The Pall tfall Gazette of September 12 prints the following letter from St. Petersburg, dated Septem ber 1 : "The press here has become somewhat lukewarm of late in its advocacy of France, and in this it faith fully reflects the feeling in oilicial circles, though in general society the French cause inspires as much sympathy as ever. The Government organs no longer speak of the possibility of Russia becoming actively involved in the war; ter interference, they say, should be limited to the exercise of her moral inilucnce on the belligerents. The cause of this change of tone is, I have reason to believe, that the Russian army is totally unprepared for a war with Euch a formidable power as Germany has now proved herself to be. 'There are not more than 40,000 or 50,000 breech loaders available for the troops; tho artillery is far from being complete, and the intend 'anas is in a state of total disorganization. The Intervention of Kussia will therefore, for the present at least, bo only a diplomatic one. Tho press of St. Petersburg and Moscow strongly condemn the plan of aunexiug Alsace and Lorraine to Ciennanv. on the ground that to annex a country against the will of its in habitants Is an act of barbarism unworthy of a great and enlightened nation, mis argument noes not come wiili a very good grace from the rulers ol Poland; and, Indeed, it is merely a cover for the Prussophobia which now pervades all political cir cles nere. "What the Russians fear is not so much the loss of the 13altic provinces which It would be very dif ficult for Prussia to conquer, and still more to hold, on account of their geographical position as the advance of Germany to the Vistula. The liusso Prussian frontier Is at present completely open, and now that Germany is no longer Russia's vassal, but her rival, the great military strategists at Berlin win, it Is thought, not fail to see the necessity of some strong natural boundary to protect the Germans acainst a sudden attack from their Jealous neighbor. "The dread ol war arising from this Question 1 very general here, and the Russian dinlomatlsts are therefore doing their utmost to stop the present Struggle oeiore r ranee is utceny etnaustea, so tn at some future time they may be able to claim her assistance against tno common enemy. A rao- prociiemeM witn trance would lurtner nave the advantage of leaving Kussia free to pursue her dcBlgns in the Cast, and also of removing a fruitful source of disturbance among her Polish subjects by depriving uiem oi uie nope oi rrencn support. These ideas have produced a reluctance In the Rus sian statesmen to enter Into a common action with F.ugland In the present struggle, it Is supposed that .ngiana wouiu ouieci 10 ine revocation or tne treat? of Paris, and throw other obstacles In tho wav of Russia's designs In the East, wlilie France, in her present helpless state, would consent to everything li iiussia wouiu oiuy prevent ner oismemoerment. Since tne surrender of Napoleon, however, the success of Germany has produced Its natural effect on Russia, and tne old antagonism of "Cossack or Republican" comes into new prominence. The oili cial Journal or t. Petersburg, as the cable renorts. now urges that the terms demanded by Germany ought to be accepted at once by France. There is even lees prospect than ever of an attempt at armed mierveuuon on me pan oi ituasia. THE IMPERIAL EXILES. How the Empress nnd Prince Imperial Passed meir mime at iiumiiuks. Hastings Sept. 12) Correspondenre London Telegraph. The Empress and the Prince Imperial are stil here, and as yet there is no sign that the time of their departure elsewhere is approaching. It was even reported that, with a view to a prolonged stay, they were about to exchange their apartments in the Marine Hotel for a house in one of the squares nere; nut hub report nan, i am lmormeu, no rounua' tion. Te-dav twenty-one horses and a larira nnan. tityof baggage belonging to the Prince Imperial were brought here from London. This, I should say, rather favors the supposition that the royal exiles Intend to remain here for some time. There is at present a regular French occupation of the Marine Hotel. The imperial party fill the greater part of the house ; in the entrance hall a crowd of French valets keep up the hubbub of conversation witn tne narmonious volubility anj graceful gesticu lation of their nation ; and occasionally there emerge iroiu some oi me rooms miiitary-iooKing gentlemen, with the thin sombre faces and the somewhat faded appearance which we have been so long accustomed to associate wren tne opponents, not tne adherents, of the Imperial cause. It The Prince goes