Ovation 10 Victor Hugo.

PARIS, September IA great ovation was
given to Victor Hugo yesterday on his arrival
at the Northern Railway Station. The large
place of St. Lazairel was filled with people
mostly of the lower order, and double file OF
the National Guards, and Guard Mobile was
drawn up as guard OF honor on the high
ground around the station.
A number of democratic leaders of Paris,
Including Rocheiort, Victor's sons, Bizoin,
Michelet L,bonace and others, assemble to
meet the exiled poet and patriot. A hasty
arch had been thrown up over the station, and
wreaths, with flags of France, Italy, the United
States, Switzerland and Spain Much atten'
ton was excited by the appearance among
these standards of the flag OF the German re-
public of lS4S.
As the venerable exile appeared, supported
by his friends, to enter the carriage that had
been sent for him by Jules Favre. he was
greeted with enthusiastic shouts. When these
had somewhat subsidized, be spoke in a full,
clear voice, and with great earnestness and
simplicity of action, these words;
Citizens: | have come back from an exile
of twenty years. simultaneously with the
republic I come TO defend in Paris, the capital
OF civilization Paris must not be sullled by
invasion. To invade it is to invade liberty
it is TO invade civilization. No such invasion
shall triumph. Paris will be saved by the
union Of all souls-all hearts, all arms IN her
defense.
The defeat of Paris means new hatreds, new
resentments, new barriers between the people,
Paris must be victorious in the name of frater-
| nifty, for only by making the fraternity OF oil
possible, can the liberty of all be gained.
Pointing to the American flag, Victor Hugo
said /: That banner Of stars speaks to day to
Paris and to France proclaimipg miracles Of
power which arc easy to great people con,
tending for the great principlo-the liberty Of
every race, the fraternity of all.
The speech was immensely cheered, and the
speaker was fairly carried by the people to the
carriage. He looks we'll, though aged. His
long locks are gone, his dark beard white but
the eyes arc full Of fire, and his voice as firm a:

only % were admitted. They were, altogether,

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1870.

EUROPEAN AFFAGRs.-While efforts at ne.
gotiaion for peace evidently continue to be
made, iti is reported from Berlin that all thought
of mediation or Intervention is abandoned tor
the present. Nevertheless from all accounts it is
hardly probable that there will be any more
fighting, and intervention is eagerly sought.
According to Paris correspondent of the New
York Tribune, there will be, with Vinay's
troops, but DO, 600 troops in Paris in demorali'
zed condition, besides $4,000 armed National
Guards. 10000 Mobiles, and about 5000 arm,
ed volunteers, which is all the armed force
that can be counted on for defense. Fear is also
expressed that if an armed force is ordered to
the ramparts ''the scum of the populace will
pillage the city. The telegraph continues to
announce that the Prussians are marching on
Paris. The column by way Of Laon had on yes
terday turned that position; while the advance
of the column moving from Epernay is report
ed to have reached La Ferte Gaucher, forty
miles from Paris. It is expected that they
will be before the fertilization of Paris to-day.
The Prussiaus occupy Rheims and st. DizIer
in force. From Strasbourg comes the inteli.
gepce, through the French consul at Basic,
Switzerland, that the garrison made sortie
on Tuesday night, killing from eight to ten
thousand Prussians. Negotiations for the
capitulation of Metz are said to be still pro-
crossing. The abandonment OF the siege OF
Montmedy by the Prussians is generally re-
garded with wonder. Rumors are cnrrent IN
Paris that republic has been proclaimed at
Florence, and Humbert, Crown Prince of Italy,
declared President Republican revolutionary
demonstrations continue to be reported in
Spain. The new French administration, it is
stated, has decided to 60 Immediately to Tours,
and if necessary from thence to Marseilcs.
The Emperor has arrived at Wilhemsohe, his
present place of confinement, and all attention
and courtesy is shown him there. The
special New York 1'ribune's correspondent
makes curious statement, as "reliable,' to
the effect that Favre refused to encourage the
republican demonstrations in Madrid on the
ground that the spread Of republicanism will
terrify and ALLEVIATE Russia, with which power
the provisional government, acting 10 an i'm
peria capacity, is now negotiating for treaty
OF alliance against Prussia, by which Russia
agrees to declare war on Prussia and march di-
rectly fer Berlin if the latter Government
should prove too exactirg in its terms ofpeace.
Russia's reasons are that the power of Prussia
becomes too formidable to be sale if the
strengthen France is broken; all of which is more
than doubtful. French officers say that Mo.
Mahon's surrender was partially due to treason
in his own army. No call will be made Tor
vote on the present Government OF France
until the war is over.
