M. Thiers has not advanced a step towards the subjugation
of Paris. Troops are coming in daily from Germany, and Marshal MacMahon has accepted the supreme command, but up to Friday morning no advantage had been gained. On the contrary, Dom- browski, the new General of the Commune, had by the latest accounts reorganized the National Guards and carried the bridge of Neuilly, while bey and Vanves had driven off sharp attacks. The gen- darmerie at the disposal of M. Thiers, who fight splendidly, are becoming fewer, and the troops fight no better than at first ; while the Nationals are acquiring military habitude, have submitted to have their officers weeded out, and have been placed under the authority of courts-martial which exercise the power of life and death. Cluseret, the Minister at War of the Commune, is in fact welding his miscellaneous troops rapidly into an army.
