The news is positive, but the details have not yet reached us.

PARIS, MARCH 10.—The enemy begin to stew some fears since they have seen their projects so speedily baffled. The Ihussians in particular are afraid lest every one should take up arms, as was done in Prussia ,r 3 months ago; but what frightens them Most is, that the capital gives to the nation a formidable example. - Marshal Blu cher himself said, " we must see what Paris Will clo ; the pesants begin to rise in an alarming man ner. This flame may spread to Paris itself. Let the pebple fairly resolve to defend themselves.in that cursed city, and I consider our cause as lost." These were the Marshal's own words. At Bray the Emperor of Russia lodged in the house of a person now in Paris. He asked tot maps of the country and the public papers. On reading the details of the excesses committed by the enerny's troops, he seemed much affected, and said the troops complained d'f are hordes that act jitst in the same manner even, in their own coon try ; they regard plunder as their glory, and to check them 'would be depriving :he army of their Servicyi. The Prince of - Hohenloe, who was at Sens, Spoke of time total inefficiency.of 4iscipline in the Russian and, Prussian armies. Every one said he seeks to stcure his plunder, and if this continues our army mill soon resemble a caravan. There rei4ns a great misunderstanding bet ween the troops of the different nations.

In the mean while the division Tubers got possession of La Terre, where it found 16 picees.of cannon. Four hutulyed of the national guards, who were to-dc fend the place, obtained permission to return home. This operation is important, inasmuch as it facilitates the passage of the Oise, covering t4ie right wing of the army, and favours the obt a i n i ng of provisions. The armies of Silesia ana-Winzin gerocie effected their junction on the Scl, at Sois sons, with the corps of Bulow ; and Field-Mar ,steal Blucher, who took the command of these united armies, is now in a condition to pursue with energy offensive operations.
