THI , ] THE INTERIOR OF PARIS The Francais says that for some days past Paris has presented an appearance such as men of this generation have never seen. It is no longer the town of luxury and pleasure, of business rapidly transacted and life joyously carried on, it is the most important place of war in the world, preparing for a strife as grand 'as itself. Not a single carriage is to be met with in the town, either on the boulevards and the Champ Elys4es, or the most aristocratic quarters. Only the little conveyances of the doctors pass along. The heavy waggons and carts belonging to the railway trains have ceased their traffic, as no more merchandise is forwarded, The Rue du Sentier has closed its warehouses, the Rue des Bourdonnais does not receive a singe piece of cloth from Elbeuf, and the Rue de la Victoire has nothing to do with the workshops of Sarreguemines. The coach stands ane diminished in number, and the omnibus company has withdrawn a third of its vehicles without any inconve nience being felt, so great is the suspension in ordinary business affairs. On the other hand, at each step one meets the ambulance carriages of the military intendance, trains of artillery, and waggons bearing large pieces of cannon. The streets and the boulevards are no longer watered, and white dust rises from them like the smoke of powder. The trees of the boulevards have lost their leaves, and the burnt up chestnut trees of the Tuileries spread their im mense branches over the equipages of artillery. The garden is closed, as are the Louvre's gardens and the squares. The Champs Elysdes, the courtyard of the Louvre and many other places are filled with troops. The waters of the Seine are kept to a great height ; the Towing Company has ceased its services. There are still people to be met with in the street, but not of the same kind as formerly. Few women and children are seen, but many soldiers and an immense number of Mobiles. At the doors of the mairies, at the pillars of the Rue Rivoli, by the parapets of the bridges, may be seen crowds reading despatches. No more notices of theatres or commercial intelligence is to be met with, and the walls contain no advertisements but those from residents of equipment or military storekeepers. The police has dis appeared, Not a sergent de vine or a police agent can be met with. Here and there may be found a National Guard station set up at a shop. v The shops are open, but no business is done. The only stores well attended are those which provide military articles. The churches are more crowded than usual, the Gardes Mobiles of the departments paying them frequent visits. Troops are encamped in the neigh bourhood of the Treasury and the Bank, The Bourse is deserted by its habitues, and crowded with strangers. But little business is done, and it is the only place where people ask if Paris will be able to carry on its defence. The iiicture and photograph dealers have altered their windows, and not a single portrait' of the Emperor, Empress, or,Prince Imperial, can be Met with. Portraits of Garibaldi are plentiful, as he is again in favour. The best restaurants are almost deserted. No one goes to Durand or other elegant places of resort. The restaurants of a secondary character are rather better attended, being patronised by the Officers of the Garde Mobile. AN ESCAPED GERMAN. A German managed to escape from Paris on the 14th, and has published his experience of what he saw there. His account will, of course, be taken cum grano :—" Wat ever may be said, even though the present Government should deceive the people as grossly as the Empire did, Paris is scarcely provisioned ,for two or three weeks. Thousands and thousands have left the city, but strange Mobile Guards and the inhabitants of the surrounding district within ten or twelve miles have come in, so that the population still numbers about two millions. It is true that in the Jardin des Plantes there are a multitude of sheep, but there really are 120,000 for which in a few days there will be no more food ; they will be devoured by two millions of people in three days. So with the oxen in the Bois de. Boulogne, which obviously, unless they are previously starved, will only meet the normal de mand for beef for a few days. Already the daily demand for salt, fuel, milk, vegetables, and especially lighting materials, cannot be satisfied. Paris without gas, without sufficient oil and tallow, without lamps, without newspapers (for paper is lacking), without news from with out, Paris the frivolous, pleasure seeking, enjoyable, exposed to privations of all kinds, is no longer Paris. it is a Sparta, but inhabited, not by Spartans, but by luxu rious Corinthians, or rather looking to the much-used expression, ' Seine Babel,' by Babylonians." THE GERMAN PLAN OF OPERATIONS. Count Moltke's plan of operations combines the siege of Paris, with a general visitation of the departments, thus pressing at once on the capital and the provinces, and rendering each unable to assist the other. There is literally no part of France which is regarded as safe against his expeditions. One of the principal journals of Paris seriously attributes to him a design of seizing Toulon, and holding it as England holds Gibraltar. But we need not go beyond the circle of the facts of the day to find indications )f the Prussian General's plans. We learn from Tours that Orleans has fallen into the possession of the German force, which was described yes terday as mane3uvring near Pithiviers. On Monday, says the report, some skirmishing took place near Arthenay, and the French general commanding at Orleans, finding himself unable to resist the enemy, drew off his forces in the dir ection, it is believed, of Tours. Here then, the Germans are on the Loire. From Orleans to Tours the distance is only seventy miles, and unless MM. Crdmieux, Glais- Bizoin, and Fourichon shift their quarters soon, they run a great risk of being cut off from Southern France, to which it is understood they propose to remove. The army which has advanced by the Gap of Belfort is a powerful flying column of 60,000 men, constituted with a direct view to a system of rapid raiding. It has no unnecessary impediments, its cavalry is numerous, and it will be able to throw off detachments, whenever a well-held position has to be masked. Its duty will be to visit in turn the towns of Central and Southern France, in the first place to seize any points where it may be found that an attempt is being made to form military organisations, to disperse the corps, break up depots, and destroy stores. Further, it will make contributions upon towns which hitherto have not felt the pressure of the war, and from which demands come for its continunnce. Lastly, it is hoped that in this way more accurate conceptions of the state of the country and the helplessness of its Government will be communi cated to that part of the French public whi.ch has hitherto derived its impressions of the state of affairs from the bulletins published at Paris and Tours.