[By Cable.] Paris, Sept. 8,1870.—At midnight on the 7th and, in the early morning .hours of tp-day the city continued calm andtranquil, but it is easy to observe that it is strangely quiet, and that, looking underneath the surface of society, it can be seen that there exists a serious feeling —one of deadly apprehension—in the; public mind. There is no doubt a very general, but at present concealed, desire for peace. Peace on any, terms is regarded by many as prefer able to the alternative of subjecting the capi tal of Prance to the horrors and dangers of a siege; - but everybody is afraid, to talk, and no person will take upon him self ehher . to utter the idea or speak-for the'peace men. No one talks of yielding to the German enemy. M. Jules Favre’s circular is approved of by the people. Its words inspire courage in the minds of those who were hitherto wavering, doubting and undecided in their opinions on the crisis. The very sombre state of the weather increases the. depression; it makes the Parisians melan choly as well as being disappointed and irrita ted. To add to the depression the Uhlans are reported as approaching the city with, rapidity. , What Effect their actual arrival may produce it is difficult to say. It may he, indeed it is likely, to be,one of •defiance, although I entertain the opinion that if the question were honestly decided, according to the exact wishes of the inhabi tants, the vote would he in favor of submis sion and ultimate peace. The great trouble in the city is the want of proper organization for any one particular object, or organization witb any specific intent. There are a number of mongrel bodies of soldiers, but a great scarcity of officers to control them. The sol diers dread the thieves ahd “ roughs.'’ Paris is now fully armed. The hope that the Prussians would not arrive at- the City for ■•ighteen days from to-day has proved to be fifiaeious. it is now held by every one who reads of the uninterrupted march of the- German troops that they will be at the fortifi cations 6f Paris- in the middle of the next ensuing, week; The final approach -of-the Prussians will doubtless he made by way of Vincennes and St. Denis. It is expected that a government noticp will be issued to-morrow I ordering the expulsion of women and children item. the municipality. The exodus of Grangers flying in every direction is iu creas ing hourly: The hotels are empty of foreign visitors.- j , llangry Office-Seekers. ' The members of. the new •Ministry are be -ieged by applicants for office at' every step and at all hours. It reminds me forcibly of -cenes which I have- witnessed round the Uity.-Jlall in -New York after-a municipal election. The hungry outs want to get in. Notwithstanding the condition of the country i buy appear still more anxious to turn all the imperialists from place, so as to provide situ ations and pay for the crowds of hungry re publicans who implore them for,employment. J his feeling is much more prominent than that i f guarding against the approaching enemy. - The “patriotic” newspapers talk wildly and incoherently. One journal proposes to Born Paris, as was Moscow inface of the invasion of Na poleon the First. Another writer recommends mines filled with gunpowder and a general explosion. A third advocates the permitting of the Prussians to come in and then killing them iu tho streets in anvmanne- in which the work can be accomplished. Underneath all this there is perceptible a deep dread of an outbreak of the thieves and criminal classes, and the commencement of a general system of plunder and human slaughter. . This awe is felt just as intensely as that 1 caused bv the ad vance of the Prussians. ■ Parts In tne Dark. Orders have been issued that no gas shall be used in the city, and arrangements are being made for illuminating Paris with the electric light, placed at various central points outside. The city, shops now use tallow can dles and oil lamps, and tbe gasometers have all been sent outside the fortifications. The appearance of Pans without gas, and with females acting as sergents ae ville in the public gardens' and theatres, impresses one lordbly towards a full appreciation of 'the terrible change which has come over not only Paris, but the French nation. The Rue tie Paris is lighted dimly and the'entiro line of the street, stripped or its hitherto glittering gems, presents a most melancholy appearance. Tbe court-yard of the Grand Hotel is com pletely deserted by its visitors. There are a number of soldiers there idling on foot, loung ing on the chairs of the building or lying stretched at full length on tbe doorsteps and platform. These men smoke their tobacco pipes everywhere. Paris to be Defer Ucml to tbe Lost. There were 114,000 troops in Paris this morn i'ii'g,"under command of Gen. Palikaoi The soldiers continue to acknowledge the demo cratic government. The enthusiasm of the troops in this direc tion is stimulated by the fact that the army has gainedsomo slight successes in the field against the Prussians since the fall of Bona parte. The feeling of republican nationality which exists among the people sufiered no abatement during the night. At noon to-day the determination to defend the capital was as ardent as before and increasing in the intensity ot the popular resolution. Minister Washburne Obtains tbe Release of German Prisoners. United States Minister Washtmrne had an unofficial interview with M. Jules Favre on Monday afternoon. The Minister solicited the liberation of the Germans who were held in prison under various charges connected with the war. Jules Favre consented on the part of the French government to their discharge, and hundreds of emancipated Germans took their departure from Paris yesterday. Some hundreds more will go oft towards Germany to-day. They have all been furnished with safe conduct passes signed by the American Minister. Prussian Movements In France. Ostbkd, Sept. B.