PARIS FULLY PRovrsIoSED.
Paris Is abundantly provlsioned for more

than 1t was before the siege began, and meat
is actually cheaper. This results naturally
from three causes the dimlnution In the
number Of consumers, over three hundred
Thousand persons having, 1t ls estimated, left
Paris during the last fortnight; from the adop-
ton of rigid economy by families and citizens;
and from the reorganization under strict
DISCIPLINE of the commissariat of the troops

discipline not known In the French army for
years, and with results already Visible In the
perfect order of the city, the bearing Of the
soldiery. and the general high spirit which
pervsdes the whole metropolis. There Is much
alarm, however, among the shop-keeping

from the highest quarters; and to the attitude
of Russia taken in connection with the grow
ing Indignation OF the English people At the
course OF Mr.. Glulstoue's government. peace

The Russian fleets are fitting for sea at Cron-
stadt, and as have repeatedly notified YOU
the Russian armies on the Polish frontier are,
ready to assume the offensive at once, If neces-
sary.
