A TREASURE TROVE.

A curious and somewhat irregular contribution to the exi-
gencies of the war has just been made by certain adventurous
gentlemen at Torgau, on the Elbe. It appears there was a
tradition in that neighbourbani that In 10135 French detach-
ment, while retreating before the Prussians, h ,e 1 sunk its
money chest in the river. lite story had long dwindled
down to the uncertain outlines of a mere legends; y tale, and
Wise garded as one of the many int*resting anecdotes with
which imagination has enlivened the history of those nif..mor-
aide times. Somehow or other, however, some Torgauers,
reminded of it by current events, determined to institure
search, which, wontierftV to relate, resulted in the discovery
of the trea.ure trove. The whole of the money, amounting
to several thousand Milers, has been handed over to the
Government, and will now (withal ammunition against the

that the "Drayton Arms ' publichonse has be en much

or two when they were in n •ed of a loan, which
at the elute of the week he ale° collected, charging

a mail amount of interest. This system has gone

PATRIOTIC SONGS.

;From " Ernst Mortis Arndt," In the Edtatirgh Review )
A song is but a small thing, but it may be the elec•
tric spark which fires the most destructive agents. It
excites, it transmits, it kindles those sentiments which
inflame the passions of nations; and it may be said
with truth hereafter that a couple of gongs have con•
trihuted more than any practical canes or real political
necessity to the contllct which is now afflicting the
world. A national song, such as is wanted, appearing
when it is wanted, expressing one national idea,
whether it be suffering, the hope, or the courage of a
nation, though its metre be rugged, and its words be
homely, comes from the heart, speaks to the heart,
and stirs the Wood of men. Such were the waYsongs
of Arndt— plain and simple always—rud.• and rough
enough at time,; but songs, notwithstanding, which
put before men a mighty purpose in a manly way,
making those who heard and sang them feel more than
ever the dignity of their manhood, the value of their
freedom, and the privilege of their self•sacrifice. They
were, as we have said, full of hatred. But there are
two geese@ in which to take the word. Such a feeling
was essential to the deliverance of Germany in 1813 ;
euch a feeling, taken in conjunction with the other
feelings manifest throughout his writings, and in his
simple unaffected noble nature, chew him to. have been
• poet according to the grand definition of the greatest
poet among ourselves :

"Dowered with the hate of hate, the acorn of Buda,
The love of love."
It could not be otherwiee with a man who, like Arndt,
was thoroughly in earnest; and ungneationably it was
the cello which his glowing rongs awakened in hearta
of men who hated slavery, that made thaw songs at
mighty in the appropriate moments they were uttered,
HO mighty in forming the mind of the free Germans of
to-day, and CO 'mighty in raising the courage and
stirring the heart of the men who have eung them
once more, in this awful year, by their watch-lires in
Champagne and beneath the walls of Paris,.

THE FRENCH PRISONERS IN PRUSSIA.

A correapondent writes to us (Pall Mall Gazette) as
follows : "cannot you rouse English sympathy for the poor
French prisoners in Germany, who are starving wholesale,
who have no clothing, and who are dying daily of inanition
for want of the most common necessaries of life? Of course
the Prussians say that they must look after their own first ;
but have they the right to take prisoners If they cannot give
theta the least sustenance, suffering them to die a vile death
of hunger, misery, and disease? Typhoid and typhus fever
are rife In many ueighboarhooels. The French have not the
most commonplace necessaries of life, no clothing, and in
many places very little, if any, foo 1.... The officers are
far worse, more especially in the neighbourhood of &fort.
They are only allowed LUf. a mouth for subsistence and
everything. i'oor wretches, they are dying fast.... What
I tell you is really and only too true, and drawn very mildly.
In a few days you will probably hear more I have saeu
letters which are heartrending and naura,it to read from
unbiassed and Independent persona on the spot."

A STRANGE STORY.

