THE WAR O EUROPE THE QUESTION OF PEACE Fresh Instructions to M. Thiers-—The Re public Refuse to Cede French Ter ritory—Tlews of the Prns sian Government. fßy Cable.J i London, Sept. 15, 1870.—The latest reports which were received from Paris in this city yesterday, relative to M. Thiers’s mission to England, were to the etl'ect that M. Thiers had .received still further instructions from the re publican government in Paris, and that by these be was instructed still more explicitly to treat a peace, and directed still further as to the mode and manner of hie diplOm'acy'to that end. Hopes are still entertained of M.Thiers’s final success. M. Tillers Without Official Character. -On the otherhand, th e Pall Mali Gazette con curs in the general opinion that M. Thiers is without .official Character., Trocbn’B Determination to Defend Paris "•Position of tbe Prussian Forces. —JjONDOsy Bept.ls—Night.—ThoPariscor respondent of the. Kew York//era/d had an interview with General TrOchu yesterday on" the subject of communicating with the outside world. General Trochu was kind and liberal in tone, but very firm as to the absolute ne cessity of forbidding all such communications. He alluded to the annoyance and the losses which w-ould thus be indicted npon many in nocent people in many parts of the world, but »noke of them as cruel necessities like all the necessities of war. He spoke with some bitterness of the tone in which English jour nals had alluded to the defence of Paris as a political feint. “ Look,” he said, “at the calm determination with which we are how devas tidingsome of the-loveliest suburbs and most valuable dependencies of Paris, laying waste beautiful parks,burning up forests,the work of centuries, and levelling .fine buildings with the grounds.” He aslred if these facts did "not speak"loudly enough for the resolution which Paris had taken to fight to the last hour against her invaders. Of subterranean communication from Paris there is no lack to-day. We are told that skirmishing has begun along the outposts of Paris. The woods of St. Cloud have been set on tire between the palace and the river, so as to clear tbe space for the tremendous fire of the Mont Valerin batteries. (By Hail.} “ IF BAZAIHE HOLDS OUT.” Jules Favre on the' Resistance of Metz. J’ap.ik, August 80.—The Prussian command ers know very well the strength erf-this city, aud it seems like the madness of despair to at temptto carry it by assault. On the contrary, how can it bo kept in a state of siege ? His tory tells us that if iu 1815 Paris had beenable to stand a siege ot only eight days, the allied armies would have been forced to retreat. No One here will attempt to deny that the city is prepared for a siege of at least two months. We know how 'Mas sena recoiled, broken and dispirited, from Mail rid: we know the failure jof_tbe English at Badaioy ; we have seen the city of Ham burg, with a hostile population, held by 10,000 French for a whole Winter, and we can re member well that Sebastopol sustained asiege of eleven months. If the English and French armies had not been upon the-sea, with large navies to aid them and to transport supplies, they could not have remained their to dig parallels, and neither the "Redan nor the Malakoif would have been taken. Such historical facts may count for little, logically speaking, hut they really give us good cheer who are behind the best system of fortifications which modern engineering skill can invent. Contrary to the expectations of some, we have had time to arm these for midable works. The 28th of August has come and lias gone, and Marshal Bazaine has won his meeoof praise. “If he keeps the enemy back nptil the 28tb,” said Jules Favre in the Chambers, “ be will be a man of genius. Paris will then be ready.” The time has been given, and now .comes the news that the enemy is again advancing in force, and that an attack npon the city seemscertain. Is Foris Impregnable?—Wlint tbe First Bapoleon Thought. The Correspondence ofJSapoleon X., vol. 31, page 148, contains the following from Napo leon himself If hostilities, as it was to bo feared, com menced before the autumn, the armies of Europe In coalition would be much more nu luerous than the French armies, and it would then be before Paris or Lyons that the fate of the empire must bo decided. These two great cities had both been at one time fortified, like other capitals of Europe, and like them were so no longeT, if, however, in 1805, Vienna had been fortified the battle of Ulen Could not have decided the war ; the army corps commanded by General Kutersofi might have awaited the other corps of the Russian army from Olmutz. In 1801 Prince Charles, beaten at Ecknpihland obliged to retreat by the left bank of the Danube,would have had time to reach Vienna and to unite With the armies Of General Hil ler and the Archduke John. Had Berlin been fortified in 1805, the army beaten at Zena might have .been rallied, and the Russian army would have made a junction. In 1803, if Madrid had been a fortress, the French army, fifter the victories of Espenosa, of Tudela, of. Barges, or Soaro Sierra, would. hot nave marched upon the capital, and / laying aside Salar manca and Valladolid, the English, under Moore, and the Spanish,under Romana,might have arrived under the fortifications of Mad rid.. Paris has been saved by her walls eight or ten times. In 885 she would havo been a nrey to the Normans when those barbarians invested her in vain for ten years In 1358 she was besieged by tbe Dauphin, and when the citizens threw open their gates to him it was of their own free will. In 1359 Edward, King of England, was encamped at Montrouje, and carried fire and sword up to the foot of the walls, but could do nothing against the olty and fell back. In 1427 Henry , V. repulsed the assaults of "Charles VII. In 1464 the Count? of Charolais assailed the capital but failed in all his- attacks. In 1472 Paris would have been taken by the Duke of Bayundy, who wassubject to be content with ravaging the suburbs. In 1036 Charles V-, master of Champagne, had his headquarters at Meaux—his scouting parties came up to the very walls, hut tbe capital was able to resist him, I n 1888-89 rHenry III;- and Henry IV;- surged vain against the fortifications of Paris until peace opened the gates. In 1636, during the Fronde, the walls saved the-city repeat edly, Lastly, had Paris- been a strong place in 1814-15, capable of only a week’s resistance, what influences might not the delhy have had upon events. . ./ ..,, IS KING WILUIBI JtSSANE? , - 1870.

