Frt'm, the Liberie of September 13.
The small hand-carts which we meet at the Asnl
eres pate indicate that the poor people have chOBcn
Sunday Tor removing what remains of their effects,
of those nothlDgs which we despise and which con
Mitute thewnole fortune of those who to-morrow,
leaving these sad relics behind them, will be In the
first ranks on the ramparts. It Is heart-breaking;
the man draws, the woman pushes, the children fol
low, all earrjiDg something.
Of the tooo or sono inhabitants at Asnieres nothing
remains. Those whom one still meets are fmsten
:ng; everything is carried away, even to the flower
pots ; to remove from the country and settle at Paris
is the dream of the poor. We have Been unhooked
the windows and outside shutters of a house sur
rounded by a poor garden; further on, In a state
bordering on stupefaction, a woman is engaged in
Tasting up a iabfi on which we read, "House la the.
touDtry tojeu"
Farewell verdant rntns, email houses concealed
under the trees, family meals, Sunday aientan, bowls,
public houses, children's cries, young girls' songs
everything tumbles in.
The line Eastern Railwayjbrldge at the fonr eross
wsys, which has replaced the wooden ones burnt In

The merry public houses are closed ; the poltne a and
grisettes have disappeared.
TDK PLAIN OF GEKEVIXLERS
is deserted ; the stacks of corn and hay have disap
peared; nothing to pillage in this peninsula but
potatoes, which will doubtless be carried on at the
last moment. Here and there are some deserted
houses; in the middle of a small garden a broken
plaster bust of the prisoner of Sedan. Let his statues
be broken. t
THE" BEPOrBT Of GENEVIM.EF.S,
which Is this moment finished, is placed betvreon
St. Denis and Fort Mont Valerien. it is, people sy,
a "pasty of burets." It Is not, however, to- be de
spised. This redoubt, with its wall level with the
ground, of the thickness of a metre, and Its moat
broad and deep, 1U casements, its covered roads, its
balustrade, its platform, a glgantlo mass of earth
and sand, where a formidable artillery will soon be
pieced.
Tents, soldiers everywhere, a vast Intrenched
camp, an Impregnable position.
The fine tubular bridge of Arpenteull is ruined.
A rgenteull is deserted. The landscape is gloomy:
the modern life, which levels everjthmg, which sur
rounds itself with walls, which paints everything,
which cuts the trees and hedges, shows itself epe

BEZOKS
Is a small village, sprang up yesterday. The we.l-
to-oo artisans wno mstauea tneruseives tnereintue
tine season came back yesterday to carry off their
salad, their radishes, and watch the vintage of two
or three vines which are spread over the white walls
of the enclosure. A village melancholy and aban
doned. This Bezons was a marshal of France, who
took Landau in 1713. What a reminiscence I
COUKBEV01B
Is deserted ; its large barracks are empty. In walk
ing np the avenue one perceives the statue of the
man with the grey riding-coat, looking on at the
third invasion. He at least has bequeathed ns the
triumphal column and arch. The allies, filing on
our boulevards, had been preceded a fortnight before
by 80,000 Prussian prisoners. Napoleon the (Jreat
had made at Vanchamp. atMonternall, at Chainpan
tert, in that short French campaign, 40,000 prisoners
and taken soo cannon.
THE BRIDGE OP NEC1LLY -
is mined. What a mine! Avast crater! It Is as
suredly the Cneu bridge in France; it dates, I be
lieve, from Louis XVL The mine is so strongly
charged that the first arch of the bridge la strength-
ened by the buttress of masonry In order to lessen
iLe shock and prevent its entire destruction.
Preteanx, placed under the fire of Mont Valerien
is abandoned by Its inhabitants. The manufactories
are dtserted, the shops are shut ; there also the smalt
hand-carts are Cling along; the bedding and linen
are already saved. Everybody takes advantage of
(Sunday to take away the stoves, household utensils,
wood, old planks. All this la on the road toward
Paris.
- - MONT VALERIEN.
Abtut c o'clock we commenced the ascent of Mont
Valerien by Suresnes. The Seine, with aU its mean
Itrcgs and islets, is seen.' It is the finest panorama
ot Taris. The whole valley of the Seine can be fol
lowed by the eye. A true paradise with its mosaic
of delightful villas. Its woods, its hills; then further
on, barbarous hordes which are advancing, con
ducted by that septuagenarian, drunk with pride and
wine, the author ol the letters to Augusta, the Em
peror of the Borusslans, as Heine humorously said,
who to-morrow, perhaps, by a freak of fortune, will
be ccLEecrated Emperor of Germany.