The Union de to Sarthe publishes an extraordinary it dry,
told by a person whose veracity It profeues to guarantee,
about • narrow escape of King William. Count Bismarck, and
General von Moltke from being shot by Francs-Tireurs.
According to this narration these au,sust personages accom-
panied by three or four German princes and an escort of
lancers, left Versailles on the afternoon of the 10th or 11th
inet , to inspect the formidable Pruulan works erected at
the Chateau de Beauregard. Besides those who were
mounted, there were three carriages, from which, on arriv-
ing at the hollow of Bengival, all the occupants except two
alighted. Same sixty Francs-tiretirs were in ambush in the
woods of La Cate St. Cloud, and these tired at the carriages
as loon as they came near. The Kings was first, and
was riddled, but it was empty. In the second was • prince
of the holm of Hohenzollern or Nassau, who was shot, and
died the next day, big body being sent to the other side of
the Rhine In a leaden coffin : in the third carriage another
prince was that through the leg, which hae since been
amputated. The narrator avers that he and many of the
Inhabitants at Versailles were present when the prince got
out of his carriage, dragging his leg bleeding and ban.
daged, and saw him carried on a mattress to his quarters.
Half a dozen or ma of the horsemen were unhorsed or killed,
but not • gun was pointed at either the K lug, the Count, or
von Moltke. The King, however, was terribly scared. His
horses galloped away at such • tremendous pace that the
escort could not keep up with them, and his Majesty had a
fainting tit on reaching Versailles.

GENERAL BOYER'S EXPLANATION.

General Boyer has sent the following letter to the
Inde'pendanee Bettye:—

" The noise made about me for some days, and the inter-
pretation. of all kind, given to the mission with which I was
charged would not have compelled me to abandon the re.
serve imposed upon me by circumstance,. I have not contra-
dicted the reports ; I have not corrected the interpretations.
But I have been reading for two days in all the public print.
appeals to the honour and patriotism of France, to which
are appended anathemas hurled against Marshal &neine and
the commanders of the Army of the Rhine. Abusive and
violent attacks are the only arguments which M. Gambetta
has at his disposal. Ile makes a large use of these oratorical
weapons. No doubt he will deceive • few simple er timorous
persons, who will pass over to the army of the exaftes.
More moderate than he, I will routine myself to a protest
against his unqualified violence, and in the name of the
whole army of the Rhine, from which I received the mission
which took me to Versailles and London, and in the name
of its glortOUß leader, I declare that M. Gambetta offends
the public conscience, as much a. our brave soldiers, in
speaking of Infamy and rascalitlee We did not capitulate
with honour or with duty, we capitulated with hunger.—l

PARIS FASHIONS BY BALLOON POST!

The Tribune de Bordeaux publishes a letter on the
&Ilion' of the season at Paris. It begins as follows
I send you my letter on the fashion, by balloon post, I
hope it will reach you, and that in spite of William and hie
Innumerable and disgraceful escort the heroic city of Paris
will not cease to dictate to the whole world the supreme
laws of elegance and good taste. Some alight change. have
peen introduced Into the present fashions. There Is especially
a perceptible chanee in the mode of dressing the hair.
Taking advantage of the flight of certain personages who had
gray, thin, or red hair, and who inflicted on fashion their
Indispensable false hair, our Parisian ladles have at once res-
tore I to liberty their own locks, so lone hid under the des-
potic, artificial chignon. Brown plaits, carefully smoothed
down, light ringlets, at once graceful and natural, have
alone adorned for some days the delicate and pretty heads
of our young ladles, who are delighted to have their most
beautiful adornment restored to them." The writer then
proceeds to describe at great length the costumes of the
season, stating, among other thing., that miens, ruches, and
tendllonnes begin to disappear, with toumure A la Pom-
padour and lopes euperpostes la Marie Antoinette. Quiet
colours are in favour, and there is great sobriety In the use
of Jewels. "This," says the writer in conclusion, "Is a kind
of delicate homage rendered to the mourning and grief of
the mothers, the wives the sistere, and the orphans who
have now to deplore the loss of those dear to them who have
fallen victims to the cruel vanity of the tyrants of France
and Prussia."

