Political managing director: Léonce Détroyat, and Jehan Valter, editorial secretary. News of the day: The Pope in Corsica; Parliamentary echoes; Citizen Félix Pyat disappeared; Latest news: the Commune no longer allows entry into Paris; the Commune will put Prince Napoleon's properties up for sale; Savage warfare; The day of May 12th: rain of shells on Passy; Letter from the Count de Chambord; the Commune's expenses; General news; Exhaustive list of members of the Paris Commune; On recruitment, organization and instruction of the French army (continued). Supplement: Analytical report of the May 11th session of the National Assembly: on the agenda, the bill to declare inalienable the public or private properties seized or removed from Paris since March 18, 1871; Journal de Versailles; Foreign news. Good condition. In addition to existing titles, more than 70 newspapers were created during the 70 days of the Commune. But press freedom was restricted from April 18th, and on May 18th the Committee of Public Safety banned newspapers favorable to the Thiers government. The most influential newspapers then were 'Le Cri du Peuple' by Jules Vallès, 'Le Mot d'ordre' by Henri Rochefort, 'L'Affranchi' by Paschal Grousset, 'Le Père Duchesne' by Versmersch, 'La Sociale' with Madame André Léo, 'Le vengeur' by Félix Pyat, 'La Commune'. It was especially in May that the struggle against the pro-Versailles press gained vigor: thus, between May 5th and 18th, 21 newspapers were suppressed. It is quite evident that the Parisian pro-Commune press could not be distributed in the provinces due to the vigilance of the Thiers government.
