Nothing in the papers this morning. In the _Figaro_ an article from that old humbug Villemessant. He calls upon his fellow-citizens in Paris to resist to the death. "One thing Frenchmen never forgive," he says,--"cowardice." The _Gaulois_ contains the most news. It represents the Prussians to be all round Paris. At Versailles they have converted the Palais into a barrack. Their camp fires were seen last night in the forest of Bondy. Uhlans have made their appearance at St. Cloud. "Fritz" has taken up his quarters at Ferrieres, the chateau of Baron Rothschild. "William"--we are very familiar when we speak of the Prussian Royal family--is still at Meaux. "No thunderbolt," adds the correspondent, "has yet fallen on him." The Prussian outposts are at the distance of three kilometres from St. Denis. Near Vitry shots have been heard. In the environs of Vincennes there has been fighting. It appears General Ambert was arrested yesterday. He was reviewing some regiments of Nationaux, and when they cried, "Vive la Republique" he told them that the Republic did not exist. The men immediately surrounded him, and carried him to the Ministry of the Interior, where I presume he still is. The _Rappel_ finds faults with Jules Favre's circular. Its tone, it says, is too humble. The _Rappel_ gives a list of "valets of Bonaparte, _ce coquin sinistre_," who still occupy official positions, and demands that they shall at once be relieved from their functions. The _Rappel_ also informs its readers that letters have been discovered (where?) proving that Queen Victoria had promised before the war to do her best to aid Germany. Butler of a friend of mine, whose house is close by the fortifications, and who has left it in his charge, has just been to see me. The house is a "poste" of the National Guard. Butler says the men do not sleep on the ramparts, but in the neighbouring houses. They are changed every twenty-four hours. He had rather a hard time of it last night with a company from the Faubourg St. Antoine. As a rule, however, he says they are decent, orderly men. They complain very much that their business is going to rack and ruin; when they are away from their shops, they say, impecunious patriots come in to purchase goods of their wives, and promise to call another day to pay for them. On Saturday night the butler reports 300 National Guards were drawn up before his master's house, and twenty-five volunteers were demanded for a service of danger. After some time the twenty-five stepped forward, but having heard for what they were wanted, eighteen declined to go.
