The Surrender of Napoleon Confirmed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The following tele-
gram was received at the State Department
this morning from Minister Motley, dated
London, Sept. 81
''The Emperor Napoleon surrendered yes
terday at Sedan to the King of Prussia. The
whole French army at Sedan are prisoners of
war. MOTLEY"
The following has also been received, ad-
dressed to the Secretary of State:-
'LoNDoN, Saturday, 1'l5 P. M.-The
Emperor and MacMahon's army surrendered
at Sedan to the King. The Emperor's resi-
dence is to be appointed by the King after
an interview with him. The capitulation

stead of MacMahon, who was wounded.
''MoTLEY, Minister, London"
The News Of the G
LONDON, Sept. 3-Noon.-The news of the
surrender of the Emperor and MacMahon's
army has created great excitement, and anxiety
is universal to learn whether this surrender in
wolves q cessation of hostilities and unresisted
occupation of Paris.
Sensible TO the Last.

morning represents courageously every event of
the campaign as success of the Emperor.

How Paris Is Deceived.
1t is really believed in Paris that MacMahon is
acting on the offensive and that on Thursday he
destroyed the Prussian left, obliging the Crown
Prince to fall back on the hills of Argonne.
HIacNIahon's Fatal Errors.
LONDON, Sept. 3.-The Times this morning
says MacMahon, by a series of errors, has COM
promised the last chance of retrieving the for
tunes of France.
Resume of Events on the Frontier.
From a chaos of unintelligible and conflicting
kilograms we gather that MacMahon was pro-
ceeding to the relief of Metz, when he was en-
countered and driven back by the Germans, who
pursued him SO closely and constantly that col
lisions were inevitable. Hence conflicts have
been reported all the week.
There was serious work at Sedan on Tuesday
when MacMahon was perched on the heights of
Vaux, near Carignan. Thither came the EN-
peror on Tuesday, and on that day $4,000 OF
MacMahon's army was attacked between
Mouzon and Moulins. This was the first battle
of Beaumont, reported by King William to the
Queen The French were driven over the
Meuse to Mouzon, and the encounter on The
other bank of the river became general.
The French were expelled from Vaux,
and only faced about on Wednesday between
Douzy and Bazailles, with the Meuse and Cher
between them and the enemy, and severe en-
gagement occurred. The Prussians turned the
French right, necessitating retirement on
| Sedan before which they again renewed the
fight on Thursday, when they were driven into
| that fortress.
