THE SIIirMENT OF ARMS TO FRANCE.
From f to T. r. lYUmn
Within the last tkirty days, or since the
establishment of the Provisional Government
in Paris, the Frenoh military authorities hare
porchased in this country, and shipped from
this port, large numbers of breech-loading
rifles, and vast supplies of ammunition, car
tridges, eto. Xhe first shipment (5000 rifles)
was by the French steamer Pereire, on the
.Id of September, the day after the surrender
of Louis Napoleon at Sedan. The next ship
ment was on the 20th, by the Frenoh steam
ship Lafayette, whioh carried 15,000 breech
loaders of the so-called Egyptian pattern.
The third shipment was on the 3d instant
(Monday last), by the French steamship
Yille de Paris, which had a cargo of rifles
numbering nearly 40,000, besides an immense
volume of cartridges. We understand that
the French steamship St. Laurent, which
leaves this port on Saturday of next week,
will take out a still larger supply than either
of the three preceding steamers. The orders
from France to our principal rifle manufac
turers are unlimited, and the French agents
here are under directions' to secure the ship
ment of military supplies with all possible
baste. The steamships of the French line
four in number leave this port fortnightly;
and it will be observed from the preceding
statements that all of them are actively en
gaged in the transport of arms. The first
small shipment of rifles was, we believe, on
private or speculative acoount; but all the
subsequent shipments have been by direct
order of the Provisional Government of
France.
There have been some complaints, from
German sources against our Government for
permitting the export of these great supplies
of arms and cartridges to France at the pre
sent crisis. It is said that they are to be used
against the German armies,, that they will be
the means of enabling France to prolong the
war indefinitely, and that thus we are morally
responsible for the destruction of life and ail
the horrible results that may ensue. Similar
complaints were formally made to England,
under similar circumstances, by the Prussian
Government, four weeks ago. It having
been then announced that France was about
to receive 40,000 Chassepots from English
manufacturers,' Count Bismarck sent a des
patch to the English Government, saying
that while England professed to be neutral
in the war, she was virtually transformed
into a French arsenal and storehouse,
and demanding that the export of weapons
and ammunition from England should be pro
hibited. The Prussian Minister fortified his
demand by referring to the action of the Prus
sian Government during the Crimean war,
when England and France were engaged with
Russia. No less than three authoritative
orders were then issued from Berlin on the
subject. The first formally prohibited the
transport of weapons, in order, to prevent
arms being sent from lieigium w Kassia
through Prussian territory. The second
order prohibited the transport of "munitions
of war of every kind, especially of projectiles,
percussion caps, and gun-flints; as also lead,
sulphur, and saltpetre." The third order re
peated the terms of the second, and added to
the prohibitory list' 'weapons and gunpowder."
Count Bismarck holds that the British Gov
ernment ought at this time to follow the policy
which I'russia adopted towards England in
1854. But, in reply to his demand, the Eng.
lish Government alleged that it had no power
to take such a step without the express au
thorization of Parliament. Thus the case
now stands between these parties; and France
has for a month past been receiving ' large
finirolies of arms and ammunition from Ener-
lisn manufacturers. It is altogether impro
bable that the English Parliament would pass
any law making it illegal for British mauufao
turers to export arms. It was after the
present war had broken out that Parliament
adopted the new Jsngiish neutrality law,
which was Incorporated in the Queen's procla
mation of neutrality, issued on the 9th of last
August. This law closely resembles, in seve
ral of its leading features, the American neu
trality law (the act of 1818), which President
Grant incorporated in bis neutrality nroma
ruation issued on the 22d of August last;' but
though the terms of the English act are even
more stringent than those of the American
act in prohibiting enlistments for foreign
service, and the furnishing of ships or other
"active contraband for belligerent govern
me nts, it resembles our own in so far as it
refrains from prohibiting the export of guns,
. ammunition, or other "passive contraband "
Iiaving thus at so recent a date, and under
the same circumstances as now exist, au
' thonzed the manufacture and sale of arms to
aty power, whether at peace or war, with
wLich England is on friendly terms, the
English Parliament would undoubtedly tup
port the Government in resisting Bismarck's
demand for pronibitory action.