—Daily News. THE BOMBARDMENT AND SURRENDER OF TOUL. A.RL ON, TUESDAY. Just returned from Toni. ' Travelled one day and two nights. The investment began August 14th. On the 16th an assault was made on the works at a point not defended by cannon. It was repulsed, with loss of several hundred Germans. Thereupon an irregular succession of bombardments followed, not sufficiently serious to effect anything. These commenced on the 23rd... The artillery employed was field and such mediaeval siege guns as had been captured at Marsal. The Bavarian railroad direction, who run the line Weissen burg—Nancy—Paris, offered to build a branch around Toul in a fortnight, but Moltke said, " No, we shall have Toul long before that." However, the straggling attack availed nothing, the fortress having a double escarpment with full bastions, no glacis, double ditch, thirty feet wide each, all round fully casemated, and defended by seventy five guns, of which twenty-six were heavyrifled from Stras burg, brought thence while yet France intended to defend Toul earnestly. Within the last fortnight heavy siege guns arriving from Germany were put in position on a spur of Mount Saint Michel, north ; on heights opposite Fau bourg Saint! Evere, south-west ; and at Dominartin Les Toul,-south-east. Nothing serious was then attempted until last Friday. At daybreak a concentrated bom bardment of the works was begun by twenty-four poundei batteries of the second and fourth artillery regi ments, supported by troops of the thirty-fourth infantry brigade, all of which form part of a new independent command under the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, embracing all that lies between the armies of Frederick Charles and the Crown Prince, that is, all the invading troops not engaged in the sieges of Metz and Paris. The firing continued all Friday, with active but very ineffective reply from the garrison. In the evening, the town being on fire in twenty-three places, the pressure of the inhabitants upon the commandant induced him to hoist white flags and offer to capitulate. The offer was immediately accepted by Colonel Manteuffel, commanding the siege corps, and the town was entered the same evening by the victors at seven. The conditions were precisely those of Sedan. A council of the municipality, held on Friday, decided not to favour surrender, but the pressure of indi viduals fearing useless destruction completely over whelmed the belligerent determination 'of the military and civil authorities. The garrison was ridiculously weak —6O c uirassiers, 100 line, 40 gendarmes, and 2,000 raw Mobiles ; among them not one regular artillerist .Cummanda.,nt, Major Hutle, an old 4 .11 7 lb Gi n officers are wrath' that such a force should have broken the Paris railroad for six weeks ; Now the railroad is restored to communicate direct with the Paris siege army. - Every thing bad been prepared beyond Toul for weeks, and trains were running by horse-power ; only a 12- fo of bridge, broken near Told, had to be replaced ; this was done on the 25th, and on the 26th the first locomotive went through. I went to Toul on the first inspector's train that approached the town after the surrender. Many houses are destroyed. The condition of things is worse than Sedan, not as bad as Bazeilles. The Gothic chapel of St. Gengoulph, A.D. 814. is almost ruined. The very imposing Byzantine Cathe dral of St. Mansuy, built-as early as 292, has only a win dow arch demolished, and its outside battered by a score of shells. There are few wounded, ,no sick, and much order in Toul. Only two battalions of ninetieth infantry remain as garrison. The prisoners of the native Mobile Guard were released under parole not to serve again this war. The town and environs have a picturesque appearance built much in old German style. Five hundred of the Mobiles had been trained during the siege to serve the guns. They did the artillery work, but in repulsing the assault of the 16th all the male inhabitants that could procure arms participated. Paris was closed in on the 19th as follows :—Fourth Corps opposite St. Denis, twelfth supporting it; then following from east to south the Guard and fifth, sixth, eleventh corps. The west em arc of 120 degreels, protected by the Seine doublings, was held by cavalry. The condition made by King William, pre limimuy to all peace discussions, is the entry into Paris, so says the officer of head quarters who left the city after Jules Favre's visit. I travelled and conversed from Corny to Frouard on the 25th with Favre's brother, who had arrived three days previously from Paris, via royal headquarters, with royal permission to enter Metz. He was charged by the Paris Government with full powers to treat for Metz, provided Bazaine would recognise the Paris authorities and their policy. On Sunday morning he returned from Met; being awaited at the Hessian outposts by Rittmeister von Willesen, Commander of Headquarters of the Second Army, who had conducted him through the German lines. He then had a final interview with Prince Frederick Charles, having had one previous to his entering, at which the Prince had approved his mission. His two days' stay in Metz had failed of its object, Bazaine being averse to all treaties as yet, and being slightly insubordinate towards the new Government since it proposed to nego tiate for peace. The Prince knows that for several weeks yet, at least, hunger will not be his ally against Metz, although disease is, to the extent of several hundred deaths daily. There is not the least intention at present to attack Metz by force, but simply to await the course of events at Paris, which are expected to culminate in something decisive within three weeks. At Paris no offensive movements are contemplated during the next three weeks; a strict investment only. Three deserters out from Strasburg on the 22nd say the great clock of the Minster is not injured. General Uhrich has suppressed all the last month's news. If the Mobile knew it, say these men, the defence could not continue. —Daily News Telegram. The bombardment of the fortress of Toni, the pos session of which is most important for us as regards railway communication, has been continued within the last few days with increased vigour. Since the 10th Septembor the bombardment has been incessant, and on an average eight shots per minute have been fired, and that mostly from heavy siege guns, so that the town was often on fire in six or more places at one time, and the garrison had to occupy themselves with ex tinguishing the fires and in answering our guns as well as they could by firing shell into our batteries. The effects of the smooth-bore siege guns that we had captured from the French vas so unsatisfactory that some of the heavier Prussian rifled ordnance was sent on in order to hasten the fall of this fortress, which cut off our direct communication with Nancy. A private letter from the village of Chaudeney states that the garrison of Toul and the commandant are eagerly expecting relief and support from a body of 5,000 National Guards from Langres. However, on the 24th inst., after the bombardment had been vigorously maintained the whole of the previous day, in consequence of which the town was on fire in two places, the commandant of Toul sent at five p.m. an officer bearing a flag of truce 4) our head-quarters,to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, expressing his desire to capitulate. The Grand Duke tele graphed to the Governor of Lorraine, General von Bonin, to know whether he might accept such offer of capitula tion, and in the course of the evening he received a reply saying that he could do so. The capitulation was drawn up on the same basis as that of Sedan, and the garrison, consisting of 3,000 men, were made prisoners of war, and to-day our regiments, Nos. 89 and 90, will march into the fortress as a garrison. The fall of Toul has been of the greatest importance for us, as our railway communication is now open and free as far as Paris."