of the Empress, Trochu and Fayre.

will return to Berlin on Tuesday, leaving
the Crown Prince In command Of the
! Prussians.

nothing politically, nor do they assure an
end of the war All depends upon the as

ment among the French in london.
DISPOSITION OF YRENcH AND PRUssIAE
FORCES IN AND ABOUT PARIS.
VERSAILLES, January 29.-V Valerien
was entered last night by the Prussian
engineers to draw the mines. Heavy guns
viii be Immediately moved into the forts,
and the enciente strongly armed, as no
confidence can be placed in the tickle pop
/ ulation of Paris until after q general dis
arming. Strong forces of infantry and ar
tillery were moved forward to cover the
working parties. The object is to spare
further bloodshed, and give an opportuni-
ty to the French people, through the
Assembly of Representatives at Bordeaux
to decide for war or peace. Elections will
be permitted in all departments, together
with the free circulation Of the deputies
through the country. OF the army OF
Paris, the regiments of the line, maries
and mobiles are to be prisoners OF war,
with the exception of 1900 men, who
are required to maintain order IN Paris.
All corps of francs-tireurs are to be dis
solved, but the national guard will remain
armed. The French troops will deliver up
their arms and figs and field artillery
within fourteen days, all of which will be
|
may retire into Paris unarmed. The can
mons on the forts are to be delivered, but
the enciente guns are to be dismounted,
the carriages to be delivered to the Prus-
SLAMS, but the guns themselves are to be
| left at line of fdemarkation, drawn between
the enciente and forts. The French por-
ton extends to the enciente only, the
Prussian portion to five hundred PAGES
from the enciente, with certain topograph-
ical notifications. Fort Vincennes will
remain in the hands of the French. Paris
remains completely invested from mill
| tary point of view, but three railroad
lines will be repaired and permitted to
convey sufficient supplies for the daily
nourishment of the population. Bourba-
! kl's army and the fortress of Belfort are
not comprehended IN the armistice. The
| Prussian line of demarkation for the
southern armies Is to be the line of the
Loire. FaVre returned to Paris yesterday
evening. General Velden, chief of Vinoy's
staff. and Captain Harrison, aid of Trochu,
with three directors of the Mediterranean,
Orleans and Western railroads, accompa-
MED him.
Not moro than a weeks ratlons remain
in Paris at the yresent time. The French
at Versailles ares generally rejoiced at the
opproach of peace.
By the latest reports of negotiations it
appears that Bismarck demands two pro-
vinces, one colony, twenty war ships and
four million francs as the final terms of
peace. The capitulatien will only be re-
garded as a military act, apart from all
political negotiations.