THE PLACE•HUNTIN6 MANIA.

The Libertt nye that the place-hurting mania away. has
been, and ever will be, in French blood. It add. as • proof
tki• following pars,raph frvm the Ojleiel Journal: -"The
newspapers Inserted some daye ago a notice from the Go-
vernment. In which the numerous persons who desire to see
M. Gembetta were requested not to continue their applica-
tions, as he is overwhelmed with work In his triple capacity
of member of the Government, Minister of War, and
Minister of the Interior. In spite of this preening advice
the doors of the Prefecture are always beset with, crowd of
applicant., who come not to offer their assistance in or.
ganizlng the national defence, which would Notify their
persistency ; but, on the contrary, impudently to solicit
places, tumours, and employment. It is time that such
things are brought to an end. Patriotism, however little it
may be developed, ought to make It underatood that at this
moment there can be no question about anything but organi-
zation and the national defence, that France indispenasbly.
requires soldiers, and can In the meantime dispense with
Sub-peelects."

TERMS OF PEACE.

Now that the question of the payment of an indem-
nity by France at the end of the war is likely to become
a matter of discussion, it may interest your readers
(writes a correspondent) to know what France had
to pay at the order of the Allied Powers after 1813.
The payments were under three heads--namely, the
indemnity proper, the cost of the Army of Occupation,
and the claims of foreigners who had been despoiled or
injured by the French Revolutionary Government.
These sums were assessed as follows :

. .

1 Indemnity to Allied Powers 700000,000

Our equipment consists of a chassepot with a sabre-bayonet,
and 124 cartridges. Only it small portion of the legion has
been found worthy of remaining here; the rest have bean

the approaching movements of the enemy. 1 have Owen too

IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT THE POLICE

STATION.

Al the Police Court, on Monday, before Ma.
jor Fletcher, a man who gave his name as John
Junes, of Romsey, in Essex, was charged with
entering the Police-station on the previous
Tuesday, and stealing a cloth coat, a waterproof
eoat, two albums, and a key, the property of
Superintendent William Freeman.
_ _ •

On the charge being read over, prisoner
pleaded guilty.
Sergeant Hudson, Wordsley Police Station,
said on the previous Saturday evening the pri-
soner clime to the Police-station and said he had
committed a robbery at Stourbridi.Te, and if he
did not lock him up he should do fioluetli iug
worse. Witness then asked him what he had
done. Prisoner said that he was wandering
about the street, when he noticed that one of the
windows at Mr Freeman's house was a little
open. He at once got in and made himself com-
fortable till morning, when he got up and re-
galed himself on some tart and seed cake. He
tlien left the Police-station by a side door, tak.
Lig with him two albums, with photographs in,
a cloth coat, a waterproof coat, and EI key. Pri-
soner gave up the albums and key. Witness
Biked him what he had done with the coats.
Prisoner said he met a man on the Broongrove•
road and sold them to him for 5s and some to-
bacco.

Superintendent Freeman proved that the two
albums and key produced were his property.
lie did not miss them, but had missed his water-
proof coat, and thought someone had moved it
for a joke. He did not deem of being robbed,
and recollected leaving the window slightly
open, there being as cecape of gas. He had en-
deavoured to trace the coat, but np to the pre-
sent time he had not heard anything about it
His name was upon it, end the person who had
got it, must know whose it was. He asked the
Bench to remand prisoner until' Friday.
Prisoner was brought up yesterday, before
Major Fletcher awl It. L. Freer, Esq.
Mr. Freeman said lie had not been able to
trace the coat.

Prisoner pleaded guilty, mid was sentenced to
three months imprisonment.
