GERMAN TREACHERY IN PARIS.
Ihe Paris Journal narrates that "some days ago some chests -were seized, which were found to contain Uhlan uniforms. Yesterday the arms were found. The 30,000 or 40,000 Germans who inhabited Belleville and La Villette before the decree of expulsion was issued had been formed into Regiments. At a given moment, and concurrently with an attack by the besieging forces, we should have been taken in rear by false Uhlans, who would have charged upon us, and caused us to believe that the city had been entered either by a breach or through the sewers or catacombs. Some persons appointed for that purpose were to have called out' Treason,' and then our troops would haVe been assailed in front and rear." The police took possession of thirty-two trucks, all laden with arms and ammunition. Among these arms were chassepots and needle guns bearing the Prussian eagle. It is said that cuirasses and lances were also found.' •
