rRocHU's ADDRESS.
Trochu publishes In the journal
OficieI a long address, dated the
18th inst. to the citizens, National
Guards, the army and the Mobile
Guards. He says: Europe is aston
ished at the spectacle Paris affords;
the enemy are astonished st having
been held two months before Paris.
Paris was ready to yield to European
feeling, TO abandon her implaeable
resolve, and 20 disorganize France,
had an armistiee been accepted on the
French terms. The fatal 31st of Do
toher compromised the situation, re-
storing Prussian hopes and breaking
off negotiations. Since then the en-
emy strives TO sow divisions amongst
us by introducing false intelligence
through their Outposts.
TrochE cites to the efforts made for
defense. and thinks that never in his
tory did an invaded people, or be-
sieged city, make such vigorous re =
eistance. This he says 10 enlighten
those who believe it possible to do
more than has been done, or TO take
the offensive, with the masses insult
fciently organized and inadequately
armed. We have done what we
could, but not what we would. The
future, however, demands . still
greater effors, for time presses. IL
would not be worthy of France, if the
world could not understand that the
people and army Of Paris, after the
energetic preparations for sacrifice.
should not go further than they have
already, and suffer and fight until
suffering and fighting are no longer
possible. Ii triumphant, we deserve
we'll Of our country. IF we fall. We
leave the Prussians to replace the frsl
Empire.
