Some of the Vienna journals have announced that Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador in Paris, has received instructions implying, according to some, a conditional, according to others, an un conditional recall from his post in the French capital. The facts of the case are that Prince Metternich had received positive instructions in consonance with diplomatic usage, to guide him in the event, which has since arisen, of a change of Go vernment in France. These instructions order him to regard his credentials to the former Govern ment as entirely annulled, but to continue to carry on the business of the Embassy without stoppage,' and, with that object, to enter into semi-official relations with the Government de facto established.

THE EMPEROR'S INTERFERENCE WITH THE WAR. Now that the downfall of the Napoleonic dynasty is au fait accompli, anecdotes of all kinds are current of the disastrous influence exercised by the Emperor upon the war. The Paris correspondent of the Indepenclaiece Beige says that General Failly, who is universally denounced, was retained in his command by the personal influence of the Emperor, who, it is said, thwarted as much as pos sible the appointment of General Palikao. It was, con sequently, a matter of regret that the Emperor should have emerged from the torpor in whichM.Rouher found him sunk when he visited him at Chalons. He was then com pletely overwhelmed. "lam no longer." he said "either the head of an army or of a dynasty." In vain the Pre sident of the Senate and ex-confidential Minister endea voured to raise him from his despondency. He evidently thought that all hope for his dynasty was over. It is said that on learning the march of the Crown Prince of Prus sia on Paris, the Emperor, apprehensive on account of the Empress, ordered Marshal MacMahon to retreat, and to give battle under the Paris forts. This would have been the ruin of the plan which had been decided on by General Palikao and the two marshals. Marshal MacMahon refused to alter his plan, and referred to the Minister of War, who desired him to continue his march northwards. As the Empress insisted on the Emperor's wishes being carried out, the Minister of War very plainly informed her that if she persisted in thus interfering with the military plans, notwithstanding his repugnance to the idea of a Provisional Government, he would be obliged to lay the matter before the Chamber of Deputies, and ask them to put him in possession of full political power as he was of the military. The Empress yielded to this threat, but the despatches exchanged between the head-quarters and the Minister caused a delay of twenty-four hours and possibly prevented that junction of MacMahon and Bazaine which was believed tertian of accomplishment. THE MARCH ON PARIS. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says the Crown Princes of Prussia and Saxony marched for Paris yesterday morning. The Bavarian Corps, uuder General Von der Tann, has been left at Sedan, whence 90,000 prisoners have been sent in batches of 20,000 to Germany. The French who do not sign the capitulation remain in Sedau as prisoners. The King and Count Bismarck accom pany the armies towards Paris. Great numbers of officers have been released on parole, and aro re turning through Belgium. AN ARMISTICE PROPOSED BY LORD GRANVILLE. The Independence Beige srates that Lord Gran ville has propssed an armistice, and that all the neutral Powers have agreed to counsel Germany not to attempt to nismember France. as such a proceeding would only perpetuate the war. [The correspondent of the Daily News at Brussels telegraphs that it is reported there that Jules Favre has already made proposals of peace to Prussia. The BELGIAN NEUTRALITY. The Etoile Beige records with a lively satisfaction that the measures designed by their Government for the pre servation of the strict neutrality of Belgium were punc tually executed. It was to be feared that these orders, though perfect in theory, might fail in practice,-but the event has proved the contrary. The belligerents had evidently been warned of the dangers they would run in violating the territory of Belgium, and understood that toe English would intervene to assist the Belgians. Hence it came to pass that the troops of both armies acknow ledged the influence of the flag of truce joined to the Belgian flag. French and Prussian soldiers alike have laid down their arms, and thus the Belgians have been spared the mortification of firing upon their friends and neighbours who found a welcome on the neutral soil which serves to-day as a refuge for so many unfortunate ones who have been driven from their country by the horrors of war. According to the last accounts, a considerable number of officers and soldiers of both armies, especially the French, have laid down their arms, and have been consigned to various Belgian towns. Ten thousand men, with 400 artillery carriages, 1,200 horses, and ten pieces of artillery, are spoken of as forming the figures. The Etoile Beige thinks that their soldiers fulfil a noble mission in receiving arms from so many soldiers, whose valour has been proved in heroic combats, and thinks that Europe will recognise the importance of the neutrality which has been so faithfully adhered to. Many of the Metropolitan clergy on Sunday referred to the latest phase of the war, and