LEGER, The last of the great Three-year-old contests for the year will be decided to-day. It is the 95th 'anniversary of the St, Leger, and probably not more than a dozen horses will be found competing in the struggle. Now that Mac.- gregor has been struck out of the list Kingcraft has become the favourite, and vast sums of money will be lost should this horse not be the first at the poet. Gertrude and Wheatear have both proved themselves good animals, but Kingoraft has satisfied his owner that he is their superior, so that victory on the Town Moor would stem almost a forgone conclusiom The Times sayets —Arrayed against Kingcraft will prob ably be found Palmerston, Bonny Swell, Normanby, or Hawthornclen and Sunlight, who have all succumbed to him this year, while of those who have nob met him during his three-year-old career the most dangerous appear to be Captivator in the same stable as Gamos), Taberniacle, Whtear a ood looking snare, Kingcraft's stable, and like him the property of Lord Falmouth—The Boy, and one or two othera. Whether danger is to be apprehended from the field, or whether the favourite is to emulate the per iormances of Lord Lyon, Gladiateur, and Blair Athol, by winning both Derby and St. Leger, time will shew, al though the latest betting does not seem to indicate mirth tlanger to the Derby winner, who is firmer than ever.

PARIS AND THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE. PARIS, MONDAY. The pews that the American Minister at Berlin has been instructed by his Government to mediate in favour of peace, is the excitement of the day. It has created immense sensation in diplomatic and official circles. The Prussians are steadily advancing on Paris by Compiegne and by Nanteuil. Their advance posts were last night at Lagny and M.elun. The French are working night and day for the defence of the capital, and declare that, if Paris be reduced to ruins, they will not sur render. The streets are threnged with Gardes Mobiles arriving from all parts of the country. None with the exception of those from Brittany, b.ive as yet itceived improved sloes: The detached forts of Paris were constructed- to mount 4 - 1152 guns, of w.hteh 135 are mortars, The &Ice:tate cos mount 1,,226 gime. The Prus sian Army Cerps received orders to be in position an the. 14th instant. Their rapid advance will, without doubt, end:bk. them to best, ; but the weeks fort the defence of the capital have been pushed on with such energy that the garrison will be in a fit state to repel attack. The de fences for the viaduct et Bercy ate much advanced. the Seine barred with boats and pitetts, and paved with torpedoes. Gunboats are in waiting near Bercy. The authorities are confident that mine of the enemy AA)} return to their own country. A further delay or the payment of commercial bills, until the 14th October, has been decreed by the Govern ment. The gardens of the Tuileries are occupied by the artillery of General Vinoy's corps, encamped therein. The outskirts are crowded with troops, the Palais d'lndustrie is filled with artillery and gendarmes, the theatres are ordered to be closed and arranged for the reception of troops. Within but a few days. all expect that a struggle will be .aging, unparalleled for ferocity in the annals of the world. The Fench are becoming more and more determined to fight to their last man. The threats of women against the Prussians are loud and deep. Until Sedan the enemy had but the army to contend with : they have now the people, who have risen ea ?nave. The last train for Lyons leaves this afternoon. The employes of the Minister of the Interior, M. Gambetta, have started to-day for Tours, which is to be the seat of the Diplomatic Body in case of siege, though some accounts have it that several Ambassadors are so anxious to maintain their direct relations with the Government that they will not leave the capital in any case. M. Jules Favre, who was to have left for Tours, will, it is said, remain. Life in Paris just now is becoming no easy matter. Every day the price of provisions grows higher, and the old unpopu lar tax on butchers' meat Is reimposed. Another decree provides that rations shall be provided by the munici palities for such of the National Guards as may apply for them, andcredit for I,ooo,ooofra. Is opened for this purpose at the Ministry of the Interior. There are conflicting stores about Garibaldi. One is that he has offered his services to the Republic, at the head of fifteen thousand volunteers ; another, that he is ill at Caprera; another, that the Provisional Government had informed him that his presence would just now be dangerous on French soil. The following letter from him, dated Caprera, September 7, has been published " To MY FRlENte.—Yesterday I said 'to you, war to the knife against Bonaparte. To-day, I say we must help the French Republic by everypossible means. Myself an invalid, I have offered my services to the Provisional Government of Paris, and I hope that it will not be im possible for me to discharge my duty. Yes, my fellow citizens, we must regard it as a sacred duty to hell:, our brothers of France. Our mission will not certainly con sist in fighting those German brethren who have been the instruments of Providence to overthrow in the dust the tyranny which oppressed the world; but we go to support the only system which can secure the peace and prosperity of nations. I repeat, sustain by all possible means that French Republic which, rendered wise by the lessons of the past, will be one of the chief pillars of human regene ration. 