The lnd petulance de la Hostile, published a Metz, contains what purports to be an ottiuial communication verbally made to the otlicers by their chiefs on tee lUth of October, 1870, and committed to writing immediately after by several oflieers who met in order mutually to verify their recollections. It is in substance as follows: "UtnUemen: I am ordered by the General of Di vision, and on the pert of the Marshal Command-Irg-in-Chir-f, to make yon acquainted with important facts which have been accomplished during the iait lew days. The provisions or the place of Metz de ceasing more aud more, Marshal Bazatne thought it right to enter into pourparlers wlih the enemy, lie appointed General Bojer, his first ald-de-camp, who proceeded to Versailles, the headquarters of King William. The ea nest manner with which the larihals envoy was received seems to show that the Prussians are very desirous to terminate the war. Thus, General lioyer having travelled by railroad lroni Mctz to chateau Thierry, the sou vice of the train was Interrupted in order to make his travelling more rapid. At Chateau Thierry, a carriage with the armorial bearings of fie King of Prussia was in wailing to take him to Versailles. As soon as he arrived the General was received by Count Bismarck, who forwarded to the King his demand for an audience. He was at once Intro duced, and found himself in the presence of a coun cil of war, at which the principal chiefs of the Prus sian army were sitting, under the presidency of the King. General Bojer having stated the object of his mlKBlon, General Moltke spoke and declared that in a waiter purely military negotiations could not be long. The army of Mctz was to submit to the same fato as the army of (Sedan, and surrender as prisoners ot war. Count Bismarck observed that the political view of the matter must take the lead over the military view. 'I should be inclined,' he continued, 'to admit of a convention which would allow the army of Metz to withdraw to an appointed place on the French territoTyt-in order to protect there all deliberations necessary to secure peace." This idea was suggested to M. de Bismarck by the difficulties which arose from the Prussian Government Itself, from the absence of a government in France. In deed, the information gatntred by the General on his way, from station-masters ami various persons, as well as the newspapers which he has been able to bring here, unlortunately leave no room for doubt on that point. The most com plete anarchy at present prevails in France. Paris, invested, starved, and deprived of external commnnlcations, must open her gates to the Prussians within a few days ; civil disc ird paralyzes her defense; the members of the Com mittee of National ucfense have been overpowered; Gambctta and Keratry have gone away by balloon the one fell at A miens, the other at tUr-le-Due. Disorder is at its utmost pitch in the south of France. The red nag is floating at Lyons, Marseilles, aud Bordeaux. An army of Breton volunteers has been destroyed near Orleans. Normandy, overrun by bands of brigands, has called on the Prussians to re-establish order. Havre, Klbant, Rouen, are now garrisoned bj Prussians, who co-operate with the Rational Guard for the preserva tii n J of public security. A movement of a religious character has been started In La Veu dee. The north is ardently wishing for peace. Prus sia claims Lorraine and Alsace and several thousand millions of francs as a war indemnity ; Italy cltims Savoy. Nice, aud Corsica. The Provisional Govern ment being dispersed, the various towns not agree ing as to the form of a new government, aud the Orleans Princes not having prtseuted themselves, this anarchy is the cause or unforeseen difficulty for the Prussian Government, which is Inclined to treat for peace. They cannot think of laylug down the basis for negotiations unless they address them selves to the de facto Government which existed before the 1st of September, namely, the Regency It is not yet knowa whetner, under present clrcum stances, the Regency will consent to listen to pro posals for peace ; but, in case of a retinal, the Chamber of deputies, elected by untvcri.il suffrage and which still legally represents the nation, can alone be Invoked. However, iu order that tile Corps Legtslatif, which continued its Bluings up to the is of September, can reassemble for deliberation, H must tie protected by a French army. Such Is the part which the army of Metz will uudonbtedly have to fulfil." After this speech, which was listened to amid profound silence, the assembly of officers was de clared closed. General Buyer, in his letter to the Independence lli he, says: "More moderate than M. Garubctta, I will conilue myself to a protest agaiust his unqualified