Peace Negotiations, =.

Now that the largest portion of the French
armies in the field has surrendered to King
WILLIAM the First, and the defeated Emperor
himself has laid his sword at the feet of his
Prussian Majesty" the othcrpowers of Europe
will, no doubt, make serious efforts to prevent
further bloodshed and TO bring about a peace
between France and Germany
The King OF Prussia, it would seem, might
be content with tho unparalleled triumph of
his armies. The German nation, too, highly
excited as it is known to be in regard to this
great struggle with its Gaelic neighbors, and
deeply imbucd, as it also is, with the convic-
ton that tho triumph of the German arms
must be followed up until the Falherland Is
safe for ages to come from further aggrcssons
on the part of France and until the latter is
definitely cured Of the idea that she has right
to meddle with The domestic aliairs ofGermany
it may be thought, might in this hour of the
greatest triumph its brave soldiers have ever
achieved, be generous toward its vanquished
foes, and not insist on humiliating the French
people too deeply by insisting upon il that no
treaty Of peace can be concluded outside of
Paris
But, hero the question arises what French
authorities shall the King of Prussia negotiate
with 7 With the Yanquished Emperor Ma
polron Why, he has been mere cipher

armies With the Empress Eugene and her

The Advance upon Paris Resumed,

AT daylight on the morning after the
surrender of MacMahon's army at Sedan,
the forces Of the Crown Prince of Prus-
sia resumed their march upon Paris.
Without an enemy between them and
the Capital, this march will be Il mere
promenade to the Veterans whom the
rapid pursuit of MacMahon from Worth
to Sedan could not break down. The
ADVANCE of the main column will now,
doubtless, be by the valley of the Aisne,
stead of that of the Aube, forty miles
further South, through which the Prus-
slams were moving prior to the defiec-
ton north in pursuit of MacMahon.
Paris is distant from Sedan by the Aisne
Valley not more that l70 miles, or about
ten days march. The route lies through
the richest of the campaigne country, a
district which has not yet been despoiled
by either army. There will be little
need to halt for provisions, and within a
week the cavalry of the Crown Prince
will be before tile gates OF the French
Capital. Indeed, large bodies of German
troops have been in camp for more than
a week about Epernay and Sczanne, less
than 80 miles from Paris, These troops,
il ordered to advance simultaneously
with the infantry of the Crown Prince,
may before Paris by the Sth inst, at
turthest.
AT Paris the cry is still for defense.
This blind range is natural under the eY-
citing circumstances. The Parisians
have only just awakened to a knowledge
of the deception practieed upon them,
and the humiliation they have suffered.
After few days, reason will resume her
sway. The popuace will understand
how hopeless is tho defense they now
demand. They will comprehend. also,
humiliations, are those of the dead En-
pire, not Of the rcjuvenated Republic
and that their new leaders may lister
with honor and with confluence to propo
silions of peace from magnanimous foe
There is at present evidence neither OF f;
disposition TO yield nor of n determine
tion to renew the fight, With the Re
gency aud its Ministers. deception ant
boasts alike have passed away.
One action OF Gen. Trochu, on whom
the defense nov rests, has Significance
which shonld not be overlooked. Whel
the advance of the Prussisns threatened
Paris, week ago, the suburban resident,
along the eastern approaches To The city
were ordered to remove, that their house,
might he pulled down, to give the aril
lery unrestricted play. Gen, Trochu
since the surrender OF MaCMahon, ha
countermanded this order, snd has di
rected the people TO re'aain Ia thei
homes until farther orders. The eiPcum
stance is trivial one, perhaps, but "!
cannot resist the beliet that il is mean
as the frst intinlation that there will be
can he, no defense of Pans.

