bard like sword, and this city, which yesterday
was Sybaris, tomorrow may be Saragossa"
George Sand salutes the new regime in the fol-
lowing words "The Republic! She must have life

voice of ALL by the will, of which she is worthy.

New York Herald. IA flag of truce left Strasburg
yesterday, conveying a proposition for surrender
sation of hostiliies, the French garrison of 1000
men to leave the citadel, which is to remain in the
hands of France, but will be pledged, however, to
fire no gun, and take no part in the present war;
the remainder of the garrison to be released. the
officers bearing their side arms; the Prussans to
hold possession of the city. The terms were imme-
diateiy rejected, and the unconditional surrender
of the city and fortress demanded, the garrison to
be released on parole and suffered TO wear their

fused, except for women and children A supply
commander was allowed forty-eight hours to

sanguine that the negotiations thus far have neces-
sarly been informal; that in answer to the urgency
of the French Minister Russia intmates that she

hostile steps against Prussia, unless in con uncton
with Austria or some other Power.
"Engand'srefusal to interfere is partly traceable
to the personal influence of the Queen to whom
Gladstone comedies much; partly to Granvile's
arstocratic aversion to Republic, partly to inti-
nations from Prussia that no neutral interference
would now be influential"
