OUT OF PARIS.
Especial to N. Y. Herald ]-Among the
arrivals in this city from Paris on the 26th ult
are Lucius M. Sargent of Boston, and Mr.
| Pendleton, nephew of Geo. H. Pendleton, of
Ohio. Seventy thousand Prussians IRON be-

peace will follow unless the "reds" get control.
N. THEIRS MISSION.
A special correspondent at Metz writes from
| Versailles on the Both of October that every
| thing is being done to facilitate M. Theirs
| mission. The readiness of the Prussians to re-
| sumo negotiations is apparently due TO the
impression that Paris is better provisioued
than was supposed. Won Kendall Bismarck s
| Chancellor, told me to-day he thought we will
be here in the spring. 1t is pretty certain
| Paris has four months provisions, aud active
measures are being taken to husband them.
| We have been asked to allow the French
women and children to leave Paris before the
bombardment, but it is impossible to consent.
| Two hundred and thirty siege guns are in park
south of Paris. Competent officers express a
very uufavorable opinion of the siege train as
| whole.
AMERICAN ARMS
|
on the I'd: Minister Bancroft visited the For
eign Office to-day to say that he cannot see
what right Lord Granville has to express a
hope that Prussia will not he offended at the
United States allowing the export of arms to
France. Mr.. Bancroft denies that Prussia has
any ground for complaint.
SOMETHING STARTLING COMING.
The same correspondent, writing Oct 31st
| says Europe will find herself taken aback
within week at the new triumph Bismarck S
| genius has achieved in quite another direction
than that looked for. Be prepared for a big
thing close at hand; some Bonapartst scheme
which the Bismarck party has hidden beneath
the armistice negotiations. The cessation oil
hostilities during twenty five days gives such a
balance of military advantages to France that
Bismarck could not have granted such terms
without secret reasons.
The Pail Mall Gazette says all information
received confirms the conclusion of on arms.
tce and the acceptance of its terms, including
permission that supplies of food shall enter
Paris on certain conditions.
La Situation says it has private despatch
to the same effect. The journal says person
carrying night bag of slender contents pre-
sented himself to-day at the French Consulate
i demanding OF Fleurs to vacate his office in his
favor as the representative of the provisional
government. Fleurs refused. saying that the
English government had not yet recognized
the would be French republic.
Three cattle merchants who left Paris on the
29th, hoping to pass the Prussian lines anG
buy cattle in unoccupied districts, ready tt
; bring to the city when an armistice should bt

stated that the stock If meat in Paris would
last twelve days at an allowance of twenty
ounces per week to each inhabtant.
