HaeMahon’n ;«B«np**p>- ''! ,
Pams, Friday, Scjfc. 3, JLong jb|fore
thews lines reach you] I suspect yoh will heir of
another, and 6( f
the French arms.’ I '-This 1 ' blind confidence'at
cnee of people here,' and the ignorance in
which they are kept, seem' to be only equaled
by the fatuity and incapacity of those in whom
they have trusted. In my dast letter: Iflould
not ■write'Otiierwise than hopefully .of the plan -
of campaign which then seemed to have been
adopted by MacMahon ■; nor could I but
believe that his tactics might once more make
him known to history as one of those men 6f
whom it should be said hereafter that cunj
iando nmpublicatn restitxdt. i To the eye even
of a civilian, under existing circumstances, tlie
only sound course for MacMahon seemed to be
that which he was bent upon pursuing, viz: tp
save time; to avoid to the utmost a general en*.
gagement, for the present ; and for that pur
pose, to retreat, and above'all, to, retreat to the
'Northwest, nstead of which, what do w e
hear this morning ? Why that MacMahon and
his army have gone Northeast \ And in a
vain, or rather made attempt to get at Bazaine
(between whom and them two armies block
up the way I), by going round by a “ northern”
ronte, have themselves been hemmed in be
tween the Prussians and the Belgian frontier.
One is half tempted to exclaim : “Ho 1 treach
ery- thered-’’—• or . JCEreason! .seek-iL.-oaU..
And there are people who ask in
a low tone Whether MacMahon is 'not' so sick
of the whole affair, and of the interference to
Which be is Said to be subjected, that he desires
no better than to be driven into a neutral
'territoryand to be compelled to lay down liis
'aims. -Without a miracle, almost; there seems
■now to be scarcely any other result possible..
' Only~yestefOayr'a'Trench civilian; who has
studied the French campaign of Napoleon 1.,
in 1810, almost as deeply as M. Thiers him
self, remarked to me that if MacMahon al
lowed himself to bang vainly upon the
skirts of Bazaine, he was lost. And then
be pointed out to me the splendid aud al
most impregnable country, in a military
point of view, which lay open for his
retreat and occupation on the northwest. Any
one, for instance, who has ever visited Laon,
must have recognized at a glance its unassaila
ble situation; while behind is a wide extent
of country, all the way to the sea, completely
unexhausted and free . from the enemy, and
with communications open “With Paris and all
Western and Southern France by means of the
weßtem and northern lines of railway. To
throw away all these advantages and opportu
nities for retreat, for delay, for drawing away
- the enemy from his base of operations, in order
to get himself cooped up in an angle of the
Belgian privateer, and- there be obliged to fight
or cross tlie heated border. All this is indeed
a depth of strategy quite incomprehensible to
an unmilitary understanding.
: finesses at the Fntnre.
If things turn out as anticipated, you will
ask. what will be the consequences here? ' It
makes one_rather nervous to answer the ques
tion, or even think of it. My general reply is
that 1 cannot tell; and I should think few here
would he bold enough to give any other
just now. But there are some results,
-Which ..cannot, perhaps, be doubtful.
And one of Them, I say, be
the outbreak of some terrible exasperation. It
is impossible to predict exactly against whom
it might be directed. Perhaps against every
body,—against the government, ministers,
dynasty, foreign residents, —everybody. There
, seems to me to be at this momenta sort of
- dangerous lull in Paris, which only requites
some startling and exciting cause to prove it to
be that which precedes a storm. The prepa
rations for defenee—were going on hopefully,
almost cheerfully, a few days ago, aud would
probably have maintained that character
had success gleamed upon liberating
armies in the field. But if
the latter are to succomb wholly, the defence
of Paris will assume a sombre and desperate
character, if persevered in at all, which may
burst into aflame fatal to all.who come within
its verge. These are gloomy times. Some
people seem to think Paris is “ gay” because
it looks “ animated.” But it is the animation
of fear, and a very fierce fear, too. The popu
lation is rising to a pitch of irascibility which
mayatany momeDt -burst out into frenzy.