out frequently, but the Empress appeared out oi aoors yesteruay lor tne iirst time. In the morning she and her son walked together to the Roman Catholiecliapel of All Souls, and attended the 8 o'clock mass. She went out. I believe, in the evening for a short time. It la said by those who have seen her that tho Empress, considering the scenes of anxiety and danger through which site has passed, looks remarkably well. Have that her face is rather pale, she bears scarcely any marks of her sufferings. Bhe has not yet, of course, completely recovcreu iroiu me latigues or ner long tourney. nor is her abstinence iroiu going out purely a matter of choice, for she has caught a slight cold. Our reader?, however, need feel no alarm, for the local doctor wno was canea in to see her has, I believe. pronounced his Illustrious patient to be In very fair health. The Prince appears fond of exercise, and, In company with some of his attendants, lakes long walks In the neighborhood of the town. As 1 was standing near the hotel door to-day I suddenly saw the crowd, which is from morning till nigut couecteu nciore me widows oi tne royai apart ments, begin to move and to sho some excitement. A man b?slde me exclaimed, "There be is," and, louowing nis nana, i saw tne DacK oi a ratner low sized, slight boy, a little stooped in the shoulders. I sauntered along In the direction In which I saw the reople running, being by this time aware that the iluce Imperial was the object of their chase. A narrow stone staircase brought me up to the West HID, and here, at a short distance from me, I saw the prince stopping for a moment, evidently to enjoy the out-look on the sea below. As far as I could Judge at a distance bis face was not pale, but ruddy, and when he began to walk hi step ap- pcareu quicK ana elastic, two ladies followed htm. and a gentleman walked by his side. To this gentleman he appeared to me to be speaking with that eager yet respectful lnqulsltiveness which we nnd so charming in a lad. Audlndnss as well as demeanor be resembled a young schoolboy. He woie a short tweed jacket, tweed trousers, and a small black bat. Whilst I was still looking at the Prince I was astonished to see ljlm approached by a gentleman who bore the most unmistakable marks of being a Briton, and a Briton of by no means the highest rank. Without the smallest hesitation be rushed op to the youug exile, twice shook him by he band with the air of a compassionate patron, and hen walked on" with a swagger, as if be had done. not a disgraceful, but a very laudable action. This discourtesy on bis part was met by tne greatest Doliteness on mat or tne prince: but it was no wonder that the lad, who but a few days ago left the coart in which he was reared, should look with rather a. nuzzled air after the retreating form of his eii'tfellO lfcUbU. It la to U hoped lilat fceituer of the lilusinous exiles who have fled for refuge to our horn wJJi be aain troubled wilh the vn'g.r familiarity and Insulting sympathy of mch persons as the gentleman of whom 1 1 ave just spoken. All those who have come in i on t ict with the Prince or bis mother speak of them With the greatest warmth. They show, In the trying circumstances in which they are placed, dignified sdf-ionttol. The Prince speaks Knglish perfectly, is affable to all, and Is very thankful for any atten tions paid ts him. The Mayor of Hastings, the Deputy Mayor, the Roman catholic clergymen of the neighborhood, and a few others, are the only ptrsons who have railed to see the imperial party. It la expected that Prince Napoleon, who Is believed to be at present in London, and M. do Lavalette, will pay a visit to the Marine Hotel to-morrow. M. de LeHBcps, who accompanied the Empress from Paris, has returned to France. The Empress is in constant communication, by telegraph, with Cassel. Further than tnat the Kinperor is in good health, I have been unable to learn the eirect of these com munications. 4 THE FREXCII REVOLUTION. Opinion of the London Press Upon the Crisis. from the London Timet. The volcano has burst. The surrender of tho Emperor and the capitulation of MacMahon's army could not stand alone. (Such tidings would make the eanh-open, and the earth has opened In Paris. A revolution has begun. The Emperor might wel seek to dissever his fate from the fate of the Empire and to make his surrender a personal act that should not affect his dynasty, whatever influence It might have on his own prospects; but It was appa rent as soon as the intelligence of his captivity was pubiisned mat tne empire was at an end. All the dearest feelings of a Frenchman's heart were wounded by the catastrophe