PARIS, March 1.-The majority of the
newspapers in the city will suspend publ
cation to-day, and will in all likelihood not

of the departments south of the Seine, will
cease Immediately on the acceptance and
ratification of the treaty by the National
Assembly. The occupation of the other de-
partmats will also cease after payment OF

whole Indemnity.

out Wholesome measures for the regeneIa a
