The French Delivering the Armament of Paris to the Germans. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORX HERALD. Lonpoy, Feb. 10, 1871. ‘The Paris special correspondent of the New York Henarp has juat this instant arrived fin London and I hasten to forward his report of the siluation of aoffiirs in the French capital. A QUIET ELEOTION. Your correspondent left Paris on the morn- fog of the 9th inst. (Thursday). The election Closed on the previous night (February 8), It passed off quietly, Except from the excited -@iscussions which took place among groups of persons on the avenues there was little to iudicate that an event of the greatest importance to France was transpiring. Nevertheless ample precautions were taken to prevent riots. By permission of the German authorities, which was promptly granted, the number of twelve thousand regu- lars allowed, under the terms of the armistice convention to retain their arms, were tempo- rarily increased to twenty-five thousand men, who were posted in various parts of the city, ready for any emergency. Their services, however, were never needed at any time dur- ing the day. CANDIDATES PROBABLY ELEOTED. ‘The tickets of candidates for the National Assembly were mixed up.so confusedly that it will take several days to ascertain officially who are elected. It is known, however, that the vote of the conservative element was sur- prisingly strong. The following named candidates are doubt- less elected:—MM. Louis Blanc, Heari Rochefort, Busson, Delescluze, TF lourens, Rollin, Dorian, Guinet and Valant. All these men belong to the extreme wiug of the repub- lican party. t The Orleans interest is believed to be strong throughout the country. REVIOTUALLING. The work of revictualliug Paris is proceed- Yng well, and fears of famine are removed ; but the organization is wretcied. The crowds which assemble before the butcher and baker shops are as large as usual, and the bread that is sold to them is worso thanever. Great difficulty is experienced in distributing rations to the poorer classes, many of whom are suf- fering badly. ANXIOUS 'f0 LEAVE, The mortality among the children of the city is terrible. Many respeolable persons are making strenuous exertions to leave Paris, they having no confidence in the armistice leading to the conclusion of a treaty of peace and dreading lest the renewal of the war bring on worse horrors than ticy have yet experi- enced. PARIS. CONDITION oY Considering the siege through which.Paris has passed the actual condition of the city is little changed. The Champs Elys¢es is very little damaged. At the entry to the Lake the Bois de Boulogne is destroyed and other parts partially so. ‘FEELING ON THE PROPOSED GERMAN ENTRY. Popular sentiment has been intensely ex- cited at the idea of the German army entering the city, but the feeling is gradually abating, and as it does so becomes more lenient to- wards the enemy, BELFORT TO BE OARRIED BY ASSAULT. A-report was current in Paris whea your correspondent left that the Prussians sent off one army corps to the south on Tuesday last, it having been reaolved to carry Belfort by assault. : MINISTER WASHBORNE. Mr. Washburne, the American Minister to France, went on Wednesday from the city for a few days’ relaxati6n from the arduous dutics of his office. He is now in Brussels, . GENERAL ITEMS, There is no gas in the city yet. The nights fire still terribly dull and very dark, and it is singular that there are no streot robberies re- ported. Public order remains good. Shops are slowly commencing te re-open. The theatres are re-opening. The French Delivering the Armament of Paris to tho Germans—Probadic Early Entry of the Victors=Great Reaction Among the Pas ristans~The Food Supply Holding Out, Lospos, Feb. 10, 1871. I have received the followiag despatch from Yhe New York HeERatp correspondent at Ver- seilles, dated on tho 8th instant, cespondent writes :-— SURRENDERING ARMS. Yesterday eighty ficld guns and one hundred and forty theusand rifles were delivered up by the French to the Germans at Vaneres and Ivry. To-day the consignment of the arma- ment of Paris is proceeding quietly. PROBABLE OCCUPATION OF PARIS.

