NnpoIe0u's Confession.

The pamphlet In which the ex-Empero-,
from his palace prison at Wilhelmsh1he sums
up the unfortunate events OF the last three
months, is summarized in one OF the French
journals, the Figaro, and appears In con-
densed form among our cable dispatches to-
day II may be regarded somewhat in the
light Of the last confession Of great criminal.
The ex-Emperor admits the misgivings with
which his conscience upbraided him when he
was weak enough to yield to the cry Of ION
to Berlin and thus attempts to shift from his
own shoulders the immediate responsibility for
the war. But his excuse is that he expected,
by rapid movements, to separate the South
German States from the Northern Confedera-
tion and, by an alliance with Austria and
Italy, to impose neutrality on Bavaria, Baden
and Wurtemberg. The cause of his failure he
attributes to the defects In the French military
system and to the delay in bringing up men
and materials; but, with apparent inconsis-
tency, he acquits the War Department Of blame.
When his first plan failed and his army was
forced to assume the defensive a retreat upon
Chalons was obviously the best course to be
pursued; but that was disapproved by the
Regency as being calculated to discourage
the nation, and hence, again yielding his own
convictions, the offensive was resumed and
MacMahon's advice and plan were adopted,
which resulted in the disaster Of Sedan. X
The Emperor is frank in recognizing the
superiority of tho Prussian system over that
which he himself had been pursuing in France.
He attributes their military successes to
superior numerical strength, improved artillery,
rigorous discipline, respect for authority and
the patriotic spiritof the people. BY inference
he admits that the French have been deficient
in those high qualities which make q great
people, and hence confesses the deteriorating
effect Of his rule. On the whole the pamphlet
may be regarded as candid avowal of the
manifold sins and iniquities of the Empire, for
which the whole French people are now
suffering.

IMMENSE ACTIVITY must be progressing id
the Brooklyn Navy Yard if one might Judge
from the large number Of new workmen being
employed there. The yard is swarming with
laborers like hive Of bees, but the industry
of that useful insect is nowhere observable in
the public works going on in that institution.
After next Tuesday there will probably be
falling off in the number Of employees, as the
important service required of them will be all
rendered at the polls on that day. 1t is pity
that the subordinates Of the administration
should be required to resort to such paltry
political tricks as these.

The War Situntion-Tho Movements OF
Princo Frederic Charies' Army.

The War situntion-Tho Movements Of
Prince Frederic Charles Army.
Our special dispatches from Paris indicate
that food is becoming scarcer and dearer every
day In the beleagured city. The movements
of Prince Frederic Charles army, relieved by
the surrender of Metz, make this shortening
of supplies more dreadful in it's possible CON
sequences than it might otherwise be. Part
Of his army is preparing to invade Picardy
and Normandy, where as yet food is abundant,
and portion will march against Lyons down
the rich valley Of the Saone, through the wine
growing districts Of the Cote dor and Saone
ct Loire, and probably isolate from France,
as Paris Is isolated, Lyons, the second city Of
the nation. These forces will eat the country
as bare as it has been eaten about Paris, and
the gaunt figure of famine rises more threaten
ingy with every step of their advance.
Inside Paris internal dissensions have arisen of
sufficient magnitude to brighten the Armest
believer in the republic. The provisional
government was compelled to find safety
behind the closed doors of the Hotel de Vile.
The riot was induced by reported conclusion
Of the armistce, to last for twenty-five days, in
which time the Constituent Assembly elections
arc to be held, Paris in the interval
being allowed to bring in food. The
National Guard promptly queled the out
break. We treat more fully of the armstice
question in another column. The proofs of
Bazaine's treachery are multiplying. Lyons
Is preparing for stout resistance The NAL
contents in Marseilles have gone so far as to
shoot and wound their new Project, and Min
lister Gambetta has issued one Of his gushing
proclamations in consequence. Garibaldi has
also vented another enthusiastic prose epic
on the jealousies of republics; and, altogether,
in Paris, Marseiles, Tours, the Vosses and
everywhere else in the republic gush and CAB
seem to be main resources Of the men of
France.

THE DUKE OF AosrA is likely to experience
the truth Of Shakspeare's general assertion
to the effect that ''uneasy lies the head that
wears CROWN" by his attempt to wear one
in Madrid. The leaders of the political oppo-
sition parties Of Spain are again out In support
of Montpensier or Espartero. Prim proposes
the Italian Duke. The liberal party has not
yet ''made up its mind" according to the
statement of the Marquis Of Santa Cruz.
There are evidently some scattering" votes
in the Oortes to be yet ''heard FROM" or who
may not perhaps have yet ''heard FROM
Florence or Rome on the subject Of the cui
bono. Spain is not reconstructed yet.

