| PARIS, Feb. 5.-Intense suffering prevails here.
| Hundreds are dying daily of starvation The
| food received is wholly inadequate.
| VERSAILLES, Feb. 6.-Herald special: Our
correspondent, who mas been inside Paris, since
the investment, has returned, and giyeS the fol-
lowing account of the city after the surrender.
Since the COZ cusion of the armistice great tran
guilty prevails, and general expression of sat
isfaction and relief is shown by ever one The
suppression of nightly clubs led to many out
door meetings. On more than one occasion
| women addressed crowds, melting assaults on
the hotel de Vile, and angriy inveighing against
| the men. Their harangues, however, were GEN
| orally received with apathy and Indifference.
| An attempt was made on Sunday morning to
| institute universal pillage. The national guard
were called out and its members availed them
selves of the opportunity to fill their own pock-
cts. Since Monday night the decree suppressing
clubs has been annulled, and open air ceilings
have consequently ceased.
Several proclamatiOns, signed by obscure in
diyiduals, have appeared on the walls, melting
resistance to the government, and refusing to
accept the armistce. Although generally read,
| they are treated with indifference. The sailors
retired from the forts with great reluctance. The
| commandant at Montrouge has committed sui
eide. The French government refuses to give
any but personal passes, which are obtained
with great difficulty. The Parisians are under
the impression that the Prussian troops will not
enter Paris. They are still ignorant of the full
terms OF capitulation. The price of provisions
has not yet been lowered. Of hc100,000 horses
originally in Paris, $4,000 have been killed for
food. Cabs have entirely disappeared
1t would be highly dangerous for Germans, in
small parties, to be seen in the capital. The ex-
change Of wounded and prisoners is proceeding
at the gates OF Versailles.
During the siege there were only five suicides
IN Paris, OF whom two were soldiers and one
woman. The whole army of Investment will
march throug the Arc de TrionDhe, the avenue
del Imperatrice, rue de Riyoli and rue st. An
tome, simply for the purpose OF passing through
Paris The houses on either side of the route
will be cleared of their inhabitants and occupied
by German troops.
THE BORDEAUX DEMONSTRATION.
BORDEAUX, Feb. 6.-The demonstration to-
day in favor of the Bordeaux government and
its decree disqualilying office-hoders under the
empire from election TO the national assembly,

cession consisted of about seven hundred per
sons, and was headed by Garibaldian colonel
named Middleton. The rest of the crowd in the
street were spectators. The project of Bordeaux
received equation, aud, Gambetta oeing en-
crossed by public duties, the project read the
following declaration from Gambetta, on behalf
of the Bordeaux delegation: Faithful to the
programme of the nation, and of freedom to
arms, as well as to ballot boxes, we arc now oc-
cGpied in a council Of war, celebrating upon
the means of prohting by the armistce."
