The losses are enormous. There is great distress in Paris, which is invested on ail sides. Fresh armies have marched from the South of France, to attack tbe Prussians in the rear. There are dissensions among the garrison of Paris, some of whom clamour for capitu lation before the bombardment commences. Urgent entreaties are being made to bring up fresh armies to attack the Prussians in the rear. The Prussians have 100 [1000 ?J siege guns in position, and it is the opinion of good judge 3 that the city will not hold out two days after the general bombardment openß.
