EARIS, April 3, (6 p.m.)‘-~0ne hundred thousand‘Nationels in three corps, with 200 guns marched out of Paris this morning via Montrouge, Issy and Reuill, all destined in Versailles. Fort Valerien fired all day npon Keuil, and flying batteries at Mendon, cannonaded the Nationals debouching from Issy on the Versailles road. Valerien can nonuded the rear guard of the Naiionals entering the valley between Puteaux and Buzenval. Some detachments are retreat- ing in a disorderly condition. There is nothing certain respecting the force that passed Valerien, but various conflicting ruâ€" mors are given. One report- says then they are surrounded, while another declares that they elfected a junction and turned Meudon where the majority of the Versailles army is concentrated. During the operations or. the right ihere was a fierce engagement between the artillerv zit Meudon and the Parisian artillery. Several members of the Commune wearing red sashes led the bet- talions. IL is said ihat a superior Versailles officer has been taken prisoner. The Momteur says that. the Zuuaves re- pulsed the Natlonals in an attack on Castle Mention and that the National loss was heavy. “About. 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, after great preparations, the National insur- gents commenced pnssing out at the Neuilly gate, in all fifty thousand men, Generals Bergeret, Flourens and Menotti, Garlhuldi commanding. t was understood that Fort 'Valerien would not fire. About six o’clock the artillery was all in front, and General Bergeret in advance with 10,000 men, when Suddenly Valerien opened fire, killing Com mandant Henry. General Bergeret had just got out of his carriage, when the vehicle was smashed by a bombshell. The wildest scene ensued. The troops tried to retreat. The main body left Bergeret alone wiLh 10, 000 men. He tried to fight with the field artillery against Valorien. but it was useless. The Communists got into the City, but. Ber- geret and his men are cut 00", and (321111101 pass Valerien. The main body escaped with a loss of one hundred, but Bergel‘et must lose large numbers. Altogether there are 12,000 men killed, wounded and missingr including Bergeret’s forces. The Commu» nist troops under arms number 150,000 men. Tremenduous excitement prevails. Cdmmunicmions with the outside world is cut. off and only peasants bringing pro- v‘is‘ons are admitted to Paris.

The army of Versailles, composed of troops in whom Thiers and his Government have confidence, is marching to the over- throw of the leaders of the rubble and the insurrection, and the paper patriotism of the wild and unreasoning zealots who have hoisted the Red Flag on the Tuilleries will soon be put to test. The logic of the Chas- sepot, and the argument of the bayonet will have a grent deal more weight with the Communists than the persuasiveness of' the President or the promises of his Ministers. The orderly French appear to have taken the route pursued by the Germuns m their triumphal entry of Paris, and the advance- guard has met and driven back in confusion the outposts of the. disorderly French. This is the only result of the offensive operations Ithat has as yet taken place, but a few days more will decide the fate of the capital, and with it probably now, as heretofore, the fate of. the whole country. LONDON, April 3,â€"A despatch from Ver. sailles today says Marshal McMahon has been appoiued Commanderâ€"in-Chief of the French Army.

