READING GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

It is expected that the arrangements for the opening of
the Reading Grammar School, and the anticipated vieit
of her Majesty the Queen, will be fully discussed at a
dinner, given by the High Steward of Reading, to the
members of the Corporation of that town to-day.

The Empress Eugenie has returned to Chisle-
burst. The Empress and the Prince Imperial attended
mass at the Roman Catholic Church of Chislehurst yesthr-
day. Both appeared to be in excellent health.
TRAMWAYS.—The Tramway Company i 8 beginning
a competition with the railway and omnibus proprietors
in favour of the working classes. There is to be hence-
forth a daily service of " workmen's carriages " from
Brixton and the Westminster-road—three miles for one
penny.

BELGIUM. A correspondent writes :—" The
Belgian Chambers will be opened next week without a
speech from the Throne. The Belgian regments of in-
fantry are reduced to 1,950 men, so that the class of 1866
may be sent to their homes. A committee has been
appointed to seek out in what way the bread furnished to
the troops can be improved."

Recruits being at present required for the Royal
Artillery, the Secretary for War will (says the Broad
Arrow) be prepared to grant free releases to any men be-
longing to the Militia Artillery Reaerve, who may, with
the consent of their commanding officers, volunteer and
be attested and approved gunners.
OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.—Two men have been
arrested in the county Westmeath on the charge of
attempting to murder Mr. Fox, who was fired at near
Clara, in the King's county, on Sunday last.—A young
man natked Mackey, in the prime of life, is likely to die
from the blow of a stone received in a faction quarrel.
He was at Newport fair, and met people named Ryan ;
atones were used, and one struck Mackey's forehead.
Several persons are arrested.

THE REPRESENTATION OF NEWPORT.

It is announced that Mr. William N. Massey, late
Finance Minister of India, will come forward as a
Liberal candidate for Newport, Isle of Wight.

TESTIMONIAL TO A CONSERVATIVE
LEADER.

Mr. G. Thoyts, chairman of the Berks county magis;
trates, and for many years chairman of the Conservative
Committee of Reading, has been presented with a life-
size portrait of himself, by Mr. Horsley. The presenta-
tion was made in return for valuable services rendered
to the Conservative party during the past few years.
The presentation, at the request of Mr. Thoyts, was made
without any ostentation, at the Great Western Hotel
Reading ; and among those present were Mr. Richard
Benyon, M.P., Sir Charles Russell, Viscount Barrington,
and a number of the gentry of the county. In the course
of the speeches which followed, which were eulogistic, a
hope was expressed that Sir Charles Russell, who was at
one time the third Conservative member, might be soon
replaced in that position in Berkshire.

AN ARMISTICE PROPOSED.

M. Thiers arrived on the same day, and it was soon
known that he came with proposals for an armistice.
It soon became known also that the Government was
favourable to the plan, and desired to promote it. Thepublic
received the intelligence with mingled feelings. The
bourgeoisie were obviously glad. They have had well
nigh enough of the war. Incessant drilling and mount-
ing guard Upon the ramparts these cold wet nights is not
lively employment in the eyes of shopkeepers, particu-
larly when a great falling off or almost total cessation of
business is added to other discomforts. The
working men, however, were furious at the
thought of an armistice. So were other portions of the
community, who are really prepared to undergo sacrifices
rather than submit to the humiliating peace which it is
known Count Bismarck means to impose upon France.
The Gazette de France supported the Government
in its disposition to accept the armistice. It be-
ieves that the Gerinans will offer no conditions
which France can regard as endurable ; but it holds that
the armistice should be agreed to, in order that the respon-
sibility of continuing the war should be left to the
National Assembly. The article mentions important
facts which should be given :--" The treaty of peace
which the Constituent Assembly shall be called
to ratify will involve disarmament, the pledge to
maintain on foot only an army of a determi-
nate strength, a considerable money indemnity, the

