Panis, June 4, 1871. If I were situated many material and mental Planes above Paris at this moment, and had been so situated for months, partaking neither of its agita- Uons nor civil wars, I feel convinced that I would say that Paris bas not been so happy for a year as it has been to-day. Sunday, always enjoyed, ever blessed Interval of vacation, it bas been to this city to-day twenty-four hours of the softer, calmer, sweeter joy that comes to men after sad and deplorable events. Yesterday one week the civil war ended; yesterday ‘Wo weeks its Onal struggle began; upon this last Gay tbe heavily loaded nearts of the Communists, Duoyed into an evanescent hope by sixty-four days of success, had begun to sink and lic fallow. The twenty-second came, and with it the feeling that “4 house diviaed against itself must fall;’’ for this im- mease family of two millions, surrounded by its ramparted circumference, had the element of ais- cord in its midst—the army of France. Though LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED HOURS have passed since the last battle was fought and ‘won by the National Assembly, the Commune of Paris is already a thing of history—a fact stripped of the hates and asperities it engendered—a buried, regretted, apologized-ior uprising of men,previously denied and feitered—I have watted curiously to catch the first breathings of delence and apol- ogy for the late bloody and incendiary Commune. To-day I have heard and felt them. Frenchmen are beginning to DARE TO EXPLAIN ‘What they could not encourage or proclaim. They are beginning to declar®tnat there can never be an insurrection without an abuse, a massacre without a@provocation. It is not beyoud the theme of inter- rogation to demand if the government has not been too cruel and sweeping io Its reprisats, and if the French army has not acted with a brutality that justifies its dark historical record in Algeria, This is the cry—the summary of all discussions on the Dou.evards of Paris, those points of the thermome- ter which indicate the ebulition of the popular mind. ‘There 1s @ Singular gradation in that long winding thorougufare of this city Known as the Loulevard, that seems to bear the same relation to me- chanics as the thermometer to Fahrenheit, The normal potat 13 absviute quiet at Belleville, and When the excitement begins to rise the mercury of agitation fouts rapidly along until it reaches the Grand Calé, the 212 degrees of revolutions and coups Weal. THE CITY'S RUINS. The telegraphic reports sent from Versailles last week have, of necessity, been greatly exaggerated. | But now that we have an opportunity to judge for ourselves We ud that about one-half of the numer- ous edifices believed to have been entirely destroyed have received ony sight damage. During the days of terror it became exceedingly dimicult to locate the seat of a conflagration. Viewed from a distance the fires appeared more extensive by reason of com- busuble matter which had been massed together; it lent to the flames a vividness and intensity not witnessed On ordinary occasions, Even residents of Paris were deprived of accurate knowledge as to the exact spot where the fire raged. several of my friends inside the city have repaired to the tops of their houses to witness the burning of the Ministry of Finances. But National Guards ordered them instanuy to Jeave the rool under pain of being shot if they attempted 10 reappear.

THE GRAND HOTEL (outwardly) is uninjured. The houses opposite have sudered @ good deal, especially tue hatter’s store below the Washington Ciub. The troutage of the store presents an interesting picture; the wats pierced by bullets are selling, or, rather, f should say, offered for sale, at very extravagant prices, TAE WOKK OF DABTRUCTION puts immense sums of money inw the pockets of glass manufacturers. All those immense sheets on the Boulevard des Italiens—say at Dussantay’s store, Kiela, boisster and ovbers—bave been swashed to aoms. Few stores escaped. The damage doue dives not, however, extend beyond the perforation of shutters and ihe vreakiug of glasses.