—Prussian Official Narrative. FRIDAY 'AND SATURDAY'S FIGHTING AT METZ. FROM THE " TIMES " CORRESPONDENT.) BEFORE METZ, SEPT. 23. The activity observed in the French camp, to which I referred in my last letter, has proved to be the precursor of hostile movements. It is possible, or even probable, that the only object of these movements is to harass the investing forces while ascertaining by strong armed re connaissances the strength of the German positions. They certainly succeed in keeping the German troops actively occupied. At some points the men have been almost continuously under arms during the last 36 hours and more, but with short intervals for rest or food.- Not to speak of trifling fusillades and stray shells, there occurred yesterday a smart affair in the immediate vicinity of the post which I visited and described in my last letter. Attracted by firing, I went down in the direction of La Grange-aux-Bois, and found that the enemy was advanc ing upon it in force. Under cover of a heavy cannonade' from Fort Quelen, preceded by a shower of shells, some of which struck the Grange, and others fell as far behind as Ars-Laquanexy and did considerable damage to the church, a strong division of French troops adv anted. They comprised artillery, cavalry, and infantry. They had previously been reconnoitred by the Germans from an excellent neighbouring point of observation. They knew their composition, strength, and direction, and were therefore at once prepared to meet them, and able to avoid a useless sacrifice of lives at their outposts. The French infantry were thrown into the woods round La Grange-aux-Bois in skirmishing order and in large force, occupying a line extending for about one mile to the Prussian right. This, of course, rendered the position of the Prussian outposts at La Grange-aux-Bois untenable. Warned of what was about to occur, I had already left the Grange about a quarter of an hour previously, and from where we stood we could see the puffs of smoke and hear the rattle of small arms—which sounded very like the mimic rattle of a field-day at the Curragh or at Aldershott. The Prussians in retiring availed themselves skilfully of every tree and knoll, and, from behind a series of breastworks which they had thrown up to strengthen their position, fired steadily upon the advancing enemy, and inflicted some severe losses. In order to reach the point at which their main supports were concentrated they had to pass over about half a mile of ground, of which they contested every inch skil fully and gallantly. It was now about three o'clock. The French, in advancing, lost the advantage of the sup port of their artillery and cavalry, for the Germans had so obstructed the roads by frequent and strong barricides, constructed of hewn trees which lined the military road to Metz, and the nature of the ground, covered with dense woods, was so unfavourable, that mounted forces could not act, and guns could note be brought forward. All this time, however, a heavy and continuous rain of shell of great weight was poured upon Mercy-le-Haut and Ars-Laquenexy from Forts Quelen and St. Julien. At the junction of the roads leading from Mercy and Ars—which meet nearly at right angles--the b-ermans met their supports. A large body of troops of all arms had been concentrated here, and were posted in strong positions. The Germans at once assumed the offen sive, and springing eagerly to the attack with an irresisti-. ble rush, they fairly drove back the French at a consider ably more rapid pace than that at which they advanced. All the German troops engaged carried their knapsacks, mess-tins fastened on the top of them, and their cloaks. The cloak is slung crosswise over the shoulder, round the knapsack and under the opposite arm. The cloak so rolled has turned many a bullet, and saved many a German soldier's life. So equipped, they poured upon the French infantry so heavy and close a fire that they were utterly unable to hold their 'ground. Already in advancing thus far they had found how strong a re sistance a small body of men could make, lighting with vigour and handled with skill, on ground of which the natural strength had been increased by the use of every means. The German troops, after having cleared 'the woods, drove the French back through the open, and here they inflicted consider able losses. La Grange-aux-Bois was speedily re occupied, and by five o'clock the French had been driven back within their lines. The affair lasted altogether about four hours. I had . been at La Grange aux-Bois at about 1 o'clock, and at a little before 5 I re entered it with the Prussian-it:l'mA. This was the secoll •,• • • 4 SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEIVIBER 29, 1870. time it had been taken by the French, but eachli me their * occupation had been short.lived. The regiment which bore the brunt of the onset on the German side was the 13th Regiment of the first Westphalian infantry division, the company principally engaged in the sting gles of the outposts being company No. 1, under corn inand of First Lieutenant Ritter, who was slightly wounded. He was the only officer hurt ;15 men in all were wounded, and one killed, on the Prussian side. The French losses were considerable. They left prisoners in our hands; but I have not heard how many. The prisoners and wounded of both sides were at once forwarded to Saarbruck. SEPTEMBER 24. Yesterday's engagemement was but a prelude to a more serious attack to-day. From the " observatorium " in the château at Mercy-le-Haut we could see this morning a strong body of troops gathering under the walls of Fort St. Julien, and presently they poured out along the road leading from the fort and extending towards the Prussian right. The day was very fine,' and, sitting up in that somewhat perilously exposed garret, peering through the hole in the roof which had been broken for the purpose, we could make out the d etails of the French columns. They were advancing in marching order—solid masses of troops pouring out, the infantry being supported by artillery and cavalry. This observatory was not, perhaps, the place best qualified to favour the uninterrupted enjoyment of scenery, for on the previous- day 126 shells had been fired at it; there were several more holes in the roof than were need ful or useful for the purposes of observation, but the spectacle was one