SinceM. Gambetta. tlie defacto head of the French Government, made his escape from Paris in a balloon, it has been proposed to entitle hin, “ Prince of the Power of the Air.” A strong earthen barricade lias been erected before the cages oi the lions, leopards, tigers, and panthers, in the Jardin dcs Plantes, at Paris, to prevent their escape in the event of a projectile destroying the bars of their prison, A correspondent of the Times, speaking of General D’Anrelles dcs Paladines and the Army of the Loire, says that it is the general opinion of the German officers that if there had been a few more such generals ,and such troops in the earlier days of the war, there might never hjive been a Sedan or a Metz. A regular market for r-its is opnn daily in the Place de I’Hotel de Yille at Paris. The animals are sold alive, and the prices vary from thirty tothirtv fivecentimes. In theiliieHochechouart a marchand de comestibles hangs out Jogs, cats, and rats in rows with the prices attached.
