholly unknown TO those acquainted with
him there
This disappearance can be accounted for by
his iIiends only upon the ground that ne has
