BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 3. The Queen has received the following telegram from the King : • BEFORE SEDAN, SEPT. 2 (1.22 P.M.) A capitulation, whereby the whole army at Sedan are prisoners of war, has just been concluded with General Wimpffen, who was in command instead of the wounded Marshal MacMahon. The Emperor only surrendered himself to me, as he himself has no command, and left everything to the Regency in Paris. His place of resi dence I shall appoint after I have had an interview with him at a rendezvous which will immediately take place. What a course events have assumed by God's guidance !" THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE KING AND THE EMPEROR. BERLIN, SXPTEMBER 4, 6 P.M. Queen Augusta has received the following telegram from the King : " Her Majesty' Queen Augusta, Berlin. " Varennes, September 4, 8 a.m. " What a thrilling moment, that of my meeting with Napoleon ! He was cast down, but dignified in his bearing, and resigned. I gave him Wilhelms? hohe, near Cassel, as the place where he will stay. Our meeting took place in a small castle in front of the western glade of Sedan. Froth there I rode through the ranks of our army round Sedan. - The reception by the troops thou mayest imagine ; it was indescribable ! I finished my five hours' ride at nightfall, at half-past seven, but only arrived back here at,l a.m. May God aid us further. " WILLIAM." STATEMENT OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 3,5.25 P.M. Mhe following statement was made to-day in the Senate on behalf of the Ministry : "We have learned from several non-official sources that Marshal Bazaine failed in his recent attempt to disengage himself from the hostile armies which kept him hemmed in round Metz. His effort was an heroic one, and the King of Prussia could not refrain from rendering justice to the valour of our soldiers. " Marshal MacMahon, after having attempted to hold out a hand to Marshal Bazaine, in a northerly direction, was compelled to retire to the neighbourhood of Sedan, where he fought for several days with alternate suc cesses and reverses ; but we were fighting against an enemy too superior in numbers, and, notwithstanding the most energetic efforts, this attempt appears to have terminated in a manner unfavourable to our arms. " Other information has been received from Prus sian sources, which is still more unfavourable, but it does not seem to us worthy of belief. In any case the Government could not undertake to authenticate it to a certain extent by communicating it to to the public. Our reverses afflict us. We cannot witness without emotion so much courage, such self-sacrifices, and all rendered useless. But this spectacle, so far from depriving us of our energy, y augments and redoubles it, Since the present Cabinet assumed power it has produced for France all that her resources could give. Those resources are still sufficiently powerful with energy and the concurrence of the nation to enable us finally to triumph. We hope with God's help to drive the enemy out of France." Baron Jerome David added : " The defences of Paris are in the best possible state, and according to the opinion of competent persons will enable us to resist all efforts of the enemy. We shall defend the capital on the fortifications, and in the streets ; aye, and if necessary, we will bury the city in ruins. THE LEGISLATIVE BODY. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 3, 7 P.M. In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body General Palikao said : Grave events have occurred. The source from which we are informed is not official, but the intelligence must be true. Marshal Bazaine, after a very vigorous sortie, had an engagement with the enemy, lasting from eight to nine hours. The French soldiers fought with extreme valour, but on its termination Marshal Bazaine was forced to retire upon Metz, thus preventing the desired junction. This circumstance, however, did not prevent the Marshal from making a fresh sortie. Another event which I have to communicate, is a battle between Mezieres and Sedan, which resulted in alternate suc cess and reverse. We at first drove the Prussians into the Meuse, but were subsequently compelled to retreat before superior forces. The result is cer tainly that for same time to come the j unction between Marshals Bazaine and MacMahon will not be effected. Other information circulated, especially relating to Marshal MacMahon being wounded, is not of an authentic character. The position is serious. We must no longer dissimulate. We are determined to make an appeal to the vigorous forces of the nation. We are first organizing 200,000 men of the National Guard Mobile, who will be called to Paris, and will form an army which will insure the safety of the capital. We shall act with th e greatest energy and shall only arrest our efforts When we have expelled every Prussian from French territory. M. Jules