4`GARIBALDI." Speaking of letters the Partriarital publishes an extra ordinary epistle said to have been sent by the Czar to the Prussian King. "My dear uncle,—l wish for peace, 300,000 men of my army await your reply on the banks of the Vistula." This letter is given In connection with an anecdote of two Russian ladies who were on intimate terms with some members of the Russian Embassy. The' ladies in.cprestion were to have left Paris yesterday for St. Petersburg to avoid the siege, bat at the last moment they suddenly declared that they would not go and they began unpacking their bons. When , questioned asto the reason they replied that ab the embassy they had been assured that peace was imminent, and had been told of this won derful epistle. It is certain that whatever the issue of events the Parisians are determined on resistance, if besieged. To-day, at mid-day, a solitary individual was haranguing is group of persona in the Rue Montmartre, maintaining ghat resistance was useless, and that Paris had better surrender. His eloquence was cut short by some bystanders, who carried him off to the authorities. A crowd followed crying, "He is a Prussian spy?' "He is worse than that !" said a young girl of ben or twelve summers. "He is a Parisian who is afraid t" The shouts which followed tested the popular appreciation of this sally, and the measureless contempt felt for the Peace at any Price advocate, The intervention of the neutral powers is the only thing likely to avert the crisis, and on this subject there is as yet no definite information. In some quarters the estab lishment of a Republic is supposed to assist the peace negotiations, in others it is thought to delay them. Rus sian sympathies are certainly not Republican, yet the interference of the great Muscovite Power on behalf of France is confidently looked for. Russia is said to he particularly anxious to have a European Congress, in order to obtain a modification of the Treaty of 1856, which she has already suggested to the Porte, but which the latter declared she could not alter singly. It is believed that if Prussia opposes her wishes, Russia's displeasure will be very plainly mani fested. The North East Correvondence publishes a communica tion from Constantinople on this subject, stating that at the same time that Russia requested the revision of the Treaty, General Ignatieft asked that several Russian frigates then cruising In the Mediterranean, which had not time to regain the Baltic, might pass the Darda nelles and Bosphorus, and take refuge in a Russian port on the Btack Sea. The Grand Vizier made the same reply to both requests. The Porte, he said, could not act separately on amatter decidedin aEuropean Congress. The Russian requests troubled the Turkish councils not a little since though Ali Pacha was determined to uphold the rights of the Porte, all the Ministers, with the excep tion of the Minister of the Interior, wished to make all possible concessions to Russia. Ali Pacha in consequence, tendered his resignation to the Sultan, who did not accept it, and took days to reflect. After a long conversation with the Sultan, however, Ali Pacha withdrew his resig nation, and is stronger in his post than ever. What effect this imbroglio will have on French interests remains to be seen. The Figaro publishes a letter from a captain of the Garde Mobile at Laon, in which it la stated that the honour of blowing up the citadel of Laon does not belong either to General Ternin or to Commandant de Chayelles, but to the artillery guard. He says the farmer were both to blame for surrendering the garrison, which was well stored with provisions and with munitions of war. The Liberte makes mention of M. Thiers's mission to England, Austria, and Russia, and declares that in meeting M. Thiers the foreign Governments will recognise that they have all France before them. it does not, however, pretend to say What may be the result of his mission, because the state of affairs is so singular, but it maintains that France is in peril of death, and that M. niers is representing her in the hopes of saving her. , Those who examine the signatures which are put to the official acts will see that Republican, Liberal, Radical, Parliamentary, and Military, France have joined together to send to foreign Courts a Frenchman, and such a mission must inspire faith. The Federal Council of Switzerland has addresed a circular to the Government of the Cantons, which refers to the recent changes in France, and the new powers that are in force there. Switzerland has always acknowledged the right of a people to have the government of their choice, and as France has proclaimed herself a Republic, they are ready and willing to recognise her as such. They declare their belief that the good understanding which has prevailed during centuries between France and Switzerland will still continue to flourish and that the bonds of unity will be more strongly cemen t e d by the common desire for, free institutions. The sympathy of the Swim for the new rime has assumed a practimi FITE SUN, LON DON, W EDNESD AY, SEPTEMBER 14, '. 8 70. form. A: deputation has beett sent to .

