Bill for the Reorganization OF the
English Army.

dispatch says the principal points o.
Cardwelrs bill on reorganization of the
army, which will be brought forward
tomorrow as the great event of the
session, are, that the purchase system
will be abolished and promotions will
be made by the fair system of seniority
and selection. The Horse Guards will
be removed to the War Office, thereby
abolishing the Dual Cant, so long de
nounced. The appointment of com
mander-in-chief will be in future limited
to term Of five years, and that officer
will be the head of discipline and pa
trenage only. This is not directed
against the Duke of Cambridge special
ly, but is in the interest Of future dis
ciple. The department will have q
force always ready which will be fixed
at 100000, with a strong reserve ot
militia newly organized, SO as to work
with the regular army. Volunteers
will be left as they are, but they will be
required to give the War Office guaran
tees Of their efficiency. This measure
is shrewdly designed to head off an an
ticipated conservative attack on the
War Office management, and it is In
tended to win over the radicals TO the
support Of the administration on that
dangerous issue.
Arms Surrendered At Paris.
VERSAILLES, February l5.-Among
the surrendered arms Of the garrison ol
! Paris are 100000 muskets, ard l40C
brass pieces. The number of iron
guns on the walls is not yet ascertained
Ii was intended at one time to invite
the reigning sovereigns Of Germany to
accompany the Emperor and army in
their triumphal entry into Paris, but the
plan has been abandoned and the sover'
eigns invited, instead, to attend lils
Majesty in his grand entrance into his
own capital.
King Williams TriumPhal March,
1t is still undecided at what time the
Emperor will return TO Germany, but
| it is thought he will leave Versailles on
the 23d, travelling through Strasbourg
Carlsruhe Stuttgart and Munich, and
visiting on the way sovereigns who
elected him Emperor, and who will fall
into the train to grace his triumphant
entry into Berlin. The Emperor will
be in Berlin March Sth, when the first
Diet of United Germany meets
| Princes who have been attached to
Headquarters throughout the war are
returning home.
Don't Look Much Like the End o'
the War.
There are no signs Of the slightest re
Taxation OF discipline in the German
army, and no indication that they con-
slider their work finished On the con-
trary, every thing here is suggestive OF
the beginning instead Of the close OF a
compaisn. The Germaus are taking
every precaution in case OF renewal
OF war, and will be ready to prosecute
it with unusual vigor. twenty-five
divisions Of infantry, which have been
at Mendon since the beginning OF the
siege, returned Yesterday to Rouen, to
ioin the remainder of their corps.
Dissatisfaction is felt at the presence
OF Chausey and Fadherbe in Paris. 1t
| is thought an oversight in framing the
srmistice permits these Generals, under
pretense of voting, TO communicate
with the authorities in Paris. The re-
sult of the election at Bordeaux Is
highly satisfactory and reassuring.
NapoleOn's Proclamation.
An unfavorable impression is pro-
duced here by Napoleon's proclama'
ton. 1t is asked what right has he. a
prisoner OF war, to put forth procla'
nation or manifesto OF any kind
A special correspondent who had an
interview with Favre, telegraphs that
he said the elections eyinced an uneH'
pected reaction against a Republic. The
country is alarmed at the hands of the
Monarchists. 1t is not probable that
the Orleanists will be successful. The
Princes are too wise and patriotic to
involve the country in civil war. A
Republic will unavoidably be adopted.
Term. Of Peace Moderate-Painful
! Disclosures.
! LONDON, February l6.-A Berlin
special to the Times telegraphs that the
terms Of peace proposed by Bismarck
are comparatively moderate.
The Paris Cochs says a communlca'
ton to the government by Chausey
proves that the victory bulletins oI
Gsmbetta were exaggerated accounts Of
successes for the purpose of fostering the
hopes of the people. Chauzy has made
some painful disclosures as to the condi'
ton Of the army, and advises France
10 postpone revenge.
+ The Prussians have exacted contrl'
I button of nineteen thousand francs from
the commune OF Jaraque, aud the
money not forthcoming, they carried
off the mayor and countess OF Mont
gomery as hostages.