DEVOTED STRASBURG.
A Mcht Be ere the Clty-A Rain mf 8bt mm
(shell.
Corrtf.ponitnee oj the London Time.
The readers of Longfellow's "Golden Legend" will
remember well the first scene, In watch Lucifer and
the powers of the air are busily engaged endeavoring
to tear down the cross from the exquisitely beautiful
f pire of Strasbnrg Minster. Any one who spent last
mght, as I did, at Kelil, would Imagine that all the
powers of the air and of darkness had returned in
renewtd force, determined to accomplish their fell
design. The German army, however, who are now
bombarding Strasburg are most anxious, at almost
any cost, to spare the Cathedral, although It fur
nishes a most admirable observatory for the French
officers, who from It are able to see what their ene
mies are about. The bombardment of a fortress
like Strasburg, of the very first rank, U, It is to be
hoped, a spectacle that Europe will not see again
during this generation.
The old railway station is about one-third
of a Wile from the heart of Kehl, and, for
tunately, the pointsman and his wife, who had,
like the rest of the inhabitants, fled away upon
the first bombardment of KebJ. bal returned
the very day before. In their apple-loft I soon en
sconced myself. Its window looked right out upon
Strasburg Minster.which must be a short two miles;
acout Mio to 7oO yards in front of me was the North
Battery, a little on the right; about the ime dis
tance, but on the left, was a mortar battery, while
the South Lattery was also on my left, but seemed
lehlad me, as Ue shells seemed to rush past at tome
littie distance. Some distance in front, it may have
been a m.le, was the Schelgen Battery, while much
further to the rght was a battery whose name I do
not know, which throughout the night threw shells
with fuses burning, so that their course could easily
be traced through tne sky. The other batteries
teemed to Pre shells with percussion caps, so that
their couise I coold not trace. Of the batteries on
the Alsace side of the rlty I saw nothing, and, there
lore, can say nothing. Before the sun set I
took a little walk away from the town to see if any
wtaere the interminable avenue of poplars would
allow me to get a view of the citadel and town of
Btrasburg, and took refuge from a pelting shower,
under the roof of a, for the time, deserted tile manu
factory. Here some peasants came with the same
object. They were inhabitants of Kehl, but had
taken refuge at Appenweier, a village some five
miles away. We fcpoke of the determination of
General Uhrich to hold Strasburg to the last extre
mity, and it was observed that he was of German
face, born in Pfaiaburg (his wife and family are
now In Germany). One of the peasant women char
acteristically remarked : "Yes, if he had been a
bora Frenchman he would bave surrendered long
sco." At W) dense columns of smoke rose from
AtlLlitJ in ice elicit!. Tne suiters thought
it must be the explosion of a powder maia
r.lne; we heard also that an Immense stock or
firewood wan burning furiously. And now, as the
Unlit laded, the cannonade became heavier. Light
ning flashes from the North Itattery, and in a lew
seconds comes the heavy boom. You hear the rush
or the shell through the air, and when you have had
time to count about thirty you bear it explode in
ttrasbnrg. Modern fort ideations are always con
structed some distance outside towns, but Stras
burg, though immensely strengthened in modern
times, is an old fortress, and, unhappily, Its fortifi
cations come right np to the houses. There are
about M),w0 peaceful inhabitants in Strasburg, who
are not able in the slightest to Influence General
Ullrich's declBion. General I'hrlch Is guided solely
by what be regards as his duty as a soldier. The
Germans have no unkind feeling towards the in
habitants of Strasburg. Beyond the determination
to have a sound peace, one which France shall not
again have the power to disturb, I have never heard
them express any unkind feelings towards the
people of France, Still, If they mean to have
Strasburg they must day and night fight at Its forti
fications, and the shells many of them, at any rate
fired against the walls go crash into the houses of
peaceful citizens, or burst in the streets. Kven if
the people take refuge in the cellars, the shells often
crush and set Ore to the houses, and the unfortu
nate Inhabitants only escape one dreadful death to
meet with another. A lady connected with the court
at Stuttgart told me on Tuesday that on Monday she
dined with a gentleman who, with his three little
children, was shut up in Strasburg. Being a Ger
man, the commandant would not give him a pass to
go out, as he said he was quite capable of bearing
arms, and might bear them against France. Mat
ters stood thus when a bomb fell In the street where
he had his family, and killed and wounded eight
women. He now determined at all hazards to get
bis family through the lines, and, by the assistance
of a French officer, happily succeeded. This is
war. Is he not doubly accursed or GoJ and man
who wantonly commences it? By 7 o'clock battery
answers battery, and the roar is unlntermittent.
