The Kings headquarters were estab~
lished here yesterday, and are to remain
till the 9th, to give all the troops time to
concentrate, including what can be spared
/ from Metz. Seven North German corps,
besides two Bavarian and the Wurtemisrg
corps, are on the road unhindered. Accord
ing to the official report, six full cavalry
/ divisions will also be here. The main force
arc expected to reach Paris on the 18th or
/ 18th. When the regiments now coming
/ forward have arrived, and the reserves
/ also join their regiments, the German
army will certainly reach, and probably ex-
coed. 100000.

the Emperor, but do 10! favor the rcpub-

Informed that the Emperor and McMA-
| hons army were prisoners, and when the
! Emperor advised the surrender Of Metz,
! but declared in towering passion, that he
would not respect Napocon's wishes, and
would shoot any French officer advising
surrender
1t is believed that Russia and Austria
have rejected all overtures, and will not
stir for the republic of France. The Jour
nal dc St. Petersburg, semi official, tells
the French, substantially, that they had
better yield Alsace, and so much of Lor>
raine as Germany needs.
The recognition of the French Republ 10
by America was to be expected. The
Berlin Foreign Office thinks the extreme
warmth of America declaration implies o
partial withdraw of sympathy from Prus-
sia, following SO closely after Secretary
Fish S refusal to protest against the cx-
puiaion OF the Germans from France.

ting from Carsruhe, the Sh says: ''Tho

heavier guns being placed in the nearest
parallels.
