Panis, April 30, 1871. This evening X directed my way up the avenue Neuilly, and terning off to Ure Boulevard Inkerman commenced the search for General Dombrowski’s headquarters, He had invited me to dinner, but had aiso given me warning that I might have some aiMiculty in finding him, as he changed his-qaarters nearly every day, owing to the fact that the batte- Ties at Courbevoie shelled him without mercy upon discovering his whereavouis, Wheu I saw him a Jew days ago he was occupying a large fine house entirely hidden by trees, ia the middle of the gar- den between the rue Perriaet and the Boulevard Argensen, which exiends to the rue de Chezy. When the Versailles artilierymen discovered him two hours xuficed to render the house untenaple for any animal larger than a rat. Alter considerable earch and 4nquiry, a‘ter tradging about througn the ‘mud and darkness and rain, which had cammenced falling in gusty torients, after passing numcrous Mines of sentries, and garden wails, through which breaches had been made, and passing under tie <inipping branches of trees that tn some places are as pleniiful as in the Western forest, I arrived at a Jarge four story building surrounded by a garden, which, like most of the gardens in Neullly, was en- closed by a thick, unsightly wall. This house, as I afterwards remarked, is in the Rue Perrinet, and much nearer to the front tian I should consider Becezsury or even prudent, DOMBROWSKI’S HEADQUARTERS. In through a long, broad corridor full of soldiers, some on guard, some in angry discussions, some asleep on the floor, | was shown to the room inhabitea by tbe man who for the inoment has more autiarity 4m Paris thau any other person in France—General Dombrowski. Asmall room on the ground floor, looking neither on the street nor on the garden, on the side farthest removed from the explodiug sheiis—the safest part - of the house, tn fact, except the cellar—a shell mast traverse three stories and several thick stone walla vefore reaching this sanctum sanciorum of the General commanding the forces of Paris. The floor ‘was covered with a fine Brussels carpet; there was @ grand piano turned upon its side against the ‘wail—they had music enough without It—a sofa, a half dozen chaits, a writing de-k in one corner and a few One engravings on the walls, giving evidence of the saste of the for:;ner owners, completed the furniture of the room. The General had not yet returned 4rom his rounds and IJ sat down on the sofa to await | his arrival, A large, shaded lamp placed on the desk threw a softened light over the room, and the patter of the ruin on a skylight in the hall outside had almost lulled me to sleep when THE GENERAL ENTERED, ‘with several oMicers of nis sta], splashed with mud and soaked through with the rain, in which they had been riding for au hour. He shook hands with me cordially, and thinking probabiy, 1 do not know why, that I had come as much to eat as to see, told me we would sit down to dinner presently, and counmenced giving answers to persons, some of Whom had been in walting several hours, Most of them wished positive information with regard to the compicte evacuation of Neuilly by the inhabitants, which had just been ordered by Dombrowsh!, Some wished to stay and live in their cellars, preferring to take the risk of a shell reaching them to ranning off and buating lodgings tn Paris or elsewhere, ‘This Was positively refused by wie General, who told them invariabiy that he could not perinit it, ror Bwo reasona:—First, that it would be very danger- ous 10 Bigy; that they Would probably be Killed aud buried in the ce! iu which they hal taken refuge, as he intended to contest the ground inch vy inch, and if compelled to retreat to ERY HOUSB ve uo cover for the ene- of the inhabitants were playing giving Information ‘Wo the enemy of every movement, so that often they Anew ol his intentions and piaus upon the slightest indication of their being put tuto execation, show- tng that they were reguiariy and systematically In- formed of everrritag done and every movement made in the cainp of the Nauional Guards.

Justus we were golug into the next room to dinner A GRAND MASTER OF THE FREEMASONS WAS INTRO- DUCED, He wore the insignia of his rank, and bowed very low to General Dombrowski, who also vowed very low, taking off his kep/, aud expressing Une extreme pieasure be felt in receiving so distin guished a memoer of the great fraternity wnicu was at that moment trying to allay the clamor of civil dis- cord.and put an end to tue present unhappy strife of brother against brother. Tuere was some very ceremonivus bowing, and then the Grand Master stated his bustness, which was to inform General Dombrowskt that in case their mediation failed the whole Masonic organization would take up arms against the government of Versailles. He ‘Seid he was commandant of the 209th battation, and that he was at that woment formmg a new bat- taiion entirely composed of Freemasons, who wero ready to fight for the Commune. General Dom- browski told him he was very glad to bear it, aud that if they should come to Neuilly he would give them plenty of work to do. “Have no feer,’? said the Grand Master; ‘we will fight’? He was @ iittie dried up old man, and cer- tainly did not look much like storming’ a barri- eoqae or lying all night in a muddy ditcn to ibe shot at. And so seemed to think Yop th alan and. oficers, for they laughea when he had gone, i got, off some jokes at his expense, which if the Oi jd maunad heard might have caused him to offer Wusswore to M.

