PARIS.
General Vinoy, the Hew Governor of the
Deva.tated Capital.
General Vinoy, whose appointment to the
Revernorshlp of Paris has been announced, is
one of the veterans of the French army. He
first saw service In Algeria, where he greatly
distinguished himself. The outbreak of the
war between France and Germany last
year found him, after a long and honorable
career, on the retired list. The war recalled
him to active service, bnt not in time to take an 1
active part in the operations in the field in the
earlier stages of the conflict. His first duty was
the organization of a special corps at the capital,
the command of which he received. At the head
of this force he marched out of Paris just pre
vious to the battle of Sedan, reaching Mezleres
after the great disaster which there over
whelmed MacMahon's army and resulted in
the capture of the Emperor. Vlnoy at onco
fell back upon Paris, conducting the retreat
With great skill and success. Just before he
succeeded in re-entering Paris with his corps,
however, he was overtaken, on the 16th of Sep
tembcr, by the advancing Germans, and a sharp
skirmish ensued between Forts Ivry and Cha
renton, in the immediate vicinity o
the capital. On the 19th he had another
encounter with the Germans near Fort
Villcjuif and Montronge, in which
his forces sustained considerable loss, and were
driven rather precipitately into Paris. After
the investment of the capital by the Germans,
he was intrusted with an Important command,
at first co-ordinate with General Ducrot, but
early in November last he was made subordinate
to the latter general, as commander of one of
the three corps Into which the active
army for the defense of the
capital was divided. He commanded the forces
which made the first sortie from Paris, on Sep
tember 20, to the south of the beleaguered city,
but was repulsed by the Germans with con
siderable loss. On the 21st of December, Vinoy
and Ducrot in company male a grand sortie, at
least 100,000 men being engaged on the French
side. Vinoy's force ventured beyond the range
of the forts to the east of the city, Ducrot going
to the south. But, although the plan of these
sorties was very comprehensive, they were
feebly executed and easily repulsed.
General Vinoy took an active part in the last
sorties duriug the siege, capturing Montretout
and holding that position for some time, on
Jannary 19. The utter failure of the demon
stration, however, brought about a reorganiza
tion and led to the resignation of Trochu, who
was, on the 21st, succeeded in the chief com
mand of the army of Paris by Vinoy. The
latter accepted the command on the express
condition that stern measures should be
taken to repress the disturbances which
were threatened by the Red Republican
element, at the prospect of a surrender to the
Germans, which was eventually consummated
on tho 38th, before the new commander-in-chief
could make another demonstration. In the
negotiations which preceded the capitulation,
General Vinoy took an active part, and fully
acquiesced ia the Inevitable fate of the city.
After the capitulation, General Vinoy was, on
February 15, appointed to the command of the
National Guards of the Seine, as successor to
General Clement Thomas. On the 1st of March
he Issued an order of the day, in which he
clearly foreshadowed the Communal revolt. The
least agitation, he said, would famish a pretext
for an irreparable misfortune, which only
calmness and dignity could avert. Relieved
from the command of the National Guards by
General Paladlnes, just before the outbreak of
the Socialist rebellion, General Vinoy was
placed in command of the Government forces
which were first led against the insurgents on
the hill of Montmartre, on the 18th of March.
lie accomplished nothing, however, ana was
severely maltreated, barely escaping with his
' life. After the appointment of MacMahon to
the chief command, Vinoy was placed at the
head of the reserves, preparatory to the final
assault on the insurgents. Ha participated
actively and successfully In the final struggle
for the possession of the city, capturing two of
the latest positions held by the insurgents, the
Place de Belleville, on the night of the 26th,
and the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise, on the fol
lowing evening.
On the 28th President Thiers appointed him
Governor of Paris, a post of great responsibility
In the present critical situation. General Vinoy
Is reported as being a decided opponent of the
republic and a warm adherent of the Bonaparte
dynasty, a circumstance which may possibly
have an important bearing on future events.
CLUSERBT'S FATE.
Another of the CommuuUt Leaders Meets
a Violent Death Ilia Adventurous Ca
reer In two Hemispheres.