Especially, they can no longer bear that
strangers of any nationality should be here
looking on at their humiliation. I believe
a man’s life would not he safe who should
laugh too loud on the Boulevard. The by
standers would be sure to think that be was
laughing at France aud her misfortunes. The
feelings of the people, in short, are growing
morbid, and even, dangerous, both to them
selves and others.
Domestic and Social Discomfort.
How shall I describe to you all the details of
domestic and social discomfort which are ag
gravating the above feelings? Almost every
article of household consumption is already
doubling and trebling in price. The French
are both very subject to panic, aud at all times
great hoarders, aud now no family thinksit can
lay in enough for its own wants. Then again
ipndreds of the better classes are running
away, which exasperates the lower and labor
ing classes to see themselves, as they think,
deserted j and, pu the other hand, thousands of
poor suburban dwellers, peasants, market
gardiners, dairy-men, and others, who live
around the city and furnish its supplies, are
pressing in for protection against the invaders,
and this again exasperates to see so many
more bouches inutiles coming in to be fed. I
can assure-you that Paris is anything but an
“ amusing ” place to be in, except to those who
can alwayß find amusement in what they call;
‘(excitement,” or still worse, in viewing some!
df Ihe'worst feelings of human nature in a state 7

The authorities themselves seem to me to
Tae in a Btatc which resembles' flutter, a good

•.Denveh, Col., Sept. 4.—The occasion that
developed this excursion was the formal open

The excursion proper started from St. Louis,
Missouri, on Tuesday, August 80. A special
car,however, had been placed at the disposal
oftbe Eastern gentlemen, who left New York
and Philadelphia on Saturday, August 27.
The excursion train as it started from St.
Louis was one of the most complete ever put
together in this country, comprising some of
Pullman’s iinest coaches, and embracing every
thing froima kitchen to a'grand drawing-room.
The appointments were in every respect
most perfect, tire passenger being at liberty
to select bis “ commissaries,” from a cigar
through the long list of fine liquors to as
sumptuous a dinner us is usually served in a
hotel. Attentive waiters were in attendance
to obey the wants of all, and such luxuries as
the most fastidious could desire, were present
on every hand. The traiu consisted of the
“ Hannibal” drawing loom car, the “Wayne”
and “ Dexter,” two double dining room cars,
three commissary cars, the “ Gem,” “ Ruby”
and “ St. Janies,” and two open sleeping-cars,
the “ Ogden” and “ Cheyenne.” The entire
train, finished and ornamented in the hichest
style of art, aud well calculated to make
travelling easy.
This magnificent train, hauled by the en
gine “ Jno. D. Perry,” left St. Louis at 7.30
o’clock P. M. ou Tuesday, August 80th. We
reached Kansas City, the western terminus of
tho Missouri Pacific Railroad, about 11 A. M.
on Wednesday. Here we were received by
Mayor McGill and a delegation of citizens,
headed by a' brass band, who captured our:
party, aud placing us in carriages, we were
driven to the St. James Hotel, where we were
served with an elegaut breakfast, after which
, w e were ngain escorted ; to our ■ train, which
staffed for Leavenworth City, the largest and
one of the most prosperous and-beautiful cities
Yn Kansas. , Here we were also cordially wel
comed by the citizens, who had brought their
carriages to drive ub to Fort Leavenworth.