Engaging him in conversation he informed me that he had been condemned to death for taking part in THE LAST POLISH REBELLION, but that the sentence had been commuted to hard labor for life in the mines of Siberia, where he passed two years. Escaping by meaus of money which he had concealed in his clothing, he has since spent his time in fomenting rebellion at home and abroad until the overthrow of the emptre, wnen he came and offered his sword to France, His services were accepted, and he served on General Bordone’s stall throughout tue war.

REPORTS FROM TIE FRONT, Tt was now growing late. Reports came in that in spite of tie armistice the Versailles troops were at work strengthening their positions and throwing up intrenchments. “i suspected as much,” said the General, “Dut it cannot be helped. We wilido the same.’ And he gave orders for the men to go wo Work upon several barricades, WITH THE GENEKAL ON HIS ROUNDS. About mtdnight the General started out upon his usual nightly rounds and invited me to accompauy him. [accepted the invitation gladly, aud, wre ing our long waterproof cloaks about us, we sailied out in the darkness. Huge black masses of clouds Bull covered the sky and hid the pale-faced moon, which the might before had lent her Jight to the god of war, The raiu was still falling suilenly and steadily down, as though determiued w wash out and efface forever the bloody stains that have red- dened the ground here for days. Valérien had ceased its thunders, bur it could be seen looming up darkly against the sky, like some mighty giant sen- tinel asleep at his post. The crashing voice of the mitraiilcuse and the cuassepot was hushed for once; no lights were to be seen, not even in the direction of Paris, aud with the silence that reigned around, broken only by the murmur of rain or the wind signing through the trees, we might easily nave imagined ourselves deep in the recesses of some primeval American® foresi, surrounded by Indians @nd wild beasts, instead of betng, as we were, Within a stone's throw of a city of two millions of peopte, the capital of the civilized world. Paasing noisclessly turough the garden we came ont upon the Houlevard Jukerman and turned down to the Aveuue du Roule at its Juncuon with the Boulevard Argusson, where there is a formida- bie barricade, or earthwork, rather, mounted with several ploces of seven and tweive. Here there were tweuty-five or thirty men, who were thought enough to guard it during the suspension of hostile a ae deel oa about unuer the trecs, heltering themselves ag best they might i1 aking rain. <i sare ALIGHT IN THE DISTANCE ‘The oMicer on duiy took tho General a littl to one side and pointed to a light shining through the trees Wich caine from the tourth story of a house within the lines of the enemy, It was fitting back and forth, appearing and disappearing, as fnough con- veying signals, Then taking us to another point at some disiance, he showed us another light within our own és also moving about in the same manner, He said he had been observing the two liguts for some time and they had excited bis suspi- cious, as the two houses were evidently visible from each other, aud ali lights were urdered to be put out at dark, WHA?

Perhaps, after all, it was only some dark-haired French girl, tranquilly disrobing her fair form to go to rest, and naa for- gotten the shutters, and what a frightened pair of eyes and what a pale, scared face there would have been could she have seen that dark form bending down to look along the body of that grim iron mon- Pai) as he bronghi it to bear upon her bedroom win OW. WAITING FOR THE RESULT. While the men were surrounding the other house | the General told me that a fow nights before he had observed lights up at Valérien, which had greatly excited his attention and curiosity, although it dit not occur to hin at the moment that they might be aignyis, They woresed, yellow and blue, and moved They sieep a day or two, get a.| f etdt easily converted, as by that means they | have the Hberly of the town instead of beimg silut | abont ina very mysterious way—sometimes alont sometimes together. Going down to the Maillot Gate iu the course of his rounds, he was toid that the same thing had been opserved in a tall building near therAvenue de la Grande Armée, Silently surround. ing this house and placing sentries at ail the opeu- ings they had forced an entrance, bat founa it en- Urely abandoned, It had not mn occupied for some days, and although they searched it thoroughly from top to bottom not a trace of a -haman being nor of the lights could be found. Those who were watching at che gate said tue Ughts had suddenly disappeared, and that was all they were ever able to learn about it. EPIES—AQCURATH INFORMATION. ‘This incident, the General said, had made them suspicious, the more so as they were sure that many of (he Inhabitants of Neuiily were acting as spies, No sooner had he !e{t his previous quarters than the shells ceased failing in that neighborhood and com- mence’ falling hear nis present position, showing conclusively tiat some one was conveying occurate information by some imeans or other of uls every movement.

