LONDON, Feb. l. 1871
The NEW YORK HERALD correspondent at
Versailles telegraphs me, under date of to-day,
as follows:-
FEEDING THE PARIsIANs.
As you have been already informed tho
food supply in Paris was so low that the
Germans had to feed the furnishing Parsians
with their rations NJ Jules Favre appealed
to the Emperor of Germany for pity toward
Paris, confessing that the provisional govern
sions by nine days. The Emperor William,
in reply, Immediately ordered 100000
Of rations and 10, 900 head of cattle sent in.
DIsARMING THE ENCEINTE.
The work of dismounting the guns on the
enceinte is proceeding actively. Meanwhile
the Prussian line around the city is being con-
stituted with despatch and will be held by
strong force until the enceinte is completely
disarmed
CONDITION OF FORT vALERIEN.
A close inspection of Fort Mont valerien
shows that there were no casemates, no bomb
proofs nor any kind Of shelter for the men if
the Prussians had opened heavy fire on the
fort during the siege.
RESTRICTIONS.
No person will be permitted to go in or out
of Paris until after the terms OF peace are ar
ranged, or until the expiration of the armis-
tice, when, if the war is resumed, the Ger
mans will take military possession of the city.
REJoIoINGs AMONG THE GERMANS.
Great rejoicings are held in the camps Of
the Germans around the line of investment.
The men fail to share the apprehensions Of
their leaders in renewal of hostilities. In
many instances they are already securing
mementoes of the scenes of war at Versailles
and getting them together to take home.
They begin to talk of the journey back to
Fatherland with eager longings, rejecting
the idea that now the bloodshed of the past
six months has been once stopped it can pos
sihly be renewed.
A GENEROUS FEELING.
A resumption Of hostlities after the term-
nation of the armistice, through the heavy de-
mands Of Germany, will be decidedly unpop-
ular with the Germans, In the army here
more generous feeling toward their French
enemy is daily exhibited by the soldiers in
thousand ways. Intercourse between the Ger
man troops and the French citizens about YER
| sales is constant and friendly.
FAvRE's EMOTION.
| In his last interview with Count Bismarck
| M. Jules Favre showed deep feeling, His
spirits were much broken. During the con-
versation between the two, and particularly
on the subject of the food in Paris, Favre was
| greatly agitated and frequen ly hurst into
tears.
CONCERNING GAMBETTA.
| During the interview Count Bismarck ex-
pressed doubt regarding the course that
would be pursued by NJ. Gambetta and his
associates at Bordeaux, who are comparatively
exempt from the horrors of war, and sug-
gested the probability Of their refusing to yield
| to the orders of the Paris government. III.
Favre replied that the powers held by Gam
BETA were only delegated The authority of
the government Of the National Defence, he
said, was not confined to Paris, but extended
throughout France. He did not believe that
Gambetta would claim the power to act in
opposition to the orders Of the government of
Paris, and if he did so his removal would
take place Immediately.
FRA2s. FOX TRooHU.
Favre stated to Bismarck that General
Trochu was in q terrible state of sorrow and
distress, arising from the necessity of surren-
dering Paris. He added, ''Je trem5le pour sa
cie" q tremble for his lFe.)
DESTRUCTION IN ST. DENIS.
The destruction in st. Denis during the
short period of the bombardment Of that place
