MONETARY REPORTS—YEaTERDAy. Whilst the continued absence of news from the seat of war precludes all activity in the Stock Markets, the further reduction in the Bank rate has had a beneficial effect upon prices. There is still a healthy feeling appa rent, the result of additional bond fide purchases. No feature of importance has transpired to-day.

The clearing house return for the week ending Sept. 14, shews a total of £63,887,000, against £73,400,000 for the corresponding week last year. The sum of £5,000 has been withdrawn from the bank to-day. A further fall of A per cent. has taken place in the Bank rate, the quotation now being 3 per cent. This movement has been anticipated, as considerable difficulty has been experienced in employing money at the former quo' *ions; in fact, in the general market prices have been fully per cent. lower for the past few days. In Lombard-street to-day three months' paper is negotiated at 2 per cent. The joint-stock banks and discount houses have reduced their rates for money at call to 2 per cent., and, if with seven or fourteen days' notice, to 2/ per cent.

The hall-yearly meeting of the Merchant Banking Com. parry was held at their offices in Cannon-street, Mr. M'Arthur in the chair, who shortly stated the position and prospects of the company, which he considered to be,. safe and legitimate, though the critical state of affairs, both in this country and on the Continent, called for caution. He concluded by,proposing a dividend of five per cent. per annum for the half-year just ended, and payable on Saturday and Monday next. This was agreed to. The meeting was then declared special, and several alterations, for the most part of a formal nature, were made in the articles of constitution. The coupons due Ist October next on the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company's Seven per Cent. First Mort- gage Bonds, negotiated through Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co., will be paid at their counting-house on and after that date. The Mexican Bondholders' Committee have received through their agent, via New York, a further proposition from the Mexican Government offering terms of settle ment, which, however, the committee deem inadmissable, and have replied by telegraph, suggesting a counter pro position. The Poonah (s) from Alexandria, with the heavy por tion of the Indian mail, brings £93,870 in specie.

Advices from Cairo state that the Government of the Sublime Porte has withdrawn its protest against the recent Egyptian loan concluded with the Franco- Egyptian Bank, being - clearly convinced that the loan was a private operation of the Khedive's Daira. A further fall of i per cent. has taken place in the Bank rate the quotation now being 3 per cent. This movement has been anticipated, as considerable difficulty has been experienced in employing money at the former quotations ; in fact in the general market prices have been fully i per cent. lower for the past few days. In Lombard-street to-day three months' paper is . _ negotiated at 2i per cent. The Joint-Stock Banks and ... discount houses have reduced their rate for money, at call, to 2 per cent., and if with seven or fourteen days' notice to 2i per cent. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.—TuunsDAy.

'THE LAST SORTIE FROII METZ.. The AllgeineineZeitung, of Augsburg, speaks of a desperate attempt made on the 3rd of September by. Marshal Bazaino to escape from Metz. Although this sortie occurred so many days back it appears to have been little noticed. The French, led by the-. Imperial Guard valiantly assailed the German lines to the northwards of the beleaguered town, and were met by the corps of East Prussians under General Alanteuffel. The fight lasted the whole day, but the G6rmans, strongly posted in their entrenched lines, had the advantage at all points. The French were driven back with great loss. Towards the close of the fight the French Imperial Guard made a charge with the bayonet. A close encounter— a oomparatively rare event in these battles— ensued, the German's making large use of their favourite weapon, the Batt-end of the rifle. The Guards could get to the German lines, but. could not force them. They suffered so terribly in these combats that at last Bazaine gave up this continuation of a long series of attempts to escape. The Zeitung says that the German loss was ex ceedingly small, not rising above '7OO killed and wounded. Such a limited butcher's bill after a whole day's fighting is to be Attributed to the altered position of the armies. The Germans this time defended themselves in their lines. They had not, as before, to advance to the assault in face of a bewildering blaze of cbassepots. The French lost at least 3,000 killed and wounded, and soma hundreds of prisoners fell into the hands of the Germans. In an apologetic manner the Zeitung adds that " we could not pursue the enemy because we retreated upon Metz ; hence the num ber of prisoners was not greater." Bazaine seems to have made no further assault upon the German ciroum vallation. MISCELLANEOUS SECURITIES.

