The SURRENDER OF METz.-An Ostend des.
patch says that upon receiving formal declar
alton signed by the Empress, that she was un-
willing to sign treaty involving the csssion
of French territory, OF to be party to any
scheme involving probable outbreak of civil
war in Europe. Bazaine exclaimed that he
would take all the necessary responsibility
himself. This was on Wednesday and parle
naenteur was at onco sent to Prince Charles al
Pont Mosson, who came at night to Chateau
de Frescoy, where stipulations were signed fol
the surrender of the army of Bazaine and the
fortress of Metz. The report adds that Gen.
DeCofinieres, commandant of the garrison OF
Metz, entered written protest against the sur
render, declaring that he was abundantly able
to protract the defence into the winter; that
the recent defeats OF the Germans made it
practically impossible for them to imperil the
possession ofthe place; and that the stock OF
provisions was abundant both for the army and
population.
A despatch from Metz on Thursday, by way
of London says that Gen. Cofinieres, inform
ed Marshal Bazaine five days before that he
could supply no more provisions for the army
vi MOuudy AFTERNOON
Bazaine having convinced Cofinieres that it
was useless to attempt to cut their way through
the Prussian lines, messenger was sent to
Prince Frederick Charles intimating the in
tenton Of the fortress to capitulate. This was
the first proposition ever made for including
the fortress and outside army. Accordingly
at midnight, the Prussian troops which had
been massed silently towards Gravelotte, re-
ceived orders to retire to their camps. Yester-
day afternoon Gen. Changarnier with pleni.
potent:ary spent an hour with the Prince, and
departed much disturbed, excusing some
Observation-Disclosures Of his own by saying, "No
wonder the Prince was so severe.''
The second corps of the Prussian army at
once began to march for Paris.
The surrender of Bazaine, it is stated, was
made upon full understanding with the
Prussian government that the occupation of
Metz and Strasbourg shall be accepted as an
adequate basis for Withdrawing the German
armies from France and concluding peace
The Republicans in London loudly declare the
Marshal traitor and that he coucocted his
action with Prince Napoleon, the Emperor
and King William, and hat the government
at PARIS and Tours will repudiate any peace
nroposed or signed by him.

The treaty for the annexation Of San Do
mingo to the United States was negotiated
by President Baez and United States Com
mercial Agent Perry ct San Domingo. This
treaty, with o secret message Of the Presl-
dent OF the United States, will be sent to
the Senate Monday. Of the truth Of this
statement there is no doubt. The govern
ing motive for the acquisition Of san Do
nlingo is its geographical position relative
to this country Is means OF national de-
fence as well as its general maritime al
vantages. The purchase aud occupation OF
tie bay Of SANTANA by the United States
was preliminary to this. Several senators
familiar with the negotiations think San
Domingo is as important to the United
States US Cuba, and that its acquisition will
tic more easily lead to the possession OF
that island. 1t may be that tue President,
III lis message recommending the ratiica-
ton Of the treaty, will briefly give his rea-
sons. It is certain that he has stated them
to his intimate friends. The text OF the
treaty, though not published, certainly con-
tains the following propositions

ment OF all obligations Of the Republic OF

these obligations, San Domingo cedes to the
United States all the 1orts, docks, custom

over the territory. :,
6. San Domingo to be annexed or acquired
