afoat here to the effect that France and Prus-
STA have come to an arrangement by which
fresh negotiations for an armstice have been
resumed. This action is ascribed to the ac-
ton of England, who, through her ambassa-
dor, Lord Ly ons, and with the sanction of the
French Provisional Government, renewettthc
proposal for cessation of hostilities.
Odo Russell only arrived at Versailles on
Sunday night, hence the story of Bismarck s
denial of understanding with Russia
about the Black Sea is unfounded. Russells
first official interview with Bismark has been

The Worlds correspondent sends from the
German headquarters on the 18th, the fol-
lowing interesting resume of the position and
apparent intention of the French armies OPP

with keratry coming from the northeast.
They will then soon move on Paris with COM
bined armies, which will be under the COM
mand of Gambetta and De Paladines. Bour-
haki is leaving behind him large reserves,
and is moving forward with 60, 900 perfectly
armed and trained troops. keratry has
90, 900, and when these armies effect a juno
ton, the number of troops will not be less
than $685. 900. besides their reserves and
100, 900 of the army of the Loire, entrenched
at Orleans and holding line extending north

drawn them considerably south, where he
confronts them with an entrenched army
equal in numbers, while with the main body
of 2G5 900 men. lac moves on Versailles from
the west.
A sortie from Paris combined with an at
tack in the rear of Versailles is daily ex-
pected.
The Parisians yesterday attempted to erect
bridges over Seine near Sevres, to be used in
case of a sortie, but have not yet succeeded.
Won Moltke SEEING to think the conse-
quences of sortie will be extremely serious
The Duke of Mecklenburg has asked for
further instructions, saying he cannot hold
his position in the face of a greater strength
of the army of the Loire. Won Moltke says
no troops can possibly be spared from the
army around Paris, and the Duke must fall
back until he meets the army of Frederick
Charles.
The French troops occupying Nantes, Sur,
Seine, Dreux and Verdun. are not portions
of the army of the Loire, but detachments of
Bourbakis army of the north.
The Prussian despatch announcing actions
on the 18th at Chateau Dun and Chateau
Neuf is erroneous. Only one action was
fought that day at Chateau Dun, where Sc
we're engagement took place resulting at first
in a repulse of the French and Prussian
| cavrlry, which was subsequently checked by
the arrival Of the 22d division.

cry indication that Won Moltke, anticipating a
| supreme effort by Trochu and fearing the
ability of the Germans to successfully resist a
sortie in force, has ordered the abandonment
| of his former plans of expedition in the west
and southwest of France. and the concentra
ton of all the forces in the immediate vicinity
| of Paris.