Monts,"the - military Governor of Cassel. The Chitteau of Wilhelmshohe is situated on a small hill in a charming valley, surrounded by magnificent trees, and presenting one of the finest views in Germany. The cascades in the park are of European reputation. Napoleon is surrounded by souvenirs of his family, as Jerome, King of West phalia, once resided at Wilhelmshohe. The imprisonment of the Emperor is merely a nominal one ; he has perfect freedom of action. He extends his walks beyond the limits of the park, and does not seem anxious to escape notice. On one occasion I came close to him and could hardly recognise him. He seemed to have aged thirty years during the five years which had elapsed since I saw him. His face puffed up with a yellow tint, his eyes sunken and without animation, his movements slow, cramped, and almost mechanical, all produce a most pain ful impression. His countenance is chiefly remarkable for its complete want of expression, and ho shews signs of heaviness, which approaches an apathetic stupor. This is all that remains of the man who has made Europe tremble, and who has even now awakened the grief of hundreds of thousands. Nemesis has begun its work.. The Emperor goes. to bed late and gets up very early. The windows of his room are lighted up till long past midnight, and before the dawn he takes a walk in the garden. Napoleon and his Gene rals appear to realise the gravity of their position, but the subaltern officers do not seem to understand it at all. They walk about the park laughing and talking with the passers-by, and altogether bear the appearance of persons who are on a party of pleasure. It will be a satisfaction if the Emperor dismisses the greater part of them, for their frivolity is extreme. They sly that the Prussians will restore order in France, and that the Emperor will return. One of them said that the news of the Republic was a Prussian canard. When I offered to bring for his inspection the first number of the Official Journal of the French Republic he shrugged his shoulders, and said, haughtily, " Mon Dieu, Monsieur, you must not believe all that you see in the papers." THE SECRET FUNDS. The Government of the National Defence has ordered , full reports to be made of the lists and accounts relating to the employ of the secret funds granted to the budget of the Interior under the Imperial regime. This order was given the day after the proclamation of the Republic, as the Minister of the Interior desired to prove by his acts that he denounced before public opinion the system of corruption which prevailed under the old regime, and to separate those services which are of public utility from the mysterious subsidies with which they are confounded. This special account, which forms a chapter in the General Budget of the Interior, has been made the object of a scrupulous examination most actively pursued. It must suffice to say at present that, far-seeing only in what related to matters of corruption, the late Govern ment had taken the precaution to give a blank order, under the signature of the Minister, for the payments which were to be made from the secret funds, so that it is impossible to make out in a precise form who has bene• fited by these payments, the account, with the exception of the Minister's signature, being in most instances an anonymous one. COUNT BISMARCK'S REPORT TO THE KING. • Count Bismarck's report to the King of Prussia of the capitulation of Sedan has been published at length. It recapitulates the facts with which we are already familiar, and says that Bismarck met the Emperor in an open car riage, and together they went into a labourer's house in a lohely situation at Donchery. " There, in a very small room, which contained one table and two chairs, I had about an hour's conversatio4 with the Emperor. His Majesty principally expressed a wish to obtain more favourable terms of capitulation for the army. I completely declined to negotiate on this matter with his Majesty whilst the purely military questions were to be settled between Generals von Moltke and Wimpffen. On the other hand, I asked his Majesty whether he was inclined to enter into negotiations for peace. The Emperor replied that, as prisoner, he was not now in a position to do so ; and when I further , asked through whom his views in relation to the government of France were now to be learned, his Majesty referred me to the Government then established in Paris. The Emperor went out into the open air, and invited me to sit beside him before the door of the house. His Majesty asked me if it was not practicable to let the French army cross the Belgian frontier, that it might be there disarmed and interned. I had already discussed this contingency also with General von Moltke on the previous evening, and, for reasons already alluded to, I could not enter into a promise of this compromise. In reference to the political situation, I, on my part, took no initiative, nor the Emperor either—only in so far as he lamented the misfortunes 