Aaotner letter to the French from Count de
Chiunbord
Count de Chambord has jast addressed the
following manifesto to France:
Frenchmen: Once more jour destinies are
in your own hands.
lor the fourth time within less than half a
century your political institutions have col
lapsed and we arc gircn over to tho most sad
trials.
Ought not France at length to see tho end of
these barren agitations, the sources of so many
misfortunes? It is for you to answer.
During long years of unmerited exile, I have
not allowed my name to bo for a single day a
cause of division and trouble; bnt at the pre
sent moment, when that name may perhaps be
a pledge of unanimity and security, I do not
hesitate to tell my country that I am ready to
devote my whole self to the protection of her
happiness.
Yes, France will again lift up her head, if, en
lightened by the teachings of experience, and
weary of so many fruitless endeavors, she will
consent to enter again on the path which Provi
dence has marked out for her.
Chief of that house of Buurbon which, by the
belp of God and of your fathers, once built up
France Into a powerful unity, I ought to feel
more profoundly than any one else the extent of
our disasters, and to mo more than to any other
belongs the task of repairing them.
May the Borrow of my country bo the signal
for awakening to noble efforts! The stnroger
will be driven from the soil and the integrity of
our territory assured if we will only concentrate
to the attainment of one end all our efforts, all
our devotion, all our sacrifices.
Do net forget that it is by going back to Its
traditions of faith and honor that the great
nation, weakened for one moment, will recover
its power and its glory.
As I lately told you,"government does not con
sist in flattering the passions of the people, but
In confiding in their virtues. Do not allow
yourselves to be led away by fatal Illusions.
Republican institutions which might correspond
to the new aspirations will never take root in
our old monarchical soil.
Penetrated with a sense of the needs of my
time, all my ambition is to found, with your
help, a truly national government, with right
for Its basis, honesty for the principle of its ad
ministration, and moral greatness for its end.
Lei us wipe away all memory of past disputes,
so fatal to the development of true progress and
true liberty.
Frenchmen, let this one crv rise from your
hearts: "All for France, by France, and with
France." Henri.
The French Frontier (Swiss), Oct. 9, 1870.
A FREIS'CU CIXCINNATUS.
AJ. Preuya de Iihuys "Ketorolac to his Cow.
The London Times of October 15 says of M.
de Lhuys: "This eminent gentleman, formerly
ambassador from France at the English Court,
was on Wednesday evening a gue6t at the annual
dinner of the Koyal Jersey Agricultural and
Horticultural Society. In replying to the toast
drunk to him as President of the Soclete
d'Agriculture de France, he was very deeply
affected, and apologized that the state of his
feelings would not permit him to dwell at such
length as he could wish on a subject which en
gaged so much of his attention as that of agri
culture, lie said, 'You cannot expect from me,
in the melancholy circumstances to which my
presence among you is attributable, any very
extended or flowery speech. I may well adopt
the language of the Hebrew children of old, and
pay "How can I 6ing a song In a strange land?"
Mt thinks I hear from alar, while sojourning
here a stranger among you, tho din of battle ana
the shrieks of death in my beloved country.
Rethinks I see in the dark perspective long
days of havoc urging their destruc
tive course, and brilliant squadrons mowing
their bloody way through embattled hosts. Par
don me if for a moment I have cost a shade of
gloom over this smiling scene. As your guest I
express to you my sincerest gratitude lor the
ccrdial hospitality accorded by you to me as
President of the Bociete d'Agriculture de France.
I congratulate you as a society for the renown
which you have gained in connection with the
breeding of cows. Your Jersey cattle have ob
tained the highest praise, not only in England
but in America also, where they are highly
valued and esteemed.' The honorable gentle
man's remarks were greeted with loud cheers.',
CROWS DIAMONDS.
The Diamond District ofHouth Africa-Glories
I ! Uolraada (luidooe.
Diamond Fields, Vaal Kiver, Aug. 14, 1870.
Our party have succeeded in obtaining per
mission from Mr. Kallenburg, missionary at
