peror several times, the armstice has
been extended until Sunday.
In consequence of certain prepare
tons made in the south of France for
calling into service the military class of
1872, Bismarck will consent to prolong
the armistice only five days.
Dissatisfaction is felt at the presence
of Chanzy and Faidherbe in Paris. 1t is
thought that an oversight in framing the
armistice permits these generals, under
pretense of voting, to communicate with
the authorities in Paris.
A letter from Gen. Trochu con-
dennis the proposed entry Of the Ger
mans into Paris. He says Paris has de-
served the honors of war, and advises
her to shut her gates and let the enemy
open them with cannon.
-Chanzy has issued proclamation to
the Army Of the Loire. He urges the
troops to put the time of their enforced
rest to profit, and prepare for resuming
the struggle outrance, if arrogant terms
are demanded by the Germans.
The Paris Figaro says: 4" 1t is report

The steamship Riga cleared from

800 eases harness. 6,2S4 cases ammuni-
| ton, 35S ammunition chests, 50 cases

From information received, it is be-
lieved that the commanders of the diff
ferent French armies are universally of
the opinion that a continuance Of the
war at the present time, with any rea
sonable prospect of success, is utterly
impossible. Garibaldi, it is said, has
recently expressed himself to the same
effect.
An official advertisement appears in
the journal at Weisenburg, giving di-
rections for levying and distribution of
acquisitions. 1t contains a notice to
German officers and military officials
that they are entitled to receive during
| the armistice fifteen francs extra pay
per day, which will be procured by spc-
cal requisition on occupied territory.
The official Honteu says: = France
must decide upon war or peace immedi-
ately. Delay deteriorates the strength
of Germany. France has long known
| the conditions whereon Germany is
ready to conclude peace. These are based
upon the injuries formerly inflicted and
guarantees for the future. Compared
with the injuries, the demands are mode
rate, and the longer the delay the harder
will be the conditions. We hope this is
understood at Bordeaux. If the German
terms are rejected war continues"
In the National Assembly, Theirs
delivered n speech in his capacity as
| Chief Executive of the French Republic.
He dwelt upon the distress and suffering
which had been caused by the war and
the German invasion, and on the neces-
sity of peace. Nevertheless. said Theirs,
the terms of peace will be courageously
discussed with the Prussians, and will
only be accepted if consistent with the
honor Of France. "The task OF the
administration is to pacity and reorganize
the country, restore its credit, and reor-
ganize labor When this is accomplished
the country itself will decide its des-
