FOREIGN NEWS VIA ENGLAND.
LONDON, Dec. 10.-The Pail Mall Ga
zcttc, in an ably-written leader, argues
against the declaration Of Paris Of 1856, be-
cause it may transfer the carrying trade
almost entirely to the United States.
Three Russian vessels are being built,
and nearly completed, at Saunders's ship
yard on the Thames. The statement is that
they are to be mercantile, and not naval
ships.
II is now considered impossible for Paris
to receive assistance from the provinces.
With the failure and retreat Of the army of
the Loire, all hopes in that direction are
lost. / he Germans look upon the capitula-
ton of that city as question of time. and
it Is announced that King William only
awaits that event to return to Berlin. The
garrison of Belfort continues q vigorous
defence. and their patriotism excites uni
Yersal admiration.
FRANCE.
BORDEAUX, Dec. 10.-The people Of this
city are very patriotic, and are sending
large numbers Of recruits to the front, and
eqnipping and drilling more.
Gambetta. In Geographic circular from
the headquarters Of Gen. Chanzy to the
Projects Of the Departments, says that
Chanzy continues to resist all the attacks
Of Prince Frederick Charles and is taking
many prisoners. From this you may judge
how fillse are the German dispatches, which
state that the army Of the Loire Is crushed.
Gen. Chanzy. with half the number of that
army, successfully resists German advances.
