No Arms for the French Soldiers


LONDON, Nov. "A deputation of 2000 per-
sons called upon Gambetta yesterday to petition
for the organization of the scattered forces now
operating independently in various departments
Gambetta answered that the salvation of the
people was in their own hands. The Govern
ment could not even supply them with arms.

Dijon to the incompetency of Garibaldi's Sar-

represent the ardor of the people as undated,
and no doubts are anywhere expressed of the
ability to hold out for weeks, and perhaps
months Still the supply of fresh meat is said
to be sufficient to last until December 15, while
the salted provisions will supply the city for

stores are not judiciously distributed.

Special to MesSrs. d c. Wharton Smith d. Co.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-Bazaine's farewell to his
| army was as follows:-"S of France: We
have been conquered by famlne-compeled by
our necessities to submit to the destinies of war
and constitute ourselves prisoners. Any attempt
to break through the enemys lines would only
result in disaster and unavailing loss of life
Against these dire extremities it would be use
less to contend. Our only recourse is in yield
! ing to the overwhelming force of the enemy
Soldiers of France, comrades, leave you will
broken heart. Your commander,
"BAZAINE."
