LONDON, Nov. 9, 1870, T have just recelved the fo'lowing from the cor- respondent of the HERALD in Versallies:. News has reached us to-day creating great excite- ment and leads to the feeling that s)mething on a large scale may be expected at any moment. Preparations to meet it are being made. The reports from the south of France are of an extraordinary nature. Fifteen departments have absolutely seceded from the rest of France, and, in conjunction with Algiers, are engaged in the organi- zation of a separate government. Ke ihe fring from Fort Valérien has been incessant for the iast twenty-font Sours, but was quite harm- Jess, “ ‘Pwo balloons from Paris passed over to-day, one of them hovering aanris an hour Jow enough for the Preveeoheans TTY Se memes ap ead eee eee © passenger car to be visible. The bombardment o! Paris is expected speedily to commence. Everything is pointing in the direction of the point chosen. Jt probably will be some part of the line between the Seine where it enters Paris and. where it leaves the city, between forts D’lvry and D’Issy. Between these forts lie forts Bicetre, Montrouge and Van- vres. The whole five are connected by rifie pits, adding greatly to the defensive powers of the city, but offering an insurmountable obstacle to a suc- cessful sortic. Fronting them is the country occu- pied by the Germans, full of obstacles affording cover for field artillery, with loopholed walls, In every direction from St. Cloud the Germans can send shell that will reach the Tuileries, St. Cloud being under the tine of fire of Fort Valerien, the battery there might be silenced, but the besiegers can occupy the attention of Valerien from various other quarters, A heavy stream of guns and provisions continues to flow in here. Ac- cording to present appearances all France will soon be overrun for provisions. NEWS FROM PARIS. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. M@he Situation in the City, Political and So. cial—M. Jules Favre’s Position—No Cession of Territory—Summary Arrests=<“ow the People Live—What the Leaders Say—The Armistice. Lonpon, Nov. 10, 1870. Thave just received a balloon letter from Paris, ‘ander date of the 7th inst.,in which the HERALD correspondent reports as follow: After the elec- tion on the 8d inst. M. Jules Favre delivered a speech to the meeting, in which he said that the government, which had sworn not to cede an inch of French territory, will remain, whatever may hap- pen, faithfal to this engagement SUMMARY ARREST. M, Felix Pyat was arrested on the 3d inst. and taken to the Prefecture of Police. An order was given for the arrest of several of his associates. ‘When on the point of being captured Gustave Flou- rens made his escape. THE ARMISTICE, The Journal Oficiel yesterday (the 6th inst.) an- nounced that Prussia had definitely refused the armistice or to allow the French people to elect the members of the National Assembly, in accordance ‘with the demand that the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine he allowed to vote. Tney had also refused to permit Paris to be revictualled; and thas the cup of hope was'dashed from the lips of the people of the besieged city. To conquer or die was now the only alternative which was left them, BISMARCK. It is proper to say here that the best informed persons in Paris never anticipated that Bismarck would consent to the revictaalling of the city. 1 would have been injurious to the foreign armics fighting in a strange country, the peopie of which were making every endeavor possible to cut off their retreat from Prussia. Moreover, four weeks ago the operations in the field were dificult. It is true that Count Bismarck admtted, under certam circumstances, the right of the entire French population to vote for a constituent Chamber of Legislature, but his refusal to permit the revictualiing of Paris forced the French Government of Dofence to reject the proposal for an armistice, Its acceptanze in the orm proposed by Bismarck wonld have lessened abe chances of Fucce.6 which gtill remained to them, ARIS, Tatiops the besieged city eaw plainly, painfully, ‘hat eg an. eran of. Suomaeere deze eae famine would be marching with giant s.4¢a to ald the Prussians in the work of the reduction of the place, GLOOMY PROSPECTS. Everything appears gloomy in Paris. There exists but small hope for the Freneh canne, The rejection or the armistice by Prussia is re- garded as acall to arms by the French, and there now no longer exists any chance of: an early terml- nation of the war struggle except by the advent of grim death to one of the belligerents. PRUSSIAN GUNS. ‘The fall of Toul, Strasbourg and Metz freed the Prussian armies from service elsewhere, The besiegers have received their heavy guns, and General Moltke is eager to commence the bombard- ment. HOW THEY ARE FED, Notices have been posted in