NEW YORK, April 3.â€"A special corres- pondent at Paris, April 2nd, telegraphs:-- There was a serious engagement this morn- ing between the Government troops and the Communists. Abouttwo thousand ‘5 .iional Guards marched on Courlevoie. 2w! were met by gen d’armes and Gardes Foreieires. The captain of the latter gallouul up, wavmg his cap, intending to address the Communists, when a Zouave with that body shot him dead. A general action followed. in which the gen d’armes tool: five prisoners, one 17 years of age, who were shot imme- diately. The guns of Fort Valerin swept the road and the Communists fled. Twenty- five insurgents were killed and many more wounded. The engagement was over at one o’clock. The National Guards still hold Port Maillot. Battalhons of artillery are hurrying up, the rappel is beating, and the ramparts are being manned. The greatest exgitement prevails. The same correspondent telegmphs front Verseilles, April 2nd, evening: A crisis is at hand: two baltaries are in motion on the Paris road, and the ambulances are all ready. Bismarck has given permission for any num- ber of troops to be massed near Paris, and says that if order is not restored in Paris by the 15th inst., the Germans will enter. This news may be considered as reliable. Othervspecial despatches report that the 75th Regiment of the Line came to Paris on Saturday and fratdmized with the Nationals. The Paris Commune have issued a decree arngning Theirs, Favre, Picard, Dufuure, Sxmon, and Fothuap, before the trbunal of LONDON, April 4,: (1:30 a.m.).â€"â€"Several battalions of Natih'nal Guards with twenty guns went out in the morning to Sevres and Meudon, and had an artillery fight with the Versailles troops. The firing commenced to the left of Mendon. The guns of the Government forces were the most numerous but those of the Nationals were the best served. At 10 30 a.m. reinforcements were sent out to the Nationals, who advanced their batteries. The Nationals stood fire well and rumors favorable to them were current. Parisian journals of the Red type con- ‘1inue to profess the most devoted loyalty to line true interests of the Republic, clamor for the downfall of tyrants, and urge the extension of communistic doctrines through- out France. There are external evidences in the report that reach us that, all is not harmony in the councils of the Commune, as there has been considerable activity in the making and unmakin,r_Ir of officials, some of Whom are of high-rank. The bayonet will soon, however, prick this bubble of Montmatre, or demonstrate the existence of unknown and unsuspecled strength on the part of the adherents of Commision.â€" Globe. The French Emeute. large scale, has proved disastrous to the Communists. The unexpected cannonade of Valerien threw the Nationals into con- fusion, and it is asserted that the following is now the situationzâ€"Bergeret, with [5,- 000 men, was completely out off; then Flourens was purposely permitted to effect . a junction with him and Flourens and Ber- N‘lli geret, with 35,000 men must surrender or “5'1 fight at the greatest disadvantage.

