FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1870.
TO OUR READERS. .
IN assuming control of THE HUR-
ON EXPOSITOR, we no not deem it
necessary to ,enter into any very
lengthy exposition of the Course
, ,
which we have marked out for our-
selves to pursue. Our principles are
Reform, and under .our management
i
the EXPOSITOR Will. coral,iue to ad-
vocate and uphold all measures
which, we consider will tend to ad-
vance the interests of the Reform
party, and also the gener•al weal ,of
the country to which we belong. in
saying this much, however, we do
not bind ourselves to support .any
Man, or party of then, unless we are
fully convinced that their i actions
are such as will eatiele them tce °kir
snpport. , We are not of thOse who
. can see 110 good in a political oppon-
mate or no evil in the 'men who be-
long to ear own party. We believe
that there are good and bad in both
ranks, and although we can fully en-
dorse the prilaciplee which form the
Ilasis of the political creed of the one,
yet we do' not pretend to say that
that party, and that alone, is infalli
ble. On the other hand, we believe
that the very foundation upon which
the principlesof the opposing party
rests, is rotten and insecure, yet not
withstanding this, we do :not say
thatthe members of that party earl do
nothing which is right:. This being
the case we, shall hold ourselves ft ee,
at all tines, to criticise the public
actions of the men who belong to
our party, as well as the actioes of
those who belong to the opposite
side. In doing so we shall endeavor,.
to 'the best of our ability, to deal
juetly with all. If a political 9p-
ponent does that which is considered
to be right, and for the best inter-
ests of the country, we shall not de-
ny him the credit to which he is
justly entitled ; and on the same
principle, if a member of our.own
party, commits that which may seem
to us wrong or reprehensible, we
shall not shrink from the task of ex-
posing his misdeeds. '
With regard to local affairs, we have
only to say, that neither trouble nor
expense, will be spared, not only to
retain the EXPOSITOR in its present
efficient condition, but to continually.
improve it. It shall ever be. onr
earnest endeavour to make it a wel-
come visitor m every family which
it enters, and to make every sub-
scriber feel that he receives mom
than value foe his money., We
trust that, erelong., eve .01811 be en-
abled to make sueh improvements in
the EXPOSITOR, as will place it, ii
every respect, second to no other
local journal in the Dominion. In
this endeavor we -feel confident that
we will be vigorously assisted by the
,people, not of Seaforth alone,pait of
the County generally-. I -*

They alleged that a grussian army

leans was occupied by the Prus-
on last Sunday evening. There
o resistance to the entrance,
evet al cannon and a large num-
lber qf prisoners were captured, ac-
cording to the report of King Will-
iam, though other despatches make
the Prussian advantage much more
decided. in the north the French
have been again defeated in a severe
engagement, but no particulars, are
furnished. The report also comes
that the army of the Loire has been
routed.
SATURDAY. -
A large number of the prisoners
had arrived et Paris, captut•ed in the
battles at the east and south 01 the
city on the 2nd. The Prussian s in
their attack hurled over a hundred
and twenty thousand men against
Ducrot; yet be held his ground and
repulsed the enemy. The World's
Tours correspondent, of be 7th, says
that the Army of the Loire is at its
old quarters, but the hicality, is not
given. Despair has seized some here,
and the epirits of others have 'risen
to meet the desperate condition of
affairs, The Government declares
that its reverses were only of tem-
porary importance. Many railway
trains, loaded with cattle, sheep and
provisions, hadoeen concentrated
near Cirleani for the succour of Paris.
They were,all saved. Most of the
iguns taken] by the Prussians were
I mounted naval pieces. The World's
London special of the 7th says . the
town is full of rumours purporting
that Paris will capitulate on the
10th. Great contractors are known
to have prepared i menSe 'quail tides
of provisions to be despatched' to
-Paris, and special *contracts have
been made for railway transporta-
tion. A despatch from.liingWitliain
to Queen Augusta, confirms the re-
port that 10,000 prisoners, 77 Can-
non and 4 gunboats .-vrese captured
at Orleans. The King adds, "Ven-
tiensten bas can ied Gidy, Janvey
and Prinis, by storm, and Manteuffel
occupied Rotten after A victorious
encounter. Goeclen now holds the
city. Eight heavy guns were found
in the entrenchments." A telegram
from the Grand Duke of Mecklen-
burg states that the loss of Mecklen-
burg troops in the battles from the
2nd to the 4th was 3,000. The enemy
lost 2,000 killed and 1,400 prisoners,
MONDAY.
The prospects of unfortunate France
have certainly grown no brighter
during the past two weeks, and, if
the reports are not exaggerated, the
proud French peeple have to sustain
fresh reverses. Gen. Ducrot admits
in a proclamation to his soldiers tlat
his sortie from Paris was fruitless,
and that after two days' brave fight-
ing they 111115t re -cross the Marne,
and prepare to return to the leagured
city. The Prussian eordon is gra-
dually drawing closer, and inside the
masses must suffer a great deal of
inconYenience. That the fall of Paris
is expected shortly may beinferredecrrpeid
fromthe reportthat English
a
talista and speculators have ro.ade
contracts for the sueply of the citi-
zens as soon as that event takes place.
They may yet have to wait longer
