NEWS FROM EUROPE.
As indicated By Saturdays dispatches,
the German troops evacuated Paris on Fri
day last, after forty-eight hours ocupa-
ton. in accordance with the condition re-
curing the movement on the ratification
of the treaty of peace, but much To the
disappointment of the mass of the hnseig-
ing army, who. it was believed. would be
given a taste of the browning glory Of the
war. The evacuation was conducted in
good order, the Germans marching opt I'M
der the Are de Triomphe with bands play
ing and flags flying, many ofthe men wear
ing evergreen upon their helmets. The
Paris papers, having resumed publication
speak bitterly but cautiously of the con-
ditions of peace, an d while enjoying pres
ent calmness, intimate that vengeance
must come in the future. The disbanding
France, has begun, and there is every evil
dence of an immediate breaking up of the
war. But there are also indications of riot
and disorder in Paris, and other cities,
with which the authorities will hare doubt
less soon to contend, and out Of which
grave political complications may occur
LONDON, March "A special to the
New York Herald from Paris describes
the scenes in Paris just prior to the evac-
uation THE avenues are almost deserted.
There is an extraordinary scene ut the Arc
de Triomphe. Two pieces of artillery
have been unlimbered and the gunners are
near at hand ready to sweep every avenue
radiating from the arch. There is also a
strong guard of infantry, with arms filed,
bivouaced in the vicinity. The soldiers
are singing from song books by the light
of the camp fires. There is much differ
ence in their temper, some fraternizing
with the blouses, exchanging cigars and
DIR ,nking wine, while others will not allow
str Anglers near their fires. All are boast
ing of the conquest of Alsace and Lorraine,
yet are glad that the war is Over, that they
get back to the Fatherland. No one
is allowed under the arch. liz the Place
de la Concorde there is a strong guard of
Bavarians lying on the ground in front of
the gates of the Turleries. \ Bavarian
sentry is picking immortelles from the sta
tue of Strasburg. Frenchmen passing cried
: Beware !"
AT midnight L re-enterei the French
lines-Large bodies of guards we're sta
toned around the watch-fires. As the
Germans are to leave Paris this morning,
the papers %reappear."
The German Emperor afterwards re-
viewed 100000 men in the Bots de Bou-
logne. The Prussian leaders are disap-
pointed at the GOODNESS and implacable
attitude of the Parisians. The authorities
are preparing to disband the Mobile Guards
in Paris. The city is quiet to-day. A
number of persons suspected to be spies
have been arrested by the people, and sew
eral women seen talking with the Prussian,
in the Champs Elysees were severely hand
led. Open-air meetings are held day and
night in the Place de la Bastile, but no
violence is reported.
The "Debats'' says. in spite of their
patriotism Alsace, Lorraine. Metz-la-Pu-
celle pass under the control of Germany.
France cannot continue the war. The
dose not belong to us, but the fol-
generations will take vengeance.
We can only say three words, silence, pa
other we dare not pronounce, but
have no right to decide for generations
