The hour of trial for Paris has arrived. The
city WIS declared in a state OF siege 70 day, and
the PrusSiaDs are massing their forces under its
walls, capturing railroad trains, and cutting the
lines Of communication. In a day or two the
victorious armies of King William will have
closed in about the devoted city, and active
operations will be commenced. With reinforce
ments from Marseilles and elsewhere, the troops
behind the Notifications are computed at two
hundred thousand OF this number probably
not thirty thousand belong to the regular army.
While there Is an abundance OF war materisl
for the forts and artillery, the majority of the
infantry are doubtless poorly armed. The sup
ply OF chsSsepots was not sufficient 10 meet the
wants of the regulars, and McMshon was COM
PEELED to equip many of the troops at Chalons
with old flint muskets- Probably two-thirds of
the chassep0ts are now at Metz, and IN the
hands Of Fresh Prussian levies, who obtained
them at Sedan. Trochu expresses much conf
dence in the ability of the city to withstand the
siege.