After a ,hasty inspection of the fort and
a drive around foe city of Leaven
worth we re'enrned to our train;
and started , for Lawrence, which place we
.reached''dnyimg; the night. When we awoke
in the m.bfulng we beheld a long train of ,car
riages cording toward us, when it was ascer
tained that the good citizens of Lawrence, not -
to bo ontdohe by their Leavenworth neigh
bors, had resolved to show. ua tkeir town,
PHILADELPHIA SEPTEMBER 15, 1870
l which they, succeeded in doing in finestyle*
l-'After driving about the town a short time ana-'
vaewingfhe surrouhding'codhtry from the top?)
lof the hills in the vicinity, we were escorted; to ,
a large, hall, where a most beautiful sight .met
our eyes and fairly made ourmouths viator,-
Long rows of tables were’lokded wlth some of
the'finest fruit ever seenjfjall the product of ',
Kansas. Melons, grapes 1 Of', every variety,;
peaches, pears, apples, of ihe finest<
quality were placed temptingly,before us.‘ Tile
tables were presided over by young ladies of
the town, who with their fair hands loaded our
plates with the tempting fruit;. After eating all.
we could, and were on the. eve, of . crying 'be
cause we couldn’t hold any more', Mayor.G-ros-;.
venor kindly informed us that he would have
what was left of the fruit bpxod up and sent
aboard Our traiiii We tlipn'left'the hall for the
ti'ain, ■ with three, .'/ cheers for the
town ‘of Lawrenco, ' /and . .three more
for the :ladies therein,;!which,;were given
with a vim by our entire party., ,At 10 o’clock :
we sat down to breakfast in Pullman’s liotel
car, and the train moved off, the band playing
us a parting salute. •. 1 . ;J . '
' At Topeka the train halted an liour to enable
the party to accept or the hospitalities of the
capital of Kansas. The Mayor,. City Couucil
and citizens, en masse,- welcomed the excur
sionists at the depot and escorted us to the State
Capitol building, where We were welcomed by
Governor Harvey and State officers of Kansa?.
The Governor then joined our party and re
mained with us until wo reached Manhattan,
when he was parted "with most reluctantly by
many old friends.
Junction City; Abilene," Solomon' City and
Salina were successively passed in - the day
light of Thursday, and rivaled , all the Eastern
Kansas towns in ovations to' the train and Us
charmed excursionists.
Upon this memorable trip there were those
'•■wiiOja-fevr'mQ'HSimTWßreiff'old'Englaiul,
the Alleghany ranges and valleys of the Ohio
and the Mississippi. • There were railroad kings
and opulent manufacturers, also ' brethren of
the press of European and-, American nation
ality, and the universal theme was the won
derful increase of population. The unexpected
and surprising breadth of -acres under cultiva
tion in the Kansas valley.'i The stock business
is in a highly flourishing condition there, aud
all thellate settlers__who. are recording.the._.ex
periences of the first year in a new country and
home are satisfied to an encouraging degree.
After leaving Topeka, our party was fur
nished with ■ rifles and ammunition* as it was
expected that when .we reached the plains we
would find some big game in the shape of
buffaloes and antelopes. In this, 1 however, we
were mistaken, as the buffalo were scarce and
very shy, offering but an occasional shot, and
that at very long range. But we were bound
to shoot at something and get rid of our ammu
nition ; we therefore directed our attention to
the numerous prairie dogs whose villages lie
close to tho track. But few of the canines,
however, suffered, and to ali appearances they
were as much amused as we were, as was
shown by the frisky wag of their Tails as they
dived into their holes whenever.a ball came
whistling too near them.
About noon, on Friday morning, Hays City
was reached, and the gallant General Custer,
with a magnificent band and ’ a battalion of
his invincible cavalry, received our party with
that enthusiasm and whole-souled heartedness
which is an honor to the American army.
Here,too, was a pleasurable change. By some
theory, wise or unwise, this grand railway
line was opened without the ebarin of .female
society as far as Hays. There that monotony
was broken; for where there are brave men
there are always lovely women.-. The army
officer on the plains wiii not forever be ban
ished from home faces. And with the soldier
came his w ife and sister, and-it—was a rich
charm to the society of General Custer that lie
was accompanied on the palace train to Den
ver by his accomplished aud estimable wife.
Other ladies and their soldier lords dined with
us and returned to Hays from Buffalo Sta
tion. True to its name, this station furnished
the commissary department with choice cuts of
-the-American bison. ■ "
The train passed the night at Kit Carson.
