LONDON Jan. 29.-The following is the con-

that city,
FLoURENs DISAPPEARS.
It is notable fact that Flourens, who was
prominent among the rioters before a shot was
fired, was not seen again after the fret dis
charge.
STRINGENT MEASURES.
This morning an official order has been issued
which forbids future meetings of clubs and
suppresses two incendiary journals-~the Combat
and the ReUeit. The people generally approve
the firm stand against the rioters by General
Vinoy.
THE CHANGE OF RULERs-TRocHUs INcoMPE-
TENCY.
Indeed, much satisfaction is felt at the great
change effected in rulers during the past forty
eight hours. A few weeks ago it would have
been regarded as treason to oppose Trochu; now
he is removed from command, If not actually
degraded. For many days past 1t had been
evident that such must be his fate. All are
willing to admit his personal honesty, bravery,
and consceR tousness; but few, If any, are will
now upon the country. His four months rule
have been four months of DEGREES, procama-
tions, and promises, but not one successful fight
He even failed to organize the army during the
four months, for it is now little better than an
armed mob.
vINoY's RESPONSIBILITY.
General Vinoy is now the real spirit of the
| defense. Although, unfortunately toe late to
| hope he gets the responsibility of future events
| when every chance OF success is dead. 1t is
| impossible not TO sympathize with man who
in his seventieth year after life of service to
the country, accepts such hopeless task.
STILL FOR RESISTANCE.
Yet even now it is difficult to find man or
woman who will boldly say, LET us capitulate. "
| A few days since, while the usual crowd of
women was waiting to receive the ratiOns of
three hundred grammes of bread, one poor
| wretch, half dead with fatigue cold and hun
| ger enceinte and wasted by misery, exclaimed,
Mon Dieu! que celia fntSse|'' (My God when
| will this end.)
She was Immediately surrounded by the other
starving and suffering women of the neghbor-
hood, who abused and hustled her about till she
tainted on the street. She was rescued by some
| men who were passing aud carried to the
ambulance This illustrates the moral coWardice
| OF the people. Every one OF these WomeR when
alone in their wretched, cold rooms, would say,
with tears in their eyes, mon Diea! que oeIa
.fnisse'"
FOOD GOING.
During the past six days there has been an
increase OF five hundred in the mortality report.
go far as food is concerned, that gets scarceI
every day. The decrease in the supply is per-
ceptible. The PTussians may fail to shell Paris
into submission, but the poor, suffering people
must soon yield to famine-a greater general
than even Won Moltke. Before three weeks
| more have passed 1t is certain that the end oi
the siege of Paris will have come.
