RejOicings at the Conclusion of Pence.
The New York Herald has a special
dispatch from Paris, dated March 3,
from which we make the following ex-
tracts
"The avenues are almost deserted.
There is an extraordinary scene at the
Arc de Trlomphe. Two pieces of artil-
lery have been u~nlimbered, and the
gunners are near at hand, ready to
sweep every avenue radiating from the
Arch. There is also a strong guard of
infantry, with their arms piled, biv-
ouacked in the vicinity. The soldiers
are singing from song-books, by the
light of camp-tires. There is much diff
ference in their temper, some f~raterniz-
ing with the blouses, exchanging cigars
and drinking wine, while others will
not allow strangers near their fires. All
are boasting of the conquest of Alsace
and Lorraine, yet are glad that the war
is over, that they may get back to the
Fatherland. No one is allowed under
the Arch. In the Place de la Concorde,
there is a strong guard of Bavarians
lying on the ground in front of the
gates of the Tuileries. A Bavarian ser
try was picking immortelles from the
statue of Strasbourg, when a Frenchman
who was passing cried, Bewarer At

Large bodies of guards were stationed
around the watch-fires.
Gas the Germans leave Paris this
morning (3d), the papers reappear. The
DebatS says: In spite of the patriotism
of Alsace, Lorraine and Metz, they
must lass under the control of Ger
many. france cannot continue The
war. The future does pot belong to US,
but following generations will take en-
geance. We can only say three words ::
/" Silence" Patience -. The other
we dare not pronounce but we have
no right to decide for future genera
tions. They can act freely, and decide
how to act The same paper blames the
of sightseeing. 'They ought not it
says to gaze on the Prussians.'
"a lady friend says the German sol
diers are quartered very clearly, and,
though awkward, are vastly superior to
the French, and handsomer. They
nave been first-rate customers to the
French shop-keepers for wines and
CIGARS
Another dispatch, dated Friday noon,
says:
"The Prussian occupation of Paris
has ended. The evacuation commenced
last night, though it was not generally
known at 6 this morning hat it had be-
gun. In regular order, with the cavalry
and artillery in the advance, and on the
sidewalk the Prussian and Bavarian in
fantry facing the roadway, at $3.50 the
first men of the main body passed
through the Arc de Triomphe, with
bands playing and colors flying. Right
straight under the Arch-the obstacles
having been removed At the side of the
column-Gen.~ Schackeer, commanding
the Eleventh Corps, was stationed, and
received the saiutes of the men in pass
ing. Many of the men wore evergreens
in their helmets, and one regiment wore
laurel. At 9 o'clock the Bavarian artil-
lery end infantry, proceeding with full
bands, arrived. A few minutes after
ward the head Of the Prussian column
reached the Arch, marching in column
sections. The morning had hitherto
been foggy, but the sun now burst out
~gloriously, making everything appear
grand. The troops cheered loudly, and
the tattered appearance of their colors,
borne proudly, attracted the attention
of the French. Next came a crowd of
princes and some dragons then the
Eleventh Regiment of Jaeger Guards,
and the Prussian artillery"
A dispatch from Amiens, dated the
Sd, says; ..
Inc greatest Joy ana enthusiasm at
the announcement of the conclusion of
peace nave been manifested at the
headquarters of and throughout the
First Army Corps. The French com-
mandant has requested the German
General in command to give him arms
for two companies, and also two can
non, to preserve the peace, as the work
men intend making a riotous demon
s~tration when the German troops shall
have evacuated Paris"
The Preliminaries of Peace.
The preliminaries of peace arranged
by Bismarck and the other plenipoten-
tiaries with Theirs and Favre, are as
follows
Article l specifies the line of demarcation.
Article 2 provides that France will pay Ger
many five milliard francs-one milliard at
least in 1871, and all the rest in the space of
three years from the ratification. Article 3
provides that evacuation is to commence on
the ratification of the treaty by the Assem-
bly, that the German troops will then imme-
diately quit Paris and the left bank of the
Seine, and also the Departments of Indre,
Loire, and the Seine-Inferieure The French
troops will remain behind the Loire until
the signing of the definitive treaty of peace,
except those in Paris, where the Government
is not to have exceeding 40 900 troops. The
Germans will evaeuate the right bank of the
Seine gradually after the signing of the de-
fnitive treaty and the payment of half a
milliard francs. After the aymen of two
milliards, the Germans will only hold the
Departments of Marine, Ardennes, Meuse,
Vosges, Meurthe, and the town of Belfort.
After the payment of three milliards, the
Germans will only keep $4,000 troops in
France but if a sufficient money guarantee
be given, the Germans will evacuate COM
pletely at once; otherwise, three milliards
will carry interest at five per cent. from the
ratification of the treaty. Article 4 provides
that the German troops make no further
will find food for the army in occupation of
the coded departments, that favorable ar
rangements will be made with the inhabi-
tants, and time given them to move if they
please and that no obstacle will be placed
in the way of emigration. Article 6 pro-
vides that the prisoners will be Immediately
liberated on the ratification of the treaty,
and that the French railways will lend
their carriages and engines at the same
prices as to the French Government. Arti-
Gle Z provides that the treaty will be def
nitely signed at Brussels Immediately after
the ratification. Article 8 provides that al
ter the ratification the management of all
the departments occupied will be handed
over to the French officials, subject to Ger
man commanders, in the interest of German
troops. Article 9 provides that it be well
thority over the departments not occupied
by them.
