PARIS.

4 The PRELIMINARY treaty OF peace signed dn
hour before and accepted the Fluctuations
of the august personages present. The
Emperor embraced Won Moltke and Won
Room and expressed deep gratitude for
the invaluable services of these officers.
His Majesty's health will probably pre-
vent his reviewing tine troops on horse
back, but he certainly viii review, them
on the Champ De Mars. 1t is the inten-
ton of his Majesty to witness the entry
of the eleventh corps at the enciente
Wednesday morning. His reasons for
doing this are obvious to all who are &C
quainted with the state of public feeling
in Paris and the vicinity. The spot Sc
lectedfor the purpose is kept secret. The
| eleventh corps will have the honor of be-
ing the first Prussian force that will Oc-
cupy the capital. At 10 o'clock precisely,
they will enter with colors flying and
bands playing, in full war strength, 30,
600 strong with SO field guns. At the
end of three days they will be relieved
by another corps, probably the guards.
The process, it is believed, will probably
involve the presence of 10000 German
soldiers within the enciente at one time.
Each corps will remain three days and be
succeeded by another until all have had
| their turn.
The whole period of occupation has
not yet been defined. The Parisiaus
| seem to suppose the occupation will last
only few days. This is not unlikely,
but it may prove delusive hope, for the
occupation may last many months, which

requested by the authorities of France TO-
occupy the city until anarchy and riot
are subdued and respect for the law in

is at the head are resolved to maintain
authority and do its best to restore order.
NapOieon's Army to be Disbanded.
There is reason to believe it is the in
tention of the French Government to dis
band the whole imperial army immedI-
ately as they are released from captivity
in Germany and organize a new and
gigantic system of national defence, the
old army to be swept away with unspar-
ing completeness, and prolonged occu-
patton of Paris by German garrison
may be an actual necessity of these
wholesale measures for the regeneration
of France.
The first installment of the indemnity
will be EGO, 100000; and on the pay
ment of a second like amount the evacu-
alton of the Lower Seine will Immedi-
ately take place A treaty of commerce
between France and PRUSSIA or the terms
accorded to the most favored nation is
one of the stipulations of the treaty of
peace.
Proclamation to- the I'eepIe from
President Theirs.

He appeals to their patriO ism and wis
dom for the preservation of order.

were only able to obtain an extension of
the armistice by conserving to a partial
occupation Of Paris. The French army
will occupy the left bank of the Seine to
secure the execution of the convention.
Theirs urges the Ecople not to break the
convention d hus entail fIightful mis-
fortunes upOA France.
An order of the day, issued by VinOy,
says the Government unhesitatingly con-
fides TO the National Garde the Gre Of
the city, and trusts in their devotion and
intelligence I, r the maintenance of order.
The least agitation, he says, will furnish
q pretense for irreparable misfortune,
which only calmness and dignity can
avoid.
The proclamation of Theirs and the
order of Vrnoy have produced, great
impression on Paris, but military precau.
tons have been taken to prevent disor-
der.
The 18th Prussian corps and the Ba-
varians will enter Paris to day.
The Government of Belgium has rec
ognized the French Republic.