The Swiss papers spoke with respect of the thus concluded Emperor Napoleon, and said that he was a faithful ally of their country. The Bunch, of Berne, says that the military forces which will be 'Sent to Paris by the Germans will be massed in the following manner :—The army of the Prince of Saxony and that of the Crown Prince will advance upon a spot between l'Aisne and La Seine to wards the northern and eastern parts of Paris. While these are on the march- the alto: army wl4l proceed to the south. of Paris. The journal de Havre says that ißte eity expects the arrival of the Prussian% and is ?fortifying itself. Two demonstrations have been made in honour of the United States~ The United States Consul appeared at .his win. dows, and returned thanks 'to the cr,o,w4 in Zuglish for the honour they had done to him _ The Burgomaster of Brussels has received, a icttp* from the French Legation on the subjqct of the care bestowed on the wounded of the belligerent armies, the Municipa Council having offered to defray all the attendant ex penses of the affair. The French charge d'affaires de clares that the Belgian Government, by its generous con duct, has offered a cheering spectacle to foreign nations. Upon hearing that two corsairs had passed the Straits of Gibraltar, M. Esquiros gave full powers to M. Marne. Colonel of the National Guard, to call out the armed force, The National Guard has taken the initiative in making a subscription to give General.T.Thrich a sword of honour. The Epoca, a Madrid journal, points out in a clear manner the new character which Prussia has given to the war she is carrying on against France. King William and Count Bismarck will have cause to regret the hostility which they displayed towards the French, and they had better pause while there is yet time. If they do not take heed to their ways they will incur a serious responsibility. The Epoca thinks that the influence of France has never been so terrible fop Germany as it will be now, having changed from Imperialism to Republicanism. THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE STATE OF AFFAIRS. The Can,stitutionnel says that the despatch from Prague, affirming that the United States had declared they could not view with indifference the losses sustained by a peo ple whose Constitution resembled their own, produces a profound sensation in diplomatic circles. The Siecle declares that if any negotiations have been undertaken, the neutral Powers must have taken the initiative, for France has made no effort in that direction. Let the neutral Powers fulfil their duty, it adds, in seeking to put a stop to the horrors of war, but they must under stand that the Republican Government is the faithful exponent of the views of the French people in resolving to defend to the last extremity the honour and the terri torial integrity of France. The Union thinks it is necessary to say over and over again, in order that history may fully comprehend it, that all the horror and mystery of the present war may be ex plained by the fact that Prussia had more than twelve hundred thousand soldiers in arms, while France pos sessed no mare than three hundred and thirty-seven thou sand. The Presse says that the German papers must see that the Revolution which they hailed as a sign of dissension among the French people, has, on the contrary, reunited all hearts in an unanimous sentiment of resistance to the enemy, and that the forces of France have received an immediate addition, instead of diminishing. The Pays mentions some recriminations which the Siecle has made, and remarks that they 'mist bear in mind their duty of shewing a good front to the Prussians, and keeping silence with respect to bitter reflections and per sonalities. The Soir maintains that individual action is of no avail against the terrible engines of destruction which the Prussians bring to bear upon them. It advises the mili tary authorities to relinquish the old custom of charging with the bayonet, and to improve their weapons of war fare. "Let us not," it exclaims. "confine ourselves to diligences while others employ railway carriages, and to rural postmen, while our enemies use the telegraph. The Opinion Nationale avers that even should the Prussians encamp at the Champ de Mars nothing will have been decided. France will still continue the struggle, and it will be necessary to take possession of it town by town. From tare north to the south, from Lille to Perpignan, the,Pruf3sians will meet with the same deter mined and desperate resistance. _ _ _ The Liberte explains that this is a war of races as well as a war of conquest, and the Germans will recognise the error they have committed in making common cause with Prussia and becoming the instruments of her blind ambi tion. The Gazette de France advises the statesmen who follow Kirg William to remember the proverb so often quoted in Germany, " God has taken the measure of the trees, so that they shall not mount up to Heaven." [The departmental press also contains *flections on the national crisis.] The Phare de la Loire