President Theirs yesterday sent the Ma
tional Assembly the conditions of peace.
The Republican delegates at Bordeaux
have resolved to vote against the treaty of
peace, but its ratification is regarded as
certain.
"A despatch received long after midnight
says that another serious disturbance has oc-
Cured in Paris, and the heads of Theirs
and Favre were demanded by the infuriated
populace.
Should collision occur between the
people of Paris and the German soldiery, it is
thought that the city will be put under mar
tial law.
The decision of the National Assembly is
anxiously looked for by the people of France,
and great fears are expressed that the coun-
sells of the Left may prevail and the terms of
peace meet with a rejection that will compli-
cate peace prospects.
"A despatch from Havre says that the Ger
man troops, unaware of the prolongation of
the armistice, attacked that city yesterday.
The operations were, however, checked by
the appearance of flag of truce from the
city with the news, and hostilities at once
ceased.
News from various parts of Ireland
makes it appear that some disturbances have
recently occurred, and that several persons
were killed.
1t is stated that the occupation of the
departments south of the Seine ceases i'm
mediately after the ratification of peace, and
that of the other departments when a stipu-
lated portion of the indemnity is paid; but
the fortresses will be occupied until the whole
claim is cancelled.
Everything has been prepared for the
entry of the Germans into Paris, but the issue
of final orders relative to the matter has been
reserved until to-day
The Germans are to enter Paris to-day
and remain until peace is ratified.
