THE SURD. NDER OF NAPOLEON HI:

The Nord Deutsche Allgen-deine Zettung, the organ of
Count Bismarck, gives a report of the surrender of the
Emperor, quite different from that hitherto published. It
states thatnn the request of the Emperor, Count Bismarck
rode down to Sedan and met Napoleon on the road near
Fr6nois. The Chancellor immediately dismounted, and
asked what his Majesty desired. Napoleon 111. asked if
he could see the King, and was told that that was not
immediately possible, because the King was at Vendresse.
He then said that he did not wish to return to Sedan,
because he feared an unpleasant reception from the
French soldiers, who were angry at the capitulation.
The Count then offered his quarters at Donchery, saying
that he would at once quit them, The Emperor accepted
but after going 200 paces, he asked if he might not rest in
a yellow house they saw on the left side of the wood. The
Chancellor said it was a very miserable place, to which
the Emperor replied that was no matter. He and Count
Bismarck then entered a little room, which had but one
window, and for furnitureonly a wooden table and two
straw chairs, and there the Emperor and Count Bismarck
talked for an hour. Then the Count sent for Von Moltke,
and the Emperor was removed to the Chateau of Frdnois.
in which the capitulation was signed, and where the Em- .
peror afterwards met King William.

A letter from Vienna to the North-East correspondent says
that accounts from Berlin shew that the capture of the
Emperor Napoleon is considered in official Prussian circles
to be rather an embarrassment than a success. The
Prussians are anxious for the immediate end of the disas-
trous war which is exhauSting all the resources of the
country, and keeps all the useful members of the popula-
tion under arms. The capture of Napoleon, far from
hastening the desired end, appears likely to retard the
conclusion of the war, because the Republican
. Government will in all probability succeed in
exciting the enthusiasm of the French people,
and will thus provoke a popular war. The official
and independent press of Prussia unite in de-
claring the German people have not declared war against
a particular form of Government, but against the French
nation ; that the fall of the Empire has not changed the
situation ; and that peace cannot be made until after the
fall of Paris, and then with a power that has been ,
regularly. constituted. The conditions of peace must be
!tile cession of Alsace and Lorraine, with Metz and Nancy,
the fragment of a war cantribution of two thousand'.
million, and a disarmanient imposed on France.

A letter from• Captain De Kouveray, in a Nana°
paper, denies the report of the death of General FaillY,
as he saw him on the 7th walking near Sedan.
The Vossische Zeituog states that Madame Mathilde
Heine, the widow of Heinrich Heine, has placed her
house in the Rue de la Courcelle, Paris, at the disposal
of the Society for the Aid of the Sick and Wounded-
Madame Heine, as is well known, is by birth a French-
woman.
A letter from' Paris, published in the Nord, states
that the French General Legrand, who fell at Grave'
lotte, has left eleven daughters behind him—unprovides
for. A national subscription has been set on foot for
the purpose of obtaining means for their education, and
for their marriage portions.
The Constitutionnet mentions a rumour which has
reached it from its English correspondent, that a Prussian
corps d'armde has been detached from headquarters t°
occupy Havre and Cherbourg, and cut off the French cola*
munications by sea.
The Messager du Midi states that on the Bth of Septenr
ber an alarm was given at Toulon that the convicts had
broken loose and were in a state of insurrection. The
military authorities immediately directed troops towards
the prison, but it wrs found the disorder extended only
one floating bagne, and even there all resistance was very
speedily overcome.
Figaro tells a singular..anecdote. One of the Garde
Mobile having fired a shot to test the range of his weapon,
saw the dust rise up before him at a few paces distant
from him. He advanced and picked up the ball, which
proved to be hollow, and consequently had no projectile
force. The ball was taken to M. de Keratry, who gave
orders to arrest the contractor, and appointed officers t°
inspect the cartridges distributed to all soldiers.
The nearer the approach of the enemy to Paris the
greater the number of families who arrive there with their
cattle, their provisions, and their personal effects. t
each entry there is an interminable procession of carts
with furhiture, forage, and grain. Here and there, in the
midst of these vehicles, are poor families, who come on
foot carrying in their baskets and in packages household
utensils, and leading little children by the hand, altogether
affording a most touching spectacle.
According to the Cologne Gazette the miscarriage of the
negotiations with Luxemburg and Belgium for the eca.
veyance of trains of wounded through neutral territory.
has already led to lamentable results. Many wounded
soldiers whose recovery would have been possible, have
died in consequence of the long transport. It is 111
contemplation, in the interest of humanity, to rale°
these negotiations, especially as a rapid clearance of the
hospitals in the neighbourhood of the fields of battle is
urgently necessary.
Gustave Flourens, chief of the 63rd Battalion of the
.National Guard of Paris, has published a proclamation
which calls upon the citizens to conquer or die. They are
not fighting for France alone, but for the whole of the,
human race, and for Republican Prussia itself. Pas:
must triumph or become a second Saragossa, burYln'
itself under its ruins rather than surrendering itself. ‘`", e
shall conquer if we have faith in the future and union
among ourselves. To-day we are all French and nothing
more, all Republicans and nothing less.
Under the title of " Intervention " the Cloche publishea
the following rote :—" We call the attention of our readers
to the following news, which we have received frorn
source that is almost official : A great personage of Austro
was interrogated by a friend concerning the events of O°
day, and said that Austria waited to intervene until
Russia should declare herself, and that Rnssia is perfectil
prepared to oppose the aggrandisement of Prussia and 00
dismemberment of France. She is now ready to enter on
a campaign with eight hundred thousand men. GresV
events may shortly be expected.
The German professor of jurisprudence at Berlin Doe
written a letter to the Spenersehe Gazette claiming an
demrity from France :—I. Payment of all German via'
loans. 2. Pecuniary reparation to the families of soldiers
killed or permanently disabled in the war. 3. ConaPeiv
sation for all ships captured. 4. Compensation f°r
damage sustained by acts contrary to the usages of `O'

A letter from before Metz, dated the sth, says
" Marshal Bazaine, after being informed of the caPta ,r;
of Napoleon, peremptorily refused a fresh summons '
surrender, with the remark that the Emperor did n°t
concern him in the least, and that he alone had the cola'
mand in Metz. The bombardment of the town With
sixty heavy Pru Nan cannon should have begun Yeater:

to be hoped,. will become a German frontier stronghold',f
The Prussian Cross Gazette states that the King ea
Prussia, on receiving the articles of capitulation, liaj
them read out to the Princes and Staff who surrounde
him, and whom he then addr9ssed thus :—" You 11°",
know, gentlemen, what a great historical event has hal;
pened. lam indebted for this to the distinguished feats
of the allied armies, to whom I feel bound on this oeca.
sion to express my kingly thanks ; the more so as these
great successes are well adapted more closely to knit "0
bond which unites the provinces of the North Gerrao
Confederation and my other allies, whose nurncre e.
princely representatives I see assembled round tai,,
We may thus hope for a happy future. Our tas
however, is not completed with what has occurteof
under our eyes, for we do not know how the rest
France will accept and estimate it. We must, therefore'
remain ready to fight, but meanwhile I present lae
thanks to every one who has contributed a leaf to
tb
laurel crown of fame of our Fatherland." The King,
speaking these last words, rested his eye specially on Frill',
Leopold of Bavaria and Prince William of Wiirternberilos
to whom he afterwards extended his hand. He aftersv7o
rode down into the valley to visit the camp of the vsri°64

pected, at Briihl, near Cologne.
