RECEPTION OF THE NEWS OF VICTORY
AT COLOGNE.

CLOGNE,_Angust.s.

After what I had teen In this city I could scarcely believe
that the excitentent of the population could still be cm the
increase (writes the Correspondent of the Daily N etc.). And
3et when the result of the battle at Vimsaenburg became
known, the enthusiasm exhibite I by every inhabitant at
Cologne bordered on madness It was at shoot eight o'clock
in the eveting when a special edition of the KE,lnl.che Zr itung
announced the vic'on gained by German arms. E•ght o'clock

are not a newspaper reading people, so that from the
Kneipe " the humbler classes derive their political intel-
ligence.
+So at eight o'c'hck we sat in the garden of Johnens' es!ab-

danger inv,lved In the truth to the personal safety a f the
pretest disturber of the peace of Furore. How different are

PROCLAMATION OF THE FRENCH
MINISTRY.

The following proclamation, bigued by all the
French Mitdeters, was on Monday posted up through-
out Paris :

'' Frenchmen !—We have told you the whole truth; it is
now for you to fulfil your duty. Let one singe cry haue
iron the breasts of all—lrma one end of France to the oilier.
Let the wh,.le people rise, quivering, and sworn to fight the
great tight. Some of our regimenta have succumbed before
over* he luting numbers, but our army has not been
vanquished. The same Intrepid breath still ani-
mates It ; let us wpm rt It. To a momentarily Inc-
cent ul audacity we will ro pose a union which con-
quers destiny Let us fall back upon ourselves, and our in-
vaders shall hurl themselves atsiust a rampart of human
la east s. As in 1792 and at Sebutopol, let our reverses be the
school of cur vi -tones. It would be a crime to doubt for an
/natant the safety our country, and a greater still hot do
on? part to secure It. Up, then, up ' And you inhabitants of
the Cant re, the North, slid the South. ui,ul whom the bur.
den of the war does not fall, hasten with unanimous entliu-
itL•llll to the help of your brethren in the East. Let France,

THE WORKING CLASSES AND THE
WAS.

An address relating to the present war has been pre-
pared by the Workman's Peace Committee, for circu-
lation among the working.men of Great Britain and
Ireland. The cemmittee invite their fellow working.
men to join them in—
- - -

"Protesting against the war between France and Prussia as
a great and horrible crime on the part of Christian nations at
this period of the world's history, and a wanton infliction of
misery and ruin without any adequate cause or the possibility
of any beneficial result."
-

The working men of France and of Germany are,
the committee remark, equally their brethren. The
occupation by a foreign army either of Paris or Berlin
is deprecated as storing up deadly national animosities
for the future, and arbitration is strongly insisted upon
as the proper mode of putting an end to the present
struggle. The committee observe that it should be the
firm and unanimous resolve of those to whom they
appeal not to allow England to be drawn into the war
on any pretext whatever, adding in conclusion :
. .

-
eWe are abundantly able to repel Invasion, should any
Power be wtcked or foolish enough to attempt ii; what we
claim and demand—what we would implore the peoples of
Surope to do, without regard to courts, cabinets, or dy nestle.,
Is to insist on arbitration as a substitute I ,r war, with p-ace
ant its blessings for them, for us, for the whole civilised
world."

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY see PAT.I.9.—The fol-
lowing declaration has been signed by 17 deputies,
members of the Left, including Messrs. Jules Favre,
flibvy, and Picard :—Tho undersigned deputies have
met at the Palais du Corps I.6gielatiff. They demand
the immediate arming of all the citizens of Paris. In
the existing circumstances all France should be armed
and upstanding." The editors of the six ultra-Demo-
cratic journals of Paris subscribe and publish the fol-
lowing :—" France is invaded. The Democratic Press
of Paris demands the immediate arming of all the
citizens, the formation of • Defence Committee, com-
posedin the first instance of the Deputies of Paris.

SCENES IN PARIS.

L'Artnir National of Tuesday oight gives the follow.

lug p•rtictilao •
The Corps Legis:Latif met at twelve o'clock, and at three
acleek hi koratry este,: that the same measures should be
taken against Napoleon 111. as were adopted against Napoleon
I. in 1815, upon which he was called to order. The majority
oemanded that the discussion should be closed, and the de.
putles retired to their bureau. While this wu taking place in
the Corps Le thilatif, events of the gravest Importance were
Lemening outside. A vast crowd had assembled outside.
The officers commanding the tr °opts summoned them to dis-
perse, and immediately bodies of casaba were ordered to
charge the people. The crowd answered with tow) shouts of
•To arm a!" TO arms !' Arrests were made, and the cavalry
continued then to charge.
"The Infantry of the Marine march up awl occupy the
quay in front of the Corps Ugislatif La I'lace de Bourgogne
red the adjaceut streets are also filled with troops. Fresh
charges of dragoon. are made to clear the rues leading to
the Palate. The Salle des Pas Perdu,'" likewise cleared by
the troops. The Tuileries is closed. The courtyard of the
Tuileries is occupied by Lancers and Dragoons mounted and
ready to act."