J niel Mission station, to work on tbe " farm "
on the " Free State " side of the Vaal river. On
the first day we took out two diamonds, perfect
beauties, that will do to set without cutting or
polishing. It is astonishing what a great pro
portion ot tbe diamonds are of first water, ier
feet shape, and free from specks and flaws; and
another astonishing thing ia the great propor
tion ol large ones lound. la Brazil ouly one In
10,000 reaches eighteen karats ; here about one
in auo. iou constantly bear of and see live,
six, ana eignt Karat diamonds, mat nave been
found mobtly on the other side of the river.
though where the diamonds seem to bo more
scattered, on mis side, tney are mostly small,
but you can cepena upon unaiug
SEVERAL DIAMONDS ON EACH CLAIM
of thirty, feet square. When I say small I mean
an averuce of one carat each. These are con
eidered small here, but in Australia they send
home diamonds that take sixty to make one
carat. Mr. Kallenburg demands one-fourth of
the productions of each claim as a kind of
rovaltv for the privilege of working the claim.
A Mr. Babbest obtained a concession of the
estate some two months ago for the purpose
of minlnc: he went away and did not return
until a few days back, wheD he found that at least
two hundred miners were working it, and that
Mr. K. had pocketed the one-fourth royalty,
amounting to some inousanas or pouuus ster
ling. He demanded this from Mr. K., who re
fund to clve it ud. alleging that Mr. 11. had de
f erted tbe estate and left all the labor to htm.
Mr. li. Immediately posted oil to Bloetnfoutieu,
tbe capital, to demand that tbe estate should be
) r. tided ever to bim. All the miner a-e antl.nH
that D. tiiould ti li, mo u tum pi vinievU W pul
down the royalty to ten per cent of tho produc
tion, instead of twenty-five, as now enforced.
DIAMONDS ARE STILL BEING FOUND
on this estate in regular proportion to the in
crease of miners. There are about two hun
dred claims taken, worked by men, women, and
children, of all kinds and colors. The average
yield is about thirty diamonds a day, averaging
in value about 7 each. Whenever a large one
is found, which is about once a week, it brings
the average np to 10 each.
A RUMOR
is out that a 100 carat diamond has been found,
worth 40,000, but no one has seen It at head
quarters and it is not believed. Tbe diamonds
on the other side are not so plentiful or pure as
thofo found on this 6ide, but they average 2
carats each, with a value of 15 each; the ave
rage yield is about thirty a day from three hun
dred claims. No very largo ones have been
known to be found since Proctor's carat
one, valued at 2500; perhaps a dozen have
been found ince weighing 8, 10, and 12 carats.
The 03 carat one found near it is supposed
to be a sell, as parties at headquarters say
it was found long ago, and that it is brought
into the field again to find a verdant
purchaser. It is a miserable-looking stone.
about the thickness of your finger and half an
inch long, fit for nothing but boast, and worth
about 4.100, they say. the claims on this side
are deeper than on tho other. We have gone
down eleven feet, and have not got to the bot
tom of the gravel yet, whereas on tho other
fide the gravel is only from six inches to three
feet deep. Diamonds have been found on this
side at a depth of six feet, so far. We intend to
go to tbe bottom of our claim if there is any.
Most of the miners, however, believe in most
diamonds being found near the surface, and
they do not go deeper than three feet generally.
There is a steady
INCREASE OF MINERS
every day about twenty-five wagons a day
arriving. Each company consists of from two
to six white men, and from two to six Kaflirs.
There arc about one thousand miners and their
families on the other side.
AN ELECTION
took place last night by which twelve commit
teemen and a president thereof were elected.
Thev invited the President of the Transaval Re
public rnd Orange iree State to a conference
cn the 15th of this month, to-morrow, to settle
tbe question of ownersbip ot the diamond fields
on that side of the river. They also invited the
Kaflir Chiefs Waterboer, John Blaem and Jantje,
who all claim the country.
AN IKON STORE
arrived here a few dajs ago, and is up, and full
of all kinds of goods, provision, clothing, hard
ware, etc., at very reasonable prices, uonee,
one (shilling per pound. Sugar, nine pence per
pound. Sheep, ten shillings each. Beef, four