6f the war, and declared that he himself had not wished for the war, but that ho had been compelled to make it by the pressure of French patio Aftey some further conversation , Count Bismarck suggested that the Emperor should remove to the Chateau at Frenois to await the King, as more suitable than a labourer's house. He agreed, and proceeded there, but the King, as we know, declined to see him until the capitulation was completed. Count Bismarck, in his report, pays a high tribute to General Wimpffen, who declared he had been compelled to surrender by the want of pro visions and ammunition. A FRENCH ACCOUNT OF THE .BATTLE OF SEDAN. The Patric publishes a full account of the battle o Sedan, which it give 3 as authentic : " During the night of August 31st and on the morning of September Ist, the Ist, sth, 7th, and 12th corps d'arnide returned from . Beaumont, established themselves on the north of Sedan, and occupied the following posi tions facing the Meuse and on the right bank of that river : " 1. On the left wing : The 12th corps (General Le Brun) at Moncelle In Platinere and la Petite Moncelle, watching the route from Mezieres to Montmedy past Carignan, and covering the railway and the passage of Bazeilles. This corps was three kilometres from Sedan. 2. On the centre ; the Ist corps (General Ducrot), on the heights of Dagny, between La Petite Moncelle and Givonne ; the sth corps (General de Wimpffen, who arrived during the battle of the preceding evening and assumed the command), in position on the heights which command the grounds of Givands, and in the former camp to the right of the Ist corps, and uniting it with the 7th. 3. On the right wing the 7th corps (General Felix Douay), stretching from Floing to Illy. " These positions describing a curve'. round Sedan in the direction of south-west and north-west, covered a space of five kilometres at a distance of about four kilometres from the place. During the same night the Prussian army began to establish itself facing Sedan, on the left bank of the Meuse, covering the hasten over a distance of five or six kilometres by a bad road. General Wimpffen, on taking the chief command, no doubt saw this, for he made the Ist corps resume its position of the morning, and reinforced the left of this corps with the Saurin brigade of the sth corps. A retro grade movement on Mezieres was difficult in broad day light. as the enemy, whose forces were continually increasing occupied the ground between that place and Sedan. General Wimpffen resolved to content himself with main taining his positions, and only fighting a defensive battle. Up to this time the battle was not unfavourable to us. Towards midday the commandant of the 7th Corps became anxious about some of his troops who occupied the wood of Garenne, and were exposed to a murderous fire. General Wimpffen reinforced them by some regi ments from the sth and Ist, and some of the cavalry reserve. The Prussian shells made terrible havoc in the ranks of the latter. It was impossible to stand before the rain of fire. Three batteries were opposed to the enemy's artillery; these three batteries were dis organised in less than ten minutes, and withdrawn. The cavalry were ordered tothe centre of the wood,and the infantry could hardly maintain its position. Soon, even General Douay was convinced that it was impossible to hold it longer ; the whole Prussian artillery having con c( ntrated its fire on the plateau covered by the projectiles• The General saw, too, that a retreat on the right to Illy would be impossible in presence of the large force which opposed him. The 12th corps, on the left wing, maintained its position with success. General Wimpffen, wishing to profit by the advantage gained by the 12th corps, to relieve the right by a vigorous offensive movement, and drive part of the enemy's army to the Meuse, reinforced General Le Brun by all ,that he could spare of the Ist and sth corps. The commander-in-chief hoped besides to assist this movement by cutting a passage in the direction of Carignan and marching on Montm4dy. Towards half past three he sent to the Emperor, then at Sedan, a letter in which he begged him to come and place himself in the midst of his troops, who would be proud to receive him. , The Emperor did not come, and General Wimpffen began the offensive movement, the 12th corps, under General Le Brun, attacking the enemy. Unfortunately the Ist and 7th corps, who remained on the plateau to form the rear guard, being vigorously attacked and driven back by a supe rior force, instead of following up the offensive movement of the 12th by passing between the entrenched camp and wood of Garenne, drew nearer to Sedan, and ended by pausing under the cannon of the citadel. Part even entered the town, whose gates they left open. The Com mander-in-Chief, whose staff then headed the troops which had not yet reached the place, flung himself upon the route of the 12th corps scaling the heights by the road of Givonne. This road was very difficult, progress