COPENHAGEN, Sept. S-NOon.
hasten to report specially the important fact
that the French sqadrOn now sewing III the Baltic
under command OF Admiral BouGt- Willaumez, has
accepted and acknowledge the authority OF the
new government of France.
Admiral Willaumez keeps his men employed In
general everyday ship duty, but remains in anxious
expectation OF an official notification of the CON-
plete organization Of the republican executive OF
defence to save the country, accompanied by naval
orders from the new regime IN Paris.
The naval ports Of Brest, Havre and Cherbourg
are being placed In a state of complete defence
rapidly. The works are carried on at each place
with wonderful rapidity and the most exact regu-
larity.
correspondent, French officer with the Baltic
feet, writes from Copenhagen harbor, September 8,
that the squadron hitherto had done ntthing but
blockade the coast, and the task encountered num-
berless difficulties. The plan Of the campaign has
not proved wise. The French government failed
TO define the object clearly, or to understand the
nature OF the sea where the feet was to
operate. The fleet can have no base or port OF an
chorage except by retiring to neutral waters; not
having seized, as it was FIRST said it would some of
the small unde ended Islands Oh the coast OF Sch.es-
wig.
The squadron, In fact, never anchors, and is sub
ject to continued surprises In the night from the
Prussan gunboats. which, coming out Of harbors
known only to themselves, appear among
the French vessels either to rec0nn0itre or
blow them up with torpedoes as has nearly
happened in the roadstead Of Dantzig, where Admi-
raj Bouet Willaumez, anchored under the very
guns OF the forts. The Prusslan vessels, being small
and swift, risk but little but one success might de-
stroy the French squadron.
The squadron can only coal on the open sea, ant
with great danger.
want Is felt OF suitable vessels for bl ockadins
purposes The irOn-ciads are too SLOW and OF grea
draught, and cruising proves most difficult anc
perilous.
Admiral B0uet Willaumez has separated the
squadron into two DIVISIONS The Erst division
blockade the shore from the Russian frontier ~
Rugen; the second, under Admiral Diend0rne,
watches the coast from Rtgen to North Schleswig,
No important encounter has been had with the
Prussian feet. Two vessels-the ocean and
Fanders-are about to return to France
The news Of MacMahons and the Emperor's sur
render has just been received. The latter causes
but little grief for the men OF the neet are not Bona
partists. After such events the squadron must re-
main inactive; but II the new government resolves
to continue the struggle WILL as both officers and
men declare, wage fearful war on the German
coast.

BERLIN, Sept. 8, 1870.
The part of Lorraine now in Prussian hands
and all of Alsace probably represent the
territory to be demanded from France
as an indemnity by Prussia. The west
ern frontier will begin at Escb, on
the border of Luxembourg, flanking the
river Moselle, at about ten miles from its
western bank, crossing that stream at Curney,
half way between Metz and Pont a Mousson
then following the course Of the Moselle and
Meurthe ten miles from the eastern bank OF the
latter to Mont Dopon. The southwestern
frontier will consist of the present boundaries
ofthe departments of Upper and Lower Rhine
(Haut and Bas Rhin). This district compre-
bends Alsace aud Saarsburg, Saargemund
Meta, Thionville, Chateau Salins, Pfalz-
bourg, Bitche, Wissembourg, &c.