This is the last town built up by the National
Land Company, aud was the late terminus of
the railway. Large warehouses have been
built here, and the town is growing very
rapidly.
At lviowa Station two open platform cars
were added to the train and placed in front of
the engine, and occupied by the excursionists,
who, through the thoughtfulness of Gen.
Palmer, enjoyed a treat which convinced any
doubting the assertion that Colorado is the
“Switzerland of America.” Under a clear
sky—over non rails of American manufacture
—a track well laid, and in a Pullman palace
train, superior to any which has ever traversed
any railway on this continent, the excursion
ists were ushered into the great presence of
our grand old Rocky Mountains at a sunset
which will be remembered with pleasurable
emotions as long as the hearts which enjoyed
it heat, or the record Of the opening ceremo
nials of this magnificent ro&d may find a place
in American railway annals.
It was dark when we reached Denver, on
Saturday. We were received at the depot by
the Mayor, City Council and Board of Trade.
The lateness of the hour prevented
making. They were however only postponed
for a time, of which more anon. What we did
in Denver, and our trip farther west, will have
to be reserved for another chapter.
HACHiHON’B ARJiy.
German Account of the Ketrent and
Flight 61'the Marshal.
A correspondent Vienna 1 Vehr Zei
limg gives, in a copy of that paper to hand by
the European mail, some most graphic pictures
of the flight of JMacMahon’s army, lie writes
as follows : !
I could now (August 0, half-past two P. M.)'
stay in Hagnenau no longer. Despite the warn-;
ings of my host, I turned out of the northern ‘
gate and took the direction of the liaguenau! 1
forest toward Niederbronn. The roar of can
non was loud. Columns of smoke rose in the '
northwest, and even in the direction of Saar-; ■
burg. I judged the light to be near Nieder
bronn, and did not err.
gglAt four o’clock in galloped a horse with
empty saddle slipping under its belly, through
the town gates. Directly after a second, then
a third; then followed a cuirassier, his horse'
covered with blood and foam, without cuirass,
without arms. Next an artillerist, on an un-‘
saddled horse, his face distorted with inex
pressible fright. Some minutes later a mob of
some twenty horsemen hurried past, among,
whom two zouaves clinging upon one horse
j were conspicuous ; the others were cuirassiers'
in every stage of fright and terror, some swing
ing wildly their sabres ; others, its if out of
■ their wits, flogging their- -poor exhausted;
horses, several without saddles, most of them
without arms. One cuirassier halted his horse
just before me, loosened his cuirass, threw off
his helmet, next his heavy sword, lastly his |
weighty breastplate, and then, laughing, con
tontedly, rode leisurely out A pause of some
live minutes followed. ■ The townsmen had all
fled inside the gates: - • - y '
.. The field-watch and 1 stood alone (d the
point where the Niederbronn branch; railway!
intersects the high road. Presently, up gallops
a field gendarme, halts his half-head horse,and
calls out, “ Shut the gates instantly; the Prus
sians are at my heels.” The field-watch tumefi|
White. I exclaimed, “ What madness. Hage
nau is an open town. There could be no de
fence, and if the Prussians really were; There
the best thing for the town was to open the
gates as wide as, possible.” His face bright
ened Up. The tumult became greater. Among
a crowd of cuirassiers some lancers were mixed
i, tip j'-^hen-came "busskr uniforms. The roids
' ■ are thronged; unmounted horses gallop past
as dtiveh on by panic; on all Bides are swarms
.ti-artUleiyinenin shirt sleeves, many of their.,
horses withtho traces cut, ridden by infantry-./
xnen or artillery. So far I have not remarked
"one officer As (he mob was thickest a railway
train came screaming along from the north.
'At the moment a number of peasant girls
[ iwhvveyances«ntahgled in the throtlg y 'i
LwereCloseupohthe rails. They cannot ifiovo
forward or Toackwards; they seem lost. Thd
Held watch- and myself, seizing the barrier,

"bronnl;. it, ought., to -have.-transported - the.
wounded; it was entirely devoted to’ flight-
They were the first infantry-soldiers, who.