of Sedan. The head of the State a prisoner, 60,000 French Boldlers capitulating, and all without a note of warning that could have led the ration io anticipate sacn trementous disasters, it may, indeed, seem strange that Saturday passed over In raris without an insurrection against the dynasty and the rcnime; but the Ministers, partly perhaps from prudence, and partly perhaps beciuse they still clung to the hope that all might not be lost. told only lair tne trutn on isaturaay, ana reserved their full confession till yesterday morning. Even then some hours passed before Paris, stunned and bewildered, mastered tne wnoie trutn. Apart from the war. though the termina tion of the war is Its greatest work, the provisional government constituted yesterday in Pans enters upon its labors under dlillculties that ought to miti gate criticism. If the German forces retired from trance to day, they wonid leave far-spreading misery behind them. The country is devastated up to tne wans oi pans, and tne w est and soutn nave sent their stores to feed the capital. Unnumbered households mourn sons and husbands lost forever. Industry has been paralyzed. Civil order has become chaos. A provisional gov ernment nominated no one well knows how and unaccustomed to act together might well quail at the prospect before them if their patriotism allowed them to shrink from it. Among the names that have been mentioned are, however, many wnicn nave substantial claims to be trussed in remect of their past services. General Trochu and Count de Keratry, MW. Jules Simon, C'remieux, Grevy, Jules Ferry, and Peiletan are honored names, and the eloquence of MM. Favre and Gambetta is known beyond the limits of France. We do not doubt that the nation will readily accept such committee of safety as Paris Is about to propose, and all who h.ive any sympathy with a gallant and suffering people must hope and even pray that the path of the new govern ment mil' be made easy for them. From the London Post. This Is the most deplorable admission of weakness that France can make. MM. Gambetta, Peiletan, Favre, Ferry, C'remieux, Picard, and the rest can hardly constitute a serious government; one that will win the support of friendly states or Inspire ttie foe with respect for the attitude of France. A republic In France means a threatened revolution in Spain and Italy; means the alienation of possible allies, tne distrust or reasonable ana weu-governed Slates. Nothing could bo more dangerous in this supreme hour than confiding to ardent, inexperi enced, and desperate theorists the serious interests of a great country. The rural population, if we may judge by all recent accounts, is far from sharing the opinions of tne Parisian mob. It may thus occur that civil war may be added to the horrors of foreign invasion, w natever happens, tne double question 1b now proposed to us How to save France from the conqueror atid how to save her from herself. Fiom the London Standard. Of course if France, burning to wipe out the hu miliating page in her military history of the last six weeks, cries war to tne knue, Germany ha no choice but to prolong the struggle until she aban dons tne contest iroin sneer inability to continue it, or France admits herself vanquished. In tho name of humanity we cannot bring ourselves to content plate tne possibility or so ternme a calamity, n terms of peace are offered to France not iucom patible with her national honor it Is the duty of neutral powers to recommend ner acceptance or them. If, on the other hand, Prussia makes de mands not only wantonly humiliating to France, but dangerous to the interests of Europe, it may then be Incumbent on neutrals, even at the cost of armed Intervention, to step in between the victor and his prey. .No reason able being can object to Prussia gathering in the lirst fruits of the bloody harvest she has reaped The question is, of what should these fruits consist. The neutral powers, on tne invitation of Great Bri tain, have already settled the terms upon which they are conjointly prepared to offer their services as mediator, supposing the time for mediation to have arrived. It would say little for the collective diplomatic wisdom of Europe if it is unequal to the task of devising some terms of accommodation which would satisfy, we do not say the Prussian Government, but tne majority or tne German people, whose wisnes must weign greatly in tne scale, witn out wounding too severely the feelings of the French nation. . WI1Y DE WIXPFFEX SURRENDERED. nil Plan to Escape Countermanded by the Em peror. From Galignani's Hfcssenger. An officer who had not quitted General de Wirapf. fen all the