Lonpon, April 14, 1871. The New York Heratp's special corre- spondent in Paris telegraphs me, under date of Thursday night, the following intelligence :— ASSI AND BERGERET'S TRIAL. M. Assi and General Bergeret have been tried, and the result of their trial has been that Assi has been liberated. Bergeret, how- ever, has been retained for further examina- tion. OANNONADING ALL DAY. There has been firing all day from the forts and batteries around Paris. Fort Mont Va- lerien has kept up an incessant bombardment from its heavy naval guns. THE VERSAILLES TROOPS CONCENTRATING, The forces of the Versailles government are concentrating at Choisy, Creteil, Nanterre and ‘St. Germain, up to the neutral line separating the French from the Prussian troops. WITNESSING THE ARTILLERY DUEL. To-day the bridges were crowded to excess, ithe object being to witness the artillery duel between the Versailles army batteries and the batteries of the insurgents. In the ‘Trocadero, where the heavy guns of the Insurgents are mounted, the windows of houses were broken by the concussion, and on the Rue Presburg a number were also destroyed. DAMAGES BY SHELLS. Two houses on the Rue Presburg were truck by twelve shells and greatly damaged. Shells are falling continually in the city and At ig estimated that two millions francs’ worth ‘of house property has already been destroyed. FIGHTING CONTINUED. Fighting still continues all along the lines, tit has not yet assumed very formidable proportions, However, the great attack is ‘expected to-night, and the insargents are busy making preparations to meet it. THE ENGAGEMENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The view of the fight of last night was mag- nificent from Fort Vanvres, The heavens ‘wore one blaze of fire. The rifle firing was the heaviest I ever heard, and the peculiar ‘granting sound of the mitrailleuses was in- ceasant, The Versailles troops were badly repulsed, suffering heavily in killed and ‘wounded. As might be imagined the insur- ts are highly elated, and are exceedingly prond of their successful defence of their po- ‘altions. A DRAWBRIDGE DAMAGED. The drawbridge of Porte Maillot-has been Wevercly damaged by the bombardment from Fort Mont Valericn. to Berrow Mcnoy—Preparing for Emergeoncies—A Solemn Mass. Loxpoy, April 14, 1871. I havo received the following despatch from the New York Heratp special cor- ‘respondent in Versailles, dated last night, containing news from Paris, The despatch says:— TRYING TO BORROW MONEY. The Communal government ia trying to ob- tain a Joan of money from capitalists in the city; but it is questionable if it will succeed. THE PRUSSIANSP REPARING, The Prussian guns mounted at St. Denis ‘and directed towards Paris are intended for ‘use against the Belleville and Montmartre quarters, should occasion arise for German interference in the civil war. A SOLEMN MASS. To-day @ solemn mass was sung in the cathe- ral for the revose of the souls of General Trying Lecomte and General Thomas. The assem- blage was vast, the cathedral being crowded, and many of the most influential men in Paris were present, "efieneen A Battle Progressing—Object of tle Fight- ing—The Government Forces Revulsed— Prisoners Takeu—American Mitrailleuses— Battalions Disarmed—The Red Flag—Report of the Peace Delegation—U: tion Im- possible. Lonpow, April 14, 1871, I have received the following intelligence from Paris, dated yesterday (Thursday) even- ing, and forward the same for publication in the New Yorx Hzratp:— AN ENGAGEMENT PROGRESSING. Asnieres ‘still holds out against the Ver- sailles forces, whose every attack is re- pulsed. Engazements are in progress at Neuilly. Shells from Fort Mont Valerien are fall- ing in the Champs Elyaées. Cannonading is heard south of the city. OBJEOT OF THE FIGHTING. A later despatch says that the object of the Versailles commander to-day was apparently to reach Asnitres, and thereby relieve a detach- ment of their troops surrounded by the Com- munist forces on the island of ‘Grande Jatte.” The Versailles batteries cannonaded the vil- lages of Levallois, Champeret and Neuilly. TOE GOVERNMENT FORCES REPULSED. There was infantry fighting at all the ap- proaches to the villages. The Communists gave way at eleven o’clock and General Dom- browski asked for reinforcements. They were sent forward, and it is announced by to-night’s Communist journal that the Versailles forces were finally repulsed, THE OANNONADING OEASED. A still later despatch, dated late in the evening, says that the artillery firing south and west of Paris ceased at night, PRISONERS TAKEN. The Affranchi (newspaper), of Paris, an- nounces that the insurgents have made 2,000 prisoners at Villiers, AMEBIOAN MITRALLEUSES, Forts Issy and Vanvres have been supplied with American mitrailleuses. The Paris and Lyons Railway has been cut. BATTALIONS DISARMED. Several batialions of the National Guard were disarmed, for hostility to the Commune, and their places were immediately filled, THE RED FLAG. It has been ordered by the Commune that the red fing shall be carried by the Nationals and hoisted over all places occupied by them. All other colors are suppressed. REPORT OF THE PEAOE DELEGATION. The delegates from the party of conciliation have returned from Versailles, and report that M. Thiers refused to discuss the question of a treaty, but was ready to guarantee the con- tinuance of the republic and to accord the municipal franchise to Paris upon a plan to be elaborated by the Assembly. He was also willing to allow the organization of the Na- tional Guard of Paris, which should take the place of and exclude the army from the city, but positively refused to recognize the bel- ligerency of the Commune or to enter into negotiations for a treaty of peace or even an armistice. CONCILIATION IMPOSSIBLE. The London Daily News has a special de- spatch from Paris stating that M. Grousset, the Communist delegate Minister of Foreign Affairs, declares that conciliation is impossible. AN AMERIOAN OFFER. A quantity of guns have been seized in the shop of an American dealer. Two American contractors have offered to buy the column of Vend6me and to cast it into cannon, M. JECKER ARRESTEE. M. Jecker, the noted Franco-Mexican banker, has been arrested.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, April 14, 1871. I have received the following despatch from the New York Heratp special corespondent in Versailles, dated Thursday afternoon. Your correspondent says: — COMMUNIST TRAITORS, An offer has been made by two commanders of the insurgent National Guards to sell two of the gates of the city to the Army of Ver- sailles for the sum of 850,000f. (about $70,000) each. A similar offer to betray tho Commune has been made by some of the leading officers in command of the garrisons of forts Issy and Vanvres, the sum demanded being 1,000,000f. ($200,000) each. In re- sponse to these treacherous offers M. Thiers positively declined accepting them. RECEPTION OF THE PARIS DELEGATES. The delegates from Paris, appointed by the party of conciliation within the city to visit Versailles on a mission of peace, arrived here yesterday. After hearing what they had to say M. Thiers refused to enter into any treaties with armed rebels. . INSURGENT SUOOESSES DENIED. The stories which have been current of the defeat of the government forces by the insur- gents at Asnieres and Clamart are utterly untrue. The troops only retreated for the purpose of drawing on the rebels, who showed disposition to advance. LOSSES OF THE COMMUNISTS. An American gentleman, just out of Paris, informs your correspondent that since the opening of active hostilities between the gov- ernment and the insurgents the latter have already lost 9,000 men in killed, wounded and missing MURDER AND PUNISHMENT. Insurgent prisoners taken by the Army of Versailles were recently sent to Brest, and, while they were en route, they murdered one of the soldiers in charge of the train, Next day a military court martial condemned eight of their number to death, and the convicts were immediately taken out and shot. DISOONTENT. The military authorities and the members of the Assembly are greatly discontented because M. Thiers persists in his refusal to give authority for an attempt at a coup de main, NO TROOPS IN VERSAILLES, No troops are in Versailles now. The en- tire military forces of the government are in position aroand Paris.

