HOW FORTPkESUIS ARE TAKEN.

The capture of Thionville, near Metz, furnishes au
example of the influences which often determine the
late of fortified towns. It is all very well for the
commandant to swear that he will hold out to the
last biscuit, or die in the breach ; but the inhabitants
of the place often regard the affair in a dilierent
light. At Thionville the governor was resolved
to perish under the ruins. But no sooner had
shells begun to fall than the citizens begged him to
surrender. On the second day there was a decided
revolt ; and the mutineers, having threatened the
commandant with death, drove the artillerymen from
their ramparts, and hoisted the white flag, The
commandant disappeared, and it is not linown where
he is. The houses in Thionville were much damaged ;
but, strangely enough, not one of the inhabitants
was killed. They all took refuge in the cellars.

NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.

At the last meeting of the National Lifeboat
Institution, rewards were voted to the crews of
various lifeboats who had been out during the recent
storms. The Mincing-lane lifeboat at Montrose went
off through a high sea, and was successful in saving'
the crew of a shipwrecked schooner. The Whit-
burn lifeboat brought eight men ashore from a brig
which had been stranded. Charles Mitchell received
the second service clasp of the Institution for his
gallant services on the occasion of a wreck in Corn-
wall. During a heavy gale, he contrived
to get a line ashore from the vessel, and by
this means many of the crew were saved
by the rocket apparatus. He subsequently joined
the men of the lifeboat which saved the remainder
of the wrecked crew. The disbursements of the
Institution were so great that orders were given. to
sell out three thousand pounds of stock of its funded
capital to meet the necessary requirements. The
Society have expended during the present year more
than nineteen thousand pounds in forming new
stations, and in maintaining the large fleet
of 223 boats. The value of its services 19
attested by the fact that during this period as many
as 918 lives has been saved from various wreck*
and 24 vessels preserved from destruction. Since its
establishment the Institution has contributed to save
20,000 lives from shipwreck.

PRUSSIA'S ATTITUDE.

Dr. Russell has his say in the Times respecting
the much-discussed share of Prussia in this Black Seib
complication. " One point I think is made clear'
Prussia had no intimation of the course Prince Gortsciny
koff was about to pursue. The issue of the Circular carne`
on her by surprise—not an agreeable surprise'
The form of the Note and the time at which it isse
presented have added to the feeling excited by the
want of knowledge of the proposed step. But Prussia
not prepared to condemn the action of Russia in seeking e
revision of the hurtful clauses of the Treaty. Count 13ir
marck suggests that a Conference might be held to On•
eider the matters presented as the gravamina by Prince
Gortschakoff against the Treaty of 1856, and to eon'
aider new guarantees for Turkey which shall not be
hurtful to the self-respect and dignity of the Cyan'
Count Bismarck cannot be considered as expressing any
disapproval of the objects and demands of Russia, but be
has disavowed complicity with Russia in the presentaticej
of the Note. He has been quite surprised at it, and rosi,
be taken as disapproving the form of the document and °'
the period selected for its promulgation."

CHINA.

The following has been forwarded to us from the
Foreign Office :
" A telegram has been received from Mr. Wade,
dated Pekin, November 16, stating that M. Roche-
chouart has come back trom Tien-tsin, where he
considers public confidence completely restored. He
expresses himself satisfied with the new Governor-
General. There is no alarm elsewhere. British,
American, French, and perhaps Russian gunboats,
will remain at Tien-tsin during the winter."

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.-OXFORD
CHALLENGES CAMBRIDGE.

At a captain's meeting of the University Boat Club,
held yesterday at Oxford, it was unanimously re-
solved to challenge Cambridge to row the usual eight-oar
race in the spring. The day has not yet been chosen, but
it will probably be on or near April Ist. The trial eight-
oar race, which precedes the selection of the Oxford eight,
will take place on Friday next.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
A meeting to consider the duty of England in reference
to the demands of Russia, was held in the Town Hall,
Birmingham, under the presidency of the Mayor, last
night. Mr. James Anthony Fronde, Professor Thorold,
and Mr. Jacob Bright, M.P., were among the speakers.
The following resolution was unanimously passed :
" That while this meeting disapproves of the manner in
which the Russian Government has disclaimed
certain obligations entered into under the
Treaty of Paris, and condemns the abrogation
of any treaty unless by the consent of the signatories
thereto, it protests against an appeal to arms, considering
that the subject in dispute ought to be referred to a Euro-
pean Congress." A second resolution was also carried, to
the effect that the meeting entertained a profound con-
viction that the welfare of the people of this country was
identified with the maintenance of peace throughout the
world, and therefore emphatically condemned the conduct
of those who have been endeavouring to foment
war with Russia, and the meeting was further
of opinion that a foreign policy which corn -
mits the nation to the maintenance of treaties
having for their object the control of political
institutions and forces on the continent of Europe, was
inexpedient and dangerous, and that the reference of in-
ternational disputes to the wager of battle instead of to
arbitration, was a wanton and barbarous sacrifice of life
and treasure,

GARIBALDI.

