The Times correspondent, MalakoH,
writing from Paris. the 10Th inst, says
I'VE have arrived at the starvation point.
The supply of meat will last but few
days longer. To save fuel, many inhab-
tants remain IN bed all day. If it had
been properly timed, Ducrot' sally would
have succeeded. In the event of the
failure Of the next sortie, Ducrot, Favre
and others of the government will leave
Paris by balloon to prosecute the war In
the provinces. Trochu will remain until
the surrender of the city.
The report that the French intend to

| The latest adyices indicate that the
garrison of Paris intend to make one more
grand and desperate effort to relieve the
capital by sortie, and if unsuccessful to
capitulate. A serious lack of discipline
is reported among the soldiers defending

| place between them and the besiegers.
| LONDON, Dec. 20.-On the capitula-
tion ofThionville, 5000 French troops
were paroled. A majority Of the be-
sieged were much enraged at the surren-
der, and some of the troops threatened
| to explode the magazine, but they were
dissuaded from the purpose on the ap-
| pearance of women and children, who
on their knees besought submission.
During the action $4,000 shells were
thrown into the city, doing damage to
the extent of 100000.

road. have been received. The Germans
under Gen. Won Werder stormed this
town in great force. A furious cannon
ade was kept up for several hours, when
the fire from the Prussian artillery be-
came so destructive to the French that
the latter were forced TO surrender to
avoid wholesale slaughter. Several
thousand French troops escaped previous
to the surrender, but the Germans cap
tured over 1000 prisoners, several thous-
and horses and two batteries of field ar
tillery. The French loss is reported to
be between 1000 and 5000 in killed and
wounded, including many prominent
officers. The German loss is compare
lively small. After the surrender Of
! Nuts, Gen. Won Werder commanded a
rapid pursuit Of the remnant Of the
french army, who retreated in south
westerly direction, being closely followed
| by the Germans. Advices from Epireri
state that the French army passed there
last night in full retreat toward Longju-
meau. Gen. Won Werder is pushing

ture of the entire body Of the reteating
army is considered certain.
