Some of our German friends who are dis
posed to criticise the haste with which the
United States recognized the present govern
ment of France, should remember that this
was not Il case of doubt, as where there are
two conflicting governments, but that there
was as matter of fact no government in France
except the one recognized. Unless President
Grant had decided to recall our representative,
on the ground that the country was without a
government, we do not see how he could have
done otherwise than instruct him to recognize
the only government or pretense of govern
ment in existence there. And furthermore, il
was eminently proper for our government to
express its hearty sympathy with any move
ment looking TO the establishment of Re
public anywhere in the wide world. Will
that question our sympathies in the Franco
Prussian war have absolutely nothing whatev'
er to do We may sympatiize wholly with
Germany in the issues involved in the war
and yet express our satisfaction that France
may cndeavor TO pluck the flower liberty
from the nettle danger.

THE Loss OF THE ENGLISH IRoN-cLAD "CAP-

down company of 500 souls-saving and ex-
ccpting-so far as known-1S of the crew that
reached in one of the boats Cape CoTroheds,

clad, she was put to sea rather as an evidence
the possibility of combining the invulnerabili
ty of Monitor, with the seaworthiness OF
ship of-the-line. SO far as this was viewed in
the light of an experiment, it has proved la
mentable failure Admiral Milne makes the

THE Wan NEWS, tins week is not of a de-
cisive, or definite character. The Prussians
are moving at their ease and pleasure upon
Paris, and the cavalry advance has been seen
withina short distance of the city. The mass
of the army is said to be within two or three
days march, and its announcement as before
the defenses, need not create surprise at any
time. In the meantime the sieges of Metz
and Strasburg are carried on without abate-
ment, and If we may credit the assertions
which hardly admit Of question-in the midst
of much suffering, and carnage. The past
week has not been so productive of gascona-
ding proclamations of French power and val
or, and the untold calamities that would be
visited upon the Prussians for driving their
enemies to desperation in siege oil Paris
The work of preparation for such a state of
things is going on, and the state of defence
and the amount of supplies, seem 10 encour-
age the hope of a stubborn and continued re-
sistance. Though clustering confidence is
shown upon the surface there are evidences
enough, that can hardly be mistaken, of doubt
and dismay The work of burning away the
forest, and removing buildings within range
of the defences, appears by the frequent repe-
tition of the dispatches, to be progressing, and
the filling of the moats with water, look as If
there was work and strategy for the beseigers
before becoming the occupants of the capitol.
While this is going on, there are rumors and
reports of diplomatic notes from the neutral
powers to King William, having for their OBJ
Iject an armistice or cessation OF hostilities.
THESE we take TO be the emanations of the
brains of letter writer's. No doubt the Prus-
sian King will be ready TO treat for peace
when the French authorities show that such is
their wish, and put forth some one who is au'
thorized TO enter into negotiations, and bind
the nation to make good the stipulations
both present and future.
AS there is no news-no war like occurrences
to lay before our readers, we shall, of course
have TO await the course of events, and wher
anything turns up, to give our readers the ben

Eugenie.

INTERVIEW OF THE EMPRESS AND HER son.
A dispatch from London says The En-
press Eugenie is still at the Marine Hotel in
Hastings attended by Ferdinand de Lesseps,
Madame de Lesseps and Madame Thiery. All
the ladies of the Court who came with her
Majesty to Belgium remained in that country.
Her meeting with the Prince Imperial on
Friday morning, was most sad and touching.
The Prince threw himself weeping into his
mothers arms, sobbng, 20, Nom pdnore papa P'
The Empress behaved with extreme dignity
aud tenderness. Ht
No newspaper in hastings yesterday allud-
ed to the arrival of the Empress the secret
being kept by common consent. In the course
of the day amessenger with letters from them,
both for the Emperor, endorsed by the Prus-
sian Embassy, in London, left Dover for Os-
tend on his way to Wihelmshohe The En-
press sent for all the newspapers of the day
Immediately after her arrival, and watched
the course of ev ents with the most lively at
tention.
Last evening her Majesty was indsposed
and physician was sent for. This morning
her Majesty made her first appearance in pub
lie at Hastings. She attended mass in the
morning at the Catholic chapel with M. dc
Lesseps, Mime Thierry and the Prince Impe
rial. A crowd assembled about the chapel. AS
she passed through the ranks of the people
they all took of their hats with general i'm
pulse of respectful sympathy, which the EN-
press acknowledged by gravely bowing, anC
the Prince by taking off his cap. The EN-
press face was full of subdued but visibl

The idea has been expressed that the Ger
mans cannot surround Paris and starve it into
surrender without force much greater than
is now supposed to be advancing on the city.
II will not be necessary, AS many persons sup
pose, for the Germans TO form ring around
Paris, thus preventing ingress or egress of in
diyiduals. On the contrary, they will simply
hold the principal lines of approach and de-
str1y the railroads running into the city.
Without these means of supply Paris could
not hold out many days. All the railways
and rivers Of the country, if they had been
used exclusively for transportation of supplies
for the past month, would not have been sui-
iicicnt to supply the city with six months sur
plus provisions for her 100000 Of popula-
ton. There is probably not weeks supply
of food in Paris at this time.

PoplsH TEMPoRAL1TIEs are at length
swept away. The defeat of Napoleon,
and the Withdrawal of the French army
OF occupation, furnished ltaly's opportu-
nifty to complete her nationality. No
unreasonable time was lost in taking ad-
vantage of it, and the jurisdiction OF the
Italian government may, at length, be
said to reach throughout the whole pen
insula. The approach Of the national
army appears to Lave in no wise been
received as that Of the coming of AN en-
emy. The Italians were warmly welcom-
cd during the whole of their route, and
the telegraph says that the Papal troops
themselves FASTENED to fraternize with
the approaching forces, whom they evi'
IDENTIFY regarded as liberators, not inva-
ders. A small show of fight was, it is
true, in a single instance, but at the end
of an hour the resistants capitulated and
were made prisoners of war-no doubt
lot to their own regret. His Holiness,
as is natural, is by no means reconciled
to the situation, but he cannot consist
emily complain at being at length obliged
to acknowledge the same influence which
alone has enabled him to maintain him
self in power more than score of years
the force OF physical power. He is
to-day, at all events, in a position supe'
rior to that which he held when last
driven from his throne. No mean dis
guise of his person is now necessary, and
his life is rot endangered. His position
AS head of the Church will not be ques
toned, and fitting residence in Rome
itself will probably be secured to him
Neither himself nor his late brother il
royalty has any longer a claim to b.
ranked in the list of European Sover
egns. This is undoubtedly one of tn
good results already effected through th
declaration of the new French Republic
the stability of which will doubtless b
rapidly followed by kindred events i,
other parts of oppressed Europe.