of such stirring interest that it was im possible not to be absorbed in it. Despatches by orderlies and by telegraph carried on all sides information of the movements of the French, and the threatened points received timely warning, while preparations were made for immediate concentration. I sat there for about half an hour watching the details of the scene with M. Ernest Hart, who had come over with me—he having obtained a special pass from the Commandant, permitting him to pass the outposts for the purpose of assisting in making ar rangements for the disposal of the wounded in the previous engagements,—till we had notice to come down, as the French were obviously preparing once more to shell the place. It was now two o'clock, and presently the fire began. The guns of Fort Queleux opened a heavy fire, and the shells dropped fast among the woods immediately to the left and below the château, where the French knew that Prussian troops were hidden. For the first time, too, the guns from Fort des Bottes, the strong earthwork just constructed immediately in front of the château and below the fort, delivered a maiden fire. Tire shells, however, were for the most part overpitched ; the majority of them passed over the woods and fell into the meadows. There was a continuous roar of cannon on both the right and left flanks. Presently volleys from both Prussian and French infantry in the chausse'es immediately below us shewed that sharp fighting was going on at close quarters. We turned a little further to the left in order to get a better view of what was going on and as we moved we heard a new sound. Some mitrail lenses had opened fire. The sound was as if a ship had let go her cable and the chain was running out, making hoarse and grating music as it sfraped through the hawse hole. The fire began to take effect, and we could see men falling on both sides. From this position, how ever, we went over to the right, for the firing in that direction was heavier and more continuous, and it was certain, as, indeed, the preparations at Fort St. Julien, which we had witnessed in the morning, had foretold, that the real attack was being pressed on the Prussian left, in the direction of Thionville, and by Bazaine himself. It was towards that flank that the heavy body of troops which we had seen issuing from the left gates of Metz had taken their course ; and though part of the attack was at a distance of six miles from us, we could see the smoke and hear the sounds which told of heavy fighting. The guns on the French right which had threatened our own position were now silenced, but while the light lasted we could watch the clouds of smoke which burst in thick puffs from the French positions on the left, and they seemed to advance further and further into the Prussian lines ; but later on, as the dusk fell, the flashes of light which broke from the now gray woods, and the louder roar of cannon seemed to tell us that the Prussians had once more held their own, and were driving back the French under the shelter of their forts. Fort St. Queleux was now ablaze with signal lights, and Fort St. Julien re sponded with similar fires. The meaning of them, of course was known only to the French themselves. There is a report to-day here that the French were enticed into ad vancing well into the Prussian lines by a defence which was at the first comparatively feeble, that they even captured a provision train which was on the road, and made some prisoners, but that the Germans then closed in upon them, and not only robbed them of their prize, but took 700 French prisoners. It had grown too dark for us to ascertain where We stood, on the German left, what had been the precise series of events in the course of the battle on the right, but our impression, derived from what we could see, was what I have told you. THE TROPHIES OF THE WAR. The Staatsartzeiger has made an estimate of the trophies of the war. The skirmishes which took place during the reconnaissances that preceded the war caused but little loss to both sides. The affair of the 2nd of August, when the Prussians provisionally retired from Sarrebruck, cost the. French six officers and sixty-seven soldiers. The day of Wissembourg gave us 30 officers and 1,000 soldiers as prisoners, and besides 4 mitrailleuses, 15 cannons, 4 pounders, and seven 8-pounders, 31 provision waggons, 13 carriages, and 14 trucks of cartridges for the infantry. In the battle of Woerth the French lost 6,000 prisoners, of whom 100 were officers, 2 eagles, 6 mitrailleuses, 35 cannon, 42 waggons, 200 horses tents, and baggages for two divisions, besides two railway trains full of pro visions. The same day they lost at Spieheren, and after this battle, in the two engagments near Reichshafen and Sarreguemines, 2,500 prisoners, 4 cannons, 40 pontoons, several stores of provisions, 10,000 wollen covers, 40,000 hundred-weight of rice, coffee, sugar, rum, wine and bis cuits, besides stores of shoes, military caps and gaiters, while the stock of snuff alone was worth a million. The strong places which surrendered to our troops in the first fortnight of the month of August, were worth at Hag nenau, 9 officers, and 103 men, 80 horses and great quantities of arms; at Lichtenberg 3 officers, 280 soldiers. 7 cannons, 200 guns, 30,000 cartridges, etc ; at Lutzelstein, arms and munitions of war ; at Marsal, GO pieces of cannon. The three days of the battle of Metz did not produce such grand results in proportion to the sacrifices they entailed, as the combats of the proceeding fortnight had done, because the enemy was able to shelter his stores under cover of the strong fortress, nevertheless the day of Rezonville cost the French 36 officers and 2,000 soldiers, who were made prisoners ; that of Gravelotte, 54 officers and 3,000 soldiers. The total of their losses in these three battles may be estimated at 25,000 men. In our march forward we took the strong• place of Vitry, with 17 officers, 850 soldiers, and 16 cannons. The battles and skirmishes which took place near Nouart, Beamont, and Sedan resulted, before the capitulation of Sedan, in the capture of 30,000 prisoners, besides a number of eagles and cannons. _At Beaumont the enemy lost 7,000 pri soners, 2 eagles, 11 mitrailleuses, 23 cannons, and en campments. Before the capitulation the battle of Sedan brought us 25 cannons, 2 eagles, and 25,000 prisoners. The capitulation of Sedan was worth 1 marshal, 39 gene rals, 230 staff offiCers, 2,095 officers of all ranks, 84,450 soldiers, besides 14,000 wounded. We found eagles belonging to all the regiments, 70 mitrailleuses, 330 field-pieces, 150 siege guns, and 10,000 horses. The rest of the French army, about 14,500 men, with 12,000 horses, cannons, and artillery-waggons, took refuge on the Belgian territory, where it was disarmed. The capitula tion of Laon gave us many trophies and' provisions, of which the list has not yet been published; but it is certain that among the spoils are 23 oitannons and many guns. In summing up these successive results, we find the total loss of the enemy, and consequently the trophies of the Ger man army, after two months of