Paris is occupied the majority OF the troops will be
quartered in the city and there remain all winter
experimenting the Constituent Assembly and keep
ing a wide circle Of country under subjection while
the army OF Prince Frederick Charles pacdes the
rest Of the country, until the army lately under
Bazaine is brought back to France, to be used in
strengthening The hands OF q new, strong govern
ment, with which peace will be made
NAPOLEON TO BE RESTORED.
At the head OF this government Will be Napoleon.
This Is the reason why Bazaine has been sent to
Wilhemshdhe, and OF the continual communications
between Napoleon the King, Bismarck and the i'm
perialists Of England and Belgium.