the butcher shops of Paris stating that the rations for three days have been reduced to aquarter of a pound of meat per head. THE WEATHER. Already there is frost and winter winds, Fuel is very scarce. One woul] have supposed that the Prussians would be discouraged, but this 1s not so. They know that now that the armistice has been rejected they must fight it out tothe end, even if not one single Prussian should ever return to his country to tell the tale of the war before Paris and of the defeat of the King’s army. THB MARKETS. The opinion which was expressed everywhere during the past week of the probability of an armis- tice being arranged produced an extraordinary effect on the markets in the city, The peasants who had taken refuge in varis with such live stock as they could bring with them, becoming afraid that @ temporary cessation of hostllities would Jower prices, wandered through the streets offering live fowl and rabbits for sale, Tcould have bought three fowls for twenty francs and a rabbit for twelve francs. Now that the armis- tice has been rejected the prices are mounting up with extraordinary rapidity, ‘RIOTERS. The government organ gives the reason for the Jate arrests of rioters. On Monday last, and since that day, inflammatory notices were posted by the Reds. 11s also true that on the 1st of November @ number of radicals met in an unfurnished church in compliance with @ call by poster placards, at which the government took alarm. This same meeting was placarded the day previous in another shape. When the “reds” were holding high revel at the Hotei de Ville, and the radical bilistick-- ers had loft a part of their work unfinished till the following day, the late Prefect of Police resigned in consequence of the arrests having been ordered, He was of opmmion that a firm, easy disarming of the emeutemen would haye freed the city from all the consequences of the rea movement, M. Raoul Regault, successor of Lagrange, the celebrated chief of political police, was arrested in consequence of that on the 3ist of October he wae the bearer of an order signed ‘Blanqui,”” commiseioning him to place bimseif at the head of the National Guard and take possession Qf the Hotel ae Ville.

A correspondent, writing from Versailles under aate of the 7th inst, gives the following review of the present situation and prospects of the French army:— General Trochu has a force of 230,000 men fit for offensive service in the fleld, Paris is absolutely impregnable to aitack, and ean be conquered only by starvation, ‘There is abundance of food In Paris, suMicient to last two months longer. ‘There are 81x armies outside of Paris, numbering 630,000 drilled and well armed men in the field, besides the numerous detachments of Francs-tireurs, garrisons and irregular troops, They are the Army of the Loire, General Paladine, with 120,000 men; the Army of the West, General K¢ratry, with 100,000 men; the Army of the North, General Bourbaki, with 65,000 men; the Army of the Centre. General Tripaut, with 90,000 men; the Army of the Rhone, General Michel, with 110,000 men, and the Army ot the Vosges, General Cambriels, with 45,000 men. ll these are well sup- plied with everything save artillery, which de- ficiency 1s rapidly being remedied. The army of the West has fifty-five breech-loading field pieces, In no quarter is there any deficiency in money, pro- visions, ammunition, clothing or horses. CONDITION OF THE GERMAN ARMY. The same correspondent, writing from Versailles, speaks In the following terms of the German army, its eMciency and strength:— The army besieging Paris continues to suffer greatly from sickness, which constantly increases, A recent morning report of the condition of the army showed an average of 300 men on the sick list. Each battalion has a nominal strength of 1,000 men. No more reinforcements can arrive from Germany. The last recruits, nearly all boys under nineteen years, are now on their way. ‘The former reports concerning the dis- Position of the army of Prince Frederick Charles were Incorrect, His Tenth corps has gone to Paris; the Eighth to Thionville; the Seventh remains at Metz; the First is at Lille; the Third at Troyes, and the Second and Ninth at Lyons.

Lonpon, Nov. 9, 1870, A correspondent at Tours soys the Minister of the Interior of Paris nas informed the Préfect of the Department of the Lower Seine that the ar- mistice has been wunanimousiy rejected by the government of national defence, as the Prus- sians were unwilling to accord the right to revictual Paris, aud would only agree to guarantee the elec- tion of members of the Constituent Assembly on the condition that Alsace and Lorraine shoula not par- ticipate in the election, BATTLE NEAR BLANZY. Another correspondent at Tours also sends word that a battle fought near Blanzy resulted in a suc- cess of the French arms.