expressed an opinion that the hour had now arrived for England to step in and offer negotiations for peace. We learn by Atlantic cable that the news of the Emperor Napoleon's surrender and Marshal MacMahon's defeat was published in New York at noon on Saturday, and caused much excitement. Great rejoicing took place among the Germans, and intense anxiety was felt asto the course the Regency in Paris would adopt. The Standard correspondent says a characteristic fea ture is that no one in the Chamber or out of it has had a word of respect or sympathy for the Empress Eugenie and the Princess Clothilde ; they have stood firm at their post, and exhibited a courage and 'composure under these circumstances which entitles them to the respect and reverence of any • one with a feeling of man hood. I hope and pray that the first measure taken by Trochu will be to secure their safety, and his next to take very energetic measures to preserve order in Paris. It has not as yet been seriously disturbed, but there are those elements in Paris which induce me to think that there are enemies more to be dreaded—contemptible as they are --than the Prussians. A correspondent of the Manchester Examiner says that that in the battle of Sedan, 200,000 French were opposed to 300,000 Prussians. The line of battle was five miles long. 250 mitrailleuses answered the Prussian artillery. Five villages were burned. The Meuse was choked up with corpses. The losses were frightful : they are esti mated at 80,000 killed awl wounded. The artist of the Graphic who accompanied the French army of the Rhine, has again been heard of. He disap peared for some time, mid there was subsequently a re port that he had been arrested by the Prussians as a spy. He has now written from Nancy announcin' his release, and that during his detention he was very well treated by his cantors: He will henceforth aceompanv the Prussian army in tne A l', SEPTEMBER 6, 1870. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.) THE WAR. Ail open-air meeting was held at Birmingham last night, at which resolutions were pased thanking her Majesty's Government tor the neutral course pursued in reference to the war, urging them to use all efforts towards obtain ing peace, and deprecatjag any interference with the French people, in referenc the form of Government they may prefer to adopt. AID FOR THE SICK AND WOUNDED. A meeting for this object was held yesterday at Barns. icy, under the presidency of the Mayor.

A public meeting was held also, yesterday, in the Town Hall, Preston. The Mayor presided, and a general corn. mittee was appointed to collect subscriptitms. A ladies' committee was also organised for the same purpose. Con• tributions received in the room amoun4ed to over £1.45. MURDER IN GLOUCESTER. The Gloucester city magistrates yesterday committed for trial for murder one Richard Harper, aged 21, who stabbed James Bubb, aged 24, near the heart on Friday week. Both men were working on the Severn Navigation Improvement Works, and in the evening were drinking together, when Harper threw some beer in Bubb's face. The men then fought, and while Bubb was on the ground Harper pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the chest. Bubb was taken to the Gloucester Infirmary, where he lingered until Saturday, and then died. A post mortem examination shewed that the wound hact..penetrated to the heart. The prisoner admitted stabbing Bubb, but pleaded provocation. THREATENED STRIKE OF IRON-WORKERS. The ironworkers of South Staffordshire and Worcester: shire resolved yesterday to organise a general strike unless they receive an increase in the rate of wages. SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY. At twelve o'clock on Sunday night, a serious poaching affray occurred at Gumly Hall, on the grounds of Captain Whitmore, near Market Harborough. Eight poachers attacked four keepers, inflicting serious injuries. The keepers lie in a precarious state, more than one not being expected to recover. DISTURBANCES IN ENNISKILLEN. A serious disturbance took place at Enniskillen on Sunday night. Catholic mobs paraded the town cheering France. The Protestants thereupon assembled, and a counter demonstration was held. Missiles were thrown. Captain Butler and the magistrates present had the mili- tary in readiness. A policeman was injured. Priests interfered to prevent further riot, and the streets were cleared at eleven o'clock. More rioting was expected. MISCONDUCT IN A CHURCH John Kite and George Woodward, respectably dressed young men, were charged before the Uxbridge magis trates on Monday with disorderly conduct during divine service on Sunday afternoon, 23rd ult., at Cowley church, From the evidence of the rector, the Rev. J. C. Hilliard, it appeared that the prisoners entered the church in a hasty and rude way in the middle of the sermon, and made their way to the gallery, where one of them sat down with his hat on. They then coma menced laughing and talking.. The rector mo tioned to the one who was covered, and he took off his hat, and for a few moments was more decorus ; but soon afterwards they incited the boys near them ; and the noise became so intolerably irreve rent that the rector was obliged to stop and tell them, that they must either behave better or leave the church One of them replied, "All right Sir ;" but, their noise continuing, they had to be put out of the church. They had a stone bottle with them containing beer, from which they partook freely. This evidence was corroborated, and they were sentenced to two months' imprisonment each. with the option of a fine. