A correspondent of the. World writing
from Versailles on the eth, gives the
following comprehensive review of the
present situation and prospects of both
beljgerentS at Puris: = e e1
General Trochu has 100000 men fit
for offensive service in the field. Paris
is absolutely impregnable to attack and
can be conquered only by starvation.
There is an abundance of food in Paris
sufficient to last two months longer.
There are six armies outside of Paris
numbering $4,000 drilled and well
armed men in the field, besides the nu-
merous detachments Of Francs-Tireurs.
The irregular troops are: Army Of the
Loire, General Palidene, 100000 men
army of the West, General Keratry,
$4,000 men; army of the North, Gen
eral Bourbaki, 5000 men; army Of
the Centre, General Tripant, $4,000
men; army of the Rhone, General
Michel, 10000 men, and army Of the
Vosges, General Cambriels, Al, 900 men.
All these are well supplied with every
thing save artillery, which deficiency is
rapidly being remedied. In no quarter
is there any deficiency in provisions,
ammunition, clothing or horses.
The army besieging Paris continues
to suffer greatly from sickness which
increases. A recent morning report of
the condition Of the army showed an
average of 300 men on the sick list in
each battalion with nominal strength
of 1000 men. No more reinforcements
can arrive from Germany. The last re-
cruits, nearly all boys under 10, are on
their way. The former reports concern
ing the disposition of the army OF Prince
Frederick Charles were incorrect, His
10th corps has gone to Paris, the Sth to
Thionville. the Tth remains at Metz,
the lst is at Lille, the Sd at Troyes and
the Cd and 9th are on their way to
Lyons.
