furnishes the following details to the
journals of the surrender Of the Emperor
In the second attack Of our armies we
understood that all the positions of Nc
Mahon were turned. Bazeilles, Dousey,
Bodsn, Nillers, Ternay, Givonne, La
Fleigneux, Saint Mango
and Uriguss, to the woods of Dou-
cherry. We found an eclipse OF
fire kept up by 10000 soldiers
and 900 cannon around Sedan, with
400, 900 soldiers before him and seriously
wounded ia the shoulder and groin, and
with bombs bursting around him, the
Marshal turned over his command TO
General Wimpffen. As regards the En-
peror, MeMahon's corps covered him on
the battle field, and the walls of Sedan
protected him for one hour longer.
.Flering was the headquarters of the
King of Prussia, also the Prince Royal
and host of German Princes and
strangers.
These two points, Sedan and Flering,
are a distance of 8 kilometres from one
another. We went through Ssriguy
without hindrance, but not without diff

500 metres distance from Flering to Mu-
sica, the Prussian bands mingled with
the hurrahs of the officers.
The Prussisn soldiers dishonOr the
Marseillsise or song of battle and it be
comes a provoking sarcasm in their
hymn of victory.
Two shells were shot across the sky in
the direction of Sedan. The town will
probably be bombarded. A thick cloud
Of smoke, followed by flames, rises above
the town, where there are only wounded
women and exhausted troops.
The Emperor hoisted a white flag of

King William, as a souvenir of Jena.

King William desired, in his turn, to

PARIS, September 6.-The Prefect of
Police has issued the following prOclama-
ton:
a To the policemen and inhabitants of
Paris:
Amer being for eighteen years crushed
under the cruel blows, the traditions in
terrupted on the 18th Brumier and I'd of
December, are at last resumed. The
Deputies who were LETT after the with
drawsl of their colleagues, have pro-
claimed a decree of deeheance. Soon
afterward republic was pro-
claimed. The revolution which
hss Just taken place has been a pacific
one. II was understood that no French
blood should flow except on the field of
battle. 1t has for its object, as in
1872, the repression of foreigners. 1t
therefore, the Inhabitants
of Paris by their self-pOssession and the
manlinsss Of their attitude, to continue
to show themselves equal to the task.
that they and the nation have undertaken.
For this reason, invested by the Govern
ment with the powers that have been 50
much abused under the previous reigns,
I invite the inhabitants Of Paris to the
exercise of their political rights. Such
they have Just reconquered, to the fullest
extent, possibly consistent with wisdom
and moderation, and to show to France
and the world that we are indeed worthy
of liberty. Our duty, in the cir
in which we have been placed
is above all 70 remember that the country
is in danger, and that France, under the
auspices Of republican liberty, prepares TO
or die, / am certain that my
powers will only be used TO defend you
from the blows of these who seek TO be-
tray the country.
