attended with disorder and bloodshed.
Some of the Paris newspapers allude in an
excited manner to this prospective tri-
umphal march of the Germans, and the
Reforme, in an article opposing it, predicts
a bloody encounter between them and the
citizens. A majority Of the journals, how
ever, counsel tho citizens to remain in
doors, and display mourning emblems
during the passage of the victorious army
through the city. A dispatch from Yer
salles states that the Emperor William,
though unwell, persists in his determina-
ton to enter the city. The same dispatch
also states, in conflict with all recent dis
patches, that resumption of hostilities is
strongly apprehended at headquarters, in
view of which the destruction of the mon

Berlin advices estimate the numerical