— Advices from the German army of ’ the Crovra Prince state that "tha : anxiety of King Willintn to get to Paris out runs the judgment of the German command ers. We have information here that there is much discontent in that city with the.present government on the ground of its supposed secret sympathies with the House of Orleans. Thd Count of Flanders has 'earnestly remonstrated with - the Orleans princes against returning to Franco at this time, as it is thought they may he arrested, by the govern m®nt in obedience to the popular' feeling, just now runs very high against princes of all names'and families.

English Opinions of the Republic. London; Sept. B.—The pew Government in France is very favorably viewed by leading members of the English Government, and by ’men of both parties here. The nomination re ported to-day of Louis Blanc as minister to. this court is considered very judicious, as lie 1 is well known and esteemed here by men Of 'very various opinions, and can exert a great, influence upon the socialist, and democratic elements throughout England and the Conti nent.- The sympathies of the Enghsh working classes have quite turned from Germany towards France since the proclamation of the/repnblic. A great meeting of the Lon don workingmen will be held to-morrow to express sympathy wltli France and to con gratulate the new Republic. At oue of the leading political clubs yesterday a well-known public man openly expressed the opinion that if a war with Germany could send the House of Coburg to reioin tbe Bonapartes at Hesse- Cassel it.wonld be worth .ill it might cost, and that France had won already inore tliau she ••ould possibly loose. Ilie Republic in Ireland. In Ireland the; feeling of sympathy with’ France is almost revolutionary, and excites the most serious concetti on the part of the government. - The Republic In. Italy. My advices from Italy continue to be most < xciting and alarming. The Papal authorities are drawing into close connection with the Italian government for the protection of Rome, even at the price of surrendering the city to become the capital of Italy. It is not true'; as reported yesterday, that the .Roman govern ment is making arrests of suspected persons. On the contrary, the administration is more liberal than it has been since 1847. The popur lar sympathy, with France is becoming irre nressiblesince tbe proclamation of the repul i-’ lie, and the governments of Florence and of Rome are forced into acquiescence with it.— World. ' ' THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE. Why tbe Republic was not Recognized —l Sooner.- * The Washington correspondence of the New York Utrald contains the following: I am at liberty to make public now some facts connected withthis important step on the part of the United States government which before would have been deemed im proper by the administration as tending to embarrass the action of Minister "Washburne. The very first day that the news flashed over t he Atlantic cable that the Napoleonic dynasty ..had been overthrown and a republic pro claimed President Grant instructed Secretary Fish to direct Minister Washburne lo recognize the new rcr/irne the moment he found it assume the condition of a . ■ye /w to government. This policy was warmly' approved by Mr. Fish, who lost no time in forwarding the required despatch to Minister Washburne. -Ever since that time an answer from Washburne was expected hourly, and much astonishment was expressed here at .the delay .in receiving it. The Acting Secretary of State anxiously waited last night tor an answer, but-, as stated above, it did not reach here until ihree o'clock- this morning. The explanation is that Mi. Washburne,'finding a yery un certain condition 'of things characterizing ihe iirst bold step towards a republic in France, and not,knowing.tiiitfhat a few.hours. might develop ' another •_ important change, waited judiciously until be found evidence of a Arm, do facto government before commit; ting President Grant and his administration ui the policy of recognition. The announce ment, which was made here, early tiffs niorn ing, gives the highest satisfaction to all classes; Even some of the Germans, who have been hurrahing “ Konig Wilhelm” and “ Vat-Sr land ” so lustily of late, have become Very much'changed. They view the new step by republican France with favor, and mildly ad mit that the war has now assumed a phase wlilch demands no longer an expression of sympathy in favor of Prussia. ' In connection with this recognition of the* French republic lam at liberty to state now that on Wednesday last M. Berthemy, the French Minister, called upon Acting Secre tary Davis and informed him that he had that day received a despatch from M. Jules Favre announcing the change of government in his native country, and insirilCtillg hiui to inform the American government ot the fact. 51. Berthemy then, as if he had received private instructions from 51. Favre to sound the feel ings of our government on the ' subject, in quired of Mr Davis what he thought would be the policy of the President under the changed condition of affairs iu France? Sir. Davis replied that he was not prepared to re / ply to that inquiry on behalf of the United States government. 