abandonment definitively of the war material which has
already fallen into the hands of the enemy, and
finally—bitter draught !—the cession. of Lorraine and
Alsace, which are to be joined to the Palatinate of Ba-
varia, and to form a neutral State like that of Belgium,
incorporated between France and Germany. As for
Prussia, she will reserve to herself only the right to
acquire for ready money from the King of Holland the
Grand Duchy of Luxemburg ; for she will not permit
the situation of a neutral State to prevent her from
having a door open upon France. We are convinced that
the Assembly of Representatives of the country, if that
Assembly be elected freely and really represents to the
country, will never consent to place its signature at the
foot of such a treaty. And yet—we say it with death in
our soul—the duty of the Government of the Hotel de
Ville is to accept the armistice which is proposed to it, to
bear the test that is imposed. It has not the right to
refuse ; the-responsibility of the resolutions which must
be taken, let them be what they may, is too great for
that Government to assume. It is for the nation to
deliberate, to decide, to pronounce. If the nation recog-.
nise that there is no possibility of protracting the resist-
ance, it will be necessary that we should bend, with rage
in our hearts, until the hour shall strike for revenge—
that we should bend under the Caudine Forks of
King William. But if, as we hope, France decides
that she must conquer or die, then it is herself who
will take in hand her own destinies, and her salvation
will be sure."

MURDER IN WEST CORNWALL.

A murder was committed on Friday night at Redruth.
A miner, named Rickard, had an altercation with some
other miners, at a public house in that town. After
leaving the house he was stabbed so severely in the hip
that he died within ten minutes of receiving the injury.
Two miners, named Hoskins and Allen, are in custody
charged with the murder, •

BETTING HOUSES IN LONDON.

The Saturday Review inclines to the belief that
the members of Tattersall's subscription room may
find some difficulty in defending their club against a
similar prosecution to that undertaken in the case of
the Knightsbridge Exchange, assuming that the
evidence of the police officers who visited the latter
society was sufficient to bring its operations within
the law. If the Home Office is determined to
suppress all houses of resort for betting,
it will puzzle the ingenuity even of Mr. Bruce to shew
hat there is any difference between Tattersall's and
the Exchange, except in the wealth and position of
the persons who respectively frequent them. The
Review suggests that there is a clear dissimilarity
between what are known as betting houses or list
houses, and the establishments in question. Formerly

London was overrun with the former, and -open
shops were kept where a man might enter and back
a horse for a race as easily as he might buy a cigar.
The Legislature thought this aniunquestionable evil,
and interposed to. remedy it by an Act of Parlia-
ment. This Act, however, though removing the
small betting shops from the metropolis, did
not declare betting to be illegal, and an asso-
ciation of persons for the purpose of carry-
ing on betting transactions would under
the present law seem to be allowable. Attempts
have been made by magisterial interpretation, with
some success, to extend the provisions of the law,
but as it stands pur et simple, and it. the enlarged
construction is not to prevail, neither Tattersall's
nor the Exchange could, it would appear, be legiti-
mately proceeded against. It would be desirable,
the Saturday Review considers, that the questions on
this subject, which have heretofore been brought
before a magistrate, should be placed before a court
of law for consideration. It also expresses an opinion
that Parliament would not be averse to necessary
alterations for the final settlement of the points in
dispute.

A RESTORATION.

And so the Government was deposed. It was soon set
on its legs again, however. The National Guards
managed to get the people out of the Hotel'de Ville, but
they did not do their guarding very well, for General
Trochu slipped out and reached his hotel, under escort of
some provincial Mobile Guards. The struggle for
supremacy went on all night. The Revolutionists named a
commission of twenty members, of whom ten set off to the
various forts, whilst ten others remained to enact divers
revolutionary deeds. They issued a proclamation, declaring
that the armistice wasrefused, the Government of Defence
dissolved, and that the election to the Commune would take
place within 48 hours. Both sides mustered their forces.
Two battalions of National Guards, from the choicest
region of Belleville, mustered round the Hotel de Ville
in the interest of the new "rulers," whilst 2,000
Mobiles encamped round the hotel of Trochu. Any odds
on the Mobiles. The provincials are far superior in every
respect to tho S4dentaire battalions of Paris, and there
could be little doubt that if it came to blows, the Belle-
ville hordes would find themselves unequal in skill, though
not in courage, to the Mobiles. But Trochu, when once
he had got at liberty, meant to settle the question with-
out blows. The appeal to arms beat in all quarters, and