DISTRESS AT VERSAILLES, Deaths are daily occurring at Versailles from absolute starvation. The best families rest- dent there are compelled to part with their plate and their jewelry in order to puy bread. Even among the German soldiery, disease 4g caused by the scarcity of food which prevails throughout the camp. ‘She neighboring country has been absolutely strippea of all its resources in the way of provisions. A PLEA FOR THE EMPEROR, La Situation, published here to-day, contains an elaborate article setting forth that France can only be saved by the restoration of the empire, It Says there still exists the constituted bodies of the Council of States, the Deputies and the Senate. These, i¢ maintains, should take the initiative in declaring thelr devotion to the vanquished empire. If they should do this, Za Situation thinks that peace could be made to-morrow and anarchy subdued in a month. The salvation of France could be found outside of the dynasty of the Napoleons, The Emperor and Empress will speak in duc time. While they remain silent, says La Siiuation, let us speak out for them. The rupture of the negotiations for an armistice makes 4 decision necessary on the part of all. It ts impos sible that the invasion of an empire by external ene mies should authorize the least honorable ciuzens indefinitely to puralyze the reorganized powers of the State. “ THE MISTAKE OF A NAME. One in Loyt it Another % tone gaee Man WonAll's tui ind WarA Pearfol. Warning Agniust {wo Persons Having the Snime Name. {From the Troy Times, Nov. 8.) ‘Two years ago @ young lady Who shall ve, like the pure and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore, nameless here forevermore, resided in the upper part of the city. She had a bevy of devoted admirers who sought to gain her favor. Not having much of the Coquette in her composition she did not give smnile for sinile to ail, but chose one of her ad- juirers on whom she lavished all her love. Of course the fortunate male was happy in the love of one vo beautiful in feature and mind and sought by every device known to lovers to make himself more worthy of his treasure. He was her constant attendant at all places of public resort, and the gossips soon began to whisper vhat they were engaged—a whisper to which the colormg of fact was speedily given by the appear- ance of a ring on acertain finger of one of the lady's hands. Her parents about this time, for busi- ness reasons, removed to the western part of the State, and the lovers were separated. They parted with the usual number of assurances of evériastin, fidelity to each, which probably meant as much an no more than those assurances generally mean. They were lovers, engaged to be married, and those who have been in that condition can easily imagine what was said. Those who have not yet been in love and parted with the idols of their hearts onght not to know what occurred at the parting. Kuch pledged the other to write frequent letters, and thus by means of the facilities atforded by our obliging Uncle Samuel they hoped to keep alive their love for each other. According to the laws of etiquette the gentleman wrote the first of these tender missives, and there the correspondence on his part ceased, the how and why of which will be more tully detailed below. ‘Ihe young lady in due course of time re- ceived the letter and answered it. Butin directing it she forgot to put the street and number ot her lover's residence upon the envelope, and by a mls- take on the part of a letter carrier the letter was de- livered, not to the person for whom it was intended, but to another with the same name. This last men- tioned individual was mightily surprised at the ceipt of the missive: but, as he rather liked the man- ner in which it was written, he concluled to coniis- cate ail such communications as might be indited jn future by the young lady. So he wrote a reply, in which he protested his love in terms as strong as had the original lever, and to guard against mistakes he informed the fair correspondent that he had changed his resideiice. He gave the name of the street and number of the house in which he lived, and par- uciilaily Reaifat d the lad, 8 Siesct Hor setters there, as he had réason tO bellevg that hhoiner person of the same namé was liviiig in Troy. he correspondence Was Continued whtil a few Weeks ago, when the person who had received the aids!

He did 30, but, instead of the reproaches which he had expected, mild words of reproof were only uttered, and but few of these, ‘he lady seemed to like him and he undoubtedly worshipped her. The upshot of the matter was that the two were married some days ago. The first lover, it 1s said, thinks of arraigning the Post Oiiice Department for inefliciency. We end this recital im the customary manner: THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY AMMIVERSARY. The Academy of Music was comfortably filled last evening by @ well dressed audience who had assem- bled to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Mer- cantile Library Association.

Prayer was offered by Dr. Tyng, alter which Mr. Borden, the President of the Mercantile Li brary Association, mentioned a number of interesting facts connecied with the history and progress of the Library. In 1827 it had 700 volumes and 150 sub- seribers. In 1850 there were 3,000 merchants” clerks connected with the association and it had 30,000 volumes. In 1870 400 newspapers and periodicals and 120,000 volumes were to be found in the library, and its income was $60,000 a year, while Its pro- perty was valued at $50,000, Addresses followed by William Cullen Bryant, Rev.

