ment has no power to treat for peace.
AN EXPLANATION.
| The government denies that the Prussians
proposed to assimilate the Gardes Mobile with
the National Guard and allow every man to
retain his arms and return home. Jules Favre-
has not ceased in his endeavors to obtain per-
mission for the Gardes Mobile to remain at
their homes.

Commerce, In the absence OF the present

THE THEATRES
The theatres viii not be reopened till after

called ''The Siege of Paris" has already been
advertised for tho Gaieties, and another on
the same ject for the Palais Royal.
RADICAL PAPERS.
The first number Of Henri Rochefort's new
journal, the Mot dOrdre, appeared yester-
day. 1t contains much revolutionary rant
about vengeance. Felix Pyat's new paper
also made its appearance to-day. It is the
successor Of the Combat, recently suppressed
by General Vinoy, and has the Same crew and
colors aboard. 1t declares the empire was
invasion and the republic delverance; the
empire was capitulation, the republic is resist
ance. The republic will survive the armistice,
save France and avenge Paris.
TROCHU'S POSITION.
General Tr0cbu, in declining to become a
candidate for the National Assembly, says =
II only consented to retain tho presidency of
the Government Of National Defence from a
sense Of duty 10 my colleagues and TO my
country. / am about to be discharged from
it; my part must finish with the events with
which it took rise"
The letter from which | have quoted the
foregoing extract was read at one Of the pub
lie meetings, whereupon the assemblagc ex-
claimed, as with one voice, ''The members of
the government arc all cowarls."
THE REvIoTuALMENT.
The government has purchased large sup
plies Of food, but private activity can alone
insure the revictualling of Paris. Provisions
are now permitted to be brought in from any
source.

and one Of Gardes Mobile, the latter being the
regiment which behaved so well in front of the
Hotel de Vile on the 3lst Of October last.
NOT COMPETENT.
Colonel Piezza, accused of melting the
soldiers and people to revolt on the night of
the eth Of January by calling the National
Guard TO arms, was brought before court
martial yesterday. The court declared itself
incompetent to try him, and he was conse-
quently discharged.
FEARS or FAMINE.
The stock of -four in Paris will be exhausted
to-day Saturday and tomorrow the city will
be without bread. Grave fears are expressed
that Paris may, after tomorrow, experience
the horrors of actual starvation. This and
fears of the ultras and Of mob violence makes
the more respectable people even long for the
presence of the Prussians as a protection to
the city.
FEELING AGAINST GAMBETTA.
The feeling against Gambetta is much in
creased. If he continues on his revolutionary
course his arrest will certainly be ordered.

Paris as war contribution. Bonds for an
