A long interview occurred yesterday

at Paris, when the views
of the British Cabinet We're fully dis

the valuable crown and regalia Of the
Empire have been deposited in the Bank
of France for safe keeping.
The enemy continue their onward
march toward this city, accompanied
by train Of heavy artillery and am
for siege.
The report is confirmed that the Or
leans Princes are on their way to Paris,
1t is reported that the Republican min
istry are determined to arrest them on
their arrival. A rumor is also in cir
culation that a difficulty was excited
between General Trochu and the Min
istry. The latter gave way and har-
mony is once more restored. In the
Republican Council difference arose
on the question Of arning all classes
of the population. Trochu stood firm
in his opposition to the arming Of the
people, contending that the proposition
was premature and impolitic in the face
of the grand crisis. The Ministers gave
way, with, it is said, the reservation
that at more opportune moment the
subject should be more fully discussed
and acted upon.
The following is the address Of Gen
eral Wimpfen, to whom the command
of the army fell after the wound
ing of Mcmahon. 1t is address
ed to the soldiers at Sedan, and dated
Sd. 1t is as follows:
To the Soldiers On Thursday you
fought against force greatly super
ior in numbers, from daybreak until
dark. You resisted the enemy with
the utmost bravery; when you had
fired your last cartridge, and were worn
out with lighting and not being able to
respond TO the call Of your Generals
and officers in an attempt to regain
Marshal Bazaine by the road to
Montmedy, you were forced TO
retreat on Sedan. In this desperate
effort but two thousand men could be
got together, and your General deemed
an attempt utterly hopeless and imprac-
ticable. Your General found with deep
regret, when the army was reunited
within the walls of the town, that it
had supplies neither Of food or ammu-
milton and could neither leave the place
nor defend it, the means of existence
being alike wanting for the popula.
ton. was therefore reduced to the sad
of treating with the enemy.

conditions by which We are saved from
much of the possible annoying and
insulting formahties which usages
Of war generally impose. Under the
in which we find our
selves it only remains for us officers
and soldiers to accept with resignation
the consequences of this surrender
We have at least the consolation o.
knowing that useless massacre has
been avoided, and We yielded only un
