The Alabama Claims, Etc., Etc.
Paris capitulate to the Germans on the
9th Of January. This is one Of the greatest
capitulations known to warfare, Of ancient or
modern times, the number of captive troops
being not less than 10000, together with Is
frst-class fortresses, immense armament and
military stores of the city, which contains two
million citizens. Jules Favre was obliged to
consent to Bismarek's terms Of peace, which
are the eession Of Alsace, Lorraine and a por-
ton Of the French fleet, the municipalities
agreeing TO assume certain sums to reimburse
Germany for the expenses of the war, a por-
ton of French territory (probably Champagne)
to be held as security for the fulfillment of the
terms. German troops are to occupy Paris,
probably until after the ratification of the
terms OF peace by the Constituent Assembly
to be chosen.
The articles of the capitulation Of Paris were
signed on the 2Sth ult. On the 29th, at 10
O'Clock A. NJ, the Germans occupied all the
forts, and the French garrison. except the Ma
tional Guard, laid down their arms. The ar
ticles provide for an armistice till February
10Th. The French regulars and Mobiles are
TO be kept prisoners in Paris. The city is to
be revictualed, and the National Guard will
maintain order. A National Assembly will
meet at Bordeaux in two weeks. Meanwhile
all the armies in the field will maintain their
present position, and the ground between the
opposing lines is to be neutral. There are
statements which lead to the supposition that
the negotiations make provisions for Regen-
cy, and others that the Empress and Prince
Imperial are to be restored, but these are not
confirmed, and We suppose are unfounded.
The Bordeaux Assembly is not likely to favor
the Bonapartists, but is likely to favor peace.
