TUE SURRENDER OP METZ.-Tbis event
of courso hns produced a profouud sou
nation as well iu Franoo as in Germany.
The following is tho proclamation of the
Frenoh Government, which breathes a
lofty spirit which rises with disaster:
FRENCH REPUBLIC-LIBERTY, EQUALITY,
FRATERNITY - PROCLAMATION TO THE
FRENCH PEOPLE.
FRENCHMEN: Ruine your spirits and
resolution to tho fearful height of perils
which havo broken upon our country.
Tt still depends on US to mount nbnve.
misfortune and show the world how great
o people may be who aro resolved not to
perish, and where courage increases in
tho midst of calamity.
Motz has capitulated. A General
upon whom Franco counted, even after
Mexico, has just taken away (vient d'en?
lever) from the country in its danger
moro than 100,000 of its defenders.
Marshal Bazaine has betrayed UB! He
has made himself tho agent of tho man
of Sedan and the accomplice of tho in?
vaders, and regardless of tho honor ol
the army of which ho had charge, ho has
surrendered, without even making a lnsi
effort, 120,000 fighting men, 20.00C
wounded, guns, cannon, colors, and thc
strongest citadel of Franco, Metz, virgir.
but for bim, to tho contamination of thc
foreigners.
Such a erinn; is above even tho punish
ment of justice. Meanwhile, French
men, measure tho depths of the nbysi
into which tho Empire has prccipitatci
you. For twenty years France submit
ted to this corrupting power, which ex
tinguished in her the springs of greatnes
and of life. The army of Franco, strippet
of its nationul character, became, with
out knowing it, an instrument of tyrann;
and of servitude, and is swallowed up ii
spite of the heroism of tho soldiers b;
tho treason of their chiefs. lu tho dis
asters to tho country, in less than tw<
months 250,000 have been delivered ove
to the enemy, a sinister sequel to th
military coup de main of December.
It is time for us to re-assert ourselves
citizens, and under tho icgis of the Rc
public, which wo have determined no
to allow to capitulate within or withoul
to seek in tho extremity even of on
political and social morulity and mar
hood. However tried by disaster, let u
bo found neither panic-stricken nor hes
tating. Let it bo seen that we are read
for tho last sacrifices, and in tho face (
enemies, whom overything favors, let r
sweur never to give up so long as thei
remuins au inch of sacred soil under tl
soles of our feet. Let us hold firmly tl
glorious banner of tho French revoh
tion.
Our cause is that of justico aud <
right. Europo sees it; Europe feels i
lu the presence of macy unmerited mi
fortunes, spontaneously receiving froi
us neither invition or encouragemen
she is moved, and Bhe begins to act. ft
illusion is now left. Let us no longi
languish or grow weak, and let us pro'
by our acta that we can, ourselves, mai
tain honor, independcuce, iutegrity-i
that makes a country proud and fre
Long live the Republic, one and inc
visible. Signed by Cremieux, Gk
Biziou and Gambetta.
The proclamation, placarded about t
streets, attracted crowds of readers, ai
creates great excitement. Groups
people are discussing it. The trcache
of Bazaine is denounced, and bitter i
precations are uttered against thc Dot
partists.
Oommeuting thereupon the New Yo
World says:
"THE REPUBLIC AND BAZAINE.-Wh
ever may be thought by the rest of t
world of the surrender of Marshal I
zaino at Metz, the French Governmi
at Tours nt least have made up th
minds ou the subject. lu a stirring p
cludjation to tho French people, they i
m unee the net as an act of treason to I
Stat?', and Marshal Bazaine himself as
accomplice of tho "Mun of Sedau."
'.lt is impossible to deny that th
aro many things in tho accounts wh
have already reached us of this amuz
incident of tho war to warrant tho
lief that theso terrible charges muy
only too well founded in truth. Th
is nothing, unfortunately, in tho \
career of Murshnl Bazaine, and especii
in his Mexican experience, (to which
Government ut Tours bitterly allude,

Gambetta and his colleagues level nt 1

led us to hope it might provo to

and England to represent the positio

it really was.