violence, and in the name of the whole Army of the Khiue, from watch I received the mission which took me to Versailles and Lou don, aud In the name of its glorious leader I declare that M. (iambetta offends the public conscience, as much as our brave soldiers, in speaking ol lufainy and rascalities. We did not capitulate with honor or with duty, we capitulated with hunger." UNDER LOCK AND KEY. 1,1 fo In a Bekleard City-llr the People of Purl. Live. Pari Cor. (Oct. 18) fall Hall Gazette. We have now been under lock and key for more than a month, and time begius to hang wearily on onr hands. Neither do the Germans attack us, nor do the '-Reds" seem to renew their efforts to upset the Provisional Govern ment and re-establish the bloody commune. Blanqul, Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc, and the other leading Republicans of the more moderate School coutiuue to counsel tranquillity, aud Sapla and Flourens are to be tried for insubordination, for General Troth u is not the man to permit the commander of the 140th Battalion to serve out ball cartridge to bis men and order an attack on the Hotel de Ville, nor to allow Major Jfiourens to march bis troops about Paris with' out orders. Bo that with the firm attitude of the Government, the peaceful attitude of the copulation, and the cunctalor attitude of the enemy, our life U dull and monotonous, espe cially as we are kept In blessed ignorance of all tnat is passing in me great worm beyond the walls of Paris. Now aud then we are re lieved by some firing from the forts and a sortie, which remind us of the presence of King William. Yesterday the Prussiau batteries on the heights of 8t. CLoud bad a duel wit the Mortemart battery and Mont Valerien, which I witnessed from the window of a house a few hundred yards to the rear of the French earth work. The supposition is that we are to be re duced bv hunter, and that wsea the Parisian stomach is empty, then will King William's titles to Alsace, Lorraine, etc, becoase beauti fully clear. However, Minister Maatria tells us mat we hare much more niattoa, beef, aud dry stores than was at first imagined, so the prooess of starving ns out will be long. A hopeful grazier has offered, under heavy penalties, to supply 26,000 oxen in a month's time, which will draw out the game if the grazier sttoeeeds. Hippopbagy is on the Increase. "A first-class horse, formerly the property of Count La' trance." 1b advertised at a restaurant. The walls of Paris are placarded wits, bills staling that 1300 breech-loading fleU -pieces are required to place the Parisians on equal terms with the enemy, and the National Guards are invited to subscribe for them. Every one is full of the coming sortie In force, which is openly discussed. It is expected that 40,000 mobilized National Guards will take part in the fray. General Trocbn Is to command ia person, hav ing Jules Ferry on one side, and Henry Roche fort ob the other, arrayed as colonels of the staff. This reminds ns of the civil commis sioners attached to the various armies during the terror gentlemen who were accompanied by a travelling guillotine. It is a curious fact, for the truth of which I can vouch, that a iarge quantity of Prussian gold and silver is now circulating in Paris. Borne of our journals praise the members of the Government for their repub ican disinterest edness in only taking as a monthly remunera tion lor their services 40. I can state posi tively that these disinterested politicians receive 0 per month. The mortality in Paris has greatly increased this week. The previous eight davs the deaths were 148.'; to-day they are 1810. This increase is due to the prevalence of the small-pox. The deaths by this disease were last week 212; this week they are 311. The hospitals are filled not so much from wounded as from sick soldiers. A K0TELTY OF THE WAR. The Paris P'aeoa Mall. The carrier pigeons are doing good service, writes a Paris correspondent, but although these will fly away from, they have never been taught to fly back to Paris. Besides, the poor birds cannot carry any great weight, so it is proposed that any number of letters should be photo graphed in lnfluiteslmally small characters upon a sheet of the very flnesr tissue paper; that half a dozen copies should be made and entrusted to ns many pigeons, and that after their arrival a microscope thould be used to decipher the cor respondence. Only a few of the birds have as yet accom plished their mission. One of them was picked up at sea in an exhausted state by an English steamer in the British Channel and forwarded to the authorities at Havre, but the rain bad ob literated all the writing on its wings except the date, which was the 4th October, and therefore some seventeen days old. A Brussels