BORDEAUX, January 10.

The Minister of the Interior has received an ad-
dress, dated "Strasburg, Dec. 12," from the French
Government employes in Alsace, protesting against
the Prussian assumption that they were disposed to
retain appointments under- German rule. The em-
ployes declare they will accept no kind of Prussian
service, either provisional or definitive.

The Siecle publishes a letter, without date, from
Louis Blanc to Victor Hugo. Louis Blanc argues
that the capitulation of Paris would in no way
terminate the war, as France would still fight on.
The capitulation of Paris, therefore, would only
terribly increase the material suffering there.
It is to be supposed the Prussians would not
allow egress from the city; the Parisians would
then be even closer prisoners than before, and
famine would become inevitable. The object of the
armies operating in France must be to prevent the
enemy from receiving supplies. "Hence," Louis
Blanc concludes, " Paris cannot choose. There is
but one way—counselled by wisdom, commanded by
necessity. Paris cannot lag behind ; her present in-
action cannot continue ; and the sole issue lies in a
vigorous offensive ably led."
