In direct contradiction TO this is the order issued by

of delay in the shipment of arms and ammunition.
Granville further alleges the diff Guilty OF effectu-

already exist in France. Complaints that Prussia
during the Crimean war allowed the transport of
arms, were then made, and now renewed but
at the time were shown to have been unfounded.

"A special correspondent writing from Berlin on
Oct. 9th, says: can emssary from Bazane asked
Bismarck to permit him to retain Metz and remain
neutral during hostlities, which was declined, but
the same agent was permitted to proceed to Will
helmshohe with view to further negotiations. No
fresh interview has occurred between him and
Bismarck, but all kinds of negotiations are con-
tnually going on.
LONDON, Oct 9.-[special to New York Hersld.l-
A correspondent at the Prussian headquarters
says You may rest assured that the siege of Paris
will not be delayed an hour longer than is neces-
sary to make the attack.
decisive headway has recently been made. The
French forces gathering in unoccupied portions of
France are not feared, however they progress The
new army on the way from Germany to Strasburg
will crush out such organizations.
M Gambetta Issues proclamation to the people
OF the departments. After reviewing the position
of Paris, and showing the preparations made by
the government for months to maintain them
selves, he says: 'The situation imposes great
duties. First of ALL 1t is for you to cease to be dt
verted by any pre-occupatiOn which may not be the
war-a combat Pourdnce. The second is, until
peace comes to accept fraternaly the authority of
the Republic, proceeding from necessity and right,
and power which would not exist moment were it
exercised for the profit Of any ambition.
"Ihere is now but one passion and but one
thought to rescue France from the abyss into which
monarchy has plunged her. This makes the repub-
lie, which has been well founded and which affords
a shelter TO the conspirators and reactionists So,
therefore, have command for you Abandoning
all other AFFAIRS and without taking account of the
difficulties and the obstacles which to be over
come, to cooperate with all your unrestrained
ereies in remedying the evils of the situation.
1.-THE time is short inwhch to supply to the active
force all il has lost by delay. The men are not
wanting This delay it is which has wrought de-
feat. Now come resolution and decision, and it is
in the execution of their projects that the Republic
makes an appeal to the cooperation of all.
.Ths government takes upon itself the duty of
utilizing all your courage and of employing all
your capacity. 1t is tradition to arm our young
cadets; and while we do this the heavens will not
dare to favor our adversaries. The rains of au-
tumn will come, and lingering around the capital
the Prussians, far from their homes, alarmed,
harrassed and pursued, will be decimated by our
arms.
"By fact and by nature it is not possible that the
genius of France will be clouded forever; that the
great nation will allow itself to take place under
meath the domination of 800 900 men. Let us then
rise up and let us die rather than submit
uisgracefully TO dlsmemberment through all our
disasters and under the stroke of l-fortune there
remains for us the sentiment of the unity Of France
and the indisso ubility of the Republic. Paris as
serts most glOriously again that immortal motto
which also calls again upon all France-"Vive la
Nation! Vive la Kepublfque! une ct indivisible!"

yards up the wind died away, the balloon remain
ing stationary over Prussian camp. Musketry
and cannon were fired at the aeronauts, the whiz of
the balls being distinctly heard. The Prussans
also used fusees, endeavoring to set the balloon on
fire. Ballast was thrown out and the balloon moved
gently away.
Duiing the trip, which lasted five hours, several
attempts were made to land, but the presence of
PrussiaDs in the vicinity compelled them to throw
out ballast and rise again. They finally landed at
Roye, in the department of the Somme, where

Gambetta's balloon about three o'clock on Friday.
1t landed at Mont Dedier, and they were joined by

their journey by special train with him to Tours.
Along the route Gambetta was enthusiastically
welcomed by the people. The balloons were to
have left two days sooner, but were prevented by
lack of wind. May and Reynolds report that the
Parsians are determined in their defence of the
city, which is quiet and orderly. The voyagers add
that it is impossible to capture the city, except

whose GOODNESS and skill is much lauded. There
were pigeons in the balloon, which have been let
loose to return to Paris The Americans by this
balloon brought Paris journals of October7, which
notice the intended departure on that day of two
balloons. One journal calls the attention of the
government to the fact that an American general
asserted to be in Paris, means to defeat the Prus-
slams and cut off their supplies, and with 1000 cav
airy could easily accomplish this.
The othcial military report OF October shows
that all is quiet around Paris, save toward the park