armed men, and the frightened crowd poured in all direc-
tions through the fearful storm of rain. More Mobiles
were gathered, and regular troops came in from without
the enceinte. It was all up with the revolution. No force
that Flourens could command would avail against such an
array. The Revolutionary Government ruled with great
ability and vigour until nearly midnight, when the Re-
publican Ministry again ascended the throne. M
Jules Ferry had the honour of settling the whole
affair. Soon after ten o'clock the square was full of
troops, who had declared for Trochu, and Ferry, trusting
in these, presented himself at the gate of the Hotel de
Ville, and demanded admission in the name of the Repub-
lic. He did not get in at first, but attempts were made to
force the gate, and it appears they ultimately succeeded.
T cannot yet learn in what manner the affair ended,
but the collection of troops on behalf of the
Republic was so great that the revolutionary
forces gradually melted away before them, leaving the field
clear. As for Flourens, nobody knows what has become
of him. This morning the Government are again in full
possession, and everything is tolerably quiet, though much
excitement prevails. The Ministry have taken energetic
measures to prevent a repetition of thew scenes. No
blood has been shed.

THE LORD MAYOR'S PROCESSION.

The lintertainmeut Committee of the Corporation have
issued the programme of the procession that is to take
place on Lord Mayor's Day. Alderman Dakin, the Lord
Mayor elect, has been in communication with the com-
mittee, and he has expressed a desire that, while a proper
and befitting amount of show and ceremony should be carried
out, the public convenience should be fully considered, and
the traffic of the streets as little interfered with as pos-
sible. The procession in its general projection will be
nearly the same as last year. The state coach has been
burnished up for the occasion, and the Lord Mayor
will ride in it, drawn by six horses, to Westminster.
It will be remembered that on the mayoralty of Alder-
man Allen he ,refused peremptorily to ride in the
ancinnt conveyance, and he gave a great deal of umbrage
to a good many of the citizens by refusing to have any-
thing but a very curtailed procession. That was the first
time on which there had been an innovation in the ancient
customs of the city of London, and the old state coach
has been used at every succeeding mayoralty.. The
companies that will go in the procession are the Inn-
holders' Company, the Spectacle Makers' Company, and
the Tallow Chandlers' Company. The band of the
Grenadier Guards, with the drums and fifes, and an
escort of the 10th Hussars will form part of the procession.
There will be several other bands, viz., the band of
the 33rd Middlesex Volunteers, the band of the Victoria
Rifles, the band of the London Rifle Brigade, the band of
the London Scottish Volunteers, the band of the City of
London Engineers, the drums and fifes of the London
Royal Militia, and the band of the Royal Artillery Com-
pany. The procession will start from Guildhall precisely
at two o'clock, and pass through Gresham-street, Princes-
street, King William-street, Cannon-street, St. Paul's
Church-yard, Ludgate-hill, New Bridge-street, Black-
friars, and thence by the Thames Embankment to West-
minster. The procession will return from Westminster
by way of the Strand, Fleet-street; Ludgate-hill, St.
Paul's Church-yard, Cheapside, King-street, to Guild-
hall. Tue Lady Mayoress, in her state carriage, will
join the procession on its return from Westminster, and
will be followed by the Ambassadors, her Majesty's
Ministers of State, the nobility, judges, members of
Parliament, and other persons of distinction who are invited
to the banquet. The " men in armour " will again be
coaspicuous by their absence in the procession of the Lord
Mayor's Day.