Aid for the French Victims Of the War

Aid for the French Victims Of the War.
We published recently the earnest appeal
of Nine. Othilie Bousson In behalf of the
French victims Of the war. That lady has
been actively engaged in the work Of the
Patriotic Aid Society, and the cases containing
linen and cotton bandages, flannel vests, &C..
which she has already forwarded to France
have safely reached their destination. She is
now preparing some more cases, and solicita
all who wish to share in this charitable work
to send to her address, No. 800 Broadway,
corner of Seventeenth street, New York city,
any fabrics or other articles that may alleviate
the sufferings Of the victims Of the war;. All
the principal express companies, the leading
railroad companies and the Transatlantic
Steamship Company have generously offered
to carry free all packages thus addressed to
Nine Bousson. ''For the Victims Of the War"
should be marked on them. Americans should
heartily unite with French residents in the
United States in making liberal contributions
to the Patriotic Aid Society. This they can
surely do without violating neutrality laws.
even if they cannot emulate the patriotic
liberality Of the California Frenchmen, whose
Central Committee on the Both Of October
notified the government of Tours that they are
this week to send to France fifty thousand
francs for the national defence. The German
Sanitary Fair, which closed last Saturday,
produced the splendid sum Of sixty thousand
dollars, and the approaching French Sanitary
Fair, 1t is to be hoped, will be similarly
successful. France, in this her hour of sore
distress, has well founded claim upon the
gratitude of America for French sympathy and
aid during the early struggles Of our republic
for Independence.

EATING GUNPowDER.-Afte the supply Of
salt In Metz had become exhausted the French
soldiers were reduced to the necessity of sea-
soning their food with gunpowder. This mea-
sure was recommended BY the surgeons, and
accordingly the saltpetrs In the powder was
utilized for sanitary purposes. y must have
been doubIy unpalatable to the poor Frenon
soldiers, who were thus compelled to eat ne
powder that was intended for the annihilation
Of the Prussians.

IMPoRTANT OMISSION BY KING WILLIAM
The King of Prussia has issued his royal
address Of congratulation to the German forces
for taking Metz. There is, however, an impor
tant and ungrateful omission In this congratu-
latory document. He does not thank Marshal
Bazaine, the prisoner Emperor Napoleon, and
Inc rest Of the imperialist intriguers.

the Chatham street doctor" affords grand
opportunity for our courts of justice to check
a terrible crime which is becoming reproach
to the nation, and which is surely and rapidly
undermining Americans socially and as a
people. Cases Of this description, with the
like fatal termination, have been too frequent
in this city during the past three or four
years, and, though the ''doctors" have been
arrested in several instances, the cases seemed
to have been ''hugger-muggered" somewhere,
and in a month or two the prisoners have been
as fragrant as ever in the prosecution Of their
nefadous calling. There is an official leak
somewhere. Is it in the Coroners' offices or
in the District Attorneys department? One

Not Very Popular-NIonarchy In Spain.

Not Very Popular-HIonurchy In Spain.
A telegram from Madrid says that on the
vote in the Cortes on the Duke of Aosta's can
didaturc for the Spanish throne one hundred
and eighty members out of three hundred and
forty were in favor Of the election. This, of
course, is majority. and, we suppose, will
settle the question But what bare majority !
A change Of eleven votes would have left the
monarchists in a minority. Now, considering
the personal popularity Of the Duke Of Aosta,
the favorable opinion Of his father, the King
of Italy, and the very progressive and liberal
conduct Of all that family. this is remarkably
poor show for monarchy in Spain. Then we
are aware Of the fact that this Cortes was
elected before the republican sentiment re-
ceived fresh impulse from the events that
have recently transpired in Europe. Besides,
Prim, Serrano and the rest Of the royalst
intriguers in Spain have exercised powerful
influence in bringing about this result. If a
new Cortes were to be chosen now, or il the
vote of the people were to be fairly taken on
the question, we think that even the Duke o.
Aosta would stand a MOOR chance of being
elected. The vote. as stated in the telegraphic
despatch referred to, leads to the inference, in
very significant manner, that Spain is more
republican In sentiment than monarchical.

PARDON OF THE FENIANs BY ENGLAND
The British government has pardoned the
Fenian O'Donovan Rossa and few more of
bis colleagues confined in English prisons.
Rosa was a sad victim to the cruelty of con-
vict prison discipline, and probably comes out
into the world a poor wreck of humanity.
Some Of his fellow convicts have either died or
gone mad in prison. The best thing the
government could do now would be to open
the doors and let them all free. In fact these
men should never have been incarcerated at
ALL Many Of them were convicted Of acts
and words done and spoken in the United
States and quite number of them are
officers who served the American army of
the Union with great gaIlantry during the late
war. Had they been the chiefs of an impos-
ing insurrection in Ireland it might have been
necessary to put them under duress; but as
they really represented little more in the shape
of formidable organization than an organized
sentiment Of hostility to British government in
their native country, which will probably exist
for all time, there was little justice and very
poor policy in making martyrs Of them. They
should, therefore, be all released.

EDITOR CosMoPoLITE: Il desire, as an unsolici-

and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as
physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised
remedies, in the vain hope of finding relief from
aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from
which have suffered excessively for many years,
good fortune finally suggested to me HELMBoLDs
BUCHU, which commenced using with little faith,
and no apparent beneficial effects for about Il
month. At the expiration of that time, however,
thought commenced to experience slight relief,
which encouraged me to persevere in its use, and
now at the expiration of four months, although
am an infirm old man, nearly seventy eight years
Of age, and consequently medicines cannot be eX-
pected to favoraby affect they otherwise
would, have found such unspeakable relief and
permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbold's valuable
fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and a valuable
suggestion to the public. Yours respectfully,
