THE EXPORT OF ARMS FROM THE UNITED

STATES.

BERLIN, January 20 (2 p.m.)
The NOrddeutsche Zeitung of to-day states, with
regard to the export of arms from the United States,
that, according to section 13 of the Treaty
concluded between Prussia and America on the 11th
of July, 1799, Prussian men-of-war are not allowed
to capture American vessels carrying contraband of
was to France. They may, however, lay an em-
bargo on it, and prevent them from continuing
their voyage while war is being carried on, or
they may take possession of the contraband of
war after giving a bond for future payment and
then release the vessels. The North German
Gazette presumes that the Prussian Navy will act
accordingly.

PRUSSIA AND HUNGARY.

A telegram from Pesth states that the Recruit-
ing Bill has been passed through the Lower House.
Herr George Shatimirowitz put the follow-
ing questions to the President of Minis-
ters :-1. Whether any and what influ-
ence the Hungarian Government had exercised
upon the recent Austro-Prussian rapprochement, and
what would be its real bearing? 2. Whether the
Hungarian Government intended, as early as possible,
to meet the dangers that would thus be incurred
by frustrating this alliance, which must neces-
sarily involve a development of German influ-
ence over Hungary and her neighbouring people ?
3. Whether the Government, it this rapprochenzem
cannot be avoided, would take such steps so that no
injury should result therefrom to the French people
in their fight for liberty, and that no unworthy pres-
sure should be exercised by Hungary on behalf of
Prussia upon the issue of the war ?

PRUSSIA AND THE CONFERENCE.

BERLIN, January 20 (6 p m.)

The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette of this evening
corrects the assertion of some newspapers, according
to which Count Bernstorff would withdraw from the
Conference if the representative of France, in case
of peace negotiations being debated, should have no
powers to agree to a cession of territory. The
Gazette announces that Count Bernstorff would not
in any way take part in a Conference at which the
Prusso-French question should be mooted.
The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette and the North
German Gazette confirm the statement that Count
Bernstorff has received instructions at once to with-
draw from the Conference in case the French ques-
tion should be entered upon.

THE DUKE OF MECKLENBURG'S

ADVANCE.
(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.)

The reported commencement of the march of the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg's army upon Rennis, by
way of Mayenne, has caused great excitement among
the inhabitants of that part of France ; and the
steamer Wonder, from St. Malo to Jersey, brought
over between fifty and sixty-persons who had evi-
dently made a most hurried flight. The number of
passengers arriving in Jersey from St. Malo and
Granville had been merely nominal till to-day.

SEIZURE OF ARMS AT VIENNA.

(REUTERS EXPRESS.)
VIENNA, January 15.

Yesterday morning at eleven a.m. a Commissary of
Police, accompanied by an officer of the staff, made their
appearance at the Western Railway Station, and demanded
of the officials to see the chests, 500 in number, which
had arrived from Steyr, and contained, according to the
invoice, portions of machinery. The two gentlemen were
conducted to the railway station at Penzing, where the
chests were stowed. They had been sent from the arms
factory at Steyr, and received from an Englishman, to be
forwarded to the railway station at Hetzendorf, thence to
be sent on to Italy. The commissary had the chests opened,
and it was then discovered that they contained Chasse-
pots fully made. They were confiscated to the number of
13,000.

" PUNCH " Iv PARIS.

The residents i❑ besieged Paris are by no means
overwhelmed or annihilated by the shot and shells
falling about their ears. If the assailants hoped to
bring about capitulation through terror they have
been grievously disappointed. What is the use of the
bombardment ? ask the Parisians. It serves no end,
beyond wanton destruction, and every man killed by
a shell-must have cost the Prussians more than his
weight in gold, reckoning the number of shells they
have fired. The moral effect is nil. Punch still
goes round in the threatened streets, and
children gather and laugh as of old. In one respect,
alas ! Punch is changed. Toby is no more.
A scene has been added to the old traditional
tragedy, and Toby has disappeared in a ragout or a
haricot. Some French Punches have a feline in-
stead of a canine attendant, but it is needless to add
Puss has fared no better than Toby, and the
Prussians can boast that if they have not put down
the French Charivari, they have at least modified
the character of the performance.
A PERILOUS VOYAGE.