THE TRUTH ITSELF.

On the 30th the feeling of agitation bred by Le Combat
was intensified a hundred fold. Two great events
happened. M. Thiers arrived with proposals for an
armistice, and the capitulation of Metz was announced
as a positive fact. For the time, the former event
was lost and forgotten in the grief caused by the latter.
The capitulation was the one topic of conversation. The
Parisians for once realised to the full extent the situation
of France ; for the whole truth seems to have been
told, and no fact of moment held back. At any rate,
the following dismal bulletin appears to leave nothing
untold :—" The army of Metz has capitulated. Marshal
Bazaine, running short of provisions and ammunition,
has signed a capitulation in all points resembling that of
Sedan. The army placed under his orders, the garrison
of the city, and the National Guard, are prisoners of
war. The number of the generals, officers, and soldiers
who have beeen obliged to lay down their arms, is 171,000
including the National Guard of Metz." An army of
170,000 men ! Such a disaster is unprecedented, as that of
Sedan was until the greater calamity of Metz occurred.
The blow was acutely felt, but the discouragement was
not such as to induce any wavering in the determination
to resist, nor has there been so far any outcry against
the army which has just been led into cap-
tivity. But murmurs against the Government
speedily arose, and prepared the way for the
outbreak that was to come. Instead of denouncing
Bazaine, or his troops, or the Government in the pro-
vinces,
the measure of popular indignation was vented
the Ministers within the besieged city, who had

much share in the surrender of Bazaine- as Bazaine
will have in the surrender of Paris, whenever that may
happen. Says the .Reveil :—" Every true Frenchman
should wear mourning, for to-day the honour of the
country flows from every pore, along with the blood of her
children. Baza,ine surrendered, Metz given up to the
Prussians—what more is left for us to endure ? Shame
and curses upon the men who, unable to measure
their own weakness of heart or of head, have charged
themselves with the national defence, and have conducted
it as if they had no other aim than to betray France to
the enemy 1 Imbeciles or traitors—there is no other
choice ; but as for the people, the result is the same, the
crime is the same in the presence of the people—in the
presence of humanity, whose rights France is defending
within the enceinte of radii." The Revell finished by
calling for the Commune. This appeal evidently found
many sympathisers. The quarters of Belleville and
La Vilette were unusually agitated during the night.
Bands of armed men kept moving about in those notori-
ously Red districts. Flourens and the other Socialist
eaders betrayed an activity which boded no good to the
cause of order.

ft AL 1N VIN OIBLE.

The new ironclad, the Invincible, was tested on Satur-
day at Keyham Dockyard, with a view to ascertain the
centre of gravity. It was found that with 300 tons of
ballast in her water compartments, and 60 tons of iron
ballast introduced on deck, she was 5 degrees out of the
perpendicular. This is a slightly less heel than the
Captain had at her trial with 80 tons of iron ballast on
deck, but without water ballast in her compartments.
The Invincible when under steam without sails in very
moderate weather last week is stated to have rolled to 18
degrees.

ATTACK WITH A SCYTHE.

At the Leicester County Police-court, on Saturday,
Joseph Burdett was committed for trial for cutting and
wounding Henry Carter, his father-in-law, at Glenfield,
on Wednesday night. A dispute had arisen between the
parties respecting the possession of a house ; the accused
went to prosecutor's house on the night in question for his
things, and on receiving his scythe, he attacked! Carter
with it, cutting him on the head.
London, England, 1870-11-07

A DEPOSITION.

