army.
Drummond, the banker, writes to the Post,
an interesting account of the Emperor Napo-
poeon while prisoner. He says; "Before
long we Joined the rear of the Emperor's
train. The cortege was of great length, and
we had good opportunity of seeing it as it
passed the bridge at right angles with the
main road. First came the Emperor's own
carriage, travelling to Berlin; then an open
carriage; and after these two or three car
riages like prison vans, all marked 'Maison
militaire PEmpereur,' and containing the
members of his staff A number of horses
followed, some mounted by Imperial servants
in liveries. The horses were magnificent amt
mails, over sixteen hands high. The posti-
lions wore glazed hats, gray coats and scarlet
Wristbands. There were relays of horses for
the carriages, and pack saddle horses and
chargers
CAT noon the Emperor aighted in Bouillon
and walked to the hotel. The crowd of peO-
pie was enormous, but were kept off by the
Belgian troops. French officers of high rank,
among them Prince Murat, stroled about.
The Emperor appeared at a window, and the
crowd cheered. The French prisoners were
silent ana made no response. 1t was impos-
sible to find quarters and food at the hotel,
and the Emperor dined first and then his
suite, and the rest took what they could get.
"At two p. NJ, the Emperor, accompanied
by General Castelnar, came to the door of the
railway station. He seemed well, his face
showing no emotion, though he leaned heavily
on the arm of a servant, who led him out. He
wore red kept embroidered with gold, and
carried decoration on his coat. Dispatches
were handed to him, and he sat down on the
platform and wrote replies, and afterwards
paced up and down the platform, smoking
cigarettes. He returned to the waiting room
and read the Independence Beige until the
special train arrived, when he departed.'
Communications with Paris are liable to in

tremly unsettled.
Late advces from Melbourne state that the
Australian government is eXpediting the land
teegraphic system, in order to connect with
the India cable.
News from the vicinity of Metz says that
capituation is imminent. Travellers arriving
at Brussels from Luxembourg say the surrender
has already occurred. The Prussian Monjteur
says the Emperor so exposed himself in the
battle before Sedan as to leave no doubt of his
intention to seek death.
The North German Gazette says of Jules
Favre's manifesto, that it begins with the
phrases and ends with the lies of lawyer, and
is all balderdash. The Prussian MOniteur
announces q delay of the time when damages
to shipping for the blockade may be de-
manded. 1t is remarked that the Reyeil,e and
MdrSeildise, which have been revived, pub
ish articles calculated to disturb order.
Henri Rochefort has addressed letter to the
editors, in which he says: ''When all opinions
are set aside, when the citizens arm against
the enemy, an article entitled REACTION and
signed by Cluseret, which actually incites to
civil war, appears in the MdrseIIGiSe. Per-
nit me to make known to the public that no
longer, in any manner, belong to that Journal"
LONDON, Sept. s.-[special to the New York

him to know the facts, and who guarantees its ac-

| Favre replied that the government of France

Berlin. She has already begun to arm and send
troops to her western frontier. If you ask what
can tempt Russia, Russia answers that the same

against France will sooner or later be turned
against Russia with view to acquire all the Ger

anchors, and is subject to continued surprises by
night from the Prussian gunboats which, coming
out of harbors known only to themselves, appear
among the French vessels either to rec0nnoitre or
blow them up with torpedoes.
The Prussian vessels being small and swift, risk
but little; but one success might destroy the French
squadron. The squadron can only coal on the

suitable vessels for blockading purposes The IRON