Some aeronauts who left Paris last Monday had a
narrow escape of drowning. They quitted Paris in
charge of despatches at seven in the morning. As
they were starting they were told by the chief
aeronaut who arranged their departure that, from the
state of the atmosphere and the direction of the
wind he thought they would progress at the rate of
five leagues an hour. These calculations proved to
be incorrect, however, as in two hours' time they
passed over Brussels ; but, relying upon their infor-
mant, they pursued their course, thinking they were
still near Paris, and being fearful of falling into
the bands of the Germans. An hour later,
never dreaming of the speed with which they
were proceeding, they beheld the sea. They were then
at the height of 4,000 metres, but in the dangerous
position they were in they did not hesitate as to
what course they should pursue, and ripped up the
balloon. The descent was a fearful one. They passed
over the 4,000 metres in four minutes, struck the

THE CONFERENCE.

The Daily Telegraph states that the representa-
tives of the Powers assembled at the first meeting
signed a declaration touching the inviolability of
treaties. "By way of preliminary to the discussion
of Russia's grievances, the Plenipotentiaries have
agreed, on behalf of their respective Governments,
that no Power which has attached its signature
to a collective Treaty can release itself from
the obligations incurred without the consent

of its co-signataries. That Russia should have
accepted such a principle, after having apparently
acted in the teeth of it, is at once a tribute to the
wisdom of Lord Granville's diplomacy and a proof of
good faith on the part of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg." It is extraordinary, indeed, if Russia
has accepted such a principle. She can only have
done so on the full understanding that her demands
respecting the Black Sea would be granted, and thus
the whole proceeding partakes very much of the
character of a farce. To induce a Power to with-
draw an arbitrary request by a promise that the re-
quest shall be courteously conceded is
so absurd that it would have been
well if this protocol had been left
undeveloped. The formula that a treaty cannot be
broken at the will of any individual signatory Power
is merely a solemn statement that black is white.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF Rms.

The editor of the Havre Journal writes on the
subject of the Paris bombardment, and in the name
of humanity suggests a course of action to the
English nation which will reflect lasting credit upon
it. yHe thinks that this country, which holds the
first rank among civilised nations, should not permit
the Prussians to make war upon women and children,
the aged and the sick, and yet this is constantly
taking place. England should protest, if needs be, by
means of an active intervention against such a
scandal, which is a disgrace to Europe. At the
time of the bombardment Strasburg the little
Helvetian Republic sent a small deputation which
obtained permission for the women, children, and sick
and old persons to quit the city. The Havre
journalist thinks that England has a similar duty to
perform as regards. the population of Paris, and one
which will be quite distinct from assisting in the
defence. He urges that all nations have an equal
interest in opposing acts of barbarity which lower the
tone of political morality and interfere with the pro-
gress of justice and humanity.

BOURBAKI'S REPORT.

The accounts of Bourbaki's attack and repulse
.vary considerably. The following is his own account
received at Bordeaux, 18th :
"I ordered to-day a general attack on the
enemy from Montbeliard to Montvaudois, en-
deavouring at the same time to cross the Lisaine
at Liettencourt, Bussere, and Hericourt, and to
capture St. Valhert. I also gave orders that the
left wing should try to turn the enemy in order
t° facilitate the operation, but the troops which
were destined to make this movement were threat-
end by an attack on their flanks, and they were
Iged to maintain their positions. We had to con-
:" against considerable forces of the enemy,
supported by formidable artillery, and reinforced
f,.-
i'olll all sides. The enemy, in consequence of these
alreurahle conditions, the strength of the position
h
'ecupied, and the entrenchments he had erected,
;vas able to resist all our efforts, but suffered serious
Leases.
lath attack we made on 15th wasreneweci on the
4'l' and 17th, and if it has not produced the desired
effects We expected therefrom, in spite of the courage
: irayed by the troops, it has inspired our enemy
v
h respect, and he has deemed it prudent to remain
on the defensive.

tw,, ;id movement.

positions we occupied before the battle."