Fermidable prepara- tions for a heavy bombardment have been made by the Germans should any possible complications arise. The attitude of the city, however, is quite apathetic at the present mo- ment, and the reaction is much greater than was expected, Foon. The food supply is working tolerably well, and the prospects now are that there will be no actual starvation endured by the people. Provisions are arriving in considerable quan- titles, and by using them economically all distress may be arrested until Paris is fully revictualled. NO BLOODSHED Yet. The mines at the gatesof Paris have been destroyed, There was-o riot at Holles on Monday, but there was no bloodshed. In fact, however intense may be the animosity against the Germans, it has mot yet displayed itself offensively, THE GENERAL SITUATION. Herald Special Report from Versailles, Bismarck Quite Il---Grave Uneastness in High Cireles. Preparations to Resume the War After the Armistice. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Feb. 10, 1871. The New York HeERatp correspondent at Versailles sends me the following despatch, dated the 8th inst. He says:— ILLNESS OF BISMAROK. Things look gloomy to-day, but I am pre- cluded from explaining the cause, Count -Bismarck is again quite ill, and his condition excites grave uneasiness. There is a general feeling of gloom in high circles. FAVRE AND GAMBETTA, Immediately on the receipt of Gambetta’s proclamation of January 31 Count Bismarck sent a message to Jules Favre protesting against it, Favre at once sent a satisfactory reply. He declared that measures would be taken for the arrest of Gambetta if it was necessary to proceed to such extreme action, IN HIGH FAVOR. M. Favre isin high favor at the German headquarters. He has. won the esteem and confidence of all the German officers and diplomats with whom he has come in contact at Versailles. THE RED PRINCE AT VERSAILLES, The Red Prince has arrived at Versailles from Le Mans. He announces that the dis- trict of Framce occupied by the Second Ger- man Army is quite peacefully disposed. PREPARATIONS TO RESUME HOSTILITIES. Should the National Assembly, which has been elected to-day, reject the German con- ditions of peace the war will be resumed with uosparing rigor. All the German prepara- tions are complete for a campaign on a gigan- tic scale. Paris will be heavily mulcted in the event of a resumption of hostilitios. THE ELEOTIONS. Tho elections in Versailles are passing off quietly. They will probably result in the success of the moderate republican candidates. The same result is expected in the North and East of France, but grave apprehensions are felt in regard to the Southern departments. THE EMPEROR'S DEPARTURE. The departure of the Emperor of Germany from Versailles on his return to Berlin is a matter still unsettled. He will, however, probably leave here some time during the last week of the present month, AWD FOR FRANCE. The people of this country are rapidiy responding to the cry for relief of those destitute people of France, upon whose territory was enacted the bloody drama of the war. A mecting of the French Relief Committee was held yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce. Much correspondence giving offers of assistance and enclosing subscriptions was read. Among this was the following letter from the Shakers of Mount Lebanon:— Mount Lesanon, Feo, 8, 1871.

Cases which appear dificult of treatment present themselves almost dally, however. In one of these the members of the Swiss Cabtnet have ordered the sale of the horses belonging to the French cavalry interned in Switzerland. Sixty-two railway wagons, laden with provisions for the Erench prisoners, have arrived in Switzer- land from France. They have been permitted to discharge thelr freight, as the mez for.whom the food is intended come within the rules of the ar ticles of war which apply to the treatment after sur- render, and are held by the action of the German authorities. se tei THE QUESTION OF THE EAST ~~~ nd The Sultan Pacifle Towards the Danubian Prin, cipalitics. ag TELEGRAM TO THS NEW YoRt wenito, ie se LONDON, Feb. 19, 1871.

Their Confirmation by the Seuate—Interest- log Discussion Upon the Constitutional Eligi- bility of Senator Willinins= Sensible Course of Senator Sumner. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1871. The Senate went into executive session at an early hour to-day for the purpose of considering the nominations of the joint High Commission. After some discussion as to the law authorizing the ap- Peintment or the commission all the Commissioners were confirmed except SENATOR WILLIAMS, Objection was made to him that he was not cligi- ble, because of his being a member of the Sénate, the constitution containing a provision that no Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under authority of the United Stutes which shall have been created or the emoluments in- creased during such time. Senator Sumner wade an argument AGAINST THIS OBJECTION, quoting precedents to show that the clanse of the constitution with regard to the appointment of a Senator or Representative to an office created during the term for which he was elected did not apply to a case like that before them, During the discussion Mr. Sumner spoke of his knowledge of three of the British Commissione!s, they belug not only shrewd statesmen, but thor- oughly acquainted with the questions with which they will have to deal. The poiut decided was that the office to which Willlam3 was nominated ts not a civic office created by law, it being held that he ts appointed merely to REPRESENT THE PRESIDENT in an executive cagacity. Willams was accordingly confirmed. This settles the whole business for the present, so far as the Senate is concerned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1871. There are Senators who voted to confirm the Com- missioners who regard the whole thing as an ex- periment, and not a8 certain settlement of the difil- culties between Great Britain and the United States, So far, it is stated, the only point ga'ned by our gov- ernment is that the Commission meets in Washing- ton instead of London. The correspondence be- tween Siz: Edward Thornton and Secretary Fish shows, it is alleged, that the British government still holds to the terms of THE CLARENDON-JOHNSON TREATY, and that she assents to a commission on those terms, Of course the action of the Commission will not. be final. It will be subject to review by both govern- ments, and if 1¢18 not satisfactory to the United States it will not amount to anything, SENATOR SUMNER’S POSITION regarding the appotatment of the joiut commission is that he thinks s0 grave o question should be investigated by the Senate and examined in all its bearings before final action Is taken. He states his desire to be for areal and lasting peace with Eng- land, and points to his celebrated Alabama speech as being a proper statement of his feclings m this respect. He opposed the Jonnson-Olarendon treaty because he believed 1 failed to TOUCH THY SEAT OF THE DISEASF, and witnont doing so, any real and permanent peace based upon mutual good feeling was impossi- bie. So gingerly was that convention worded that it even avoided mentioning the Alabama question, He believes that the Idea of a joint commission should only be entertained npon decided convictions that it will succeed in effecting a just and satisfac. tory arrangement which wil! not endanger tne self- respect of the one side or fail short of the just ex- pectations of the American people on the other. To fail now would be, he thinks, to leave the questions in an infinitely worse position than if no commission had been established, because in proportion to tho importance and Aignity surroundmg this high Com mission Bay be the disappointment at, “2 FAILURE QF apsusTstE NT. muon mepelare Deg tn ing the success of thé Comission, it will be seen his anxiety was to secure such a result as would In- sure peace, and therefore asking for such deliber- ative action on the part of the Senate as would ena- ble the merits and responsibilities of the step to bo carefully understood. SOME DIFFERENCE OF OPINION exists with reference to the composition of the American Commission. Some say it is a capital Commission, and others say that while at least three of the English Commissioners are conspicuons for their familiarity with the subjects which will come under discussion, our side fails to present any prominent name, except, perhaps, that of General Schenck. JUDGE NELSON is acknowledged to be an able admiralty lawyer, but it is argued that, aside from his duties having ree moved him from that general intercourse which would familiarize him with public opinion, his ex- treme age forbids the hope that he can exercise any great Influence on the deliberations, Tie name of General CALEB CUSHING has been mentioned as a proper person to have been gelected as one of the commissioners, connected as he has been in the past with the questions between the United Statesand the British provinces, THE CLAIMS OF GENERAL BUTLER TO BE ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS. ‘fo General Butler, however, ts generally awarded the credit of having so thoroughly aroused the English government to the dangerous character of the pending questions asto have impelled them to come down irom their high horse and sue for au ad- justment of the outstanding diferences, His triends say that had he been placed on the commission there is no doubt that any re- port which might be agreed upon would have been acquiesced in by the country as embodying the best terms obtainable. General Butler, they say, ‘is so thoroughly American that even those most opposed to him would have been satisfied that in any ar- rangement to which he was a party there would, at all events, be no truckling to England, These are the sentiments freely expressed in certatn cireles here, where the subject is discussed, General But ler has been somewhat reticent in expressing an opinion regarding the probable resuits of the com- mission, but it is evident he is not very onthusiasttc about ty Be deglares, however, that any patched 10N. | Confirmation of All the American Com | alagstoed Ag anestlon: | ete ee Up arrangement which will give Canada Will be in fact a reward to the Canadiana for thor note ttle and unfriendly course towards us and for their Outrageous treatment of American fishermen, and #8 such will not be endorsed by the American peopies At the Same time ho is not forgetful that an opporiimity is afforded ror securing a satisfactory adjustment of the grave questions between us and Great Britatt nd that much will depend upon the ability with which our side of the controversy is managed, ENGLISH PRES3 OPINIONS.

