PARIsIANs TIRED OF WAR.
Advices from Paris via Belgium represent
that the citizens though they see an army
coming to their relief, are tired of war. They
condemn the government for rejecting the arm
istice and demand a cOnvocation of the Nation
al Assembly. Renan, in the Journal des De-
bates, writes that in spite of hostities the del

thorities to take steps to this end.
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENT BY THE
FRENCH.
TOURS, Nov. 1S.-[Special to N. Y. World
Gen. De Pala1ines has repeated his strategic
movement, which secured his late victory at
Orleans, and has accomplished still more i'm
portant success. While holding the German
forces at Toury by threatening them in front
with a force equal to their own, he swung
around his left wing, and moving at the same
time the whole corps from Charities along the
road leading through Ablis, Orsonville, Aut-
lion and St. Hiaire to Etamps, where the corps
paused. BY this movement he thrust himse If
between Duke Mecklenburg and Paris, while
also encircling the German army on the front
right flank and rear. While this was going on
the Germans divining danger, com nenced to
retreat from Toury nortnward along the road
to Augerville, point twelve miles south Of
Etamps. Some fighting occurred, resulting in
an advantage to the French, who everywhere
greatly outnumbered the enemy. De Pala-
dimes van guard is is now % miles due south

BoURBAKI SUSPECTED.
LILLE, Nov II $50 2. NJ The stupidity of
the provisional government is making itself
seriously felt in this department. At the in
stance of Gambetta, Testelin, Commissary Gen
eral, has bet n given an equal command with
Bourbakl IN order to watch the latter, whose
fidelity to the republic is doubted every mo-
ment, and an order of Bourbaki must be en-
dorsed by Testelin before it can be executed.
Testelin is civilian and was a member of the
legislature of 1S48. He has no military knowl-
edge and this double command is working
mischief The friends of Bourbaki blame him
for remaining in SO doubtful position. Great
activity nevertheless has been evident in the
army OF the north for three days and there is
good reason to suppose that concentration OF
the forces of this command is about to take
pace with the object of marching to the relief
OF Paris by moving eastward and endeavoring
TO make junction with the army OF the Loire
between Fontanbleau and Creteil. The gardes
rationale will be left to guard the fortified
t0wns. 1t is represented that the army of the
north numbers 100 900 men, but can only To-
cate $4,000. The local newspapers are forbid
den from publishing any military information
oRLEANIsT SYMPATHY.
The city is excited over the news of the APP
preaching continental war, which it believes
Will benefit France. Evidence euiDs every
where that secret hone is entertained by the
country people that the Orleanists will be re-
stored. They believe Count De Paris at the
head of 10000 could march triumphantly
