TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Feb. I, 1871.
The HERALD correspondent in Berlin tele-
graphs specially, under date of January 81,
the following news report for transmission
by the cable to New York;
The rumors which have been circulated
during few days past to the effect that his
Majesty the Emperor William will retire i'm
mediately from the front to Berlin are un-
founded.
| can state, on the most excellent authority,
that the Emperor will remain at his present
headquarters in the Palace of Versailles until
peace is finally concluded between France and
Germany.
No person is just now permitted to pass the
German lines outward from around Paris, so
that the different reports which are put abroad
relative to the future intentions of the EN-
peror and his commanders must be received
with caution.

LONDON, Feb. /, 1871.
have received information for the NEW
YORK HERALD that great quantities of food
have been shipped from Belgium to Paris
GERMANS FEEDING THE FRENCH.
The Times of to-day says that upon the
representation Of M. Favre that Paris was
already suffering greatly from want Of food,
the Emperor ordered that 100000 of rations
be sent from the German army to the famish-
ing city.
ENTRANCE TO PARIS LIMITED.
All trains converging upon Paris are for
hidden to carry mere travellers, who are
excluded from the city, unless they are pro-
vided with special pass from the German
authorities While persons are allowed to
leave Paris, the French authorities have re-
quested the Prussians to prevent all admissions
to the city.
THE SUPPLY ON HAND.
The Prussians are making colossal efforts to
supply the city with breadstufs, of which
there are now on hand sufficient to last till
Saturday. The supplies of horse will hold
out to the 10th Of February.

1 am assured to-day, by HERALD telegrams
from Stockholm, that the members of what is
termed the ''French party" in Sweden have
just propagated a statement which asserts that
the German Emperor intends to annex Fort
Karskrona to the territory Of the North
German Confederation after, or just at the
moment OF, the termination of the Prussian
war with France

GENERAL BUTLER AND THE TEST OATH
General Buffers bill in relation to the repeal
of the test oath elected yesterday speech
from JEFF Long, the colored representative in
Congress from South Carolina. The General
must have regarded this obstruction as oppo-
sition from an unexpected quarter. Butler
has done more for the negro and negro en-
franchisement than any other prominent
radical. It must seem very queer to him to
find his colored friends going back on him.
He has not exactly been "hoist by his own
petard," but by his own Sambo. The ques-
tion, however, now is, ''Wil the President
veto the bill2" Let us have reconstruction
out and out, and no humbug, and no ''nigger
in the woodpile" about it.

Assembly-The Orleans Princes in the
Field-Bordeaux Defiant.
LONDON, Feb. 1, 1871.
I am enabled to inform the readers of the
HERALD that despatch frem Bordeaux, dated
to-day, announces that NJ. Gambetta, in a
despatch sent yesterday in reply to NJ Favre's
telegram of the 2Sth, says 1.-THE country s
feverishly anxious, and cannot rest contented
with the information given in your despatch.
The government Of Bord eaux has ordered
the immediate execution of the armistice, but
cannot order the elections for the National
Assembly without further explanations and
without knowing the fate Of Paris
PROBABLE ACTION OF TIE NATIONAL AS
SEMBLY.
Another despatch from Bordeaux of the
same date reports that it is believed that the
first act of the National Assembly when it
convenes at Bordeaux will be the nomination
of President of the Council of Ministers
forming the government. MN. Favre, Gam
beta, Theirs, Picard and Grevy are the proba-
bic candidates for the Office, and Favre, Gam
beta and Theirs are considered to have the
greatest chances.
THE ORLEANS PRINCES IN THE FIELD.
The Orleans Princes have resolved to accept
of candidatures for the National Assembly, in
the belief that if chosen they can return to
France and be no longer prohibited from resi-
dence upon her soil. The Duke d'Aumale will
become candidate for Beauvais, Angouleme,
Clermont and Ferrand, and the Prince de
Joinville for Cherbourg, Chaumont and Brest.
BORDEAUX STILL DEFIANT.
The municipality of Bordeaux has made a
protest to the government against peace upon
any dishonorable terms, and imploring the
delegation to remain at their posts.

