VERSAILLES, February 10.
strong belief prevails at Prussan heodquar
ters that the French Assembly Will form Provis.
,onal Government under the Count de Paris as
President, and provide by plebscite a future gov
ernment.
Yesterday so field guns and 10000 rides were
delivered atIvry and vanVres. Things look gloomy
today, and an explanation Of the cause Is that
Paris may be entered before the 18th. Prepara-
tions are making for heavy bombardment should
possible complications occur. The attitude Of the
city is apathetIc and q reaction is expected. Ar
rangements for supplying food are working toler'
ably. Should the Assembly reject peace the war
will be resumed with uuspsrlng vigor, and Paris
will be heavily mulcted.

LONDON, February II. =
The Times views with mixed feelings the ap-
pointment OF commission for the settlement OF
intangible grievances. A settlement is desirable,
but unhappily treaty has already been rejected
by the American Senate, indicating but a.slght
desire on the part OF Americans to remove the
grounds OF difference between the two Countries.
When the principle Of the Alabama claims Is de.
termlned, the settlement OF individual claims will
be an easy matter. The Times adds: The tone Of
the American discussion must change in all re-
snec;s before COOL feeling is restored.
