ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH NEWS VIA SUEZ.

The following telegrams were published in a Colonist Extra this morning. London, May 21. The following is a summary of the final collapse of Paris and insurgents. Severe engagements have taken place on the 20th at Auteuil and Passy. The Versailles troops made several attempts to assault the ramparts with ladders. The ramparts round Montrouge were abandoned. On May 21 the Federalists began to return to Paris in great numbers, through the gates of Orleans and Chatillpn. , Sharp engagements have occurred"! in the Place de la Concorde and the Pldce Vendome, where Dombrowski, Comman-der-in-Chief of the Insurgent troops, was wounded. He attempted to escape, but was prevented by German soldiers stationed outside the City, who also prevented the escape of all Insurgents they could find. M. Thiers announced, on the 25th, that the Government troops were masters of Paris, except Bercy, and that has since been occupied during a fight for Paris. A great number of Insurgents were killed, the streets being strewn with dead bodies. There was over 20,000 prisoners. On 26 May, the Government troops captured the Mazars, Lyous and Orleans Railway Station, and Barrier De l'Etoile, but the Insurgents still occupied Charon, La Villette, Belleville, and the heights of Chaumont, whence they threw petroleum shells, causing serious conflagrations. Women assisted in firing the houses and otherwise acting in a moat demonical manner. On the 28th, the insurgents evacuated and blew up Fort Ivry, and the Government troops captured the heights of Charmont. and Belleville, taking a great number of prisoners. , From, this time there were no insurgents bands, and the insurrection was entirely suppressed. The Palaces of the Luxembourg and of ths Louvre are almost destroyed. the works of art, collection of paintings, antiquities, &c, were saved, except the library. The National Library was saved. #.'■■. I~" ' Before finally rputed, the insurgents took revenge upon the hostages they held.

Jules Favre has instructed all the representatives of France in foreign countries to .request the authorities 'V-to arrest all persons who had escaped there, and who were guilty of complicity in the disturbances in Paris. He urged upon those gentlemen that the acts of the Insurgents were crimes, and not political offences. * The hon. Mr. Bruce stated in reply, that the English Government could not prevent the entry of refugees against whom no ordinary crimes have been or can be proved. Spain's reply is that the Spanish Government will not prevent the passage of fugitives across the fcobtier, but ' they will rigorously execute tbe extradition treaty.
