As the procla mation of the Ministers announcing the capitulation of MacMahon's army and the capture of the Emperor becomes known the excitement among the people becomes inde scribable. All the evening great crowds have occupied the Place de la Gonoorde, it being known that a stormy soene had taken place in the Corps Legislatif. The story of the capture of the Emperor vaa freely circulated, but was not credited. It was reported that a dictatorship would be announced, and that a secret meeting was being held. The crowd anxiously awaited ewa, The Capital Struck Dumb. There was a large police foroe on the ground, but there was no violence. At last the crowds separated. At this hour many of the streets are still crowded with multitudes of anxious and excited people, but no disorder has taken place as yet. "LOUIS AND I.

ATTHK GENERAL IlKADqilARTEKS AT MKT, July 28, 1S70. On the 2d of August, when Frossard started out from Bt. Avoid at the head of 30,000 men, to make an assault on the Prussian pickets sta tioned on the heights overlooking Saarbrnck, Napoleon and tbe young Prince accompanied tbe advance, and occupied a position from which they could see the smoke and hear the roar of the artillery during the two hours' furious cannonade which placed seventy-two Prussians hora de combat. With his own little hand the young Prince turned the crank which. sent the contents of the first "bullet-squirt," as tbe Prussians style the mitrailleuse, into the ranks of the enemy; and after tbe mock battle was over, the august father of the lad sent the following touching telegram to his august mother in Paris: Louis has received his baptism of (ire. Tie was admirably cool and little Impressed. A division of Frossard s command carried tne neignts overlooking the Saar. The l'russlans made a brief resistance. Louis and I were In front, where bullets fell about us. Louis Keeps a nau ne piciceu up. xne soldiers wept at his tranquillity. We lost an o nicer and ten men. jnai'olkon. The cannonading commenced at 11 o'clock in the morning. By 1 in the afternoon it was over, and at 4 the Emperor and the "tranquil infant" were back in their cozy quarters behind the ramparts of Metz. From that day forward they were not exposed to another "baptism of fire." Welssenburg, Woerth, and Forbach followed, Nancy and Pont-a-Mousson fell into the hands of the enemy; Metz was no longer a comfort able place for Imperial residence; and early on the morning of Sunday, August 14, tbe Emperor set out in advance of his beaten and baffled army to seek safety at Chalons. It had been reported, even from Paris, that a special train had carried the young Prince to Paris on the evening of August 7, and from London that he had arrived in that city on the 9th. But these reports were unfounded, and "Louis and I" were still in company when the exodus from Metz began, on the morning of Sunday, the 14th. A correspondent of the Dublin Irish Times thus describes the adventures of the Imperial party, and their narrow escape from falling into the enemy's hands: In the course of Sunday last the Prussians, on hearing that tbe Emperor had left Metz en rent?, as it was understood, to Chalons, made a dasti in the hope of capturing his Majesty. It was about half-past 8 when the Emperor proceeded from Metz to Longuevllle, where be put up at the bouse of Colonel Uenoegn, his staff encamping on the lawn. Always capitally Informed, the Prussians took it Into their heads to carry oil bis Imperial Majesty. Hiding themselves during the night in the little thickets round the Chateau Prescatl and the neigh boring farms, they sent a squadron of Uhlans across the railroad, while they opened lire on the vlllagn of Moullns, situated to the left of Longuevllle, In order to Intercept all aid. Fortunately for the Emperor the French engineers blew up the railway bridge nnder this fire, and the Uhlans being cut off, and finding a strong force at Longuevllle, tturrendered The next night the Emperor passed at Oravelotte in the bouse of a farmer named Plaisant ; Saturday, four A. M., be got Into an open chaise, with the Prince Imperial, and drove away, taking the valiey the most remote from the Moselle. As the Prussian gunners were already getting In motion, It was found necessary to protect tho road with the grenadiers ef tne guard ana inree regiments or cavalry. The Emperor passed through Conrians, break fasted at Etaln and entered Verdun without further molestation. At this moment Marshal Bazalne was engaged in checking the armies of Prince Frederick Charles and Marshal Stelntnetz. A start' oittcer gal loped into Verdun with the news of the result, but th Emperor bad just left for Chalons, with tho Prince Imperial and hardly any escort. At the station be asked for a train. "Sire," said the station master, "I have nothing to offer yon but a third-class carriage." "I will content myself with that," replied the Euperor, who took bis seat on the hard board, refusing a cushion from his carriage. lie asked for a glass of wine, and the station mas ter washed out the glass he bad just used at break fast and gave the Emperor a drink. The lTince Imperial, who was greatly fatigued, demanded to wash bis hands ami face, aud per formed bis ablutions In the station master's glass, using bis pocket handkerchief for a towel. On the morning of the 17 th the Emperor reached Chalons. From Chalons "Louis and I" appeared to have journeyed leisurely to Rhelms, where they were reported to have arrived on the 30th of August. From that time forward the Emperor followed the army of MacMahon, declaring, when urged to return to the capital, that ho would not do so alive unless it was at the head of a victorious army. So far he has kept his word. On the 24 th the Imperial headquarters, following MacMahon's army, left Rhelms, and arrived at Rethel, half way on the road to Me zierci, early on the morning of the 25th. On Sunday, the 28th, the Prince Imperial was pushed forward to Sedan, the Emperor following apparently on the next day. From that time forward it is Impossible to trace their move ments. Several times the Emperor was reported at the point of death, and once or twice he was actually a corpse ; but he revived sufficiently to put in an appearance on the morning of Septem ber 2, when he eclat a note to the King of Prus sia, saying : "As I cannot die at the head of my army, I lay my sword at the feet of your Majesty." And on that day, just five weeks after he had assumed the chief command at Metz, he was a prisoner of war, dependent upon the pleasure of King William for the place of his future resi dence. On the afternoon of the 1st it is said that be telegraphed to the Empress "All goes xconderfully well; our plans all succeed." But there is doubtless no truth is the report. As for the latest movements of the Prince Im perial, they, too, are Involved In some doubt. Tbe Paris Moniteur reported his arrival at Avesnes, some 50 miles N. W, of Sedan, on the morning of the 80th; and on Saturday, the 3d of Septem ber, after MacMahon's capitulation, he was re ported to have arrived at Chimay, a Belgian town about 33 miles N. W. of fcedaa. This report also turns out to have been unfounded, and tbe lespatches received this morning an nounce that "Louis and 1" remained inseparable in defeat at Sedan, as they had been inseparable In victory at Snarbruck one calendar month before, aud that tho Prince Imperial of France is a prisoner of war, as well as his Imperial father. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," and the prospect of a crown frequentlv brings with it as much uneasiness as Its actual posses sion. 11IE FRENCH LWHSLITUKE, lhe Suppressed Paris Newspapers and the iHiaie or Mine.

