wards compelled by the pressure of the
citizens and the garrison.
There Is great rejoicing here over the
victory, Salutes firing and bells ringing.
a letter from Tribune speciaI, dated
Paris, the 2lst, evening, was received to-
day.
There have been two depEtations to the
Hotel de Vile to interview the govern
ment with respect to an armistice. One
consisted of about eleven officers of the
National Guards, mostly from Faubourgs
| st. Antoine and Du Tenn pie, accompanied
| by a large crowd. They were received by
the Mayor OF Paris and Jules FerreS.
The latter's reply is not very clear cer-
| tatnly. He said that no shameful peace
should be concluded, but whether, as some
assert, he answered the officers that no
| portion of the French soil should be ced-
| cd is not eQuaiy certain. Shortly after
this deputatlon had left. another arrived
| from the Republican clubs. It stated that
Ferres's answer to this last delegation was
| considered satisfactory.
The walls were placarded with the proc.
lametion from Trochu 70 the armed force.
He tells them that some regiments be .
haved badly at Clam0nt, and That the as
sertion that they had not cartridges was
false He recommends all citizens to ar
rest soldiers who are drunk, or who propa-
| gate false news, and threatens a vigorous
| application of the articles of war.
| Faubourg St Antoine is full of people.
and nom the tone OF their observations
on the war, 1t Is certain that IL Favre con-
/ cludeS an armistice involving any cesslon
OF territory, there Will be q rising at once.
