martial o.day the reading Of N. Rivler'i
report was continued. He argued tt
show that the means OF communication
between Metz and Paris were ample, and
that Bazaine's s refusal to copjoin his forces
with the other armies in the field was
criminal The Marshal Is accused OF pur.
suing q personal policy by which the
enemy pfofited. There Is evidence that
he even refused to assistin the effort made

attributed, partially TO. the hesitation
caused by the news from Sedan and
Paris, and partially, TO ssh his secret
negotiations with the enemy. What.

signed. Had Bazaine done. his duty, by
taking his army into the interior Of
France, leaving Metz 70 defend herself

Rivier continues: A foreign war was not
enough. Ourcountry was condemned TO
the horrors Of civil war, and what did
Malshal Bazaine do then ? He united
with the enemy 10 overthrow the govern,
ment ii his country. The report con-
demns the Marshal for failing to destroy
the materials Of war left at Metz, while
he was careful to destroy all ,correspon-
dence which might compromise him .for
frequently receiving in. person the visit Of
German officers, and Tor generally mani
testing undue haste to .capitulate to the
enemy. .,,-.-,.
The reading OF the report was not con.

negotiations have overcome It's objections.
PARIS, Oct. S-A very inharmonious
meeting OF the members Of the extreme
left of the Assembly was held to-day.
Among those present were Gambetta,
Cremiux and Challemel LaCuer. A mum.
Der of letters from the provinces were
read, expressing strong aversion to the
establishment OF Monarchy, an aversion
which is daily increasing. Gambetta de.
clared that he felt no. the least anxiety
concerning the permanency OF the Re
public. He was certain that the proposi'
ton to establish q Monarchy could not
obtain the vote Of the majority Of the
assembly. 4Ia7 E.e.ana-a4