51. Berthemy, looking se rious, paused a moment after this diplomatic answer of tbe Acting Secretary of State, and then returned to the charge. “What do you tidnk,” said the French diplomat, ‘-‘ is tha feek. ing of the American people?” Mr, Davis suggested that the French slinister could judge of that for himself. This was a point upon which each person Of intel ligence could form a correct opiniou. M. Ber themy, with one of those shrugs which only a Frenchman' can execute, paused again, and then explained that though everybody could lorm an opinion for himself, still he would Ijke the views of slr.Davison the point. slr. Davis again courteously declined answering directly the question, but during the ' course of further conversation expressed tbe opinion that there was a ‘ great ‘“deal of ' difference between the feelings 7«>f— - Americans --towards...-. Napoleon• ... and their feelings towards the French people. Americans had no cause to sympathize with Napoleon’s government. They had no special affection for a ruler who had played the rote assumed by the late Emperor of France during our recent rebellion, and who had attemnted the subjugation of slexico', a neighboring re public. Americans could' not forget that, but at the same time they admired the great French nation, and had a nat ural sympathy for republican institu tions wherever established. This is probably what M. Berthemy desired to hear from 51 r. Davis, though it only came to him in an unofficial form. During the whole conversation 51. Berthemy never stated or hinted that France had requested him to re quest the American Government to recognize the new regime in France, and it is not be lieved here that any such despatch was sent here by M. Favre. SCENES-AT LUXEMBURG. A Cartons Contrast. It seems strange, writes a correspondent at Luxemburg,‘When'there is nothing but war and rumors of war, and literally echoes of war all round, to see men hard at work demolish ing works of defence. Fc>r over two years the •Luxoniburgeois have been at the tnsk, but' now _ they seem to have a feverish burst of energy. There is actually a force of some two hundred men employed—no light proof of the earnestness of this little State, where states men split centimes and look twice at a pfen nig before they spend it. Yet, sifter sill, the workmen look much like maggots, breach ing a mighty Stilton, or like a party of tourists, struggling up the Grand Py ramid ; and if their efforts ever. come to the end of those stupendous stone scarps and counterscarps they will certainly merit the palm of perseverance, and- might point pro verbs and furnish texts for sermons to alltimo. Mountains have been scarped and cased in solid stone and. Ume, walls and towers~ol Babel have been reared and engineered, to withstand modern artillery. There are maga zines for food, water, powder and stores ' generally scattered all about the ravines; iiv reality .vast and massive, hut dwarfed to insignificance bv the towering mass of fortifi cation around them. There are outworks that anywhere else would rank as fortresses of the second class, and detached forts that might each in isolationstand a siege in force; ■ d* really seems a pity to see so much good human work being pulled to pieces; and very bard that tbe doing it sboulube charged on the shoulders of this Unlucky little State. But when tbe Franco-German fight has been fought out they will he Sure I to take abreath,- iDg time, or. what, amounts almost to a cer tainty, in spite Of past treaties and guarantees of-neutrality, -will be relieved of all responsi bility in the matter by one of the combatants. As yet all they have done has been to spoil the continuity of the charming promenade, that lisedto run round the town, and the abstracted stranger walking with eyes riveted on the .opposite heights, may. chance unexpectedly to flhd himself pre cipitated down a hundred feet of cutting. slcantime, the development of, .destruction is exceedingly picturesque. ■ The brown earth t umbles o ver t he face of the artificial rock like Swiss mountain rivulets falling off the preci pices of Lauterbrunnen after a waterspout. It comes in jets or bursts,according as it is tossed from a shovel or shot out of a wheelbarrow, and tbe display of the brown dust is just as graceful, bamne the- effects of color, as the showeriDg spray of the Staubbacb. Occasion ally there comes a dirty avalanche; the roar of it echoes among the deserted casemates, waking painfnl recollections of the days and guns that are gone. A_ few dozen roughly-drilled Luxemburg soldiers are all who remain now to protectithe, vast entiente,' and the commandant and his dog unbend nightly with the ministers of the state at the Cafe Reunion. One barrack is' a straw •hat manufactory, another dwellings for the working classes, a third a hospital' for the wounded from the war; The people are over housed, and yet they seem to have hastened to build on tbe razed fortifications, as if to persuade themselves against hope that they will never again have to stand a siege.” LEDRU ROLUN. Tbe Reported New French Minister. Alexandre Auguste Ledru Kollin, who, ac cording to tbe cable ..despatch of this, morn ing, is to succeed M. Berthemy as Minister of France to this country, was horn in- February, 1808, in Paris, where be studied-law, and was admitted to the bar in 1830, Boon after this, and during the troublous times' which fol lowed the revolution of 18.30, he became pro minent as a political. writer. In'. 