His Canadian admirers are now engaged in getting up a testi- monial in his behalf, which, tt is desired, shall reach the sum of $200,000, SIR JOHN A, MACDONALD is thoroughly conversant with the questions of the fisheries and all other Canadian questions, He will, therefore, probably be regarded as an authority on these subjects by his fellow members of the British commission. He is about fifty-six years old. His title is that of a Civil Knight Companion of the Kath, received in 1867 as an acknowledgment by the British government of his services as chtef of the colonial delegation to adjust the establishment of the Dominion of Canada. SIR JOHN ROSE, K. C. M. G., is also a Scotchman by birth, put has resided in Can- ada since hisearly childhoo!, He 1s a lawyer by. proe fession, having amassed a competence in Montreal by his practice, prinelpally in commercial cases, He was recently Minister of Finance of Canada, and resigned that position in the summer of 1366 to enter the banking house of Morton, Rose & Co., of London. Since his residence in Engiand he has had the honor of Knighthood conferred upon him as reward for his Canadian services. He is a Knight Commander of the Order of St, Michael and St. George, an cid and tnconspicudns Order, recently restored, with the avowed object of rewarding co.onial and other officers. The number of members in the Order of the Bath being strictly lim- ited, the Order of St. Michael and St. George, the numbers of which are anltnited, has been found very convenient. Sir Edward Thornton isa member of this order, Sir John Rose is a very courteous, mild-mannered man, sald to be very timid in his public acts, and it is supposed that both be and Sir Edward Thornton will probably vote on gil questions with the majority of their colleagues, His wife ts an American lady, very much resembling Mrs, Fish in chgragtgr and aecomplistiyonts. os" °"MR, MONTAGUE BERNARD is g man of degided ability.

To THE Eprror oF THE HERALD:— The appointment of Earl de Grey and Ripon, the Masonic Grand Master of England, as president of the Engilsi members of the commission on the Alabama claims, and his visit to this country, will afford the Fraternity an ellgibie opportunity to testify their appreciation of his merited eminence as a Mason and his noble benevolence as aman. The public and the private life of the Earl has been distinguished for @ liberal and enlight- ened co-operation with every measure for the public good and for the exercise of a bountiful and bene- ficent charity. His brother Masons in America will do weil to avail themselves of this occaston to tes. tity their fraternal regard for the worthy Grand Master of England and for his estimable virtues and shining talents. I make this suggestion because EF belteve that Masonry is calculated more than any other institution to unite the nations of both comit- nents in the bonds of mutual good will ana copzmon brotherhood, Yours, respectfully, STEPHEN ENGLISH, 137 Broadway.
