Princo LONDON, Oct. 12, 1870. The following letter has been Teceived from the correspondent Of the Nuw York Henan at the headquarters of the German army besieging Parts:— VERSAILLES, Oct. 5, 1870, The French keep up a constant fire from thelr can- non and stnall arms dally, but the beslegers make no reply, the Prussians tactics being merely to keep & tight grip upon the French and a sharp lookout »—4ehile awaiting the arrival of their heavy guns, 1 ‘am told that they will soon be here, but certainly they have been slow coming. The fault 1s to be found in the dilatoriaess in repairing the railroad Mne between Toul and Meaux, THB INVESTING ARMY—1T3 STRENGTH AND POSITION. At present the eifective strength of the besieging army is three hundred thousaud men, From St. Germain to the west 1s the Filth corps, which con- nects with and supports the Sixth corps. After this latter come in order the Bavarian corps, the Eleventh Prussian, tho Prussian Guards, the Saxon and Wurlémotrg corps and the Fourth Prussian corps. A QUESTION OF SUPPLIES. 3 Hitherto the army has subsisted mostly off the country, and wherever they camped they soon cleared out everything to eat. There being nothing left now the Germans are compelled to depend upon their own stores, which are being brought in as rapidly as possibic. The cavalry scour the country around Paris for a great distancé and along the lines of communication to the Vosges, but the government cannot trust to the chantes of forage to feed the large numbers encircling Paris, This fact, if it dces not create uncasiness, at least makes the military leaders eager for action. THE GERMANS RELENTLESS. The longer the delay the more bitter becomes the determination to press the war to a close with en- ergy. Paris will, therefore, be bomberded instantly when the siege guns are mounied. Not a single Measure, however severe and seemingly cruel, will be left untried to compel a peace. In fact, the most intelligent officers of the Prussian army begin to fee) uneasy, Knowing that the chances of war are terribly uncertain. BAD NEWS FROM REFORE METR. Adverse accounts have been received at head- quarters of the health of the army of Prince Fredo rick Charles, néw lying before Metz. Should Ba- waine succeed in escaping With even the loss of half bis army, it is feared that what does get away might become the nucleus of a force likely to prove dan- gerous in view of the impossibility of sparing any men from before Paris. Indeed, more men are needed here, and the army lately besteging Stras- bourg has been ordered to reinforce this army in- stead of going south towards Lyons, GREAT EFFORTS TO CAPTURE PARIS. Tt 18 evident that General Von Moltke has re- solved to concentrate every available man before Paris, with a view to making a determined efort to capture the French capita! at once. It will, there. fore, be seen readily that the most momentous events bang upon the question whether Paris is strong enough for long resistance to assault. This question is purely enigmatical, hence it is*felt that the future ts fuli of doubt, COMMUNICATIONS ENTACT, At present, howeve:, no inconvenience is felt from the operations of the Frane-tireurs and Gardes Mobile. The rear of this army is unmolested and it i not expected that there will be the , least interrup- uon to th lines of communication, fleld telegraphs Or military post. Nothing of the kind has yet oc- cured to any extent, and prisoners and peasants re- port that the straggling parties of French have been recalled to the south and northeast for the purpose of aggregation and organization. WHY THE FRENCH FORCES AT TOURS REFUSE TO MOVE, A ceremontous dinner party was given yesterday by the Crown Prince of Prussia, at his new dwelling. During the festivities he authoritatively communt- cated the news that the French army at Tours, num- bering 60,000 men, had refused to march forward under the leadership of the generals appointed by the Provisional Government, A HOPE OF PEACE, { am informed to-day, from goou sources, that there 1s still a great possibility that the fallen ends of the rope dropped by Bismarck and Favre will again be taken up. It 1s rumored that General Burnside is the agent between the two, and will again enter Paris on a diplomatic mission, It is raid that the Parisians live in the hope of peace being concluded, and cannot believe in the reality of @ bombardment, MILITARY REVIEWS, , The Orowp Prince, avended by a briitiags stag, NEW YURK HERALD, THURSDAY, has lay made several reviews at the daily regi- menial and battalion drills m the place @armes in front of the Prince's residence, ARRIVAL OF KING WILLIAM, ‘The handsome prefective palace, erected under ‘the empire, on the Avenue de Paris, has been ap- propriated for the King’s headquarters here.

THE PEOPLE OF VERSAILLBS. ‘The cttizens turaed out to but little extent to eat- isfy thetr curlosity, though at the bottom the whole population was dying to catch a glimpse of the con- queror, The only elements which showed any force were the blae blouses, old women in white caps and children. Tney were seen peeping behind the line of soldiers, curious and silent. The better class con- sidered ita point of patriotism to remain housed, but-numbers were seen peeping slyly through half closed windows, APPROACH OF THE KING. Towards dusk the King's nlack stallions began to come in, led by mounted grooms, then the fourgons and the baggage of his Majesty, the mintsters and headquarters officers, After these there lapsed some ten minutes, when a detachment of lancers galloped up.’ The vanguard of the royal cort¢ge drew up across the avenue, with thelr car- bines by their side and cocked pistols in their right hands. They were quickly followed by a bedy of staiwart dragoons and a few mounted equerries, after which came another troop of lan- cers, with long lances carried upright, who took po- sition on the flank of the rest. Then came, at a quick paee, an open carriage centaining the King and the Crown Prince, covered by dust and pre- ceded by outriders, They were announced as they approached by war cheers rolling from regiment to regiment. ‘hese, with the burst of music from the band, rendered the scene quite exciting. INTO THE PALACE, When the carriage halted the King and the Crown Prince alighted, both looking remarkably vigorous and active. ‘They shook hands cordially with seve- ral officers, and instead of entering the palace at once proceeded along the line to the color company. drawn up in front, conversing with the Crown Prince, Genera!
