About noon on Monday, the-sist ultimo, groups of people assembled in the Place de l’Hotel de Ville, ‘They were much agitated by the false romor that the government had agreed te an armistice, The crowd so pressed against the deors ef the Hotel de ‘Ville that they were forced eper and about two nun- Grea persons endeavored to enter the hall where the members of tho government were holding their ses- sions, but they were prevented.from doing so by the Gerdes Mobile, who were on guard in the vicinity, {THE NATIONAL GUARD TAKB A HAND.

General Trochu then came forward and addressed we crowd. He reviewed what was being done to senaer Paris impregnable, and expressed his ut- most devotion to the republic and to the people. He Was not hstened to. The people shouted conuau- ously, and demanded a dismissal of the present government. HOSTILITIES BEGUN. + & great tumult ensned.

Lorpoy, Nov. 4, 1870. A special telegram to de New Yore HERaLp says:— # THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT MAN@UVRING TO RETAIN OHPIOR, a It is apprebended that France will experience a renewal of bloody times by ¢ivil. convulsion should the provisional government at Tours refuse to hold a general election, through the fear of its members losing their power and held of omee by public vote subsequently. Instead of permitting the candidates to run fairly on the merits of the open question, the executive govern- ment desires to submit to the electors a single ticket for vote, inscribed, ‘Whether you support the Gov- ernment of National Defviiee? An affirmative vote to this will be certain, and the securing of it will really be equivalent to their own clection to power and a continnanee in office. A feeling is maturing steadily in the public mind, and extending towards the beliéf that Jnles Favre and his friends and supporters are resolved to sacri- fice the conatry—sacrifice all France—rather than yield the power which they now hold. 4A HITCH IN THE NEGOTIATIONS. A aespatch to M. Laurier from the Tonrs govern- ment, dated yesterday evening and received here this morning, says the armistice bas not been yet conclued, ddifficuities having arisen in regard to the revictualling of Paris. The signature, neverthe- less, is expected to take place to-day. MOTIVE OF THE PRUSSIANS IN NEGOTIATING. A correspondent writes from Versailles on the 30th ultimo:—Everything is being dene to facilitate M. ‘Thiers’ mission. The readiness ef the Prussians to resume negotiations is apparently due to the im- pression that Paris is better provisioned than is supposed. COUNT BISMARCK SOHEMING FOR NAPOLEON. A correspondent at Versailles, writing October 31, says:—Europe will find herself taken aback within a week, The new triamph of Bismarck’s gentus has achieved quite another direction than that looked for. Be prepared for big things close at hand— some Bonapartist scheme which Bismarck’s party has hidden beneath the armistice negotiations. The cessation of hostilities during twenty-five days gives such @ balance of military advantages to France that Bismarck could not have granted such terms without secret reasons, PARIS TO BE REVICTUALLED DURING THE SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES. The Standard’s Paris correspondence, published this morning, says:—In the twenty-five days’ armis- tice granted by Prussia for the election the revic- tualling of Parts is included.

It ig now certain the armistice has been signed conditionally by M.

THTERS AT VERSAILLES, A correspondent at Versailles, describing M. ‘Thiera’ arrival there, says:—‘M, Thiers, who is a little, short, old man, had on a shabby black over- Coat and dirty white hat, with a black band.

Bazaine’s surrender ‘was made known at Vienna, however, and caused Count Beust to adopt a milder tone. NO ALLIANCE BETWERN PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. A telegram from Tours says that it is reported that the Austrian representative at that place denies positively the rumors circulated by the Prussian Journals of a political alliance between Prussia and Austria, SOME ADVICE TO PRUSSIA.

Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs deplores the continuance of the struggie in the first opening lines, and then proceeds to review the situation as it presents. He calis the attention of the Prussian government to the compiicated con- dition of affairs, as also to the great amount of hu- man suffering and misery which it has preduced to and entailed on the warring peoples. Earl Granville admitted that the military reduction of Paris is fully authorized to the Prussians both by the facts ef the present contest and the gencral usages of war. He urges, however, an armistice, and recommends its completion, thus enabling France to enjoy the benefit of the convocation of a Parliamentary Constituent Assembly and the speedy establishment of peace. Earl Granville adds, in conclusion, that he believes that his oMicial representations on the same subject to the Freuch government will not be without effect.

ORIGINAL CAUSE. The excitement on the 20th turned on the pub*icm tion In Felix Pyat’s journal, Le Combat, of the state- ment that Bazaine adhered to Napoleon, and offered peace in the name of the empire, provided he be permitted co march his army to Paria and take possession of the government, witn the aid of the Prussian government. A _ published denial in the ofMcial journal deciared that Bazaine made constant sorties, and the escape of Bourbaki was determined on in order that he might lead the army of the republic to the release of Metz, Pyat, however, repeated the statement and published a card declaring that he haa reeetved the information from Gus- tave Plourens, who had it direct from citizen Rochefort, a member of the Government of National Defence, The Nattonal Guard could not allow the opportunity of making a manifestation of their su- premacy pass, and a number of them went to the Hotel de Ville, and demanded explanations. HEADS CALLED FoR, Le Siccle published an infamatory article demand. ing the execution of Pyat.

Rochefort appeared on the steps of the Hotel de Ville and addressed the Nationals, seying:—The government denies, m an emphatic manner, the Statements in Le Combat, The Geclarations in that jonrnai are infamous, He who made them is a coward. 1 have known for a long time that Felix Pyat waa 4% coward.

Counter recrimination charges were made against Rochefort by Pyat. There is @ current runuing agatast the men who now hoid the reins of government which Wilt assuredly soouer or later come toa bead and overthrow them. ‘Their supporters only regard them | as temporartly installed, and they do not command the respece of the rest o1 the people, INSTABILITY OF PRENCH CHARACTER. ‘This incident has turmed the minds of the people of Paris from the contemplation of the horrors of the situation. In fact, tbe versatile character of the peopie 18 unchanged by a six weeks’ siege. Should one real success reach their arms toemorrow, how- ever slight, ihey would be ready again to rueh down the Boulevaras, shouting ‘4 Berlin’ TROCAU'S UNRELIABILITY, Even Trocha himself has not the entire confidence of the inhabitants, It will be remembered that at the last Counetl of Ministers, presided over by the Empress, ‘Trochu went Into most extravagant lengths in expressing his devotion to the empire. Within a few hours he joined the repubit- cans. On the occasion of the arrest of portalia a committee waited upon Trochu to re- monsirate. ‘The Governor declared he knew nothing of the arrest, and that it was made without his knowledge or orders. It u0w appears that he was the principal party engaged in procuring the arrest: ROMINISC4NCES OF TI SIG?
