PlLrIg, and the vIcInIty gsIeoted toE De

Paris, and the vicinity selected for the
| purpose is kept a secret.
The Eleventh corps will have the
honor of being the first Prussian force
that will occupy the capital, at ten
| O'Clock, precisely. They will enter
with cOlOrs flying and bands playing,
1 in full war strength, 10000 strong,
with ninety-six field guns. At the
end of three days they are to be re-
HeVed by another corps, probably the
! guards. The process Of relief viii
! probably involve the presence Of Co.
| 600 German soldiers within the en-
! ciellte at one time. Each corps g7ill
remain three days and be succeeded
| by another, until the whole
army has held it in turn. The
whole period of their occupation has
not vet been defined. Parisians
seem to suppose the occupation viii
last only few days. This is not IN
likely, but it may prove a delusive
hope, for the occupation may last
many months, which seems not i'm
probable. From certain indications
at present the Germans may be re-
queated by the authorities OF France
to occupy the city until anarchy and
riot is subdued and respect for the laws
insured by a government Of which
Thiers is at the head, resolved to
maintain its authority and do its best
to restore order and reason. We be-
lieve it is the intention of the French
government to disband the whole i'm
perial army Immediately after they
are released from captivity in Ger
many, and organize new and gigau-
tie system OF national defense, and the
old army will be swept away with
unsparing OHpleteness, and the pro-
lOnged occupation Of Paris by a
German garrison may be an actual
necessity. These. are wholesome mea-
sures for the regeneration of France.
The first fnstalment Of indemnity will
be s2O, 600, 600, and on the payment Of
a second like amount and the evacu-
alton of the Seine, a treaty will COM
menCe between France and Prussia
on terms accorded to most favored
nations.
GERMANS IN PARIS.
Special to New York World
PARIS, March 1.-The head column
Of the Eleventh corps, under General
Won Boil, is just entering the Porte
du Jour, in Porte Maillet, and is
moving toward Arc dU TriOmphe. |
No hostile movement by the pOpu-
lace has as yet been seen, and the
prospect Of a collision is diminishing.
HOW THEY MARCHED IN.
SpeclsI to the New York Herald
PARIS, March 1, nOOn.-The first
representative corps of the victorious !
army entered within the encientes
under the eye Of His Imperial Maj |
esty.
In accordance with the programme, !
and favored by splendid weather, the |
Eleventh corps, numbering thirty |
thousand men, with ninety six pieces |
OF field artillery and the usual proper |
ton Of cavalry, under command Of |
General Won Boil, advanced in two !
columns, one entering at Porte Neu- |
lily and the other at the Porte dU Jour. |
The first column advanced at a |
pretty rapid pace up the avenue /
Grand Armee, direct for Arc de Tri- |
Omphe, the French troops vacating /
the streets as the Germans ap-
preached: the other column entering /
at Porte Du Jour, below AnteUi, |
commenced marching along the quay /
on the north side Of the Seine, direct |
for Place de la Concord, where they |
rendezvous. As the troops pro- |
ceeded. along the line the artillery |
took a position from Port du Neuilly |
to the Place de La C0ncOrde, and from |
Point 5U Jour to the same point, as a |
precautionary measure. Nothing |
could exceed the splendid appear !
ance Of the troops. They turned /
out in specific order, as if
on their parade ground at home. !
From six to nine O'Clock all the !
chief thOroughfares were disturbed. !
The districts now quiet. There are !
few persons about the streets. Shops !
are closed and the aspect of the city |
desOlate. The Nationals are posted /
as pick3ts on every avenue, with lines !
of sentries across the streets to pre-
vent soldiers from going beyOund the /
line OF demarkatiOn. From ten /
to twelve o'clock the same as
pect was generally presented, /
with more persons in the streets
in small crowds and more Nationals /
on duty. Most Of the women
who are out, are in mourning, going
to or coming from mass. The men
are depressed in spirits and their con-
versatiOn is on the unfortunate state
of Paris and France, but no threats
against the Government are made.
At9 o'clock am the head of the
Prussia1 advance was seen rounding
the Arc de TriOmphe. A few, both
men and women, we're seen hurrying
away in tears, and only boys and a
few WOrkmen were left. Not the
slightest attempt to create a disturb
ance occurred, and the conduct Of the
people was admirable.
A few Uhlans rode down to the
Place de la ConcOrde, where they
were viewed with derision by the
faces of the statues covered with
Grape. The Germans were astOnished
at the mOurnful aspect Of the city
The Onlv incident observed was a fol
lowing Frenchman, respectfully dress
ed, who went up and spoke to a Hus
sar, when a workman near by hit and
kicked the former severely.