insists on the importance of having resolute men to act in the faoe of sinister sugges tions. It believes that France can be saved if the depart ments came to the aid of Paris. The Journal de Rouen thinks the Prussians will be sur prised to find the Parisians as calm in their attitude as they are firm in their resolutions. The Progres says that men must be enrolled in all parts to march to the defence of Paris. At Marseilles alone 17,000 volunteers had banded together, and all the large towns would follow their example. FATHER HYACINTHE AND THE AMERICAN MINISTER. The brother of Father Hyacinthe has transmitted to the Temps a letter which that celebrated man has written to the United States Minister at Paris. In this com munication, which bears the date of Bouliac, September 10, Father Hyacinthe says : " Monsieur le Ministre,—l have been detained in the country for this month past by the state of my health, which has been affected by various misfortunes, and I re gret to he prevented from shaking the hand which has written a letter so nobly sympathetic with my country. This letter is a page in the history of liberty in the two worlds. It revives the recollections of Washington and La fayette, and proves that if despotism did succeed in dividing the two governments freedom had never ceased to unite the two people. Europe, who lids witnessed the blood shed in our heroic defeats, keeps silence still, but already America, notwithstanding the ocean which rolls between us has made her voice heard. She proclaims that neither the extent of distance, nor the diversity of races, can make strangers to each other those nations which have one mind, and she claims for the French Republic her young sister the right which she is privileged to define, because she first knew how to practice it, the inalienable right to live in working for the good of all. lam happy, Monsieur le Ministre, that such sentiments should have found their authorised interpreter in a man whom I esteem as highly as yourself. " HYACINTHE." THE TERMS OF PEACE. Tne i'aris correspo of the Illorrizny Post, writing last night, says : The Prussian terms of peace are now said to be these three : MANIFESTO OF GERMAN WORKMEN IN FAVOUR OF PEACE. The delegates of the German sections of the Inter national have published a manifesto to their compatriots, of which the following is the substance :—" An unex pected change has taken place in the situation. Napoleon is a prisoner ; the Republic is proclaimed hi Paris; a new Government is established in France. After twenty years of a shameful slatery, the French people have arisen and resumed the. direction of their own desti nies. Let us acclaim the French Republic.. This change will bring about, we may hope, the end of the war. §o long as the legions formed by Napoleon threatened Germany, it was the duty of us Germans to carry on the war to secure the safety and independence of the country. But after our successes we must not allow ourselves to be intoxicated by victory. Tire new French Government will seek to make peace with Germany, and withdraw Napoleon's declaration of war. Was it the French people who declared war against us ? No, it was Napoleon, and France has for ever broken with him. • Do not let us be misled by the fact that the successes of the German troops have—rendered the war more popular in France than it was at first. A great nation cannot long tolerate the enemy on its soil. It is natural that France. forgetting for the moment the man who has occasioned her misfortunes, should only think of delivering the country from the foe. But the Democratic Government will be animated by the senti ment that the French and German peoples are brothers, and will seek to remove the enemy from France by peace, 'But the Government must be assisted in this by the offer of an honourable peace. In truth, France is sufficiently punished for having so long endured the shame of the Second Empire, and the German people ought to remem ber that it cannot be their duty to trample under foot a great nation of brothers. It is the interest of Germany to con clude an honourable peace, for a peace disgraceful to France would be nothing more than a truce which would only last until she felt herself strong enough to shake off the disgrace. It is the duty of the German workman in particular to declare that they will not sanction an insult to the French people. If peace he not at once made the French Republic will be extinguished in the blood of Republicans, and Germany will be covered with oppro brium, or else free France will, as in the days of the great revolution, win a glorious victory over the foreigner. We shall be told that it is necessary at least to take from France, Alsace and Lorraine. Instead of securing Ger many against future wars from France as some contend, such an act would make war a European institution, would perpetuate a military despotism as a necessity for the defence of Western Poland, and the newly annexed provinces. It would a measure above all others cal culated to ruin alike both Germany and France. Those who are not bewildered by passing events must see that such a conclusion to the war of 1870 would as. surely bring about a war between Germany and Russia as the war of 1866 brought that of 