One obstacle to Garibaldi's success as a leader of
irregulars in the present war, is the physical infirmity
which is rapidly coming upon him. his intellect is
as clear as ever, but age tells upon his vigour
of body: He finds great difficulty in moving
about 1 and a gentleman who has seen him says that
his infirmity is not wholly the consequence of his
wound. "If it were so he would limp with the lame
foot, and walk comparatively firmly with the other.
Whereas both seem almost equally infirm, and the
painful hobbling motion with which he just manages
to drag one foot after th 3 other for a few hundred
yards is the crippled motion, not of lameness, but of
infirmity and age." The spirit is willing, but the
flesh is weak.

Versailles. Ho tells me that if the Orleans army
should capitulate, Paris will be summoned to sur-
ren ler in three days. A clear statement of the po-
sition of France will be sent in to the Govern-
ment, and the following terms :—The Regu-
lar] and the Guard Mobile to be prisoners
of war. The National Guard and the Irregulars
to be disarmed and allowed to return into private
life. The forts, cannons, and munitions of war to
be given up. The regular garrison to march out
with the honours of war. If the surrender is
refused, the siege will be proceeded with in the

GENERAL WAR NEWS.

In an order of the day, dated the Ist, General
Aurelles de Paladine says:—" The Army of Paris
has forced the Prussian lines. General Ducrot, at
the head of his army, is marching towards us : let
us march to meet him with an enthusiasm of which
the Army of Paris has set us the example."
A decree has been issued in Paris forbidding the
newspapers to publish, nnder pain of suppression,
any military news save such as emanates from the
Governmeat.

A. decree has also appeared, authorizing the autho-
rities to take possession in the name of the Govern-
ment of all salt pork and prepared comestibles in the
shops of Paris.
M. Rochefort is doing duty as a simple artillery-
man in the National Guard.

THE W '!JR IN CENTRAL FRANCE.
BERLIN, December 1 (10.30 p.m.).
The following is an extract from the official re-
port, dated Versailles, 26th November :
" Nearly the whole of the forces at the disposal
of the French Government have been concentrated
between Blois, Tours. and Orleans. If defeated, they
will probably retreat to Lyons, which is strongly
fortified and provisioned.
"All around Orleans the country people, insti-
gated to fight by the priests, who have been ordered
by Bishop Dupanloup to preach a crusade, have
begun a guerilla warfare against the Germans.
"Patrols are fired at from every building and
every hedge. Officers carrying orders are shot down
by labourers, seemingly working in -he fields, but
provided with rifles ;Is well as spades. To avenge
these assassinations, all non-soldiers carrying arms
are immediately executed. Not a few priests are
now awaiting trial. The towns of Sens and Nemours
have been severely punished for conniving at the
surprise of Prussian detachments by Francs-Tireurs.
" On the 24th of nivember, at a reconnaissance
near Neuville, two Prussian battalions, two
squadrons, and one battery chased the enemy, who
was four times their number, to the very gates of
the town. Other reconnoitring detachments took
150 prisoners."
Colonel Lesczynslti, Chief of the Staff of the
14th Army Corps, publicly accuses General Barral,
who holds a command in the Loire army, of having
run aw ay after giving his parole when taken prisoner
at Strasburg.
Prussia has lent to the Strasburg Savings Bank
one million francs to assist the poor, whose deposits
were transferred to the French Exchequer.

MII. MACKONOCHIE'S EXPENSES.

An appeal, authorised by Mr. Mackonochie him*
self, has been made to the public for pecuniary
assistance in defraying that gentleman's legal fax"
penses. Mr. Howes, who states the case, says tbat
nearly the whole costs of the last appeal made
against Mr. Mackonochie by the Church Association
were paid out of his own private income; he is con"
sequently without the means of paying the costq
of his late condemnation by the Privy Council.
It is not yet known what these will bc't
but from the general experience of English lavo
courts, whether civil or ecclesiastical, it is not un-
reasonably presumed that they will be very heavy.
London, England, 1870-12-03

CIVILIAN BELLIGERENTS.

