Jules Favre yesterday received the employees Of
the Foreign Affairs Office who called to pay their
respects to the new Minister. NJ. Favre made short
speech, thanking them for the kindness they had
expressed toward him. He announced that he would
make no changes in the Office at present, as those
who were accustomed to the business were much
needed. He demanded the devoted assistance of all
in our national need Yesterday the foreign embas-
sadors here had meetings with the Ministers.
To-day Gen. Vinoy appeared before the ministers
and furnished explanations of his late march
toward Paris. He affirmed that he was closely
pressed by the advance of the Prussians during the
whole of his march. The Committee of Defense

think of resisting the Government because il is too
moderate.

tACTIoN OF THE ORLEANS PRINCESS

FACTION OF THE ORLEANS PRlNCESI
PARIS Thursday, sept. g, 1870.
The Journal de Paris says: I'VE were on the eve
of another revolution. Princes Joinyille dAumale
and Chartres were in Paris. They called on Minister
Favre and asked to share in the defensz of Paris.
NJ Fayre told them their presence might be misun-
derstood, and appealing to their patriotism, re-
quested them to leave the city, which the Princes
consented to do and they have since fulfilled their
promise.
The Journal de Paris says America has merited
well of the civilized world for addressing France in
the hour of peril and misfortune words of consola-
ton and hope, BY recognizing the French Republic,
America opens the way of peace. 1t must be that
the people of this continent will follow her example.
Il Areair National, one of the organs of the Gov
ernment, says We are brought to admire the Uni
ted States, which has always had right to our
respect because she enforced her rights and con-
quered independence. That country is for us liy-
ing lesson and constant instruction. This may
explain how highly we esteem its recognition and
good wishes.

French oicer) with the Baltic fleet, writes from Co.
penhagen Harbor on the Sd inst: 'The squadron
hitherto has done nothing but blockade the coasts
task involving numberless difficulties. The plan of
the campaign has not proved wise; the French
chiefs either failed TO define their intention
clearly or to understand the nature Of the sea
where the fleet was to operate. The fleet has no
base of operations no port of anchorage except by
retiring to neutral waters. Not having seized, it
might have, some small undefended islands off the
coast Of Schleswig the squadron, in fact, never
anchors and is subject to continued surprises in the
night from Prussian gunboats, which, coming out Of
harbors known only to themselves, appear amid
French vessels either to reconnoiter to blow them
up with torpedoes, as nearly happened in the road
stead of Dantzic, when Admiral Bouet anchored
under the very guns of the forts.
1.-The Prussian vessels, being small and swift, risk
little but if successful might destroy French YES
sci. The squadron can only take in coal on an open
sea- and in circumstances of danger A want is felt
of suitable vessels for blockading purposes IRON
clads too slow and of too great draft. Cruising
proves most difficult and perilous.
Admiral Bouet has separated the squadron into
two divisions With the first he blockades the shore
from the Russian frontier TO Rugen; the second,
under Admiral Dieudonne watches the coast from
Rngen to North Scheswig. There has been no i'm
portant encounter hitherto with the Prussian feet.
Two vessels, the Ocean and the Flandre, are about
returning to France.
"The news of MacMahon's and the Emperor's sur
render is just received. The latter little grief
for the fleet is not Bonapartist After such events
the squadron must remain inactive; but if the new
Government resolves to continues the struggle, it
will wage pitiless war OH the German coast"