From all sides leap the tongues of flame, and
the rush as of a steam-engine through the air
tells that each one propels a messenget of death.
Occasionally the shells explode la the air, but this
Is seldom, as the accuracy of the firing Is remark
able. Now there Is a terrltlc vomiting forth of flame
in front of me. to my left, with a deafening sharp re
port, and np rises, apparently right up to the stars
which are looking so quietly down upon it all, a
flaming something which looks like a rocket, ana
which, forming a vast ellipse, drops down into the
devoted city, or rather, God grant, into the cltadei,
and explodes with a dull thud. It is a bomb; the
nmrtar battery Is getting to work. And now shell
follows shell in rapid succession from the South Bat
tery at my left, and a little behind ; bomb IqIIows
bomb from the mortars; all the ether batteries are
at work. I sometimes fancy I hear a bell In Stras
burg, and even shouts and cries, but it is too indis
tinct to be sure. Strange to say, upon our side,
which is all I can speak for, there seems to be no
reply, or very little, from the citadel. As an honest
man, I am bound to say I am much more comfort
able that there Is not. Has General Uhrich run short
of ammunition, and if he has why does he not sur
render, or is he reserving it for the horrible possi
bility of a storm? God graut it' may not come to
that, or there will be sad slaughter. And so the
night wears on; not a shot that I can discover on
our side from the citadel, but a perfect
"feu dencr'' pouring into the devoted place.
'0 Straaburg, Strasburg, wundcrhont atadt,"
this Is a sad time for thee I , The
fire in the citadel blazes up, and towards mldn'ght is
very bright Through all the cannonade there
stands the Minster, in all its ideal beauty, and seems
to look down npon the passionate strife of men
around it with the same serenity anJ calmness that
the moon does. I hear that It is very little lujared ;
from where I was I couid detect no Injury. One gets
used to everything, even a cannonade, an1 I even
laid me down on the floor and tried to sleep, but, in
addition to the constant roar around, the cat that
robbed me of my supper is prowling about the loft,
and the only light I nave Is what gleams at me from
her eyeballs. It Is morning, the cannon still thun
ders, but no longer are the lightning tongues visible
as in the night, and you cannot even track the course
of the bombs. 1 am Intensely weary, and determine
te get back to Oilenburg and to bed aa soon as pos
sible. Once out or the house and my face turned to
the east there is a glorious but singular sunrise; the
whole sky above the mountains of the Black Forest
Is blooil ifHl, canoplaU In olouds of whlort oolor th
sun rises. It is ominous or rain, and looks ominous
tor tne uosts arounu sr.rasuurg. xne cannon is still
booming as I write ; it must have been a very heavy
day.
RUSSIA.
An AttstrlanIliiBslnn Alliance Foreshadowed.
The Vienna correspondent of the London Tele-
graph, evidently snaring tne t reni n proclivities or
that journal, thus alludes, nnder date of Sept. 8, to
certain indications of a future alliance between Aus
tria and KuBsia for mutual defense:
The marvelous tide of victory which, to our pre
sent seeming, is carrying uie rrussian stanaaras
across the plains of Champagne to the walls of Paris
was not by any means anticipated in all its success
ful entirety by Russia, when Prince GortschakotT
went ball to count lstsmarck for tne protection and
safety of the Prussian rear. Circumstan
ces notoriously alter cases ; and the
unexpected Prussian annexation of Alsace
and Lorraine, together with the inaugura
tion of a French republic, have made the Russian
JM mister oi foreign ah airs sunt nts winu a little.
Europe, according to the serious conviction or St.
Petersburg, is aoout to witness a terrific struggle
between the Red and Blue Spectres. Neither of
these apparitions is at all agreeable or welcome to
tne government oi tne czar, ana or tne two tne
first is, perhaps, the one to be most dreaded. An
nexation fever is a mighty dangerous disease in
emperors and' kings, chanceiors, ana such like,
and can only be exorcised by sanguinary
and costly remedies. Whether the fear be
reasonable or not. people here and in Kus
sia begin to entertain grave apprehensions
abont the future policy of Prussia. They are or
the opinion that Count Bismarck will, if he is allowed
successfully to absorb Alsace and Lorraine, proceed
to give further high-banded illustrations to the pa
triotic queries as to wnat is tne uerman atnenana.
