bakt Caught.

additional to the special to the London
Daily Telegraph from Versailles, that

Paris will surrender to-day, has yet
been received.
As already telegraphed, Count Bis
marck announced at Versailles that
General Bourbaki had been caught be-
tween the armies Of Won Werder and
Monteufel and mus: surrender.
A dispatch from Bordeaux, which ad.
mits that the Prussians cut the railway
to Lyons south Of Besaucon, and of
Bourbaki's supposed position, can only
be construed to confirm this statement
OF the Prussian premier At the same
time and at the same interview Count
Bismarck declared Paris must submit
in a few days. 1t is also stated as
confirmatory Of this view Of the situa-
ton, that negotiations for capitulation
had already been opened. The dis
patch which announces this proceeds
from correspondent who has persist
emily denied the German claims of sue
cess. 1t may therefore be considered
entitled to belief

! The Versailles correspondent Of the
Central Press Association, telegraphs

lief that negotiations for the capitula-
tion of Paris are progressing, and adds

aucon, and is threatening the rear Of

and Burgundy, tore up the rails
and ties and so damaged the rail
road that it is now impossible.

Excitement I'm London Over the
CapitulatiOn OF Paris.
New YORK, January 26th.-The
Hralds special from London 25th,
says: There is tremendous excitement
in this city at the west end over the
rumored treaty for the capitulation Of
Paris. Many doubt the truth Of the
report, and this disbelief is increased by
rumor that Favre is actively on his
way to London to attend the conference.
1t is said he is expected in London at
2.l5 to-day. This is improbable. On
Change there is an etfervescing excite
ment Members are gathered in
groups, talking eagerly, and editions Of
papers brought in are anxiously scanned,
Everything is rising, vet but little doing
as members are too agitated.
Among the French residents gen.
eral satisfaction is expressed.
Their opinion in general is that the
news of the capitulation is well found
ed, and they accept the fact of Trochus
resignation as proof that it is true. The
neighborhoods most frequented by the
French refugees, Leicester square and
Saho, present just now singular ap.
pearance. Every street is filled with
crowds of people wildly gesticulating.
Further information is eagerly sought
for at the foreign office. At the Prus-
sian Embassy nothing was known Of
the capitulation.
