The SURRENDER OF ToUL, which was
first announced Oh Saturday morning in
the Irib,Ue'S Berlin special dispatches,
was an important victory for the Ger
mans. Twenty-seven hundred prisoners
one hundred and niuety-seven cannon,
five hundred aud odd thousand ralions
these were the material advantages
gained. But these were the least of the
benefits arising from capture. BY this
capitulation the Germans became pos
sessed OF an unobstructed line of railway
communication between their frontier
and the City of Paris. This was he.
ccsslty to them, because of the difficulty
Of conveying ammunition, stores, and
siege trains by the common roads around
the fortress. For much of the distance
the Germans now possess three lines OF
railway, and appear to be building 9th.

routes Of communication will not prove

One OF the principal objects of conHen-

not bind France. For this reason Bis

France would uphold his government or
indorse his policy. 1t was to obviate
this difficulty that the Provisional Gov

tions for the Constituent Assembly
which is a body possessed of absolute
power, and fully competent to regulate
the domestic and foreign relations of
France. Bat how thai the elections for
the Assembly have been adjourned"

and 20 be aislodged from the positions
he had alreadylobtaiued. This task was
iutrusted to Generals Vinoy and Ducrot
Perhaps General Trochu had also reason
to believe that the German commanders
did not look for any ohencive movements
on the part of the garrison OF Paris, aud
that the troops of Generals Ninoy and
Ducrot would be able TO take the most
advanced division of the Crown Prince
of Prussia by surprise, attack it with
overwhelming numbers and utterly route
it before the next divisions would DC able
to come to its assistance. The conse-
quences of so brilliant a success would
add greatly to the enthusiasm and ardor
of the Parisians and enhance their conf
dcnce in the ability of the leaders to
whom the defence Of their city had been
intrustcd.
Our readers know how bitterly these
hopes were disappointed, and how much
reason General Trochu had TO regret
having ordered movement which has
shown the Palisians that the regular
troops in their midst have been some
what demoralized in the course of the
campaign, and that even corps detite,
such as the ZouaYes, did not withstand
the CALLING fire of the Germans foe any
length of time, but threw away their
arms and rushed in wild disorder back to
the gates of the city.
