Napoleon at His Prison. THE FALL OF TOUL. The Cournareona Harrison Hnrrnoiba at Last The Town nnd Its History. A telegram from Berlin announces that the of the capture of Toul was made public In that city last evening, and this morning the report Is fully confirmed by another despatch which states that the surrender took place at sunset yesterday. Several days ago the sur render of Toul was announced with a great flourish by the papers not connected with the Associated Press; but, tike all their "great beats," the news proved to be bogus. On Friday, August 12, Marshal MacMahon abandoned Nancy, which was Immediately taken possession of by the Prussians. The French retreated to Toul, which Is 12 miles west of Nancy, and it was expected that they would make a stand there, as the fortress would afford a rallying point for MacMahon's demoralized army. But this demoralization had become too great, and MacMahon, leaving in Toul as large a force as it would conveniently shelter, con tinued his retreat toward Chalons. A portion of the Crown Prince's army was detached to besiege the place, but this was soon withdrawn, and the task allotted to the Landwehr and a powerful Giege train. The garrison made a vigorous re sistance and frequently indulged in a sortie, but, although they held the Prussians at bay and frequently inflicted serious loss upon them in repelling their assaults, they did not succeed in dislodging the enemy, and the fall of the fortress was merely a question of time. Toul, whose heroic and protracted resistance to the enemy presents a fitting parallel to the grand defense of Strasburg, is one of the oldest cities of Europe, and is mentioned by Julius Ctrsar under the name of Tullum. It sustained, from the earliest ages, a military reputation, and was attacked by all invaders. Goths, Burgandlans, Franks, and Huns ravaged and devastated it In turn. After the bar barians came the feudal lords of the middle ages, with whom there was constant war, and lastly the bishops and the burgesses (Barrelled for two hundred years until the seventeenth century, when it was transferred from the Count of Champagne to the French crown. During all this period It was consi dered a military post of great value, and It was finally fortified by Vauban. But the more for midable defenses of Metz, which Is thirty miles distant, in an . N. E. direction, have latterly dwarfed Its fortifications and impaired its im portance as a strategic point. The city is situated on the left bank of the Moselle. 12 miles west of Nancy, on the line of the railroad from Paris to Strasburg. At the outbreak of the war it had a population of about 5)000 souls, and manufactures of lace, calico, and hardware of some importance. There is a chalybeate sprinc in the neighborhood. In ad dition to an arsenal and cavalry and infantry barracks, Toul possesses a Gothic Cathedral of the fitteentn century, wun two towers, a mag nificent grand entrance and a beautiful oriel window. This cathedral is regarded as one of the architectural wonders of i ranee. LIBERATED FRANCE. Victor lingo on the Great Chance.

PRINCENAPOLEON. "BattlDfi" In the Dynasty. A correspondent of the Liverpool Pout writes to that journal In the following terms : The only members of the Bonaparte family who have shown the slightest dignity In their fall are the Emperor, Empress, and Princess Olothllde. Prince Kapoieon may De a very ciever scnoiar uu juuge 01 art, but his chief talents seem to lie in the direction of taking care of number one.

His wife, when all was lOBt to the Bonapartes, quietly left Paris for Switzerland. She was the only mem ber of the Imperial dynasty for whom the populace of Paris had the slightest regard, though the courage and Belf-resnect maintained by the Empress, up to the very moment when she set out for Belgium iu solitary dignity, excited the mingled pity and admi ration of even her political enemies. As for the Coralcan bravo Prince Bonaparte the hero of the analrat Auteull, be quickly scented danger from afar. and. after organizing a corps 01 ujrai can brigands to raise auother Jacquerie in France, he went off to Belgium, where he must have added to the bitter humiliation of the fallen Knmeror bv snivelling overlh'm at a raUway station, The Princess Mathtlde, on whom her good-natured cousin had Bhowered wealth and honors, also In the hour of danger forgot every feeling of relationship and gratitudes and, Instead of aiding and assisting the overtaxed and wearied Empress, she "bolted on with nearly one hundred trunks of money and valua bles to Dieppe, where she was arrested.