Lazare alforded .a curious spectacie, People who had not seen Paris lor nearly a year alighted from the long and heavily encumbered train with meagre baggage and dispersed up the Bou.evard Haussmann to their long-vacated homes. Those who had been Peosheats Yet Paris is not France, as the world F living at Versaliles under the shadows of the mighty As-eimbly came in With a pleased wir and @ triumph- ant smile to see ‘you Parisians who nave been making all unis émeuce 1” At st. Lazare 1 found no but I suspected garb, for I noticed that a hittie quiet conversation with a friend seemea to be very interesting to several #renchmen, whose chins and upper ilps looked as if they had just been shorn of late imposing tmperiais and mustaches. Babies were beiug brought to homes where they were born, but which, thauks to ther tniantile understandings, they Couid not appreciate, either in the removing or partial destruction. I shouid judge that at least 30,000 people came in by the Ver- saiiles Railway on Saturday, and probably ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND by the other different roads. Tue exodus was not near as larze, and consisted im trayeilers who Voyaged to see the recent battle Jeids and scenes of carnage. I mounted the railway train at half. Pust twelve. it moved rapidly through Clichy, Shattered and badly mutilated Asnieres, Courve- vole, with wneir fascined batteries; Suresnes, and under the frown of inposing, famous Vaicrien. The whole country was clad in @ soft and smiling foliage, aud the green sward and neglected verdure were being already toned down by workmen. Cot- Lages, roofiess and cunning little ‘villas, perforated by sneils, windowless and paneless, were already belug ry? im repair. ‘the civil war had been finished, and with it had begun balmy, saiubrious Summer, Hence the owners could not neglect thelr suburban homes. There was noi so much damage as one would expect along this route. A few tall chimneys had tumbled into a@ mass of brick debris; probably one thou- saud houses had been rendered utterly inhabit- able, ail of which will bave to be rebuilt; and three thousand more were to a more or less extent mutl- lated, But the quiet giens and pretty, enchanting arbors shone forth in all thetr ancient beauty, and Lewin) aiter all, has suffered but litile in lis environs, These SUBURBAN VILLAGES are among the most beautiful m the world.

The Orle Princes—The Debate Upon the Abrogution of the ws Exiliog Them— Thiers Specch—The Proscription Laws Re- scinded—The Elections of the Duke d’Au- male and Prince de Joinville Declared Valid. VERSAILLES, June 8, 1871. The hall of the National Assembly presented to- day a crowded and animated appearance in antici- pation of the debate upon the abrogation of the laws exiling the Orleans Princes, M. Barthe brought up the report of the commit- tee, and in the course of his remarks he stated that the committee had unanimoasly rejected M. Brunet’s Proposals, but had decided to advocate the Assem- biy’s adopting the motion of M. Giraud for the abolition of the laws exiling the Princes of the House of Bourbon. M. Barthe maintained that the electors of three departments of: France, by electing the princes, had virtually demanded the cessation of their exile. He reminded the Assembly of the circular which had been issued by the princes, and wherein they gave to their election its proper significance, by announcing their adhesion to the will of the nation, whether it proved tobe in favor of a republic or a constitutional monarcuy. In the name of the committee M. Barthe made a declaration of confidence in the execntive power, and stated that all coustitutioual questions were leit out of consid- eration, the committee's only object beirg to put an end to an uDjust proscription. M. Barthélemy St. Hilare read the report of the Ninth Bureau, examining the electton of the Prince de Joinville, simply from the legal point of view. The report concludes in favor of ratifying the elec- tion, and the report of the Tenth Bureau sums up Mn | in favor oi the eiection of the Duc d'Aumale. M. BILLY read a resolution emanating from the deputies of the departments occupied Y the Ger- mans, dewanding the postponement the ques- tions of the proscription and of the ratification of the election, In order to avoid all pretext for an agi- tation, whigh might aggravate the position of the occupied provinces. Twenty memvers submitted another resolution to the same effect. M. LEBLOND, the Procurator General, pointed out the dangers which would resalt from raufying the elections and allowing the princes to return to France, He reminded the Chamber that among the princes there was not one that had not put fortn pretensions to the throne. “Civil war,” he said, ‘‘stul existed in» latent state in the large towns and rendered great prudence and moderation necessary. The moment ‘was inopportune for adopting the views of