Some interesting particulars with. respect to the
rights of civilian belligerents were stated in a paper
which Mr. Droop lately read to the Juridical Society
He s ,awed it was a universally accepted principle
that non-combatants had a right t.) remain
at liberty in their own homes, but accord-
ing to the present international law the
invading belligerent had the same right as the
Government of the country to tax the inhabitants,
and take their property by requisition. He thought
it would be a great improvement if some convention
were made which compelled the belligerents to pay
a reasonable price for everything they took. If
the non-combatant population . enjoyed pro-
tection for their lives and property, a
corresponding duty devolved on them to abstain
from hostilities, and it was a serious offence against
the law for them to violate this duty. Mr. Droop
read some rules with reference to the conditions

under which irregular troops should be treated in the
same way as regular troops. It would be necessary
for them to be authorised by a legitimate
Government, and they must be directed by
officers who are responsible to the chief
authorities of the State i they must also
observe the rules of war. Levies en masse of the
whole population constituted legitimate combatants
if the above conditions were respected.
GENERAL CHANGARNIER AND MARSHAL, BAZAINE.
M. Granier de Cassagnac, whose name is familiar
to French journalism in connection with the Consti-
tutionnel and the Pays, has taken up his abode in
Brussels, where he has started a new journal, the
Drapeau, with the object of assisting an Imperialist
restoration in France. The Belgians do not fail to
remember that M. de Cassagnac has called their
country a den of bandits and has urged his Imperial
master to take possession of it. However, they

cannot, in compliance with their free prey A laws,
prevent him from starting what paper he likes. In
the first number of the
.Drape au M. de Cassagnac
makes especial reference to the conversation between
the correspondent of the Telegraph and General
Changarnier on the military character of Bazaine
and the fall of Metz, which several foreign papers
have quoted. The whole conversation, says M. de
Cassagnac, is purely Apocryphal and imaginary. The
General did not express the opinions attributed to
him about Metz, for the very simple reason that he
never saw the Telegraph correspondent at all. The
Independance Beige, in commenting on this abrupt
denial, says that it is a matter of secondary import-
ance whether the Telegraph, correspondent wrote
what he heard himself from the General, or
what was repeated to him by another. His
account was, in any case, perfectly accurate, as
everyone who has conversed with General
Chargainier since his arrival in Belgium can easily
attest. The veteran, it will be remembered, had in
this contested interview stigmatised Bazaine as in-.
competent and selfish.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the preseAt year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.
To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Hon. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

RUSSIA AND AMERICA.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Indepenclarce,
Beige tells an extraordinary story, the authenticity 0'
which he guarantees :--" The Emperor Alexander beg
just received an autograph letter from President
Grant, of the United States, in which the bead
Of the Executive in the Washington Republic
warmly congratulates him on his resolution to have done
with the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris which Prince
Gortschakoff denounces, and offers him formally the OF:
port of half the American fleet in case of conflict tvit',,
England. The letter says (this is almost textual) that at
the first word of Russia all the military marine 4,
the United States will be sent to the Mediterannean and
will assist the Russian vessels to force the passage of the
Dardanelles. The existence of President Grant's letter
is known to the English Government. It is since then
that the Cabinet of St. James began to shew itself more
compliant in respect to the question raised by the Cabinet
of St. Petersburg. On the other hand, strange rumour°

are current as to the real attitu le of Russia."

RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA.
An article in the Augsburg Allgenteine Zeitung positive!):
asserts that an entente cordiale exists between Russia an
Prussia. This article is very bitter upon the Prussi°
Government, and chews that the reports of a bad under"
standing between the Cabinets of Munich and Berlin are
not unfounded. " The gentlemen of the National Lib
ral party," it says, " will find themselves mistaken if the
_think they will be able to make short work of the ultrlv
aristocratic spirit of the Prussian regime, based as it is °Li
militarism. It is more than a calculating policy—it
a touch of internal sympathy—which has founded el
intimate an entente cordiale between the Cabinets 01
Berlin and St. Petersburg. It would certainly 11,24
be a national misfortune if in future it 02°0;
not be quite in the power of the King
Prussia to conclude alliances and declare War'
An alliance of Prussia with Russia has nothing but danger
for the internal development of Germany, and it 'nigh",
rapidly produce a European coalition against her." )3'll
that Prussia would be inclined to enter into one'
an alliance the writer thinks highly probable'
" Al.; the moment when German unity is
complete, Prussian royalty and its regime will lose their
popularity if they are unwilling to make concession;
to the demand of the German people for liberty. Thi:
demand could be evaded, and the Prussian Governinerl"
retain its present prestige, only so long as it diverts the
attention of the people to its action against enemies
abroad. It is therefore by no means impossible that 110
complications will be sought ; and such complications 03,1,
easily be created in the present state of EuroPe.
This is an important article, and the more so as it is be'
lieved to be inspired by the Bavarian Government.

