Letters and HES OF papers from Paris 10
November 4, give the particulars OF the
attempt to overthrow the government on
the morning of the thirty-fir OF October.
The people of Belleville and Villette met In
xroups and discussed the news. and sentl-
ment of distrl,st and suspicion was every
where expressed. The government had
stigmatized the Combat for announcing ia,
zaine's negotiations for the surrender OF
Metz. Al. Felix Pyat had boldly replied
that he had received the news from FlOu-
rena. who had divulged it for the public
good. and that Flourens had it from Roche
fort. who know the facts as a member ofthe
government OF national defense.
When the truth was at length admitted
by the government, and the actual sur
render Of Metz by Bazaine was placaried
ON the walls. together with the announce
Inent that M. Theirs had come to arrange
for an armistice, the reaction was tremen-
dous. Flourens called his chiefs of battal-
ions together, and then it was agreed that
they should go to the Hotel De Vile,
FlOureus' own battalion accompanying him.
The crowd before the Hotel De Vile cried
4'No armistice,' resistance to death,
s'down with THEIRS" "down with the rene
gade." General Trochu came forward and
made speech, declaring that Paris was
impregnable, but was received with cries of
Down with Trochu." When the new gov
eminent was formed it issued prOclaIna-
tion, the first paragraph of which was. The
armistice is rejected
From first to last fear that the war was
about to terminate by a compromise with
. Prussia aroused a sentiment upon which the
aeitators Of the Commune worked. One let
ter says: '.What the FlOurens party might
have done had the powers they attempted
. nsurp devOlved upon them by q popular
vote, may be judged of by what they really
began to do during the few hours they held
eminent. They revoked all Of them, to be-
gin with; then proceeded to displace all the
Mayors of Paris opposed to themselves, and
to appoint others, who forthwith commenced
their functions. One of the new function
aries of the Committee of Public Safety, NJ
Nilliefe, presented himself ut the Ministry
of Finance and demanded the immediate
transfer of fifteen millions OF government
securities. He was most politely received,
invited BY N. Picard to walk into
an inner room. where he was left on the
wrong side of the door, with the key turned
upon him. While Fl0urens, Blanqui & Co.
were writing and issuing DEGREES, NJ. Picard
w0adOpting the most energetic measures
to counteract the sedition. By his orders
the Place de fH0tel de Vile was infested
by the Mobiles, and the barricades which
had been constructed in its neighbOrhOod
were destroyed. There is subterranean
passage from the great barracks into the
hotel, and through this strong force was
introduced, which came suddenly upon the
sCommunc and intimated that their game
was played out. They at once gave up,
and, # the report ia to be trusted, made alb
,iect prayers to be spared. Pity was taken
upon them, and they were escorted to the
doors unhurt. The. question of peace nat
urally absorbs much attention. l believe
everybody desires it most urgently, but
only upon honorable terms-that is, with
ont q sacrafice of territory.
Upon this count there will be no yielding.
The assurance brought by M. Theirs that
the neutral powers are really moving seri-
Ously with q view to devise a mode of
arranging matters, Of which the proposed
axmistice is only first step, seems to crafty
everybody. That the republican form Of
government will be voted, no one appears
to doubt. Our stock Of live food is known
to be smaller than was asserted, and we
have winter coming upon US. 1t is now
very cold, and wood and coal are scarce
consequently dear. Up to the present mo-
ment we are experiencing privatiOns, but
have not suffered much"
Another letter says: To-day, October
~ the ration of fresh meat has been consid-
4rab1y reduced, each person receiving only
about One-haf pound for two days. This is
the ration Of beet, mutton or pork only.
Horse meat and assoc can still be bought
at will. Donkey steaks command very
high price, and the best part of the horse
arc 60 dear that the authorities will soon
have to ration the poor with that meat.
It Is evident that the consumption OF horse
meat has greatly increased within a week,
and one sees long trains before the stalls
where horse meat is sold, as one formerly
saw them before the other shops. Thus far
there has been no lack in necessary vege-
tables, although the price has been raised
little. Potatoes are still abundant, and to-
day the very finest Of cauliaowers have been
06erod. 1t seems that in the strip of land
covered by the fire of the forts, there still
remains large quantity of vegetables I'M
gathered. Last week the government sent
o1&A INV hundred boys guarded by the SOL
1ieD 70 dig POTATOES, and forty cart loads
Weto brought in. Now the Minister of the
Interior issues decree organizing body of
citisens for, the purpose of gathering the
vegetables in the envir0ns of Paris"
a letter from Frankfort On-the- Main says
the number of unwounded French prison
err in Germany after the fall of LaOn, TOul
and 6trasburg, and not including Metz, is
3597 oficers and l23700 men. The great
question was at first where to put them.
n most cases they have been placed in the
fortresses, or in camps close by, and in un-
fortiled cities. The German soldiers have
been quartered upon the citizens, and the
prisoners placed in barracks. The number
of prisoners who have volunteered. to do
the work has greatly increased of late.
Near Magdeburg about three thousand are
engaged upon the Elbe embankment. In
Hanover about four thousand are engaged
ON the canal Improvement. The working
prisoners get twelve cents per day and
food. At Stettin the prisoners have been
allowed to hire themselves out to farmers
in the neighborhoOd. 1t is foNnd that the
health OF the men is vastly improved by
allowing them to work.
