to the German people: And then last
word; Paris driven to the last parts, sus
tanned by all, uprisen France can conquer
and should conquer, and you will have
attempted at a dead loss this violenct
which already rouses the world. In any
case efface the words destruction, aboli-
ton, death. No, Paris will not be de-
stroyed. If it is destroyed materially il
will augment morally. In running Paris
you sanctify it; the scattering of the stores
will be a dispersion of ideas. Fling
Paris to the four winds and you will only
make each grain Of that dust seed of the
future; that sepulcher will cry liberty,
equality and fraternity. Paris is a city,
but Paris is sui. Burn our edifces,
they are only our bones, their smoke will
take shape and will become enormous;
living they will mount up to heaven, and
then will be seen an horizon of peoples
above us, above you, above all; every
thing attends our glory. Sting of your
shame, that great spectre of darkness
and light, Paris.
Now have done. Germans if you per
sist, be it so; you are warned. Go attack
the walls of Paris. Under your bombs
and your mitrailleurs she will defend her
self; as for me, an old man, l will be
there without arms, it is proper
for me to be with people who
are dying. l complain that you
are with Kings who are killing.
The French Repulse Last Mon
day-French Firing ON Their own
Men.
LONDON, Sept 2S.-The following &C
count of Mondays battle is from the
Opinion Rationale:
On Sunday evening Gen. Ducrat
marched his troops in the neighborhood
of Chdtelan. At five the next morning the
Francs tireurs began to be active and
were repulsed, but not vigorously, by the
Prussian infantry at Malru. The French
artillery took up a position and opened
a very vigorous cannonade in the direc-
ion of the woods. There was no move
ment by the Germans. They began to
reply from the fringe of the woods.
Several French attachments then pushed
forward and entered Glsdes, especially
on the French left, to carry Bayneaux
CayasseuIes, venturedtOO far, and coming
suddenly on a strong body of Germans,
suffered heavy losses. At that moment
some of our troops came upon a corps of
Prussians at almost point blank range.
The latter had our men at great advan-
tage. They seemed to be quite at home
in the woods. Every tree was q fortitica-
ton from which they deliberately aimed,
firing necessarily and very fierce. Just
at this time a battalion of Mobiles of the
Seine came up and began firing into the
spot where our sixteenth regiment was
stationed, which threw the latter into dis
order and caused their precipitate retreat.
Another French RevOIutiOn-Fight
ing Begun between TrOchu and
the sSGutter DemOcracy''-Pray
for the Prussians - Nantes Sur
rounded.
LONDON, Sept Especial to Evening
Telegram.-A dispatch from Fevriers,
near Paris to-day, states that this morn
ing rife firing and canonading were heard
going on IN Paris. On the 21st it was
distinctly observed from the heights that
a conflict was in progress, but no details
are given. A letter from Paris on the
night of the goth says: There is great
danger of revolutionary outbreak in
volving another change of government.
The Reds are furious against the present
leaders, and express themselves loudly
and defantly against its representa-
tive authority. The evident dispo-
sition is to seize the Hotel de Vile,
as an initial step of the rebellious pro-
gramme. Resistance TO their plans will
be difficult 1t is impossible to say what
will be the effect Of their obtaining con-
troll of the Government, but the people
dread pillage and assassination. An ar
mistice now would save the lives and
property of thousands of citizens. PeO-
pie of the peaceful order dread the Prus-
slams far less than the desperate ruffians
belonging to the lower quarters.
A dispatch from Gen. Van Kreuzy, at
Toul, states that yesterday the town was
captured by storm by the Prussians after
a determined resistance. The lombard
ment had been continued several days,
causing great damage and destroying the
principal buildings. The besieged sur
rendered tC the Prussians Internationally.
L dispatch from Tours announces that
there are now Is, 900 German soldiers in
the country surrounding Nantes. The
town of Laville has been severely bonn
barded. No defense was attempted.
The Meeting of King william and
NapOIeOn-Their COnfab.
LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Times has the
following details of the meeting between
King William of Prussia and the En-
peror Napoleon at Bouillon:
The meeting was very cordial appa
rently. After shaking hands they en-
tered the conservatory. The officers
came out, leaving the two alone. A dia-
logue then took place, OF which the fol-
lowing is the substance:
King William-God has given our arms
the victory in the war you have precipi-
tated.
Emperor Napolcon-The war was not
sought by me, but was imposed upon me
by public opinion.
King Misunderstanding emphaticsl-
ly-YOur ministers created that opinion.
Your army, however, certainly fought
bravely.
Emperor-But the Prussians hadk disci-
pline that mine has recently lacked.
King-Before and since 1866 we studied
carefully the experience and inventions of
other nations.
Emperor-Your artillery won every
thing. 1t is the finest in the world.
King-In the matter of artillery par
ticularly, we have utilized the experience
Of other nations.
Emperor-Prince Frederick Charles de-
cided the event of the last battle, his army
carving our last position.
King-You err; in was my son who
fought at Sedan.
Emperor-Where, then, was Prince
Frederick Charles.
King-His army corps is before Metz.
The Emperor's self-possession sppar-
emily deserted him momentarily on re-
ceiving this intelligence.
The King continued-Hsve you any
thing to proposes
Emperor-Nothing whatever; am
prisoner.
