The Eleventh Corps, numbering 90,
600, with ninety-six pieces of field artil
Iery and the usual proportion Of cavalry
under command of General Won Bose
advanced IN two columns, one at Port,
Neuilly and the other at Point Du Tour
The former advanced at a pretty rapiC
pace up the avenue-the Grand Armee

The other column, entering at Poin

of the Seine, direct for the Place de ];

columns was fixed.

corner of. the ezce1H1e, which forms Z
point and runs in the shape of an irregu
lar triangle, of which the Seine form:
the east side the eSzcs5nte. from Point dl
Jour to Porte des Terues &on the wes
side; Faubourg HSnore. avenue De.
Terues from Rue Royale to the eEceznke
on the north side or base. The only
points within these limits retained by tht
French are the baking establishment o
the Army of Paris, the 0uai de Bile anC
Pont du Jena.
The triangle was admirably chosen
for strategic purposes, with its right pro
teCted by the Seine and its left by the
ezceiHte. Ten thousand men would bt
able to hold the north side against one
hundred and fifty thousand.
As the troops proceeded along the
line the artillery took positions from
Porte de Neuilly to Place de la Con.
corde, and from Point du Jour to the
same point, as a precautionary measure
Nothing could exceed the splendid
appearance of the troops, despite the
hard service they had seen. The resi-
afforded them during the armistice seems
to have ebliterated most traces Of the
campaign. They turned out in as per
feet order as if On a parade ground al
home.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE ENTRY.
& Herald speeia1.l at9
AT precisely thirteen minutes past 8
the first Prussians were inside Paris.
Directly within the gate six hussars
spread out and. came. up the Avenue
Grand A1zHee at a rapid trot,- sometimes
breaking into hard gallop.
Ten PAGES in advance of these rode a
young officer, about twenty years of age,
sword in hand, it is said selected in hon
or of and as a reward for his great per-
sonal bravery IN the field. The men car
ried carbines resting on their thighs. On
they came at a rattling pace. The young
leader looked SO gallant / could not
help admiring him. A small party dash
ed TO the Arc de 1riomphe, and under
It they went. without drawing bride,
over heaps of stone and sand which had
been left, possibly toprevent their pas
sage,
They sFelned. sharp up at the top of
Champs Elysees with tirailleurs in front.
As / turned towareiahe Arc de TriOmphe,
saw another officer with trumpeter at
his side, galloping UP the avenue, and
behind them at little distance a dozen
or more hussars
A cloud OF infantry was seen approach
ing, but at such a distance that the little
square of cavalry was for a moment en-
tirely unsuppofsea When "A reached
the Arc asked the young officer his
name. He replied. politely. Lieutenant
Won Bernardy, of the Fourteenth Hus-
sars. As he was speaking his Captain
joined the party.
There was an expression that excited
satisfaction about both, but no swagger
After few minutes picquets were de-
tached to each avenue. The men star
ted on. sgallop. but soon returned with
reports. Bernardy sat coolly strol1ing
the nance his horse with his saber,
not noticing the rapidly grow
ing crowd which his arrival had provok-
ed.
More hussars soon came riding up.
By 81 o'clock the whole squadron as
sembled on the NeuiIly side of the Arc.
A mob of two hundred looked on with
a mixture of Indifference and indigna-
ton. There was no external sign of
rage.
At quarter of 9 the staff arrived,
with General Won Kamecke in front,
followed by fifty officers, with all arms
and in all sorts of uniforms. They did
not stop, but rode down the Champs
Elysees to the house of Queen Christina,
where their headquarters were establish

PARTICULARS OF THE GER
MAN ENTRY INTO PARIS.
Herald Special.
PARIS. March z.--(Evening) The
troops, in some cases, on entering the
CITY, were mobbed. and narrowly escap-
ed injury. Some persons near the Arc de
Triomphe congratulated themselves on
the difficulty experienced by the Prus-
sian cavalry in getting over the heaps of
sand and stones. They pointed to the
Arc and said, Wait till we enter Berlin.
The Germans took no notice of the in
suits. At I:I5 the head of the German
troops advanced up the Grande Avenue.
After the dragons came Bismarck, then
Dukes Saxe-Coburg and Nuremberg,
Leopold of Bavaria, General Adelbert,
and Prince Charles of Prussia. When
the PrUssian infantry passed under the
Arc de Triomphe, they were received by
the crowd with whistling, screams and
derisive shouts. Squadrons of hussars
came next. Bismarck did not enter the
Arc de Triomphe, but turned round and
rode back to Neuilly. The grandest part
of the military spectacle was the march
along the Champs Elysees. with bayo-
nets and helmets glirtering IN the sun,
and flags torn by battle huttering in the
breeze. A crowd of men and boys block
ing the way were dispersed by the Uhlans.
The Uhlans and Bavarians are especial
ly hated. The troops looked splendidly,
and surprised the French, who owned
they could not beat them. All is quiet,
but the authorities are still apprehensive.
