THE DOWNFALL OF NAPOLEON.
Within the past week, events of the most
extraordinary character, have transpired in
A
France. NapPleon, with his two most pro-
minent and able Generals, and their brave
and dauntless armies have fallen _a prey to
the invading enemy On Friday last, after
two days' bard fighting, Marshal McMahon
found it necessary to surrender himself and
his army to his Prussian opponent. The
Emperor, being at the time with McMahon,
was also compelled to submit to the only,
although humiliating, alternative, of accom-
panying his ,General.
Marshal Bazaine who, on hearing of the
capitula,tion of the knaperorand McMahon,
and who had been hemmed in, in front of
Metz for several day, deeming all chance
of escape from his unpleasant and danger-
ous position, gone, followed the !example
of his brother in misfortune, and stirrendm -
ed himself and his forces to Prince Freder-
ick Charles. Thus, of the great French
army, -over 400,000 strong, -there is now
nothing left. All is gone.
What wonderful changes in the circum-
stances and position cf nations,as' well as of
individuals; the events of a few short weeks
frequently bring about. Six weeks ago,
France was looked upon as one of the most
powerful and influential nations on the feet)
of the earth, but to -clay -her great military
power and prestige are gone, and she is no
longer the feared arbitei of the destinies of
Europe. Her capitalfin a state of seige ;
her Emperor a prisoner of war; the two
principal divisions of her army, with their
commanders' disarmed and under guard of
the enemy, and her'whole country over -run
by an invading and hostile foe. Truly "the
mighty have fallen." and the great French
natioii has attained a degree of humiliation
which is most pitiable.
so much of her territery, in order to com-
pensate fur the blunders of a grasping, and
now defunct, King; but she must endea-
vour to make the best of her misfortune,
and bear in mind that "to the 'victor
belong the spoils." By the sword the same
,tertitory was, on a former occasion, wrest-
ed from Germany, and it is but right that
the Germans should again secure posses-
sion of it, when by the sword they have
earned it.
Although we heartily rejoice at the suc-
cess which has been achieved by the Prus-
sians, we cannot but sympathile with the
French peoPle for the galling, humiliating,
a,nd mournfal position in which they have
been placed by a selfish, grasping, wreckless
ruler, in order to gratify his inordinate am-
bition. We do not, suppose that Prussia
receives the almost unanimous sympathy
which she does from the people of other

A :REPUBLIC FOR FRANCE. _
What a versatile people the French are!
But a few weeks !ago, the popular cry in
Paris, was;" Vive l guerre," and "Vive la
Emperor." Now ;the tatne is changed, and
the masses vociferously shout "Vive la Re-

London, Sopt. 5. -The report that the
Prince Imperial had escaped to Belgium is
false ; he was suirendered with the Emper-
or. The total number of prisoners by this
surrender is 120,000.
New York, Sept. 5. -Sunday night's dis-
patches from New York say :-A proclama-
tion signed by all the ministers has been is-
sued. The capitulation of the Emperor
and McMahon has been admitted. In the
Chambers similar statements were made.
The Minister of war whilst not admitting
Bazaine's surrender, said his attempts to ex-
tricate himself had failed. Confidence in
the people to defend Paris, and by raising
new armies to drive the Prussians from
French soil, was expressed both in the pro-
clamation and orally, and a firm determina-
tion to hold out to the last was avowed by
the leaders of all parties.
The Germans of New York, Saturday,
sent $14,000 to the Soldiers Aid Commis-
sion in Berlin ;* this makes $73,000 that

capture of the Emperor was freely circulat-

would have' no cause for complaint or inter-
ference. But such would not probably be
the result. •Other nation e and powers
might be, thereby,- involved in difficulties
and injured through inconsiderate action

therefore, most • likely, that ere Prussian
and other interested PONVOlS consent to the
continuence of the new form of Govern-
ment in France, they will be thoroughly
convinced that all chances of future trouble,
in this way,lare guarded against. It maybe

but that a feeling of hatred and enmity will

worthy of sympathy.
What effect the events which have trans-
.
pired during the past Week, will have,' in
the way of securing or hastening a satisfac-
tory and permanent peace, it is difficult a
present to say. We cannot see, lktwever,
that France can ultra longer hold
out Even if she could etiptinue to resist
for a time, what can she gain by so doing?
Placed in the position she now is without
an army scarcely worthy of the name, it
will certainly be sheer madness if she con-
tinue to hold out against the _ immensely
superior forces, -both nuperically and in
discipline, -of Prussia. He best . course
now, is to sue for peace, anti rely upon
neighboring powers to see that she gets jus-

will save' further bloodshed. She must
come to it ultimately, and she may as well
do it first as last.
The demands to be made by Prussia, are
not yet definitely known.. It is supposed,
however,. that she will demand from France
either of two things :-Ist. The cession of
the Provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, toge-
ther with indemnity for all loss sustained
by the _war ; or 2nd, to take Metz and
Strasburg, and keep them. Either of these
demands, on the part of Prussia, we do not
consider unreasonable ; and either of which
will most probably, be acceptable to all oth-
er powers concerned. It may be most h am-

The correspondent of the Tribune has in-
teiviewed Bismarck near ,Sedan, who, in
answer to enquiries as to what were likely
to be the conditions of peace, replied :-
There are three conditions open to us 'with
regard to peace with France. We trust
st0p. the possibility of another unprovoked
and uncalled for attaCk by the French Na-
tion or Government on our eommon Father-
land. No minister who failed to do this
could hold office for a week, for the opin-
ion of all ermany would be against him.
There is, as I have said, three weys of stop-
ping an attack on the Rhine provinees
lst. We might make Alsace and Lor-
raine a neutral state, like Luxemburg or
Belgium, extending from the former coun-
try to Switzerland, and so separate France
and Prussia= bya group of neutral States;
but I confess, it appears !to me that the
neutrality of the existing small states
is already so difficult to protect and
is - at every moment liable to so many
and such dangerens complications, that I
do not think it would be werth =While to
make any more neutral states, and with
them new duties and dangers.
2mi. We might take Alsace and Lor-
raine and hold them as conquered territory,.
but I am sure this would not be looked on
favourably by the majority of my German
fellow -countrymen. We are almost anxi-
ous to complete our unity, hut we do not,
want any people among us who are unwil-
ling members of the German nation.
There remains to us then as a thira course -
to take, Metz and Strasburg, and keel,
them. Strasburg,- particularly, is absolute-
ly needful for the protection. of South Ger-
many, which is at themercy of the French
army so long a& France possesses Straeburg..
There is nothing to stop fte :French invading -
army now. It would be very unfair if we
were to leave our South Garman brethren
unprotected, .after they have fought so
bravely and well by our sides, in this cam-
paign. Then again, by holding Strasburg
we could always prevent any movement on
the Rhine, so we have beseiged Strasburg
-
vigorously, and when we have got the olcl
German town back again, we shall make a
Gibralter ot it.

officers proceeaed to a chateau outside Sedan
and received the Emperor, who came with
.his personal followers, and staff, in charge
of an escort, which was ranged on the other -
side of the avenue, facing the cuirasseurs.
The King and his capeive retired into the
glass house, of one of the saloons, on the
di awing floor, and they could be seen
by the staff outside engaged in earnest dia-
logue. After the ;nterview with the King,

he was much agitated. His great anxiety
seemed, not to be exhibited to his own sol•

a junction between the Saxons and Prus-
sians behind Sedan was announced to us by
Gen. Von Boon, who was eagerly peering
through a• large telescope, as being safely
completed. From this moment the result
of the battle could no longer be doubtful.
The French were completely surrounded
