landed at Roye in the department of the somme
where they were received warmly by the people on
account OF their being Americans, They lost sight
Of the Gambetta balloon at about o'clock on Fri
day. 1t landed at Mont Didien and they were joined
by NJ. Gambetta at Amicns, whence they continued
their journey by special train with him to Toms
Along the route NJ. .Gambetta was enthusiastically
welcomed by the people The balloons were to have
left Paris two days sooner, but were prevented by
the lack of wind.
The voyage of NJ. Gambetta from Paris is full of
adventure The balloon came down to the ground
just outside of the walls of the city threw out bal
last, and rose, passing slowly over the Prussian lines
came down again near Creil saw the Prussians, and
were forced to throw out ballast, travelling sacks
and shawls rose slowly again, a shot just grazing
the hair Of Gambetta Near Mont Didier the balloon
came down among trees, and was torn. NJ. Gambetta
and party got a conveyance, and went to Amiens
Just the other side of the woods in which they landed
were the Prussians.
Messrs. May and Reynolds report that the Parisians
was quiet and orderly. The voyagers add that it is
impossible for the Prussians to capture Paris except
through famine. The appearance of Paris is much
as usual The shops opened daily but are closed
earlier than before the siege, as are also the
cafes The Garde National are constantly drilling,
and are full of desire to fight to the last.
Louis Blanc and many other persons of distinction
were present when NJ. Gambetta took his leave. The
Americans in Paris also bado farewell TO Messrs.
May and Reynolds. Mr.. Washburne was in good
health. Their balloon was private property, and
was conducted by NJ. De Revilliod q French marine
officer, whose coolness and skill is much landed.
There were pigeons in the balloon, which have been
let loose to return to Paris.
The Americans by balloon brought Paris journals
to October T. which notice the intended departure
on that day of the two balloons.
"Larrite" calls the attention of the Government
TO the fact that American General asserted to be
in Paris, to defeat the Prussians and cut off
their supplies and says that such General as Shcr
dan, with 10000 cavalry, could easily accomplish
this An official military report of the 9th of OctO
ber shows that all is quiet around Paris save toward
the Park St. Cloud, where the cannons Of Mont
Valerien have caused the Prussans considerable loss
Near st. Denis, Gen. Bellemare has just caused the
occupation, in sufficient force Of semi-circular in
trenched camp rendering that side of the city i'm
pregnable.
The diplomats still remaining in Paris met at the
Papal Nuncio's to examine the condition they are
placed in by the refusal OF Count Bismarck to per-
init them TO send out cOuTeTs unless their dispatches
are opened, to which the diplomats unanimously re-
fuse to accede This is to be sgnifed to Count Biz
marck and if he persist the diplomats will be forced
to suspend all communication with their respective
Governments
The Journal O6ciel publishes the answers of all
the projects to the circular issued by the Minister OF
the Interior at the date of the declaration of war
These dispatches prove contrary TO the assertions
made at the time, that the sentiment of the people
was vastly in favor of peace.
More pamphlets containing imperial correspond
ence have been published. Some of it is of very
scandalous nature.
On the 5th of October there was much cannonad-
ing around Paris The enemy, under the cover of a
thick fog, endeavored to make movements but were
defeated by the sharp watch kept by the forts The
enemy were dislodged from Bengival and other VII
lagos by shells. On the other side of the city skir-
mshes took place. but no engagement. The Pays
SAYS there still many spies in Paris who manage
to convey information TO the enemy.
The GauIois says that in nearly all parts of Paris
good water is obtained by sinking wells, as is
proved by experiments just made. Economical
measures are now closely studied in Paris. There
are fewer gas lamps in streets and shops.
Extreme care is taken not to waste food. The poor
classes receive by order Of the authorities for two
sous large bowl of soup and piece of bread.
When it is evident the parties very poor, they
are fed gratis. Much horse flesh is eaten.
The Figaro complains that while Paris is undergo
ing siege, the inhabitants of Versailles treat the
Prussians overcourteOusy, and says surely this is
not true. The ladies' who flock TO hear the Prussian
bands play must be women Of ill-repute.
The mitrailleuses now made are not such as were
first used of whose construction the Emperor has
the secret They now make the Montigny. Francs
tireurs have been organized in Paris.