My ques tion is concerning the uso which tho Cabinet Intend to make of the powers confcired on the Govern ment by tho state of siege. (Interruptions from several benches.) From tho Left Excellent! excellent! M. Jules Ferry The Chamber has Just set a splendid example ol patriotic union. 1 regret to say that that union is disturbed by repressive mea sures, the character of which Is not in aisuord with the importance of the present crisis.

I ask the President or the Council of State if that Is so. I carry the question further, and ask the Cabinet whether it thinks It necessary or becoming, in the present grave and exciting situation, to maintain the suae of siege. (Murmurs.)

M. Eugene Pelletan They are our domestic ene mies who give France up to the foreigner and refuse to arm the city. M. Jules Ferry The state of war gives the mili tary authorities all rights and powers needful for military defense. I need not go through the provi sions to secure that object. Hut, gentlemen, what Is the state of siege ? M. le Compte de la Tonr We cannot discuss that. M. Jules Ferry Is it one of the varieties ot war? Do not believe it, gentlemen. A state of siege Is the suspension of the most essential liberties it is the right of delivering up citizens to a military tribunal, and denying them their natural judges; it Is the right of unlimited visits and unlimited arrests (No, no," from the Eight) ; the right of suppressing jour nalsin a word, it is the dictatorship against insur. rection. Well, I know we are at present engaged in war, and in a great war, but I defy any one o say, after the events of the last few days, that we are In a state of Insurrection. (Great applause from tho Left.) If any one should say so, I would appeal to those who saw Paris and tho approaelkcs of tho Legislative Body yesterday. (Oh ! oh !) L. le Comte Ue la Tour Is not a part of Prussia In In a state of siege? M. Jules Ferry Let any one dare to say that ho has heard rising from the great crowd which is ani mated at this time by a single thought, a mad deli rium the delirium of patriotism ("Excollentl ex cellent !'' from near the speaker ; murmurs from the Eight) a single seditious cry, a solitary insurrection ary appeal.