Favre asked leave tospeak, but M. Haent jens demanded a secret sitting. This was opposed by General Palikao. M. Jules Favre delivered a speech, in which he declared that all parties were unanimous in their determination to defend France to the last gasp. (Cheers.) He added that the time for a policy of Complaisance must cease if it were desired to repair the disasters which have fallen upon the country. He concluded his speech by attacking the Imperial r(ig'iree, and proposed to concentrate all power in the hands of General Trochu. General Palikao and several deputies protested against the language of M. Jules Favre, and the matter dropped. M. Argane brought in a bill calling under arms all citizens, married and single, between 20 and 35 years of age, and authorising the Govern ment to call out all former officers up to the age of 60. Urgency was declared. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4, 3.30 A.M. At 1 a.m. M. General Palikao came down to the House and announced that a part of Marshal MacMahon's army had been driven back into Sedan, that the remainder had capitulated, and that the Emperor had been made prisoner. He added—" In presence of this news, it would be impossible for the House to discuss the possible consequences of the event. The Ministers have not as yet been able to concert together, and I ask that the debate should be postponed till to-morrow. M. Jules Favre brought forward a motion declar ing the Emperor and his dynasty to have forfeited all rights conferred by the Constitution, demanding the appointment of a Parliamentary Committee entrusted with the governing power, and with the mission to expel the enemy from French terri tory, and maintaining. General Trochu in his post as Governor of Paris. M. Jules Favre's proposal was received with pro found silence. The Chamber then resolved to hold a sitting to-day (Sunday) at noon. THE FEELING IN PARIS. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 3, EVENING. The general feeling of the Press, notwithstanding the heavy losses of France, is that their now suffer ing country must make any sacrifice rather than yield, and that Paris must be defended to the utmost. It is stated that Government messengers sent to the Ardennes on the Ist instant returned without being able to communicate with MacMahon, who is believed to be completely surrounded. About 60,000 met, regular troops, are now in Paris. The Liberte says that Prince Napoleon asked per mission to leave Florence and to return to France, but that the Emperor has not acceded to his request. This evening's papers have no information respect ing the whereabouts of the Emperor and the Prince Imperial. AGITATION IN PARIS. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4, MORNING. Much agitation prevailed yesterday evening in consequence of the news announced by the Govern ment in the afternoon, but no disturbances have occurred. At 8 p.m. an assemblage of about 6,000 persons sent a deputation to General Trochu to demand that he should assume the Government of the country. General Trochu said he was not in a position to reply to suoh a proposition, but would fulfil his duty in defending Paris until death. The crowd received this reply with shouts of " Abdication ! Abdica tion !" Another assemblage of about 10,000 persons also sent a deputation to General Trochu with the same object as the first, and received the same reply with the cries of "Abdication 1" " France for ever!" "Troohu for ever I" The boulevards were densely crowded, but the people were silent. The approaches to the Chamber were guarded by a strong force of cavalry and in fantry. THE APPEAL TO FRANCE. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4. The journal official publishes the following pro clamation, issued by the Council of Ministers : "Frenchmen I—A great misfortune has befallen the country. "After three days of serious struggles, kept up by the army of Marshal MacMahon against 300,000 enemies, 40,000 men have been made prisoners. "General Wimpffen, who had taken the command of the army, replacing Marshal MacMahon, who was seriously wounded, has signed a capitulation. " This cruel reverse does not daunt our courage. " Paris is now in a state of defence. " The military forces of the country are being organized. Within a few days a new army will be under the walls of Paris, and another is in formation on the banks of the Loire. " Your patriotism, your concord, your energy will save France. " The Government co-operates with the public authorities, and is taking all measures required by the graSity of these events." (SIGNATURES OF ALL THE MINISTERS) REVOLUTION IN PARIS. SEPTEMBER 4, 3.30 P.M. To-day, in the Legislative Body, General Palikao brought in a bill for instituting a Council of Govern ment and National Defence, to consist of five mem bers elected by the Legislative Body. The bill further proposes that the Ministers should be appointed with the