1870. It depends upon the victors whether the war of 1870 shall be beneficial or destructive for Germany. If they seize upon Alsace and Lorraine, France, in concert with Russia, will make war on Prussia, whereas, if the German con querors conclude an honourable alliaribe with France, this war will deliver Europe from - Muscovite dictatorship, absorb Prussia in Germany, allow the Western Continent to develop itself freely, and produce that general social revolution which only awaits a similar impulse. From all points of view then we protest against the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine. The Germen workmen, in the interests of France, of Germany, of peace, liberty, and civilisation, will not suffer such an act of Cossack bar barism as the annexation of the French provinces. 1. Five milliard of francs (.C200,000,000) indemnity. 2. The cession of half the French fleet. 3. The entry of the Prussian army into, and the signa ture of a treaty of peace in, Paris. The first two conditions present no great difficulties. The French would willingly pay a money indemnity, and the exact amount would be a mere matter of bar gain through which a middle term could easily be reached. Nor would they make any difficulty about the fleet, for whatever may happen, when once peace is re-established they will no longer endure the charges necessary to keep up, a large fleet any more than they will endure an enormous standing army. The third condition, however, will never be so much as listened to till the Prussians have won their way into the capital by sheer force of arms and the chances of successfulresistance increase with every hour. The Berlin correspondent of the Vienna Ncue Freie Presse sends the conditions of peace which the King of Prussia will demand. The Presse publishes the statement under reserve. The following are said to be the conditions: —After the takiug 9f Paris the King of Prussia will issue anEsdikeirtv - Val; Wench puciple, delaariug ilat, the LESSONS OF THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR. The Nazione says that those who will consider the events of a month of war which has comprised in itself the story of a century, will find materials not so much for wonder, but , for great and salutary lessons for all people. A nation which was amongst the foremost n Europe, has been invaded and menace,' is c apital ,an army which had acquired the character of being invincible, ika-m been abandoned by fortune in every encounter; a sovereign, whose words have hitherto been echoed throughout Europe, has been made a prisoner; and all these things have happened in the course of a month. Heaven preserve us from exulting over the misfortunes of a nation which has fought with us for an independence. We would rather seek for the causes which have produced effects as stsange as they were unexpected. We would turn them to the profit of our country, and we advise our sister nation who is put to such a severe test to do like wise. A worm has been gnawing at the heart of the noble nation for some time. In the short time of seventy years we have seen in France three Republics, two Monarchies, two Empires, a series of revolutions from 'B9 till the First Empire, three Revolutions from '3O to '49, and again we witness the commencement of another one. This is the worm which has been gnawing France. Nothing has been stable. All was uncertainty and precarious ness. A revolution upset the order of things, andthe very next day they began to desire another change. In France, in the Corps Legislatif, in the Senate, in the public administrations, in the forces by land and sea, in the journals, and lastly in the scientific .academies, have there not been, and will there not always be, Legitimists, Orleanists, Republicans, and partisans of the Emperor? From thence it follows that universal scepticism exists among the multitude, who .are weary of the constant change from this to that order of things and accustom themselves little by little to be uncertain in whom to believe and in whom to place confidence. Let us compare 1792 with 1870. In the former year the same enemy invaded France, then, as now, directed by able leaders, the pupils of the great Frederick. But France conquered, because it was France in its entirety, because in France there were only two parties, the Bour bonists and the Revolutionists. In 1870, assaulted by the same enemy, France has fallen. There have not been wanting proofs of heroism,' and the courage of the French oldiers has been exhibited, but until now they have not conquered. Many causes have been assigned for the failure, such as the want of appliances, the incapacity of the captains; but the real reason has been the divided state of feeling which existed. When the rival parties disputed in the Corps Legislatif Sagunto was fought, when the Government hesitated to give out arms because they knew that whichever party got them would turn them against the executive power in the first place, when from the war between France and Prussia arose fierce and bitter, the war between the moribund Empire and the ,new Republic, what wonder was it that the people remained inert, and that in 1870 a different order of things prevailed to that which existed in 1792 ? We must all feel that