THE NAPOLEON DYNASTY.

BERLIN, January 30.
It is stated on good authority that the ma-
jority of the French officers now captive in
Germany are iu favour of the re-establishment of
the Napoleon dynasty, which they believe will
be the certain sequence of the reign of anarchy
in France. The fact that the country flourished
to such an extraordinary degree for nineteen
years under Napoleon cannot bnt tell greatly in
his favour should his claims come into competition
with those of the House of Orleans.

The Treaty uniting Bavaria to the German Empire
was signed yesterday morning.

The demonstrations of joy at the capitulation of
Paris are even louder in the provinces that in the
capital of Germany.—Telegraph Telegram.

The following telegrams come through Reuter's
agency :

THE SURRENDER

RECEPTION OF THE NEWS AT BORDEAUX

AND LILLE.
IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS, VERSAILLES,
January 30.
The distress in Paris is very groat.
The French having in the course of the war in-
terrupted and blown up most of the railways, the
transport of provisions from a distance is very diffi-
cult.

The most urgent wants of the city are for the
present supplied by the German army from its own
stores.

BORDEAUX, January 29 (1 p.m.)
The Paris despatch from Jules Favre, announcing
the conclusion of an Armistice, is publicly posted
here, and causes great consternation and grief. Large
groups are collected, and some demonstrations have
already been made.

Several battalions of the National Guard are op-
posed to peace. Public meetings are now being
held, and it is expeoted that views will be expressed
by the speakers in faVour of resistance. M. Picard
and M. Simon are named as the members of the
Government, of whom one is coming to Bordeaux ;
it will probably be M. Picard.
Evening.
A. large political assembly was held this afternoon
in the Great Theatre, when a unanimous protest
against the armistice was passed, and a resolution
was voted demanding—firstly, the maintenance of
power in the hands of Gambetta ; secondly, war
outrance ; and, thirdly, the assembling at Bordeaux
of a committee the members of which should be
elected by Republican associations in the principal
towns of France.

A. deputation conveyed the resolution to M.
Gambetta.
Afterwards a demonstration wee made before the
Prefecture in honour of Gambetta. Members of the
deputation addressed the crowd, saying that M.
Gambetta could not appear, because he was indis-
posed physically, but much more so morally. He
Will take time to come to a decision before speaking
in public. Besides, it was necessary for him to re-
cruit his powers, in order to be able to devote hith-
self wholly to the safety of the Republic. The crowd
replied by cries of " Vive Gambetta ! " " Vive la
R6publique I" Although great excitement prevailed,
there were no disturbances, and material order was
Preserved.

January 30.
A despatch received from M. Mignin at Paris,
dated the 27th instant, urges the Delegate Minister
of Commerce at Bordeaux immediately to make ar-
rangements at the different ports for cargoes of
alimentary cereals being forwarded to Paris to re-
victual the city. He also urges above everything
that wheat and flour should be sent.
LILLE, January 30.
The impression caused here by the news of the
Armistice is one of complete stupor. It was gene-
rally believed that Paris had sufficient provisions
for another month, and people were impatiently
expecting a Sortie on a large scale. The news
of the Capitulation instead of a great battle,
though evidently creating satisfaction on account
of the cessation of bloodshed, is also the cause of
much irritation at the manner in which the public
has been deceived. Public opinion is very undecided
at present, as the probable bases of peace are un-
known, and the ultimate feeling will depend upon the
conditions of the treaty. if the German demands
are too exacting, a lasting hatred against Germany
1:111 ensue, but if honourable conditions are offered,
the resentment of the people in the North of France
'will probably soon disappear.
It is rumoured that the Prussians have invested
Abbeville, notwithstanding the Armistice.
Communication with Paris is not yet restored.
BRUSSELS, January 30.

inistice has been rather favourably received, and

STATE OF THE CAPITAL.
thPreal Veraailles, by Lombard telegram, we have
e followiug :—The excitement in Pane produced

by the capitulation of the forts is abating, and tran-
quility prevails in all districts except Belleville. The
garrison of the forts have been quartered partly in the
barracks and partly in different public buildings in
the city. A division of the regular army fully armed,
anti the Sedentary National Guard are preserving
order. Nearly all the inhabitants who immigra,ted
from the left bank of the river have returned to
their domiciles. Provisions from the outside are
pouring in.