The negative answer was straightway carried upstairs
to the Revolutionists, who considered what should be
done. Some of the National Guards from Belleville, who
understood a great deal more about upsetting govern-
ments than about beating the Germans, cried, "We
must arrest it." Just the thing. "We must arrest it,"
echoed on all sides, and one gentleman, more enterprising
than the rest, quietly hinted at certain consequences which
ought to follow arrest. The crowd went to the meeting
hall, which was immediately invaded, and filled with Na-
tional Guards and roughs without uniform, who shouted
and gesticulated at eaeh other without any defined object.
MM. Trochu, Jules Favre, Ernest Picard, Simon, and
two other Ministers were seated round a little
table. The crowd surrounded them, hustled them, and
overwhelmed them with recriminations and reproaches.
M. Dorian was mounted on a chair and delivered a speech
which it was impossible to catch. After having descended
from the improvised tribune, Dorian retired under the
direction of two National Guards,who cleared a passage for
him. Floruens next got upon the chair. This is the man
who, wild revolutionist as he is, has the greatest com-
mand over the Paris mob. He is a mis-
guided Ultra, but his determination and bravery
are such as few men can equal. No sooner had
he got upon the chair than perfect silence prevailed. He
invited with calmness, but with much decision, each mem-
ber of the Government to give in his resignation.
Jules Favre replied in the name of his colleagues,
that, holding his mandate from the whole people, he would
retire only in presence of a Government regularly
elected ; till then he would not budge. General Trochu
energetically supported his colleagues, and the other
members followed in the same sense. The crowd did not
ease clamouring for the immediate arrest of the members
of the Provisional Government, and demanded that they
should be sent to Vincennes. The explanations which
Flourens endeavoured to give were interrupted by cries of
" L'arrestation." "You may arrest me," said Jules Favre,
"but you will not change myresolution." After a very con-
fused discussion, which was prolonged till seven in the
evening. M. Flourens declared that, as a measure of
public safety, the members of the Provisional oovernment
should be kept in sight (scrota gardes a vu). He then in-
vited the crowd to evacuate the Hotel de Ville, and
ordered tne National Guard to watch all the issues. The
crowd persisted in demanding the arrest of the Govern-
ment. Some cries of " Death " even were heard ; but a
speech from Flourens, who declared that he placed the
members of the Government under his safe-guard, appeased
those present.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF STUDENTS.

The conduct of students at our Universities and
other institutions has long been a matter of regret.
When we read of such a scene as occurred at the
Edinburgh University, it is impossible to resist the
conclusion that it is high time a determined and
severe action was taken by the authorities to prevent
the recurrence of such painful exhibitions. When
the Principal of a University is for an hour or more,
interrupted in his address by cat calls and every
kind of disorder, and when learning and old age
are insulted, as on the occasion alluded to, words of
reproof are unavailing, and stern measures of repression
are absolutely necessary. " Who are you ? " queried
one of the students, when Professor Christison bespoke
a fair hearing for Principal Grant. This question
was addressed to a raan who entered the University
in 1811 1 Dignified was the rebuke which the Pro-
fessor administered; but, notwithstanding all efforts
to propitiate the students, the Principal was annoyed
and interrupted more or less to the end of his
discourse.

hurried Out, with arms and belt in hand, arransing their
equipinents as they ran. All the windows were thrown
open and stuffed with on-lookers. Their trumpets'....g
out along the Carebiere ; the citizen soldiers, as they
hastened by, grew into larger and larger groups,
took order, and got into step. Rattle and tramp
and clang all over the city ! By the time I
reached the main thoroughfare it was blocked
with armed men marching in rank. Within ten minutes
of the first drum-tap, there were twenty thouiand National
Guards defiling towards the Hotel de Ville, amidst a
deafening cry of " Vive la Republique 1" Against such a
demonstration the Civic Guard and all the other revolu-
tionary powers could make no stand—not for the moment,
certainly. They retired somewhat confusedly as the heads of
the a fenging columns defiled into the squares. But we
fear that to-morrow may see worse things. For the present
all is quiet again, and the National Guards dispersed, ex-
cepting a small garrison for the Hotel de Ville and the
Mairie. At the stations which I have just visited there
is great confusion. Civic Guards, as drunk as men can
be, 101 l against the ticket offices, and brutally refuse
to allow any passengers to go, native or foreign, without
M. Esquiro's written order. There are hundreds of people
supplicating these brutes, who are literally too drunk to
understand what is said to them. Poor France !

suddenly closed the gates, fired on the traitors, killed
them all, then sallied out and cut his way to Thion-

ATTACK ON THE HOTEL DE VILLE.