being impeded by parks, hedges, &c., and the column took a road to the left, which led it to Belan: It was four o'clock. Perhaps General Le Brun's movement, well seconded, might have even yet succeeded, but at this moment an officer sent by the Emperor, brought to the Commander-in-Chief a letter, in which the Sovereign informed him that he had hoisted the white flag on the citadel of Sedan, and desired him to cease firing, and to enter into negotiations with the enemy. General Wimpffen positively refused this mission. The Emperor renewed his requett. The General refused again, and, instead of stopping his fire, he resolved on making a last effort. He went into the town to summon all the troops that were there. He hoped to bring them back to the field to sustain General Le Brun, pass over to the Prussian left wing, and open a passage to Montmedy. Unhappily, the troops were exhausted by fatigue, oppressed by dangers, worn out by three daye of march ing, fighting, and want of rations. Without considering the risks they incurred by collecting in a town which it was impossible to defend, and which the enemy com manded on all sides, the greater part of the men refused to leave the walls. Scarcely 2,000 replied to the appeal of the General and followed him. General Wimpffen put himself at their head, chased the enemy from Belau, and retook the village. Some Gerdes Mobiles and some brave inhabitants of Sedan joined the volunteers. This was the last act of the struggle. The General had not enough men to attempt the only possible retreat. As he could not reach the 12th corps towards six in the evening, he decided on returning to Sedan. The town was encum bered with cases, horses, carriages, men, wounded soldiers of all arms. Movement was scarcely possible. A serious attack on the part of the Prussians, or a few moments' bombardment, gild all would be lost. It was im possible to restore the morale of the troops, and what was worse, the general had the painful conviction that there were not sufficient provisions for more than one day, that the men had no more rations, and could not get them. The trains, at the first cannonade of the morning, had re treated to Mezieres. Things were in this state when the Emperor wrote himself to General to General Wimpffen, who had sent in his resignation, which he refused, and con jured him to keep the command. Fresh attempts were made to induce the general to negotiate with M. Moltke who was appointed by King William to discuss the capi tulation. It was easy for General Wimpffen to perceive from the first words of the Major-General of the Prussian Army that he knew perfectly well the fatal situation of the French. In fact, Count de Moltke, while rendering full, justice to the bravery of our troops, and while admit• tine that the 70,000 men of our four corps had to dee; with 250,000 adversaries, and that towards the close of the action a fresh Prussian army of 80,000 men came into line, declared that he must have guarantees, and exacted the surrender of the French as prisoners of war. General Wimpifen would not acceptjthese terms, and retired. He was warned the next morning that the town would be bombarded at nine o'clock, if by that time the convention was not drawn up and signed. At dawn on the 2nd of September the general summoned the commandants of the corps d'armse and the generals of division. A council of war was held. The resources of the place in provisions and munitions of war were stated, and the council unanimously declared it was impossible to do otherwise than treat with the enemy. At nine o'clock the Commander-in-Chief went to the head-quarters of Count Moltke and obtaine, some mitigations of the conditions proposed by the Prussian major-general. This convention, or rather capitulation, is known. En resume at the battle oJ Sedan 65,000 to 70,000 exhausted French fought against 250,000 Prussians ; they lost 15,000 to 20,000 men hors de combat ; and it is now certain that in the evenin g a f r e s h army arrived on their lines of retreat, completely enclosing the French troops, which were shut up in an undefensible place, commanded on all sides by the formidable artillery on the heights. It was with a broken hexrt that General Wimpffen, who had arrived at the close of a former failure to take the command, signed the fatal capitula- tion. Will not France, the army, the companions in arms of the brave and unfortunate general understand the dire necessity of bis position ? Will they not know how dis tasteful to him was this act, which it was impossible to avoid without causing the certain death of from 40,000 to 45,000 brave soldiers ? He hAstened himself to make known to General de Moltke that he did not intend to separate his own fate from those of his companions in arms," THE INVESTMENT OF PARIS. Regarding the investment of Paris a correspondent writes :—From Sedan it is announced that the Intention of the German commanders is to place the different corps of the German armies all round Paris at ten leagues distance