SECOND EDITION The Capture of Toul. Progress of the Invasion French Towns Destroyed Circular from Count Bismarck Wimpffen and tho Emperor. TpdI Cnptnred by the Prnealana. Berlin, Sept. 24 The French fortification of Toul, a few miles west of Nancy, was cap tured by the Prussians at sunset yesterday (Friday). The story of its surrender uncon ditionally on Wednesday last, which was re turned to ns from New York, was utterly with out foundation. - The Orlen.na Scare. Tours, Sept. 23 Midnight. No news has been received from Paris to-day. It appears that the scare at Orleans was totally unfounded. No Prussians have been there, as reported, though a small body of Uhlans had pressed for ward ns far as Plthlviers, twenty-three miles northeast of Orleans, On their approach, to P-ithivlers hundreds of people betook themselves to flight, believing that a large Prussian force was marching np. The town being thus left defenseless, a few Uhlans were enabled to make large requisitions without molestation. Another result of the scare was tho needless cutting and destroying of the railway to protect Orleans, which, as it now appears, was not menaced at all. One regiment of Turcos is in Orleans. The "Red" Flair at f.yons. Three delegates from Lyons have arrived hero to confer with the ministerial committee, and it is hoped that the troubles there will be settled immediately. The red flag is still flying at Lyons, and will remain until after the elections for the Constituent Assembly on the 2d of October. Blamarrk Drawlnc It Mild. It is reported that Bismarck has issued another circular to the North German represen tatives in foreign countries concerning the war and the prospects of peace, which is conceived in much milder tones than have characterized his documents lately. Destruction of French Villages. Rotten, Sept. 22 Evening. Two small vil lages between Mezicres and Epinal have been burned by the Prussians. The inhabitants attempted to extinguish the flames, but the Prussians opened fire on them with artillery, compelling tnem to desist, ine villages were entirely destroyed. The Prnsslans have bombarded Mantes-la-Ville. . Wimpffen on the Sedan Surrender. General de Wimpffen, in a recent letter, says that the Emperor surrendered In a very cowardly manner at Sedan. He (Wimpffen) proposed a movement wmcn wouia nave redeemed every thing, but it was overruled at once. Important Circular from Demands Only What la Future Defense. Blnmarck Prussia Neceeaary Tor her London, Sept. 83. The special correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune at Berlin telegraphs this day the following letter from Bismarck concerning the means aud conditions of peace addressed to the Korth-Oerman representatives abroad: Mkacx, Sept. 16. Your Excellency is familiar with the circular which M. Jules Favre has ad dressed to the foreign representatives of France in the name of the men at present holding power In arls. and whocall themselves "L Gouvernement de la Defense XationaXe." I have learned simultaneously that M. Thiers has entered upon a confidential mis sion to the foreign courts, and I may presume that lie will endeavor on the one side to create a belief in the love for peace of the present I'arlslan Govern ment, and on the other side will request the Inter vention of the neutral powers in favor of a peace winch snaa deprive uermanyor tne rruitsor ner victories, and for the purpose of preventing every basis of peace which would make the next attack of t rance on uermanv more aimcuic we cannot Deueve in tne sincerity or tne aesire oi the present Parisian Oovernment to make peace so long as It continues by its language and acts at home jo excite the passions of the people and to Increase the hatred and bitterness of a population stung by the sufferings of war, and to repudiate in advance every basis acceptable to Germany as unacceptable by France, uj sucn a course it Decomes impossible to make peace. The people should be prepared for peace by calm woros ana in terms corresponding to tne eravuv oi toe situation, ii we are to Deueve mat negotiations witn us ior peace are honestly intended, the demand that we snouio conclude an armistice wunout any jruarau tees for our conditions of peace could be meant sprionilv onlv on the suoDOBttlon that we lack mill tary or political Judgment, or are indifferent to the interests or uermanv. luoreover. me nope enter tained by the present rulers In Paris of a diplomatic or material intervention or the neutral powers in favor or France prevents tne rrenon nation from seeing the necessity of peace. When the French nation become convinced that as they have wantonly conjured up the war alone, and Germany has liau to ncnt it out aione, tney must aiso seuie their account with Germany alone, they will soon put an end to their resistance, now surely un avallluc. it would be an act or cruelty to tne rrencn peopie bv the neutral nowers to permit tne rartsiau iov eminent to nourish among the people hopes of Intervention that cannot be realized, and thereby lentrtnen tne contest. we are rur from any inclination to mix in tne in ternol affairs of France. It is immaterial to us what kind of a government the French people shall formally establish for themselves. The government of the Emperor Napoleon has nunerto been tne oniy one recognized by us. Our conditions of peace, with whatever government, legislating for the purpose we mav have to negotiate with, are wnouv inaepen aent oi tue Question now or oy wnoiu iuo r reucu nation Is governed. They are prescribed to us by the nature of things, and by the law of self-defense asninst a violent and nostue neisnoor, The unanimous voice of the Germanlo govern ments and the German people demands tuat uer manv shall be protected bv better boundaries than we have hitherto had against the dangers and vio lence we have experienced from all French govern ments for centuries. Ho long as France remains In possession of Strasburg and Metz, so long Is its offensive strategically stronger than our defensive so far as all South Uermanv and North Germany on the left bank of the lthine are concerned. Stras- burc in the possession of France is a crate wide open for attack on South Germany. In the hands of Ger many, Strasburg and Metz obtain a defensive char acter. In more than twenty wars we have never been the aggressors on France ; and we demand of the latter nothing else than our safety In our own land, so often threatened by It, France, on the other hand, will regard any peace that may be made now as an armistice only, and, In order to avenge the present defeat, will attack as lu the same quarrelsome and wanton manner as this year, as soon as it feels strong enough in its own resoarces or in foreign alliances. In rendering it difficult for France, from whose initiative alone hitherto the disturbances of Europe have resulted, to resume the offensive, we at the earn, time act In the Interest of EuroDe, which la that of peace. From Germany no disturbance of the European peace la to be feared. Although France bad been trying to force the war UDon us for four years, we. bv our care and by restraining the feelings of our national self-respect so incessantly outraged bv France, bad prevented Its occurrence. We mean now for our future safety to demand the price of our mighty efforts. We shall demand ouly that which we must have for our defense. Nobody wu. be able to accuse us of want of moderation if we Insist upon this just ana cquuaoie aeuiauu. Your Excellency will make these views your own. ana advocate mem in discussions. BISMARCK.

