from Alsace and Northern Lorraine, who are
regarded as Germans, from the other French
prisoners.

"Seventhly, anything presenting a doubt in the
Preceding articles will be interpreted in favour of the
French.' o
Metz is now entirely occupied by the Prussians.
The town was greatly agitated at the publication
of the articles, and an endeavour was made to excite
the National Guard to revolt. The tocsin was
sounded, and many officers took part in the proceed-
ings, but no general caine forward to head the move-
ment, and the populace was dispersed by the French
troops—their last act in Metz.
Marshal Bazaine has issued a general order averring
that famine, and not the enemy, has caused the sur-
render of the town. General Collinibres, the com-
mandant of the town, acknowledges the loss of
42,000 men during the siege. The Mayor and Coun-
cil of the town state that all the blame of the failure
rests with the military.
Proclamations were issued yesterday and to-day
to the French soldiers and to the inhabitants, com-
manding those among the former who had not sur-
rendered themselves as prisoners to do so within 24
hours, or they would be arrested and tried by
Martial law, and exhorting the inhabitants to
E.4l3nlit quietly to the Prussian occupation, and
not molest the soldiers, under pain of death ;
lforbidding the assembling of more than 10 persons
In the streets ; and promising that the property of
private individuals should be respected. The
Inhabitants are also ordered to surrender all arms
Tid ammunition, and the penalty of death is
,
()creed for any infringement of these orders, which
Include the illumination of all houses by night in
ease of surprise.

Prussians entered the town in silence, under a
black
sky and a pouring rain. Tley massed them-
selves in the Place des Armes, playing national
:ire, and have now taken possession of the public
faeee and of the railway ; and the greater part of
Lorraine,, is now thoroughly Prussian. Thus ends
bee seventy
days' siege of Metz.