France stands in greater need of moral than of material force, and amid the words of defiance she manifests the desire and the want of peace. Far some time past she has attached too much importance to ex ternal' appearances, and neglected the cultivation of those virtues which form the true life of a people. We trust that our citizens will profit by this example, and recog nise that no nation can offend with impunity against these holy principles which constitute the force of civil society. A GERMAN VIEW OF THE CIRCULAR OF M. JULES FAVRE. The following criticism on M. Favre's circular appears in the Nord Deutsche Allegemeine Zeituni :--" The circular of M. Jules Favre is scarcely calculated to inspire a hope that the provisional Minister for Foreign Affairs has risen to the level of his position. He pleads like an advocate for a lost cause the defence of which he has undertaken ; he seeks for ,extenuating circumstances ; he attacks the opposite party cleverly, but in no way ap preciates as a statesman should the present situation. A statesman calculates on facts, but M. Jules Favre does not seem to consider as realities either the 800,000 men in the German army who have bought their victories with the most precious blood of Germany, nor the destruction of the armies of France. He says, ' You have fought with Imperialist France; now France has become Republican; go home, then, and if you don't go home we have the Garde Mobile and the Garde Nationale abd the barri cades.' It is simply childish. Poor M. • Jules- Favre ! In 1851 you had also the Garde Mobile and the Garde Nationale and the barricades. What becitme of them? In 19 years these gentlemen have learned nothing, and theg have forgotten everything. We know but little as to the abilities of General Trochu, now Minister of War and Governor of Paris; but we believe that if M. Jules Favre were to hold a private conversation with him, and -wtry fro prvig* lea him ycriaviray cq tv tilLsr FrfaVAralph fv* resistance of the Garde Mobile, the Garde Nationale, and the barricades, he would obtain as his sole reply a signi ficant shrug of the shoulders. M. Jules Favre says that, personally, he was opposed to the war:* What shall we conclude from-this? If every French citizen were asked singly if he had been in favour of the war, he would assuredly reply No ;' and, nevertheless, the nation was lor the war, and the Left, desiring to render Imperial Government impossible, probably contributed more than any others to the outbreak of hostilities. M. Jules Favre also says that the King of Prussia has declared that he was not making war upon the French people, but upon the Imperial dynasty. Where has his IVtajesty said this? M. Jules Favre can only have alluded to the royal pro clamation of the 11th August, in which it is said. ' I make war upon soldiers, and not upon French citizens.' Thus we make war upon French soldiers, and as it is pre cisely the existing Provisional Government that would make soldiers of all the French people, it is they who, would convert the war into one against the French people. For a considerable time, in truth, France has been warring against the German people in the most cruel fashion. M. Gambetta, a member of the existing Government, was the warmest instigator of the expul sion of Germans from French territory. Does M. Jules Favre reckon this as nothing? What do these ex pulsions mean of peaceable citizens who can be blamed for nothing but belonging to a people who, to an insult cast in their teeth, have replied by the victories of Weis semburg; Woerth, Metz, and Sedan ? Has the Provisional Government recalled this measure ? No ; it has aggra vated it. A decree of the new Prefect of Police menaces with the military tribunals every German who, from eight in the morning of September 6, may be met with in the department of the Seine and Seine-et- Oise." INTERVIEWING BISMARCK. The Standard correspondent at Rheims sends the following account of an interview with Bismarck, at the King's head-quarters :—" I have had another and a longer interview with Count Bismarck ; not quite across the walnut and the wine, but over, at least, that champagne in the heart of whose native soil we are, and which is now flowing so freely down German throats. He was full of talk, and all of the liveliest kind. 'We shall stay here to-morrow, I think, he said, and perhaps the day after. We must give the Parisians time to cook in their own juice.' He made very merry over the new French Ministry, of whose composi tion I now heard for the first time. But he had also his jokes against his own countrymen. He had just received a letter from home. My wife writes,' he said, that I complain of our German bands and their bad music, but adds that they are just as badly off in that respect at Frankfort.' I inquired about his son, who, I had heard, had lost both legs at Mars-la- Tour. He answered merrily that he was hit only in one, and that one he should save, though the ball went in at the thigh and came out near the knee. He and his horse and the saddle had five wounds among them, the horse two, the saddle one, and the rider two. 