The gens-d’armes 18” l treat all prisoners utiniercifully. of ent ver- the of ave ' Meanwhile a most dramatic scene took place in the church. The ladies had all fainted. The gates had been closed in order to prevent the people entering the church. Several ofl‘iccrs and police agents alone penetrated into it. An officer was very po- litely assuring the terrlfied ladies that he had taken every possible measure for guarantee- ing: them from any molestation, when Don Raffaele Collatti, a priest who had just finished saying mass, attacked a police ofii- cer, exclaiming. “Away from this church. excommunicated ruflian l” A police inspec- tor ordered the arrest of the priest, and having dressed him up in the clothes of a layman, conveyed him to prison. The streets leading to the church had been cleared and nobody was allowed to pass. All the clerical partizans were accompanied in cabs to their homes, and many a. lady Who had up to that day looked with horror at an Italian officer, now entreated him to accompany and protect her. Among the people in the church there happened to be three English ladies and two gentlemen. Finding them. selves involuntarily in the confusion they asked a police officer to escort them to tlleir hotel. When the crowd which stood out- side the military cordon saw these English tourists accompanied by the agent,who wore thevtri colored sash, it: broke out into loud cheering, and made way for them, cryiugr, “Dowu with the Jesuits! Longr live the Protestantism i” (all English are Protestants with the Romans). The English ladies es- pecially seemed very proud at being made the object of a popular ovation, and bowed graciously right and left: Meanwhile a pcrquisition had been made in the church itself, and the result was, that in the sacristy some boxes were found containing revolvers and axes. At five o’clock the crowd had dispersed and all appeared as quiet as be- fore. But late in the evening a large dem onstration, preceded by fire and lighted torches, crossed the Corso, and halted at the Quirinal Palaee. Here the people shouted, “ Longr live the Kingl” Long live the Royal Princess 1” “ We want the Jesuits out of Italy 1" “Down with the Jesuits!” After some few minutes the demonstration quitted the Quirinal square and proceeded to the church of the Gesu, which had been the scene of the morning’s row. Hisses and shouts of “Down With the Jesuits 1” re- sounded on every side; but at. last the Na- tional Guards and troops succeeded in inducing the people to disperse and return Ito their homes.-â€"â€"From the Daily News. The day before yesterday the Church of the Gesu was crowded with the partizans of the clerical party. Father Tommasi had been preaching, and his political allusions had been anything but favorable to the Ital- ian Sovereign and people. When the preach- ing was over Fat'her' Tommasi, as is the custom, exclaimed. “And now, beloved brethren, I recommend you a. generous eler mosina in behalf of the Church.” A young man, an officer of the National Guard, who had attended the service, dressed en bargeoz's exclaimed to a friend oflhis, “We have had the comedy, now comes the farce.” An ex-Pa al gendarme caught the words and pea e 1mm:me t‘tflfll‘mogg around him. Just as the young officer was coming; out of the church some twenty Papal par. tizans attacked him with sticks. He de- fended himself as well as he possibly conld. Other Liberals came to his rescue, and finally the Carabiners and police agents separated the combatants.» But thi'was nothing. Many of the friends of the young National Guard declared they would give a lesson to these fanatics. Accordingly, yes- terday morning, while Father Tommasi was preaching, groups of young men were seen strolling on the Square of the Gesu. When the sermon was over the first to appear coming out from the church were a group of eX-papal gendarmes and Zouaves, all armed with stout cudgels. The people in the square commenced hissing and crying, “Down with the Papal partizans, Down with the Jesuits l" The papal partizans, who were now in some strength, descended the flight of stairs leading to the church en masse, and attacked the crowd. All the efforts of the police agents to separate the combatants provmg fruitless, two companies of infantry with mounted bayonets were ordered to disperse the crowd. The officers and Carahiniers succeeded in separating them, and arrested some twenty individuals belonging to both parties. “ On Monday the insurgent masses at- taeked‘our forces simultaneously at Nanterre Rueil, Bougival, Bezons, Chatillon, and Croissy. Fort Valerien at drybreak began to cannonade the insurgents, who were at first sheltered by the villages of Nanterre, Rueil, and Bougival. They subsequently attacked the Government forces, by whom they were repulsed. Gen. Vinoy, with cav- alry, was by this time in a position threaten- ing to outflank the insurgents, and they fled in a. complete rout, leaving many of their dead and wounded in the hrnds of the Gov- ernment troops.” The insurgents in Forts Vanvres and Issy fired on the troops to-day. The Government forces have jqu attacked the insurgents and a speedy and complete success is anticipated. In the Assembly Ito-day M. Thiers, in some remarks on the state of affairs, said the Government would deal harshly with the ringleaders of the insurrection, but leniently with their dupes. The sentiment was re- ceived with applause. The Daily News despatches confirm the route of the insurgents, who proved great hlusteriug cowards, and who expected Va.- lerien would paternize with them. The Pontifical ZoueL'Ves shoot all prisoners in~ stantly.

The act itself-is a good and desirable one, but the working out of the details seem to be disregarded. What is necessary to ensure punctuality 1n having these returns attended to pro- perly is, that the heads of families, mi- nisters and doctors should consider it a duty they owe to the state to have these returns made at the proper time. Let a few of the ofi'enders be fined, even if it be nominally, and their punishment re- corded in the local press, and the result will prove that an example or two will bring the delinquents to understand that the law must be recognised. When per. sons come more generally to note that, in_a. tolerably complete record of statis- tics, the absence of any particular birth, marriage or death, is likely at some time in future years, to throw doubt upon al- legations made with respect to the oc- currence, the requirements of the Act will be more carefully attended to. We trust ministers and physicians will conâ€" sider it their duty to forward the work- ing of the Registration Act, by giving all information and assistance to the District Registrars in the neighborhoods in which they live and have our own county correctly represented. For some time the opinion has been gaining strength, that the provisions of the Act, and amendments thereto, reâ€" specting the registration of births, gnarâ€" riages and deaths in Ontario, are greatly neglected by the community. There is not a more useful branch of information than what can be preparedfrom full and correct statistical returns of births, mar- riages and deaths. The first returns of these statistics for the province of On- tario, were made under the provisions of Victoria 32â€"33, Chap. 30, by the Regis- trar General for the six months ending 31st December 1869, to the Legislature lately in session; and which are entirely useless for the purposes required to be obtained, in so far as the people have not been fully alive to the importance of re- cording these events with their Division Registrar, in the {person of the Clerk of the municipality. For instance, we notice in the report that the County of York, with a population of 104,495 souls, is credited with only 537 births, 258 marriages, and 224 deaths. In the township of Vaughan, the Division books show that there were registered in the Clerk’s olfice, during the year ending 31st December, 1870, 7 9 births, 36 marriages, and only 14 deaths. In a populous township like Vanghan,numbering nearly 7000 inhabitants, these returns ought to show immensely difi'erent results; in fact, the last named figures might be taken for the statistics of two concessions and be nearer the truth, than for a reliable statement for the Whole municipality. The Act made ample provision for the authorities to enforce the law. “Of “ births it is enacted that by Section 8 “ of the 32 Victoria, the father or other “person, shall report the birth within “ thirty days from the date of such birth “ to the Division Registrar, and as far “as possible fill up the information re- “ quired byAhedule A of said Act. “Of marriages: that by Section 12 of “ the 32 Vjctoria, and by Section 5 of the “ 33 Victoria, all Clergymen shall report, @1119 é‘gmfla “ééwmm.

