ADDRESS OF THE INTERNA-
TIONAL PEACE LEAGUE TO
THE GERMANS.
PARIS, SEPTEMBER 9, 3.35 p.m.
The Central Committee of the International Peace
League has issued a manifesto urging the now
affranchised people of France to declare that it intends
to respect the independence of all nations, and at the
same time calling upon the German people to con-
clude peace on the basis of the integrity of French
territory, the war having now ceased to have any
justifiable object. The manifesto concludes by
declaring that the common aim of all efforts must be
the federation of free peoples.

health, and has been replaced by General Ricotti.
The second category of the class of 1848 has been
called out.

The Opinione of this evening says that a strong
agitation is going on in Rome and in the Pon-
tifical provinces, and that addresses to Victor
Emmanuel are being signed demanding the entry of
an Italian army into Rome. Colonel de Charette is
fortifying Montefiascone.,
The-people of the' neighbourhood are in insurrec-
tion, and are threatening his rear.
The Gozetta—deLl'opolo ontradicts the rumours

Id a foreign Government would oppose the resolu-
ions taken by Italy respecting Rome.

SUPPORT TO THE REPUBLIC.
PARIS, SEPT. 8.

A placard has been posted up in Paris to-day
signed by MM. Blanqui, Lacambre, Pridon Brothers,
Villeneuve, Regnard, Levrand, and Pilhes, which says
that in the presence of the enemy there must be no
more parties, no more divergences of opinion.
All opposition and all contradiction must disap-
pear before the common danger.
Accursed be he who should now seek his own
selfish ends or hold back. The undersigned put
aside all private opinion, and offer the Provisional
Government the most energetic and most absolute
support, without reserve or condition, except the
maintenance of the Republic.
The .undersigned have resolved to be buried
beneath- the ruins rather than sign a peace dis-
honouring or dismembering France.

SOCIALISM IN FRANCE.
PARIS, SEPTEMBER 8.

Tho Illarseillaise re-appeared bo-day, with the

heading of " Vive la Republique Democratique, et
Sociale," and publishes a letter from M. Rochefort.
announcing that he can take no part in the editorship
of the Marseillaise, while a member of the Govern-
ment.

An article in the same paper, signed Grousset, is
published, in which the writer expresses his dissatis-
faction at the conduct of the Government, and says
that the majority of the members are strongly sus-
pected by the Socialist democracy, and that the
name of Rochefort alone inspires confidence.
The Manseillaise demands acts from the Govern-
ment.

RUSSIA AND THE REPUBLIC

ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 9.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day discusses
M. Jules Favre's circular in an article of which the
following is an extract :
"The French Government carries the Praetorian
virtue too far when, even for the sake of a peace

that would put an end to a war of exterpation, it
refuses to sacrifice fortresses that have not prevented
Paris being exposed to a siege.
" Germany has seen that M. Jules Farre was not
able to prevent war when the nation enthusiastically
sanctioned it, and he will now probably require a
lasting guarantee for the results of her heroic
victories.
" In conclusion we must say we do not understand
how right and justice can now be said to be on the
side of France, when M. Jules Favre maintained the
opposite a month ago.
" We trust Europe will possess sufficient influence
to secure a lasting peace.

TREATMENT OF GERMANS,

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 9.

The Moniteur Beige of to-day eays :—" The
German journals complain of the manner in which
the Germans exiled from France and the wounded
German soldiers have been received in Belgium. An
inquiry has been ordered to arrive at the truth of this.
Belgium feels more than ever pleased at the friendly
relations she has been able to establish with neigh-
bouring Powers, and therefore the reproach on this
subject which has been addressed to the Belgian
Government cannot be justified, since Belgium
offers with. the same readiness and without dis-
tinction of the flag her sympathetic hospitality to
all who are suffering and in trouble.

THE KING AND THE REPUBLIC.

BERLIN, SEPT. 9, 9.40 A.M.

The Paris Committee of Defence has summoned
the King of Prussia to evacuate French territory
without loss of time.
After confidential exchange of opinion between
the principal German Governments, it seems
probable that Alsace and Lorraine, if annexed, will
be placed under the central Government of Germany,
without being handed over to any one German
Sovereign individually.
Preparations are making to send the overland
mail by Brindisi, Tyrol, and Ostend, in case the
French railway traffic is disturbed.
Count Itunplitz and General Roon, Prussian
Ministers of Commerce and War, have each lost a
son in the field.
The German losses at Woerth are now officially
ascertained as being above 8,000.—Times.

PRUSSIANS EXPLORING PARIS.
The Manchester Examiner publishes the following
telegram :

PARIS, THunlitimv.
Last night two men of the Prussian cavalry in full
uniform, but wearing the overcoat common to both
armies, were captured in the Rue Dauphine. These
scouts entered with Vinoy's troops, and were all day
exploring the city. They cannot be shot, being in
full uniform.
The Prussians are near—expected to be in the
environs to-morrow.

[The Echo publishes the following telegram,
received from its own correspondent, dated Paris,
Sept. 8 (Eight a.m.)—Arms have been obtained
for 90,000 fresh troops, who will be raised at
once. The police have been dismissed by an
edict of Count Keratry, who has ordered the
formation of a new corps without swords. Paris
is perfec4ly quiet.]

ante Beige the obstacle has arisen from the
British Cabinet, which considers it useless to pro-
pose to the King of Prussia an arrangement on the
basis of the territorial integrity of France, -which it
believes he would peremptorily refuse. This is a
sitie qua non with the French Government and
people.

RUSSIA AND THE TREATY OF

PARIS.

The Constitutionnel affirms that 'Russia will take
advantage of the confused state of affairs in
Europe, and demand, if not the abrogation of the
nris Treaty of 1856, at least a considerable modifi-
cation of its clauses. 'The Lloyd de Pesth makes
mention of the circumstance, and a letter from
Constantinople gives some interesting details
on the subject. General Ignatieff, in the
name of the St. Petersburg Cabinet, de-
manded from the Porte a revision of the Conven-
tion of 1856. The Porte replied that the Treaty of
Paris, being the collective work of all the great
Powers, the Ottoman Government alone could not
modify it. This news, if true, is regarded as menac-
ing the tranquillity of Europe.

THE ITALIAN TROOPS IN ROME.

he North-Eastern Correspondence publishes a
dispatch from Vienna which says that the Italian
troops will immediately enter Rome.
A. despatch from• Berne states that the Italian
Government has signified to. the Federal Council
that it has determined upon the military occupation
of the Roman States.