morning of the 1st writes as follows to the Vebats: On that morning the Prussians, having terminated their movement, attacked us on our right, in order to drive us on the frean troops, who awaited our descent from the plateau, before deploying all their forces, f or a moment uenerai ue wimpiten was ueiuued, ana ueneveu in a victory, not as yet Know, lng that he had before him more than 150.000 ene rule's. In the evening he resolved to open a passage ior nis troops to tne ueigian territory, or to marcn upon tarignan. He would doubtless nave sue ceedea. as tne enemy, nan disorganized by the contest, had remained in position on the field of battle: out tne emperor, wno stui new ae racto the chief command, prevented him, and paralyzed his best euorts by calling np tne Prussians with a white nag, and by addressing a letter to the King, General de Wlmnrten. after a warm a'.tercatlon witn the Emperor and his suite on the subject, returned to his quarters and gavu in his resignation. Napo leon refused to accept it, and wrote to him the fol lowing note: General: You cannot renien at the moment when the army may be still saved by an honorable uauituUtion. You have dune your dm y all dny ; do it still. You will render great service lo tne country, ine King nas accepted the armistice, anil i am waiting ior nit propositions, at- liev in my friendship. .Napoleon. The General, being then pcrs.iaded that only one course was open ; that in retiring alone, as he could still do, he might avoid personal captivity, but would abandon the gallant soldiers who had braved death under his orders during the whole day; seeing also that In so acting he would ill perform the functions of uenerai-in-ciuei piacea in nis nanus oy tne for tune of war, decided to remain at the head of the army, to share the lot of all, and to set his name to the capitulation that terrible a"t which closes by an immense disaster, oy an unioreseen catastrophe, one or tne most oriiuant oi military careers. General Pelle also refused to adhere to the capitulation. A letter addressed by him to his wife tavs: I am prisoner of war with the whole army.

Very painful scenes are still witnessed upon the Sedan battle-held. The wife of a French general wandered for days over it, seeking for her husband. from whom she had had no word of any kind for three weeks. She had also a son engaged la the liEhtliiR of last week, but she was Informed that he was killed by a shell.

I hey are, however, eager in collecting souve- ej-s cf the great strode, some taking 0re, others a helmet, a lance, or a haversack; Indeed, there was a large company irom Brassels, eah pr vided with a relic of this kind, one leading a horse hlch a French officer had presented to him. As to the peasantry, they dare no: touch any of these spoils, as they are afraid to become objects of the terrible discipline of the Prussians. Those of them who had been taken with arms in their liands, when the Prussians captured villages alter a dusperate resistance, were either shot or hung the following day. At ona place no less than 800 were suspended by the neck from trees. Several citizens of Sedan have been more or less injured during the action, and If the bombard ment had taken place very few of them would have escaped. As soon as the capitulation was decided upon, tne military cnesis oi tne dinerent corps d'armee were divided: Several generals and supe rior officers retired with large sums, one colonel having got no less than 30,ooo francs in gold. Just before the entrance of the lYussians all tho notes of the branch of the Bank of France were by authority ordered to be burned. 7 he Germans, however, made some good prizes, as, for Instance, on the eve of the surrender a convoy of 80,ih)0 rations intended for the French army fell into their hands. Notwithstanding the continual removal of wounded, there were two days ago 300 at Sedan without the slightest help of any kind. FRERE HYACINTIIE. Ills ltter to minister Wnshbnrne. The text of the letter from Frere (late Pere) Tlva- clnthe to Minister Washburne. referring to his com munication recognizing the French Republic, is as follows: Sir: Detained in the country for more than a month by the state of my health, which has suffered so mony and so cruel ordeals, I much regret that i Is not in my power to grasp the hand that has Just written a letter so noble and sympathetic toward my country. That letter is a page in tne nistory or liberty in tne two worlds. It revives the recollectiots of Wash ington and Lafayette, and proves that if despotism had succeeded In dividing two governments, liberty had not delayed an instant to unite two peoples.