pence per pound. Cord meal, fourteen shil
lings a bushel. A large tent was erected here
with an iron roof, and a billiard table put in it.
Sixty pounds a day is taken in from pool and
whisky. There are at least ten whisky mills
going now, but the miners are not much given
to drunkenness, and altogether they are a very
orderly set.
JIFF. DAVIS.
What the Ylrfflnlnna Think oflllm-I.ee tbelr
rurorite.
A correspondent of the Washiugton Star
writes:
Jeff. Davis, who has been on a visit to Europe
for the past year, arrived in Alexandria yester
day morning, en route to his home in Mississippi,
via Memphis. He reached the city on the mail
boat from Washington, and proceeded Imme
diately to tbe Mansion House, where he regis
tered his name, "Jefferson Davis," without
giving his residence, and was assigned to room
No. 24. lie remained at tho hotel about an
hour, during which time he was visited by a
number of persons, bnt no very fervid demon
stration was made, owing to the fact that the
admirers of the head of the defunct Confederacy
in the ancient town of Alexandria
are not numerous. General Lee was their
favorite, and whenever he visited that city was
the recipient of every attention. Davis has his
friends here, however, yet many of tho citizens
of the place who were in sympathy with the lost
cause and served In the Southern army openly
denounce him. After remaining at the Mansion
House a short time he (Davis) took a carriage,
and, in company with General M. D. Corse, late
of the Confederate army, drove out to the resi
dence of James M. Mason, formerly United
States Senator from Virginia, on Seminary Hill,
about three miles from the city, where he dined,
and then proceeded to the residence of General
Samuel Cooper, in the same locality, where he
remained all night He returns to Alexandria
this evening, in time to take the boat for quia
creek and thence to Richmond by the Frede
ricksburg and Potomac Railroad. He looks
much the same as he did three years ago, ex
cept that he is grayer. His health is very good
since his European visit, and he appeared quite
cheerful yesterday.
rillKCE ADUMA.
The Cousin of the Tycoon aod hi Hetlaue
Their Appearance aod Opmlooo.
Aduma, a young Japanese Prince, whose
arrival in this country was announced some days
ago, reached New York yesterday morning,
accompauied by tbe ten Japanese youths who
are to be his fellow students during his stay
here. They are now located at the Metropolitan
Hotel, where it is their intention to remain so
long as they sojourn in this city. A reporter
called last evening at their hotel and had a brief
Interview with the two gentlemen who act as
interpreters to tbe Prince and bis companions,
and obtained the following information:
The party numbers eleven all told, their
names being Prince Aduma, Nanboo, Ikagawa,
Togaro, Nara, Fakado, Fdimore, Enowe, Fe
dima, Sherane, and Yagimoto. The two last
named are tbe interpreters. Prince Aduma is
cousin to the reigning Emperor of Japan, and
visits this country with the view of finishing his
education, his companions being aulmated by a
similar desire. They have not as yet determiued
what college they shall attend. Sherane and
Ikagawa, the interpreters, who both speak very
good English, are also to study with the others.
They are very intelligent, aud answered ques
tions readily and affably. At his request the
reporter was introduced to the Prince, whom he
found seated with his party In one of the ele
gant parlors of the hotel. On tho table were
several empty wine glasses, and an aroma per
vaded the room which told that tbey hid been
enjoying a slight jollification. The Prince, who
was teated somewhat apart from the others,
arose from his chair and extended his hand to
tbe reporter with a smiling '"Good evening."
The Prince is quite a youth in appearance,
seemingly not over fourteen years of age. His
figure is slim aud graceful, aud if the Bwartby
color of bis complexion is excepted there is
hardly anything about his features by which he
could be distinguished from oue of the Cauca
sian race. His countenance is pleasing, and he
has a winning, frank expreion. He was
dressed in a fashiouably cut frock coat aud neat
fitting pants, and wore a massive gold watch
and chain.
Tbe Interpreters stated that all of the party,
and especially the Prince, are delighted with
their experiences of this country, and look for
ward to tbelr sojourn here with much pleasure.

