THE FOOD SUPPLY IN PARIS.
The Independence Beige, of November 19, publishes a letter from an Englishman on the state of Paris on November 8, on which day he left the French capital. The living was bearable. As regards meat, people were only rationed with respect to beef and mutton, and the prices were moderate. The flesh of horses and asses was also to be had, and altogether the supply of meat would last three months at least. Bread was not served out by rations, and there would b"e sufficient until April. There was enough wine .for two years, and sugar and salt were sold at the usual prices, while vegetables were to be had in abundance. The troops are ready, it is added, for anything but a surrender, and they are asking to be led out against the enemy. The Independence says the trustworthiness of the Englishman who gives these details is above suspicion.