- President Grant, in bis proclamation of
iieutrality between the belligerent in the
present war, took especial paina to deflae the
limits of the American doctrine of neutrality,
He quoted the restrictive provisions of the
law of imp; but in wnat we may call the pre
amble of his proclamation he explicitly says
that the laws of the United States "do not
interfere with the open manufacture or sale
of arms or munitions of war," and near the
close of the proclamation he says that "all
persona may lawfully, and without restriction
on account of the existing state of war.
manufacture and sell within the United States
arms and munitions of war, and other artioles
ordinarily known as contraband of war." This
language of the President is inaooordance with
the law andwitn tne policy of the United
btatea during tne last half-century. When
the proclamation was issued our authorities
bad no idea which one of the belligerents.
or whether either of them, would, during the
f rogress ot Hostilities, derive any advantage
rom the established doctrine which the
President seta forth. If Prussia bad been
unfortunate in the field, and bad needed to
purchase anus, there would have been no
restraint upon her procuring them in this
market. If now, or hereafter, she should be
unable to replaoe the waste of war, our mar
kets are open to France. The law was not
enacted for the benefit nor for the disadvan
tage of either of the belligerents. It has been
on our statute boo since 1818. and is the ex
pression of the established policy of our Gov
ernment in regard to nations involved in hos
tilities.
1 ' i
THE CHAOTIO CONDITION OF EUROPE
WHAT DOES IT PORTEND ?
From tks Hi Y. Herald,
c Europe at present is like a ship at sea in a
terrific storm, when all on board are at their
wit's feBft to-know how to save themselves.
Phe is rocxiDg and surging on the waves of
war and revolution. 'The old statesmen who
bave bad the belm in hand have beoome un
steady and obstinate, not willing to throw
overboard the dead weight of the past, and
no bolder and more capable men have yet
appeared to lighten and guide the ship. The
monarchs and aristocrat are intent upon
crushing, or at least checking, the revolu
tion. They bave but one thought to save
their crowns-and privileges. To do this they
would rather have the waf continued, and all
the continent in a blaze, than yield to the re
publican revolution. The sacrifice of hun
dreds of thousands of lives, or millions
even, and the accumulation of stupendous
debts, weigh as nothing in the scales against
their prerogatives. On the other band, the
sentiments of liberty, republicanism, progress,
and emancipation. from despotio rule are
deep-seated in the hearts of the people.
These are upheaving society everywhere like
a mighty earthquake. But the people laok
organization and able leaders. While they
are the real and great power, they have been
so long under the heel of monarchical and
aristocratic rule that they hardly know how
to use their strength. Still, with all the dis
advantages they labor under, and with all the
organized power of the old rulers and the
enormous military forces under their control,
the people are making great progress
toward self-government. It is this conflict
between the privileged few and the masses
between the idoas of the past and the pre
sent that is now raging in Lorope and that
bas brought about the chaotic state of things
there.
This struggle is seen very prominently in
the relentless war which the Prussian mon
archy is making upon the republio of France.
Without avowing it, and, indeed, while it is
denied by Count Bismarck, there is no doubt
that the chief object of the war now on the
part of Prussia is to squelch the republio to
Btrangle it in its infancy lest republican
ideas should spread in Germany and over
Europe. This is natural; just as much so as
for a man to exert all his efforts to save his
property when' threatened. The monarchs
and aristocracies nave regarded tne people as
their heritage and government over them as
their right. Consequently thera is nothing
they will leave undone to maintain their
privileges. They know very well
tnat a republic in trance is a
standing menace to them and their preten
sions. They saw the enect in 1830 and 1813
of revolution in France. From the central
position of that country, as well as from the
electric force of revolutionary ideas thit rise
there, the whole Continent becomes agitated.
It has always been, and still is, the focus of
revolutionary and republican contagion in
1-urope. Is it not natural, then, for King
William of Prussia to wage war against the
French republio in the. interest of himself
and family and for his brother monarchs?
Is not this a sufficient reason why the other
crowned beads, and why Queen Victoria and
the British aristocracy, stand aloof and do
not attempt to stop the war?
Another evidence of this conflict of ideas
and the chaos, into which Europe is thrown is
the activity of monarchical and imperialist
sgents. Almost all the news received in
America and spread over Europe is either
given out or concocted by these agents with
a coloring to suit their purposes. At one
time we hear of dreadful doings in Paris and
other parts of t rance by the "reds and dis
organizes, and this in the face of the fact that
the t rench people are acting with great unity
to preserve internal order while . they are
Heroically ngnting tne foreign invader. The
object of. such pretended news is apparent.
