LONDON, November 1.-The declin,
on the stock market Yesterday was il
consequence of a cabinet meeting called
for the purpose, as iss understood, o
considering what steps should be taker
in regard to the continued and formid
able armaments of Russia. 1t is stated
that Russia has now 500,000men under
arms, ready to take the field on tht
western provinces Of Europe. The
story Of secret treaty between Prus
sia and Russia relative to the Eastern
question, has been revived at Vienna
with much detail and a good deal Of
circumstantiality. 1t is now alleged
that in the event of a peace humiliating
to France, that Prussia has bound her
self by secret treaty, signed at Wies.
baden in July last between Gortschakotf
and Bismarck, to support revision by
Europe of the treaty of Paris, and the
liberation to Russia of the Black Sea
with Dardannelles. This is expected to
be the price demanded by Russia for
permitting Germany to move untram-
meled upon France.
1t is further affirmed that as Russia
does not care to leave the fulfilment OF
this treaty to the close of the war, she
is now insisting that, in a treaty with
France, Prussia shall not secure either
fortresses or a serious reinforcement Of
her strength on this side Of the Rhine,
the Russian diplomatists regarding it
as essential to the safety of Poland and
the progress of the Russian Empire
westward, that Germany should be left
more or less exposed to peril from the
side of France. In short, it is believed
in Vienna, and the signs are that it is
beginning to be believed in London, that
Russia having led Germany on this far
in the war until her primary object, the
prostration of France, has been accom-
plished even more completely than was
hoped or expected, has meanwhile been
preparing herself quietly and is now
prepared to exert such a pressure on
both combatants as shall secure to her
all her objects in the east without i'm
periling her European weight.
LONDON, November 1.-The Indepen-
dsnce Beige at Brussels derives from an
officer who escaped from Metz, and
from the Moselle Independence published
at the time of the entry Of the German
troops, the fact that the French leaders
deceived the army by promises to cut
their way out These promises were
solemnly repeated even while negotia-
for the surrender were pending
The Independence Beige says Gambet-
ia was unquestionably right in charging
Bazaine with high treason. The popu-
lation of Metz were unanimous in de-
nouncing Bazaine as traitor. After
the capitulation had been agreed upon,
the people followed the Marshal
through the streets bowling the epithet
traitor !" in his ears.
At Tours the news Of the capitulation
of Metz fell upon the Government and
people like thunder bolt, so strong
had been official assurances Of its safe
ty. Some of the journals, however,
and notably the Constitutionale Francois
and Gazette de France demand suspen'
sion of judgment and deprecate the
strong language of Gambetta's procla-
nation condemning Bazaine. The lat
ter journal suggests council of war to
investigate the matter in order to give
the Marshal an opportunity to make his
defense.
The Government at Tours is in re-
ceipt OF several memorials numerously
signed in adjacent departments urging
a prosecution Of the war to the bitter
end and denouncing Bazaine for his
reasonable surrender OF the strongest
fortifications of the nation. Bazaine
and suite reached Cassel on Monday.
Generals Canrobert, Mcmahon, lie
Beouf, Baideller and Hauptmann were
hourly expected there.
The German authorities have given
orders that the soldiers from Alsace and
Lorraine who were captured at Metz
as we'll as those who may hereafter be
taken, be separated from the other
prisoners, as such will be regarded as
Germans and not French.
One corps of the army lately invest
ing Metz has been detailed to escort the
prisoners to Germany, two corps viii
90 forward to join the armies around
Paris, and the other four will be divided
between the two armies now operating
in the North and South of France.
LONDON, November 1.-The Tine
has a telegram from Versailles an
nouncing that Theirs passed through
on Sunday on his way to Paris, anC
was to return on Tuesday. The gen
eral impression at London is that
owing to the surrender Of Bazaine, moth
ing is likely to come of these nesotla
tions.
LONDON, November 1.-The English
dispatch recommending the holding o
elections for members Of the Constitu
ent Assembly Immediately, has reaches
the Prussian headquarters. The Prus
sian authorities had already sent sim
liar suggestions to Paris.
