Continuing, your correspondent wrftes:-The u.

Trochu-should the Germans be permitted to enter
Paris. On the other hand some OF the fashionable
snopkeepers rub their hands complacently and con-
gratulate themselves with having good supply Of
articles on their shelves ana counters with which
to tempt the German princes when they enter the
/, capital.
FIERCE RESISTANCE PREDICTED
Nevertheless, firmly believe that the resistance OF
Paris to the besiegers VIII be unparalleled In the
annals OF war. The bomDardment OF the city has
greatly enraged the population, and all are eager
to go out and fight. Every Trenchman swears to
be rev nged il France has to wait for generation
to come for the accomplishment of revenge. Peace
Is only looked upon as means OF resuscitating the
army and preparing the country for all INVASION OF
Germany at some future day.
TRocHU's STAFF CHARGED WITH TREASON.
The spy mania has taken new impetus in conse-
quence of an article In the Steele charging treason
upon some members Of General Trochu's staff
The Steele says that the Governor OF Paris is sur
rounded with officers who discourage the defenders
of the capital. who call the defence OF Paris "mad-
ness" and who declare that the Prussans can enter
the city whenever they wish.
SUSPICION GENERAL.
Ever since the affair at Argcnteuil, when several
officers and men went over to the Germans every
body has regarded everybody else with suspicion.
Only yesterday dandily dressed Franc-tireu was
arrested In the streets on suspicion OF being spy,
because his hair was naxen ana lie narrowly es-
caped. with his life from the fury OF mob.
TRoCHU ON THE REPORTS OF TREASON.
Reports having become prevalent that General
Schmitz had been or was TO be arrested and that
two des-de-camp had been shot for treason, Gen.
eral Trochu issued the following proclamation on
the subject. He says
An abomnable plot of which the proofs are

suspicion and belief that certain Generals and
other officers or the Army OF Paris about to
be arrested on a charge OF giving the enemy infor

TROCHU.
! REAL SPY.
real spy has been found in the person or man
named Hoh, who won renown from supposed
boldness displayed in several expeditions against
the Germans. The story was that MS father had
been killed at Laverne and that after his death lie
had taken his sword and ent red the army to
avenge him. In all daring expeditions he was gene

while he mad undertaken to give the Germans infor-
nation. His real name was Heutzel. He disap-
peared altogether sh ort time ago, and is supposed
to have been killed. His loss was much mourned,
and subscription was raised for the woman with
who m he lived. When visited by the officers this
woman became much alarmed and let out the
secret Of Heutzels treachery
EFFECT OF THE B0MBARDMENT.
The bombardment, although severe has had no
particular result yet La salpetriere the hospital
for the aged and insane, containing three thousand
innrm women and fifteen hundred lunatics, and the
Ivry Asylum, containing three hundred wounded
men, were struck the night OF the 10th inst. by
fifteen shells.
MAKING THE BEST OF BAD BARGAIN
large majority Of the inhabitants OF the bonn
barded districts have changed, or are changing,
their residences to safer quarters. Those who still
remain In the neighborhood OF the Rue Mouretard
have retreated with their beds the cellars many
OF which are decorated In the most picturesque
