titute churches, and was gratiiled to hear
at the conclusion of the services that the
people were well pleased with my teach

THE WAR.

81 Since the surrender of Paris and the
agreement upon an armistice, but little
of Importance has taken place. The
Germans hastened to relieve the starv-
ing Inhabitants ofthe long besieged
city, but, the scarcity of provisions
throughout the whole country renders
it slowwork. Already over 10000 per
sons have applied for permission to
leave the city. The armistice did moi
extern, to, Southeastern France, and
consequently hostilities did not cease
between Bourbaki and Manteufel. The
former has lost almost his entire army,
either captured by the Germans on
French soil, or forced over the Swiss
/ boundary and taken there. An elec-
tion has been ordered to be held for a
new provisional government, but such
restriction has been placed upon those
! who vote as to render IL an unfair cleo
ton, The French still seem foolishly
obstinate, and it may be probable that
peace will not be secured without still
further loss of life. res
, The following from the New York
Herald will give some idea of what
! France will be:
- VERsAILLEs, FEB. .4.-Favre declares
himself master of the situation. 1t is
probable that If France preserves the
republic, Favre will be Consul, and if
the Empire is restored, that Favre will
be Premier. The chances of the Bour-
bons and Orleanists are diminishing
and those of the Empire are increasing.
( The Germans are confident of the res
storation of the Empire. The laxity of
Swiss neutrality affords pretext for
the annexation of Neufschatel, which
belongs to the inheritance of dead Ho-
henzollern. The Prussian army will
march through Paris after peace is
made.
The reports of riots in Paris are not
true. ,es yr r.