A disgraceful scene was enacted in Newark yes- terday aiternoon in Thomas street, opposite No. 168. About three o’clock, while the funeral of a child was about starting from the place indicated, an elderly Woman hamed Mrs. Scanlan made @ rush on her son Michael, who was one of the mourners, and dealt him a terrific blow across the head with a ponderous club, fracturing, tt is feared, the frontal development. ‘fhe imjured young man was re- moved in a state of insensibiiily to the house of Patrick Tully, corner of Her- man and ‘Thomas streets, and a surgeon procured, Mrs. Scanlan, it seems, had a grudge against the mother of the dead cluld, and was so enraged because her husband and son persisted in attending the funeral that she lost her senses and made the attack described. As a matter to be ex- pected, the occurrence happening under such cir- cumstances occasioned much excitement in the neighborhood. i pita ls THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The Calabar experienced very heavy weather on her passage, A correspondent, writing from Opobo, says that the war between Ja Ja and Oko Jumbo was ina state of status quo, Consul Livingstone had been up the Opobo river in her Majesty's steamer Pert, 1a company with Oko Jumbo, “and ordered ‘Ja Ja to sign a document witnout any explanation or discussion whatever. ‘this peremptory de- man Ja Ja declined to accede to un- less the stipulations wo the Consul at a previous meeti were complied with, namely, the return of all the Opobo chiei’s people—men, women and children—whom Oko Jumbo said were alive, but whom he weil knew at the time had been nearly all murdered. In consequence of Ja Ja re- Tusing to sign the document, the Consul sald that he should have the river blockaded. Ja Ja then pio- ceeded to the factories of the Europeans, and told them the result of the interview and the Consul's determination to blockade the river. His canoe was about to leave for the town of Imra, when the Pert fired three guns at the boat, which compelled Ja Ja to return, Consul Livingstone then ordered the traders to remove their vessels a mile lower down the river, which they considered a most unjustifiable, unnecessary and injurtous proceeding. He also Placed guard boats in the neighborhood of the vessels day and night, prohibiting any communica- tlon between the shore and the vessels, Alter a good deal of correspondence between the chief and the Consul, Ja Ja promised, on condition of Oko Jumbo producing all the Opobo people, less: 26 per cent, to give him permission to trade at four fairs, and to leave the seers for Nnai settlement to the arbitration of the King of New Calabar and the King of Ekreeka. The Consul tnen ordeved the blockade to be raised, while at the same time he threatened to have all the white traders removed from the river, However, after another intervie v with JaJa and Commander Jones, the Consul took @ more favorable view of the “situation,” and the threat was permitted to remain in abeyance, Afier calling a meeting of the white and blick residents, to whom he conveyed the intelligence that the set tlement of the dispute between the two belligerents had been leit for arbitration to the King of New Calabar and the King of Ekreeka, the Consul left for Fernando Po, Of course Ja Ja’s iequest cannot pos- sibly be carried out, as the King of bp 4s unable to send back Ja Ja’s peopie, as they Were, alter the termination of the first war, all murdered: and it is tterefore premuture to consider the war atan end. The Oko Jumbo or King Pepple family are said to have acted like fiends even after the heat of the war, as hen carried on the murder of helpless women und children in all the outlying districts—even forgetting their humanity so far as to tear the unborn babes from their mothers’ wombs and slaughter children at the breast—atrocities that even made the Ekreeka men, who are well knowa man-eaters, shudder. The white traders are ver‘ much incensed at what they consider the uncalled- for interference of the Consul, the sudden stoppage of trade, the biockade of the river and the capture of trading canoes belonging to neutral parties. Her Britannic Majesty's vessels, which conveyed the British traders up the Volta, had returned and reported everything satisfactory. There was every appearance of a prosperous traae belng inaugurated, and the traders were sanguine of success. The general heatth of the coast was good, and the trade continued brisk at all the ports, with the exception of Bonny, where it was at a complete standstill, ‘Ihe rains had set in very heavily, and the weather, for the period of the year, on the coast was unusually cold.