For some days past the fate of the reckless
adventurer Cluseret has been Involved in doubt,
but it is now definitely announced that his dis
graceful career has had a fitting termination
On Saturday last, the 27th, he was shot by the
Versailllsts In the Barracks of Prince Eugene,
Paris.
Gustave Paul Cluseret was bora Id Paris on
the 13ih of June, 1823. In 1841 he entered the
' military school of St. Cyr, and two years later
was appointed a sub-lieutenant in a regiment of
the line of which his father held command, lie
served for four years as an instructor of the
principles of tactics, strategy, and fortifications,
and in January, 1818, was promoted to a first
lieutenancy.
Joining the Garde Mobile in April, 1313, he
waij appointed major, and took an active part in
the revolutionary troubles of that year, being
made a chevalier of the Legion of Ilonor In July
for his services. In January, 1819, he retired
from active service, and was placed on halt pay
by Louis Napoleon, then Prince President.
Cluseret then devoted himself to art, and
opened a studio in Paris, but in 1853 returned to
active service and was sent to Algeria as a lieu
tenant of Chasseurs, taking an active part in
several expeditions. Ia 1854 he saw service in
the Crimea and receieved a captaincy as a re
ward for his gallantry, a quality which has never
been denied him. In 1857 he returned to Alge
ria, where his gallantry secured him the decora
tion of officer of the Legion of Honor
Clureret again withdrew from the French ser
vice, but took part subsequently In the Italian
campaign of 185f, as commander of the French
Legion under Garibaldi. The outbreak of the
Rebellion led him to this country, and In Janu-
ary, 18C2, he was appointed colonel and assigned
to duty with General Fremont, by whom he was
placed la command of the advance
guard, and in June following took
part in the battles of Strasburg,
Harrisonburg, and Cross Keys. For his conduct
In the last engagement he was made a brigadier
general of volunteers, to date froaa October 14,
18C2, bmt no commission was ever issued to him.
He subsequently served under Generals SIgcl
and Milroy, but withdrew from the service be
fore the close of the war, his withdrawal being
based on alleged excesses authorised by Milroy.
By this time, however, his unreliability was
quite apparent, and he was followed into his re-
urement by no regrets by those who knew and
understood him.
Cluseret then turned his attention to journal
ism, and became editor of the Neus Nation, a
weekly paper published In New York, to advo
cate the claims of General Fremont to the Pre
sidency, in opposition to Mr. Lincoln. It is
said that Cluseret proved treacherous to
his employers, and being detected,
was summarily ejected. lie also wrote
for this paper a series of military criticisms
which showed him to be in active sympathy
with, if not in the pay of, the Confederates. He
subsequently entered into various other jour
nalistic enterprises, none of which were success
ful in getting before the public.
Disgusted finally with the United States, he
returned to France in 1863, and there advertised
himself extensively as "General" Chuseret, in a
series of newspaper communications an the re
organization of the French army. To escape
the persecutions which ensued, he was obliged
to leave France.
At the time of the fall of the Second Empire
he was engaged in New York in purchasing hay
for shipment to France, but at once
started for his native country, where
he soon came prominently before the public.
Early in September last he published in the
Marseillaise fierce assault upon the members
of the Provisional Government, for which he
barely escaped a mobbing, the vengeance of the
people being vented upon the paper in default of
his presence. He was obliged to leave
Paris finally, and In the latter
part of the month found himself
in Lyons, where he headed a Red Republican
demonstration, which was for some time quite
serious. Prompt arrests, however, suppressed
the movement, and Cluseret proceeded to Mar
seilles, where in October and November he was
the occasion of considerable trouble.
He next appeared before the public after the
outbreak of the Communist revolt in Paris, and
on March 22 installed himself at the Ministry
of War as chief director of the revolution. A
bombastic pronunciamento heralded his acces
sion to power, which terminated with the close
of April, when he was suspended by General
Rossel, and taken into custody on the charge of
treason to the Commune. An examination of
his case was commenced, but the collapse of the
Commune occurred before it was concluded.
