Wednesday, September 7,1870. XHE PROiIBIONAI. HOTEBNUENT OF FRANCE. One of the first consequences of the over crow of Napoleon and the establishment of a Provisional government in France, is the in stant expression, hy liberal people all over the world, of sympathy with France. WhenPrus ■ sia warred upon Bonapartism , and the despot ism with which it cursed the French nation, every lover of liberty ardently desired her tri-. umph. Now' that the empire has been broken to fragments, we may still give to Prussia our warm admiration and sincere congratulations) butwemayaskher, inthe name of humanity, not to bring further humiliationupon the brave nation which is hot responsible for this war, which has repudiated the common enemy, Napoleon, and which has .asked for an honora ble peace. Prussia has a lawful right to make her own terms, we admit, for she was threat ened and assailed, and if she had been beaten, the policy of France would have been to ■ treat her harshly. But" ' she «an afford to be' generous now, - and, responding to the sentiment of the world, to give to France not only deliverance from des- potismj-but- that honorable peace -which so valiant-an adversary deserves. It-is certain that Prussia will alienate many of those who have given to her their enthusiastic admira. tion, if she rudely rejects the proffer of peace and compels France to continue the war, through much slaughter, to a disgraceful and disastrous conclusion. It is reported that Bis marck has declared his willingness to withdraw from France upon the conditions that the for tifications of Strasbourg and Metz shall be de stroyed and the armies of France disbanded. If this is true, Prussia will deserve credit for such magnanimity as accords with her bravery and greatness. The new government cannot Tetain the-good-will of the world-if it -refuses .such terms as these, and provokes Prussia to continuance of the war. We must admit, however, that the report which declares Prussia to have offered such simple conditions is at least open to suspicion of untruthfulness. - We can. hardly reconcile ourselves to the belief that Count Bismarck and King William will be.willing contributors to the erection of a purely popular government in France. The successful trial of the republi can experiment would be a perpetual threat oven to powerful Prussia, particularly at a time when the spirit of liberty is actively pre sent everywhere in Europe—when Spain seems almost compelled to accept republicanism when there are suspicious and ominous repub. lican movements in Italy, and when England is pjacing all political power in the hands of of the people. We can only hope that Prussia has really determined to rest content with hei present triumph, and, recognizing the Pro visional government, to treat with it fairly and generously. As the character of that government develops itself, it becomes better worthy of our sym pathy and respect. It is evident that such tur bulent demagogues as Rochefort, are not, as we at first apprehended, to control its adminis tration. The wiser men, such as Jules Favre, Liamier-Pagee, Jules Ferry, Pierre Magne, M. Arago—some of the best and purest and ablest ©f the tried Republicans of France, aie to con duct the government, and so far, it must bi admitted, they have acted with discretion and carefulness, and yet with vigorous determiua rion to protect the nation, if perchance it should be compelled to act further in its de fence. We believe this government to be worthy of our confidence, at least as long as such a man as Favre is at its head. Wc cannot regard its efforts to build up a strong i government upon the ruins of the empire, to preserve law and order, and to organize defence in the supreme hour of peril withoui the warmest wishes for its success. Of course it iB lolly to calf such a government republi can. It is as much a personal government as Napoleon’s was; and these men simply usurped the power. But they may plead ab solute necessity, and the cordial approval of their action by nearly the whole of the French people. We have such faith in the patriotism of the leaders of tlie move ment that we do not fear repetition of the mistakes and crimes which gave Napoleon First and Napoleon Third opportunity to build up empires. If peace is declared, through in tervention of a Congress, as Russia proposes or by the voluntary act of Prussia, M. Favrt will, we are assured, strive to organize a truly republican government in France, founded upon universal suffrage and controlled by a popular legislature. This will be done if the European powers do not interfere to prevent it,a contingency which we have reason to fear and which, if realized, will probably result in the elevation of another Bourbon to the throne of France. Against such action our government ought to protest; and as it has been appealed to by M. Favre, it has an occasion to make its voice heard in the matter. There is an opportunity now for es tablishing popular government in France which may never come again, and it will be our duty to use our influence to the accomplishment of such a desirable result. The present ministry ha? ibe support and confidence,and it Will.have the assistance, of such true and brave and patriotic Frenchmen as Victor H ugo, Louis Blanc and all the host of exiles who were feared and bated and banished by Napoleon, and who are “ liow' hnrryinghack once-more-to their country as the figures which were created by the des pot are flying in swarms from the ruin which overwhelmed their master. We shall know in a day ortwo whether these Republican French men are to accomplish their desires, or whether another combination of Europeau Kings is to another Bourbon upon'France. ...... : " ITALY AJf» K*ME. .==» T.