campaign, to consist of 1 marshal, 39 generals, 3,250 officers, 104,750 soldiers (and the 14,000 wounded at Sedan), 10,280 horses, 56 eagles, 102 mitrailleuses, 690 artillery-pieces for campaign and siege, 400 waggons and carriages, many sets of pontoons, stores, and railway waggons, with an incalculable quan tity of provisions in sums, munitions, equipments, forage, and rations. MYSTERIOUS PROPHECIES. Some curious prophecies are being hroUght to light in France, having reference, it is supposed, to the present crisis. Maitre Pierre Turrel, an astrological philosopher, made several of these, in which he spoke of "the life of him who was to save France." More singular is the prophecy of Blois, as it is called, which was made in 1808 by an Ursuline nun, who foretold troubles in Blois in 1848 and in 1870. What gives especial interest to these prognostications is the statement that the prophecy concerning 1848 was partially realised. The Constitutionnet, which publishes the document, iemarkS that this accounts for its great local celebrity. It is to be hoped in the interests of France that the latter part may prove equally authentic, for after foretelling terrible troubles to France in 1870, the nun, like the astrologer, predicts " le sauveur accords a la France," adding that the country had not expected him. Some points in this prophecy are certainly curious when . we .remember how long it has been. in : ,.,,Ohtlence‘ The " •rands hours "' are to begin after the middle of July (the declaration of war having been Mare about that time) and before the vintage. The troubles are to affect the capital more particularly, where there will be a terrible fight andf" a great massacre. Both good and bad will fill in battle, for all the men will be called out, 'and only the old men left. The sister in this fortels M. Gambetta's last circular. The time, she adds, will be short, for the women will prepare the vintages, but Use men will return to finish them. Meanwhile no news will be obtainable except through private letters. Presently three couriers will come to Blois. The first will announce that all is lost, the second will be too hurried to stop, the 'third, who will come by fire and water (evidently ' the railway) will bring the good news. ATe Deum will be sung, such as was never sung before, but " it will not be for him who reigned at first," but for the saviour granted to France. The Prince will not be there; they will go and seek him, and after he ascends the throne France will be peaceful and prosperous for twenty years. THE DEFENCE OF PARIS IN 1814. The Patrie gives a retrospect of the defence of Paris in 1814, which, it thinks, is 'not without interest at the present crisis, though the military position is alto gether different from what it was fifty-six years ago. At the end of May, 1814, Napoleon, who had been fighting bravely for two months against the allied armies, left the capital unprotected by a daring movement towards Lorraine, in the rear of the enemy. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia decided upon marching straight on Paris. The grand Austro-Russian army, commanded by Prince Schwartzenberg, and the army of Silesia, under Blucher, were united, and began the advance on the 24th March. They only had in front of them two French corps, very much weakened, thoie of the Dukes of Treviso and Ragusa, which were forced to retreat rapidly before the superior force. On the 23rd the fight of Fere Champenoise occurred, when a convoy coming from Paris, under the escort of a division of National Guards from Brittany, were surrounded in the middle of an immense plain by the enemy's cavalry. The conscripts, who had never seen fire, defended themselves heroically, and repulsed the furious charge of the Russian cuirassiers. Before they could be overcome can non had to be fired and the Imperial Guard of Alexander brought out, which had never been employed since the opening of the campaign. The young soldiers, how• ever, would not yield, and perished to the last man. After some fighting at Meaux and at Claye, the French troops, closely pressed, by the enemy, arrived at the bar riers of Paris on the evening of the 29th, and took up their position on the heights of Belleville and Romainville, where they were protected by a numerous artillery. On the morning of the 30th they were attacked by Schwart zenberg. The allies only advanced slowly, and at, great loss. The village of Pantin and the fields of St. Gervais were taken, lost, and taken again, but the immence nume rical superiority of the allies enabled them to replace their attacking troops by fresh ones. They were, however, obliged to bring out all their reserves, and after ten hours of desperate resistance the remains of the French troops were thrown back on the barriers. During this severe struggle an Austrian corps made an attack on the side of Vincennes, which was held by the French artillery. The pupils of the Polytechnic School fought bravely, and served in the batteries. An attack of some importance took place at Montmartre. The army of Silesia hurried in that direction at forced marches, but so great was the activity of old Blucher, who was called " Marshal En Avant," that they could not take part in it until two o'clock. The Prussians rapidly ascended the heights, which were only defended by a handful of men, and established batteries there from which they threw projectiles on the city. The former King of Spain, Joseph Bonaparte, to whom his 'brother had entrusted the task of defending Paris, did not wait for the close of the day to make a hasty retreat. The population took little part in the fight, with the exception of some of the Gardes Nationales. They were tired of Imperial despotism, were without arms, and no attempt had been made to organise a popular resistance. Shut up in the enceinte of the capital, their troops weakened by considerable losses, lacking munitions, the Dukes of Treviso and Ragusa thought they were not bound to expose Paris to a regular attack. A capitulation was signed in the night ; the French troops retiring in the direction of the Loire. The next day, the 31st of March, the allies entered the capital, and a revolution followed which passes out of the domain of military history. The lopses of the allies on the 30th of March have been very variously estimated. The German historian, Plothe, who wrote a history in detail of the campaigns of 1813 and 1814, and who had access to official documents, repre sented them as 84940 ; of which 1,839 were Prussians, and the rest Russsians. The Prussian guard lost 69 officers and 1,286 soldiers, or nearly half its effective force, 'while the army of Silesia lost only 500 killed and wounded. The French lost 4,000 men, but their defeat was more glorious than many victories. THE GERMAN LINE OF MARCH. PALAISEAU, SEPT. 20. As the German armies approach near the capital there can be no question that the hostility of the populace, whatever it may count for, becomes more menacing. In the 'bore eastern departments not the slightest opposition was offered. Nancy, Commercy, Bar-le-Duc, and all the towns from that district to the frontier