OUTRAGE IN IRELAND.

On Wednesday night a farmer named Davis, residing
near Foxford, County Mayo, was shot at through his bed-
room window after he had retired to rest. A number of
slugs lodged in his head, and he lies in a very critical

state. His wife was afraid to call in assistance until the
following morning, thinking that the perpetrators of the
outrage might effect an entrance into the house. Davis is
the bailiff of an estate in the neighbourhood.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF PARIS.

The special correspondent of the Daily News at the
headquarters of the Crown Prince of Saxony forwards
the following by special despatch :

LE VERT GALANT, January 17,

The chief tiring to-day was on the east, from the two
batteries between Pont Iblon and Dugny, although all
the others were moderately active. On the way here 1
saw one shot firedfrom Drancy, and several from La Bois-
siere. The guns in the new batteries, already vaguely
referred to, are in position. The complement of ammu-
nition is being rapidly filled up, and on the 19th it is
hoped that everything will be in full work. A trivial
attack was made last night on the German outpost
in the front of Rainey. The French came from Bondy,
which they must have occupied for the occasion,
as it is ordinarily deserted. At times to-day there were
symptoms that a sortie was meditated in the direction of
Avron, for which the Germans are ready. There is no
truth in the statement that the Germans are sapping up
towards Rosny and Nogent. The weather is fine, but the
roads are bad.

MARGENCY, January 19, (Morning.)

During yesterday the bombardment on the south-east
and north-eastern fronts continued with unabated, if not
increased,vigour. Drancy was wholly silent to-day ; Bois-
siere fired two or three shots; Aubervilliers was moderately
active ; the other forts were quite passive. You are not
to expect till the day after to-morrow any announcement
as to the northern complement of the bombarding circle.
The expectation of a sortie in front of Rainey had
ceased. Prince George of Saxony spent the night
here with his elder brother on his way from Versailles,
and proceeds this forenoon to Le- Vert Galant, where
General Narhof commanded during his short absence.
There has been unusually heavy musketry firing yester-
day and during the night in the neighbourhood of Argen-
teuile ; but, so far as I have learned, the St. Denis forts
have been quiet. There were great rejoicings and copious
libations of champagne all round the . front yesterday in
honour of the ceremony at Versailles. Several fires wore
observable inside Paris last night.

LONDON UNDER SIEGE.

It must be admitted that the " gentlemen of the pave-
ment " in Paris shew considerably ingenuity in their
shifts and devices. A letter from Paris which appears
the Independence Beige mentions that the asphalte of the
footways is being used as fuel in chocolate factories sod,
rice mills, &c. These footways exceed one thousand
kilometres in length, and would afford a supply of Ale'
for at least a year. Under similar circumstances '4ve
should probably burn our hack cabs first; our Blue-boolo '
next ; then "My Luds' minutes. We should then tri
the statues in Trafalgar-square and see if they were
flammable ; and then would come the question wheal°
we should use the paving of that square as fuel or 11
the "Reformers' Tree" in Hyde Park. We ow,
not meddle with either without seriously interferi"
with the comfort and convenience of demonstratiol
yet burning eloquence will not roast a joint d,
meat, and one or the other would have to be sacrifice r
In some other respects Paris is becoming reduced to ell
normal condition. We hear of lard being made fro
hnl
tallow, and butter compounded from the pomades in t'io3
perfumers' shops. The Parisians have not yet 0.4
butter from mud, like ourselves, but they are fast onto
to it : in the meantime the pomade probably has a th
unpleasant perfume than the questionable grease laid
which we plaister our adulterated bread.—Pall

THE COMING SESSION.

