FOREIGN DISPATCHES
FRANCE.

THEIRS DEMANDS INSTANT ACTION.
BORDEAUX, February 2S.-After
reading the conditions Of peace Theirs
said, as for himself and his colleagues,
they had gone to the limit of their
responsibility, and the Assembly
must be accountable for the rest. No
member could abstain from voting in
the present state Of circumstances.
The Assembly decided to meet this
afternoon in committee, and hold a
public sitting at noon tomorrow.
The Assembly Chamber is strongly
guarded by troops, and the city is
tranquil. An evening session Of the
Assembly demanded the immediate
discussion Of the treaty. The PROPOSE
tiOn was opposed by several deputa-
tiOns from AlsaCe and Paris.
Thiers energetically appealed to the
Assembly to lose no time, that it was
necessary the treaty should be dis
CUssed without the least delay, and
that the Assembly might thus spare
Paris from great suffering. The gov
eminent could not feel responsible for
the consequences Of delay.
IDEA OF RESISTING GERMANS EX-
TENDING
LONDON, March IA Lille dis
patch saws the Memorial newspaper
asserts. that large masses Of the pOpu-
lace of Belleville intend to occupy the
Champs Eiysees on Wednesday morn
ing, and oppose the Prussians with
arms.
A Times dispatch says: AT a spe-
cial meeting Of delegates from the
National Guards, it was determined
to resist the entry Of the Prussians.
A meeting Of fifteen hundred Ma
tiOnal Guards subsequently resolved
to attack the Hotel de Vile on Tues
day morning, and appointed a COM
mander in-chief, who announced that
as the Government had declared the
army had failed to defend Paris, they
(the National Gnards) were ready to
do so. Through a want Of COmbina-
ton and the fatigue of the men, the
attack upon the Hotel de Vile failed,
and the troops retreated to Place de
la Bastile, where they were placed in
possession Of some useless cannon.
The serviCeablec cannon are restored to
the rampant at, Belleville and Mont
martre. The authorities stand alOOt
in order not to provoke a collision by
sympathy with the idea of resistance,
which is extending. It is said that il
the National Guards oppose the entry
of the Prussians, NinOy will not inter-
fere, but will withdraw his army. The
authorities are greatly embarrassed by
the condition OF affairs, There il
much indignation at the removal of
the wounded from the Palace de In
dUstrie to make room for the Prus-
SLAMS.
AN APPEAL FROM THEIRS.
Theirs has issued a proclamation to
the people Of Paris, in which he ap-
peals to their patriotism and wisdom
for the preservation Of order. He says
famine compelled the surrender of the
forts and obliged the Government to
open negotiations. They were only
enabled to obtain an extension OF the
armistice by cOnseDting to a partial
occupation Of Paris. The French army
will occupy the left bank of the Seine,
to secure the execution Of the COnVen-
ton. Theirs urges the people not to
break up the Convention and thus
entail frightful misfOrtunes upon
France.
The order of to-day, issued by
Vinoy, says the Government unhesi-
tatingly confldes to the National
Guards the care Of the city, and trusts
to their devotion and intelligence for
the maintenance Of order. Agitation,
he says, will furnish pretense for ire
parable misfortune, which only calm
ness and dignity can avoid.
The proclamation Of Theirs and or
der Of NinOy have produced a good
impFessian in Paris, but military pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
disorder.