paper, speaking of these birds, says that it is not always safe to trust to their aid, and cites the instauce of a contemporary at Antwerp, who, unwilling to pay for a telegraph message sent his reporter to the opening of the Belgian Parliament with orders to despatch two pigeons with a full copy of the Kings speech, lie arrived at Brussels, gave the birds to the porter of the hotel, ordered a frlcasee for breakfast, and went down to the Chambers. His task finished, he returned to his lodgings, made Ms copy, ate and praised his lunch, and then asked for the pigeons to be brought in re ceiving as a reply from tho waiter that "he had just eaten them." If Paris is brought to ex tremities, will there not be considerable danger that these vehicles of correspondence will be used in the kitchen rather than at the post office ? RAILROAD SUBSIDIES. Hew They are Obtained la California. The Sacramento Union says: 'VV. 8. Montgomery gives the copy of an agreement entered into between the managers oi me san Joaquin vauey itaiiroao company ot tho first part aud certain heavy landholders of the second part, by which the company binds itself to build a railway from a point on the western Pacific to Viealia, at the rate of fifty miles a year or more, in consideration that the land monopolists shall deed to the railway mo noply not less than two buudrcd thousand acres of their land, and in lurther consideration that the land monopoly shall use its coin biticd influence to induce the several couuties along the line of f aid road to donate their bonds to the amount ol ten thousand dollars per raiio ol said road lor us whole length; these bonds to bear interest at the rate of eight per cent, per annum, interest and principal to be paid by taxes equally levied on all the property of the counties ho to be bound. It is provided in this agreement that in case a less amount of lands is given and bonds ot the counties secured, through the inUuence of the parties of the second part, it shall be optional with the party of the first part to reject the contract within six months from the 1st of January, 1870. "lne wuoie lengtn ot me road will oe aoout 150 miles. The whole amount of county aid sought would make a principal of $1,500,000. At eight per cent., running for twenty-five years, the interest would amount to $3,000,000; the principal and interest, $1,500,000. The Interest tax would be $10,000 per year, ihus the peo- file of tho counties are asked, not to subscribe n stock, or to loan, taking a lien on the road, but to 'donate' to the railroad company. The 200,000 acres of land, wheu tho road shall htve been completed, will probably be worth $10 per acre, as it will He close to the line. Tuis added to the $1,500,000 of bonds would make a clear gift of $3,500,000, principal. The cost ot building and equipping such a road over the dead level It is to traverse would not exceed $20,000 per mile, or $3,000,000 In all. 8o that the railroad company would build their road exclusively on donations and have a profit of half a million. With this free gift they might accommodate the farmers of the mortgaged couuties by carrying their wheat and stock to market at rates from four to six times as high as are charged the people of Illinois and Michigan by roads built wholly with the private capital of their owners. The worst feature in the agree ment is that which binds the land monopolists to 'use their intluence to have the counties mortgaged to the railway company to the extent of ten thousand dollars per mile. There are many ways In which this sort of thing might be done. It miht be done by purchasing voters, by importing them, by fraudu'ent voting, or by fraud in the returns, as was attempted in San Francisco a few months ago. But auy and every way contemplates an injury to the bulk of the small farmers whose land lie remote from the line of the road, aud whom it is proposed to tax to bund it against their w ill and their in terest." WIFE DESERTION. A Woman with Four Living Husbands. A most remarkable case was developed at the Tombs to-dav. Rachel Rosenthal, an interest' tog-looking young woman, on Saturday arrived In this city from Poland, with her three chil dren, In search ot her husband, Isaac Rosen thal, to whom she alleges she was married io the province of Gabaina, Russian Poland, In 18b0. tier nu8band, she alleges, lett her six years a to, promising to send for her shortly. The promise was not fulfilled, and after months of hard labor she saved enough to pay ber own and children's passage to this country. On her arrival she learned that Rosenthal bad married a woman named Ophelia Jacobs two weeks ago at the synagogue in Pearl street. She applied for a warrant atraiust him, aud be was to-day arraigned at the Tembs before Justice Hogan.