THE NATIONAL GUARD REFUSE TO ACT.
L'Opinion Nationale of Tuesday night publishes the
following :

"The crowd Is Ounmoned to disperse. Several of the
GArde Nationale at the Dion:tent they receive the order to
advance, throw up their raler, and leave the barracks.
Others remain in barracks, but do not m3ve their arms.
Charges of Dragoons and of the Garde klunicipale are made
to clear the vicinity ef the Pala's."
"2.30 p.m.—ltarechal Baraguey d'llilliers arrives, enema.
panted by his aidee-de.camp. He orders • new disposition of
the troop.. Charges recommence. We hear the drums and
bugles on all sides. Consternation Is general. Inside the
Corps

No MARTYRDOM FOR NAPOLEON !

There is, however, no prospect of martyrdom and deifica-
tion for a dynasty that wins stage-battles between a late
breakfast and dinner, baptizes its little Prince in stage-lire,
dedicatts wax-tapers to the goddess of victories, and then
sends the littie Prince home to be out of tho way of real
battles. . . The fifteenth of August, the Fke of St.

THE GALLANT LANCE&

" I saw a Timer ride across the bridge (at Saarbruck) evi-
dently with the intention of seeing if there were any Mall-
Mum in the vicinity of its tnirance ; he had got about bait
way, when three shots were fired at him which brought hi,
home down, Riving the man • bed fall ; he got up, shook his
fist at the French, and was going back to his comrades,
when a French officer rushed out and tried to maim • pri-
soner of blot The lancer allowed him to come within five
yards; then, Ilrawing a pistol from the holster of hi. saddle,
he shot him dead. ur French soldiers then rivihed Out,
but acme men of the poured in a volley, killing two and
wounding one. During this deerskin in hie favour, the
lancer made god his escape. I was standing behind a but-
tress of the bridge during this little eplaode, and I could not
restrain the desire to shake the loiter by the hand. The
Frem.h, enraged at the loss of the °Meer and the two men,
commenced tiring across the bridge. A bullet went through
the top of my witicawate, taking it off my head, anti making
me In at • somewhat hasty retreat with my Wend the lancer."
—C rrespondent of Daily Telegraph.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1870-08-13

may have been on each side shut 100,000 men
engaged. The Crown Prince telegraphed on the
evening of the same day that the French were
totally defeated; that 4,000 prisoners, 30 can-
nons, silt mitritigensea. unit tw • eagles hail been
raptured ; that General Bose was nvotu, ded ; and
that the losses on both sides were heavy. Sub-
sequently we learnt that among the prisoners
were 100 officers; that General Franeois" fell(
that the Prussian loss was great, especially in
officers ; and that the French "left many !I,fici."
From further accounts it appears that the hag.
gage and ematepipents of two French ilivisitom
wc:e captured ; that 'Marshal MaeMahon is said
I to he wounded, and that Geners! Frosssird't
di \ isions were nearly crushed. As usual the
telegrams relating to the affair were conflicting,
hut of one thing there can be no doubt—that it
WNS a disastrous defeat fir the French. The
Emperor himself tetegraphed from Metz, " Mar-
shal MileMalion has lost a battle. General
Frossard oil the S.sir has been compelled to fall
hack." It must be borne in mind that the Prus-
sians had previously captured Weisseuturg, and
the battle of Woerth, or Iluguisoau, as some ac-
counts speak of it (the places are but seven
miles apart) was a continuation if success for
the Prussians ; and when we consider that four
French army corps suffered a greater or less de-
feat, it will be easily seen that up to that time
the campaign had gone seriou.tly against the im-
peeial forces. The Empress, in her proclaim
tion, acknowledges this much. She says. "The
' opening of the war has not been in our favour.
Our arias have suffered a cheek." And a seri•
ous check it is. In a French official despatch
from Metz, the day after the battle, it is states
.• The trial is a serious one, but it is not beyond
the efforts of the patriotism of the nation. It
it not possible to estimate the number of oil
losses.- There is more in the latter phrase than
at first meets the eye. It suggests other losses
than the killed and moulded, the prisoners ant
the calinen ; it pOiStS to immense sacriti-es that
France will have to make. Already arrange-
ments are made for calling not able-ffodied citi-
zens between thirty and forty for the 'hitional
tlnard. all citizens under thirty for the Garde
Mobile, while—ominous provision—to the Na-
tional Guard of Paris is defined the defence of
the city and the repair of its fortification::
!.iuch desperate efforts as these, taken in con-
junction with the heavy losses which the French
have suffered, show that the Emperor is deter-
mined that tile ear shall toe "long and arduous,"
as he fornierly said, rather than France shag
succumb But he has clan,-..rs at let nit' PS We!

It with an assiduous zeal for which one of his late Ministers
compliments him in the nanie if the Senate; he contrives

either leaving his strongholds undefended or public

THE "LITTLE DEATH BELL"

A thistly th ugh very practical little order has been pub
fished to the Pro,lan army. Every man of the regiments
ordered into the tight hut to wear round oh neck, underneath
bin clothes, a ti fact with a umutur corresponding to the one
st sliding against iliG name in the lists, in order that this
might be ascertained in case of death, without delay; while
the officers are furniahed with diaries containing their desig-
nations in li,nch H. well I. German TilellOitlitlls have al.
realy found a name of their own for the above appendage.
They call it the little death bell. It Is indeed astonishing
how quickly the army, high and low, have developed a special
slang. To k rye got inki good quarters Is called to have gone
" by first special'," the reverse "fourth-clan smoking car-
riage," and no forth. Few things, indeed, are called by their
Okla names, and U the humour of all this be small it keeps
he men alive.