At Clamart the insurgents continae to fire on our works, but thelr guns are harmless. REPORTS FROM PARIS. The Maillot gate is an utter wreck. A bat- talion of Nationals from the Quartier St. Georges has refused to go to the ramparts, and forcibly resisted an attempt to compel them to do so, AN EXPLANATION, The London Times special despatch from Versailles says the arrival of General Fabrice, the German Administrator at St. Denis, is con- sequent upon the receipt of a notification from the Versailles government of its intention to make a supreme effort for the capture of Paris. THE BRETON TROOPS. General Cathelincans, commanding the Breton Legion, has established his head- quarters at Rambouillet. SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR PARIS.

E have received the following intelligence, dated ‘Before Paris, April 14, evening,” and forward the same for publication to the New Yor« Herald :— MORE FIGHTING AT NEUILLY AND ASINIRRES. There was fighting last night and this morn- ing at Neuilly and Asnidres, but it did not result in appreciably modifying the relative positions of the bellizerents. The Versailles forces atill occupy the vicinity of the bridge of Neuilly, and a detachment, which the insur- gents are endeavoring to force to recross the Seine, remain on the island of Grande Jatte and await reinforcements, BUILDINGS DAMAGED IN PARI3. The buildings in the neighborhood of the ramparts are badly damaged, and nearly all the inhabitants have moved away. WAITING FOR THE GRAND ATTACK, The situation on the south side of the city is unaltered. All are waiting for the grand at- tack. MACMAHON AT RRUIL. Marshal MacMahon is reported to be a Reuil. OLUSERET'S REPORT.

He declares that the conduct of the National Guards under fire was admirable, PLUNDERING OFFIOES AND OHUROHES. The Communists are plunderiag the public offices of their papers and plate.

