who declare they shall not make peace o.
any terms reproach the ministry
for entertaining the question of peace
Indeed, these very men begin TO cry GU
for an equal division of food among US
and would embarrsss the government
with disturbances. If anything goei
wrong these people are to be feared.
The Government, are doing their ver]
best, but the Reds are getting louder and
louder each day ia dissatisfaction. They
threaten seriously to hamper the Govern
ment. 1t may be that before long Pari'
may regard the incoming of the Prussians
lesser evil than their supremacy.
We are doing well enough about pro-
visions and supplies. The government
fixes the price of meat, which is as cheap
dare say, as in New York. 1t is NOT
yet more than 30 cents 8 pound. There
is no scarcity of amount of food, and the
supply of bread is unlimited. For wine
the Prussians may envy us. The city
seems Unusually healthy. Even small
pox has disappeared, or at least we hear
nothing of 1t. 'The people forget to be
i'll in the midst of war.
We are waiting in no little excitement
for the return of Favre from the Prussian
headquarters, but those well informed
have slight hopes of his success.
Trochu's Plans-The Late French
Defeat--The Coward Zouaves.
Another correspondent writes, Tuesd az
The fight yesterday at Chattillon was any:
thing but satisfactory.
1t appears that originally Gen. Trochu,
having reviewed his forces, determined
to defend Paris without the help of an
army outside. He made up his mind to
give up all the strong places beyond the
lines of the forts, when suddenly came Du-
crat in the guise of peasant Here was
general fit to be trusted with command
outside of Paris. Ducrat should have an
army of $4,000 men to defend certain
heights. ...- -
They came to trial yesterday. The
most important incident of the day was
the flight of the Zouaves The detested
Zouaves, without firing shot, ran into
Paris amid execrations and hootings.
They have been arrested in great num-
bers. 1t is proposed to shoot them, or at
least make good example.
In the Champ de Mars the young Mo-.
bile did better. They stood their ground,
but the result of 1t all is that the army of
Ducrat returned behind the forts, and
Trochu falls back upon his original idea
of defending Paris by itseK.
Louis Blanc on the Situation.
LONDON, Sept 23.-Special to the Til
bune.-Louis Blanc writes on the 18th
from Paris: They have been fighting
TO -day all around Paris with an alterns-
ton of success and disadvantage. The
city is full of spirit, yet calm. The ma
tional Guard has shown itself resolute,
and the Guard Mobile is coming from ali
parts of the country. -
THERE'S no display of that careless gaiety
30 characteristic of the French. We are
sad, yet hopeful. Don't suppose we ex-
pect to escape from the consequences of a
war into which we have been dragged in
spite of ourselves. We desire peace Oh
equitable and honorable conditions. If
We cannot have that, we are ready to ac-
2ept war to the knife.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-Chas. Hugo, in the
tappel writes:
"When John Bull hears Denmark's |
leath rattle, and the cries of rage from
France, whom sinister scoundrels have |
handed over defenseless to savsges, but |
Who will iberate herself, he swallows his
,eefsteak and drinks his porter, saying |
With profound sigh, 4 regret that my |
friends are being swallowed up"