1837 he a£ sumed the editorship of a legal journal called the Journal du Palais, and during the. next few years wrote several works on French juris-, prudence. H e practically entered political life in 1811, when ho was elected deputy from the depart ment of Sartlie. While in office he gave utter ance to republican sentiments, for which the government'entered a prosecution sentencing him to four months’ imprisonment and a fine of three thousand francs. In 1845 he issned a socialistic manifesto which attracted; much at tention ; and by his speeches and writings did much to bring about , the revolution of 1848, becoming in time its acknowledged leader. His •influence prevented the regency of the Duchess of Orleans : and induced Lamartine to join tbe revolutionary movement. « Elected by acclamation a member of the provisional government, he was prominent in its affairs—one day admired and tbe next day abused by the populace—until the election-; which resulted in the elevation of Louis Na poleon to the Presidency. Kollin was an op posing candidate-to rtbe-Bonaparte;bnt the latter received over five millions of votes, while Kollin received onlv 370,11 ff. General Cavaignac was also a. candidate for the Presi dency at this time, obtaining 500,000 votes. Kollin was Strongly opposed to the “ expedi tion” by which in 184!) the republican govern ment of France suppressed tbe republican gov ernment of Rome. He moved for the impeach ment of the President and his Caoinet. He next organized an insurrection, which failed, 1 and after hiding several weeks in tbe vicinity of Paris, he escaped to Belgium. Thence go ing to England be directed a solemn protest against the decree summoning him before the High. Cotirt of Justice. His French judges sentenced him to trans portation for life, renewing the decree in 1857, when he was charged with beingimplicatedin a plot against the life of the Emperor, Napo leon 111. Of course, as Kollin was safe in England, this double sentence was never ex ecuted. He has lived for the last eighteen years in London, writing political pamphlets, corresponding with leading revolutionists,like Kossuth, Mazzini and Garibaldi, andawaiting tbe fall of the French empire. When Napo leon HI. lately proclaimed amnesty to politi cal offenders, Kollin, like Victor Hugo,refused to avail himself of the privilege. IHE CAPTIVE EMPEROR’S HOME. SUeteh of Wllhelmshoehe near Cassel. The Castle of Wilhelmshoehe, near Cassel, m the former Electorate of Hessen, is one of t he tinest mansions ■ in' Europe. It was built up about 1788, Dy the'ElectorWilliam’,at a cost of tomteen million of thalers; which he received from England for the thousands and thousands of his subjects that were sent by England to right against her ' then colonies in North America. Elector ' "William died here, but very few of bis successors had the same fate. His " son and heir was driven away from Cassel by Napoleon 1.. who appointed Cassel the capital of the -Westphalian kingdom, whicb. be gave to his younger brother, Jerome Napoleon, lather of the Prince Napoleon and Princess Mathilde. During the reign of King Jerome the Wil helmshoehe saw such shameful orgies going on that they cannot be described. King Je rome of Westphalia is the same known in America in connection with the Patterson affair. When in 1813 the Westphalian king dom crumbled down in consequence of the German uprising, King Jerome was one of the first that reached and crossed the Rhine and made room for the grandson of Elec tor William. This grandson was left in peace until bo died, : but his son was compelled to leave his country m 1848, and once more in 1888. It was in the large round saloon in the middle tower of the Wilhelmshoehe, which will be remembered by many of our readers, that the Prussian General Boeder announced to the Elector that he would be considered as a prisoner of State by Prussia. The present Elector, living actually on one of bis estates in Bohemia, refused to' avail,-himself of the few hours’ respite the . Prussian General bad granted him, and "Was subsequently taken prisoner and conducted to Stettin, which place he soon left to repair to Bohemia, where he possesses largeiestates, iron works, &c.. paving shortly sketched the history of Wil helnishoehe, we now proceed to give a little description of the place itself. It is situated on the top of d hill, commanding a beautiful view of the country all round.' The hill is covered with splendid old trees, which make the forest one or the finest parks in Europe. We can only compare it with the Park of Versailles; with which it has another thing in common, viz., beautiful water-worlcs. The castle is at a distance' of about three miles from Cassel, the former capital of the Electorate. The road from Cassel - to this castle is level, and leads through . magnificent poplar, alleys. Shortly before'arriving at tbe castle these poplars asoend a hill, and from the brow of this hill-Wilhelmshdehe can be seen at a short distance. It la, built up of white sandstone, which makes it look as if it were white mar ble. It consists of a large tower in the mid dle, flanked l on each side by a massive "plain building., The