The next morning (yesterday) showed that the Reds
were determined to make the most of their opportunity.
There were great gatherings of people in all directions
and tremendous uproar. Troops of men dressed as
National Guards, but for the most part without arms,
marched about crying for the Commune. Soon they got
into the square of the Hotel de Ville, and there raised
more uproar. This unarmed demonstration resulted
in nothing, but it was the prelude to a more
serious performance. It ought to have put the Govern-
ment on their guard. But no precautions seem to have
been taken. At one o'clock the old revolutionary tumult
resounded in different parts of the city; the rappel was
beaten, and battalions of guards, this time fully armed
and equipped, trooped into the square. Then commenced
a stormy afternoon's work. The battalions
sang the Marseillaise, and shouted for the
Commune. More men came up. After an
hour or two an entrance was effected, and the armed
soldier-citizens poured into the Hotel do Ville, up its
staircases, and through its various chambers. Nothing
seemed capable of stopping the tide of mischief. The rain
fell heavily, and yet the crowds gathered. At half-past
one General Trochu appeared at one of the windows. He
tried to reassure the mob, but spoke somewhat despond.
ingly and therefore did not succeed. Ho said he had
fortified Paris, and if he had not been able to defeat the
enemy in the open, it was through the want of artillery.
His life was at the service of his country. The mob,
however, appreciated no talk of this kind : Trochu was
so roughly handled that he had to retire. M.
Jules Simon had no bettor success. No armed men ap-
peared at this juncture on the side of the Government.
And so the mob did what they liked in the Hotel de Ville.
Yet they did nothing in any regular way, and for some
hours had no object. Indeed at present nobody knows
what they did, except raise a fearful uproar and go
generally "on the rampage." At five o'clock
the revolutionary daredevil, Flourens, who had been
seen there before, put in a formal and official appearance,
and the business of making a Revolution began in good
earnest.

ONE GOVERNMENT GOETH AND ANOTHER COMETH.

Flourens came in with several soldiers of his battalions,
and took his stand on the bend of the crowded staircase.
He there announced that a meeting of citizens who had
deliberated in the picture hall (deliberated 1) not willing to
content themselves with promises, but, demanding acts, had
charged him to formulate the following resolutions :-Ist.
Within the next forty-eight hours a Committee of Defence
be elected. 2nd. Until that time provision shall be made
for the nomination of a Provisional Committee, whose first
course shall be to make the Hotel de Vile to
be guarded no longer by Mobiles or Bretons,
but by National Guards, who represent really
the rights and interests of the city. Afterwards that
committee must immediately send delegates into the forts
to preserve them from all treason. For, adde'd the orator,
from the commencement of the campaign until now we
have been betrayed—constantly 'betrayed. 3rd. The
citizens united propose the following list for the Pro-
visional Committee : Flourens, Fdlix Pyat, Ranvier,
Mottu, Blanqui, Avrial, Delescluze, Milliere. Flourens
then asked if any names were to be added to this collec-
tion of political rubbish. Victor Hugo was called for, and
carried with acclamation. Then came Raspail and Gambon,
and finally Rochefort, whose efforts, however, to preserve
order caused him a multitude of enemies. However, he
was added to the list at length. All this was done upon
the great staircase, which became crowded to excess with
its living freight. All the while detail business was pro-
ceeding in other parts of the great establishment, but na.
interruption was experienced. The members of the
Government were sitting in the hall where their delibera-:
tions were usually held. Now, if a new Government,
composed of the admirable gentlemen whose names I have
just recounted, were to take the reins of power, it
was evident that the actual possessors must
retire. Accordingly a crowd proceeded to invade
the antechamber where Trochu and his colleagues were
seated. Their resignations were demanded. Unfortu-
nately, however, they did not exactly " see it." They
refused.
London, England, 1870-11-07