A Christian View :of |tbe German Triumphs. i A German gentleman writes to a London ' paper thus: . ' AH our victories appear, not alone to the real Christian, but also to those wiio are not quite void of human feelings, gloomy,and sur rounded by most awful woefulness. Up to now our armies have lost more than 35,000 deadand more than 40,000 mofe'er less severely wound ed, besides many- thousands who are under dysentery, fever, &c. Who is able to rejoice over such victories? About the final results no thing can be said or settled until the united Ger man troops have taken Paris.. But before this is gained, how many thousands of lives are to be offered ? All our towns and villages are full of, wounded and’ sick soldiers. Here we have, one lazaretto of one hundred and another of twenty beds. Most of our Rhenish and.Westphalian hospitals are under the cafe of the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul and of St iiorromeo. Besides, we have everywhere numerous, associations of ladies (all my daughters belong to them) and of gentlemen who go about to help the ; poor wounded and sick men. ■ - BKABSEUII. CANItoBEKT. Hls Actual Worklaitae Field. [From the Fall Mall Q alette, August 30. j A correspondent, whose letter appeared in our Friday 's number, expresses surprise that Canrobert’s name should Pot have Mtherto been mentioned as present before Metz, and is even more astonished that that . Marshall’s staff should have been under the delusion that the -battle of Vionville, on the lfith, was a French victory. It should, bo remembered that our accounts, except a few trustworthy stories from Paris, have been derived mainly from the German side, andUhat what we have gathered from the other is obscure by the confusion, contradiction and incom pleteness which are the invariable character istics of a beaten army’s account of its mis fortunes. Canroberfs biography has plainly been subordinated to those of the officers nearer the invader, and all that is yet pertain of it is that the Marshal, daring - the first weeks.of the campaign, was at Chalons, in command of the Sixth Corps; that when the disasters of Woerth and Forbach roused the French nation to the sense of their danger then it was proposed that Canrobert should be made Governor of Paris ; but he declined a dangerous post, which, to speak plainly, would have been qmta.. unsuited to the easy and yielding disposition which failed to pre serve'discipline in the French army before Sebastopol. : ■ e r - When Bazaine formally took the command at Metz, Canrobert appearß, ; with the ,same generosity of spiritwhich he showed when su persededhy P'elispier in 5855, to have volun teered at once to serve under his junior, and left- Chalons with a'part of his corps—part, by the last accounts; was certainly with MacMa li'on when he broko up his eamp - last week carrying, perhaps, what could be ,moved at dnde' by to the assistance of the main army. That his aides-des-camps should have supposed the battle of Vionville to bave been a victory is very easily accounted for, when, we recol lect that each army that day maintained ife ground, the French getting some temporary advantage on their right, Prussia’s Demands. The German press generally maintain the indispensability of material hot moral guaran tees for . the peaceful disposition of France when she is compelled to ask for peace on bended knee. The Rhine Gazette sketches out an’ interesting plan for reducing France within her ancient unfits. Prussia is to take the country along The Moselle from Nancy and Luneville to Safirguemihes. Then Bavaria would step in for her share as far as Bisch weiler, and, West Baden would have the bal ance of Lorraine and Alsace, with Imperial Strasbourg; Wurtemberg being indemnified by a cession of Badan sqil and a sum of. money. Thus the Rhine being removed', altogether from French contact, her passion for a Rhine frontier will gradually die out. A Significant Statement. The Journal d’Auvers, quoting some well written Berlin correspondence, says that the impression in the . Prussian capital, of Napo leon’s designs was that the Emperor had no intention of disappearing from public afiairs when hegave up the pereonalcommaud Of the army. He did not cradle himself in illusions; he’, would profit by his enforced leisure to perfect new plans. He would set diplomatic machinery at work with the neutral powers, for the purpose of maintaining his dynasty, and, of preserv ing French integrity. As for the maintenance of the dynasty, Louis Napoleon would have nothing to fear from. Count von Bismarck, whose voice is preponderant in King’s coun cils ; that the best informed circles of Berlin were all convinced that there was no disposi tion to open negotiations with any other power than that of the Emperor, although, of course,’their determination might be modlfiod by circumstances,: It would not; be the Prus sian mission to assist in proclaiming a repub lic or to force the Orleans family upGntho French nation.

