Our spectal correspordent in Paris sends us the following report of the scene within and without the city during the truce of Tuesday :— Paris, Tuesday Evening, } Via Boutoang, April 26, 1871. An armistice prevails to-day. PROVIDING FOR THE SUFFERERS. The Central Committee of the Commune has appointed five of its members to superintend the entry of the sufferers from Neuilly and to take steps for the accommodation of the desti- tute, All vacant apartments in Paris have been taken by requisition, and inventories are being made of the furniture contained in them, and seals placed upon all portable objects. SCENES AT THE GATES, At at early hour this morning Portes Bineau (?) and des Ternes (Porte de Neuilly) pre- sented extrordinary scenes. Carriages, am- bulances and all other kinds of vehicles, and crowds of men, women and children, rich and poor, assembled at the gates, clamorous for permission to leave the horrible city. Only persons possessing conveyances were allowed to leave. One of the vehicles took up @ decent woman who was going to seek her relatives at Neuilly. She seemed in great dis- tress. OUTSIDE THE GATES. Outside the gates the sight was pitiable. Many of the insarzent National Guards were drunk, Throughout Levallois and Neuilly thousands of poor persons engaged in the occupation of collecting remnants of furniture, while the ambulances drove about seeking the wounded. DESTRUCTION OF NEUILLY. The houses of Neuilly are torn open by shells, railings and lampposts are ripped up nd trees cut down. Many dead horses were seen at the barricades, where, in spite of the armistice, the insurgent Nationals are work- ing. The devastation is horrible. At the point of junction of the Avenue Rouie and Rue Orleans nothing with life was to be seen; and ft was evident that nothing with life could have existed in this locality under sucha storm of iron hail as was poured into it. REMOVING THE SIOK AND DYING, Many impromptu places of shelter were seen, made up of a strange mixture of ruins and magnificent furniture. The asylum for the aged was full of wounded. Everybody was hurrying, placing the sick and dying in vehicles and their goods in vans, before the work of slaughter recommenced. IN THE OHAMPS ELYSEES. In the Champs Elystes crowds of persons were assembled viewing the destruction and moving their furniture. The Ottoman Em- bassy was being dismantled. Many distin- guished persons were present, and by five o'clock at least fifty thousand people were on the ramparts waiting to see the first shot fired. THE WAR UPON RELIGION.

Last week the National Guards came and de- manded the plate and money, The next day the priests removed to the English convent, next door, On Friday last the Communists returned and went to the English convent, where they made a demand for the pricsts. The Concierge attempted to save them; but he was seized and bound and the priests were discovered and taken to the Mazas prison. The Nationals attempted to set the convent on fire to-day. REPAIRING PORTE MAILLOT. At Porte Maillot three hundred persons were engaged repairing the damage done by the shells. Every person going out was forced to carry a sack of sand, and those refusing Were arrested. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNE SNUBBED. Three members of the Commune, accom- panied by brilliant escorts, attempted to approach Versailles, but were driven back immediately. The Versailles troops were stern nd uncompromising. END OF THE ARMISTICE. At half-past four o'clock the people were hurrying home, and at ten minutes before five there was a general stampede towards the gates, At five o'clock the soldiers of the Army of Versailles who had been fraternizing qith the Communists were withdrawn behind I found a young man NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1871.—TRIPLE their barricades.

