Details of the Surrender Of Met,


LONDON Nov. 1.-The following details of
the surrender of Bazaine's army at Metz are
published here this morning from various
sources. The independence Beige at Brussels
derives from an officer who escaped from Metz,
and from the Moselle Independence published
at Metz at the time of the entry of the German
troops, the fact that the French leaders to the
last deceived the army by promises to cut way
out.
These promises were solemnly repeated even
while the negotiations for surrender were pend
ing. The Independence Beige says Gambetta
was unquestionably right in charging Bazaine
with high treason. The population of Metz
were unanimous in
Denounciug Bazaine
as a traitor.
After the capitulation had been agreed on the
people followed the Marshal through the
streets, bowling the epithet traitor" in his
ears.
Effect of the News at Tours.
At Tours the news of the capitulation of Metz
fell upon the Government and people like
thunderbolt, so strong had been the official
assurance of its safety.
Some of the journals, however, and notably
the Constitutional Ft'ancdiS and the Gazette de
France, demand suspension of judgment, and
deprecate the strong language of Gambetta's
proclamation condemning Bazaine. The latter
journal suggests a council of war to investigate
the matter, in order to give the Marshal q fair
opportunity to make his defense.
tPresecutlon of the War.
The Government at Tours is in receipt of
several memorials numerously signed, in ada
cent departments, urging the prosecution of the
war to the bitter end and denouncing Bazaine
for his reasonable surrender of the strongest
fortication of the nation.
The Distinguished Prisoners.
Bazaine and suite reached Cassel on Monday.
Generals Canrobert, MacMahon, Leb@uf, Bar
deller, and Haptmann were hourly expected
there.
French and German Captures.
The German authorities have given orders
that the soldiers from Alsace and Lorraine, who
were captured at Metz, as well as those who
may hereafter be taken, will be separated from
other prisoners, as such will be regarded as
German and not French.
The Lately Investing Armies.
One corps of the army lately investing Metz
has been detailed to escort the prisoners to Ger
many. Two corps will go forward to join the
armies around Paris, and the other four will be
divided between the two armies now operating
in the north and south of France.
M. Theirs at Versailles.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Times of this morning
has a telegram from Versailles announcing that
Theirs passed through that place on Sunday, on
his way to Paris. He was to return to-day
CTuesday)
EThe general impression at London is, that
owing to the surrender of Bazaine nothing is
likely to come of these negotiations.
T. King william Reviewed
the Landwehr at Versailles on Sunday. The
troops made superb display.
Massacre by Italian Briaauds.
