' The Commune occupied Issy Park, declare Vauvresiienable, and captured barricades. „ ; Jafcte'and Binean Blanchet, members of Commune, are arrested. . ' / Rossel avoids useless destruction of property. New York, May 6. A special Versailles despatch says Jules Favre and Quertier, Minister of Finance, started to meet Bismarck at Frankfort. It is thought the cause of meeting has reference to money matters. The truth is the German authorities telegraphed that if the Versaillists do not enter Paris by Monday, the Prussians will on Tuesday. Favre hopes to gain an extensioif .of

time, but is unlikely to succeed. It is probable the Prussians will bring back the Empire if they enter. Favre and Simon are likely to resign shortly, in consequence of discussions in the Assembly. There was no firing to-day, but will begin from Montretout to-morrow. It is believed a grand attack will be made on Sunday night. The troops are in excellent condition. Moulin Sagnet was taken by a sergeant dressed in a blouse, pretending to be a drunken National; he cut down the sentry before he had time to give au alarm, and the rest rushed in. Nearly one thousand prisoners were taken yesterday. A Paris correspondent telegraphed last night he had met Von Rossel. He complained of the erroneoxxs statement published about him, that he had demanded a commission froai Thiers, and was refused This assertion i»as devoid of truth. Since the capitulation of Paris the ties binding him with the army had Veeu broken, and he remained at his post simply to finish work he had in hand. For a long time past his connection had been antagonistic to the former social organization of old France, which has just succumbed in such a cowardly manner. Great consternation prevailed in the Qnartier dea Gobelins to-day respecting three battalions captured at Moulin Sagnet, who all belong to that quarter. Women gathered in crowds to enquire for their husl lands and friends. The sitting of the Commune was stormy I yesterday. ! The chief of the staff of flotilla has been arrested on the charge of deceiving "the Commune regarding the quantity of stores in ships tinder his charge. The New York Tribune says that Senator Osborne, now in Brooklyn, has received information by several private letters from Florida that Mr Mahoney, Republican Member of the Lower House, Florida Legislature, was killed in Lake City on the 26th April. Reports are that a quarrel was provoked to secure an apology for killing him. He was a Southener, and a Confederate soldier. Some time ago he joined the Republican party, and was elected to the legislature in November. The Senator also has letters posi- I tively asserting that about the time of Mahoney's death, three men appeared in Tallahasse for the avowed purpose of assassinating Joe Reid. Yesterday, a terrible accident occurred in the Sing Sing prison, which imperilled the lives of eight convicts. The men were marching to the mess room for dinner, and while crossing over a gallery floor the structure gave way, precipitating several men to the pavement 40 feet beneath ; others dropped to the gallery below, sustaining severe injuries. The scene was one of the wildest excitement, during which numerous attempts to escape were made by prisoners. The officials acted promptly and coolly, however, and in a short time extracted the victims from the debris. The cause of the accident was the breaking of one of the iron brads which supported the gallery. It is feared that two men are fatally injured. Washington, May 6. Hichardson, assistant-secretary of the Treasury, will sail for Europe about the loth of June, to aid in negotiating the new loan tbere, and will be accompanied by John P. Bigelow, chief of the loan division of the Treasury department, and three clerks from the Secretary's office, avlio will act as experts, to aid in protecting the Government against counterfeits in exchanging bonds.