It is to operate upon the public sentiment of
the world, to create alarm of the republic
and to make people believe order can only be
maintained under monarchical government.
Now we have on one dav a Tjretended iinne.
rialist manifesto of Napoleon, emanating from
an imperialist organ established in London,
and on the next day a report that this is
bogus. But whether bogus or not it shows
the active agency of parties in Europe to
damage and check republicanism, to sustain
monarchy and to make the present confusion
worse confounded. And it is well to note
that the British capital, more than any other
place, is the hotbed of this spurious news and
these anti-republican movements.
But what does this chaotic state of things
portend? What is to oome of it? From,
present appearances all Europe, and may be
a part of Asia and Africa, is going to be in
volved in war and revolution. Even tho.se
monarchs not engaged in war may resort to
it to avert revolution at home and to give
another direction to the public mind. This,
however, may prove in the end a two-edged
sword, xtxe people are now too enlightened,
probably, to be deceived by that, and the re
volution the rulers would avert by suoh
means may lead to it. Then there are national
and territorial questions springing1 up, and
questions of race and religion, as well of
the adjustment of the balance of power,
which add to the complications and mike the
future very uncertain. Russia is moving for
some object, and, probably, for accomplishing
her long-desired purpose in the East. Eng
land is trembling and the prey of uncertainty,
Austria is anxiously watching events and
doubtful what course to take. Italy has
made great strides and obtained a great and
positive result in taking Rome and uniting
all the Italians, but she is in the throes of
revolution and fast tending to a republio.
Chaos reigns supreme, and the only light
gleaming upon us is mat snowing tne ad
vancement ot tne people toward self-govern
ment in one form or another. No one can
say how long the struggle will last or what
dreadful scenes Lurope has to pass through:
but the end must be more freedom for the
people and a nearer approach to the admirable
tnd progressive system of government estab
j j sued in our own nappy country.-
VICTOR HUGO AND PARIS. .
Frm tlie A. O. Republican.
Victor Hugo bas fired a column of short
sentences at the Germans for besieging Paris.
He does not want Paris hurt. It is the heart
of civilization. Says this mitraiUeur of rhap
sody. "Atnens ana Home were; I'ans is.
Just so, O Victor, but as Athens and Rome
fell, so may Paris. They were; Pans may
be. It is ber own will which is te determine
if she shall succumb or live. If she desires
to continue, let her make peace. If she de
sires to fall, let ber continue to make war.
Germany offers terms; Paris threatens to gail-
lotine the ruler who accepts them. It is
manifestly the will of Paris then to perish, if
a BurreBaer to lung William is death, as lingo
considers it to be. All these short sentences
settle no controversies. Wars are made for a
purpose, and sentences with threlf words in
them, although Victor Hugo may be their
author, do not serve to obscure the purpose.
When France is ready to make a satidfaotory
treaty, the Prussians will be ready to fall
back. Until that time, all tbh talk about
peace is fox-fire. , A little dressing down
about Paris will not hurt her. She is too
greatly demoralijed to be injured by a little
wholesome castigation. Her splendor has
corrupted the age. Her frivolity has almoU
ruined r ranee, see is tne seat of lamry,
end the hot-bed of vice. The extremes of 1
life bave met in ber palaces and purlieus.
She bas been the temptation of Earope. The
poison of ber vices was felt throughout the
circuit of civilization. As Athens fell because
she became brazen and wicked, as Rome per
ished because her men and women fell into
dissipation and effeminacy, so let Paris
either be chastened or dethroned from
her rule of debauohery. Tb.e red flag of re-
Eublioanism cannot sanctify the unolean
ands of the robbers who plunder in the name
of patriotism. The storm of war must either
regenerate or destroy this modern Babylon.
And although she may point to her libraries
and academies, .as Thebes pointed to her
hundred gates, these cannot save her, if the
besom that has swept through all ages is now
trailing over the city by the Heine to prostrate
her an it prostrated Tyre and SidoD,Jtnd Athens
and Rome, lnls is a world of vengeanoe.
Capitals of to-day are unknown to-morrow.