Clauserct was one of those restless, volatile,
treacherous creatures whose sole redeeming
trait is - tteetwe of personal-courage. He
proved false, in turn, to every cause that he es
poused. Just previous ta his flight from France
before the recent war, it Is even said that he
was saved from the guillotine by the interces
sion of Minister Washburne, on his pretense of
a claim to American citizenship.
AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Man Who lias Escaped Two Ceiivlc-
tlona by Technicalities.
Frvm the Portland Oregonian.
It will be remembered that a man named
William B. Bird, who had been a soldier in the
United States army, was convicted some three
xnoaths ago by a court-martial at Vancouver of
a homicide perpetrated at citka, and sentenced
to fifteen years Imprisonment at hard labor at
Alcatraz. The findings and sentence of the
court were forwarded to Washhitrton, but were
disapproved by the Secretary of War, who re
turned them, on the ground that the military
had no right to try tbe man, and with
instructions that he should be handed
over to the civil authorities. Accordingly
he was brought back here on Sunday night on
tbe John L. Stephens and placed in tbe custody
of Chief Lappeus. It appears that at the time
of the homicide at Sitka he was no longer a
soldier, having been discharged from the service
some weeks before. On this ground the Secre
tary of War disapproved the action of the court
martial. Yesterday application was made for a
writ of habeas corpus to bring him before a civil
court here. Judge Upton was absent from tho
city, but the County Judge, Hamilton, was ap
plied to, wuo ordered tne writ to issue, making
it returnable at 11 o'clock. At that hour, Bird
was brought before the court, bat counsel were
not ready to proceed. Finally, application was
made to Judge ueady, ot the United Mates
Court, for another writ, which was granted, and
the prisoner ordered to be brought before him
on Wednesday morning.
It appears that Bird was cuargeu some time
before the homicide with another o lie use at
Siika. A court-martial was constituted by
General Davis, who also preferred charges
against him. By this court-martial he was
ordered to be dismissed from the service, ihe
papers were forwarded to Washington, but were
disapproved becanse an ollicer has not, "by
military law, a right both to prefer charges and
appoint the court-martial to try the offender.
It was tLerefore ordered by the department that
Bird should receive his pay and allowances
until he was regularly discharged. Thus tbe
findings of two courts-martial in his case have
been disapproved.
The man whom he killed at Sitka was Lieu
tenant Cowan, of the revenue service. There
was an altercation between Bird and a man
named Brady; the latter, it is asserted, struck
Bird on the bead with a billy and pushed him
out of a door, when Bird, drew a revolver, which
was accidentally discharged, the ball passing
through the door and killing Lieutenant Cowan,
Such is the statement related to us. Bird was
then arrested by tbe military, his citizen's dress
taken off and a soldier's dress put on him; he
was kept for a considerable time in custody at
Sitka, and was finallv brought to Vaucouver and
tried by court-martial. The case as it now
tta nds seems to be a knotty one. It seems to
be a question whether tho civil authorities have
jurisdiction, it having been decided that the
military have not. There Is. no civil government
in Alaska, and no provision has been made for
tbe administration of Justice In cases arising in
that Territory.

Proclamation of tho Count do Chambord.
Versailles, May 12. I send yon an Interest
ing document namely, a manifesto ot the Count
de Chambord, la the form of a letter to one of
his friends:
Like you, my dear friend, I witness with grief and
pain the lamentable fortunes of this hateful civil
war, which has so closely followed the disasters of
invasion. I have no need to tell you now completely
I sympathise with you In the sad reflections which
It suggests, and how fully I comprehend your an
guish. When the first shell from the enemy burst
over Paris I could only think of the grandeur of the
city in which I was born, I gave atterance to a cry
which has been hear. I. could do no more, and
now, as then, I am compelled to groan over the
horrors of this fratrlclcal contest. But be conll
dent. Tho hazards of this grievous enterprise
are not greater than the heroism of our troops. Yon
live, yen say, among men of parties anxious to
know what I wish, what I desire, and what I hope.