the com- mittee, and the eflect of vbeir adoption would be to weaken ihe bas of M. Thiers, M. BaRrTuE refuted the grounds for apprehension given by M. Leviond. M. THTERS then ascended the tribune and satd he never before found himself faced by so difficuit a question, He expiatned the perplexity of nis post- tion, and showed tmat the subject under discussion was ® political question, and wonld be so considered by the country. He said the Assem- bly ought vo decide upon the question pot only con- Scienuously, but also with @ fuli knowledge of the facts. M. Thiers then proceeded to explain why he was at first opposed to the abrogation of the law of proscription and why he subsequently assented to the vill, He described the sate of the country and sald:—"'We have just put an epd to one of the greatest civil wars ever Wazed. We have obtained one of the greatest victories ever achieved, Ew thanks us and congratulates us on our victory, for We have saved the whole Contl- nent from anarchy. Our position has completely changed from what it was a mouth ago. Our defeats are forgotien; our victory alone is remem- bered. At the same time we int not delude our- selves; the insurrection is disarmed but not ap- peased. ‘The excitement 1 still reat in the pablic mind, and we must avoid providing fresh material for feeding we popular passions."’ During the discussion M, Thiers made @ speech, in which he said, “I at first oppused the aboli- Uon of the Jaw exiting the Princes of the House of Bourbon from France, because I believed (and 1 Still believe) that such @ course would be dangerous and might bring about disturbances in a country where, though civil war is at an end, popular passions have uot disappeared. I have sinve ‘assented to the ideas put forth by the committee on an engagement being entered into by the Princes that they will not sit im the National Assembly, and will do nothing to justify the apprehensions which their presence tn ‘France are oagene of excl! M. Thiers proceeded to point out that in tne ifferest of orderand the public credit it Was necessary to postpone the discussion of all irritating questions, and added, “The safety of the Tepublic has been placed as @ sacred de| tin my hands, and I wilt not betray the trust.” M. Thiers concludea his speech by saying, “‘l will deceive no one.

Arrests are still being made in various parts of the city, but the real ferreting out of the remaining desperadoes who may still remain hidden in Paris ‘Will not commence in earnest for the next two or three days. The Prefecture of Police wiil be estab- lished in the Caserne ae 1a Cité—the barracks built for the Garde de Paris. When my former cocked-hatted friends get to work—they Will probably do so within the next forty- eight hours—not a “stowaway” will escape. The lynx-eyed members of the secret police have not been sleeping auring the past few months; they have marked down their game ana will pick it up easily when the police force again shall take charge of the capital. The greatest uncertainty exists as to the fate of the leaders of the insurrec- tion. Many reported to have been shot, it is now declared, are hidden in Paris, their means of con- Cealment belog the more easily effected in conse- quence of their utter insignincance before the imbe- cility and weakness of the government of the 4th September permitted the desperadoes of the Com- mune to surge upwards from the depths of tho cess- Pool of crime on the 18th of March. The opinion that military law should give place to the civil power is now generally expressed. It is evident tnat to shoot without trial every person arrested on suspi- cion of having been connected with the Commune Would be the height of madness; sume of them are Tequired as witnesses, in order that hght may be thrown on the extensive ramifications of & conspiracy many leaders of which have probably never visited Paris. Indced, the order for the arrest of the unfortunate Archvishop and priests was sent from London, as were also liste of pro- scriptions and houses to be burned, BEFORE THE ACTUAL OUTBURST of the bloody drama, on the 18th of March, I sent you @full account of the organization of the now too celebrated Central Committee of the Garde Nationale and the International Association, 1 prophesied danger; my predictions have been cruelly realized. When I wrote that the government was supported by the Freemasons it is possibie that your readers may have thought your correspondent ma My information was obtained from a sure source, as subsequent events have proved. 