approval of the members of this Council, General Palikao occupying the post of Lieutenant-General of the Council. M. Jules Favre claimed priority for the motion of the Left which was introduced yesterday. M. Thiera, however, brought forward a motion, signed by 45 members of the Left and Right Centres, and which he said was dictated by the necessity for union. The following are the terms of this tesolu don :—"ln vie* of existing circumstances the Chamber appoints a commission of Government and National Defence. A Constituent Assembly will be convoked as soon as circumstances permit." General Palikao endorsed the proposal that the country should be consulted, "as soon, he said, "as we have issued from our present embarrassments." The Chamber uitimateiy declared urgency for all the three proposition/ en bloc, and they , were col lectively referred to the burtaus, with a•view to the appointment of a commission. The sitting was then suspended. PARIS, SEPTBMBER 4, 5.15 P.M. On the resumption of the sitting of the Legisla- [ye Body, the galleries, and subsequently the floor of the House, were invaded by the people, demand ing the deposition of the Emperor, and. the proclaim ing of a republic. Most of the deputies left the Chamber. M. Gam betta and others then asked the people to respect the liberty of the legislative deliberations. They were listened to in silence, but their efforts were useless. Indescribable excitement reigned outside. Enthu- thiastic cheers were raised of "Long Live the Re public," and the people, National Guard, and soldiers fraternised. M. Gambetta and other Deputies of the Left proclaimed the deposition of the dynasty. It is said that a deputation of the Left are going with the people to the. Hotel de Ville to proclaim a Provisional Government, composed as follows : General Trochu, MM. Gambetta, Jules §imon, Ernest Pellatan, Jules Favre, and Jules Ferry, Count de Keratry, MM, Creinieux, Jules Picard, and Grevy. [The correspondent of the Daily News, in a tele gram despatched from Paris immediately after the events recorded in the foregoing, says Paris is in a state of indescribable and intense enthusiasm. The whole city is, as it were, en fete. On every side, in almost every street I have passed through, I have heard cries of " Vive la S UN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 18 70. • Republique." -At twenty minutes past three this afternoon I saw the Imperial flag at the Tuileries pulled down. The people forced: the gates of the garden. A hundred persons entered the Palace without doing the slightest mischief. The Garde Mobile now occupies the Tuileries. On the Quai d'Orsay I myself heard the soldiers shout ".Vivo la Republique." On all sides the Im perial eagles are being torn off from the flags and thrown out of the windows. Upon the quay I sawbusts of the Emperor pitched out of the houses and thrown into the Seine amid tremendous shouts of applause. I saw Rochefort borne in triumph to the Hotel de Ville. He was enthusiastically saluted by the people when he came out on the balcony of the Hotel de Ville. Portraits of their Imperial Majesties were thrown from the windows and trampled upon by the people. Soldiers in every direction turn their muskets upside down, and fraternise with the people, shouting as they do so, " Down with the traitors." The workmen shout "Vive la France," " Vive le Commerce," "Long live all Nations." Everybody is laughing and weeping with joy. Everbody is shak ing hands and embracing his neighbour. Count 1 Keratry has been appointed Prefect of Police. A rago ' has been appointed Mayor of Paris.] THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 4. The Emperor Napoleon, with a suite of about 100 persons, and with the Imperial horses and carriages, arrived yesterday, at noon, at Bouillon, escorted by a Prussian general, en route for Germany, by way of Liege. The King of Prussia and the Emperor Napo leon had jointly asked the Belgian Government to authorise the latter's passage through Belgian terri tory. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 4, 5.3 1 7 P.M. The Independance Belga of this evening contains the following :—According to information which we believe worthy of belief, the Emperor was yesterday at Bouillon, and was to have taken the train at Libra mont at noon to-day, en route for Liege or Verviers. We do not know whether he will stop on the way, or will proceed on his journey to Germany. It is ru moured that the ' Belgian Government has sounded the Protecting Powers in order to know if the Emperor could be allowed to pass through Belgium, accompanied by an armed escort, composed of French and German troops. The same journal states that the number of Frenchmen interned in Belgium amounts to 14,000. General Septeuil is among the prisoners. VERVIERS, SEPTEMBER 4, EVENING. The Emperor Napoleon arrived here at 5 o'clock this afternoon, accompanied by Count Chorsel. Colonel Prince de la Moskowa, General Boyed, aide de-camp of the King of Prussia, and several Prussian officers form the escort. The Emperor alighted at the Railway Hotel, and will leave to-night for Cassel. THE PRINCE IMPERIAL. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 4. rumour has been current since Friday, and gains more and more credence, asserting that the Prince Imperial is the guest of Prince Chimay, at Chateau Chimay, in the Belgian province of Hennegau. SEPTEMBER 4, NOON. The news of the Prince Imperial being a guest of Prince Chimay is premature. THE PRUSSIANS MARCHING UPON PARIS. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 4, 7.30 P.X. The Echo du Parlement of this evening publishes a private telegram announcing that the Prussians are at twenty-four kilometres from St. Quentin, march ing direct on Paris. The communications between Paris and Brussels by way of Mous and Haumeut will probably be shortly cut off. The same paper states that the Emperor Napo leon, accompanied by a numerous suite, passed through Liege at 4 p.m. to-day. --- REPORTED SURRENDER OF METZ. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 4, 8.15 P.M. The Etoile Belge publishes news from Montmedy, dated yesterday, announcing that a second envoy with a flag of truce has appeared before that town and demanded its surrender, at the same time informing the garrison that Metz had capitulated. The Commandant of Montmedy, however, refused to give up the town. Th e Prussians have cut the communications be tween Mezieres and Charleville. The Echo du Parlement says that the Prince Imperial is at Maubenge. General Felix Douay, with his aides-de-camp and staff officers, arrived at Brussels at 3.20 p.m. to-day. It is understood that a portion of the wounded, who are still lying in great numbers on the last battle-field, will be transported into Belgium. THE SIEGE OF STRASBURG. *CARLSRUHE, SEPTEMBER 8. The official Carlsruhe Gazette announces that th e cellars of Strasbnrg were inundated yesterday through a swell of the Rhine, much damage being caused thereby to the besieged. The ridge lead of the cathedral has been partially burnt down, and the nautical and astronomical clock is injured. [The Times Berlin correspondent says Stralsund is being provisioned, and is expected to be attacked. General Felix Douay's corps apparently is neither iu Paris nor with MacMahon's army, and therefore is supposed to contemplate the relief of Strasburg. From Southern Alsace we learn that the Stras burg Museum, the ancient Library, and the Pic ture Gallery have been destroyed by the German bombs. The German town of Kehl is demolished by the Strasburg cannon. Once every two days the gate of Strasburg is opened for half an hour, to permit the inhabitants to escape, There is a large number of dead in Strasburg, who cannot be properly buried. The semi-official Berlin Nord Deutsche Zeitung says that Germany will annex Alsace and Lorraine, with Metz and the line of the Moselle.] THE FRENCH TROOPS IN BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPTEmBER 3, 6.15 RM. Twelve thousand Frenchmen, with cannons, eagles, and 1,200 horses, have crossed the Belgian frontier and laid down their arms. THE ORLEANS PRINCES. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 4, AFTZANOON. The corps of General Vinoy, sent to reinforce Marshal MacMahon, was not engaged in the last battle, and is falling back on Paris. The Orleans Princes are also vaguely reported to have left for Paris. The Etoile Beige announces , that Madame Walewski, and other ladies of the Imperial Court, have arrived at Brussels. official despatch had been received yesterday at the Ministry of War respecting the battle of Thursday last. The unofficial information is so contradictory that it is not possible to take any notice of. it." PARIS, SEPT. 2 (7 P.M.). It is stated that in the battle of the 31st ult. the Douay Army Corps formed the advanced guard of Marshal MacMahon's centre from Vinoy towards Mezieres, and that the position was such as to enable the latter to inflict enormous loss on the enemy. MacMahon remained strongly posted under the guns of Sedan, and in communication with Mezieies, moreover constantly receiving reinforcements and being fully supplied with provisions and ammuni tion. The Bishop of Strasbourg died yesterday. PARIS, SEPT. 2 (Evening.) Several accounts concur in representing Gt..neral de Failly's Fifth Army Corps to have been sufferers on the 30th inst., but that the prompt measures of Maisbal MacMahon prevented the Prussians from obtaining a substantial advantage. The letters from correspondents in several papers from various points , near the scene of operation, state that the Prussians were repulsed with hea'vy loss on the 31st. A. letter to the editor of the Peuple Francais dated from Villers and Cernay the 31st of last month, says that the writer witnessed a battle on that day from the heights at Villers and Cernay. MacMahOn occupied a strong