Thcfollowing letter, from the special correspondent

PARIS, 21st Sept.-Evening.- have been two
depntatons at the Hotel de Vile to hold interviews
! with the Government in respect to an armistice
One consisted of about 100 officers of the National
Guard, chiefly from the Faubourgs st. Antoine and
Temple, accompanied by large crowd. Having
been admitted into the sale da trone they were
ceived by the Mayor of Paris and Jules Ferry. The
latts reply to the deputation s not very clear. lie
certainly said that shameful peace should be con-
cluded, but whether. as some assert. he answered
the officers that portion of French soil should be
oede is not equally certain. Shortly after this dep
utation had, left the other arrived. This was from
the Republican Clubs. It. is stated that FUrrys all
swer was considered satisfactory. ......
The walls have been placarded with proclama-
tion Of Trochu to the armed force He tells them
that some regiments behaved badly at Clamart !;
that their assertion that they had no cartridges is
false He recommends all citizens te arrest soldiers
who are drunk or who propagate false news He
threatens vigorous application of the articles of
war.
dined at one of the esaminets drinking -saloons
Of the Faubourg St Antoine. 1t was full OF the
"men of the people," From the tone of their obser
vations it may he esteemed certain that if Favre
concludes an amistice involving any cesson of ter
ritory there will be rising at The cafes are
| closed now at 10 p. m. About - walked home.
| One would have supposed ones self to be in some
| duh provincial town at in the morning. Every
thing was closed. No one, except here and there a
| citizen on his way home, OF patrol of the National
| Guard, was TO be seen.
Tavres departure was kept so close secret that it
| did not become known until yesterday. The ultras
in the Government were understood good author
ity to be opposed to it, but Favre supported by
| Picard Gambetta, and K6ratTy whO-as everything
is coInparative-represent the moderate section of

We are as bellicerent and CHEEKY to-day we
were despondent on Monday evening. When it was
heard that the nights at Meudon taken, we in-
medately entered phase of despair. 1t is over
now and we crow as Justify ever. Nothing OF i'm
portance appears TO have taken place at the front
Yesterday. The commanders of several forts send
word to Trochu that they have fred the Prussians
and that there have been small outpost.en
During the day the bridges of St. Cloud and Terri
billancourt are blown up.
/ attempted this morning to obtain pass rom
Trochu. Announcing myself as journalist, pene-
trated with some difficulty into a room in which
several of his staff seated but there my progress
was stopped and was told that aides -de-camp had
been fired upon in attempting to go outside and that
Trochu himself had been arrested, and been within
an inch of being shot because he had the lmpudence
TO say that he was Governor of Paris. Thence went
to make a few calls on my friends, aud found every
one engaged in measuring the distance from the
N.n,Y1nY hone DV,a
friend found seated in a cellar that was covered
with mattresses to make it bomb-prOof. He
emerged from his subte1Tanean place of security to
talk to me- ordered his servant to pile on few more
mattresses and then retreated again. Anything so
dull as existence here il is difficult to imagine Few
regiments are seen during the day marching
through the Streets they principally either ON or
outside of the ramparts From s to "a. m. there Is
a military movement, as regiments then come and
90 on and off duty in the court yard of the Louvre.
Several regiments of Garde Mobile are kept under
arms all night ready to march to any point that may
be seriously attacked.
A considerable number of troops went at an early
hour this morning in the direction OF ST. Cloud AT
D. IN. the cannonade became audible l:3O-t If be-
coming every moment louder. People say that Mont
VaeTien has been attacked. 230-Still heavy hring
I cannot obtain assurance that it comes from Mont
Valerien.
Favre has come back. It is said that the Prussans
will treat only in Paris. have just seen an Ameri-
can who tried to pass with letters from Mr.. Nathan
to Gen. Sheridan; he penetrated within the Prusslan
lines but could not reach headquarters. In return
ing he was nearly murdered by the Garde Mobile;
passed the night in cell in which drunkards were
confined. and has just been let ont, as his papers
proved to be all correct.