1 Rave now rea- son to believe that the members of the secret society which organized the late movement which has just been crushed jn Paris have lost no contidence in the uliimate success of their designs. They wall SOONER OR LATER RECOMMENCE. Of what consequence is the sacritice of life in Paris? ‘lhe International Society numbers 2,500,000 memb-rs... Probably one-third of those who have figured in tne late eventful scenes of which I have been witness were engaged in the Fenian disturbances, The International Society does not simply menace rrance; it Is a menace to the entire world. In General Cluseret’s dossier, you May remember, I discovered proof that he had, in 1867, offered to place a large number of Fenians well armed atthe disposal of the London proiessional disturbers of pubic order. THE ORIGINATOR OF SOCIALISM IN FAANCE was Babeuf, but a book by Diebueck in'4s47 and the arrival of a large number of German workmen about the same period encouragen the hopes of tue socialists. The work published by Dr. Jacobi in 1850 secured for that gentleman the sentence ot death, which was commuted to imprisonment, Diebueck published a second book, wnich gave him the privilege of snaring the fate of Jacubl. Secret societies then became numerous. The idea that THE INTERNATIONAL owes its existence to English mspiration ts an error. In 1862. young student, Karl Max, arrived in Lon- don with the programme of the Invernational in his pocket, He was of German birth and bad been con- demed to death in Prussia for some oifence con- nected with secret socielles. The International was a success, The centre of the association 1s at London. It 1s @ central committee, composed of a secretary general and fliveen memoers. Every country 1s considered as a branch of the suci- ety; each branch 13 divided into sections. Each im- portant ceutre is divided into sectious, with & central office, from which 1s transmitted a weekiy report to the central commitive at London. The re- ports give local details coacerning political and commercial occurrences; the numerical strength of Members; the pecuniary resources of tie locaity: a nominal list of traders, proprietors aud those pos- sessing private incomes. In a pecuniary point of View the society 1s not rich, the subsonptions—two sous per week—being irregularly paid; but tne assolation nevertheless furnished money for the gag oh expenses of the insurrection, To have sustained the expense for three days would have been an impossibility. Of money, how- ever, there was no'want, the government having leit Paris to be plundered by the exultant Com- munists, Want of time alone prevented the mebo- cratic tyrants, who for two mouths have committed Outrages with impunity, from carrying Inte execu. tion their design for the complete destruction of Paris should they be defeated by the Versaillists. Written orders to Communists commanders nave been found which leave no doubt as to their dia- bolical intentions. One signed Lambron, colonel on staff, by oruer of Delescluze and Billioray, directs General Dombrowski to ‘‘biow up or barn the houses which 1nteriere with the system of defence.” WHEN THE GAME WAS UP IN PARIS several bands of flying Communists attempted to seek refuge in Vincennes, Arrested by the Bavarian lune of investment near the fortress, they threw down their arms and pegged for permission to seek shelter therein. But according to the terms of the Franco-’russian convention the fortress, being con- Siderea a8 a state prison, could not be occupied dy more than 150 to 200 men. ‘he Bavarians refused to allow any infringement of the treaty, selzed the lockless National Guards, and informed them that they would be delivered up to the French military authorities. Other fugitives, however, arrivea in Tapid succession, some of whom succeeded in ob- taining entrance to the fort. HOW THE BAVARIANS ACTED, ‘The Bavarians then, in accordance with their in- structions, took possession of the fort and made risoners of all they found witiiiu its walls, includ- ing the garrison which had occupled it since the 18th inst. It appears that the Communisis, in their de- spair, had determined to blow up the fort. The javarians providentially entered just in time to cut the fuse, Masters of the situation, the Germans lost no time in not only turning the garrison out but forced the Communists to imarch slong the Avenue de Viucennes toward the Barriere au irone., The wretched disarmed remnant of the army of the Com- mune, thus taken in @ Det, was forced to march to Budden death. Jt is difficult to believe that the Ba- Varians, strict interpreters of the convention con- cluded with the French government, should have lett any Communists 3n the fort, much less that they should bave permitted them to resist the govern- ment troops, and therefore the story of the siege of Vincennes by General Vinoy can have had no otner foundation than the excited brain of some knight of the pen. BURIED ALIVE. Caving of a Bank at Newark—A Workman Killed Under the os. Another shocking accident took place in Newark yesterday afternoon, about balf-past two o'clock, While Wiliam Brannon, @ lavorer, was engaged digging an excavation for drain pipes near Gould’s place, im East Ferry street, the bank gave way and buried him completely. He