PREMATURE TRUTH,

The entertainment of the week began on the 27th, with
the appearance of Le Combat, This worthy journal
is edited by M. Felix Pyat—need one say
more ? M. Pyat is a Red Socialist, rather worn out in
the business, but still possessing that great proportion of
energy and small proportion of sense which are so often
found combined in gentlemen of his creed. His history
previous to the siege is not much in his favour ; his doings
during the siege have been confined chiefly to advocating
insurrection and revolutionism in general, and in telling
lies. On the 27th he manufactured a gross canard.
Metz, said the Combat, had surrendered. You will
know well enough that this falsehood was but the presage
of the truth, but it wag none the less a falsehood, for by
no means could M. Pyat have received any intelligence of
the kind. Paris, which imagined that Bazaine and his
host were immolating the Germans by degrees, became
curious at this news. Freeshooters and National Guards
repaired to the office of the paper, but were furnished
with very vague information. In the afternoon some of
M. Pyat's staff were arrested and taken to the
Hotel de Ville. On the Boulevard Sebastopol the
irritated crowd wanted to seize them from the National
Guards who were surrounding them. At the War Office
all the officials left off work in order to go and ascertain
whether the news was true. General Trochu replied
bluntly that it was false. During the whole evening, on
the boulevards, in the suburbs, and in the clubs. disgust
was loudly expressed at the " infamous calumny " of the
Combat. The people bought up the paper with amazing
avidity—in order to publicly burn it. Never. before were
the copies of the Combat so rapidly disposed of, in every
sense of the phrase, as on the 27th. The incident had no
immediate consequences, yet it was not without impor-
tance, for it agitated men's minds, made the Republicans
especially uneasy, and paved the way for the disturbances
that were to follow.

INSURRECTION IN PARIS.

(By BALLOON MAIL.)

PARIS, Nov, 1.

The siege up to the last few days was a very dull
affair—a monotonous routine of learning the best way to
eat short allowances of indifferent food, and listening to
uneventful discharges of cannon from the forts. But
for the last five or six days we have had
no ennui to complain of. The excitement has
been of a very high order, and of thoroughly
abundant quantity. Further news of disaster has reached
us ; the question of peace has come under serious discus-
sion for the first time since the investment ; the smoulder-
ing antagonism between the Reds and the Moderates has
broken into fierce flame; Belleville has risen in insurrection;
the Reds have made the Government prisoners; the
Moderates have discomfited the Reds ; and the Ministers
remain again masters of the field. This is pretty fair
for a week's work. It seems to have satisfied even the
Parisians, who are now as quiet almost as they were before
the commencement of the business.

FRENCH PRISONERS IN PRUSSIA.

A. correspondent of the Times refers to the reports
which have been circulated with respect to the ill-
treatmetit of the French prisoners in Prussia, and
states that an official inquiry has been made by the
Prussian authorities, which has turned out very
satisfactorily. The prisoners in Custrin are in some
respects better off than •the Prussian soldiers, and in
no degree are they worse off. Their food is looked
a'ter by a committee, and superintended by the
commandfulCof the fortress, who daily examines the
quality of the rations. The letters which are sent
by the prisoners are read by a sworn interpreter, and
they have contained no complaints as to the treat-
ment received, while they have occasionally
expressed approval of the manner in which the
prison arrangements are conducted. The satisfactory
state of the prisoners' health is shewn by the fact
that only fifteen out of the 899 confined at Custrin
are in hospital. At the outbreak of the war the
Ministers of War at Paris and Berlin found on
examination that the same regulations were in force
in the two countries regatding the treatment of pri-
soners. The Prussian Government has in some
instances gone beyorrl its requireinehts in bestowing
care upon the prisoners, as in the establishment of
bakeries to provide white bread instead of ..the black
bread which is so much disliked by. the French
soldiers. Through the agency of the British
Embassy the solde de captivite allowed by the French
Government is regularly paid to the French prisoners
in Prussia.