I don't at all Bliare these apprehensions ; for Count
Bismarck iicing victor, l am convinced tnat a more
noble, disinterested, philanthropic, peaceaole, and
scrupulous statesman never before disturbed the
peace of Europe. For all this Austria does uneasily
look forward to a fresh onslaught, and Russia thinks
it lust possible 'hat tne oia question or the German
provinces of the Baltic now in her possession may
crop up again Dei ore sne naa naa tne time to
thoroughly RusBianize them. In the present
aspect of affairs, therefore, it has seemed
good to Prince Gortahakotr to draw nearer to Aua
trla in loving friendship. The Czar and his Chancel
lor bad many things to explain and suggest which
could not be put upon paper, and, very properly
avoiding the ever-to-be-horrlblv-remembered fiasco
of Count Benedettl, they decided to request Count
Chotek, the Austrian Ambassador at St. Petersburg,
to start on the wings of the morning to Vienna, and
report to nts Government tne exceedingly amiable
intentions and wishes or the St. Petersburg rulers
towards those of this city. Count Chotek's travels
at the present juncture are easily explained accord
ing to this Government. There are at this moment
one or two pretty little outstanding differences
between Russia and Austria, which are not verv
portentous in themselves, but are still very conve
nient to Keep on nana in international grievance
stores till occasion requires. For Instance, tobacco
is chean In Russia and dear in Austria, while alco
hol is cheap in Austria ami dear in Russia. Smug
gling ana wrangling ensue in consequence along
the whole Galliclan frontier. Russia wants Austria
to regulate her tariff practically for Russiaa con
venience. Count BeuBt rejoins, he can't; for the
matter rests with the Relchsrath; and the Itelchs
rath, having its bands full of private quarrels. Ig
nores possible external feuds. A second and more
formidable grievance exists In the proximity aud
Intrigues of the monastery of Wlelo-Krinitzka, in
t tie ttuaowina, not, lar irom tne itussian frontier,
This monastery appears to be the holy of holies and
headquarters of the sect of Raskolnoks, which, I am
told, la very numerous ana troublesome in iiussta.
This is the only monastery of the sect which pos
sesses tne faculty oi oruaining lit priestnoou, ana is
tnereiore specially obnoxious to jtussia, which re
aulrea Its suppression by the Ausfian Government:
to which Count Beust, as a matter of course, replies
that free AnBtria can t do such arbitrary acts. The
main object of Count Chotek's journey, however, is
undoubtedly in connection with the "general Euro
pean question," and Russia would be pleased just
now to come to an entente eoraiate on it with Austria.
What Russia proposes is best known to herself and
the Austrian Chancellor; and it behooves the latter
to be wary, for the Argus-eyed Bismarck is Inteutly
watching him, as well as everybody else, from the
vineyard ot luauipague.
THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASSES AND TBI WAR.
The Spectator bolds that the expressions of the
opinion of our working classes on the war ought not
to be contemptuously passed by aa nugatory. We
may be sure that a change of phase In the politics
of the war which has already made the feelings of
English working men veer round so suddenly from

Friday, Sept 30, 1W0. (
The state of the weather to-day has a decided
influence on the money market as well as on
moEt branches of trade. Vory little money is
wanted by the brokers, as there Is no employ
ment for it, and rates to-day for call loans were
lower. We quote at 5&5 per cent, on good
collateials. Some paper is ottering, but the
amount falls far short of the dally average for
the week, and capitalists are perhaps less exact
ing. We quote prime acceptances at 6(f9 per
cent., according to credits and other circum
stances. 4 1
There is no regular New York gold quotation
this morning, but on Third street the brokers
are buying at 113114, and selling at 1H.
Governments are quiet and rather weak, with
few transactions to notice.
Local stocks were decidedly dull and nominal.
Small sales of new city ts at 101.
In Reading Railroad there were no sales. The
bid were 48-31(S48. Sales of Pennsylvania at
G0K, an advance; Lehigh Valley at 59; and
Camden and Amboy at 114. 2,1 was bid for
Cntawisea preferred, and 2o for Philadelphia

done was in Lehigh, which sold at b. o.