A despatch from Mezleres, dated yester day, says a force of 600 troops made a sortie there on that day and released a body of Franc- tircurs who were surrounded at Perl. One hundred Prussians were placed hors de combat. Another Great Battle. London, Nov. 15 Special to New York Ti te rrain." Despatches from Blois and Tours con firm the face that rumors have been received that a battle has been fought near Arthenay. The extent of the loss to the Prussians is not yet ascertained, but that another French victory has been obtained seem to be without doubt. The conflict originated in an attack on General Von Der Tann along the road leading between Chevilly and Orleans, and the fight has evi dently been a very desperate one. Indications of a hurried and complete retreat of the Germans are reported to be everywhere visible in the neighborhood of Orleans, and sub sequent despatches will no doubt confirm what at present seems to be indistinet rumors, founded on information of stragglers of villages and the army. The French are following np the recent vic tories with chnsiderable fervor and dash, and the latest reports from the interior of Paris, where the news of the victories has been ofli- cially published, have given a "silver lining to the dark cloud of despair that seems to han; over the doomed city."

THE CLEVELAND ROBBERY. 940,000 Worth of Watehes and Other Arti cles' tolea. The Cleveland Herald of the 14th inst has the following particulars of the robbery re ported previously by telegraph: We record this morning the heaviest robbery ever perpetrated in this city. Between the Lours of 1 and 10 o'clock Sunday night, the jewelry store of N. K. Crittenden & Co., on Superior street, was entered by burglars, who succeeded in getting off with watches and arti cles of jewelry to the amount ot f JU.ooo. The facts connected with the robbery, so far as known, are as follows: A younir man named Louis Weber sleeps in the store at night. At half-past 6 o'clock Sun day evening he pasred through the store and tonno everything all right, lie lighted one or two of the gas-burners, which are alwavs kept burning during the night, and then went out for tBe evening, leaving ail the doors and windows secured in the usual manner.

Soon after entering he glanced behind one of the counters and saw a arre number of empty watch and icwelrv eases Ijing upon the floor. Fairly terrified at the tight, he sprang to the front door and blew a whistle. Patrolmen Stein and Wagner answered toe signal ana were soon at the spot, inquiring the cause of the alarm, Weber told them, so trembling aBd excited that he could scarcely speak, that the store bad been robbed. When Weber first entered, upon his return. the gas was turned down much lower than he had left it, so that but a very faint light was given, showiner at once that somebody had called after he left. The gas was turned on and the extent of the robbery was apparent at a glance, one ot the larce show cases aud part of another were entirely empty, and upon the floor, in promiscuous confusion, were a bushel or so of morocco, ivory and satin watch and eweiry cases, which had been despoiled of their contents. Over fifty ladles' gold and silver watches, a quantity of bracelets and jewelry sets, and about one hnndred and thirty set and seal ring, were tne principal articles tasen. An examination of the premises showed that the bold cracksmen had effected an entrance into the store by a rear window. They first forced off a shutter and entered the watch maker's shop, but a door leading from this into the store was securely fastened and they were unable to prosecute t their explorations In that direction without making so much noise as to be in danger ol discovery. lhey then returned to the outside and tried. successfully, a window leading directly into the store. Once inside, with the gas turned down, they were comparatively safe from detection. Creeping alone behind the counters they had only to open the doors of the show cases and sweep the plunder into their satcnels. ihev bad just commeuced upon one case, after hav ing effectually cleaned out one, filled with valu able articles, when it is evident they were alarmed by something ana ilea, ma&ing good their escape and leaving scarcely a trace be hind. An iron bar, or "ilmmy," was picked uo just ontslde the window. All the diamonds and many of the most costly watches were In the vault. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. Three Persons Drowned In the Yoaslilosheny itiver. A distressing accident, says the Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday, resulting in the drowning of a young lady and two men, oc curred near Osceola, on the Yonhlogheny river, about 9 o'clock Saturday evening. It appears that five persons, Michael JMcBrlde, ltd ward rryor, a Air Campbell, Miss uampbcii, bis sis ter, and another man, name unknown, got into skirt to cross the river, and when about the middle of fho stream the boat commenced leak ing, and before assistance could reach the I 'arty, it tank, and all were left in the river. Ir. and Miss Campbell and VI r. Pryor wera drowned. The other two when they found the boat was sinking jumped into the river and swam towards the 6hore, and by the assistance of parties who were drawn to the bank by their cries were saved, it appears that the Oampbells were on their way to Osceola to do some busi ness, ana the other parties wisning to cross the river got Into tho skiff with them. Search was made for the bodies, but np to half past 1 o'clock yesterday only one body, that of Pryor, bad been found. Deceased was about thirty years of age and a Scotchman. He has no rela tives In this country. The young lady was about eighteen years of age and her brother fibout twenty. Their parents reside near Green It will be remembered that several months ago a sad drowning accident, by which three persons lost their lives, occurred about one mile above the scene of this distressing occur rence. There seems to be a sort of fatality at tached to this portion of the Youghlogheny river. F1HAC1CI2 AIta OML31KatJC. avatrma Timujuaph OrvtatA Tuesday, Nov. 16, 1870.