Influence ef tbe United Htatea on the Ameni ties of War The Prussian ltellef Hoclety. In unite of the exaggerated stories of German oat. rages, the information is positive that the articles of the treaty of Geneva, in respect to wounded sol diers, govern the entire hospital service in the Prussian army, and that the care of tho sick and wounded is provided for in a manner unknown in the history of war until after the organization of the United (states banitary commission. This stu pendous charity made a complete revolution in the methods of caring for wounded soldiers ; and Its ex ample Is now followed whenever a civilized country is betrayed or driven into tbe barbarism of war. The Geneva Convention of October, l!63, gave rise to tbe international treaty of August Si, ll. Im mediately thereafter, and before this treaty had been Hlgned oy h.ing w uuam nameiy, in reura ol the same year tbe Central Prussian Relief St ety was formed In Berlin, having for its objects First, in time ol war to aid the royal administration of ambulances and hospitals iu providing for sick and wounded soldiers: and. second, in time of peace te prepare suitable means for the accomplish ment OI who osjeci. ma suuiuijr uuaini us actions and regulations on the principle embodied in the in ternational treaty, and during the fcelileswlg-llol. stein campaign carried on Its operations upon the broad and humane conception of treating all tue wounded and sick of both belligerents upon terms of the strictest neutrality. Previous to this, the spirit of civilized warfare reached Its aome shortly after the battle of Monte- belie, when Louis Napoleon decreed, on the 26th of JHjr, kUtlb Ul nuuUUCU JJIUSVUUIB ouaii uc ue- llvered without exchange so soon as their condition may permit them to return to their country."

After the war with Denmark, and during the Aus-tro-ITusfian-Italian conflict, tho same spirit ani mated th) Germans In their care of sick aud wounded soldiers, and these enorts were supple mented by similar societies, although not to so great an extent, undor the protection of Napoleon and Eugenie; the Kmperor having also become a party to the International Treaty. Tbe first article of this treaty shows the breadth and scope of the Interest it was intended to serve. Ambulances, hospitals, and all material destined to aid the sick and wounded upon land and sea, are recognised as neutral, and as such protected and respected by belligerents. The members of the Societies of Relief for wounded soldiers In the laud and naval services of every country, their auxiliary attendants, and their uiaio rial, tbe, inhabitants of the country, as well sm volun teer aids aud nurses, the sick or wounded oldirs of every naiiouolity, the convoys of the health s-ir-vicc, with the persons who direct them, are pro tected by an absolute neutrality. The badge of this service, a red cross upon a white ground. Is respected wherever It la seen, and every habitation In which a woanded soldier Is re reived and ear d for U accorded the same protec tion. There are minor details providing for the recognition of the wounded; their protection from piliugo and bad treatment; the recognition and burial of the dead ; preserving the Identity of the soldier; the completion and transfer of lists of sick, wounded and dead ; but these show the broad hu manity and generous treatment of wounded bellige rents, which, originating In the Sanitary Commis sion of the United States, now characterize all the armies of civilized nations. Tho organization of the I'runsian Medical Service, particularly Its hospital or ganization, is one of tne iuobi complete in tne world. Fvery corps is provided with material and nurses iiecesaary for three field hospitals and three ambu lances, besides a competent medical corps and de tachment of troops specially detailed to take up the wonnded and remove them to tho ambulances or temporary hospitals. Furthermore, they allow vol untary aids (who wear the internatlmal badge upon the arm) to keep close up to the battle-fields; they encourago the gifts of the common people for succor to the wounded, and they have fitted up Immense trains of hospital cars upon tbe railways. Indeed, before the war began, tho German railroad companies prepared Bii' h cars, and tbe Berlin Board of Trade, upon the recommendation of distinguished sargeons, ordered no fewer than sixty or tne best Hospital cars to be constructed, and all the furniture to lie in readiness; tne cars oeing put into ordinary service on tne rail ways, without the special furniture, long before the memorable lftth of July, which gave birth to the proclamation of war. Personal aid has not yet been requested, but large sums have been subscribed to assist In providing surgeons, medicines, and commissary stores for the hoDltal service. Tho Americans In Paris havn subscribed more than 10,000 francs for these pur- yoses. l no central vomniiu-ee oi tne international iellcf Committee have established a chief general agency at Basle in Switzerland, whence there are uotn uennan ana trencn railways, runda are needed by this agency, and circulars have already been distributed, asking for contributions to be used.not by either or the belligerents but by this neu tral society, which Is organized under the Interna tional treaty, and has a sister society in this country.

