Diary of the Besieged Resident in Paris

CHAPTER VII
26/38

This newspaper, after asserting that the Government has received news from the provinces, asks a series of questions.

In the afternoon the editor was arrested, and this morning the _Official Gazette_ thus replies to the queries: No news has been concealed.

The last official despatch received is one from Gambetta, announcing his safe arrival at Montdidier.

The Government has received an old copy of the _Standard_, but this journal, "notoriously hostile to France," contained sensational intelligence, which appeared absolutely untrue.
To-day it has received a journal of Rouen of the 12th, and it hastens to publish the news derived from this source.

Bismarck never proposed an armistice through Burnside.