Be good enough to acqaalnt them with my most
cherished thoughts, aad with all tbe sentiments
which inspire me. Say that I have never deceived
mem, mat I never shall deceive them, and to at 1
entreat them In the name of all mankind, the wit
nesses or onr misfortunes, to forget our dissensions,
our prejudices, and our enmities. Caution theia
against the calumnies Spread fer the purpose of
creating a belief that, discouraged: by the greatness
of our misfortunes and despairing of the tuturr or
niycountry, I have renounced the happtnst of
saving It. It will be saved whenever it ceastts to
coDfound license with liberty. Above all, It will be
saved when It ceases to look for security from hap
hazard governments, which, after a lew years of
fancied security, leave it in difficulties trnly
deplorable. Beyond political agitations there Is a
France which suffers a France which cannot be
destroyed and which will not be destroyed; for
when I'rovldence subjects a nation to such
trials it Is because great duties are still in reserve
for It. Let us confess that the desertion of princi
ple Is the real cause of our disasters. A Christian
nation cannot with Impunity tear out the venerable
pages of Its history, break the chain ot Us tradi
tions, inscribe at the head of Its constitution a nega
tion of the rights of God, or banish every rellgloas
Idea from Its laws and Its public Instruction. Under
such circumstances disorder will be the rule. The
oscillations will be between anarchy and Cicsarlsrn,
two forms of government equally disgraceful
equally characteristic of the decadence of heathen
nations, and which will ever be the lot of nations
who are forgetful of their dnty. The country was
well aware of this when It elected men as enlight
ened as you as to the wants of the time, aad pene
trated with a sense of the principles waich are essen
tial to every society which seeks to maintain Itself lu
honor and liberty. Hence It Is. uy dear friend, not
withstanding any remains of prejudice, the good
sense of all France longs fotfaj monarchy. It sees
its way by the glimmerings of its conflagrations. It
sees that order Is requisite to justice and honesty,
and that Independently of hereditary monarchy It
has nothing to hope for. OppoBe with earnestness
the errors and prejudices which too rapialy find ad
mission Into the hearts of the noblent. It Is given
out that I claim absolute power. Would to (Jod that
such a power had not so readily been accorded to
those who In troublous times came forward as
saviors ! Had It ibeen otherwise, we should not to
day have been lamenting the misfortunes of the
country. You know that what I desire is to labor
for the regeneration of the country, to give scope to
all Its legitimate aspirations to preside at the head
of the whole house of France, over Its destinies, and
confldentlv snbmlt the acts of the Government to the
careful control of representatives freely elected. It
Is asserted that hereditary monarchy Is incompatible
with the eaualitv of all before the law. I maintalu
that I do not on this point ignore the lessons of ex
perience and the conditions 01 tne uie ot a nation.
llow could I advocate privileges for others I, who
only ask to be allowed to devote every moment of
my life to the security and happiness of France, and
to share her distress before sharing her honor? It Is
asserted that the Independence of the Papacy It is
dear to me, and mat 1 am determined to ontaiu em
caclous guarantees for it. That is true. The liberty
of the Church la the first condition ef spiritual
peace aud of order in tbe State. To protect the
lloly See ras ever the honorable duty of our coun
try, and the most Indisputable canse of Its greatness
among nations. Only in the period of Its greatest
miBrorcnues na i' ranee ananionea inis glorious
protectorate. Rest assured if 1 am called it will be
not on.y because I represent right, but because I
am order, reform because I am the essential basis
of that authority which is required to re
store that which has perished, and to govern
Jnstlv and according to law. with the view
of remedying the evils of the past aad of
paving the wsv for the future. I shall be
told that I hold the ancient sword of France
In my hand and in my breast the heart of a king
and a father which recognizes no party. I am of
no party, and do not desire to return or to relgu by
means of nartv. I have no Injury to avenge, no
enemy to exile, no fortune to retrieve, except that
ef France. It Is In my power to select from every
auarter the men who are anxious to associate them
selves with this grand undertaking. I only bring
back religion, concord, and peace. 1 desire to ex
ercise no dictatorship but that of clemency, because
in my hands, and in my hands alone, clemency la
still justice. Thus it is, my aear iriena, mar 1 ae-
spur not of myzcountry, ana mat 1 uo not sarins
from the magnitude of my task.
