Referring to the United States.the General says: "One of Wash ington's great lamiiy barely permits the Republic to fling a word of sympathy to the brave descend ant's of Lafayette those who first proclaimed the emancipation of the races. Classical land of liberty, home or tne extie, wilt tnou abandon in this struggle of giants thy sister nation, who marched, and will march again at the van of hu man progress? Heroic struggles."

"France is in ruins because bur army of braves waa led by tyrants, out tne nation is nere. it nas risen i8 one man, and will make the old autocrat of Prussia repent bis inhuman butchery."

The correspondent of the World, the first civilian allowed to enter Metz after the capitulation, found two Americans who had been in Metz during tbe whole of tbe siege Charles M. Eustice, of Boston, and Doctor Boylans, of New Haven. The latter belonged to the American Ambulance corps. The citizens universally condemn the capitulation and the conduct of tbe defence. There was positively no starvation and very little suffering. The city was full of all descriptions of provisions and prices were moderate. Tbe conduct of tbe French army since the capitu lation baa been most exemplary. Although the whole army was paid off all arrears and six weeks advance, there has been very little drunkenness and no uproar. The Prussian offioers express sur prise at the cleverness, cleanliness and celerity of the French in making camps, cooking and making all comfortable. Tbe forts in and around Metz were amply provisioned until March next. The post office was opened on October 30 under orders of Herr Stephen, Director General of the North German postal service.

Nono shall leave the place in anticipation of a struggle, save women and chil dren, and old men. All others who escape, or seek to escape, shall be considered as Infamous and dealt with as traitors. Tbe Journals of Tours declare that the moro facts In regard to the surrender of Metz become known, the more it Is evident that Kazalne's course was treasonable. Much stress is laid upon the manner in which the officers and men wero deceived in re gard to tho condition of France. The fact tha 40, 1)00,000 francs and enormous quantities of munition were delivered to the enemy Is also dwelt upon as evidence of treason. Dispatches from La Fleche, dated yesterday, says a balloon passing over the town, dropped a copy of the Paris Journal Oficiel of tbe 3lst ult., containing tbe following intelligence: "The government had issued a decree declaring that the children of ail citizens killed in the war will bo adopted by the nation.

Favie, Gamier Pages, Simon, Ge neral Tamis'er and the commander of the lOUth reninient were still held prisoners. It was not unul three o'clock in tbe morning that these lamentable acts were repressed by the Interference of some battalions of the National Guard, who r.n un hi grt at numbers and took position around the Hote, de Ville, beaded by Ferry. The cdurt-janls were cccnplc-d bv Mobiles whilst small detachments of tlio National Guard and carbineers were clearing the halls of the mob. At tho same lime the National U J arts ocjii pying the square, quasand Rue lio Rivoll, Hhoitt"! enthusiastic greotinzs in favor of Troclm as ho in sped in front ol tho troops. The report on tho day's event conclude? as follows: . "With the armitii;e tendered and aocopto.l, other advantages which Paris cau easily condi tio without any necessity of presenting them here; and now the government of the national defence U up. broided with its acquiescence as having boon weak.

The conditions of tbe proposed armi-ticj are the following: Its duration will be twenty-live d ivs. The inhabitants will have liberty tolrtTi in t'ooXtJttrin this interval. Free eUcltons will be held in all the department. The Paris government, owing to the events th it took place lately, resolved to consult, tho people of Paris as to the maintenance of the authority th-it w as conferred upon it. Tho vofe was to tnko pU.'o to-day. It is not known bore yet who1 her the armistice bus been concluded.

He bad previously addressed a dispute i trout Lyons to tbe municipality of Marseilles uunounu lug that he would arrive there yesterdiy, and de claring that he came with one thought to save the nation, to save the Republic, and would assist the authorities In that great task. At live o'el ck in the evening a du pateh reached Tours, stating that he had been shot.

I'ermit no longer violence and crima." I o ai. Gent, the Alnnster addressed a nimiVh. saying: "I am horror-struck bv the thought that one to whom the republic owes se much can be thus basely attacked. 1 am sure ail good p opla uiudt condemn the crime.