Tricolored sashes, says the Queen (a IjOndon periodical), are worn in Paris as a matter of course; they are not Been in the street, but frequently in carriages, with black costumes, ana almost universally at the theatres and small evening gatherings, as accompaniments to white dresses ; but black, we are.informed, is more generally'worn at this sad period than anything else'. Those who have not lost rela - tivea iii the'war,“but'simply wear black as a mark; of respect for their friends who have been less fortunate, do not adopt the deepest mourning, but, as a rule, put on black China , crepe dresses, anil this material is invariably, worn over a black silk petticoat, . trimmed with three deep flounces.

The Aspects of the War. Despatch to the Fhlla. ETenlnr llolletln l ■ Washington - . Sept. 7.—The French Minis ter has heard nothing from Paris since the surrender of the Emperor. The business of this legation is entirely suspended. Nothing is known of the reported changes of the lead-. iDg foreign representatives of France. The Prussian legation has only a formal an nouncement of the late victories. The im pression is that, aside from the troops in the various fortresses along the frontier, including Strasbourg and the forces with Bazaine, the French have less than fifty thousand veteran soldiers at command for the defence of Paris. Though little positive information has been received in diplomatic circles, the belief is strong that the Prussians will march directly upon Paris, without regard to the changes in the government there.

Herald of to-day.J Tuesday, Sept. 6.—The gold market within the past two months has witnessed the consummation of a grand tlood and a returning grand ebbtide. The upward cur rt nt carried the price from 114 to 123 f«. The reflux—the reaction bo confidently looked for—brought tlio price back to 113J*. The lu*t figure marked the point at which pface was regarded as the certain immediate conso queucc of the surrender of Sedan. The speculators have done as did King William. They have cone'to a certaiu point and now thov pause. The future is not 1 so clear as it was even a week or two ago, for then, with the victorious march of the Prussian armies, peace'was more reasonably as sured than it is now. Hence Wall street is feverish and unsettled. Europe, too, is unable to read the riddle, quotations to-day irom her leading capitals show a sharp decline. Thero was a better feeding at the close, it is true, but the advance • was rather a reaction than an improvement. The, reflection of ’ this -unsettled •- feeling — the~. "wid°' and sharp fluctuation in the Gold Room. In the forenoon the market was very strong on the expectation that the proclamation of the French repub lic would involve Europe In a general war, and as our bonds in London come Ua per cent, lower, there was a (•ufiden rush to buy, under which gold ran up to 116? a. Next came tbo announcement that Jules Favre, Presi dent ofthe Provisional Counoil, bad offered to make Eiiice with Prussia, and gold fell to 114>a. The old fear, owevt r, reasserted itself, and gold ran back to 116. But here it was further reported that Jules Favre had set out from Paris to meet King William and have a conference with him with a view to secure terms of peace,and as our bonds in London,as well as the general market there, suddenly improved, gold fell te H4>q. Interme diately the movemout baa been in part aflected by the terms in the loan market, wherein the *» bulls ” and ,l hears ” did a great deal of partisan bluftiing,tho latter marklngtho carrying rate up to six per cent., which was responded to by the bulb,who made goldacarce, and marked it a sixty-fourth for borrowing. Further more the balances at the Clearing House wore mani pulated, and the items drawn down inamanner intended to iutiinidate the “ bears, n but as the course of events \ directed the latter eventually prevailed. The banks and capitalists reported a better demand for money, but no loans ou call wore recorded at a higher rate than six per cent., although instances werere ported at seven, but could not be. definitely traced, ami, il of real occurrence, were purely exceptional. The government dealers were sopplledatflve per- cent., bat some outside borrowers on pledge of government colla terals had to pay six. In discount* there wsb no change, and quotations were BtUl wide. Foreign exchange was strong and fairly active on the basis of )09%a109?4 for., primo bankers’ sixty-day, and ' for sight sterling bills. The sndden of thO.London quotations ahswing > a declino ofbetween one and two per cent, as compared 1 with Monday’s prices, and of which tbe street had boon deprived meantime by the prostration of the tologriipli wires, ltd to a decline of a qunrter to a half per cent, in . the Quotations here, tho emaller fall, as compared with . ..London, being duo to the' really .firm . under tono of the ' beme'pmrket, iu'viow of the largo Tcductiou of tbo na tiopal debt, and the proepoctivo largo purchases of the : Treasury .this month, and in the interval to midwinter.
