The Capttulat1O1 Of TOul-Its 0arrt-
son RidieulOusly Sanli.

The special correspondent of the New York
Tribune at the headquarters Of Prince Fred
erick Charles, telegraphs via Alton Tuesday -
81 have just returned from Toul, travelling one
day and two nights. The investment OF that
city began August IL. On the 10th assault
WAS made on the works at potut not defended
by cannon; II was repulsed with the loss of sew
eral hundred Germans. Thereafter an irregular
succession Of bombardments followed, beginning
on the 23d, but they were not sufficiently serious
TO effect anything, the artillery employed being
OF the held service, together with such medi-
eyal siege guns as had been captured az Marsal.
Within the last fortnight heavy siege guns
which had arrived from Germany were put i'm
position. Nothing serious was then attempted
until last Friday, when at daybreak a concen-
uated bombardment of the works was begun by
2i-pounder batteries OF the I'd and ith artillery
regiments, supported by troops Of the 3ith
infantry brigade. All these form part OF a ne W
independent command, under the Grand Dr.
Of Mecklenburg -Schwerin, embracing all the
forces lying between the armies of Frederick
Charles and the Crown Prince; that is, all the
troops OF the invasion not engaged in the sieges
OF Metz and Paris. The firing continued all
Friday, with an active but very ineffective
reply from the garrison. In the evening, the
town being on fire in . places, the pressure OF
the inhabitants upon the commander induced
him to hoist the white Tag andoff TO capitulate
The offer was Immediately accepted by Colonel
Manteuffel, commanding the siege corps, and
the town was entered At p. m. The conditions
OF surrender were precisely those Of Sedan.
The garrison was ridiculously small. IL con-
sisted Of 60 cuirassers 100 troops of tue line 40
gendarmes, and 2 900 raw Garde Mobile. There
was not one artilleryman among them. The
commandant was Major Huck, an old cavalry.
man. The German officers are indignant that
SO small force should have 'lockAded for six
weeks the railroad TO Paris, so essential for
transportation-in fact, the only line. Now the
railway is complete, communicating directly
with the Paris siege army.