BISMARCK ON THE SITUATION AT PARIS.
The following memorial in regard to the
fatal consequences to which the popula?
tion of Paris aro exposed by a prolonged
resistance, has been sent by Count Bis?
marck to the Ambassadors of North
Gormauy :
Tho conditions of armistice offered to
M. Jules Favre, intended as the basis for
tho re-establishment of order in France,
huvo heen rejected by him and his col?
leagues. They thereby decreed the con
! tumut ion of a struggle which, accord
I iog to tho course of events, appears
I without any chance of success for the
French people.
I Sinco thou, the prospects of France in
j this war, so full of sacrifices, have still
j further declined. Toni and Strasburg
havo fallen. Paris is olosely surrounded,
and German troops are advancing along
tho Loire. Tho largo forces before en?
gaged near the above fortresses aro now
at tho free disposal of the German com?
manders.
Tho country has to bear the conse
quonces of a war a'oulrance decreed by
? tho French authorities in Paris. Its
sacrifices will bo unnecessarily increased,
! and its social condition suffer more and
j moro dangerous decomposition.
I Tho command of the German armies
! docs not find itself in a situation to
counteract this; but perceives clearly the
consequence of the resistance chosen by
? the powers in France, and feels compelled
to call general attention to one point,
viz: tho Bpecial condition of Paris.
I The heaviest attacks heretofore made
from this capital, (on the 19th and 30th
i of last month,) in which the elite of the
armies collected in that city, have not
been ablo to throw back the first line of
j tho besieging force, lead to the convic
| tion that tho capital will fall sooner or
later.
If the timo of surrender is postponed
by tho provisional government for the
national defence until the threatening
want of provisions necessitates a capitu?
lation, tho most terrible results must
follow.
Tho unwise destruction of railways,
bridges and canals, within a certain dis?
tance around Paris, by the Frenoh, has
not been ablo to stop for one moment
thu advance of the German armies; all
communications by land or water, need?
ed for military operations, have been re?
established in a very short time. These
repairs, naturally, regard military inte?
rests exclusively, while the other de?
structions, evon after a capitulation, will
prevent for a long time the communica
tion of tho capital with the provinces.
It will bo an absolute impossibility foi
tho German commanders, when thal
caso occurs, to provide one single day'?
rations for a population of nearly 2,000,
OOO. The environs of Paris, to the dis
tance of several days' journey, since al
stores there are necessarily required foi
the uso of the German troops, will thei
offer no resources, and will not penni
the inhabitants of Paris to evacuate bj
the roads into tho country. The inevit
ablo result would be tho starvation o
hundreds of thousands.
Tho persons in power in France can
not fail to discern these consequences a
clearly as the German commanders, am
since to the latter nothing is left but b
carry on the war proffered, the rulers o
France are responsible for forcing sud
extremes.
THIS PROSPECT IN FRANCE. -The Balti
moro Sun says: It is almost incredible
yet none the less true, that two illustr
ons Marshals of Franoe, at the head c
armies numbering together 250,000 vet?
rans, have been entrapped and absorbe
entire, within less than two mouths (
each other, by a strategist of three-6COi
and ten, a venerable military ?pide
who, keepiug ont of sight himself, wbi
the Prussian King, the Crown Prine
and other royal figuro heads have bee
flaming in front, has silently woven h
web and entangled well-nigh all Frani
in its meshes. The movements of tl
armies of Prussia, organized under i
despotic military system, and direct*
by the profound and peculiar genius <
Von Molt ko, seem more like the oper
tiou of machines, impelled by mechar
cd forces, than of intelligent beiuj
under tho guidance of an ordinary mc
tal. If thero has been any failure
any department of tho military ente
prise of Prussia iu this war, it has n
yet come to Jicht. The army hos bei
handled with tho regularity and precian
df a well-conducted railway train, ai
more fortunate than railways, if any c
ject has obstructed the way, the obst ri
tiou has always suffered without invo!
ins thc train in corresponding damoj
All this is admirable in its way, but
seems is only secured where the inhal
tauts of a couu try are treated as t
property of tho Government, carefu
moulded at a certain age, and ticket<
like different pieces of maohinery, to
put together when ocoasion demani
and hence without individual liberty.
Tho surrender of Metz, by releasi
the besieging Prussian army, will adi
large force of men, besides guns a
other munitions of war, to the hosts n
Hiirrouiiding Paris; or if their preset
in that, quarter is not deemed necessa
will set them at liberty to overrun ot!
portions of unoccupied France. 1

bixteen divisions of infantry, while th
Indore Paris have hitherto embraced o
sevonteeu similar divisions. The fal

division of landwohr. The reductioi