The International Exhibiuon brought to London from their retreat mm Chiselnurst a couple of the most devoted Imperialiste. As @ rule they do not Jeave Chiselhurst at all, They live there in perfect seclusion, and those I had the chance of seeing the other day avowed to me that since they pul their foot on English soil they had only been twice in London, and then only for a couple of hours. Yet, when they came this time they wanted to dine, and I took advantage of the circumstance, expecting that I should get some information from them re- garding the schemes of the imperialist party. IMPERIAL RETICENCE AND CONFIDENCE, Tt appears, however, tbat the imperialists are now more reticent than ever, No political information could be pumped ont of these gentlemen, the only thing perfectly plain being that they are quite conf- dent that in less than a month the Emperor will be again tn France—abdicating his rights in favor of nis fon and euch @ regency as tne Assembly, @ fresh one, or that stull exisung, may select.

It was stated that there had been an improper intimacy existing between the deceased an her lover, Charles Reed, employed at station D, but the evidence adauced went to show that she was agirl of excellent character, and the testimony fafied to show that her good name had been tar- nished in the least, Aside from the extreme morti- fication she felt at the disappointment in not being married at the time appointed there scemed to have been no cause for the act. Subjoined wil be found a synopsis of THE TESTIMONY.

The prisoner is aMicted with what is known us “homicidal mania,” which 1s manifested inter- multtently. In the intervals of his murderous paroxysms he seems to be perfectly sane, Tho case of Boyd, who 18 indicted for the murder of Peter McGowan, was called, and the work of em- panelling a jury was commenced. ‘he counsel for poyd is General Archihald C, Niven, of Monticello, Sullivan county, a friend of the owner of Boyd when the latter was a siave in North Carolina, before the war. Betore the jurors were called General Niven ad- dressed the following remarks to the Court:—I do not propose on behalf o! the prixoner to adopt the course which some of our eminent protesstonal brethren in the city of New York adopt IN REFERENCE TO CHALLENGING.

Boyd is ® negro oi rather fine personal appearance, His ieatuies ave rather of the Caucasian than of the Ethiopian type, and he is said to be very Intelligent. His conduct be(ore the murder was quite exemplary. THE PACTS OF THE MURDER are briefly as follows:—It seems that there had been a strife between the colored waiters employed in (he restaurant of the Orange County Hotel, at Tarners', and. the house,servants, who were Irish, a Saturday eveuing, July er, Join Boyd, shot and owan, On that evening Foyd got into an aitercation, In the kitchen, with one of the femate cooks, whom he called an “Irish slut,” McGowan, Who was listenlug to the wordy now took the part of the woman negro, and said to the latter thy language was not proper to be used to any woman, black or wilte. At this Boyd became enraged and dared McGowan to go out on the platform and “fight tt out.

CUTTER CALLED UP. 'The Doctor Pleads Guilty to Misgewcanor— Public Sentiment on the Subject—Profee- sionnl Avxlety About the Sentence, In the Essex County Court of Quarter Sessions in Newark yesterday Dr. James 6B.

When called upon by ‘he prosecutor, Mr. Titsworth, to plead, the doctor rose to his feet and retracted his former plea and pleaded guilty to the charge as contained in the in- dictment. He was then remanded to the County Jail to awalt sentence. In the meantime the greatest dnxtety 13 felt as to what the sentence will be. Looked at in its worst light the case !s admitted to ve hot nearly as bad as the last similar one 1a Newark, and the principal in that was only subjected to a fine of $600, Among unoiassed persons, therefore, it ts believed tnat the doctor will bot, in view of many mitigating circumsiances, be dealt with eny more severely, if even as much so. It cannot be denied, a8 adimiited hy several promi- nent medical men, that the only persons who con- sider he merits any worse punishment are members of the prisoner’s oWn profession, many of whom are said to be in the greatest agony lest he should not be sent to the State Prison, WURDER ON THE RAIL.
