Foreign Notes.
FROM VERSAILLES.


VERSAILLES, Feb. 5.-Gold is rising rapidly
in value in Paris. The Parisians expect heavy
money impositious TO be made by the enemy.
The city is gradually assuming somewhat of the
appearance of its former splendor The Prus-
slams have been energetic in promoting the i'm
proved sanitary condition.
The elections for memJers of the assembly are
proceeding with feverish energy and determine
ton on the part of the electors 1t is not posi-
bic 10 convey an idea of the general and intense
feeling of hatred and opposition to Gambetta as
is manifested by the people.
An exchange of wounded prisoners is proceed
ing to-day. They pass through the gates of
Versailles. This is also accompanied by the de-
livery Of arms by the army. Irochu's unpopu-
larity is very marked, and is so great that
threatenings to shoot him are not unfrequent.
Irochu wishes TO retire at once from public life
and return to Brittany.
The following statement is official: The
duality of the French government will appar-
emily lead the administration at Bordeaux to a
non-obserYance of the convention entered into
by the Germans and the authorities at Paris.
The convention only looked to negotiations for
a free assembly, and the arbitrarily constituted
body under the dictation of Gambetta is not en-
titled to such a title. Favre has informed Bis
marck that he will rescind the DEGREES issued by
Gambetta. The confusion is, however, probably
only removable by an adjournment of the cleo
tions.
A SUGGESTION FROM ENGLAND.
BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Previous to the capituation
of Paris the government of England suggested
to the powers the eXpediency of taking action in
interest of peace, and recommended the grant
ing of lenient terms TO France to facilitate the
requisite negotiations. The powers were asked
to give such instructions to their representatives
in the London conference as would enable them
10 take action on the whole subject.
MINISTER WAsHBURNE.
LONDON, Feb 6.-The Cologne Gazette ac-
EnOyylndppc in ulpNyOp fprp rho
United States Minister Washburne has, during
the siege Of Paris, given the needed succor TO
seventeen hundred Germans.
THE ORLEANS FAMILY.
A Paris letter of Wednesday says that
Leuienne, in an article published in the Debats,
writes that the republic is failure and that the
Orleans family is the only hope of France
ALL QUIET.
PARIS, Feb. 5.-Since the conclusion of the
armiStice tranquility has prevailed. The decree
closing the clubs has been rescinded, because
the occasional open air meetings which have
been held threatened to become turbulent.
TROUBLE AT BORDEAUX.
LONDON, Feb. Ga telegram received from
Bordeaux contains information of a serious dis
turbance which occurred in that city last night,
and the city has been in an unusual state of agi-
tation for some days past, but nothing of any
importance took place, neither were any demon
STATIONS of notable magnitude by the populace.
Last night, however, about eight o'clock, the
crowds winch mad been gathering fresh food for
excitement from the recent important events
which have been transporting, collected in the
streets and marched in one vast mob to the per-
lection here. They halted, and Immediately the
uproar and excitement commenced in all its
fury Vehement denunciations of the compact
made at Versailles resOunded on all sides, and
deep and dire were the threats uttered against
the falseness and treachery which had suggested
it, and had betrayed France to the hand of her
oppreSsors. The excitement ragged throughout
the evening, and even this morning it is hardly
abated. 1t is now lairly evident that the infu-
ence which might have been used by the Paris
government in the present crisis is now utterly
impotent, and will fail when applied to this city
or any of the towns in the surrounding prov
inces. The feeling of distrust in that govern
ment is general, and their every action is looked
upon with suspicion.