Reviewing Mr. Stansfeld's speech at Halifax, the Daily
Sews observes :—Mr. Stansfeld bids us e.43ect great things
of the Government in the present year. His programme
of their measures, should it be fully carried out, will make
a hardworking and fruitful session ; and we hope
the measures themselves will be such as will need
no apologising for to Liberal constituencies. A free
.vote by Ballot is one of the things Mr. Stansfeld
looks forward to, and it is one of those things which
the Government has only to ask and have. The whole
question of om Parliamentary Elections is ripe for legis
Lotion. The Marquis of Hartington's bill of last
year was scarcely adequate to the occasion. It
professed to deal with only a part of the whole question,
and even with that it dealt timidly. We have learned
much since them. An Elections Reform Bill must of
necessity be a more complete measure than that of last
year now we have had experience of the School Do and
Elections. The University Tests Bill is another of the
measures Mr. Stansfeld foreshadows. Mr. Gladstone
has been already urged to make the measure of
this year fuller than that of last year, by in-
cluding clerical fellowships in its provisions. A
Licensing Bill, and possibly a Supplementary Education.
Bill, are also named as among the measures of the year.
Though Mr. Stansfeld's speech must, of course, be
taken as the view of the most advanced Liberal in the
Administration rather than that of the Government
itself, we have no doubt that what he asked of the
Liberal party, is what the Government is prepared
to lead that party to accomplish, The war, and the
questions which arise out of it, will not absorb the whole
time of Parliament. It may be our privilege as a
neutral nation to, mediate between the combatants
and to nAke peace ; every effort in that direction.
will be made, and we hope may be made success-
fully but it is satisfact3ry to know that while attend
ing to the lousiness of our neighbours we shall not neglect,
our own.

LOUIS BLANC ON THE WAIL

The Times says : —M. Louis Blanc is, no doubt, an
excellent patriot; but his language is that of a reckless
gambler. - One stale being lest, he thinks all the rest
should follow. His letter to M. Victor Hugo proclaims war
without end. There arises, however, sonie doubt in our
mind as to the right M. Louis Mane may have thus to
dispose of his country's destiny. France, we may be told,
is all of one mind with M. Louis Blanc. She has risen
like one man ; she shrinks from no sacrifice ; there is not
one citizen in the country who is not as willing to give life
and substance for the cause as M. Louis Blanc him Self.
Is this so sure? The Times then referring to the age of
most of the French prisoners taken during the sorties says :
Had mere French lads of 16, after nine days' drill, and
without officers to lead them, been able to oveicome Von
Moltke's veterans, what nation would any longer have
been burdened with standing armies? Had M. Gambetta,
by merely stamping his foot on French soil, raised up
real soldiers, instead of impressing " men with muskets,"
there would have been an end for ever of the empire
of "brute force" in the world. But, alas ! we
knew only too well that war in our times is a
matter of science and discipline. Had even the mere
material elements for an army been forthcoming in France,
there was not that basis of order without which an arnw
"Ist become a mob. All social cohesion, all gov,Tumont
was at an end. France has nowhere a man; or, what comes
to the same thing, she had no faith in any of her men.
Yet M. Louis -Blanc thinks that France ought still to
fight; that she will fight':; that she is actually fighting. He
labours under a delusion. With so great a disproportion
of means to the end a nation cannot be said to fight-.
She would be merely attempting self-destruction.
And France is not really bent on suicide ; she is
dragged to the slaughter by men who refuse her a hear-
ing, and who claim the right of killing without consult-

hig her.
London, England, 1871-01-21

THE ORIGIN OF THE WAR.

