to You the hopes of the Parisians and

-Four hundred thousand of tho Ma

100000 Mobile and 60,000 regulars are
assembled. The f0undries are casting
cannon; the women make millions OF
cartridges daily. Each battalion oil

sorties from the forts, manned by
marines, and are supplied with artil:
lery OF the greatest excellence, and
served by gunners the finest in the
world. Hitherto their fire has kept
the enemy from erecting the smallest
work. The encientc of the fourth had
only 500 cannon; now it has 1880,
with 400 rounds for each. Every de-
tense has its men at their post. The
Nationals drill continually. Behind
the enciente is the third line of de-
tense, barrieades, which are adapted
to the genius Of the Parisians. This
has all been achieved calmly and or
DERBY amid general patriotism. The
impregnability of Paris is no Illusion.

starvation which the Prussians have