SY➢IPATHY WITH THE POPE.

The dethronement of the Pope has called forth
opposition in Ireland from every Roman Catholic
clays of the people. At the demonstration in Dublin,
the Very Rev. Thomas Burke, who inherits some c'f.,
the oratorical powers of an illustrious ancestor, (quoted
from the speeches of two English statesmen, e2‘:
tracts favourable to the independence of the Paio.l
See. The reverend speaker said :—" When
Europe arose from her agony of 1814 her
rulers found it necessary, as well as Wise'
to restore Pius the Seventh to his throne. At this
period the Illustrious statesman, Mr. Pitt, said :

` On more than one occasion I have seen the Contieeir
tal Courts draw back before the divergences of 00.110115
and of religion that separate us. I think that a comra°'_'
bond ought to unite us all. The Pope slow). can be tlii!

by regrettable causes, might easily recover its lost pry
tige. . . . We are too ouch divided by person-
interests or by political views. Rome alone can raise.°
impartial voice. Rome, then, ought to speak accordAg
to the measure of her duties.' "
Lord Palmerston, " the bitterest enemy the Pore
ever had," was the second authority referred to. 011
the sth of January, 1849 he wrote to Lord Nor"
manly, then British Ambassador at Paris, cc It i 9
much to be wished that the Pope should be so-re-
reign of a territory of his own." Two months later
he wrote to the same ambassador in these words :-"*"
" Great Britain is indeed, a Protestant State, b 0
her Majesty has many millions of Catholic subjects;
and the British Government must, therefore, be'
desirous, with a view to British interests, that the
Pope sholild be placed in such a temporal positioa
as to be able to act with entire independence."

THE SUDDEN STORM.

A good many jokes have been cracked at the ex-
pense of Mr. Hammond, who told Earl Granville on
the sth of July that he had never before experienced
such a complete stagnation in foreign affairs. It
seems, however, that the English Foreign Office
was no more in the dark than kindred departments
in other countries. Baron Munch, at Berlin,
informed Count Beust on July 2nd that he had
visited the Prussian Minister, Herr von Thile, the
previous day, and found him rejoicing over the pro-
found tranquillity of the political world. Most of
the foreign representatives had left Berlin in conse-
quence, and • Baron Munch
.hoped soon himself to
make his annual trip to Marienbad. Yet this great
storm first broke on July sth.

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.

The French, like most nations, have serious
faults, but they possess divers good qualities, which
enable them to support the siege. of Paris better,
perhaps, than any other people would do. They
adapt themselves to circumstances. For example,

not only do the Parisians find little difficulty in
disposing of strange eatables which an Englishman
would not touch until at starvation point ; but it
appears from recent Paris letters that eccentric
foods are becoming a positive fashion. One gentle-
man reports that a leg of dog is dearer than
a leg of mutton ; a cat costs more than
a rabbit; rats are rapidly going up. This correspon-
dent says that he follows the mode, but complains
that his housekeeper has not been able to find him
anything more fashionable than assflesh. lie
hopes, however, soon to taste of rat, cat', and dog.
Happy the people who can thus make a fashion
of a necessity.

PROFESSIONAL LADIES.

The recent quarrel respecting the lady students of
the medical school at Edinburgh has given some ier
petus to the cause adopted by many aspiring women.
In the Scotsman sympathy is so far shewn with the
Edinburgh medical ladies, that the following quote'
tion from one of Sir Walter Scott'enovels has found
prominent place in that paper. The sentences are
from " Ivanhoe "

Rebecca lost no time in causing the patient to, be
transported to their temporary dwelling, and proceedea,_
with her own hands to examine and to bind up
wounds. The youngest reader of romances all
romantic ballads must recollect how often the females;
during the dark ages, as they are called, were initiate,'
into the mysteries of surgery. . . . The Jews, both
male and female, possessed and practised the medical
science in all its branches. , . . . The beautiful
Rebecca had been heedfully brought up in all the knout"
ledge proper to her nation, which her apt and powerful
mind ha,d retained, arranged, and enlarged in the course
of a progress beyond her years, her sex, and even the
age in which she lived. The attendant proceeded to
cover Ivanhoe's side, and the lovely Jewess satisfied herself
that the bandage was in its place and the wound doing
well. She performed her task with a graceful and clignifiel
simplicity and modesty, which might even in more civilise,'
days have served to redeem it from whatever might soul
repugnant to female delicacy,

AN INQUIRY WANTED.