These elongated Bath chairs are so light that they may be lifted with ease over ditches or carried by two men, one before, one be hind, over heavy ground. It is satisfactory to see that the art of solacing the wounded In some measure keeps pace with that of maiming tne sound, it iook just two nours for all the troops that had passed the night of the 8th In Saarbruck to get out or the town this morning. At halt-past ten the streets were empty, deserted. The villagers had come to market as usual, and.Tuesday being marcei oaj, me market, as usual, was neid. Waiters In the hotels suggested breakfast, which, until then, they had declared themselves utterly un able to serve; business went on as usual, and the town, which bad been partially bombarded a week be fore, and which three days before had been agitated ty the musketry and artillery accompaniment of a battle as bloody as that'of Inkermann, was as quiet as iteacnng or uunuiuru. wuaiisBim more extra ordinary is that semo is,ooo troops, with a most abundant train, naa scarcely yet quitted tne town, from which they moved without music, without drums, almost without a word of command being heard. No shouting, no hurrying, no confusion of any kind. All was rapidity and regularity a few necessary, not unioreseen stoppages, oat no blocks. When the troops had fairly left the place I follawed them to the hills and watched them joined bv othor troops rrom neignounng encampments, as in an un broken line tne mam ooay maae its way towards jroruaco. THE SCANDINAVIAN POWERS. Frellnc of the Northern (Governments Rus. irian Influence and tbe Tendeacy Towards Fiance. A Copenhagen correspondent of the Brussels .Yor tic, under date of August 15, writes as follows: Every one Is now aware of the attitude of thn Scandinavian States during the existing war. In spite of sympathies towards France so strongly de- ciareu at copeuuugeu auu dioukuoiiu, counsels or prudence have prevailed, and all that Is wanted now Is to knew If tho neutrality of other powers is certain enough to permit Sweden and Denmark to keet) indefinitely out oi tne great continental strug gle. The Swedish Government even believed Itself caned on to require tne journals to avoid ail polemics which might morally compromise Sweden with one or other oi tne belligerents. This recommendation was perhaps not altogether supernuous, ior a leaning towards i ranco was mani fested in several organs or tne press in rather a cu rious fashion. The Journals of Stockholm and Co penhagen, of more or less Scandinavian sympathies, instead of confining themselves to the discuHSlon of the Immediate and direct consequences of participa tion In the war by (Sweden aud Denmark, profited by the opportunity to develop long considerations on the position of Russia and on her future policy m rtspect to the two (States.

The Mexican who had the mother of the children was the most reluctant, and acted most defiantly of any of them. There is another 1oy captured, but the chief who holds blm did not come In. The agent bas sent word to him not to come into tbe agency without the boy. The behavior of the Indians is reported as outrageous. Their young men stampeded the cattle belonging to the agency, stole pro visions, clothing, etc., and behaved generally in a defiant manner. According a long-established custom, tho agent paid tbe Indians for tbe cap tives brought in, $100 for each, $600 for all. The Indian office bas concluded not to follow tbe practice heretofore adopted of paying .In dians money or goods for the captives they steal, as experience proves that this action is certainly placing a premium upon such vil lainy.

It is certain, at least, that the movement of money -Westward during the past week bas steadily fallen off, and that the tide of exchange is beginning, to be in our favor- owing to the dullness in breadstuff, and heavy reuiHiBiiuCT m pjriucm, w orucrs ior mercnan- disc and manufactured goods.
