/ WASHINGTON, September 5.-Min-
lister Washburne telegraphs to the
Department of State that the en-
pire is ended and that the excitement
is intense in Paris.
The following is a special to the
EUeTaing Telegram:
PARIS, September 5.-The Empress
Eugene having received assurances
from the Prussian Government that
she will not be treated as a prisoner,
has consented to join her husband and
son, who has also surrendered with
his father at Sedan. She will leave
| for Prussia as soon as her arrange
ments can be perfected.
General TrOchu will be at once
made temporary dictator, and Paris
will be defended to the last.
A dispatch dated Brussels, Septem-
ber 3, received in this city this morn
ing, states that twelve thousand
| French troops, with cannon, eagles
and twelve hundred horses had
crossed the Belgian frontier and laid
down their guns.
A demand has been made upon
Montmedy for the surrender of that
town and the garrison, which was re-
| fused.
Another dispatch dated Carlesruhe,
September 8, states that on the pre-
viOus day the cellars at Strasbourg
had been inundated by the rising of
the Rhine, causing great suffering and
destruction of property. The magni-
ficent Cathedral, which was so much
admired by tourists, is certainly par
TALLY destroyed.
PARIS, September 5, p. NIT is
now impossible to reach the Corps
Legislatif, owing to the enormous
crowds surrounding the building.
"A reported vote on decheance has
been carried by yeas 1856; nays, none.
The people are wild with excitement
and are rushing through the streets
bearing piacards with the votes
of the Corps Legislatif inscribed
thereon. Shouts of "vive Ia Repub.
Iique" are heard on ali
sides. Regiments passing into the
city are received by the pOpulace with
deafening shouts Of "ViVe la Legne,"
"Vive la Republique." The National
Guards reversed their arms as the
regular troops passed US, sign of
amity. The troops are singing ga
Mourir Pour la Patrie." The scene is
one of indescribable excitement. Ru-
mors of all kinds are in circulation,
and it is impossible TO ascertain their
formation, but one sentiment seems
to be paramount, for resistance to the
invasion. AL nations to the rescue,
shout the people, and the troops join
enthusiastically. The Garde National
say order must be preserved. The
people evince but little desire to Gre
ate trouble. All seem Overjoyed at
the vote of Defiance.
LATER.-CrowdS are beginning to
tear down the Imperial arms from the
front of shops. There are fears that
thislmay lead'tO serious trouble, as the
National Guard is not inclined to
permit any disorder.
1880 p.m.-The city now presents
the most imposing popular display
ever witnessed. One hundred thou
sand armed citizens are marching to
the Corps Legislatif to surround
the building, amid phrensied
hurrahs OF countless masses
which are filling an easy avenue
leading to the hall. There are no
symptoms of disorder yet, only an
unanimous expression of popular will.
Before the residence of Gen. Trochu,
in the Louvre, there is a mass of people
waiting the return of GOar. Around
the Tuileries is strong military force
ono arrafyast oax- V.noGi ihla hilrNla
of popular indignation. Hundreds of
thousands of citizens are still pushing
toward the Corps Legislatn. The
Place de la COncorde is one mass of
human beings.
4:30 p.m.-At the departure of the
deputies from the Corps Legislatif,
a scene OF enthusiasm took place
around the building of the National
Guard, fraternizing with the troops
and people. Thousands of Guards
rushed into the hall, but were per-
suaded to retire by Nj. Gonshella, who
seems to have great influence over the
people. Crowds were outside sing
ing the Marseillaise and shouting
for Republic. There is in
tense excitement, and a constant
noise of voices that browns all
other sounds. There were no
dangerous elements visible until the
crowd reached Mt. Castlegione, where
they began tearing down Imperial
arms and tearing from the flags of the
NatiOanl Guards the golden eagles of
France, and from walls and signs the
medals bearing the Imperial effigy.
Soldiers have also joined in these
demonstration. The National Guard
have beat to arms, to repreSs disorder
if it takes 3 more serious turn. Quiet
citizens are becoming impressed with
the idea that there may be danger, as
the mob is becoming more and more
excited.
PARIS, September 5.-An interview
has taken place between Napoleon
and the King of Prussia, for the pur-
pose of deciding upon the future res
idence of the Emperor. One of the
German fOrtresses was decided upon,
probably Mayence.
There is so much confusion in the
city, and such immense crowds about
the Corps Legislatif, that it is impos-
sible, at present, to get faithful ac-
counts of the business transacted by
the deputies.
1t is now reported, and on good au-
thOrity, that the members of Gauche
and Centre Gauche are discussing the
| Provisional Government, and naming
the following persons in connection
with the new Government: Jules
Favre, Gambetta, Jules Simon,
| Keatry, Picard, Pettian aud Jules
Ferry.
LONDON, September 5.-Verduna and
Montmedy still hold out against the
| Prussians. The bOmbardment of
Strasbourg continues vigorously, and
much damage has been inflicted. The
| splendid cathedral was partly burned
/ and the wonderful astronomical
was badly injured.
There is a freshet on the Rhine.
The water is very high, and many
dwellings in the neighborhood OfStras-
| bourg are washed away.
PARIS, September 5.-The oecupa-
ton of Rome, by Italian troops, is ex-
pected Immediately.
PARIS, September 5, 5 p.m.-The

soldiers of all regiments mix among
the people unarmed, and are shouting
Vive La Republique from the entrances
and windows OF all the barracks.