Mr. Otway's explanation of the attitude assumed
by the Prussian Government just previously to the
declaration of war is very unfortunate indeed for
the rapidly decreasing body of German sympa-
thisers. The Hohenzollern candidature was
withdrawn by the father of the Prince without
instance from any quarter. The British Ministry
advised the Prussian Government to recom-

mend the withdrawal; but not only was this
advice not taken, but Count Bismarck declined
even to lay it before the King. Such a course was
not flattering to British statesmanship, nor did it
display any desire for peace. The declaration of
war by Napoleon was wrong all the same; but Count
Bismarck deserves credit for his share in the busi-
ness. He took care that no possible means of
retreat from a warlike policy should be allowed his
adversary. Indeed, there is the best reason for
thinking that the Prussian statesman, knowing how
advantageous to his design of German unity a
successful war would be, rather liked the prospect
of hostilities. At any rate between him and
Napoleon there was not a pin to choose.
Bo ITRB AKI'S ADVENTURE.

General Bourbaki's reports on the campaign in the
East are clear and candid, considering that he is the
losing party ; and they point to another serious
reverse for the French arms, It does not appear
that Bourbaki is suffering demoralising losses in the
shape of prisoners or gulls, or that his repulse is
crushing ; but he has failed, and hie failure at a time
when Chanzy has been beaten is a serious disaster.
The march to the East was not objectionable in itself,

HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON.

REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE CLULDREN
and CHICHESTER TRAINING SHlP.—Upwards of 500 Boys and
Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship..
Owing to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which
have for several months been made to aid the sick and Wounded
in the present War, the funds for the support of these Refuges
and Ship have decreased considerably.
An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support
the inmates.

£l5 will keep a boy or a girl for one year, and £1 ss. for a
month.

minster Bank, 214, High Holborn, WA., and 41, Lothbury,

Thi shook was so great that they were

They were informed by some fishermen who came to

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
A writer on the subject of Contagious Diseases
says that reports are frequently coming before the
public which chew the carelessness that prevails
with respect to the conveyance of those who

are afflicted with an infectious disease. They are '
constantly taken in cabs from place to place, and as
the hospitals are often full they are oblige 1 to return
whence they came, or start off in new quest of a shelter.
He asks very truly why some inquiry is not made
at the hospitals before the patients are sent there as
to their possibility of receiving a patient, or why
can not the telegraph be employed for such a pur-
pose. The other day a sick child was sent round by
Hampstead and Highgate, and as the hospitals at
both those places were full she was taken to the town
and left at a workhouse. Had due inquiries been
made she might have been spared the fatigue of six
hours' journeying, which must have aggravated her
illness. The subject is one which might well engage
the attention of the Poor Law Board. The Board of
Guardians of St. Pancras have conferred with Dr.
Bridges with respect to the prevalence of smallpox in
the metropolis. The Guardians agreed to erect a build-
ing for the reception of those cases which could not
be received by the hospital. It was also resolved
that the vaccination clerk should seek out and report
unvaccinated cases, as during last half year there had
been more than two thousand of the kind in the
parish in which the law was not complied with.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

The repertoire of the Italian Opera Buffa Company has
been exceptionally good during the present week, every
night having been occupied. On Monday last was per-
formed Donizetti's opera, " d'Amore," which was
repeated on Thursday last, with Mdlle. Colombo as
Adnia. This lady has, we are pleased to be able to state,
made a wonderfully favourable impression on the public;
her singing on Thursday last was really charming, and
throughout the performance drew forth loudly-expressed
marks of approbation. On Tuesday the new opera of
" Ali Baba," by Signor Bottesiui, was produced, and met
with marked success, so much so that it was repeated on
Wednesday, again last night, and is announced for
this evening; the singing of Mdlle. Calisto as Delia and
Faullo as Margiana being all that could be wished,
while the Ali Baba of Signor Borella was most efficiently
rendered. It is extremely gratifying to be able to note
the success that has attended the present venture in
Italian Opera Buffa, and with the resources at the com-
mand of the directors, we hope to see many novelties
produced ere the season closes.

It s understood that though the Queen will open
Parliament in person it will be only in semi-State.
