IBY TELEGRAPH TO TTB TRfBUERl
LONDON Wednesday, Nov. %, 1870.
The special correspondent of The TlHBUNB in Paris
sends dispatches from the Stb to the 18tb Under
date of 10th inst he says I'm my district there has
been no meat for the last four days. In the next
district the butchers shops are shut. For five days
my friends have been dining on cats rats and guinea
pigs. The deaths arc 1, 800 weedy-3so from small
pox.
18th inst-Gon Trochu tells his friends that the
preparations for sorte are nearly complete, but the
troops desperately dcmoralized.
18th inst.-Favre published Gambettas dispatch
announcing the recapture of Orleans, adding: We
are soon going to take the hands of our brethren OF
other departments and with them deliver the coun-
try The news is not fully believed; all Gambetta's
communications are discredited. The Steele thought
il ntrinsically unimportant but of good omen. The
Journal OHcel declares that Paris may soon hope aid
from the victorious army, with armies from the East
and West.
The first number of n new 'telegraphic news
paper, containing private messages printed and
microscopically photographed 80 that there were
COG dispatches on surface of a inches square,
reached Paris yesterday by a pigeon with intelli-
gence from every part of France and abroad. But
pigeon-service is extremely uncertain of 200 taken
away by balloons only 80 have returned. The Gov
eminent announced officially on the 18th inst that 1T
had received no news for fortnight.
Trochu publishes in the Journal O6iciel long
address, dated 18th inst, to the eitizens National
Guard, army, and Garde Mobile. He says: Europe
is astonisbcd to see the spectacle Paris affords The
enemy, astonished at having been held two months
before Paris was ready to yield to the general Eu-
ropean feeling, and abandon the implacable resolve
to disOrganze France, and had accepted an arms
tice on French terms when the fatal 3lst of October
compromised the situation restored Prussan hopes,
and broke off negotiations. Since then, the enemy
strives to SOW divisions among u.s. introducing false
intelligence through the outposts.
"Trochu recites the efforts made for defense. He
thinks that never in history did an invaded people
or q besicged city make such vigorous resistance
This he says will enghen those who believe it pos
sble to do more or take the offensive with masses
insufiicently organized and armed We have done
what we could not what we would. The future de-
mands still greater efforts, for time presses. IL
would not be worthy of France-the world would
not understand i-that the people and army of Paris
after energetic preparation for all sacrifices should
not 90 further and suffer and fight till suffering and
fighting are no longer possible. If we triumph, we
deserve well of our country; if we fab, we leave to
Prussia the replacing of the First Empire in pride OF
conquest and violence-a task impossible to accom-
plish-an inheritance of curses and haired under
which she in turn will FAM
"Since the 18th inst horse, mule, and ass flesh has
been fairfield like beef and rations thereof issued
by Government. The people bear privations well
thus far. Charcoal is eight times its usual price.
The consumption of gas is forbidden after o'clock
in the evening Pyat is released and his comrades
soon will be.
"1sh inst-Arago resigns the MayOralty; Jules
Ferry succeeds as the Government delegate fulfilling
the Mayors functions. Both the Mayoralty and the
Prefecture are nominally abolished though both
actually existing but under the direct control of the
Defense Government. The result is chaos. One dis
trict is rationcd fortnight sooner than the next.
Rations vary at the same time in different districts
from Il to 81 ounces This week all were reduced to
one and two-fifths ounces.
,1o,r Iiafri hnfio ypoe mar of
equipments and material for the new modified com
panes of the National Guard in preparation for the
long expected sortie."
There are numerous extracts from papers by the
same balloon. The Journal de Paris published the
1lth and the GGulois reprinted on the 18th strong
appeal to the Government: lyon know that your
army of relief is a phantom. The provinces cannot
come to the help of Paris. You ought to confess the
truth. You know that it is equally impossible to
cut through the Prussian lines that the garrison
can reach the Loire. To get provisions for such a
sortie You must win great battle, which, wiuI you
present army you can never do"
Rochefort writes to the RGppel, in answer to the
question whether he has really given his resiena-
tion: Eyes; Nov. /, and have never thought of
Withdrawing it," Louis Blanc publishes an address
TO the defenders of Paris congatulsting them upon
the failure of the armistice. I've cannot, ought
not to treat with enemy occupying French SOIL
There need be no regret that the Assembly is not
called. France has a Republican Government, which
s best for her. The Assembly might, probably
would. be accessible to moDarchicl influences. Its
doc;sions would produce new connections Paris
