The last levy Of Prussian landwehr will be

Lin paper, as garrison troops, and In guarding tue
prisoners. The real army and erscz reserve
yiz those below the regulation stature, VINO,
however, are In general quite fit to take the neld
and are taller than the French-has not been call
ed out So far, therefore, from Prussia having
row exhausted her reserve forces, there are at
least 200 900 men on whose services TO call has
been made.
At Metz the Germans are giving every indica-
tion of their Intention to retain permanent pos
session. A strong police force has been estao-
ltshed, and the postal and judicial arrangements
are not at all Of a provisional character. An
East Prussan regiment has been ordered TO
transport all It's equipments and stores to hetz,
as 1t win subsequently garrison the place. Ger
man artisans and merchants are already begin
ming to settle there, and a considerable accession
ts expected as soon as peace Is concluded. On

The London Tines correspondent at Berlin
writes: GAS for General Trochu's supposed in
tention to retreat to Mont valerien and some
other FORTS and there hold out after the sur
render Of the city, the Germans will not permit
him TO carry It out. For the captulatlon OF Paris
to be accepted It must include the city and the
forts Until the whole OF the metropolis with oil
IT'S ramparts and redoubts, is given over, the In
habitants Will be doomed to hunger. The task OF
reducing Mont Valerlen will devolve upon the Pa
risians, not upon the Germans. Itwould cost the
latter many lives; the former will have to con-
vince their commander-ln-chief that France can
not be benefited by condemning Paris to starya-
tion. Napoleon III continues to be treated with
every mark Of attention. With the heavy fall OF
snow which has occurred In all Germany, some
sleiges have come to him straight from the Royal
stables at Berlin"
