LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1870.

UP to Sunday the greater part ot France remained
in complete ignorance of the fresh disaster
which had befallen the nation; but the reception of
the news in the few districts to whic!l it had peat!-
, trated may be taken as an indication of its general
effect. For the present, at all events, the blow has
not turned the thoughts of the French people
towards peace. The more hopeless the contest
appears, the more sternly do they pronounce
the necessity for continu:ng it. The calamity has
c used the utmost consternation, Int the ration is
eager rather for revenge upon Marshal 13AzAiNtg than
for a termination ot the horr,,r.3 of war. As usual,
the capitulation is ascribe 1 to treachery. The French
commander-in-chief has, in the opinion of French-
men, given up the fortress without due reason.
Nor is this opinion confine 1 to the populace, for

If we are to credit the statement put forward by
the Moniteu►• U►►ive►sel, a French paper, published
in London, and representing itself as an official organ,
there is a treaty actually in existence between
Russia and Prussia. Should Austria join France
against Prussia, Russia will take up arms against
Aust,ia. It seems, according to this story, that
Russia took ofll3nce at the increase of Austria's arma-
ments, which was in reality only due to her having
allowed them to sink below the usual peace level.
The Russian representative at Paris was directed to
call the attention of the Foreign Minister to the state
of affairs, and remind him that the neutrality of
Russia was conditional on the inaction of Austria.
The French Minister was even asked to declare that
he would take no steps to bring Austria into
alliance with France. This conversation, of course,
occurred before any of the French reverses. The
reply which the Russian envoy received
was not encouraging. France, said the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, could have no
reason for interfering with Austria and had no
objection to Russia's arming, if she thought proper.
He could not at the out ,ot of a war, pledge himself
against a possible alliance. The Russian said that
France would consult her own interests by following
the Russian suggestion, since the moment Austria
declared against Prussia, Russia would take the
field against Austria. "Then," replied the French-
man, " that is because you have a secret treaty w th
Prussia." Of the existence of such a treaty . the
Mond/ ur has no doubt whatever.

NORTH SCHLESWIG.

There is every reason to believe that the Prus,iian
Government intend to give back the northern part
of Schleswig to Denmark. This is the portion of
territory which, by a stipulation of the Prague
Treaty, was to be restored to its former possessor, if
the inhabitants declared in favour of the re-transfer.
According to the Hamburg Correspondent awl the
,Cologne Gazette, Russia has been author;sed by
Prussia to assure Denmark of tho ulti-
mate fulfilment of this condition, in the event of
Denmark observing a strict neutrality. Various signs
go to prove that some understanding of this bind
really exists. It is au extremely probable one, and.
indee 1, furnishes another illustration of Count Bis-
