This cold will bring misery unutterable on the Parisians, among whom there was no great store of wood, as they had not laid in their winter provision of fuel. If complaints were heard a month ago, what willl they be now ? The plagues which desolate armies and are nursed by faniine have every scope in beleaguered cities. Small-pox, typhus, hunger — a fearful sisterhood to be dwellers within your walls — and an enemy relentless at your gates. For me, I confess, the Bight of Paris now is heartbreaking,' Will no one force htr will, and make her pale lips breathe forth the word which can save her, "Peace."