THE SIEGE.-PREPARATIONS FOR THE BOMBARDMENT.

The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from the
headquarters of the Prussian army at Versailles on the
29th October, says :—Groups Of soldiers are busy in the
woods making faggots, which are called " fascines,"
and baskets without bottoms, which are known as
"gabions." Logs of timber are being sawn up into
pieces of convenient length to build the platform
whereon the guns will work. The bottomless baskets
are being filled with earth, and the faggots are being
covered with earth as they take their place in the
batteries. Banks are spaded up by night, behind which
the besiegers can shelter, and those banks presently con-
ceal waggon loads of bottomless baskets. Everything is
finished off neatly inside, though every thing remains rough
and unpretending towards the front. Platforms are made
for the great siege guns to rest on. Holes are dug
out near the batteries, and prepared to receive
ammunition. They are thickly covered over with
earth and timber, until there is little chance of a
shell getting through, whilst every possible precaution is
taken against damp, Then the ammunition is stored up
ready for use. It is in fact a raising of forts against
forts. The original engineer has said, " Here is my notion
of defence." He has made his m.,ve, and must wait
the result. The new corner, the besieger, picks
out every weak point in the line, and sets to
work to outfortify his foe. Look along the German
line of attack, from Bougival, by St. Cloud, Meudon, and
Chittillon, to opposite Villejuif, and you will see cannon
bristling against the whole south-west of the French posi
tion. The villas round Paris are held by riflemen,
who watch one another with restless vigilance. The
gardens are trampled clown or hastily turned over
with spades, to form breastworks in their midst. Loop-
holes are knocked in the high garden walls, and trees
are felled,' which were their owner's pride. Siege opera-
tions in the suburbs of a great city are fearfully destruc-
tive of property. If there are not guns enough
already mounted to satisfy you of the strength
of the attack, come out with me a little
further from Paris, and see the park of artillery waiting
to be brought forward. Beyond the crest of the ridge,
out of all possible range of the French forts, is a little
impromptu arsenal in a field near the road. These huge
pieces are very slow in getting into position, but will do
mischief when once they are placed, you may depend.
See how the mad from Nogent is blocked with waggons.
The calculated number of 28 or 30 of these to bring
up the ammunition of each battery gun is enough to
account for a good deal of blocking on the road. But,
further than this, there is a quantity of food to be brought
to the front, and other traffic of every sort to carry on.
They ought to be thankful to have hard roads in place of
the quagmires of other historical sieges.

THE CONDUOT OF BAZAINE.

The Paris Official Journal of October 31st, in an-
nouncing the surrender of Metz, says that Marshal
Bazaine and his army were forced to surrender
after heroic efforts which the want of provisions
and ammunitions prevented them from continuing
any longer. Paris would show herself worthy of
these brave soldiers, and would be encouraged by their
example, and by the hope of avenging them. No nharge
of treason or treachery against Marshal Bazaine would
appear to be made in this article. In contrast with
the announcement of the official journal of
Paris is a long report which appears in the
official journal of Tours, the Moniteur Universal of the
4th. It is addressed to the Government of the National
Defence by "E. de Valcourt, an officer attached to the
headquarters of the Army of the Rhine," and takes the
form of an indictment against Marshal Bazaine.
The substance of the charges brought against the
Marshal is that he acted throughout with the sole object
of remaining master of the political situation in France,
and that he surrendered the town and fortress of Metz
and the French army with the view of furthering his own
ambitious ends.
