User-Contributed Transcription 138/ prison to the king of Prussia, and 80,000 Frenchmen laid down their arms. - Strasbourg & Goul have surrendered, & Paris is now on immense fortress. - If Paris surrenders, I shall be utterly crestfallen! There is no reason why it can not mantain itself fortified, & well provisioned as it is; & if the Parisians haven't sufficient patriotism to remain united while the enemy is at their gates, they deserve the contempt of every-one. I wish I had command of Paris; any man that presumed to utter a word that might cause discord, would be instantly shot! & all the women, children, & useless cowardly men I would send into the interior; that they might not fill up the city, & consume the provisions. Bazaine must be having a pleasant time, shut up in Metz with a hundred-thousand men! The Prussians modestly ask for Alsace, Lorraine, & one of the forts overlooking Paris; what could be more humiliating. -
