THE SIEGE OF PARIS.
The Germans announce that at a council of war they decided to bombard when their reinforcements arrived. Large supplies of siege ammunition and guns were daily arriving. The forts of Paris commenced heavy firing on the night of the 20th, and tho garrison next morning made an attack but were repulsed after several hours' fighting.
The bombardment of Paris is delayed, because famine was beginning to pinch the besieged. Eats, cats, donkeys, and other animals were being eaten ; whilst hundreds of waggonloads of provisions were arriving from Germany to provision the city when they surrender.
