Before Paris-NO Bombardment
Possible before next Spring.
LONDON, Nov. ga correspondent of
the Oberver, writing from Versai les on
on the 18th, gives gloomy picture of
the German situation. 1t seems that no
bombardment Of Paris ia possible before
next spring, as the heavy guns have not
bseu brought up, owing to the muddy
roads. The Germans are constructing
entertainments in their rear to guard
against attack from the French.
The hospitals, too, are said to be in
had condition and filled with new victims.
The prevalent disases are pneumonia and
The French continue with incessant ac-
tiyity throwing up new works and arm
ing them with guns, whereof they seem to
have an ineXhaustible supply. They are
digging rifle pits, and also apparently con.
structing mines. An ominous silence
has prevailed for some days in their large
forts, and there has been very little firing.
Great bodies of troops are exercised every
day on the plains in front of Mt. Valerien,
on the peninsula bounded by the Seine,
and on the roads leading south of the
city.
Large quantities of vegetables are still
in the fields around the city, and parties
are every day engaged in digging and con-
veying them inside.

bune, at Versailles on the 18th inst, tele-
graphs as follows: SIT Is believed the
French will make no sortie at present
from Paris. The army of the Loire has
Withdrawn southwark to avoid being shut
in between the German armies marching
against it. The spirit of the German
troops around Paris is excellent and their
health is very good considering the cold
and damp weather. The last was another
quiet night in the siege works. Food
continues plentiful among the Germans.
The market prices at Versailles are much
shorter than a month ago"