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A COLLEGIAN, Intelligence has reached Oxford of the death of Mr. Ernays Leopold Bernays, Exhibitioner of New College, who was drowned while bathing at Glengariffe. ESCAPE FROM PORTLAND PRISON. It was discovered early yesterday morning that a convict had escaped from his cell at Portland Prison. He got through the roof by making a rope with the blanket and sheets. The black "flag was hoisted, and the coastguards, with troops from the barracks, formed a line on the beach and iu Portland around the prison precincts to prevent any escape from the island. The convict is not yet caught. The election for tie mastership :of Balliol College is fixed for the 7th instant. It is expected Professor Jowett will be elected unanimously. On Saturday Lord Erne's steamer was wrecked at Corry Bridge, upper Lough Erne. Lord Crichton, M.P and his friends had to walk to the nearest town. Large numbers of Germans are constantly arriving in Lough Foyle from America on their way to the Continent to take part in the war there. MURDER IN HACKNEY. At the Worship-street Police-court, yesterday, Thomas Walker, about twenty-five years of age, whose head was enveloped in surgical bandages, was placed at the bar be. fore Mr. Newton, charged with causing the death of Walter Witting. Mrs. Mary Ann Witting, a respectable-looking woman, who cried whilst giving her evidence, said : I live at No. 2, Durham-street, Hackney-road. My husband died at two o'clock yesterday (Sunday) afternoon from the effects of injuries inflicted upon him by that man (pointing to the prisoner). About half-past one o'clock yesterday after noon I was in the kitchen, when the prisoner, who lives in the same house, came down and struck me. He pushed me out of the kitchen into the garden, and then struck me about the head and face. I screamed out for my husband and he came to help me. Directly he entered the garden the prisoner rushed at him and struck him. He got hie head beneath his arm, and held him while he beat him in a dreadful manner, striking him about the head and be hind the ear. My husband said to me, "Polly, I have go!: my death blow," and staggered into the house and up to the parlour. I followed him, and shut the door, and the prisoner came up and burst it in. I called out that we should all be murdered, and my husband got up from the chair and went to the window to call a constable. Ho fell forward and slipped out of the window on the pave ment and died. I ran to the door, and the prisoner pursued me till I got into the street to my husband. Mr. Newton stopped the further hearing of the case, and it having been stated that a post mortem examination of the body was to take place, be remanded the prisoner for the production of medical evidence. The prisoner was then remanded. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY.—MOII - September sth, 1870.—Admissions by season tickets, 1,153 ; ditto on payments, 3,208 ; total visitors, 4,361. The Baboo Chunder Sen will be present this (Tues day evening, at a meeting of the East Central Tempe rance Association, at the Town Hall, Shoreditch. A. rumour having been circulated to the effect that Mr. M'Combie intends to retire from the representation of West Aberdeenshire in Parliament, that gentleman announces that the statement is incorrect. THE COUNT DE GRAMONT.—The Count de Gramont was said to be one of the passengers by the Calais steamboat which arrived at Dover yesterday morn ing. By the French mail packet, which arrived in the afternoon, the Prince de Metternich and the Duchess de Mouchy were passengers. Intelligence was received by the same mail to the effect that M. Gambetta had sent a circular to the prefects and sub-prefects throughout France, apprising them of the altered state of affairs. Large numbers of French people land at Dover daily. Mr. Gladstone is expected to arrive town to day, though the circumstance that his coining, which was arranged for Saturday last, has been at least once post poned may naturally be thought to cast some doubt upon the event until it shall have occurred. Indeed, there is no absolute necessity foi his exchanging the sea air, which has proved so beneficial to his health, for the more official atmo sphere of London, since he finds in his host at Walmer Castle, Lord Granville, precisely that colleague whom he would most desire to consult at the present crisis ; and we have already explained how direct and instantaneous arc the means of communication between Downing-street and the Lord Warden's residence. What we have just said sufficiently disposes of the baseless statement quoted by an evening contemporary yesterday from the bide 9endance Beige, that Lord Granville had " proposed an • armistice," and that a Cabinet Council had been " called for Monday " Trier/rank THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE. The special correspondent of the Tgegrctph thus de- scribes the fall of the Empire.:— "In every street, among the shouts and plaudits of excited and howling mobs, men mounted upon ladders are tearing down the arms and eagles which are the in signia of the empire, and defacing or