Bow Die Destroyed the Empire. ; The Army and Navy Journal says: ■ The truth is, France has been completely be trayed by the Empire.- Compelled my his -in secure tenure upon power to purchase the support of the statesmen who managed the civu, and, the generals who directed the mili tary affairs of the nation, the Emperor has fa vored fraud in every branch of the service. Receiving a larger civil list than any other monarch in Europe, amounting to 37.000,000 francs in money, and the free possession-of palaces,jmrks and gardens,Jhis_ entire income is put at 42,000,000 francs, or $8,000,000 in gold. But this was far from enough. The crowds that' swarm the streetsof Pans, forming a re public out of a despotism , tell of the fraud by which he has taken enormous stuns from the army fund, amounting, it is said, to a further total of 50,000,000 francs. The commutation money paid m by rich conscripts has been Taken j aud the old soldiers who ShouldTje found in the ranks as substitutes are not there. Pay is drawn for regiments at their maximum strength , which lack one-third of it. Forage, snbsistance,’ munitions, all have been paid for but not bought. In spiteof the enormous cost of the armament of the country, Gen. Trocbu was obliged to tell a crowd of new-made re publicans that there were no arms for them.” But this direct larceny was by no means all. The. fraud was carried still farther, and “ fat contracts” have been more common in France than in any other country-tin-thejworld. The truth is, the personal government was con ducted by a set of-bold but very needy adven turers ; and if the misfortunes of the ring leader are of a kind to silence the voice of ac cusation, the infinitely greater misfortunes of the people he has misled are -such as to rouse, it again. ■ under the Empire the people of France, have been denied every means by which nations prepare for success in war. Assem blage in volunteer organizations, even the most private ownership of arms, has been for bidden. It has been next to impossible for a citizen to obtain possession of a breech-loader; or other modern gun. ti The military spirit of France is, to-day* manifested in the unsurpassed bravery with which Strasbourg* Toni and Montmedy hold out; by the valor of her troops in the field: by the longing of her people to strike ahlow for her preservation. But, as the former have been neutralized by the frauds in supplies, so' tlie iaiter have. been made useless by tbe clog put upon every effort to form themselves, into good material for armies.’ The. history of French ’volunteersis an instructive one? Tlie dread of their monarchs, the trust •of ihe people, they. Have been ’ alternately called out and disbanded for fifty years. - Their last manifestation was in 1867,.when the success of Prussia at Sadowa alarmed the nation* and with trua instinct the people rushed into, the. ranks'for 1 drill' and practice. The movement was too popular and too general to he forbid-' ilen. A review was had m the- Court of ’the tiuileries; there were decorations from the- Emperor,and applause from the people. But the next'inorningmn order, appeared placing the volunteers in the Garde Mobile, subject to calls to active service. That killed the move ment. THE POSITION OF ENGLAND. ’ It IS Ludicrous. The Nation Says: The position Of England, which has all along been a very .active.: peace-maker—Lord Lyons having labored earnestly with the Due de Gra mout beiore the outbreak of the war—is now lieepmiimposltiyely ludicrous. Looking about t’n sCe wno is most to blame for all that has; happened, the French, Prussians, Austrians, Danes aind Russians, hot to speak of the Fe uians; seem to be heartily, agreed that It is Eng lautl. and that she ought to get a good thrash-’ ing from somebody, thougn’ we i suspect the general readiness to assail her is due to the tact that.she can’t be;got at on iaud,- and no- Dodyhasafleet big enough for the job ot as sailtngher at sha(; .salhat. abuse of her fur nishes harmless relieves the, feelings of the combatants without expense. The French are intensely irritated by the sympathy for Prussia displayed by the people and press, and the Prussians by the continued sale of arms, munitions of war, and of coal ,to the French—a resource from which Prussia is cut off by the want of a navy. The sympathy for Prussia is partly due to Teutonis’m, Protestan tism, and race; the hostility to France to the discovery of the Benedetti draft, which showed that her Imperial ally was ready to seize Bel gium, whose existence she bad guaranteed, and join Prussia in chastising her if she re sisted. The French fury against her is a just retribution for .having- helped more than any other power to . build up the Empire, and make it respectable. The Queen was the first sovereign to kiss Louis Napoleon and welcome him into the royal tribe ; and the Crimean war was under taken partly to win his good graces; and ended iu his glorification and the humiliation of England. The commercial treaty which sancti fied hlih in Mr. Cobden’s eyes, whatever its economical value, was owing to the manner of its negotiation, one of thp greatest of the Im perial outrages on the French people, and the chuckling Of the English free-traders over it was very discreditable. In short, no power in Europe did nearly so much to bolster the Emperor up as England; and his relations to her made tne Belgian proposition even worse than it seemed on the surface.