position on the right bank of the Meuse, between Sedan and Carignan, defending the railway line from Montmedy to Thionville, and resting his right wing on Sedan and his left on the heights of Bajeilles, The Prussians also were on the right bank of the Meuse with an army corps, likewise in an angle formed between Douzy Mouse and the river. The writer proceeds to say that the French artillery crushed andlrepulsed this corps with great loss at one p.m. ; adding that the Prussians were in full retreat towards Villemontry. No particulars are yet known here respecting the fighting of the Ist inst., but a letter from the Bel gian frontier, dated ThursAay night, asserts tbat the battle continues, the French having taken 30 can nons, and - that Marshal Bazaine was marching to wards M'Mi-4hon. The Prince Imperial left blezieres for Maubeuge. Twelve gunboats went up the Seine to Charenton to-day. INTERVENTION OBJECTED TO. STUTTGARDT, SEPTEMBER 4. A numerously attended public meeting was held here this- evening, and the following resolution was adopted —" The German people reject any at tempt at mediation or intervention on the part of the neutral powers in negotiations for the conclusion of peace. The restoration of Alsace and Lorraine is, for the German empire, the only possible guarantee against French ambition, and the national reward of our national struggle and victory. With the adhesion of the South German States, and there-conquest of the long lost German provinces, the North German Confederation must be converted into a German Federal State. One single people, one army, one Parliament, one German national system are for Germany and for Europe pledges of a sure and lasting peace." [The Vienna correspondent of the Standard dating from that city on Saturday, says :—Great activity is observed in Diplomatic circles. The English, Russian, and Italian Ambassadors are incessantly conferring with Count Beust. Positive propositions from the neutrals to the belligerent Powers are apparently imminent.] THE PARIS BOURSE. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 3 (3.30 P.m.) The Bourse has been heavy ; Rentes closed at 58f. 80c., or lf. 15c. lower than yesterday. REJOIOINGS A r SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPTEMBER 3.

THE BATTLE OF SEDAN. RRUSSELS, SEPT. 3. The following telegram has been received here : BOUILLON, SEPT. 2, Evening. According to a despatch received here, the German army at the last battle before Sedan was composed of seven army corps under the command of the Crown Princes of Prussia and Saxony. Rumours were current in the German army that the Emperor had proposed terms of peace. PARIS, SEPT. 3. Ihe Official Journal of this morning says :—" No SPAIN. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 3, EVENING.

THE TIENTSIN MASSACRE. (By British Indian Cable.) HONGKONG, AUGUST 18. The negotiations with the Chinese authorities in connec tion with the Tientsin tragedy remain in the same posi tion, failing instructions from Europe. A feeling of insecurity prevails at all the treaty ports, which is increased by this inaction. The presence of the British and French Ministers, and the two admirals at Tientsin has quickened Tseng-kwo fan, the Governor of the province, in his enquiry regard ing the complicity of the Tientsin mandarins in the massacre. BREAKFAST.-EPPS'S COCO A. -GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette re marks :—" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills."

The following communication from the correspondent of the Standad. dated Sept. 2nd, proves how strong was the belief at Paris in the ultimate success of the French arms :—" I send you only a few lines to-night as it is utterly impossibh4 to make head or tail out of the conflict ing reports that are in circulation. A mere glance at a map is quite sufficient to enable anyone who has traced the movements of the belligerents during the campaign, to arrive at the conclusion that MacMahon is in a fair way of being driven back on Lille, Valenciennes, Avernes, and Manhenge, if he be not blockaded in Sedan or driven up in the cul de sac between Fromy and Givet. But people here won't hear of his being beaten. The folly of his march on the Meuse is set down as deep strategy; sober, serious people, who in ordinary times are not liable to a suspicion of their intellect being disordered, gravely tell us that MacMahon's being driven back to Sedan is part and parcel of a deep plan ; that he has got them into a trap, &c., &c. The dispatches published in the London papers have all been published, but have not succeeded in bringing home to the public a sense of the reality. At the very utmost they admit that the corps of General de Failly may have been defeated on the .30th, but they firmly believe that MacMahon turned the tables upon them on the 31st. It is understood that the fighting was resumed yesterday, when the corps of General Vinoy probably came into