Democrat of the 21st inst. says: Annmoeroi men oi low ana lawless cnaractcr, residing In Limestone or Lauderdale, near the line between the two counties, have been organized for months past to intimidate good citizens and com mit depredations on their property, and, in several Instances, they have assaulted both white and colored citizens at d tnrvateued otners. we learn that, about ten days ago, the community in the neigh borhood of the old Lucky Hit Post Office, in Lime stone, was startled by the discovery or numerous Placards posted m different public places. signed "Men of Justice,'' warning a dozen or so re spectable citizens by name to leave the county on pain and penalty of death or severe punishment. Afterwards thete desperadoes went In disguise to certain "spotted'' houses, showing that the threat lu their placard was designed to furnish them a pre text for murdering residents inthose houses. Among other houses they visited was that of Dr. John S. Blair, one or tne oldest and most respectable citizens of Limestone, and they compelled his son, Mr. Ruitla C. Blair, a quiet, inoffensive man. to treat them to wine. On Monday, September 12, a number of citizens went to Athens to procure warrants for the arrest of the members of this lawless band, and to get the sheriff with a posse to execute them. Warrants were procured, and it was agreed that Sheriff Lentz snouui meet tne citizens at oak corner scnooi honse, a mile from Dr. Blair's, on Tuesday night. and organize a posse to scour the country in pursuit of the lawless band. A few citizens reached there before dark. Ruinn and William Blair started thither from their father s, and when within a few hundred yards of the school-house were halted by disguised men in tne ousneson tne siiieof the road, The disguised men tnen cocked their lire-arm. the two Blairs heard the click, and turned their horses to nee. Rurnn was shot from his horse and killed. William, who wa9 an experienced cavalry man, threw himself on the off side of his horse and heard the balls whistle over him, as he escaped to his father s house. James Biair. another brother, and other citizens (among them Sheriff Lentz), who had arrived at tho Bchool.house. heard the firing in the direction Ruffln and William were expected to come, and supposed that the disguised band had tired on them. but were too few to go to their relief, as the dis guised men were said to number forty. They waited until a few otners arrived, and the suspense became so great that they resolved to go to the scene of the tiring. They went afoot, and stumbled over a dead body lying in the road. They discov ered that It was Ruffln Blair's body, bore It to the school-house, put out pickets, and stood guard over u an nigni. On Wednesday, tne wnoie neighborhood was greatly excited, and about 75 men organized under the Sheriff and Captain Sam Moore, and armed with the authority of the warrants of arrest, they scoured tne country, rney captured me leader, tne Rev. Asbnry Barbee, who asked why he was arrested. On being told "For the murder of Ratlin Blair," he ran. was fired at, bat missed, and several young men ran him down, recaptured him, and when taking fjiru to Athens jail he jumped from his mule, took to the busnes, was snot ana severely wounded, but escaped. On Thursday they came np with him again and ordered him to surrender, m refused; and was tired on and killed, satisued tnat some or his accom plices were in his vicinity, the sheriff's posse formed a skirmish line, scoured the country, and captured t n v uivi v . ijuuu cu uui ivim ii iouuiu vu btiu aisc 1 place, and sent them te jail.

The French still believed on Sunday that it was Fort du Mont Valerien that had been demanded by the Prussians as a condition of peace, notwithstanding that the Prussians - say it was the city of Verdun.