were passed with out the slightest difficulty. An attack by the people, if they had arms, was rare. A single Prussian might generally march through a village without fear of molestation. The inhabitants knew that if they attempted to fight they would receive no quarter, and they nearly always declined the risk. But the people in the neighbourhood of Paris are much less prudent. Several persons who have wandered from the main body of the troops have been " potted " from behind walls ; and one gentleman who thought he would like to take a walk in advance yesterday—the weather was splendid—was warned by an officer that he had better not go too far. The most energetic repressible measures have been taken for the protection of the army. The day before yesterday, at Coulommiers, fifteen prisoners belonging to the civil population were shot, because after the depar ture of the main body they fired upon the- German rear guard. In the direction of Fontainebleau was to be seen towards evening a burning village. It had been set on fire because in the same way, about fifteen individuals, three of whom were Franc-tireurs, two maires of neigh bouring localities, and one a wounded Zouave, had fired upon a squadron of dragoons. They kiled a lieutenant and wounded two soldiers. They were captured and have been sent to Corbeil, where they await military judgment. No letters nor papers- have been received at the headquarters of the Third Army, the field Post, in view of the increasingly hostile attitude of the population, travelling only during the day and with extreme" ore caution. In most of the villages lately traversed no men of age fit for work were to be seen. The population seemed to consist entirely of women, children, and old men. All young men are in the Mobile Guard. The utmostt care is taken to guard the route, exploring parties being sent out on both sides of the road, which is often skirted by hills and wooded country. These measures of prudence have been dictated by some severe lessons. The French do an im mense amount of destruction on the way. Near Colom miers the French had blown up a great aqueduct in course of construction, cut down the poplars which are planted along the sides of nearly every French road, and had dug a trench about twelve feet broad. These measures lead to no good result. The damage is repaired by the pioneers in a very brief space; in fact, more quickly by far than the French can accomplish the work of destruction. At one place all the road marks had been removed, as if the German officers, well acquainted as they are with the country, and furnished with excellent maps, stood in need of such guides. At Lonjumeau all thy shops were closod. None but Bavarian soldiers were to be seen in the streets. All along the route yesterday morning we beard heavy cannonading. We have since learned that a battle took place near Paris and proved favourable to the Germans. At Versailles an odd and significant incident took place. The city was occupied by two thousand National Guards, of whom only three hundred were armed with rifles ! So much for the defences of France. The National Guard offered to capitulate on condition of being allowed to retain their arms, such as they had, to defend them selves against:marauders. THE FRENCH ARMAMENTS. The official lists of the Empire returned 8,849 cannons and 3,567,639 guns, a statement entirely fabulous. The exact figures are not known, but the French field artillery was proved manifestly inferior in number to the Prussian, while not only Chassepots but the old Minni 4 rifles are lacking for the free shooters. The Gardes Nationales and Mobiles have as yet been only parly armed and with the old percuskm muskets. In their depair and indignation of this state cthings the befence Committees throughout France have resolved to ask nothing more from the State but to order the manufacture of guns and revolvers in the larger industrial establishments, and to open forced loans to defray the expenses. The provinces are going to form an association to combine their resources and to arrange for united action in the matter. The account of the Duchess of Hamilipon's visit to the *Emperor Napoleon has been autharitatigely contr,actitetcl. . 4 • . The police at Calais have received orders not to allow any Frenchman to leave the country, whether he is pro vided with a passport or not. The garrisons in Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland have been strengthened,owing to the sympathy manifested by the Poles for France. A correspondent of the Frankfort Journal, writing from Phalsburg on September 21, says that the commandant of the beleaguering army before that town has sent a depu tation to Nancy to request immediate relief or permission to withdraw. The commandant at Mareilles has issued a notice, calling upon artisans to join working companies to assist in completing the defences of the city. Langres is reported to have been placed in a complete state of defence, with provisions and ammunition for three months. According to the Constitationnel, an attempt was made in one quarter of Paris to establish a revolutionary com mune. Thanks to M. de Keratry and M. Rochefort, who has acted most patriotically, the endeavour was frus trated. From a very unintelligible telegram received by the Earl of Denbigh, it appears that none of the English Zouaves in the service of the Pope were killed in the trifling engagement at Rome, and only one or two wounded. A telegram from Namur says that the inhabitants of Al6zi4es and Charleville are flying to Belgium in conse quence of the announcement that if the towns do not surrender within twenty-four hours they will be bom barded. The material of war captured at Sedan comprised 100,000 Chassepots and 8,960,000 pounds of powder. The large cannon taken at Sedan have been sent for the use of the besieging army at Paris. The Prussians have made preparations for a long siege, and 5,000 furs have been ordered for the army. The upshot of the controversy among the German papers as to the displacement of General Steinmetz seems to be that the veteran could never forego a momentary success for the sake of ulterior advantages. It was there fore found inconvenient to continue him in high command at the theatre of war.