action to cover MacMahon's re treat. But we have no reliable information whatever to go upon, and in the present temper of the people I can understand the Government should feel some ner vousness about disclosing the real state of affairs. The Government made no communication to the Chamber to-day, but Count Palikao made a state ment in one of the committees which is significant enough. He said :—" Up to this time all the advantage is on our side; but it is impossible to say that in this series of engagements more or less serious we have won a victory. We can only claim a victory when the enemy shall have been driven over the border. All the engagements which have taken place have, on the whole, turned out in our favour. But it cannot be said that there has been a great battle. The hilly ground on which the two.armies are moving renders a general action impracticable. I repeat that the French army is in a good position, but I do not think that this would justify an official communication to the Chamber." There is not, I submit, much comfort to be got out of this ; and it must be borne in mind that all the news of M`Mahon's movements have been received via Belgium. Among other canards circulated by the French press a peculiarly silly one deserves notice, viz., that the King of Prussia has gone mad at Varennes. This absurd story is gloated over, and it is not Prudent to contradict it publicly. The Prince Imperial, litho seems sadly out of place in the midst of the scenes of blood and carnage which are going on in 'the forests of the Ardennes, has been removed to Avernes. Here in Paris the preparations fora possible siege are being actively con tinued. In the fields of Courcelles, inside the fortifica tions, they are running up wooden 'shanties for ambu lances—the houses within a hundred yards of the glacis are being pulled down. We are told (but I confess I don't believe it) that 100,000 Mobiles are; to be brought into town to " assist in the defence," and an army of reserve is being actively organised. A fractional fall in Rente— nothing doing. , In a letter, dated Saturday midnight, the Paris corres pondent of the Telegraph thus states the condition of the city. The Boulevards are crammed with an angry populace to-night ; something of the truth which you know has leaked out. Cries which the Govern ment must still describe as treasonable fill the air. , The people only ask an object on which to turn their wrath. That object is not forthcoming. The Empress is away, so is the Emperor, and so the Prince Imperial. No man so mad as to accuse the actual Ministry. Whoever be in fault, Count Palikao has done his best. He has indeed made regiments " spring out of the earth," to use his own words. What can the people do ? As I' write, after midnight, I hear a roar of furious voices, and the tramp of ten thousand feet. They raise discordant , shouts. Some propose to march on the Tuilleries ; others ask for the Minister of War, whom they have already seen to little purpose ; they know not how to express their passionate indignation. Were the Em press here I can tell you what would happen, but she is safe at St. Cloud. And I suppose they will wear away the night in impotent fury, as they have hitherto done. It is terrible to see a people so maddened, and with just cause, but so helpless." Speaking of the preparations made to resist or to aid in resisting the victorious Prussians, the correspondent con tinues :—" Amongst the temporary retrogressions which , this war has brought about I may mention the re-establish ment of the ancient telegraph. This age did not expect to see the funny old machines which used to crown every height again erected. But war will have it so. At this mo ment they are setting up the big white pests again, with its monstrous arms of particolour, all round Paris and on the southern routes. We may shortly expect bon fires and smoke signals—the' fiery cross itself, perhaps. The forts round Paris have been hastily united by sub terranean wires, but the Generals'will have to depend for their exterior information upon the antiquated machines. Though why it should be supposed that the Prussians will spare these new-old signal-posts when they ruth lessly cut down the modern wires I don't profess to know. One would think, also, that false news might be sent by them with even less danger of detection than by the regular telegraph. But science is invited to do her best to restore the balance of things. The Minister of Public Instruction has summoned a curious committee to aid the military authorities in defending Paris. All the chemists of renown have been convened by circular to concoct new and fearful substances—to devise strange machinery. They will also deliberate upon schemes sent into the War Department, and carry out necessary experi ments. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CITY BETTING—SATURDAY. GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP.

