VERSAILLES, February 2S.-Last night
at banquet the Emperor showed his
guests the preliminary treaty Of peace,
signed an hour before, and accepted the
fluctuations Of august personages pres
ent The Emperor embraced Won
Moltke and Won Room, and expressed
deep gratitude for the invaluable ser
vices of these officers.
His Majesty's health. viii probably
prevent his reviewing the troops on
horseback, but he certainly will review
Them at Champ de Mars. 1t is the in.
teution of His Majesty to witness the
entry of the llth corps at Encirte
Wednesday morning. His reasons for
doing this are obvious to all who
are acquainted with the state Of public
feeling in Paris and vicinity. The spot
selected for the purpose is kept secret.
The llth corps will have the honor
of being the first Prussian force that
will occupy the capital. At 10 clock
precisely they will enter, with colors
flying and bands playing in full war
strength, 10000 strong, with 90 field
guns. At the end Of three days they
will be relieved by another corps, prob
ably the Guards. The process Of relief
will probably involve the present $4,000
German soldiers within Encirte at one
time. These corps will remain three
davs, and be succeeded by another,
until all have had a turn. The
whole period Of occupation is not yet
defined. Parisians seem to think the
occupation will last only few days.
/ This is not unlikely, but it may prove a
delusive hope, for the occupation may
last many monthse which seems not
improbable from certain indications. AT
present the Germans will be requested
by the authorities Of France to occupy
until anarchy and riot are subdued,
and respect to law insured. The Gov
ernment of which Thiers is at the head,
have resolved to maintain authority
and do it's best to restore order.
There is reason to believe that it is the
intention of the French Government to
disband the whole Imperial army i'm
mediately after they are released from
Germany, and organize a new and
gigantic system OF national defense.
| The old army will be swept away with
unsparing completeness. and prolonged
occupation of Paris by the German
garrison may be an actual necessity OF
these wholesale measures for the re-
generation Of France.
LONDON, March IN. Thiers has
issued a proclamation to the people OF
Paris. He appeals to their patriotism
and wisdom for the preservation OF
order. Famine, says Theirs, compelled
the surrender OF the forts and obliged
the Government to open negotiations.
They were only able to obtain an exten-
sion Of the armistice by consenting to a
partial occupation Of Paris. The French
army will occupy the lett bank Of the
Seine, to secure the execution OF the
convention. Theirs urges the people,
if possible, not to break the convention
and thus entail frightful misfortunes
upon France.
An order to-day, issued by Vinoy, says
the Government unhesitatingly confdes
to the National Guard the care Of the
country. and trusts in their devotion
and intelligence for the maintenance OF
order The least agitation will, says
the General, furnish pretext for an
irreparable misfortune which only calm
ness and dignity can avert.
The proclamation Of Theirs and the
order of Vinoy have produced a good
impression in Paris, but military pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
disorder.
The Eleventh Prussian Corps and
the Bavarians will enter Paris to day.
The Government of Belgium has re-
cognized the French Republic.
Specials from Paris express the
opinion that the city is in a very dis,
turbed state, and say serious occurrences
are apprehended.
| The Lille Memorial newspaper asserts
that large masses Of the populuce OF
Belleville intend to occupy Champs
Elysees Wednesday morning, and to
oppose the Prussians with arms
The Times dispatch says that at a
special meeting Of delegates from the
National Guards it was determined to
resist the entry Of the Germans a
sutrance. Alta meeting Of 1900 National
Guards subsequently,. it was resolved. TO
attack the Hotel de Vile on Tues.
day morning, With Rappo, commander
in Chief 1t was announced that Gov.
ernment having declared the s;>ny had
failed to defend Paris, they, the National
Guards, were ready to do so. Through
want Of confidence and over.iatigue Of
the men the attack upon the
Hotel de Vile failed, and the troops
retreated to Place de Ia Bastile, where
they placed in position some useless
cannon, the serviceable cannon being
restored to the ramparts at Belleville
and Mont Martre. The authorities
stand aloof, in order not to provoke q
collision, but sympathy with the idea ol
resistance is extending, 1t is said that
if the National Guards oppose the entry
Of the Prussians, Vinoy will not inter