destroying with hammers the letters which Syllable the Em peror's ill-omened name. Perfumers, coiffeurs, clemisiers, tailors, bootmakers, fournisseurs, up• )Isterers, confectioners, jewellers, who so lately gloried in adding 'De S. M. PEmpereur,' or 'De S. M. l'lmperatrice ' behind the words indicative of their calling —such, for instance, as the well-known Leopold, the `Coiffeur de S. M. l'Empereue—are now vieing with each other in having poor fallen Cnsar's name obliterated and defaced. I hear no allusion, no whisper which breathes the name of the Comte de Paris or the Due d'Aumale. They seem, to all in tents and purposes, as much forgotten as though they had never existed. The Republic, the Republic ! is the only cry. Nor are there wanting Frenchmen who already, with flashing eyes, are eager to tell you, ' If we succeed in establishing a Republic in France, especially without bloodshed, and without passing through an inter val of disorder and anarchy, let other countries beware of the dangerous contagion which Republicanism exhales. " When the Chamber met, soonafter one o'clock on Sun day, it presented ate extraordinary sight. The strangers' galleries were filled to overflowing, and the members were in a state of the wildest excitement. The debate was begun by M. Raspail, the storm petrel of Revolution, who, without wasting words, called upon the Chamber to proclaim the dethronement of the Napoleonic Dynasty. The fiery Irreconcilable 'I WAS followed by - M. de Keratry, who attacked the Ministry for guard ing the Corps Legisratif with troops, and for giving orders contrary to those of General Trochu. General Palikao offered a short defence of his con duct and then he proposed that the Chamber should meet the crisis by electing a Committee of Public Safety, which should include the Ministers. A sharp vote from the Left elicited the further information that General Palikao himself should be nominated the Lieute nant-General of the Council. When the Minister of War had ceased speaking, M. Jules Favre rose to demand that the Chamber should proclaim the dethronement of the Emperor. On two grounds he claime I priority—first, that he had given notice of his plan before Gen. Palikao had proposed the scheme of the Government ; and, secondly, that his project was the more complete. M. Thiers also claimed a hearing for his motion to appoint a Commission of Government and National Defence, and to convoke a Constituent Assembly so soon as.circumstances should permit. After M. Gambetta had criticised the terms of the resolution, M. Schneider, the president, proposed that the Chambers should declare all the three propositions urgent, and that a commission of nine members should draw up a report on the subject, and communicate it to the Deputies. The sitting was then suspended for a short time, and about half-past two, when the deputies again met, the Chamber was occupied by a battalion of the National Guards. M. Gambetta almost immediately mounted the tribune, and with the thundering eloquence of which he is master, proceeded todiscuss the duties of the hour. He calledupon the Parisians to be calm and united. The efforts of the eloquent Deputy to maintain order were fruitless; the tumult grew wilder and more wild; and when M. Cr& mieux mounted the tribune, his words were drowned in the noise of discordant voices. M. Schneider himself then tried to restore order, and for a moment he succeeded. But no sooner did he cease to urge the necessity of calm than he himself, and all his dignity, were swept away by a wild rush of the mob into the Chamber. Meanwhile M. Gambetta retained possession of the tribune, and, ad dressing the surging crowd, besought them to keep order and be calm. Joining in the appeal, M. Schneider im plored the people to remember their dirty as patriots, as lovers of France and of liberty. He reminded them that the Deputies would discuss the duties of the hour, and would pronounce such a decision as should be demanded by the situation. All the efforts of the President, however, were fruitless, and at last he-came down from his throne of authority in despair. By this time the confusion and the noise had so increased that M. Girault du Cher tried in vain to throw oil on the troubled waters ; and when M. Gambetta attempted to make himself heard, he equally failed. Then M. Glais-Bizoin went to the oratorical post, but his voice was also drowned in the wild tumult, and his rhetoric was reduced to a dumb show of frantic gesticulation. House orators of the mob took the duties of the President out of the tribune into their own hands. One seized M. Schneider's bell and violently rang it as a summons to silence ; others tried to address their companions ; and, in a• struggle to gain possession of the tribune, one man was thrown down. By this time it was about twenty minutes past time o'clock, and the Corps L6gislatif had virtually ceased to exist. Most of the members had fled, and the hall of debate was left in possession of the crowd. Mean while the Place de la Concorde was filled by an enormous throng, bearing emblems of Republicanism, and raising loud shouts of Vive la Republique ! ' The noise was deafening—the confusion indescribable." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'—LAST EVENING. GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP. 4to 1 agst Geant des Battailes (offered) ST.