—Pall Mall Gazette. The London correspondent of the Birmingham Post' telegraphs :—" After his interview with Count Bismarck, M. Jules Favre lost no time in communicating with Lord Lyons at Tours, in hopes that the British Government would intervene to save France from dismemberment. The Prime Minister has summmoned a Cabinet Council on Friday to consider this communication." In an official report the Staatsanzeiger says that all the country mind Paris is deserted, and only some small shopkeepers remain in the little towns. The greatest panic prevails, and there is no appearance of the National Guard to keep order. In some places the mayors provided the inhabitants with arms, but at the approach of the German troops all took to flight or threw away their arms. The Order of St. George, which has just been sent by the Czar to the Crown Princes of Prussia and Saxony and Prince Louis of Hesse, is the highest honour that is conferred in Russia. There are only two knights. of the order—the King of Prussia and the Archduke Albert of Austria. The Czar himself has only a Cross of the Fourth Class, while the crosses given to the Crown Princes of Prussia and Saxony are of the second class. The captured French officers who wish to hire private lodgings will be allowed, according to the Madgeburg Gazette, to reside in an open garrison town. On giving their word of honour to proceed by the shortest route to the appointed place, and there to report themselves, they will be permitted to travel without an escort. If they give reas on for dissatisfaction, they may be remitted to prison. The guard have discovered four women among the armed Turcos ; they were of course taken away from their comrades. The alleged attempted suicide of the Emperor Napoleon appears to have been one of those attacks of syncope to which he has been so much subject of late. It is just possible, however, that indigestion may have been the cause of the alarming symptoms, and the Independance Beige jocosely observes that as the attack occurred so soon after the arrival of the King of Prussia's cooks, there is a good deal of probability in this hypothesis. The Berlin correspondent of the Times writes :—M. Thiers is trying his hand in la haute politique. If my information is as correct as I have reason to believe, the great historian will endeavour to secure Russia's gratitude by offering her the plum she has so long coveted. In a (territorial if Russia will save France from the humiliation of loss, France is ready to make her certain con 4ssions in the East. More than this, France in such a case will try to obtain the approval and co-operation of that Austria which has so long resisted the growth of Russian influence on the Danube, but which, it is hoped, will be induced to share and share alike if the oppor tunity offers. With respect to the burning of Bazeilles, the Bavarian Minister of War makes the statement that—" All the accounts from eye-witnesses of the fight concur in proving that if lamentable acts were committed—acts contrary to the laws of honour—they were not committed by our troops. These accounts concur in showing that the fate of Bazeilles was the terrible but just punishment of the atrocious conduct of those pretended National Guards who, assisted by their 'wives and children, selected our surgeons and other persons engaged in affording, relief to the wounded, as objects to fire upon, and whose in famous behaviour was carried to the extent of consigning those unhappy wounded to the flames of houses partly set on fire by artillery." At Kcenigsmacher, on the Lorraine frontier, a provision column destined for the army before Metz, and consisting of 192 waggons, was attacked on the 20th by French soldiers. The seven men of the Landwehr infantry who escorted it endeavoured to beat a retreat, but the villagers joined in the raid and barricaded the road with ploughs and harrows. The waggons, laden with 'bacon, bread, oats, and other victuals, were seized, two of the escort being also captured. Of the 300 waggoners only 49 made their escape to Treves . with 13 horses, the rest being forced to take the waggons to Thionville, whence 52 returned on the 23d, having had money and food giver" them. Two Land wehr companies have been sent to Kcenigsmacher. It is not explained how the column came to be sent with so weak an escort through a district where there are few Prussian troops. • Respecting the siege of Strasburg (now finished), the correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes :—" The effect of the bombardment at some distance is more like the play of what is called summer lightning than any thing else. Sometimes a particularly bright flash will light up the horizon and shew the long lines of poplars stretching away right and left, and the old cathedral spire rising above them, and then all is black again ; and then the dull boom of the shot comes rolling back through the night. Sometimet, too, the shells of the garrison burst high over the batteries with a bright blue flash like diabolical fireworks ; but, as far as I could see, the Strasbourg fire seemed slow and intermittent. Inside Strasburg it is a different story. A Strasburg refugee I met in the train told me that when he was there shells fell sometimes at the rate of twenty-four or twenty-five a minute. From his account the delapidation is enor mous, whole quarters of the town were already in ruins when he left. Travellers will be sorry to hear that amang the houses that have been destroyed is the good old-fashioned hotel, the Rothes Haus." Four British newspaper correspondents join in repu diating the charges of misconduct brought against the German troops. They have been present at nearly all the engagements of the war, and so far as their expe rience extends they are enabled to give an unqualified contradiction to stories of outrages on women, and spolia tion of property. "We have found want, suffering, and misery enough - wherever we have turned, but we have never yet met, or even heard of, a single instance of per sonal violence offered. to the peasantry, a single instance of outrage towards women, or a single instance in which a farmhouse has been robbed of more than its stray fowls and fruit. Amid all the horrors which have been going on around us we talk among ourselves of the kindness, forbearance, and singular honesty with which, consider ing all the circumstances, the Prussians have behaved towards the people and property of the town and dist r i c t s through which they have passed." SPAIN AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.-The Madrid correspondent of the Independance Belge says that Senor Olozaga, on his return to Madrid, had several inter views with the heads of the Ministry, in which he ex plained his reasons for not literally obeying the instruc tions of his Cabinet, and for recognising the Provisional Government. Nothing was definitely known on the subject but the friends of the ambassador assert that he is about to visit his country estate at Vigo. It is certain that Bismarck exercises great influence on Spanish politics at this moment, and that Olozaga was recalled at his formal request. The letter of recog nition dated the Bth inst., and Jules Favre's reply were both transmitted by telegraph to Madrid, where the Ministerial organs treated them as a natural thing. Two days after, the Min?ster of the Germanic Confederation protested against the attitude of Senor Olozaga, and on the 13th. he received orders to return immediately to Madrid.

