TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Feb. 13, 1871.
The NEW YORK HERALD correspondent at
Versailles forwards me the following despatch,
dated on the 10th inst. He writes:-
PARIS TO BE ENTERED ON THE 10TH.
The programme of the entry Of the Prussian
army into Paris has been made out. Troops
will be told off to occupy the houses on the
line Of the route adopted for the passage of
the Emperor. The march through Paris will
take place at noon on the 10th inst.
LUNCH AT THE TUILERIEs.
The Emperor of Germany will enter Paris
on the same day, in special train from Yer
sailles. On arriving at the depot of the railroad
he and his staff and escort, mounting their
horses, will proceed to the Tuileries Here the
Emperor, the German Court and the general
officers Of the army will take lunch, after
which his Majesty will inspect the army
lately investing Paris and then in occupation
Of the city.
THE LINE OF MARCH.
The German army will march through the
city, with bands playing and colors flying, along
the following line e:-Concentrating near Fort
Mont Valerien, the troops will enter Paris by
the Porte de Neuilly, thence through the Arc
de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde and past
the Tuileries to st. Antoine. AS will be
noticed, the line Of march Is the same as that
previously reported by me and published in
the HERALD.
PROGRAMME FOR THE EMPEROR.
After the review the Emperor will return to
Versailles, where he will sleep. He will,
however, revisit Paris on the following day
and remain there until his return to Germany,
which will take place in the last week of the
present month. If it is impossible to prepare
the Tuieries for his Majesty's reception the
Emperor will put up at the Palace of the
Elysees. From trustworthy information re-
ceived the Prussian police are encouraged by
the hope that no untoward demonstration on
the part of the populace will occur during the
Emperor's sojourn in Paris and triumphal
defile of the troops through the city.
MOVEMENTS OF DISTINGUISHED PERso Ms.
To-day the Emperor is suffering from an at
tack of lumbago. Prince Frederick Charles
has left Versailles on his return to LIE Mans.
Prince Albrecht, Jr., has arrived here, and the
Grand Duke of SAKE Altenburg will depart to-
morrow.
THE PEACE QUESTION.
If the terms Of peace determined on by
| Count Bismarck and confidentally communi-
Gated by him to Jules Favre, and to no one
else, are not agreed to by the National AS
sembly, which will meet in Bordeaux in few
DAYS, hostilities will be renewed Immediately
after the expiration of the armistice.
SECURING THE WAR INDEMNITY.
Vigorous procedures have been adopted to-
wards Paris in the matter Of securing pledges
for the payment Of the war indemnify. It is
believed that this latter will be fixed at not
less than four milliards of francs (eight hun
dred millions of dollars); but it is anticipated
that Germany will make concessions on other
points.
| APPEARANCE OF TILE GERMAN ARMY.
All the troops before Paris have been fully
reinforced to their utmost war strength.
Many have received new uniforms for the
entry to Paris. The Prussian Guards will
enter the city looking as smart as on church
parade at Potsdam. The new draft has pro-
duccd an unusually fine lot of young fellows,
even for the Prussans. In fact, the entire
German army presents splendid appearance,
the landwehr especially being in wonderfully
good form.
FUTURE MOVEMENTS OF THR TROOPS.
The Fourth Army corps has been ordered
to Chartres Should peace be proclaimed all
the landwehr regiments of infantry and the
reserves Of cavalry and artillery will be imme-
diately sent home and broken up. The troops
of the line, however, will remain In the pro-
vinces annexed to Germany aud in such parts
of France as may be retained till the war
indemnity is paid. The garrisons Of the Alsa-
tian and Lorraine fortresses will require about
| aiXty thousand men,
