THE GERMANS IN PARIS.
LONDON, March 2.-The New York Herald
correspondent sends from Versailles the follow
ing account of the review of the German army
at Long Champs, this morning: exactly at
half past ten, the emperor drove up to the back
of the grand stand in low, open carriage, at
tended by dragons and the great officers of his
household. Alighting on the steps of the grand
entrance, he took horse and cantered across the
the field toward the general staff which had fol-
lowed along the line. As the emperor appeared
the bands played, "Heil dir" and all the troops
saluted him. The emperor looked exceedingly
well, and rode dashingly, despite his lingering
ndispostion.
As he rode down the front of the line, the
flags dropped and the men gave three ringing
cheers. The emperor kept his hands on his
helmet, and smiled upon his soldiers. Passing
Bismarck, he waved his hand in a friendly man
ner twice. Having passed up and down the
line, the emperor galloped across the field to a
point two hundred yards TO the right of the
grand stand, facing the troops, where he took
up position in front of the crown prince sit
ting erect on his charger, surveying the troops
for moment with deep emotion.
The order was given TO march, A handsome
sObbed aloud. The bands struck up and, with
splendid step, 10000 men marched past in such
perfect manner that each battery presented a
profile as of only one gun. The emperor leaves
for Germany on Saturday instead of Monday
The ratification of the treaty of peace is expect
ed here tonight. If it comes, the Germans will
evacuate Paris tomorrow; but if not, the
twelfth corps will probably take its turn to en-
ter Paris.
p. M.-Al is quiet and the people are ex.
hCrted TO keep in doors. The gates of the Tuil-
lCrieS and the Louvre are closed and several
statues in the place de la Concorde are draped
IN black. The first gas was lighted last night
The troops in some cases, on entering the city,
were mohbed, and narrowly escaped injury
Some persons near the arc de trjOn1phe congrat-
ulated themselves on the difficulty experienced
by the Prussian cavalry in getting over the
heaps of sand and stones. They pointed to the
arc and said: wait till we enter Berlin" Tho
Germans took no notice of the insults.
At 1.15 the head of the German troops adj
vanced up the Grand avenue. After the dra-
goons came Bismarck, the dukes of Sake Coburg
and Wurembourg Leopold of Bavaria, Prince
Adalbert and Prince Charles of Prussia. When
the Prussian infantry passed under the are de
triompbe they were received by the crowd with
whistling screams and derisive shouts.t
squadron of hussarS came next. Bismarck
did not enter the arch de triOmDhe but turned
round and rode back to Neuily. The grandest
part OF the military spectacle was the march
along the Champ EIysees, with bay onets and
helmets differing in the sun, and flags, torn
by battle, tluttering in the breeze.
The crowd of men and boys, block aiding the
way, was dispersed by the uhanen. The uhlanen
and Bavarians are especially hated. The troops
looked splendidly, and surprised the French,
who owned that they could not beat them
SPEEDY PEACE.
BORDEAUX, March Am envoy, bearing the
vote of the assembly accepting the preliminary
conditions of peace, will reach Paris at noon,
to-day. The notifications win be exchanged with
out delay, so that the German force may with
draw from the city his evening. The employees
OF the department of the interior will return to
Paris on Saturday, and it is believed that the
entire government will be transferred to Paris
again as speedily as the execution of the peace
convention will hermit