WAR WITH CHINA.—The Standard says it is re ported, in quarters exceedingly well informed, that Eng land will, in conjunction with France, as soon as a stable Government is formed across the Channel, declare war with China to obtain that satisfaction for the Tientsin massacre which appears to have been refused, and to secure material guarantees against a repetition of such an outrage.

The Times remarks that the Republic has been called into existence to save France from dismemberment. The German people have sworn to dismember France. It is impossible to put the two state ments together without seeing that the mise ries of the war are far from over ; that weeks and even months may pass before peace' shall be agd:n vouchsafed to Europe. The struggle may be d;ffi cult, but France will not yet confess that it is hopeless. It is henceforth nation against nation. No Ministry, no dynasty, stands between France and the in vaders. "From to-day every Frenchman is asso ciated with the army as an avenger of the country." So runs the Proclamation of the Republic, and it is, in fact, a levy en masse whih is decreed. The manu facture and sale of arms are declared absolutely free, and it is evidently thought that every man will arm himself and march into the field as a volunteer, and that the miracle of 1792 will be again repeated. If, says the Times, we do not share this belief—and we cannot — we cannot also withhold our sympathy from those to whom it is an article of religious faith. The German armies of to-day no more reproduce the miscellaneous horde of uneducated and ignorant serfs which obeyed Brunswick than the strategy of von Moltke reproduces the strategy of the Duke. France may he as earnest, as passionate, and as united in 1870 as in 1792 ; but opposed to her is a nation equally earnest, equally united, equally resolute, immeasurably better armed,better drilled, and, asJar as the promise of the past may be trusted, better commanded. The conflict is too unequal, even though waged in France itself, far away from the Ger man base of operations, and it can have but one end, though that end may be delayed for two or even three months more. There is no prospect before us but a bitter, savage, and desperate defence, ending in the sullen sub mission of absoitia exhaustion. THE YOUNG REPUBLIC. The Daily News exclaims—The Republic ! What would France do without that resource ? In fair weather she has many friends—Emperors, Kings, Regents, Bourbons, Valois, Bonapartists, Pretenders by Divine Right, Elect of the People, Constitutional Princes—all are anxious to render her service. , But under re verses, when Napoleon, tired of answering for everything, will acknowledge the duties neither of soldier nor sovereign, when Orleanists would prefer, if you please, to bide their time, when the address of the Comte de Chambord is not known—oh ! then the Republic is ad mirable : so willing, so unselfish in its devotion, so amiable in its simplicity and the abundance of its child like faith ! Who can wonder that Paris on Sunday last, finding herself—finding France—deserted by those who had brought both to the verge of ruin, should have been delighted to discover that there were at least a few men to speak openly the language of courage and of hope. No need of barricades this time ;no death struggle for the honour of braving disaster, and confronting a stern. and incensed foe. Where, when the fatal fruits of Imperialism could be no longer concealed, was that servile and craven majority in the Legislative Body, the mean provincial reflex of centralised officialism, which, as long as soldiers could be found to shoot down their countrymen in the streets, insolently domineered over the few men who dared stand up for the nation and for truth? At the commencement of Bazaine's defeats, MacMahon's capitulation, the Emperor's surrender, they turned pale. They heard Jules Favre propose the disso tion of the Empire in silence ; but when M. Thiers, and even Count Palikacy brought forward in succession pro posals to construct an entirely new Government, by direct election from the Chamber, just as if the Regency, and the Empress, and the Prince Imperial, and M. 011ivier's Constitution had no existence, they fled, and were no more seen. M. de Cassagnac pro posing to shoot, by sentence of court-martial, the Deputies about to become a Provisional Government, would have been respectable at such a moment, but he was not there. We do not blame the official majority for disap pearing. They were professed worshippers of success, and their idol had fallen flat on his fact. As soon as it is seen how things go they will be found offering the sickly but welcome incense of their adoration to the new powers, and it would be clean