The loans have also been contracted 41,509, which, contrasted with the loss in deposits, shows a liberal action on the part of the banks. The heavy falling off in the busi ness of the week, in the face of an active specu lative market, reflects the dull condition of gen eral trade. The money market to-day Is comparatively quiet and settled and rates are without material change. Go!d Is moderately active and weak, with tales opening at 111 and closing at 111, un steady and weak. Government bonds are firm all through the list and with, the exceptions of the lssuei of 1881, 1802, and 1804, prices this morning are higher. Stocks am stronger, but less active.

From the N. T. Herald. "Tli. gold market wa. feverish .ad excited, th. price fluctuating between the ei Irvine of 111", and 112',, the lowttt quotation beiuir mart, at ttie uluse tnis eveninfr. 'I tie clique, in 'nulkint' tho markitt hnvo baen luckily a.ftirted by th. B.w from Kampa. Th. tear of a war be leea England and Kissi demoralized fia tmadoa market this moininc, and oounnl.aud h -iu. ware weak aad pauicky, the latter falling to 7 The gold market at the corresponding period run. to 11.! i. I'he cliques here began to uniuail again, and tneir operation, now contemplate a plunge to lH'f lN. If hoy auee.ed we fthall doubtless see another reversal of tbo movement and an advance of two or three percent. Oold Is now o near par that speculation in it to be remunerative must be conducted entirely on tho 'railktnK' process. The cliques know that the greater toe complications in Kn rope tbe better for this country and the more capital we shall obtain from abroap. It is fully ' say tint war in Rnropewill do our business harm. As our imports are always larger than our oxpnrrs a co:nplte interruption of our trade with Kurope wonlii bo to our bunefll. A t'binese wall around the United Sl,it would make ns ricber than we are. Our vast and grand country is self.support'ng. Were It not, for the luxury of onr wealthy classes, who import silks and all kinds of costly dry goods, wins, and brandies, we should be constantly a creditor with Kurope. The s.xiner all Ruropo is overrun with devastating armies destroying the sources of then, luxuries the sooner shall w. caucnl the lialnnca nf trade against us. Vith all Europe at war we shall beoome the na ion of shopkeepers,' t. sell ili-varm and breadstufls to th. belligerents. Were all Kurope at war .very foundry in this country would be working night and day. Tbe railroads of the West would be nnabln to draw th. Iioik and produce required fo exeort from New York. In HA 66 tbe pork packer of New York could not procure bogs enough from the farms of t-e West to ship to tbe Crimea. In this emergency thoy relied on the wild hog -n nnpslatabie and unmarketable ar iole whioh was slain in thousands by hunters. I'he carets., when packed and salted, was not to he told from th. regular article. Tbe gold cliques blind the reason of the xpeculators la the Uold Room, and frighten them into a onurse the reverse of what is logical. Hence, when they got ibeir victims up to the pitsh of buying to-day, they be an to unload, and geld fell from 112 r to 111 .. "The sudden decline in five twenties at Iondon pro duced a fall of about a haf per cent, iu domestie quota tions, the market at times being weak even at the lowest figure. The advance ia gold at length counteracted tbi. weakness, and price, gradually improved. When finally the whole lxocfon market was anaonnde.i strong again, the '63' rising from 87 'a to 8S, govnrnmnnts closed ttrin. nut steady, tutor upward tennency Doing now checksu by the deoliue in gold. Th. result of tho two different influ ence of the London qunUtien nn l the prioe of gold ia very puzzling, and requires th. banker to keen psnoilling away constantly in order to discover th. prioe at equili brium."