en- members, Cremieux and Gai nier Pa
ges, were also Ministers IL ls4s, and Gre
mieux held then the same portfolio Jus
tice) which he holds now. A third mem
ber, Emmanuel Arago, is son of anoth-
er member Of the Government Of lS4S.
jules Favre was, in ls4s, Secretary Gene
raj of the Minister of the Interior, Ledru
Rollin, and has since established for him
self the reputation of being the greatest
political orator of France. Pelietan, who
wrote the pungeDt works on the demor-
alization IN France caused by the En-
pire Picard, one of 'the five" who con-
stituted the first Republican opposition
to Napoleon, in the Corps Legislatif;
Gambetta, the most fiery among all the
opponents of the Empire, and one of the
Irreconclabes Ferry, the editor Of the
Steele; Simon, probably the best living
authority on all subjects relating to pub
lie instruction; Glaiz Bizoin, the terror of
all the Bonapartist orators; finally,
Rochefort, the editor OF the late Liant
erne, and the most bitter in his hatred of
Louis Napoleon. have all won their po-
litical distinction since l943.
The Bonapartists are of course exclu-
ded from the new Government, But it
is strange that the other parties should
have no larger share in lts composition.
The Legitimists have 10 representatives
at all; the Orleanists only one, General
Trochu, The Socialists and Communists
cannot recognize in any of the members
of the Government aud Ministry one of
their leaders. In THIS respect the new
Government is even more one-sidcd than
that of ls4S, which counted among its
members Louis Blanc and Albert.
1t will be generally recognized that
the new administration embraces some
of the ablest men of France. No filter
man could be found in the whole country
for the Ministry of Instruction than Jules
Simon, and Favre, Cremieux, GARNER
Pages, and Picard will be regarded by
all parties as fully worthy of the trust
which has been conflded TO them. As
for some of the others, it remains TO be
seen whether their sagacity at the Conn
cil-board is equal to their cloquence on
the rostrum. They begin their most
difficult task with assurance that the war
must be continued, until the last German
soldier shall be driven from the French
soil. Yet it is well known that the
members of the Government and the
Ministry are by no means agreed. Gam
beta, Rochefort, Glaiz,Bizoin, and even
Favre are in favor of fighting at all haz.
ards, Others like Cremieux, Arago, and
Simon will more readily stop to calcu-
late the possibilities of success. Trochu,
though the only man of his party in the
Government, may yet within few days
have control OF the whole republic, At
all events, more startling dispatches may
ere long be expected.

The Provisional Government.

When the Emperor surrendered at Sc
dan, ths whole world knew that the EN-
pire was virtually dead The vote of the
Corps Legislatif which declared the de-
ohednce was therefore more the promul-
CATION than the decree of a change of
government Although generally ex.
pected, the action Of the Corps Legislatif
has produced however profound s"nsa-
ton. That not single friend of the
fallen dynasty should. muster courage To
make an earnest effort in Its behalf; that
the vote of the Chamber on a subject of
such far-reachirg consequences should
be unanisaons, that party, numbering
only about 40 among 200 members of a
representative assembly chosen by gen.
eral suffrage, should be intIMsted with
the administration; that man like Roch-
EFFORT should be among tho members of
the Provisional Government, are circum-
stances well calculated TO astound the

The Prussian Method.

The Prussian method of making war re,
minds one of the feudal ages rather than of
modern warfare. Ii "mobiliZes" whole pop
ulation, and precipitates them on an enemy,
disregards frontier fortiticalons, and marches
ON hostile capital with the evident design of
concentrating into few weeks what modern
military art has usually made the business of
years. The old feudal levy en- mGSse was only
for forty DAYS. Every man was u soldier, and
armies out Of all proportion to the population
fought great battles, made short but decisive
campaigns In manner totally different from
cha methOdicOl military style of the last three
centuries With the rise nf standing armies IL
was found that small number of well disci-
plined troops was more effective than many
times their number OF haeiy levies, and the
battles of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries were almost exclusively those OF
standing armies.
The French Revolution gave almost the
first instance OF the success OF numbers against
discipline. The grand levy of oyer million
saved France Bom deleat and dispeH Hberment,
and repulsed the combined standing armies OF
aristocratjo Europe, but pushed her bounda-
rles to the Rhine. From that time for nearly
twenty years, France fought tqr conquest, sac
rifcng over four millions OF soldiers in the
terrible wars of the Republic and the Empire,
1t was during the supremacy Of the First
Napoleon that the present Prussiap system
was organiEcd. In 1906, that Emperor had
completely overthrown, In six weeks cam
paign, the military power of Prussia. One OF
the harsh conditions of peace which he i'm

infinitely more than compensated by the

Though the wonderful genius,o of the great Ma
poleon enabled him to make terrible and ut
times successful struggle against heavy odds,
he finally went down, and The Prussian sys-
tenn won its first great triumph.
The campaign of Sadowa showed the won
derful force of the perfected Prussian system.
Nearly the whole adult male population of
the country had been through term of mill
tary service, and the enormous force thrown
upon Austria proved irresistible. Napoleon
III end Favored to establish countcr-system,
and when he thought he had perfected IT, com
menced the present war. The result indicates
terrible mscalculation on his part Militia
ry people as the French consider themselves,
they have never submitted to that rigorous dis
cipline which has made Prussia nation of
soldiers. With probably the largest available
standing army in the world, France has moth
ing like the Prussian reserve force, and for
six weeks campaign is decidedly inferior to
North Germany.
The great disadvantage of the Prussian sys-
TEN, however, will be in its want Of capacity
for sustained effort. a failure to conquer q
peace within two months would be practical
defeat. No civilized country can keep in the
field for any length Of time so large proper
tion of its population as Prussia has now un-
der arms. The prospect now is, however, that
the Germans will soon be before Paris and
unless that great city can really stand siege
the war is not likely to be a long one.