from the town. The average diameter of Paris is four leagues. By adding to this the twice ten leagues left between Paris and the investin g arm i es an average 'diameter of twenty-four leagues, and a circumference of seventy-two leagues are obtained. Six corps d'arm4e being placed on this circumference, occupying each an average extent of two leagues, would be at a distance of about ten leagues from each other. This would not prevent good marching troops from being in constant communication nor would it prevent, the light cavalry of each corps from skirmishing every day through the half-distances of five leagues. The six corps could cut off all communications by the six principal railway lines, the Seine, the Oise, the Marne, and the canals, so that no large transports of any kind could arrive at Paris. According to what may now be called the Moltke system, every sortie would be en countered by two corps, the one against which it is directed, and the other nearest to this, either to the right or the left. The German corps would exhaust the re sources of the circle between them and Paris, and draw their provisions from the country outside their own line. The large number of towns and villages surrounding Paris would afford sufficient shelter for the besieging armies.— Pall Mall Gazette. THE RUSSIANS AND JULES FAVRE. The Journal of St. Petersburg, in the article on the 9th of September, already mentioned by telegraph, re ferred to the circular of Jules Favre as the event of the day. It points out that M. Jules Favre had disregarded the sug gestions of the Paris press with respect to the intervention of Europe, and explained the state of things with clear ness. With respect to the passage of the circular, in which M. Jules Favre says that the Government of the National Defence. will not yield an inch of French terri tory, nor a stone of its fortresses, the St. Petersburg Journal says that such a view of the question is a mistaken one. If the conclusion of peace be retarded for the sake of retaining intact some fortresses, those who followed such a course would themselves be liable to the imputation which M. Jules Favre had cast on the King of Prussia, and would bear before the world and before history a terrible respon sibility. It asks why the French Government does not of its own accord give up those fortresses which have been destroyed by the enemy's fire, and afford a proof of their desire to put an end to the military rivalry between the nations. The German nation did not interfere with the French people until they were mejiaced by them, and the two great nations should know no other rivalry than the glorious one of works of peace. Sacrifices must be made before any arrangement can 'be come to, and patriotism does not compel people to push their defence beyond certain limits. The possession of these fortresses has not preserved Paris from being exposed to a siege, and their maintenance should not be made a sine qua non. Germany will not be persuaded into making a peace without having received some durable testimony to the manner in which she#has carried on a war to which she was provoked, and which has cost her so dear. M. Jules Favre believes the honour of France to be concerned in his refusal to give anything up, but may not Germany fear that she may be accused of drawing back from the siege of Paris where all . the French troops are assembled, and look upon the peace proposed on such terms as a defiance in the same manner that M. Jules Favre looks upon the continuation of the war now that the Emperor is fallen as a defiance ? The circular concludes with the expression of a hope that the cause of right and justice may triumph; but the St Peters burgh Journal says that in the month of July it was not at all clearly shewn that the cause of right and justice was that which was sustained by the Imperial Govern ment and by France. In any case it is to be trusted that the influence of Europe will be exerted, and that a term will be put to the horrors of a war which has lasted lon enough already. AFFAIRS IN LYONS. Lyons appears at present to have a revolution within a revolution, and, having been the first city in France to pro claim the d6chdance, its citizens are apparently unwilling to acknowledge the control of the Provisional Government. The accounts which reach us from several different quarters agree in representing the state of things as most unsatisfactory, and even dangerous. The red flag still floats over the Hotel-de-Ville, and the coin , mittee which sits there assumes a degree of arbitrary power which creates some alarm in the town, especially in view of the fact that the commmunica tions with the capital are cut off. It is said that all the branches of the International are repairing to Lyons, where they receive arms from the municipality, and it is suggested that this has some connection with some mysterious red crosses, which mark sundry houses. The worst part of the story is that under this new Republic the police exercise inquisi torial