The recent dispatch of Prince Bismarck threatening to re-occupy the provinces which have been evacuated, on account of trouble between the French and German inhabitants, excites the French press to renewed bitterness against Germany. The tone of the journals generally is well expressed by the following extract from one of them, which says: 'Silence of the vanquished is the only fit reply to the insults of the victors.
A river of blood has divided us.
We learn to suffer and to wait.'
The ladies of Strasburg have organized a committee to receive subscriptions towards payment of French indemnity to Germany. Prominent citizens in the Department of the Ardennes have been arrested in consequence of quarrels with Bavarians quartered there and French citizens. The Germans are making a census of the private fortunes of the wealthier citizens of the occupied departments. The Mot d'Ordre is authority for the report that the Prince de Joinville is about to resign his seat in the Assembly to strengthen the position of Duc d'Aumale.