The Contract With the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company.
Movements Of the United States Flag
ship Severn

KINGSTON, Jan. so, 1871.
The Governor of Jamaica says if the visits
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
steamers to this port, while on their voyages
between New York and Aspinwall. proves
beneficial to the colony during the three
months contract, and the service becomes
permanent, subsidy of five thousand pounds
will be appropriated but it will be necessary
for the company to guarantee specific cargo
space and room for a specified number of ia
maica passengers, one of the conditions Of
the subsidy being that negroes shall not be
refused as passengers.
There is great rejoicing among the islanders
at the prospect of return of the fruit trade
with New York

name.
The American schooner Vincent J. Wallace,

escaped in an open boat without food or

Operations to Recover the Lost Gable.

KINGSTON, Jan. IL, 1871.
Her Majesty's steamship Vesta returned into port

cable steamer Dacia twenty miles or Port Morant,
where the Puerto Rico cable had parted and SUNK

circumstances are these:-Wnile about twenty miles

to proceed with the laying, 1t "knked' and parted.
The Vestal then came on TO Kingston and the Dacia

on the road to Douai, while the Prussans were
before Cambria making acquisitions, actually
in the suburbs Of the town. The faubourgs de
Paris and St. Drouron contributed our break
fasts. The cavalry meantime spread out on
the right and left TANKS, while General Won
Goeben and his staff left Candery to return to
ST. Quentin.
TERRIBLE CONDITION OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
On January %, when General Faidherbe
reached Douai, the state of his troops was
pitiable. Many were shoeless, and the trou-
sers and uniforms Of all were mass Of mud.
One regiment of Chasseurs, which was 500
strong when it left for the front, returned with
but 270 men Of all ranks. The artillery horses
were dying from fatigue, and the cavalry
horses were unable to bear their riders. The
roads everywhere, especially beyond the vii
lage Of Beauvois, on the Cambria and Avesne
road, showed painful signs of the complete
route of the French. 1t is no wonder, under
these circumstances, that the short and de-
cisive telegram, ION January 81. twelve
o'clock noon, an armistice will convene"
signed by General Won Moltke, created the
widest excitement here. AT that time the
position of the First German Army will be as
follows -
POSITIONS OF Won GoEBEN's FORCES
The bulk of the army will be as it now
stands behind the river Somme. General
Galye, commanding the First division, will
be in or about Rossel, northeast of
Garonne. Fins and LIE Catalet will also be oc-
cupied. The Fifteenth division, under General
Krumber, will occupy Acheux, with outposts
at Briconay-B -Bucquay C); the Sixteenth divi
sion, under Barnakow, will hold Bapaume-a
detachment will occupy Doullens. General
Won Goeben, with the cavalry, viii hold the
road to Abbeville, and General Berntheim,
with the Second division, will probably occu-
py Dieppe.
WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED.
Thus, should NJ. Gambettas eloquencc pre-
vail, and General Faidherbe pay no attention
to the armistice and attack General Won Goe-
bens position, he will find a still harder game
than he ever played before.
MUTUAL CONGRATULATIONS
It is curious to see the effect the message
of peace has produced upon the French and
German inhabitants of Amiens. They rush
to one another's houses, kiss, shake hands and
blow their noses vigorously by turns. The
Germans shake hands and think of Fatherland
with hearts waiting and yearning for those in
their distant homes.
SAD SCENES.
Now and then the sounds Of JOY and glad
ness which resound through the streets Of
Amiens are hushea as the slow and measured
tramp Of the soldiers is heard bearing in
coffin some comrade to his last resting place.
Such scenes only intensity the hope that the
temporary cessation of bloodshed will lead to
final peace and put stop to the horrible
butchery of the past six months.