on the roofs hanging on by the handles, with
-half their bodies„in the air, on. the, gangway
board, some fully accoutred!'- sobie half naked,
ub wounded / So flashed past us' this novel
picture of distinction crossing the current of
misfortune in the high road. We let the Bar
rier balk drop, and sprung aside.. Like a wild
hunt the horsemen galloped. Into the town
and clattered through it without drawiug
bridle. ■,' • ••-. ; ,-- i
By five o’clock the torrent gradually ceased.
After a pause came the conveyances. I saw
four or five carriages all complbtely harnessed,
yet without their guns. Then jolted aud
rattled past a broken ammunition wagon
crammed with Turcos; next a peasant’s wagon
filled with bedding and household gear, but no
owner; a Zouave led the horses, two frightfully
wounded Turcos Iky’ on the top, a cluster of
unarmed soldiers of all arms clung round it.
Now followed infantry on foot. ;
It. was about half-past.five; still no officers.
In dense swarnis; the,:,cjiancery care, the car
riages of three general brigades, the archives of
a division, four or five empty ammunition
trucks; every .kind of ambulance wagon, all
packed with uninjured soldiers. ,On one car
lay three corpses, a few pitifully-draggled
Turcos followed in the crowd in dumb'resigna
tioh. Then came a lot of sutlers and camp
followers. The infantry had ail flung away
thrir packs, many their guns, some were in their
shirt sleeves, most of them had loaves stuck on
tlieirswords and swung on their shoulders. By
far thegreater part werethose ricu.-r soldats for
wjiose -valor .Oenoral Trocliu . has <so lately
vouched. -;! shall .not .sootLforget a jpoor per
spiriDg infantry soldier of the Fiftieth, smartly
accoutred, with knapsack on his-back, with
broad, red face, who came up to me and
anxiously asked where his regiment was. I
told him to go light on to Strasbourg, and per
haps he would find it there. .'.He" marched
bravely along as I bad directed him. He was
an Alsatian. About half-past six an orderly
troop of cuirassiers, -under command -of -a
captain and two subalterns, about forty men
strong, rode past. They were almost all proper
ly accoutred and kept step. Between tour and
seven o’clock a disorderly rabble hurried by,
absorbed in themselves and. their miserable
existence. In the whole body not more than
forty in marching order; altogether-some 8,000
to 10,000 men; very few wounded, some three
or four cavalry officers, two artillery, hnd about
eight infantry officers in, the entire swarm ;
such-a rout as neither 1859 or 1866 ever
witnessed.' ; r
But back I must go to Haguenau. It was
seven o’clock; the stream of fugitives was less
swollen. As in the fading twilight I hastened
towards the town to learn if any trains were
going, I came across five or six soldiers of
various arms leading in their midst one Prus
sian prisoner, as proud as if they-bad got with
them the entire Prussian army. . The poor
man Was trembling. In such a debacle to
parade one prisoner. ■ 1 .
The public houses were a scene of anima
tiorir Soldiers w'ere busy eating and 1 drinking,
and what surprised me they quietly paid their
shot- In an upper room four infantry officers
drank their wine in silence. Five cuirassiers
sat before a roast goose cracking mad jokes.
' Early next morning at seven o’clock 1 was
: lucky enough to reach Strasbourg in a wagon.

The established character oS this Hno, running as it

These bonds hare SO years to run, are convertible at
tbe option of the holder Into the stock of the Company
at par, and thopayment of the principal is provided for
by a sinking fund. The convertibility privilege at

THE ECBOPE&N WAB.
London, Sept. 14. —(Special to the New
York HeraM.]—Our Paris correspondent tele
graphs that last night ho had' an' interview with
Ernest Picard, the Minister- of Finance, who
said that the government for defence, which he
as an humble member deplored as a horrible
necessity, had"the task of carrying on a war
that the EmperoF had 1 provoked,; and from
which the Republic would gladly escape.
