Lonpon, April-19, 1871. I am enabled to report to the New Yor Herarp ‘the following additional particulars from Paris, dated Tuesday evening, of the defeat sustained by the insurgent forecs at Asnieres on the day previous:— INSURGENT PREPARATIONS.

The Commune generals believed their position safe from attack, Beyond the bridge, over the Seine, a strong barricade had been erected fifteen yards from the railway station, and was armed with two mitrailleuses, Another earth- A COMMUNIST PEACE PROGRAMME, york was thrown up last night to cover an attack from the Charlesbourg road.

IN IGNORANOE. The Asnieres road was barsicaded by the insurgents, who, being without cavalry, were unable to reconnoitre and ascertain the move- ments of the enemy. They were unaware that the Versailles troops had armed Gennevilliers with a redoubt and placed heavy naval guns in position at Colombes.

The rebels are fiting into the town of Puteaux, doing much damage. THE EXODUS FROM PARIS. The road to St, Denis is choked with people leaving Paris, Nothing is attempted in the way of preventing their departure, the Com- munal authorities rather favoring the exiles, in view of the possibility of an investment of the city, GREAT EXCITEMENT IN PARIS. ‘Victories at Issy and Clamart Claimed by the Rebels ‘An Attack by the Army of Ver- sailles Bxpected. TELECRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, Lonpoy, April 19, 1871, Thave received the following despatch from the New York’ Heratp’s special correspond- ent in Parla, dated last night (Tuesday). ‘Your correspondent says:— COWARDLY INSURGENTS, In the affair at Asnitres on yesterday the 228th battalion of National Guards broke ranks and retreated to the gates of Paris, cry- ing, “‘All is lost!” The people charged the ‘Nationals with cowardice, blows ensued, and theré-was soon a hot fight between the civil end military adherents of the Commune. A HORRIBLE SPEOTAOLE. At the present writing Levallois (Ruo de Valois?) presents a horrible spectacle, The Nationals, who have retreated into Paris, are carousing, while tliclr wounded and dying are Tying in the streets groaning. It is curious shat the government forces did not follow up ithe attack. Had they done so they must have succeeded in delivering a staggering blow to ‘the {nsurgents, GALLANT GENDAEMES, Abody of gendarmes, intrenched at Nauilly, {have maintained their positions in spite of the (withering: fire to which they have been sub- Yeotoa during the past eight days. They still * held out on yeaterday, repulsing all efforts to dislodge them, PARIS EXCITED. The news of the reverse met with by the Ansurgents at Asnitres caused great excite - \ment in Paris. An Englishman while in a yrestaurant near the Hotel des Invalides was grossly insulted by a party of excited French- \men for not bearing arms in ‘defence of the Commune. AN ATTACK EXPECTED. A shell fell in the Faubourg St. Honoré von yesterday. To-night shells are falling in (Rue des Ternes, and an attack towards As- {nltres, by the army of Versailles, is expected, ‘The insurgent National Guards are now man- wing the ramparts, , DIGGING TRENCHES. The Communist forces are hard at work digging trenches in front of Fort Vanvres and ‘the Versailles troops are doing the same thing ‘opposite the fort, BLOODY OONFLICT AT NEUILLY. A bloody conflict has been raging at Neuilly wince six o’clockthis morning. Colonel Lea- isigne, the Commandant of the Two Hundred and Sixty-first battalion of insurgents, was killed #arly in the action, The commandant of the artillery has been denounced and arrested as a traitor to the Commune. At the moment of ending this despatch the Nationals are getreating in large numbers from Neuilly to Parla, WOMEN AND CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH. Many-housesin Neuilly have been burned sand the inhabitants of them, who had hidden iin the cellars to escape the bullets and shells, being unable to extricate themselves from the Wurning buildings, perished in the flames, It fis Impossible to get at the bodies while the fAghting continues, AN INOIDENT. Dodging under s shower of bullets in the ‘Boulevard Inkermann, at Nouilly, your cor- jrespondent stopped for an instant in a door- rays and was surprised by hearing some one sobbing ina cellar. I looked in and saw a ‘woman and two children in the place, afraid to stir on account of the bullets and shells, ‘The poor creatures had been there since yes- AN ADVANTAGE GAINED, The advantage gained by the insurgent forces in the capture of Chiteau Becon has proved to be greater than was at first expecied. The Weods of Colombes Oarricd—Insurgent Defent at Asnieres—The Town Occupied— Bad Weather—Uneatisfactory Spirit of the Troops. Lonvon, April 19, 1871. Despatches from Versailles, dated to-day, contain the following Intelligence, which I forward for the information of the New York HERALD :—= THE WOODS OF COLOMBES OARRIED. The Versailles troops have carried the woods of Colombes. <A large number of the insurgents wero killed, wounded and made prisoners in the encounter. Asnicres is now threatened on both sides by the government forces. A SURPRISE. When the first shells fell yesterday from Courbevoie upon the Chateau Becon the Nationals took little notice of it, being shel- tered against the fire from that direction. Suddenly 9 tremendous fire opened on the front and right flank from Colombes and Gen- nevilliers, and the Nationals gave way and fled to the trenches. THE ATTAOK, At the same moment two attacking columns took the insurgents in the front and flank, and a mitrailleuse, guarding the barricade, kept up 8 heavy cross fire, In less than an hour the whole of the insurgents were driven across the Seine. FINAL DEFEAT OF THE INSURGENTS. Dombrowski demanded reinforcements, and the insurgents renewed the attack, but were repulsed with great loss, An eye witness says Dombrowski personally lod the d esperate assault, By four o’slock all was over. THE FIGHTING AT NEUILLY. At Neuilly the insurgents were forced to re- treat into Porte Maillot. Many were drowned, the bridge of boate being broken. THE PENINSULA OF GENNEVILLIERS OLEAR, The Versailles troops gradually won all the Gennevilliers peninsula and attempted to push forward over the bridge. At Asnieres the Guards were routed and two batteries taken. The insurgents were driven entirely to their own side of the Seine, THE FIGHTING AT ASNIERES, Details of the fighting on Monday at Asnieres show that the Versailles forces com- pelled the Communists to evacuate the town, but did not themselves occupy it. The Com- munists in the afternoon reoccupled the place, where they were again attacked in the even- ing by the Versailles troops. During the night there was an incessant fusilade and, the government forces maintained their position with difficulty. THE TOWN OOOUPIED. A despatch from Versailles, dated to-day, says the government troops occupied Asnieres yesterday, driving the enemy across the Seine and capturing some prisoners. The loss of the Versailles troops was small, A battery has been placed in position, which prevents the insurgents from using the bridge which crosses the river from Qlichy to Asnieres. The insurgent troops were quiet and their batteries*silent during last night. BAD WEATHER, A despatch from Asnieres, via Versailles, says the weather is rainy and operations to- day are next to impossible; but adds that the insurrection is falling to pieces, ‘UNSATISFACTORY. A-special despatch to the Standard says the spirit evinced by the Versailles troops is unsatisfactory, and that even discipline is wanting. RUMORED OHANGES IN THE MINISTRY. There are rumors of changes in the French Ministry. GENERAL REPORTS. Futile Attempt at Insurrec- tion in Boulogne.

