I have received the following despatch from jthe New York Heratp correspondent in Paris, dated at ten o’clock last night. Your georrespondent telegraphs:— PARIS IN REVOLUTION. Paris is once more in revolution. For days fpast it has been evident that trouble was brew- fing between the government and the Montmar e insurgents, and yesterday the crisis came. have already been informed of the suc- jcess of the National Guards. At first the gov- jernment was successful, as no opposition was joffered to the troops; but when the National \Guard appeared on the scene everything went gainst the authorities. ‘THE FRATERNIZATION. The most deplorable lack of fidelity was pmanifested by the troops. At the appeal of the mob the regulars threw down their arms and fraternized with the insurgents, Eighty-eighth and 126th regiments of the line iwere the first to abandon their officers and , foln the revolters. THE ASSASSINATIONS. Generals Clement-Thomas and Le Comte were captured. They were hurried before a jpelf-constituted tribunal, tried for, and found guilty of, treason against the republic, and bentenced tobe shot. Immediately after they ‘were led away and executed. General ‘Chanzy, who had taken no part against the insurgents, was made prisoner on arriving in Paris, was tried by court martial and is now sunder sentence of death. ‘PILLAGE THREATENED—BAERICADES GOING UP. , At the present hour mob law is triumphant Hn Paris, and the city is threatened with illage. The insurgents are throwing up ‘barricades in every direction, and all law abiding citizens are trembling with fear of ‘what the morrow will bring forth. VERSAILLES THREATENED. ‘ , [tis stated at this writing (ten o'clock Sun- day night) and generally believed, that a large force of the insurgents has left Paris and is onthe march for Versailles. The object is ‘to overawe the French National Assembly which holds its first sitting in Versailles to- morrow. General Duval (?) is the leader of ‘the insurgents, FLED TO VERSAILLES. The government of M. Thiers has fled from Paris and gone to Versailles. The capital has been completely evacuated by the authori- ties and is in full possession of the insurgent National Guards, Yroclamations by the argents—Denuncin= tions of the Government—The Communal Elections Ordered—Counterblast From the Regular Authorities—The Red Marders—Tho Insur- Flag—Le- cante’s and Thoma gents in Possession of rested—Barricades. Lonpox, March 20, 1871. Paris--Chanzy Are Tam enabled to report the following for the {nformation of the New Yoric Hrravp :— INSURGENT PROCLAMATION ~THE RLECTIONS ORDERED. COMMUNAL, The Nationals have placarded two proclama- tions. The first one issued says the French people awaited calmly until aa attempt was The | made to touch the life of the republic. The army did not raise its hands against the arch of the liberties of the republic—the only gov- | ernment that can close the era of invasions | and civil war. The people of Paris are con- | voked for communalelections. The proclama- ; tion is signed by the Central Commitiee of the National Guards and dated at the Hotel de Ville. ANOTHER PROOLAMATION—THE MISSION FULFILLED, The second proclamation is as follows :— To rig Pxopie oF Paris :— You have entrusted us with the defence of the rights of Paris. We have driven out the government which betrayed us. Our mis- sion is fulfilled, and we now report to you, Prepare for tho communal elections. Give INSURGENTS’ us as our only recompense the establishment of a real republic. The same signatures, thirty in number, are appended. OOUNTERBLAST AND WARNING FROM THE GOV- ERNMENT, The official journal contains the follow- ing :—‘‘A proclamation from a committee assuming the name of the Central Committee, has been distributed throughout Paris. The men of the barricades have taken possession of the Ministry of Justice and assassinated Generals Clement-Thomas and Lecomte. Who are the members of the committee is unknown, as is also what they deliver Paris from. The crimes committed by them remove all excuse fer support by their followers. Let all who have regard for the honer and interest of France separate from them and rally around the republic and the assembly.” Signed by the Ministers at present in Paris. THE RED FLAG, The Hotel de Ville is surmounted by the red flag and barricaded, but circulation is unim- peded. Shots have been heard, but no con- flict is report ed. THE MURDERS OF LECOMTE AND THOMAS. The London Zimes' special despatch from Paris says respectable Parisians are stupefied, General Lecomte was abandoned by his troops and arrested on the heights of Mont- General Thomas was arrested in plain clothes. The latter's last word was “Cowards!” He fell at the third discharge. M. Thiers is firm, but full of grief. General Vinoy’s indignation is boundless. THE FIGHT OF SATURDAY. The London Telegraph's special says :— “On Saturday the gendarmes fired upon the Nationals. The latter returned the fire, and several of the gendarmes were wounded. General Vinoy has been mobbed.” ANARCHY. martre. The mob is triumphant and virtually possess the city. Drunkennesss is raiapant. armed. Only wine shops are open. Kven women are OHANZY ARRESTED, General Chanzy, upon his arrival in Paris, was arrested at the station by the Montmar- trists, and it is said will be shot to-day. All persous of prominence are flying from Paris. MEASURES OF THE GOVERNMENT. A despatch from Versailles says the official journal announces that the whole government, all the authorities of Paris and 40,000 good troops, under General Vinoy, are there. The departmental authorities have been instructed that they must obey only orders from Ver- sailles, otherwise they wil! forfeit their posi- | tions. THE ASS ASSINS MUS BE CHASTISED. The official journal of Paris gives a narra- tive of events, martre was carried on Saturday, and the guns were about to be removed when the Nationals snatched the arms from the soldiers and the latter were surrounded and repulsed. The corpses of the generals were mutilated. Paris, says the journal, is indulgent, but it must rise and chastise the assassins, other- wise the whole people will be their accom- plices. THE HEAD OF THE MURDERERS. A despatch from Paris, dated at ten o'clock Sunday evening, reports that it is said that M. Assy, of the International Society, was presi- dent of the eourt which condemned Generals Lecomte and Thomas to death. THE ARMED FOROE IN PARIS. The National Guards are now the only armed force in Paris. Most of the Nationals marching through the streets belong to the faubourgs. It says the position at Mont- THE BARRICADES, There are barricades in the Rue des Martyr, the Avenue Trudane, tbe Chaussee de Clignan- court, the Faubourg St. Denis, the Rue Roche- ehouart and the vicinity of the Hotel de Ville, and the Faubourg St. Aatoine.

This is in keeping with the declaration of Count Bis- marck, made some weeks ago, that it was not the intention of Germany to interfere in the slightest degree with the domestic affairs of France.

BORDEAUX, Feb. 26, 1871, 1 had a long conversation yesterday with the lead- ing republican editor here, of the advanced class, and he told me that the republic must endure, if it endured by blood; that Jules Favre and his consreres were utterly lost, and that the Mobile character (excesstvement) of the French nation would superin- duce such @ reaction against peace measures as would astound the world. He was NOT AT ALL FRIENDLY EITHER TO THE UNITED STATES, OR TO GENERAL GRANT, as its President, but denounced both in strong terms, General Grant’s [rendly message in recognl- ton of the German empire is denounced as unpa- ralelled and inexcusable by the ex:sreme socialists, who understand nothing that does not extend to fru- tervity-—even to their neighbor's linen. THE CONSTITUTION OF THR FRENCH REPUBLIC 48 published here contains these pointa:— First—The république Frangaise centinues politi- cal, economical wnd social from the revolution of 1789, and which was unhappily interrupted by tue war of the fereign invasion and since by the menarch‘cal restoration.