Lieutenant-Colonel Sir R. Anstruther, ant
the Rev. S. Jenner, M.A. and J.P., the honorary
secretaries to the Royal School for Daughters of
Officers of the Army, have published an address to
the committee of that school, in which they explain
the reasons for their resignation, and reflect WY
seriously upon the management of the institution•
These gentlemen complain that they have vainly or
deavo-ured to stop the unguarded and extravagant
expenditure of the funds contributed by the
public. Among the instances of extrava-
gant expenditure noticed are £567 for
the construction of an underground passage to
enable the servant to open the front door without
passing through the dining room; £470 for
a gardener's cottage, and £2,411 for the building of
a wing to the school without the addition of a single
pupil. The spending of more money on a new and
costly London Institution when tho Bath school,
with its ZO pupils, has double the space of the
Richmond Naval Female School, with 89
pupils, is greatly to be regretted. The
expense of the education is another great
evil. The direct cost of the education of each girlie
£57 per annum, while the whole cost, direct a 43
indirect, is not less than £BO, -77.hereas in the naval
school the direct cost is £43. The young ladies are,
moreover, not instructed in practical domestic
economy, as laid down by the published rules. The
honorary secretaries having repeatedly protested
against these various errors, have at last decided on
laying the matter before the public.

Infantry, cavalry, and twelve guns. The attack
alroenced at two o'clock in the afternoon, and by

We expect another attack from the Prussians
`e"day.

AUTUN7 December 2.

2ens, did their duty.

RAILWAY COLLISION.

A collision occurred last night between the Leamington
and Birmingham passenger and a heavy mineral train on
the Hampton station on the London and North-Western
Railway. No one was killed, but several of the pas-
sengers were severely injured. The passenger train had
stopped to shunt some horse boxes, when the mineral
train came up and ran into it. The official s say that the
signals were fixed at danger ; this, however, is denied by
the driver of the mineral train.

THE FRENCH OFFICIAL REPORT.

The following official report has been published
by the Government at Tours :

" The Army of the Loire commenced on Thursday
'a general movement, concerted on the evening of
"the 30th ult., in consequence of instructions re-
Ceived from the Ministry of War. The first opera-
tions in pursuance of this plan have been
'favourable. A despatch of General Chauzy,
'Commander of the Sixteenth Corps, dated
?stay, Ist December, evening, says The 16th
(Corps left its position at ten o'clock on the morn-
ing of the Ist instant, and met the enemy on the
left strongly entrenched at Guillonville, Terminiers,
411 d Goniers. The fight lasted from• noon until
'ail p.m. Notwithstanding the energetic resistance
cif the enemy, comprising 20,000 infantry and
cavalry, and from forty to fifty guns, the
first division carried successfully the first positions of
the enemy, and afterwards Monneville, Villepain,
d Faverolles, where we bivouacked at night.
Everywhere our troops attacked the enemy
With irresistible elan. The Prussians were
'dislodged from the villages at the point of
the bayonet. Our artillery was handled with a
boldness and precision which I cannot praise
too highly. Our losses do not seem to have
been serious. Those of the enemy were considerable•
Prisoners are being brought in, among whom are
several officers. The honours of the day belong to
Admiral Jaureguiberry. The enemy retired in the
direction of Leigny and Chateau Cambray. I have
announced to my soldiers the groat news of the sortie

A. NEW TREATY OF PEACE.

The London correspondent of the Indepenclance Belge
says that in a few days 2. treaty of peace will be signed
between Prussia and the prisoner of Wilhelmeshohe. It
will have for its basis the renunciation of Lorraine by
Germany, with the exception of the dismantling of Metz,
and the surrender of Alsace by France, Prussia agreeing
that this province may, if desired, be neutralised by the Con-
gress which will doubtless assemble to sanction this new
arrangement of territory. There is also a question of
some changes" of territory in Germany itself, in
which Hesse and the Palatinate will take part.
The neutralisation of Alsace is to form part
of a pad which is to be erected between
France and Germany of which Belgium, Luxemburg, the
line of the Vosges, and Alsace will form part. Antwerp
is to be a free city. The consent of England is reckoned
on, even though compensation is to be given
to France out of the French territory. The
restoration of Napoleon himself is thought less
of by the Prussians than the establishment of
a regency, and efforts have been made to induce a distin-
guished military man who is greatly respected by all
parties to accept the regency, but he refused. Whether
these exact details are to be relied on or not, the fact that
some agreement of the kind has been come to is affirmed
in many quarters.