The Rome correspondent of the Daily Telegraph gives the following account of the capitulation of Rome : " When, in the early morn, the roar of the Italian artil lery broke in upon the stillness of the scarcely-vanished night, the. Pope rose from his bed and at once sent for Cardinal Antonelli and the General of the Jesuits. BY six o'clock the - diplomatic body had arrived in the Vatican. During the five hours of the conflict, his Holiness did not betray unusual emotion. In appear ance he was calm, and even gay. He walked up and down the hall, occasionally stopping at one of the windows to- look abroad on the scene without. Even were his eyes undimmed by age, little could he see dis tinctly. For, you remember, the day was still in its earliest youth. The fog of the September morning had scarcely cleared away, and with it mingled the smoke of roaring cannon and burning houses. Whenever the staff officers came in with news of the fight, he asked what was the cause of the flame here, the smoke there. Occa sionally he knelt and prayed. Once he suddenly started from his knees, and asked anxiously whether there was any danger of shells falling on the Vati can. You must not forget that from the Leonine . City, where the Vatican stands, the Zouaves were directing a terrible fire against Bixio 's batteries, and to such effect that one of these had been disabled, while ten of the gunners and one officer were either killed or severely wounded. Bixio, however, had received the most urgent orders not to fire on the Leonine City. Though his gunners had not fired on this locality, some of the shells had fallen close to it, and it was the conflragations caused by these that gave rise to the Pope's anxiety. At a few minutes before ten o'clock Count di Carpegna, the messenger of General Kanzler, was ushered into the presence of the Pope. He told his Holiness that his sad mission was to inform him that, in General Kanzlers opinion, resistance was no longer possible. The Italians —said the Count—had occupied almost all the gates of Rome which lay on their line of attack. The Villa Buonaparte was in flames; Ferrero and Maz6 de in Roche were advancing on the Piazza Colonna. Resistance would be madness. In a few minutes the Romans would be surrounded by 50,000 troops. The Pope looked at Cardinal Antonelli, and after a few minutes' silence,, said, Your Eminence was right; it cannot b e h e lped I have been abandoned by Catholic Europe, and I must yield. Never mind. My glorious predecessor, Pius VL, and myself were once forced by the revolution to leave this palace, but we both returned. Revolu tionary Italy and her revolutionary King sur round me and the (Ecumenical Council with their bayonets. I must yield.' Turning then to Count di Carpegna, he said, Go, and tell General Kanzler to capitulate ; make haste.' Scarcely had he uttered these last words, when Count Arnim stepped forward, and offered. to accompany General Kanzler to the Italian head-quarters at the Villa Torlonia. Thanks, Count ; accept the offer in these days the representative of Prussia may obtain better terms. Your help will secure this result, at least,' added his Holiness with a somewhat sarcastic smile. No doubt he intended to allud e to the letter of King William of Prussia, in which his Majesty declined to arrest the march of the Italian troops. When Count Arnim entered the large and magnificent hall of the Villa Torlonia, was coming from the breach which had • been just made by the 34th Battalion of Bersaglieri. Tb' Count was followed by Count di Carpegna, an old man of about sixty-five, the Marquis de Mestre, and by anothe r officer of Gen era l K anz l er ' s staff. Count Arnim having in troduced the negotiators, and exchanged a few words wit h General Cadorn a , withdrew. Cadorna at once granted an armistice, and said he was prepared to discuss the terms of an honourable capitulation. The main points of this capitulation were, that the foreign troops should be sent to their homes by sea, embarking at Civita Vecchia ' • that all the native troops, including the gen d armes , should likewise receive their eonge ; that the Squadriglieri should be also sent to their native land—those, however, ex cepted who had deserted from the Italian army, ° r who had been implicated in charges of brigandage or °ther e crimes. These were to be delivered into the hands of justice." RUSSIA AND THE WAR. The correspondent of the Eastern Budget at St. Peters' burg says, writing on the 20th inst. :—" M. Thiers is e% . petted to arrive here in a few days. From what I hear in Government circles, there is no prospect of his mission being successful, for Russia will neither mediate between the belligerents nor recognise the French Republic. Her policy is one of strict neutrality, and she will only recog" nise such a Government in France as can give guarantees for securing peace to the country, both abroad and at home• Speaking of the Russian press, another correspondent in the same city adds :—The feeling towards France is sti ll very favourable here. In the press her warmest advo cate is the Moscow Gazette, which, in a recent number or deavoured to prove that it was not France who originat ed the Crimean war, but England, who has always been the cause of Russia's misfortunes, and whose interests are in collision with those of Russia at all points. The other papers are also mostly on the French side. ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IN A BOAT. • • The New York Herald publish es some par ti c ulars respecting the perilous voyage across the Atlantic of that little two-ton boat, the City of Ragusa, which sailed from Liverpool on the 2nd of June last, an d arrived at Boston on the Bth of September, after a passage of ninety-ne e days from Liverpool, and eighty f rom Q ueens t ow n. Joh n Charles Charles Buckley, who conceived and directed the voyag e ' is a middle-aged and intelligent Irishman, belonging '7, Dublin, and the companion who accompanied him is middle-aged Austrian, by the name of Nicholas Priraoras —both old followers of the sea. The boat in which the,' sailed across the ocean is a very small one ; 11 , 3 , er length over all is only twenty feet, her bread less than six, she draws only about two feet °' water, she is a fraction less than two tons burtheni and spreads between seventy and eighty yards canvas. They cleared for New York, but Captain Buckley changed his mind afterwards, and made for Boston; taking the northern course, or substantially th e same one taken by the Cambria in her rit with the Dauntless. There were strong westerki winds almost from the beginning of the journ,,,,ee to the end, and two or three heavy gales. first thirty-five days of the voyage, the weather was ril' formly rough, and not for a moment during this whole tie did either Captain Buckley or his fellow tar enjoy t ot luxury of a stitch of dry clothing. The water lw th e only poured in upon them over the deck, but barque commenced leaking badly, and one man had to P constantly working the little hand pumps, which they We is 4 fortunately provided with. For three weeks or more 011.1 had to subsist on raw meat.and hard bread. Their day's run, however, was, under these trying circumstanee s • when they made 153 miles. Their slowest day's r 0,,.; eleven miles ; but the average speed o f th e en ti re v oYsbi was about four knots per hour. On th e 4th e f July they encountered a heavy storm • but in spite it they commemorated the day, and drank the health o' General Grant and all his relatives. They spoke varil vessels, going and coming, but only o n t wo occas i o ns t' s , they require any stores or assistance.