The official lists of the killed and wounded ‘ on the German side during the war have now been made up at Berlin, as far as relates to the army of the late North German Band and the Baden division, The unmber given of killed in action is 13,960, ofwonnded 88, 924, or, total casualties, without the missing, ‘ 102,884. But to these ‘will have to be ad- ded at least 20,000 more of Bavarians and Wertembergers. so that the Germans alto lgether may be considered to have lost 120, DODâ€"that is, more than six times as many as Prussia lost in 1866 when the casualties did not quite reach 20,000. The expenditure of the war is in still greater proportion to that of 1866, owing to the longer duration. The latter was returned alt-124,000,000 tha- lers. The present war has been rudely es- timated at Berlin at amounts varying from $20,000,000 to £150,000,000 sterling.‘ But these estimates are for money laid out, and do not inclnde stores expended. These 'it took £4,000,000 to replace in 1866. Lastly there are the liabilities for pensions, and for compensation to the Germans driven out of France. The latter claim, having-been excluded from the treaty, is understood to have been handed over to the German Go- vernment to be met out ofthe general pecu- niary penalty imposed on France. ~15 hé flléfifap ’é'éoiwefiéndentiaysthd the first Prussian army (harps ha? been or- dered to hold itself ready to march to Paris.

Duval commanded the centre, and Gen. Eridest the left wing. The left and left centre suffered more heavily in the engagement than the right. but were protected in their retreat by the fire of the forts held by the Communists. The Nationals were badly organized and having but a limir ted supply were soon out of ammunition. Many tried to return to Paris, but found the gates shut and men posted on the ramparts who threatened to shoot it' they attempted to re-enter the city. The contest at Le Bats Meudon was exceedingly bloody. The firing of the batteries manned by the artillerists from the Versailles army is pronounced to have been fully equal in spirit and effect to the German bombardment of Paris. Every fresh despatch from Cuba brings accounts of atrocities more horrible than the former. War, with any decent regard for the usages of the modern battle field, has long since degenerated into brutal butchery. This, in its turn, has given place to tortures and atrocities, unknown almost to savages. A few days ago it was announced that. the Spaniards had captured and killed an entire party of gue,illas; later, that the volunteers had roasted a man alive, first driving a stake through his inside, and that whole families -â€"iieither age or sex sparedâ€"had been mur. dered. Quarter is given on neither side, and Cuba has become the battle field for fiendish carnage. How long will it be per- mitted ‘3 Or must it only cease, when there is no longer a hand to be raised in rebellion, no longer a rebel to be killed ? The programme was well carried out. The “Gipsy chorus" and "A Fisher- man’s glee,” were well rendered by the Yorkville Glee club. Mrs. A. M.

There was also £100,000 ex- pended on fortifications, but that is not a charge on the year’s income but was pro- vided for by the creation of annuities, which will appear year by \year as part of the‘ charge for the national debt. 7 The notes 'of the cuckoo have been heard in the neighborhood of Windsor. ‘3 A WA firg’c‘mmgfiil ~I, . day, a lady was walking on the Ho‘lborn Viaduct, London.