cupola Of the tower, oovered with hi igbt coppev plates, is supported bv two i ranees of Doric columns. Right at the foot •of tne tower a large flight of steps leads di ireefly into the garden, laid out in tho most picturesque -• manner. .This palace has not [been usedsince 1868, as the Prussian govern ment allowed only one old servant to remain ‘tbere and keep everything in order. TERRIBLE CALAMITY A Bridge at Tom’s River, N. J„ Gives Way—Thirty Persona Precipitated Into the Water—Eight Dead Bodies Recovered—Sev eral Persons Still Missing. The quiet village of Tom’s River’, which’ is on the railroad below Long, Branch, was star tled, as it never was, before, yesterday morn ing, by an accident that resulted in the drown ing of at least eight persons. Tom’s River is a viliage of. about twenty-five hundred inhabi tants,'situated upon tbe banks of the river of that name, about six miles from its mouth. It has become of late quite a summer resort, and a large hotel has been built, there. It is also much frequented by the people of the neigh borhood for picnicking purposes. The depot of the Southern New Jersey Railroad is on the opposite side of the river, and is connected with the village by two bridges— one a wagon bridge and the- other a foot bridge, on trestles, about fifteen feet apart, This structure was attached to the depot side of the river by wood or iron pins. It is about sixty feet long, and the water beneath it is at. least ten feet deep. The bridge has been built abont one year, and its safety apparently has never been doubted. Yesterday morning, at 8.30 o’clock, some five hundred men, women and children, connected with the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church,of Long Branch, started on tbe cars for a picnic and clam-bake at Tom’s River. On their arrival at the depot they began to saunter leisurely across the bridge in groups. The Bridge Gives Way. When but few had actually got over, and some sixty were upon the treacherous support, the pins onthe depot side suddenly gave way, and.the whole affair, with its living freight, swung over towards the village. The loosened eDd sank beneath the water, while the other remained fast. If both ends bad given way the slaughter would have been frightful, for— (the inhabitants of the place say for the first time in their knowledge)—there were no boats near. The inclined plane which the floor ot' the bridge made lay at.Buch an angle that about_ half the endangered people were enabled to clamber up on the village side. They scrambled tip on their hands and knees—an indescriba bly confused and terrified mass of humanity some looking out for themselves, Q without much regard to others, some, pushings down. towards the water to rescue the less helpfuL ... Straggling for Life. Meanwhile thirty persons were struggling in the. water, clutching at each other and at, 1 the fragments of the were even under tbe bridge. Those of the multitude who were on the depot side could only stand there in painful helplessness ; those on the other side managed u> save all hat. eight persons,, as far as known, though it was suspected that X , . Some/were Missing from tbe part j v>tvho came from Eatonviile, a town a mile atiil a half from Lonq Rraneh- This surmise arose from tbe fact that in the . confusion of the return homeward some one noticed Eatonviile people weeping, and heard one sav: “ Oh, if we but knew where they wtre.” Eight Dead Bodies Recovered. Only eight dead bodies were recovered,how ever, and these were all from Long Branch. When it was observed that some of the unfor tunates were under tbe beams of the bridge,the people on the village side cut it away with such tools as could be procured, and let it drop in the water. Descending upon it then, they pulled out witb oyster-dredges both living and dead lying beneath it. Acts of Heroism. As is usual in such cases, there were strik ing instances of heroism. Peter Howlaud, a carpenter, had already saved his nephew, a hoy of 11, named Wortbly, when he saw Miss E. Styles struggling in the water. At once, blind to all other sights, heedless of the almost certain death from desperate clutching hands that awaited him if be plunged amid that mass of frantic humanity, he dashed into the water. The sight of her there, gasping for breath, was unendurable ; for she was his heart’s delight—she wore his ring upon her hand—he had been but yesterday looking at her wed ding garment, in which she was so, soon to stand up proudly by his side. “ They were beautiful in their lives,- and in death -not'' di vided;” for he had seized and was bearing her safely to the shore, when Mrs. Sidney Throck morton, in her despairing agony, seized him by the arm, and so hampered him that all three sank together, although he was an excel lent swimmer. Their bodies were subse quently recovered. lU* Work of Resnscttatton. Probably not more than a quarter of those who fell into the water were. men; the rest were women, boys, and girls. Many of those who were rescued bad to be rubbed and treated iu the ways usually adopted in cases of drown ing before they recovered their breath. One girl of fourteen, who was raked up,from the • bottom of the river, was consldered quite dead,- hut careful treatment finally resuscitated her. Fortunately there were two physicians in the party, and others in the village hastened to the scene of the disaster. Indeed, it may be said the whole village was there," each lending a helping hand.