THE PEACR CONFERENCE. Another despatch from Brussels reports that the Peace Conference is still engaged in the discussion of the question of the frontier of France and Germany, Progress in the settlement of tho fivancial question is also very alow, A NEW COMMANDER, General Okolowltz succeeds General Dom- browski’s brother, who was disabled at As. nieres, THE COAL MINERS’ TROUBLE, Meeting of tho Board of Arbitra- tion at Mauch Chunk, Report of the Umpire—It is Doemed Satisfactory and is Accepted—Tho Question of Wages Still Unsettled—Refusal of the Operators to Yield—They Insist on Their Terms— Appeal of the Miners to Trades Unions—Letter from Mr. Siney to the Herald—Arraignment of the Operators, Mavow Onunk, Pa., April 19, 1871, ‘The board of arbitration met at nine o'clock this merning to hear the decision of Judge Eiwell on the question of control of the mines, The meeting hav- ing been called to order the Judge said:— GANCLEMEN—I Rave not deemed it necessary to make an elaberate report on this question, but have endeavored to meet specifically the points that have been raised by both parties, Itis, as you are aware, solely on control of the mines.

Gravity of the Situation~Fears of a General Outbreak—The Great Struggle Between Capital and Labor—Monopolists Attempt> ing to Starve Minors into Submission. Scranton, Pa., April 19, 1871. Although we stand upon the threshold of important events the last twenty-four hours have furnished no new developments in the coal trade, ‘The recent inter- views between miners and companies cannot be con- sidered barren of results, for they have shown to the world how little ia to be expected in the way of concession or conciliation from eltner party. The country must be satis- fied by this time that the struggle ts simply one of endurance, in which the coal monopolists are atriving to crowd down the miners, and the miners are exerting themselves in opposition to unparallcied trade oppression. The spirit manifested on both sides gives no assurance that there Is to be a peace ful termination to the struggle. The miners hav Met the ultimatum of the companies with one equally unreasonable and unentertainable, and so they stand, like two hostile armies waiting the sig- naltor the onset, Matters are much worse than they were before a show was made to settle hem, and it may as well be understood abroad that tnere fs to be serious trouble here, and not a great way of. lt may also be in- teresting to know that a question ‘of wi wages does not keep the employers aud employés apart in this sec- tion, The story can be enclosed tn a nutshell. ‘The companies are actuated by avarice and un- compromising hatred of the Miners’ Union, and are making an Insane effort to ruleor ruin. The cru- sade was begun two years ago and only ended In the great reduction of wages last Novemoer. ‘They forced miners to strike, and are now bent on starv- ing the men into subi ion if possible.

How the danger will shape itself cannot be determined as yeh a8 there is no hope of adjustment of alrioaities at present.