The Heratp's special correspondent at Panama sends the following later and fuller details of the recent important events trans- piring on the Pacific coast :— Panama, April 22, Via Kusaston, Jam., April 26, 1871. COLOMBIA, The rebellion in the departments of Chiriqui and Los Santos, in the State of Panama, turns out to be a more serious affair than at first re- ported. The movement is headed by General Thomas Herrera, Sefior Correoso, the Presi-. dent of the State, while making an official visit to those departments, was surprised at Negho, in Las Tablas, but managed to make his escape to the woods unhurt, and in this manner escaped the assas- sination which was atempted. He man- aged to reach Panama after a journey of twenty-three days, enduring many privations and being much of the time without food. The American steamer Montigo, owned by the Messrs. Schuber, of Panama, which was seized by the insurrectionists, is still held by them. They took from her thirty-eight hun- dred dollars of government money that was found on board. Panama is greatly excited over the event, and all the males over eighteen years of age have been called to arms to defend the city. General Mosquera has made a protest to the government of Ecuador against the letter of President Garcia Moreno, in which the latter threatened to shoot him should he land in Ecuador while en route from Peru to Panama, and the government of Colombia has de- manded an explanation thereof. Forty houses have been burned in the Villa Vilencia, The men who rébbed the mail near Baran- quilla have been arrested and a part of the money recovered, Seiior Corte has been elected President of the State of Caucu. The State of Santander has been invaded by a revolutionary force under Felix Pulgar. The Congress of Colombia has ratified the treaty of friendship with Peru. THE DARIEN SURVEYING EXPEDITION. The Darien surveying party from the Atlan- tic has crossed the summit and expected to unite with the party from the Pacific about the 11th of April, The party will then return to Chipigana, after two weeks of surveying, with successful results. The new route from La- non Bay via the Napipi river offers unusual facilities, it being only twenty-four miles from the Pacific to the Atrato, with summit near the Pacific, about six hundred feet almost per- pendicular. The Napipi recess (?), a mile from the coast, flows into the Atrato. Captain Selfridge crossed the Isthmus in thirty-six hours on an Indian trail, on a line behind the old road to the Atrato, The expected rains have begun, and the rivers are much swollen. CENTRAL AMERIOA, Peace in Salvador and in all Central America is assured, the rebel General Gon- zales and the Honduras invading army under Lopez having been completely routed at Santa Afia on the 7th of April, after six hours of hard fighting. The Salvadorians, under Chato and Marin Hatruch, have occupied Comay- agua, the capital of Honduras, without oppo- sition, and declared a provisional President. There was fighting on the 8th and 9th of April between two hundred and fifty Salvadorians and four hundred Hondurians. The Custom House at La Union was closed on the 9th of April, the Collector having fled to Corinto with his books and papers. The Peace Congress at Amapala has been dissolved because the Honduras troops at- tacked Pasaguna during the session. The revolutionists in the Department of Luesenate have been suppressed. PERU. Dates from Lima to the 14th of April have been received. The agriculturists of Peru have formed a steamship company for the purpose of import- ing coolies from China, with a capital of two millions of dollars, The first ship is to be ready within a year, The Presidential elections, which occur in October, are causing much excitement, Fran- cosco Balta and Manuel Pardo ore the promi- nent candidates. The prospect of a declaration of peace with Spain is improving business, Money is easier and sales are increasing. OnILE. The dates from Valparaiso are to April 8. ‘The severest earthauake in Chile since 1851 occurred on the 25th of March, at eleven o’clock in the morning. There were three heavy shocks, lasting over a minute, It wag a reli- gious holiday. The churches were filled, when the walls and roofs commenced swaying. The multitude, intensely terrified, rushed wildly into the streets. No lives are reported to have been lost. The movement was from east to west. Bells were rang by the force of the shock, and much property destroyed at Valparaiso and Santiago, Captain Barnes, of the British brig Propon- tis, from Bremen for Iquique, and three sea- men, were murdered on the 5th of March by the Indians of Terra del Fuego, in the Straits of Magellan, ninety miles from the colony of Punta Arena. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM CIINA, Imperial Manifesto Against Christian Edu- cation and Missionary Teaching. The Eternity of C:nfucius to be Maintained in Opposition to the Cross. Exhibit of the Vast Foreign Inte- rests Involved in the Struggle. ° TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. SHANGHAR, April 12, Via Lonpon, April 26, 1871. Despite the provisions of the treaties which have been concluded between the Chinese government and the foreign Christian Powers at various times the nativist feeling of the masses of the Chinese peo- ple stili presses the imperial authorities towards a reactionary course, Telegrams which have been received in Shanghae from Pekin report that the government of China has made a demand upon the foreign Am- bassadors serving in the empire which embraces points of the most decisively important, character, These demands may be stated thus: First—That schools for the education of females be abolished, Second—That the teaching to males, subjects of the empire, of ali doctrines opposed to those of Con- fuctas, be forbidden, Thivd—That missionaries shall be considered Ohinese subjects. Fourth—Tbat women shall not be permitted ac- cess to the empire in that capacity. The foreign Ambassadors are also notified that the attendance of women upon religious service made one of the occasions for the recent massacres of for- eignersa, and that “though those events cannot but be deplored by the imperial government, compen- sation for their commission 18 absolutely refusea.” THE GREAT CHRISTIAN INTERESTS WHICH ARE AS- SAILED. Ib isscarecly possibio that Christlanity can be por- mitted to recede from tho position which it has ar tained in that portioa of Asia which 1s subject to the rule of the Chinese ajter the continuous display of such & degree of missionary heroism as tt has ale already shown, and the endurance of 80 many de- grees of martyrdom by tts professors. Apzet from the religious view, tho value of the eartuly property wich tho Christian Churches have acquired within the territory of the Chinese empire will induce resistance in its defence, The temples and school houses and confraternity awellings, which are owned by the Jesuits and other propagandist branches of the Roman Cathoilc creed—and the se- curity of which has been guaranteed to them by the Chinese at different periods since afier the death of St. Francis Xavier—is very great, as is also the interest of that which has been acquired, after very great sacrifices, by the Protestaut Church missions of various nationalities, This latter fact was made @»parent at the begin- ning of the year 1870 by the publication in the Chinese Recorder (edited by the Rev. 8. L. Baldwin, of the American Board Mission at Foochow) of an account of the various Protestant missions in China, arranged in a tabular form, by which it was made knowa that the toval number of missionaries of that form of faith, English aud American, with a few German und Swisg, numbered 152 males and 129 females, divided over the various ports of China. ‘Tne aggregate number of Protestant chapels at these places was 296. The number of voys and girls who were daily taught was over 4,000, the number of Sunday communicants nearly 6,000, Among the missionaries were several who had studied medl- cine, and hospitals for the Chinese w by them at Pekin, Tien-tsin, Shanghae, Hankow, Ningpo, Amoy, Canton, Hangchow, Taiwan, ¢ ‘Tue Protestant missions were divided as follows:— Engush, Amerwan, German, 30 re conducted Pekin..

The Lerdo and Diaz parties hope to accomplish the Juarez impeachment, depriving him of the com- mand of the army and making Lerdo President, Virtue being Chief Justice. Then there will bea fair fight between the two. Arms and ammunition are being purchased and preparations made, General uneasiness 1s felt throughout the frontier of Tamaulipas and Nueva Leon, for Diaz Trevino, the Governor of Leon, 1s bitter against Juarez, and ready to fight, Both States are bankrupt, it being impossible to collect the taxes, as the people refuse to pay.
