HOW TEE NEWS OF M'MAHoN's sURRES-
DER WAS RECEIVED IN BERLIN,
BERLIN, Septem Der 3.-The receipt OF
tue news that tn Emperor and Me Mahon

A surging crowd assembled before

THE war news received yesterday
Is of the most disastrous character,
and if il does not Immediately result
in a suspension of hOstilities, must
certainly hasten that end. The sur
render Of MeMahon's army has sealed
NapoIeon's fate. The Emperor linked
his fortunes to it from the first and
staked all upon its efforts. He goes
with it into captivity, never, as we
believe, to sway the scepter Of France
again. He has been regarded by
all the powers Of Europe as astsndiBg
menace to their peace. His great ef-
forts in behalf of the material welfare
Of his countrymen were considered as
much of crime as those of his uncle to
adjust to his own notion the balance
of power by distributing the crowns
of Europe TO his brothers. England,
Austria, Russia nor Prussia can forget
the royal soldier who sleeps on the
banks Of the Seine, and they will has
ten to punish his greatness in the per-
son of his successor and ostracise
the Bonaparte family from the
"ring'7 of European Princes. Our
sympathies so with the fallen states
man who for twenty years has con-
trolled and managed the affairs Of
France with an eye single to the vel
fare of her people. We cannot forget
his generous help OF Turkey in her
sick days; his help OF Italy when in
the thrOes and agonies Of new birth,
nor that he always worked in the in
terest of a peace he never was the first
TO break. We sympathize, too, with
his wile-the true woman, who
rising superior to adversity knows
how to administer, even TO
princes, the law of one of the
fairest lands in ChristendOm. We
sympathize, most, however, with the
French people, called upon as they
have been to bear all the burdens of
bloOdy war, just as they were reach
ing the height ofthe grandest success in
manufactures and material prosper
ity. We remember them as
lovers of liberty, as leaders in civiliZa-
ton, and among the braves of the
world; as sympathizers with the
South when she confronted the hosts
of her enemies, and we feel, at the
surrender of Mcmahon, only less sOr-
rowful than when Lee sealed the
fate of the COnfederaey by his en-
forced surrender at Appomatix Court
House. But all is not lost for France.
She has yet other armies in the field,
and other and as able generals as Nc
Mahon. Those in Paris who are
charged with the administration of
her affairs may yet wrest victory
from the jaws of defeat. In
any case, we hope the threat
of the English press will
be verifed-that under no circum-
stances viii Prussia be permitted to
possess herself of one foot of French
territory-and that the combined
voice of the civilized world viii be
lifted against any attempt to foist a
Bourbon upon the throne so ably
filled by the unfortunate Louis Ma
poleon BOnaparte. Prussia is great
and can afford to be generous.

NEW YORK.
Sad Condition Of Chief Justice Chase.

NEW YORK, September 3.-The World
says that the parslytic stroke fell on Chief
Justice Chase several days ago at the coun-
try residence of his son-in-law, Senator
Sprague, on Narragansett bay. He is un-
able. to walk without assistance, and his
mind seems shattered and impaired. The
health of the Chief Justice has been visi-
bly, declining for many months. A gem
tleman from this city, whose business
called him to ths Supreme Court during
its last session, remarked to his
friends on returning that he
was struck with his changed appear
ance and at the visible marks
of premature old age. Those who visited
him at his house noticed that he had lost
the elastic tread and his old habit of as
cending two stairs at q time. 1t Is not
generally known that few weeks since
the Chief Justice, while passing through
this city, had sudden attack of severe
illness, and was obliged to remain in his
room at the hotel for several days unable
to continue his journey. That he should
be attacked by paralysis surprises none
who know with what intense assiduity
he has applied himself to public affairs
during the last decade. -.

ANOTHER FRENCH ARMY 500, 600 STRONG.
PARIS, September 3.-No official. in
formation received to-day from the armies
on the northeast. The battles for the past
few days are generally considered unde-
cisive, though losses on both sides have
been very great. The majority Of the
Journals here look upon the attack on
Paris aE impossible, now that the PTus-
SLAMS are not able to leave with Mcmahon
and BazSine and their immense forces in
their rear. Paris, with the formidable
preparations she has lately made, would
require all the forces the Prussians could
bring against her, The Prussians could
hardly hope for even partial success with
out exerting their utnaOst strength.
It is well understood now in Germany
that Paris, instead of making peace, wall
defend itself to the last extremity, which
will account for the Prussian change OF
plans.
Il is ascertainsd that an encampment of
men, between the ages of twenty-five and
thirty, in few days will give new force
of 300 900 men to the national army.
The ministry has instructed commit
tee of ssvans, who will act in concert
with the military authorities, for the pur-
pose of applying TO the defense Of Paris

INTELLIGENT ACCOUNT OF THE PRUssIAN
NOV EMEST.

INTELLIGENT ACCOUNT OF THE PRUssIAN
MOVEMENT.
BERLIN, September "a letter from
Metz, Of the ID inst, gives the following
information:
Since. the engagement ct Gravellotte,
twelve days have passed without giving
the French an opportunity to leave the
saddle. The army, in such q case, is
necessarily demOrslized, and unable to
oppose the Germans or prevent their Sc
curing chosen position. The beleaguered
army, with its numerous wounded at the
garrison Of the city and suburban refugees,
must aggregate 100000 souls; fevers are
increasing, as necessary consequences,
and accompanied with want and suffer-
ing. Bazaine must have counted on the
arrival of Mcmahon to relieve this misery;
this bias been prevented by the Prussian
movements. The first thought of the
Prussians was that Mcmahon was hasten
ing to the defense of Paris; but it was
also heard that he might, by h1gging to
the Belgian frontier, march secretly
back to Metz, where Bazaine was
cOOped up, and attack the Prus-
SLAMS in the rear, with the cooperation
of Bazaine; hence the advance of the
Prussians in three great columns, sweep
ing the extended line of the Belgian from
tier from along the Meuse to the Aube,
completely shutting out Mcmahon from
Metz. The suspicion on the part of the
Prussisns that Mcmahon had gone from
Rheims nortbward toward the Belgian
border, seemed to be confirmed from the
following circumstances: A Saxon cav
airy regiment in the north overlook 3
regiment of Chasseurs d'Afrique. The
Saxons Immediately gave them battle,
and after a short and sharp encounter de-
feated them. These chasseurs were then
found to belong to General Failly's corps,
of McMahOn's army. From this the proxi-
nifty of McMahon's army was inferred.
This news was dispatched prior to
the Imperial surrender. The letter con-
cladss as follows: McMahon's fate viii be
Immediately decided II VIII then be
ascertained whether the Emperor Is really
with him or not. The fate of Paris may
be predicted.