The "heart of civilization'' is capable of
translation. War is the great surgeon that
blots out cities and nations. Its ponderous
band has destroyed the empires of the past,
and it will destroy the kingdoms
of the present. . And no man can
tell how this has been done better than Victor
Hugo, and no man can prediot it with greater
strength of language than he can. Germany
is the force of nature, just as the Hans were.
lier mysterious strength is a wonder, but it
is divine, unless we are willing to deny Provi
dence! hoe is an unknown cause working
out an unseen and impenetrable result. We
see the trail of her desolation as we see the
ashes of a city destroyed by fire. A thousand
foot-piints are made to-day on the waste of
conflRgration, but to-morrow a beautiful
structure rises where the rookeries went
down,' Rehabilitation is in constant practice;
and, if Paris perishes, out of her mortal ruins
and her immortal memories a better capital
may be buiU. Where the Lord loves, there He
Bends chastisement. Let this be the common
consolation of all mankind for whatever may
happen.
THE SIEGE OF PARIS.
From the A. F. Timet.
It is a fortnight ago since the. siege of
Palis was formally entered upon. Mediation's
army capitulated on the 2d of September.
Sixteen days later the troops which had
fought around Sedan found the passage of
the Marne, within a few leagues of Paris, dis
puted by General Vinoy. By the 20th Sep
tember they had gained possession of the
woods of Meudon and Clamart, southwest of
the fortifications; and their terrible artillery
was being brought to bear from the opposite
heights upon the outer line of the southern
defenses of Pans, lhus far the siege has
been an irregular series of artillery duels,
varied by an occasional softie from the be
sieged, and one or two successful attacks by
the besiegers, upon points advantageously
situated for purposes of bombardment or
assault. On the whole, however, the Prus
sians bave shown, up to this point, more
anxiety to make the blockade complete than
to attempt any decided breach in the enemy's
works. It was doubtless calculated that
Paris, completely isolated from the rest of
the world, and compelled to faoe alone all
the horror of her impending doom, would
forget her tone of defiance, and bow to any
terms rather than brave the full measure of
the power of her assailants. But Paris, gay.
frivolous and self-indulgent, has calmly faced
tne Hour of Her darkest trouble, ami has de
veloped that latent heroism which her long
masquerade of folly has been unable to stifle.
Her worst enemies were thought to be within
ber walls. Save the panio of a regiment of.
Zouaves, there has been no evidence of
pusillanimity; save some unsupported rumors,
there has been no. record of a disposition,
even among the lowest ranks of the populace,
either to riot or pillage.
tor fourteen days the city has been in
closed by four concentrio rings. First, the
inner wall of ciroumvallation, bristling with
cannon, end manned by thousands of watch
ful troops; next, at distances varying from
one to three miles, a circle of some fifteen
forts, with heavy armament and well secured
connection with the inner wall; next, a belt
of country four or five mile s wide, and at
bast thirty miles circumference, where
buildings bave been razed and trees burned,
and where, except during an occasional
sortie, there is absolute solitude, and except
when the opposing guns are exchanging
shot 8 there is absolute silence; and, last of
all, a broken and irregular circle, whose
segments are German encampments, and
hastily entrenched positions. The outer
circle has now begun to contraot like the
heavy folds of a boa-constrictor, around ' its
victim. The solitude and silence of the one
within it is straightway to be broken by the
hissing progress of the fatal shell. Paris has
come triumphantly out of the first ordeal of a
blockade; she is now to be submitted to the
terrible trial of a bombardment. The Prus
sian ordnance on the heights of , Soeaux may
reduce tee Luxemburg to ruins. The lava'
lides, the Aro de Triompbe, and perhaps
even the Louvre may be readied by the
fire of batteries advantageously posted
at bt. L'lond. loe wnole civilized
world will bear with regret the news
which echoes the discharge of the first
mortar upon the treasures of art and culture,
and upon all toe Jielpless thousands of non
combatants that are crowded behind the
walls of Paris. And still the question arises,
to what grJod does all this tend ? Will the
tlx millions of adult Frenchmen that remain
after Paris bas become a heap of ruins be
any less disposed to fight than they were be
fore she fell ? Is the war to beoome a jwar of
extermination, and the name of France to be
blotted from the map of Europe? We can
not regard, without disbelief in the boasted
advance of humanity tfte prolongation of a
struggle which bas ceased to have any moral
purpose, or to possess ady but the 'saddest
kind of interest for all lovers of liberty.
