oABITULATIoy OF METZ.
BERLIN, October 2.-The King tele-
graphs TO the Queen to-day t'This
morning Bazaine and Metz capitulated-
$50, 900 prisoners, including 10000 sick
and wounded. The army and garrison
laid down their arms this afternoon.
This is one OF the most important events
OF the war. Providence be thanked"
The surrender Of BaZaine, il is stated,
has been made upon a full understand
ing with the Prnssian Government that
the occupation of Metz and StrasbuTg
shall be accepted as an adequate basis
for the Withdrawing Of the German ar
mics from France and concluding peare.
The Republicans in London loudly de-
clared the Marshal a traitor; that he con-
certed his action with Prince Napoleon,
the Empress and King William, and
that the government al Paris and Tours
will repudiate any peace prepared or
signed by him. In spite Of rUmors
about the surrender OF Metz, the French
loan has advanced In price all day. NJ.
Laurier is arranging for the expenditure
Of a large amount Of the loan in the pur-
chase OF arms at Birmingham.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-AdVlces from BOuil-
lon TO the 9th state that the ~cspitulatiou
of BaEaine, with his army, at Metz, is in
conformity With an understanding ar
rived at with the King OF Prussia, and
comtemplates speedy peace,
From all parts Of France there comes
but one eXpressiOn-the hope that the
Government will accept no humiliRting
conditions as the price Of peace. The
journals Of this city are unanimous that
tie only hope for fair terms lies in the
indefinite prOsecuGcn OF the yar,
In the East the Prussian army has
been suddenly and decisiyely stopped.
Their march upon Lyons has been
checked by forces OF the French under
Garibaldi. The latter, eyer SINCE he
took command, has acted vigorously,
taken many prisoners and cannon, and
accomplished the object for which he set
forth. The weather continues unfayOra-
BILE for military movements. For several
days rai4 las fallen steadily, and most
Of the time high winds ~BrsYail5d. This
has been especially the case in the north
OF France. The Russians in Normandy
and in the NOsges find IL extremely diff
cult 70 move their artillery, II IS re-
Z marked that the more difficulties the
I PruE5isps are compelled to encounter, the
more inhumaHly they treat the French
Inhabitants, needlessIy destroying farm
ing utensils, looms aud manufactures,
tearing down dwellings, killing horses
and cattle, and destroying the food they
Cannot eat or carry away.
ToURs, O5tober Glowing to the ru-
NOR OF B~sZaine's capit1istiOl, Minister
Gambetta has issued g circular 10 the
protects, saying: I have received from
all sides crave reports, the Teracity Of
which, in spite Of ell efforts, 7 cannot
establish officially. It Is said that Met.
has capitulated. II so, it Is well you
have tbs opinion OF the government on
the matter. Such On event could but be
the result Of s crime, the auth1Ts 81
which should be outlaWed. 30 con-
Vipced that whatever may arise, nothing
Fan absse our courage in this epoch Of
rascally cepiinll.iOns. There exists one
thing which neither can nor will capitu-
late and that is the French Republic.
TEe following are the terms Of peace
which wers proposed by England Rus
STA and Austria: q
First, no 6essiog Of territory; seq
ond, the Qualifications Of Metz and Stras-
burg to be RACED; third, France to nay
200, 600, 700 francs indemnity. The ne1-
tFals are to guarantee peace"
