SCARCITY AROUND PARIS.
There is great scarcity of meat in the district
th°und Paris. The Germans have eaten up every-
h ng in the way of flesh. All the tame rabbits

ers have been eaten—much to the detriment of
te soldiers' digestive organs, and even dogs.

leaves after a long search. '1 ho Germans must
either widely extend the scope of their raids, or
depend upon supplies from Germany.

OCTOBER 11.
His proclamation

Della Marmora has arrived.
says :

" Foreign nations, well understanding that an
incomplete Italian kingdom offered more danger than
aid to Juropean peace and equilibrium, will form
an equitable judgment of the event. It is
the firm intention of the !Royal Government
that guarantees should be established to
render manifest to the Catholic world its loyal
and firm intention that the Supreme Pontiff shall
exercise, with the dignity of a Sovereign and full
efficacious liberty, all the rights and offices of the
Head of the Church. Great would be the responsi-
bility of those who, refusing all conciliation, would
open an abyss between Catholic and national

reelings."
Cadorna returns to Florence, Massi to Palermo.
The Giunta will continue to act.

WAR WITH CHINA,