Neither France nor the government to-day had
aught against Prussia or Germany, and yet
was foiccd to light both without cause of
quarrel even,and without hopes of escape from,
oue of the most cruel trials that Providence
had ever visited upon any people. That this
government earnestly desired to withdraw from
this frightful war, and turned its eyes on every
side for some friendly mediation.
It touched bis heart to hear that the Ameri
can government had made a Qhristian effort to
stay this wicked waste of life, but he regarded
with wonder and horror the fact that Prussia
turned a deaf ear to all representations regard
ing the irresponsibilityof the Republic for the
war. He knew not why Prussia sought to war
on the young Republic, so guiltless of offence
against that government, and added that words
would be feeble to conceal the inability of the
government, now scarcely a week old, to con
tend, with any chance ; of success, w ith so vast
a force engaged against France.
The Empire left her without an army, arms,
or money; the capital was soon to be sur
rounded by hundreds of thousands of highly
trained men, and with only its citizens to pro
tect it. Would it, said he, add to the glory of
Prussia to fight against these citizen soldiers,
most of whom never-had a musket in their
hands till a week ago, and who were by their
manhood compelled to stand on the defensive?
If Prussia kept the field gild bid France , come
forth and fight her* though utterly unprepared
for such a fearful • struggle, that wouid have
something manly about it, bnt'to set her armies
on a city crowded with womenand' i children,
and only protected by their half-armed hus
bands and fathers, would be cowardly.
If that was considered.fair, humane.conduct
by • tlie Kinertben • Paris has only to submit to
her fate, arid perish, calling on Ileaven to wit
ness that they .had not provoked their martyr
dom. It was not an exaggerated notion of
honor that drove the Citizens out of Paris to
make an effort for defence against such fear
ful odds, but simply in order to retain a hold
upon the sympathy'arid respect ‘of the world
by falling manfully at the threshold of their
homes that they could not save from outrage
and desolation. ,
Pams, Sept. 13, Evening.—[Special despatch
to the New York Tribune.] —Oue of the secre
taries of the British embassy has started for the
Prussian headquarters to ask whether negotia
tions are possible. ,
t A correspondent, writing from Rheims, Sept.
0, describes a conversation with Bismarck,who
began by expressing high regard for General
Sheridan,and gratitude to- the United States for
their sympathy with Germany. -
To a remark concerning German unity Bis
marck replied that there was no stronger friend
of unity than himself, but care was required in
accomplishing the work. “South Germany
having fought by our side her wishes must be
considered and her inclinations cannot now be
compelled. We must, obtain the consent of
those States to join us. In Bavaria,it seems im
possible to agree on any form of union, even
among those who favor union. At Baden
things look better. No doubt there is an open
ing.”'-: . ,J , i ;. ■ 1
The news of the French Republic had just
been received, .pn Bismarck-said, f‘ \Ve
shall nbt interfere with their domestic affairs.”
To.a suggestion that there must be some
, settled government to give Prussia a secure
guarantee for the; payment of the-war expenses
and indehdulty, Bismarck replied only'b^'re
peating “We don’t, want to interfere with the
domestic affairs of France. Our people think
wo must have those German provinces that
France took from us many years ago. t We
must, at - least, rerider~ Ffatfee'" powerless to

Paris, Sept. 14.— A correspondent writes as
follows: The Emperor at Wilkelinsboehe en
joys entire freedom of action, and walks;or
. rides as lie pleases. His chief companions are
Prince Moskowa and Prince Murat. He dis
regards tbe staring of the curious people he en
counters.outside.of.. the gates. It.is. said that,
he looks thirty years older tbau he did in 1803,
when the writer . saw him . last. He is now
bloated, bilious- and yellbw. - IILs eyes ; are
faint, tired and expressionless. His move
ments are slow, awkward ahd mechanical, and
his face absolutely devoid * of expression.