The prices of provisions are rising. DOMINION OF CANADA. Prerogation of Parliament—Address by the Governor General—Favorable Condition of the Revenue=Thriving Condition of the Several Provinces, OrTawa, April 13, 1871, The Governor General to-day prorogued the Fourth session of the First Parliament of the Dominion of Caifada with the usual formalities. He wanked the members for their diligence in the dis- charge of their duties, and said that, although the session was brief, the work done was important. He also said that he thought future sessions would not make such inconvenient demand as heretorore on the time of members, In relation to Manitoba the Governor General cited, as sig- nally marking the completion of the union of that province, the extension of the criminal, military and other statutes therein; the acts for the survey and granting of lands which were modelled on @ system tested by experience, and which offer a free home to all, without distinction, who desire to settle in the country. During tne recess the Governor General will take steps to negotiate with the Indian tribes in Manitoba and the Northwest Territory, in order to arrange their titles to lands, ‘The session just closed has witnessed the {nitial measures for the admission of British Columbia into the Dominion. 1 will transmit the addresses passed by the Senate and House for submission to her Majesty, 1 trust that next session will view as @n accomplighed fact the union of all her Majesty’s continental possessions North America, and cherish the hope that the result of the census will show a rapid advance in population and prosperity. ‘The fishery question 1s now under consideration by the High Commission, and I am contident every effort is being made to se- cure a resuit such as will meet ihe reasonable ex- pectations of the Canadians and tend to the preser- vation of lasting amity and good feeling between Great Britain and the United States. ‘The Governor concludes by thanking the Com- mons for the readiness with which supplies have been voted, anu congratulates the members on the favorable state of the revenue and the thriving con- dition of the diferent branches of the national in- dustry; acknowledges the loyalty of the people ana the spirit of order and respect for law which pre- vuils in every part of the Dominion, and prays that these blessings may be of long continuance and that He from whom all good proceeds may vouchsafe to look with favor on this Dominion, in AMUSEMENTS. Granp Opera Houss—" LA LE Have! It ig a long time since the first notes of this spar- kltug opera of OTenbach’s (in our estimation the best he ever wrote) charmed the ears of the metropolitan public. Coming immediately after “La Grande Duchesse,”” and rendered by Bateman’s matchless company at the Franyais, tt took the town by storm. No better evidence that the days of opdra bouge are gone by could be afforded than the chiiling reception acvorded to this opera last night. Aimée portrayed the naughty Grecian queen with more irresistible abandon and winning co- quetry than even Tostee, and certainly she has a superior voice, Persint proved a far better Orestes than De Felcourt, and Valter's Calchas was inex. ibly funny. The other characters—Meneiaus, , Achilles and Parla—were rendered quite in- effective by the parties to whom they were en- wusted, and poor Duchesne has deteriorated tn voice and action so much that we ceuld hard recognize his Agamemnon. Stil there was yoy! of tie old sparkle about the opera to rouse the oi enthusiasm; but the people looked on tn silence and, What mignt be construed, indifference. Ouly once did Aimce force an encore from the statues in front, and that was by her inimitable version i the conjugal lesson, “Un Mari je." fven the brilliant waltz that closes the second act = Was —srrecetved = in __ silence.

Launch of Captain George A. Yacht. ‘rhursday afternoon this elegant little yacht was launched trom the yard of her builder, Patrick hhoGeihan, at Pamrapo, N. J. The occasion was one particularly enjoyable, as the several hundred present were the intimate friends of either the owuer or builder, and thus (he assemolage partook of the naturo of a FAMILY GATHERING rather than that of a promiscuous crowd.

MANUEL FREYRE, in representation of Bolivia, This convention 1s leoked upon, in diplomatic circles here, as showing the existence of the greatest good will among all the parties. While Spain is stronger than the South American republies, she thus consents to give time to arm themselves before renewing hostilities. This is construed as meaning that she does not intend to commit so great # blun- der as she did when she declared war against those republics upon so slight a pretext five years ago. Besides, the provision that the notification of the renewal of hostilities shall be given through the government of the United Statea is regarded as @ guaranteo that neither of the beliigerents shall ever again engage In war with cach other, tf not for other reasons, at least out of respect to the United States government, which hag assumed the attitude of mediator between them. The conduct of Spain in this matter ts considered as an evidence that under her new and IIberal government she dis- Approves the unwise policy of the government of Elizabeth the second and is no longer m- clined to play the part of a bully among the littie nations. It is belleved that im the conferences deaig- nated for the negotiations of peace that are about to fulow this: first agreement Spain vill continue equally generous towara those voung members of her own family. Itis said that tho vom bardment of Valparaiso, a free port, without &ny dotenge, and a neutral emporiam more than anything else, is an obstacle in the way of a final setue- ment. The question 1s asked, why should not Spain unanimously subscrive to the principle that free ports shall be exempt from bombardment, im the interest of humanity and in the spirit of pro- gressive civilization.