was ally rescued, but the life was crushed out of him, Deceased resided in Chestout street, with his son, and had only commenced work last Monda: ‘yhe county physician was notified, and a certifica’ of accidental death granted, an inquest bemg deemed unnecessary, as in the case of the pour woman Rolf, who was 80 frightfully burned to death on Monday. A LIQUOR “DEALER CHARGED WITH LARCENY. On Tuesday afternoon, while Bernard O'Netl, of 489 Second avenue, was standing in the front of Hugh Mitcheil’s liquor saloon, ‘at the corner of Fifth avenne and Fifty-ninth street, counting $600, which he had pulled out of his pocket, he was robbed, as he alleges, of $150, 4 Thomas Kelly, a liquor dealer, of 209 avenue Kelly was arrested and taken to the Yorkville Police Court yesterday, afternoon, where he was held to answer in delault of $1,000 bail, The prisoner denies his guilt. THE DELAWARE PEACH CROP, PHILADELPHIA, June 21, 1871. Ata meeting of the Peninsula Fruit Growers’ Ae- sociation, at Dover, Del., yesterday, estimates of the crop of peaches to be forwarded by rail to mar- ket from the peninsula were prepared. They reach 3,315,000 baskets, It is provable that another 1,000,000 will go by water. ‘The wheat crop, now nearly harvested, is pro- Doauced the vest or years. LOUIS BLANC. What His Views Are on the Present Situation in France as Expressed to a Herald Correspondent. THE REPUBLIC ESTABLISHED The Fusion of Legitimists and Orlean- ists Cannot be Effected. THIERS WILL BE FAITHFUL. The Position of the Bonapartes and Dan- ger from Their Intrigues. M’MAHON CAN BE TRUSTED. Another Civil War ‘if the National As- sembly Attempt to Overthrow the Republic. VERSAILLES, June 6, 1871, I went to see M. Louis Blanc to-vay. I found him in bis quarters (ue de Montreuil) and was received with much cordiality, It is not the first time we have met; but he is never diiicu!t of access, how- ever busy he may be, and is evidently a man wno is polite not for the sake of politeness, but trom genuine kindly teeling. OUR CONVERSATION naturally turned upon the present situation of France gna the prospects of the republican party since the collapse of the Commune. He said he considered the existence of the republic seriously compromised by the insurrection in Paris, 1t having played into the hands of the monarchists as com- pletely as if paid for doing so. People, ne sald, woud never distinguish between the Commune and the republic. Because the Communists had shouted “Vive la republique!” the two things would be confounded. They did not consider that there might be an insurrection agatnst 8 monarchy as well as against a republic, Because there had been an insurrection against the republic they say the republic 1s impossible, without stopping to think that the same argument will apply to a monarchy or an empire equally as well. THE BOURBON FUSION. CoRRESPONDENT—Do you apprehend any danger from the expected “fusion” of the legitimists and Orleanists? Lovis BLanc—Yes; but after all the danger Is not 80 great as might be expected. C@RRESPONDENT—Do you not think they will unite? Lovrs BLanc—The two branches of the royal family may. Tho Count de Uhambord and the Duc d’Aumale may come to an understanding, but their partisans never will. It must be remembered that the former claims to govern by divine rignt, and that the Orleanists are as far from accepting this theory asthe republicans themselves, If the Doc a’ Aumale, therefore, consen‘s to adopt this doctrine he will be deserted by hia followers and they will seék some other prince on whom to bestow their suffrages. I believe they would even vote for the Yepublic rather than for any prince sustaining the antiquated doctrine of the divine right of kings. This, with the habitual intolerance and egotism of Frenchmen, will prevent their making any gerious compromise, THE POSITION OF THE REPUBLIO, Tadmit, is a very critical one, bnt that of the mon- archists is none the lexs difficult or dangerous, Each of the three parties—tne legitimists, the Orlean- ists and the imperiailsts—will have not only the republicans to contend with, but the two others also. The republic, however, isa sort of neutral ground on which they may all meet on equal terms, and either party would prefer the republic to the restoration of any one of its other opponents. 1t would be a most difficuld and dangerous undertaking to attempt setting up a king now. Tarers To be rifbsreD. CORRESPONDENT—Have you entire confidence in M. Thiers? Lovis BLanc—Yes; and I think I am in a position toknow. Ihave talked with him often during the last few weeks and I am sure that all of his im- mense influence will be thrown upon the side of the republic, THIERS CONFIDENT. CoRRESPONDENT—Has M. Thiers confidence in the success of the republic? Louis BLaNo—He has. He says the republic has fewer supporters, It 1s true, but also fewer enemies now than any other form of government.
