ABOUT TO SURRENDER.
VERSAILLES via BERLIN Oct. &c. 1870.
The reports of French successes before Paris are
untrue. They are invented for the purpose OF re-
hndlng the courage of the people. The Prussians
hold exactly the positions they occupied on the
18th Of September. Two small skrmishes between
ontposts on Thursday and Friday are the only en-
counters that have occurred during the week.
Sissons, after an obstinate defense of four days,
has capitulated to the German forces.
A diary. written by Partisan, which has fallen
into German hands, admits that Paris Is proyisoned
for only two months longer, and the only hope OF
the besieged is to act on the offensive, and by
pitched battle to dislodge the besiegers.
It's rurnored that Gen. Boyer has been sent by
Marshal Bazaine to fhe Royal Headquarters at Yer
sailes to treat for the surrender of Metz.
Gen Fleury, after q visit to Napoleon at Welhelms-
b0he, has gone to ST. Petersburg.
