TRocEU rN EARNEST.
Your correspondent had an interview with
General Trochu yesterday on the subject OIL
communicating With the outer world. Gene
raj Trochu was kind and liberal IN tone, put
very firm as to the absolute necessity OF LOT,
bidding all such communications. He alluded
to the annoyance and the losses which would
be thus inflicted upon many. innocent people
in many parts of the world, but spoke ef them
as cruel necessities like all the necessities OF
war. He spoke with some bitterness of the
tone 10 which certain English Journals had al
luded to the defence of Paris as bein5'a politi-
cal feint. s-Look," he said, "at the calm de-
termination with which we are now deVastat-
inc some Of the loveliest suburbs and most
valuable dependencies OF Paris, laying waste
beautiful parks, burning up forests, the work
of centuries, levelling fine buildings with the

loudly enough for the resolution which Paris
had taken to fight to the last hour against her
invaders"
ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH VICTOR HUGO.
The Herald correspondent dined last night
with Victor Hugo and family. His two sons,
with their young wives, were present. The IL
lustrlous writer, In reply to some remarks,
said some striking things. He said he had
come to Paris to share the perlls Uf the cii-
zens: he had no public role to fill; but his pres
ence on the ramparts might De useiul. He
would go daily unarmed, and stimulate oy
the city. He regards the attack on Paris
absurd as well as cruel, as the war was begun
AGAINST the Emperor. Now that he is
prisoner. the King Of Prussia SENDS
him retinue of servants, and SENDS
us, who never provoked this war, oomo-
shells. Never was there an act SO atrocious IN
history. II don't know" continued he. as a
cioud oyerspread his face, ..what part may fall
to nv lot to play before the awful drama closes,
but Paris has q choice Of a determined de-
fence or q cowardly surrender. II It should,
though II seems Impossible TO decide upon the
latter course, can return in exile to my old
retreat at Guernsey. If 1t selects the former.
/ trust &c see every quarter OF Paris, one after
another, blown to atoms by the enemy; corpse
after corpse, battalion after battalion, buried
in the same grave with my Tesolute felloW-citi-
zene. In that way Paris must perish. While
the spectacle may horrify the world, 1t will be
followed BY resurrection Of the Democracy
OF France and Germany, who will ayenge the
terrible catastrophe
PUNISHMENT FOR EXAcTIoN.
Visitors TO Paris will remember Cottes's res
taurant, on the corner Of the Rue Royale and
Rne So. Honore. AS left Place de la Con-
coTde crowds were gazing at the closed shut
tiers OF the restaurant, on which was written,
in large letters, in chalk, "Closed IN conse-
sequence ofrobbery; forty centlmes eight sous
charged for small loaf worth two sous, anu
one franc seventy centimes tor book beer:
Justice has been done. Closed, by order OF
the sovereign people, until the end OF the
war;"
THE ENTHUSIASM OF THE INHABITANTS
of Paris, and their determination to defend
the city, may be realized somewhat by the fact
that one of the Rothschilds, young member
of the eminent banking firm, has shouldered
his chassepot, and Is now daily doing duty on
the ramparts of the city alongside the laooTers.
THE SIEGE OF srRAsBouRG-HEAvY BoSBARD-
MENT--SufFERINGS OF TIE PEOPLE.
LONDON, September lG
A dispatch from Burmath, eleven miles
north-n northwest from Strasbourg, from
special correspondent, who came from the
front at Strasbourg yesterday, says that
heavy fire continued all day from the
guns of the third parallel, causing great
destruction to the walls and citadel. An
effort to carry the Notifications by storm
will doubtless be made tomorrow. Several
fires had broken out in the city from the
ceaseless bombardment. Early yesterday
morning flag Of truce was displayed by the
French, and it was hoped that it meant an OF
fer of capitulation. Firing ceased, and an
officer and guard advanced toward the Prns-.
sian lines, asking, IN the name OF GeneraP
Uric, cessation of firing, to enable party
Of females and few wounded civilians, who
had hitherto persisted in remaining, to leave
the city. The request was granted. Some Of
the fugitives stated that the sufferings Of the
people were intense. Provisions are served
out in very limited quantities.. The mortality
and sickness caused by deprivations continued
to be very great. On the l4th the citizens
made another appeal to General Uric TO
yield 10 inevitable destiny. The commander
replied that his position was most painful, but
he must, at all hazards. discharge his duty to
his country. The fall OF the fortress cannot
long be delayed.
ARMS AND AMMUNITION FOR FRANCE.
LONDON, September Is.
The French are ordering immense quanti-
ties of arms and ammunition from England.
AGAINST INTERVENTION.
Mr.. Lowe, Chancellor OF The EXcheQner, in
speech this afternoon at Elgin, pronounced
in the strongest manner against Intervention
and mediation between France and Prussia in
any form whatever. Intervention means aoan-
donment Of neutrality, bnt we have no desire
whatever to be drawn into q quarrel not OF
our own seeking. / see no reason whatever
to apprehend that we shall be. Mediation we
tried before the war, but when you come TO
speak OF mediation after the sword has
been drawn yoa get totally different set
OF considerations. Il is 40 longer question
of the rights of parties, but question