contrary to their prin ciples to defend misfortune. Heaven defend the young Republic againt their friendship ! But let us even do them justice; the circumstances were peculiar. Even the duellists and swashbucklers of the imperial regime might fairly ask how they were to defend a man that ran away or surrendered himself. The democratic journals demanded that the Eiuperdr should s'effacer. Surely they are satisfied. His Majesty has effaced not only him self, but his wife, his son, his throne, his system, and his supporters. All who have been connected in any wry with the second Empire will for many a long yea:• be discredited and condemned. THE NECESSITY FOR PEACE. The Telegraph, avers that at this hour the momentous question for humanity, and that by which History will judge the men who have suddenly assumed the reins of power, is, whether they will accept from the deposed Emperor the fatal legacy of the • war, or will realise the situation, and give their bleeding country peace. Although commissioned to defend Paris to the "bitter end," General Trochu is the one man in all France who thoroughly understands the helpless failure of her organised defences, and the prodigious. strength of the German arms. His colleagues, without exception, are men who spoke out at the beginning against the mad war declared by the Due de Gramont, and who can have, therefore, Ito wish so strong as that it should end, if only it could end, without ruin to the new order of things, and without intolerable shame to the country. Even Rochefort, now borne in triumph from his prison, was dead against the war. The peasants who voted " yes " were earnestly against it. It was purely an Imperial istic policy, risked in the interest of the - dynasty which has wrecked it ; and therefore that which the French Republic will inherit, if it consent to administer to the estate of the ruined Emperor, must be its shame and not its purpose—a wild hope of revenge, and not a programme of serious diplomacy. It is a simple fact, that in the few days or hours that must elapse before a hostile shot is fired upon Paris, peace has an opportunity which the whole world urges France to seize, and it is in the name of humanity, in the name of civilisation, in the name of the great prospects of a free Government, and in the name also of the truest wisdom and the noblest honour both of France and Germany, that the people of both countries are implored to put an end forthwith to this dreadful war. M. Louis BL c.—Louis Blanc left Brighton yesterday morning at 10 o'clock for Paris. At the sale of Count Lagrange's sporting stud yes terday the famous horse Gladiateur realised the high price of 5,800 guineas. MR. PRESCOTT HEwErr.—Mr. Prescott Hewett asks us to state, in correction of a report contained in a medical contemporary, that he has not visited profes sionally His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon. THE TRAGEDY AT BATH; Mr. H. C. Hopkins, writing in the British Medical Journal concerning the std case of Miss Prankard, who is now in the Bath United Hospital, says that she has been wounded by two bullets, one entering the face on either side in front of the ear. Both are now lodged in the bones of the upper part of the mouth or of the nostril. Up to the present time she has progressed very favourably, but no attempt has yet been made to remove the bullets. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE MODEL PRISON, HOLLOWAY.—On Saturday, at the Model Convict Prison, Holloway, while some of the prisoners were engaged in works now going on there for the enlargement of the Prison, an arch gave way, and buried some of them beneath it. Assistance was at once rendered to extricate them as soon as possible. One of the prisoners expired almost directly on being got out, the others are now lying in the infirmary of the prison, and it is feared other deaths may take place. At the time of the accident a prisoner named Webb jurttped from off a scaffold a distance of 30 feet. - - THE WOUNDS OF MACMAHON.—THE ALLEGED SHOOTING OF DE FAILLY.-A shell burst under Marshal MacMahon's horse, instantly killing the animal, and seriously wounding its rider in the right leg. Marshal MacMahon was carried to the rear, where he lies grieve ment blesse ; but, whether he lives or dies, he was, at any rate, spared the humiliation of signing a capitulation entailing consequences of such magnitude as, during the long and stormy history of France, have never before been paralleled. Almost simultaneously with the grievous wound of MacMahon, General de Failly fell dead, shot, as L'Eleeteur Libre avers, through the head by his own hand, but, as I have reason to believe from better infor• illation, killed by his own men.—George Augustus Sala.