functions, the arrests are continual, and on very slight pretexts, while respectable residents in the city have their persons and houses searched, on what grounds are not very apparent. The carriage of the Archbishop himself was stopped, and he was asked to get out that it might be searched, while the Jesuit Establishment in the Rue St. H6lbne was ransacked for arms and treasures, the vases of the sacristy were carried off, and the Jesuit Fathers themselves led to prison between two bayonets. No one can leave the town without going through formalities unknown before, and luggage is strictly scrutinised. The religious establishments seem to be especially the objects of suspicion, and a detach ment of National Guards were stationed at the African Mission. One of the young priests had just died, and the funeral was fixed for the Bth. The coffin was opened and searched to ascertain if arms or money were concealed. A group of cynics insulted the corpse and a voice cried, "Who knows whether he is not shamming death to cheat us ?" The friends and associates of the 'deceased who could not prevent this painful scene, prepared when it was over, to follow the coffin. They were roughly stopped and only the brother of the deceased was permitted after much entreaty to go. Two National Guards accom panied him to the cemetery, and hurried him back, leaving him scarcely time to say a De Pro fundis by his brother's grave. It is no wonder. Lyons is beginning to ask whence comes the authority of the committee. A formidable siege artillery has been sent to Toul and Paris. The principal German Cabinets are making preparations !or establishing a common Government and Parliament 'or all Germany. The Vienna Presse says that it was owing to the exer tions of Prince Metternich that the Ex-Empress Eugdnie was saved from the Tuileries. Herr you Twardowsky, who has acted as Secretary to the Prussian Embassy in England during the last two years, was killed by a rifle shot at Sedan, on the famous first of September. The Kreuz Zeitung states that, by order of the Minister of War, the French prisoners are to be supplied with white bread instead of the ammunition bread which is generally served out to the Prussian soldiers. It appears that the French cannot digest the black bread. A French paper has the following :—" The other Napoleon used to say that within 50 years Europe would be Republican or Cossack. He made a mistake. Thanks to his fatal influence, it will be Prussian, and that is worse." General Billard has, it is said, escaped from Sedan, where he was a prisoner. He passed through the Prussian army in the disguise of a peasant. He has been appointed to the command of Fort St. Denis, which General Le Flo entrusted to him on his arrival, and is likely to be ap pointed a general of a division. Some interest has been excited in the town of Lyons by the appearance of a mall in a breastplate of his own in vention, which is proof against side-arms and balls. This breastplate bore the traces of a ball from a Chassepot gun, which, fired at a distance of 80 metres, was not able to pierce it. The experiment was made by order of the Committee of the War. ,The eldest son of the Prussian War Minister, Bernhard von Roon, a captain in the Artillery of the Guard has died from his last severe wound. His brother, who was also wounded, is so nearly better as to be able to join his regiment again. A Berlin letter in the Cologne Gazette remarks that there will soon be 150,000 French prisoners in Germanf, whose maintenance will considerably increase the bill which France will have to pay. It is proposed to employ them in the construction of State railways and roads. At a Cabinet Council, held on the 9th inst., theßavarlan Government decided on taking the initiative in o penin . negotiations with Prussia respecting the accession of Bavaria to the North German Bund. • It is said that General Uhrich, at Strasburg, has sent en envoy to request permission for two officers to go to the Emperor at Wilhelmshohe, to know if he will g i ve per mission for the surrender of the city. He is a strong Imperialist. The German papers continue to speak of the Laon affa ir in tones of extreme bitterness. Their general tone seems to be that this terrible act will render all hope of Pea ce vain until the German f orces s it d own b e f ore P ar is. The" ,. final humiliation of the French is now an imperative necessity. A French paper says that the delay of the Prussians was caused by the skill of the French engineers, who hav e opened the sluice-gates of the canal of the Marne au Rhin , and drawn off the water. The enormous Krupp cannons, which the Prussian army is bringing up for the bombard ment, are thus momentarily left dry. A German paper cites the case of a woman at Berlin , whose husband was killed at Bezonville. This was the third time during six years that Count Bismarck's Pn he Y, of blood and iron has made h er a w id ow . H er first husban u was sent in 1864 against Denmark, and was killed before Duppel.