Apathy describes his appearance in - one word.
He retires late and rises early. His chamber
windows are lighted long after midnight, andat
4.3* in the morning the Emperor is seen walk
ing iu the garden. He dresses plainly ia black,
and amuses himself by talking to the. school
children, who gather around to see him.
Tours, Kept. 14.— Agreat numherot bridges
around Paris were blown up to-day, and the
woods were set on fire and houses likely to offer

Torn has again been bombarded." The firing

: London,, Sept.- 14.—[Special to the New
York TVflume.j—The Bavarian ministers are
considering-a scheme for the reconstruction of
the North German Confederation" and for
forming a German Parliament! The demo
cratic sociaiists-are agitating for peace with
their French brethren, and are protesting:
against tbe annexation of Alsace and Lorraine;
A printed address_was seizedjiy the police in,
Brunswick, and its authors and publishers im
prisoned.
Mr. Wasbbume's letter to Favre is sharply
criticised by the national Zcitung. It is said that
he had authorty merely to recognize the new Re
public, and all beyond was an expression of
personal feeling. It complains of his failure to
protect the Germans under his care, Uow per
secuted by Gambetta more cruelly than before.
The King prohibits the storming of Strasbourg
until it Is possible without a great sacrifice of
life. It is confirmed that Bazaine refuses all
terms, and it is expected that he will attempt
to cut his way out.
The removal of General Steinmetz was
caused partly by his needless sacrifice of troops,
and partly by his having fought at Spirecken
and Forbach against General Moltke’s orders,
and made the battles of August 14 and 16
necessary. The German Princes are preparing
a manifesto regarding the future organization
and government of Germany, to forestall popu
lar action and anticipate liberal action. Minis
ter Van Del Bruck, after visiting all the Prin
ces not with the army,'especially the King of
Saxony, has now gone to report at the King’s
headquarters.
- The Movement on Borne.
London, Sept. 14.—A corresponded., writ-*
ihg from the headquarters of the Italian army
at Terni, on September 10, says; Senor Mar
tini passed through that place, returning from
Rome, taking only an autograph letter from
the King to the Pope, in which the King simply
stated that considering the important events
that had occurred, he had thought it his duty
to occupy the Papal territory, promising to the
Pontiff the free exercise of his spiritual office.
According to Cadorno’s information, Martini
had been Received by the Pope, who said:
“ When the King’s troops, enter, I will declare
myself a prisoner.” Cadornb believes the Pope
has ordered his troops not to resist the Italian
Government, and that he ardently desires to
avoid bloodshed.' Col. Cbarette, commander
of the Papal forces, notwithstanding the Pope’s
order, threatens to oppose the Italians. His
force is concentrated near Montfalco, where
defensive works are thrown up.
The Papal army amounts to 17,000 well
aimed and equipped soldiers, having Reming
ton muskets and several mitrailleuses.
! The.Zouaves threaten to massacre the people
if a rising occurs. Cadorno told me that if any
act of bnitality/is committed they will: kill the
foreign troops to the last man, bat the natives
will he treated as brothers.
Three divisions of the Italian army are en
camped near Terni.,
I asked Cardono if there was any chance of.
their now abandoning the enterprise, and he
started and exclaimed: “Don’t you see the
spirit of the army and the people ? to drawback
liow would be to ruin the government.”
; Telegrams from Florence announce the occu
pation of Viterbo, Civita, Castellana, Magleano
and Monte-Rotundoi by the . Italian troops,
Under Cadorno. Another column, under
Bixio, is under the walls of Civita Vecchia, to
co-operate: with tho fleet of Adttiiral. Cerrati,
and a third column. is-at-Anagui.
I Florence, Sept. 11.—The answer sent by
Martini from the Pope proves to be utterly
illegible; ,The Cabinet vainly endeavored to
decipher it, and the despatch is believed to be
a trick of Antonelli to gain time.