Interview Between King; William and Nnpo- iron. London, Sept. 24. Tho Times this morning in the war correspondence has the following details of fits meetlDg of King William of Prus sia! and the Emperor Napoleon at Bellevuo. The meeting between the two monarchs was very cordial apparently. After shaking hands they entered into conversation, and the officers who were in the conservatory then came out, leaving the two alone. A dialogue then took place, of which the following is the substance: King William God has given our arms the victory in the war you have precipitated. Emperor Napoleon The war was not sought by me, but was imposed upon me by public opinion. The King (assenting emphatically) Tour ministers created that opinion. Your army, however, certainly fought bravely. The Emperor But the Prussians had the dis cipline that mine has recently lacked. The King Before and since 1806 we studied carefully the experience and inventions of other nations. The Emperor Your artillery won everything. It is the finest in the world. The King In the matter of artillery particu larly we have utilized the experience of other nations. The Emperor Prince Frederick Charles de cided the event of the last battle, his army car rying our last position.. The King You err. It was my son who fought at Sedan. The Emperor Where, then, was Prince Frederick Charles. The King His army corps is before Metz. The Emperor's self-possession apparently de serted him, momentarily, on receiving this in telligence. The KlBg continued Have you anything to propose ? The Emperor JNOtning wnaiever. i am a prisoner. The King with whom, then, have I to treat? The Emperor With the Empress, with the Government at Paris. I am powerless. I can make no terms, give no orders. The King Will Wilhelmshohe suit you as a residence ? The Emperor Yes. The conversation continued for a short time, the King expressing condolence for the Empe ror's misfortunes. He at length withdrew with every mark of respect.

A SWINDLE A New Phase of tho "Boodle" Game. Philadelphia has been flooded for years past with circulars from Irresponsible parties In New iork, holding out such splendid Inducements that some of our unsuspecting cltlzenB have ventured and, as a' consequence, been sold. The latest dodge of this kind came to the knowledge of the Mayor this morn ing, when a cl Mzen banded him a printed letter and circular wnlcn he nad received yesieruay oy maiu The letter was as follows : My Dear Sir : You ha beon recommended to meaa the right ma to introduce the good ouuel on tlieo- ooniimnyinc uiel. ... . .

It Is hardly necessary to remind our residents of the result of the recent trials in the United States Court, In which a number of people were con victed of being concerned in this, otherwise known as the "Boodle" game. FIFTH EDITION THE LATEST NEWS. New Peace Negotiations Prussia Hakes Hard' Terras. TlieBattlesAroundParis They are Claimed as FrenchVictories Etc., EtC, Etc. EtC.( Ctc; FROM EUROPE. The New Peaee Necotlatlona. Tours, Sept. 24 Rumors of new develop ments in the negotiations for peace have been confirmed. The Ministry to-day makes public the following information on the subject: Bismarck demands as preliminaries and con ditions of peace that all fortresses in the pro vinces of Alsace and Lorraine be delivered over to Prussia, as well as Fort Mont Valerien, at the walls of Paris. The Provisional Government considers these conditions absolutely inadmissible, and will immediately address a proclamation to the peo ple of the nation as well as to the ambassadors from foreign countries, exposing the situation, and indicating the new measures to be taken for national defense in view of the harsh terms proposed. One of these measures will be tho indefinite postponement of the election of mem bers of the Constituent Assembly. The Engacemente Near Parle.

Demande of the Prussians. Yesterday fourteen Uhlans entered Etampes and demanded money and arms. The Mayor of the town refused unless a force large enough to overpower him came to enforce the demand. The Prussians ' then left and have not appeared there since. The Prussians are said to be in force at Pithiviers. The American Government Blamed. The Government authorities here blame the American Government, and particularly the local officials at New York, for stopping the French volunteers who wished to sail in the steamer Lafayette, on the ground that the neu trality laws were being violated. They say that , from all parts of the United Stales the Prus sians have been allowed to return to Germany to enlist in the German armies without let or hindrance, and are surprised at this discrimina tion against France.
