Parfs-The French View.
Gambetta has issued congratulatory
proclamation to the people, citing the new
evidences of courage just given by the
Parisians. He says they are demanding
every day to be led on sortie against the
enemy. They have already driven the
Prussians from Stains, Dugny, Pierrefitte,
JoJnville, Bibageny, Creteil, Basemeudon
and St. Cloud. The North of France is
active since the glorious affair at ST. Quin-
ten. The formal siege of Scissors and
Verdun has commenced. The fact has
already been developed that both for
tifications are well supplied with artillery
and experienced gunners. .t.r-
Paris-The German View.
Lieut.. Gen. De Brier, the Baden Minis
ter of War, has been appointed to the
command of the Baden contingent
The Prussian earthworks before Fort
Mont Valerien are irksome to the French
garrison, whose fire is incessant. The
Germans are generally passive, and will
remain so until all the preparations for a
general bombardment are completed.
The sorties of the French at Paris have
all been successfully repealed. A siege
train of heavy guns has arrived before
Paris from Germany.

Calamities Predicted TO Germany
A General European Revision
Feared.
LONDON, Oct. 14.-The journals, with
one accord, predict calamities to Germany
if she persevere in insisting on the cession
of Alsace and Lorraine, and continuing
the war. The savage character the war
is assuming in burning of villages, and
the shooting of scores of peasantry for
defending their homesteads, is causing
violent revolution of feeling here. The
proclamation adjourning the elections for
members of the Constituent Assembly
was a Bismarck canard. Gambetta
brought no decree with him on the sub
ject, and no such decision arrivedIat Tours.
The latter city is becoming rendezvous
for Republicans from all parts of the
world. The Fenlan movement in that
direction is causing unessiness to the
government here. The policy of European
cabinets to localize the war is likely to
produce just the opposite effect. The
English apprehend q general European
CONFUSION, and the Prussians are incur
ring general indignation for provoking
the danger. England is quietly preparing
for the storm. While refusing to aug
ment her military expenses, the govern
ment is putting her sea coast defenses in
an impregnable condition.
bismarck Anxious for Peace.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-The Worlds Yer
sailles correspondent states that Bismarck
has caused an intimation to be conveyed
to London, st. Petersburg and Vienna
that Intervention to secure peace would be
acceptable now to Prussia.
The conclusion was reached by the
council of war yesterday that Paris can
not be successfully attacked, but must be
reduced by siege of many months dura-
ton.
VIII the Siege of Metz be Raised
The advance of the French army of
rumors are current that the siege of that
city will be raised.
Bismarck received representations from
many parts of Germany that the people
arc anxious for peace. Bismarck has au-
thorized the Prussian Minister at Brussels
to give the great powers to understand
that Germany is willing to propose set
tlement on the basis of the disarmament
of frontier provinces, the rectif1cation of
the frontier line of Rhenish provinces,
and a small money Naturalization be
given.
At a stormy meeting of the British
Cabinet the Marquis Harrington demand
ed Intervention for the integrity of French
territory.
The rumored proposal of Count Bis
marck to reconstruct the holy alliance is
regarded here as equally false and absurd.
The GaribaIdis.
Menotte Garibaldi has arrived at Mar
settles, on his way to Tours. Riccioli is
also expected. Csusio, son-in-lsw of
Garibaldi, has already arrived.
Gen. Beauregard. s

peror advised its renewal to the ProvIs-
ional Government.

mander. II
