The Commune has once more changed its Minister at War.
General Cluseret was accused of tardiness in succouring Fort Issy, —which is probably false ; of aspiring to a Dictatorship,—which is probably true ; and of arranging to receive a sum of money from M. Thiers, which in France and America is the stock accu- .sation against everybody. He is still under arrest, and has been succeeded by General Rossel, a captain of Engineers in the regular army, selected by Gambetta for high command. He is said to be an energetic, domineering man, who will fight to the last, and he has certainly recovered hey. The most noteworthy point in the change, however, is the ease and at the same time the severity with which the Commune maintains its ascendancy over its military chiefs.