'lt is well,' he said, the French fire so hurriedly and at such a dis tance, for their weapons are magnificent. But every sportsman knows what is the effect of aiming at an entire covey of partridges, instead of covering a single bird. You hit none. That is their case, luckily for us.' He went on to describe the fortunes of his other son on the same day ; how he was seen to fall with his horse, and was left for dead, but how he met his father, safe and sound, the same evening. The Minister himself had a little share in the events of that day's battle. which he related with much gusto. He was appealed to by a French priest, who found himself at a critical moment kept for the nonce a prisoner. There were good reasons for his detention, into which it is not necessary to enter; but the priest appealed to his gown, and pro tested violently against the detention. 'lt is quite right,' said the Minister, for all that. If you were to attempt to go, I would shoot you myself.' At length the moment arrived when the priest could safely be released. *By this time his good humour had re turned, and he departed with the polite assurance that the Minister, in his long career of civil duty, had not for- gotten the trade and functions of a soldier. The com pliment was narrated with evident satisfaction, for in this laud civilians are looked down upon, and I have myself heard the phrase applied to Count Bismarck, He is only a civilian.' He is himself not of that opinion, as the anecdote shews. But in whatever character we regard him, he is certainly one of the heartiest, frankest, and most genial of mankind." THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE AID OF THE WOUNDED. The special correspondent of the Telegraph, in a letter dated Bouillon, September 10, has the following severe remarks on certain members of this charitable under taking :—"I fear greatly—and, mind, I am speaking in the interests of both sides—that in the application of the immense subscriptions raised by the Inter national Socioty, the European benevolent public is being somewhat led astray. In every town, and at every hotel of every town I have visited during the last two months, there are many of these ambulance gentlemen taking their ease, and doing nothing whatever of the work which they volunteered to do. For instance, here, near Bouillon, there is a village called Givonne, on the road to Sedan, and about three miles from the latter place. At Givonne there are per haps two hundred and eighty or three hundred wounded. Of these one /hundred or so are Prussians. They have their own military ambulances, their own military sur geons, and everything admirably arranged. Their army came into campaign fully prepared to take care of all their wounded. The French came, as usual, trusting to chance or to Providence, and having really no hospital establishments whatever of their own. At Givonne they blindly trusted, as they seem to have done in everything during this war, to the good offices of others. The International Society is expected to take charge of their wounded, but it does not do so. If I have seen one member of the International So ciety hanging about the hotels at Sedan, Charleville, Bouillon, Francheville, and other places, during the last few days, I must have seen a round hundred. Even now, as I write, some eight or nine are chattering away on the steps of the hotel. I have only been here-twenty-four hours, but in that time three ambulance waggons of the International Society have passed through always spending a night at the hotel—laden with everything that can make the lot of the wounded less horrible than it would otherwise have been. But to the wounded they do not hasten. At Givonne the wounded are all in the church. They are lying upon damp straw. They have nothing to eat, no medicine, no medical comforts, no beds, nothing that can help in any way to their recovery. The only medical assistance the French wounded get is from the already overwwked zealous and anxious Prussian doctors, and from the two still more over worked medical man, civilians, of Bouillon. A more painful and, considering the immense amount of money subscribed. for this charity, a more unnecessary scgte •I never witnessed. I am but a bird of passage, and twenty-four hours from this I shall be many miles from Bouillon ; but I would, and I do, most earnestly recom meta the International Society to send out some persons in whom they have full confidence, to in vestigate what their ambulances are really doing. To me, and to whom I have spoken on the subject, these gentlemen seem to be loafing' too much about the land, passing their time as agreeably as they can, fussing to the hotels, singing their own praises, but doing very little. Nor is this my own solitary opinion. To-day, as three special correspondents of English papers, and one Englishman who represents the leading New York payer, were breakfasting together, some French gentlemen approached them, andbegged them to write and make known to their several employers how backward the ambulances of the International Society were in their work—or rather how entirely they seem to think that the end and aim of their business out here is to travel from town to .own, and talk about the work before them. French and Prussian military men agree in this. In no single military ambulance have any of these amateur medical assistants "taken off their