H a d they not been prevented by th e unan i maus l y expressed op i n i o n of German Austria, open s y m p a th y, if not act i ve ass i s tance, would have been given to France. The events on th e other side of the Rhine put an end to all their hopes of 3 "Revanche of Sadowa." The correspondent of the Manchester Guardian g i ves the report that an armistice for 15 days has been accepted by the King of Prussia, and that as soon as a despatch fro the Court of St. Petersburg shall have been received, an d which is expected to reach Paris in three days, it Will be made public. The Hessische Zeitung concurs with other sources of formation in giving a tolerably favourable account of th e Emperor at Wilhelmshohe. He is well, and is regularly to be seen taking walks with one or more of "his" generals, as the. German paper put it. 'iNlost intimate with him a re Prince Achille Murat andßeille,General of Division. Th e distinguished party are allowed a considerable radius In which it is as free as th e a i r t o wan d er, b 4 beyond whi ch it must not go. The guard, is not large, consisting of 001 three officers, a trumpeter, and thirty-one men. The Emperor's attend an t s are impressed with the same belie' as the majority of their countrymen, treachery, they sal' lost them their army. The weather at Wilhelmshohe has not been very good lately. The German papers are very hard upon the French in respect of attributing to them the most unbounded ign e. ranee and folly—perhaps justly enough. One of the writers in the Cologne Gazette says the people of Nancy believe that Napoleon sold their army for money.' T he King handed to Napoleon, at the famous interview wh en he 'surrendered and the two monarchs were closeted by themselves, the sum stipulated upon, namely,— eight "' millions sterling. Th e mone y was i n go ld , (!) an d it the firm impression that not only did King Willi ° " hand over " the sum, lout also that Napoleon carried the trifling weight away with him. A letter from Vendresse, near Sedan, in the Berli n papers, mentions that the chateau of Bellevue, where the Emperor had an interview with the Ring of Prussia, ( 1313 where he passed the night, contained two parts of 0 illustrated edition of the "Life of Omsar," including this chapter on " The Germans in Gaul." The EnWel brushed a tear f rom hi s c h ee k a f ter the King had le'" him. The inhabitants of Sedan assert that he was qu it ; invisible during his stay in that town, but he expose d himself the whole day during the battle and visited the batteries. The Marquis d'Andelarre has addressed the following letter to General Troche : —" Mon General, —Being 1)1 1 little accustomed to saluting the Powers th a t r i s e, and °' repeating when they fall the reproaches which I made t ° those who fell while they were standing, I ha , " delayed assuring you of my support in the diflienl ti and glorious work which you have undertaken' Neither the courage which you shewed nor the eloquent and patriotic circular of M.

Th e attack on the national sovereignty, made by the decree a dissolution, did not permit me to be satisfied. To-daY , when the Government of National Defence call the people to their aid, I do not hesitate a moment in saYinr' to you `However feeble my assistance, it is at your se t " vice, to conquer the two enemies you have to fight—the enemy first, and internal disorder second. Accept, & C ' -- MARQUIS A' ANDEL/RIM' The Patrie, in discussing the attitude of the Europea n Powers, says the Emperor of Russia has been strongly advised not to renew the experiments of Alexander I. a t the beginning of the century, but to let Europe fight out its quarrels, finding Russia's security in her s t r ong defe r ' sive position and in the development of her in terior forces by the arts of peace. Austria preserve° a silent and reserved attitude. In England, opi nions are divided in the Cabinet itself. Lord Gran ville, the Minister of the Court, ranges himself 00 the side of the Queen, whose blind sympathies fo r Prussia have long bon, known. Mr. Gladstone, on the contrary, sees, with his talent and his statesmanship, the real danger for England in an aggrandisement of Prussia and wishes for a marked interv en ti on i n f avou r 0 ' France. Mr. Gladstone evidently has the English nation in his favour, and perhaps our most effectual help may come from this direction. As for the United States they are altogether in favour of the Fronch Republic; bu t their geographical distance and political consideratio n° will not allow them to act strongly in our behalf. We must not in this respect be misled by false hopes. A New York paper says that some seven or eigh t Irish clubs are in course of organisation in different part:, numbering in the aggregate about 500 memb er s.