WORKMEN'S INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1870. —AGRICULTURAL HALL, ISLINGTON, September 3.—The number of visitors, exclusive of season ticket holders, exhibitors, and others, on the 3rd inst., was 10,082, and for the week ending same day, 47,067. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The autumn flower show bakes place to-morrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. A very large number of blooms of every variety of dahlias, astus, gladioli, hollyhock, and verbenas will be exhibited. In the afternoon Donizetti's opera " L'Elisire d'Amore " will be played. On Thursday (the last day of the flower show) the blowing up of the Bridge of Kehl, and other grand pyrotechnic devices, will be repeated, and an opera will be played in the afternoon. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF CHELSEA HOSPITAL.— We have reason to believe that General Sir John Penne father, G.C.8., will be appointed to the Governorship of Chelsea Hospital, in succession to Field-Marshal Sir Alexander Woodford. The name of Field-Marshal Sir William Gomm, G.C.8., has also been mentioned for the appointment.—United Service Gazette. kADVE R T I SEM E NT.I - HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS Vhooping Cough, Colds, Pneumonia.—These infantile complaints were the terror of parents, who knew the im possibility of administering medicine internally to children, till Professor Holloway discovered his invaluable Ointment. This ointment, rubbed externally on the throat and chest, passes through the sktn, add penetrates to tha affected tissues without causing the irritability and feverishness always produced by a child's repugnance to medicine, and which vastly procrastinate the cure. No inconvenience or difficulty attaches to this treatment, by which thousands of children axe annually saved or secured against future pulmonary diseases. For all disorders to which childhood is particularly liable, parents,_ guardians, and nurses may with confidence resort to Holloway's Ointment, which, when practicable, shoyld be assisted by his purifying Pills. OUR COTEMPORARIES—This Morning THE REVOLUTION IN PARIS. The Times observes that the volcano has burst. The surrender of the Emperor and the capitulation of MacMahon's army could not stand alone. Such tidings wouid make the earth , open, and the earth has opened in Paris. A revolution has begun. All the dearest feelings of a Frenchman's heart were wounded by the catastrophe of Sedan. The head of the State a prisoner, 80,000 French soldiers capitulating, and all without a note of warning that could have led the nation to anticipate such tremendous disasters. The Ministers, partly perhaps from prudence, partly perhaps, because they still clung to the hope that all might not be lost, told only half the truth on Saturday, and ieserved their full confession till yesterday morning. Even then some hours passed before Paris, stunned and bewildered, mastered the whole truth. Paris yesterday recalled the Paris of February, 1848, and the Paris of 1792. The people rushed upon the Palais Bourbon at the hour when the Deputies proposed to hold their afternoon sitting. The National Guard, which had filled the Place de la Concorde and the quays and bridges since the morning, frater nized with the crowds as in former days, and the Chamber was filled with the surging multi tude. The revolution would have broken out on Saturday had Paris then known all the truth. Count Palikao seized the first moment after the opening of the Chamber to make a statement, but he announced only the defeat of MacMahon and the defeat of Bazaine, and the indefinite postpone ment of the intended junction of the Marshals. Short as it was of the whole truth, this announce ment, bursting upon a deluded people, thrilled Paris to the core. . A vast multitude marched to the Tuileries, shouting " DepositiOn, Deposition !" and demanded of General Trochu that he should assume the government of the country. The General refused to accept an invi tation so made, and again refused when a second and larger multitude pressed him, and his courage saved France from an immediate Revolution. The throng sought, ineffectually, some Republican Deputies, and then dispersed. The great, the fatal, the complete truth was reserved until they separated and the mass of Paris slept. The Daily News says France, after a moment of stupor and consternation, has arisen and shaken off the last rags of the Napoleonic dynasty, and has pronounced her own liberation. Army and people of one accord have refused any longer to be the dupes and victims of a mock regency, a false representative assembly, and of the agents and instruments of the national corruption and degrada tion. The Second Empire is no more. France regains possession of herself and the sympathies of Europe. If, faithful to the voice of the Fathers of the First Constituent Assembly of 'B9, and to the im mortal principles which have been so long defaced and parodied; if in the plenitude of her reconquered free dom, she repudiates aggression and conquest, and all the flagitious policy of an arbitrary and lawless will ; if she proclaims that only defensive wars are just ; if she ab jures all the errors and crimes of 1792, and preserves herself from anarchy and [terrorism, a new and more glorious career of peaceful supremacy awaits her. The News hopes that there will be no hesitation or delay in establishing a secure and durable order of things, founded on the true will of the true nation, which will secure to regenerated France, and to all Europe, the blessings of liberty and peace. The Telegraph says it was evident that some radical change would be the result of the disaster on the Meuse. The honourable close of the Emperor's campaigning might, indeed, as it seemed, have somewhat redeemed, in