A Communistic Adventures
A. Communist insurgent, who had
some reason for thinking that he had
nothing to fear from the legal authorities
of his country, has just been tried,
writes the Pane correspondent of the
London Timm, before a court-martial
sitting in Paris, presided over by Colonel
Boisdenemetz. Information obtained a
montlaago led to a warrant being issued
for his rearrest. He was formerly a dra-
per at Elbeuf, and underwent fear years
imprisonment for fraudulent bankruptcy.
To escape a second prosecution, he fled
to New York, whence he had letterf3
sent to his relations announcing his sui-
cide. They sent over money for the ex-,
pense of the funeral, which Valliant
pocketed, and a mass was celebrated for
the repose of his soul. Returning to
France, he served duriog the first siege
of Paris with the rank of Captain in a
Free Corps; 'When the Commune was
established, he was intrusted with. the
organization of a battalion. He was
soon appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the
Fourth Regiment, and sent into the
thick of the fighting to the Chateau de
la, Muette, under the orders of Dom-
browski, who admitted him to his 'Coun-
cil of War. He was afterward appoint-.
ed, with the rank of Colonel, comman-
der of the forces at Asnieres. He was
made, as .1 hear, a prisoner on the 24th
of May, but succeeded in misleading his
Judges, and on. beiing, again taken -into
custody he renewed the atterapt by al-
tering his handwriting and.. denying the
evidence, which, however, was so con-
clusive that after some hesitation. he,
too, admitted the accuracy of the charges
brought against him. glw -inquiry into
his complicity in the insurrection was
nearly at an end. when his wife address-
ed. a letter to the Advocate -Genet al,

age to take to General Vinoy on the 17th
