are anxious to fight under competent leader

daily per mani The poorest people receive
bread gratis, With q Pint Of wine each, and
little soup daily. The middle classes suffer
most severely.

housebolders. Eatablcs, drinkabes aud fuel
are TO be duly paid for after the siege is raised,
although no provision seems to be made should
the city capitulate and the Prussians enter. 1t

to eat. The population complain of short al-
lowances of bread. The amount is totally inad'
equate for the public wants. Potatoes are al
lowed to be sold again, but, unfortunately, very
few are left, and an eXorbitant price is charged
for them.
