cd. they offered him gross personal
indignity for political reasons, it Was
great outrage: which should he sc.
vcrciy punished. If this be so, Mr.
Boozcr owes it to the public peace
and good order TO prosecute tho often

"MORT A BAZAINE I.

correspondent OF the Manchester Guardian
writes from Bordeaux as folows:-
cans whom @ found to be stiii anxious % about the
fate OF Metz One man assured us that he had seen
telegram Mt the Prefecture announcing that Ba-
Zaine had capitulsted with arms and baggage. What
became OF this misguided individual am afraid to
think, but saw him borne Off by the populace who
talked of hanging him to the first lamp-post After
fearful crash we scrambled into the theatre which,
vast as it is was completely filled to overlooking
with men and womeH OF every rank. The
curtain was up and the stage covered with chairs.
AT the appointed time the orators OF the place
SCENE followed e An eoaueSs a CITIZEN e
stepped towards the f0otlighs, and with great emo
tion announced that The .infamous traitor Bazaine
had surrendered MeIz with an army of i26 900 men
SO astounded were the audience that for second
not sound was heard. But then, as II by one i'm
pulse, the whole house stood up and literally roared
out its Indignation Mobile sitting next to me- drew
his sword and waved it about dstractedly, joining
In the cry OF horror. Men threw up their hands and
shouted, and women tore of their bonnets and
snreked in very rage. The orator. fired by the effect
himself heard, but could not, and eat down
exclaimng Mort a Bazdine!" This was i'm me-
as Gag up sna and tfee
pairs Of arms were extended as IL to tear the traitor
TO pieces. SO dramatic scene l never before wit
messed When the excitement had somewhat sub.
sided, extraordinary means OF defense were pro-
pounded In feverish language, and voted unani.
mOusy. 1t was decided that deputation should be
sent to the Prefect, and should obtain from him an
immediate revocation of all the functonaries ap.
pointed by the empire as 1t was declared impossi-
BILE to save the country till all the traitors had been
god rid OF. 1t was further resolved that the
authorities should be forced, II necessary, to
take immediate steps to organize a practical
leuee as for the infamous traitor
BazaiRe, there was but one thing for him--the
guillotne, "Yue la guiLlotine!" J" echoed the whole
| house. When the meeting broke up rush was
made for the Prefecture, and the resolutions
adopted laid before the Prefect OF the Republic
who, after some hesitation, came to the balcony and
promised that the will OF the people should be law
| and soon as Gambetta had been consulted every
| man should start for the army. A disturbance oc
Cured in the street, but the rain was not favorable

ever not natural to the good citizens Of Bordeaux
and by the time you read this they have probably
got back to their normal state.

DE PALADINES.
The Victor Of Orleans and, Who He IL.


General Aurelles de Paladnes, the Victor Of Or
leans, is now ftythree years OF age. He honorably
served for many years In the armies OF his country
and his services in Algeria TWENTY-FIVE years ago,
when he was quite young man. were enthusiastic
cally complimented by that true gentleman and
preua cavalier, General Cavaignac.
When the agents OF Bonaparte, previous to the
coup d'etdt of December g. 1851, left no stone un-
turned TO secure the assistance OF as many talented
young colonels and generals OF the army as possibe
Aurelles de Paadines lent deaf ear to their fatal
insinuations, and as consequence, he has ever
since remained subject OF distrust to the Bona
partist Court While such men as Canrobert, Vail
liant, Magnan, and Random were promoted to Mar
sbalshps Aurelles de Paladnes could not rise above
the rank OF a simple brgadier
This was his position in the army when the en-
piIe collapsed. After all the humiiating defeats OF
The French armies he found himself under the COM
maDd OF one OF the meanest and most corrupt tools
OF the second empire, the so-called General de la
Motterouge, who allowed himself to be beaten by
an enemy whose strength was less than half Of his
own.
The Provisional Government at Tours saw finally
that, if it would gain victories 1t must look for
generals who honestly loved their country, and
united to their patriotism the ability to handle large
bodies Of troops
And 80 they entrusted to General Aurelles de Pala-
dimes an important command: and to him is due the
honor OF having been the first to turn the tide OF
general French disaster. L
According to a cable telegram from Tours, pub
lished this morning, General Paladines has been
app >inted Commander Chief OF the army OF the
Loire, as reward for the success achieved by him.