the eyes of the Parisians, the tremendous sin of failure ; but for France that is a sin which seldom or never is forgiven, whatever acts of heroism or self-denial are done to expiate it. The very terms in which, according to the King of Prussia, the Emperor made his surrender—neither as a soldier in command of any part of his army, nor as a Sovereign with power to treat for peace or take any part in public affairs—almost seemed to invite, as certainly they facilitated the esta blishment in France of a state of political affairs which should know the Napoleons no more. The Morning Post believes that the proclamation of the Republic is the most deplorable admission of weakness that France can make. MM. Gambetta, Pelletan, Fa vre, Ferry, Cremieux, Picard, and the rest can hardly consti tute a serious Government—one that will win the support of friendly States, or inspire the foe with respect for the attitude of France. A Republic in France weans a threatened revolution in Spain and Italy, means the alienation of possible allies, the distrust of reasonable and well - governed States. Nothing could be more dangerous in this supreme hour than confiding to ardent, inexperienced, and desperate theorists the serious interests lof a great country. The rural population is far from sharing the opinions of the Parisian mob. It may thus occur that civil war may be added to the horrors of foreign invasion. Whatever happens, the double question is now proposed to us— How to save France from the conqueor? and how to save her from herself ? THE FRENCH ARMY. Unaware of the fact that a Republic had been pro claimed yesterday at Paris, the Standard puzzles itself with conjectures this morning as to what will be the con sequence of the Emperor's surrender. What next? it says, is now the question. Is the war virtually at an end? Is France now lying a helpless corpse beneath the heel of the invader, or will she continue the struggle, and by pure obstinacy wear out the strength of the Prus sians ? It depends in great measure on the behaviour of Paris, and also on the appeararce of some man capable. like Carnot, of organising victory. France has plenty of combatants, many of them old soldiers, and a still larger number possessing a certain tincture of drill and dis cipline. What the country requires at this moment is not hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but one general of skill, reputation, and character, one able to inspire confidence, and with sufficient firmness to enable him, like Durnouriez in 1792, to bide his time. After all, what is the actual result of the struggle hitherto, and what is the present state of affairs? About 200,000 French sot diers have been killed, captured, or placed hors de combat, and, what is more serious, the gain of a terrible prestige by the Prussians. As to numerical losses, the French army, including the Garde Motile, and excluding the Garde Nationale Sedentaire, numbered a few weeks ago about 1,200,000 men. There remains then nearly a mil lion of soldiers available if only an able organiser anti leader can be found. As to the organiser, Comte Palikao seems to give good promise, ard General Trochu has long been regarded as one of the most able soldiers of France. He, three years ago, disclosed, in no ambiguous terms, the defects of the French military system, and did his best, though with but slight effect, to call out the nation from the fool's paradise in which a long series of successes in war had plunged it. He recognised the disease, perhaps he may be able to apply the remedy. Time will shew. As to the resources to be rendered available against a Prussian advance on Paris, we learn that 200,000 of the Garde Mobile are to be summoned to Paris at once, that an army of 100,000 re g ular soldiers has during the last ten days been forming at Lyons, and that on the 2nd and 3rd 50,000 troops, under General Vinoy, left Paris to join MacMahon. They must have learnt the surrender of the army at Sedan in time to avoid capture, and will serve to form the nucleus of a new army, the most judi cious position for which would be at Rheims. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.) THE EXPORTATION OF ARMS. The town of Hull is placarded with bills offering a reward of £5O for information where rifles and other fire arms which are said to have been purchased in the country for exportation on behalf of one of the belligerent Powers are now stored. The matter is in the hands of a private detective agency. REPRESENTATION OF SHREWSBURY. For the representation of Shrewsbury Mr. Charles Cecil Cotes, landed proprietor, Salop, offers himself as the Liberal candidate. He announces himself as in favour of the ballot, and expresses his belief that a reduc tion of the national expenditure may be effected by a revi sion of the taxation without impairing the efficiency of the national defences. Mr. Douglas Straight, the well-known London barrister, offers himself in the Conservative inte rest. FAT/a , -ORE IN THE STRAND. Late on Saturday night a fire, attended with fatal con sequences, broke out in Cecil House, Cecil-street, gil.and, which is let out in chambers. The fire was discovered about 11.45 p.m., and spread with such dreadful rapidity that the inmates, who had all retired to rest, were com pelled to escape in their night-dresses. We understand that Mr. Forbes, a gentleman just returned from the West Indies, is missing, and the worst fears are enter tained for him. M r . Myer, of Dumfries, fractured his spine in letting himself down from a third-floor window. He is now lying at Charing-cress Hospital, andis prosper ing as favourably as can be expected under the circum stances. Two firemen were also injured by the falling of a wall, and were also taken to the hospital. The house and contents are insured in the Phoenix.