coat," so to speak, and gone to work like men at what they engaged to do. The only exception I can make is in favour of some of the German volunteers who came to the frontier to help in the hospitals after the first affair. These were obliged to weck ; they were under the eye of the Prussian military authorities, and had they not done ..iso; they would have simply been turned out of the camp. The Sisters of Charity, whether French or German, are, as usual, all that can be desired. What wonderful women these are ! They indeed do, and talk not. But I assure you that owing to the number of flaneurs who wear the red cross on, a white band, and to the vast number of ambulances that are always to be met with at the door of every hotel in Alsace, the Ardennes, and on the Belgian frontier, the International Society is getting—l infinitely regret to state it—to be a mere byword, a pleasant joke upon a grim subject, on the theatre of the war. lam thankful that few of those mixed up with the management of the concern here are Englishmen." The Rappel states that the Provisional Government Las determined to abolish the punishment of death, and II t , ) that effect will Aliortly be 2~ublisl►ed, THE SIEGE OF METZ. When Marshal Bazaine was summoned to surrender Metz in consequence of the capture of Napoleon, he re plied that he did not trouble himself -about the Emperor All that he had to think about was Metz. Sixty heavy guns were placed in readiness to commence the bombard ment, but the King of Prussia sent word not to open fire. He is anxious to spare unnecessary destruc tion, and as Bazaine is strictly shut up, the King hopes that he may be starved into surrender. The Marshal has 80,000 men with him, and their capitulation is onlY a question of days. NAPOLEON AT WILHELMSHOHE. The Frankfort Journal of the 10th, says that the lines have fallen to the Imperial prisoner in pleasant places. He spent Thursday partly by himself, and partly in con ference with his numerous suite with respect to hie affairs. No limitation is placed upon his residence. The only condition laid upon him is that he must not go more than four miles from Cassel. He makes his walks in civilian dress, and the military men who are with hire have requested to be allowed to follow his example- The Emperor has visited the school, and talked wit h several of the children about their lessons, their hours of schooling, &c. The large suite which he brought with him are badly off. Much of the Emperor's baggage h as been lost on his marches and counter-marches. Of the e waggons and carriages which he took with him from Pari s only 16 have arrived at Cassel. Loui; Blanc has written to the Rappel setting forth in strong language the dangers which Europe incurs from Prussian aggression. The captive balloons commenced their operations yesterday at ten o'clock on the place Saint Pierre at Montmartre. The task of filling the balloons is per formed by sailors. The National Guard and the Infantry of the Line mount guard by the reserved enciente. The balloons go up every hour to the distance of ten hundred metres. There observations last for five minutes. Moveable barricades are being constructed in case the enemy, after taking a port, should penetrate into one of the extremities. M. Rochefort has been appointed corn mander-in•chief of this street army, and he has already accustomed his subordinates to the idea that a battle in one of the extremities of Paris might be fatal to the Prussians. Le Gaulois says that the Prince of Saxe, on the evening of the battle of Sedan, hearing at Chapelle, on the Belgian frontier, the last cannonade of the French, said " You hear, Messieurs, those last cannon shot ; they ar e the expiring sighs of that proud France, that nation se great and so brave." A French journal says that the Prussians have cooled down a little from their feverish excitement,' and they resolved to receive Napoleon with the silence of death wil e° he arrived as their prisoner. This rule was observed by the few persons who assembled at the station ; the eel' diers presented arms to the Emperor, who returned the salute by raising his hat. Since then parties of the curious have organised expeditions in the environs of Wilhelmshohe, and the trains are filled with those ivn e 'hurry to the spot. In a long report to the King, which is published in th e Staatsanzeiger, Count Bismarck says that the EnWe r°l. Napoleon, in the interview at Sedan, chiefly endeavoured to obtain favourable terms for his army, proposing to let the troops cross into Belgium to be disarmed. This ws s not acceded to. Napoleon declined, as a prisoner to treat for peace, deplored the misfortunes of the war, and d e ' Glared that he himself had not desired war, but that the pressure of public opinion in France had forced him in to it. The general political situation was not discussed. The conduct of General de Wimpffen and other French Generals was highly praised. The Siecle says that of all those who mixed themsel ves np in the work of rapine with th e ex -E m p eror , and of the miserable beings who have fled to foreign lands O h their treasure 3, when the most cowardly of the BonaPs` rt4 gave himself up to the Prussians, Roncher is, perhal)°, the man who bears the palm of ignominy.