The Condition of Parla.
London, Oct, 31. The news from Paris re
ceived by way of the Prussian headquarters
before that city is quite serious. The French
prisoners recently captured report that the
troops behind tho fortifications receive only
half a ponnd of meat twice a week. Many
French women and children from Paris approach
the Pructlan lines, and though they are warned
they will be shot If they attempt to come
nearer, rather court instant death than suffer
starvation in the city. The rule to exclude all
strangers from Paris and to pi event the escape

In splended pageant by the Prince on tbe Nancy

(French) Imperial Guards marched out of Metz,
bearing their arms, which they subsequently laid
down atFrascati, and passed In review before the
Prince. This honor was accorded to them alone.
All the rest laid down their arms in the Metz
arsenals, and then marched to their cantonment
outside the town, to await transportation. The
Imperial Guards were received by tbe Prussian
troops v. 1th respect; not a jeering syllable wa9
beard nor an improperly exultaut look seen.
Previously, at the Prince's review of the Ger
man troops, the cheering was loud and long
continued. At 4 P. M., the French companies that were
still mounting guard at the various gates of
the city and at depots and arsenals were re
lieved by Prussians, two regiments of infantry
and one of cavalry having entered the town.

bazaine's intrigues.
The tragedy was completed, but there Is
another sine to the story which still remains to
be reviewed. According to the statement of
(General von Zasirow, who held the woods of
Vaux on tbe morning of August l'J (after the
battle of Gravelotte), Bizaine could have
avoided being inclosed in Metz. After he was
thus Inclosed, be could have, according to
Metzlan statemeut, made a sortie and joined
MacMabon more easily by far thau MacMahon
could reach him. After most of Bazaine's
cavalry and artillery horses had been eaten, this
proceed lug was ot course more difficult; still
hli movements are said to have lacked deter
mination, and, lu the last two sorties, to have
been even frivolous. This la charged to a plot
in behalf of tbe regency by which this army
was to try to remain in statu quo until tbe con
clusion of the war in western Frauce, and then
wus to become available, with Prusslau consent,
for BonapartUt purposes. Bazalne himself
expected in that case to be the governor

Nearlv all the Metezlans seem to believe this;
and tb ir most influontial people have avowed

The staff used at first to feed their horses on

Gravelotte, sold for $150. During five weeks
amputations have been performed without chlo
roform or ether, and wounds dressed without
carbolic acta.
DISEASE AND DEATH.
There are more than 19,000 sick and wounded.
During the siege 35,000 persons have died in
the town alone, the greater part from lack of
proper care. The prevailing diseases are vario
loid, spotted typhus, and dysentery. Scurvy
has not prevailed, though even the sick have,
for over three weeks, received their horse
steaks and horse broth without salt. The re
ported discovery of a saline spring at St. Julien
was a hoax, contrived by putting salt into the
spi ing to encourage the army.
Yesterday i was ciosctea witn tne Mayor and
tbe City Council during two hours, while they
detained me as the first stranger that had en
tered tbe town, to ask all manner of questions-
some childish in tbelr uncertainty aud terror
as to what the Prussians would do, how they
would do it, and how they must be met. It
was as li tbey bad never seen or
known a Prussian, They demanded to
know whether their already destitute larders
must still supply the troops, and
whether they would be personally maltreated if
unable to furnish what was required. They
were relieved by bearing that a thousand
wagons were ready at Courcelles to bring pro
visions hither, and also that there are funds in
London ready to be applied to their relief, in
response to the appeal of the Mayors of Briey
and other communes, published in English and
American journals, saying, "Help is needed
quickly."
GERMAN SOLDIERS GIVE TIIEIR RATIONS TO TUB
FRENCH.
The entire besieging army voluntarily gave up
their bread rations yesterday to feed their
trench captives. this deeply touched the
Metzians, and did much to relieve their fears.
At noon a Prussian railway inspector made the
trip by rail from Ars to Union Station, situated
a mile south of Metz, and to-day perfect com
munication by rail exists between Saarbruck,
Metz, and rancy. the road was little Injured.
Hut Jew uerman prisoners were found In
Metz; the French had not kept those they had
taken when they were in a condition to be re
turned. On leaving Metz, last night, I noticed
on the faces of ali the German soldiers a look
of quiet satisfaction nothing more. Not one
of tbe Drench officers and soldiers who swarmed
all about, even when intoxicated which was
surprisingly nnfreqnent wore any other ex-
prersalou than a look of eadnoea or defiance, the
latter not being common and occurring chiefly
among the younger officers.
DEMORALIZATION.
I am informed that the French loss In killed
in tbe various affairs since Angust 18, added to
tbe deaths from sickness in the town, were
42,000. Bazaine himself declined the Prince's
generous proposal to let all the troops lay
down their arms outside of the works in view
of their conquerors, instead of laying them
down in tne arsenal, saying mat ne could not
guarantee their behavior. The Imperial Guards
alone bad preserved discipline sufficiently to be
trusted to pass in armed review. The inhabi
tants had never ceased to hope for the appear
ance of Bourbaki's army from Lille, or of the
Array of the Loire, or of some other relieving
force; but the troops themselves during the last
few weeks conld no longer be deceived, as they
got better Information through the German
outposts.

The Pittsburg Post thus tells how the Younir

city tried to collect one thousand dollars which
they claimed to be due from Mr. c I). Hess.
who is well known here, and is at present
manairer of the Rlchinirs Opera Trouoe. A
summons was issued lor Mr. iiess, and a deputy
sbenlt was detailed on caturday morning to
and, under instructions, calmly awaited the fall
of tbe enrtain on tbe Postilion of Jjoniumeau
to execute the same. The energetic Hess, how
ever, got wind of tbe affair and mysteriously
disappeared before the hour appointed, greatly
to tbe chagrin of the deputy. We learn that
Mr. Hess took the accommodation train to East
Liberty, and there, by a preconcerted ar ranee
ment, the Pacific express, which came along
subsequently, stopped ana took tne gentleman
on board, and conveyed him speedily from this
vicinity. What further action will be taken in
tbe matter has not as yet transpired.
