1t was not without difficulty that I
reached Lyons left Paris, Saturday
morning, ind was obliged to pass BY
Roucn, and arrived here only Monday
night. Everywhere the roads were COW
cred with soldiers and recruits for tho
army De La Loire, which is in tho way Of
formation ut Tours, and another at
Du Rhone, under the command Ol Gen
cral Cluseret, which is about 10 be organ
lied. From Marsailles to Lyons, these
two armies will harrass the Prussians
during the siege. Here is certainly the
last hope OI France. The people arc
more energetic and rcsolute than
in other parts OF France, they having
assumed the direction Of their own af-
fairs. The Municipal Council, yeSter-
day, elected Gen. Cluseret COmmander.in-
chief Of the army Of Rhone. He has not
yet accepted but will advise the people
this afternoon from tho Hotel dc Vile,
and will require them to raise by taxation
100000 francs for the organization Of
the army. If the money Is granted he
will accept the command. l think the
Prussians arc now in very bad condi-
tiOn. There arc 10000 persons under
arms in Paris. Everywhere tho people
are anxious to fight Two new armies Are
forming on the flank Of the enemy and
there is determination to treat as traitors
oil who dare speak Of compromising with
Prussia ~;
