leon. He says:

PARIS AND PEACE.
Wednesday, sept. Further details of
the revolution at Paris and the situation
OF the French armies represent order as
being extracted from chaotic confusion
Marshal Bazaine was locked up in Metz
snd capitulation was only question of
hours. The reserved intended for his re-
lief were falling back on Paris, against
which the Prussians were pressing in i'm
mense hords-being on Tuesday within
three days march of the capital. The has
ty machinery of the Republic was in oper-
alton; every emblem of the empire had
been obliterated, and 100000 Frenc hmen
were in arms for the defense of France.
The Orleans Princes, disappointed of
the throne, have offered their services to
the Republican government Victor Hugo,
and other exiles, had returned and sworn
allegiance to the new order of affairs.
Lord Lyons, England's minister at Paris,
has been instructed by his government to
recognize the Republic. Similar action
had been taken by the Republican cleft"
of the Spanish Cortes; and it is announced
from Washington, that the United States,
through the President, will make like proc
lamation at once.
Rumors of peace on the basis of the
withdrawal of the German armies from
France, are again afloat.
This condition appears to be the senti-
ment of the French people, and it is de-
clared in all quarters that demand for
the surrender of French territory will only
be followed by further resort to arms.
But the question of peace will most
probably be decided under the walls of
Paris, whether the armies are tending, and
where events must eliminate at last.
THE LATEST.
Thursday, Sept. S.-The situation in
France develops nothing new, save that
the Prussian advance is still heading to-
wards Paris. The new Republic is already
reported in the throes of dissolution, and
the army mutinous.
Besides the threatened appropriation of
Alasca and Lorraine by Prussia, the gov
| eminent has another trouble on hand
Nice and Savoy tits said, wish to be restored
to Italy, and will insist on it. Besides
territory, Prussia demands indemnity.
There is great political agitation in Aus
tria, with South Germany. Revolution is
emminent in Italy, and strong Republican
movements are on foot in Spain. King
William has gone to Berlin, and there are
