There were great numbers of suburban residences here with neat gardens,and besides these,many mar keting establishments, on a large scale, with great quantities of fruit trees, &c.

Like most bounce of the class, it. consisted of farm buildings, and at, the other end was a long passage 00' which opened doors into four rooms for the family. These rooms and the passage wore littered with straw and rubbish of cvcry dcscriptiou. The first room I entered contained a heap of straw in one corner, evidently

used :tso boil; ubrokcu chair and a frog- mcut of it table were in another, and in a third, it handsome armoirc of walnut wood, with the doors wrcncbcd off their hinges for firewood; in another room was a broken bedstead, a good piece of furniture, but no bedding—o heap of straw supplied the place of tlic muttrass, another armoire was here which lmd been treated in the some fashion ; the kitchen, which come next, was littered with emp- ty bottles and fragments of biscuits, and the fourth room contained nothing but rubbish. In the stable we saw frag- ments of two handsome covci'lcts torn and dirty, which had evidently boon used to covvr horses. The untlircslicd corn was littered about the gran try mul

barn. A grout part of the flooring and even of the roof beams, bud been torn up or backed away for firewood, and there was not a door to the whole concern ex- cept one, which seemed too strong to be lli'ullcn. Mme of the window frames had been taken out. and burned, and al- together the scene was one of almost in- describable rain. I went. into house after house and found them in the sonic condition.

But this cannot last long, and in many villages we shall ﬁnd some day (or rather those who succeed as will,) that there is neither food nor money left, so that it. is im ossible to say how for our estimate is be ow the mark; above it it. certainly is not. I had a long conference to—day with Mr. Msguin, and we arranged the headings of information he is to seek from the Mayor of each commune, as to the condition of agricul- tural affairs, and the probable wants in seed corn and other seeds. One fact he mentions is of the greatest importance. He said that there was no question that. in the spring there would,bc numbers of speculators oing round selling old seed cheap, whicll, of course, will not grow, and be said that. there was no way in. which we could confer so great a benefit on the agricultural community as by sell- ing seeds where we did not think it need- ful to give them. He said that it could be easily advertised beforehand, and that his warranty would give confidence to all purchasers. He will prepare in tabular statement, according to the heads I gave him, and have it ready in about four weeks. There is great need of warm clothing, and of clothing of every kind, and we are very glad to find that you have already sent out a good quan- tity. I wish you could have soon 'tlic delight of the poor people to whom I made distribution at Brioy, last Sunday and Monday, andtlio followingday.

G.\mn.\i.ni’s erorULsmrr.-A corres- pondent writing to the Daily Tt'fegr'u 1]: from Tours, says :—“Ueucral Garibaldi seems to have made more enemies than friends in this part. of France. Ills cx- pulsion of the Jesuit. Fathers from Dole appears to have been most arbitary and unjustifiable in every. way. The Jesuits had been lodging and feeding at. their mvn expense no fewer than 800 Mobiles for upwards of a mouth, and there were in their college at the time nearly a bun- tertl lads, sons of the most respectable people in the department. Some of the boys were ill with severe colds, and a few with fcvcr, but despite the rcmon- strunccs of the sub-prefect, who had prepared quarters for Garibaldi and his staff elsewhere. the fathers and their pupils had to clear out at twcntli-four hours’ notice. Two of their number

A do or two showed them that their line - ness was, in this instsncc, groundless. liut the sense of alarm was a new and signiﬁcant experience on the part of the invaders, throwin an unexpected light on the realities 0 their position. It is, in fact, tolerably certain that the be~ siegers have as much as they can maa~ age on their hands, and that if it were not for their best ally, “atsrvation‘” the reduction of Paris would be problem- aticul. As it is, the Germans can do nothing but keep the place shut up, and they will undoubtedly have to tight hard ——possibly in the course of the current -—so prevents sortie. lithe French forces outside of Psi-ts can be kept away from it, however, the fal'. of the capital is morally certain. Should this event not bring along with it the submission of the country, the victors would seise upon suﬂicient guarantees for the in- demnity they intended to claim, and would retire on the departments they were resolved to annex. France would be left to recover her strength, and, con- sidcriug what, according to the latest ia~ terprctation of public law, is the obliga- tion of a treaty of peace, it is nits as well that Count Bismarck shoul not go through the hollow form of negotiating a convention with the vanquished na- tion. 110 ms spare himself all anxiety on the green of having no one to treat with when a treaty comes to nothing.

Gssanst Cnssciumn’s Osmox or Barnum—A contributor to the Daily 'l'eIegraplt has interviewed General Chan- garnior. Naturally the conversation turned upon Mctz. The veteran did not think that the place fell through trcacb~ cry, but through the incapacity of Ba- " Bazuine was incompetent to command so large an army. The num- bcrs bewildered him. He could not move his men; he could not. operate his forces. lIo had no judgment, no forc' sight (clairvoyant-e). Also, Bazainc was a selfish man—Jot himself, for his personal glory, not for his country's honor. Buzaine thought all the time that peace would soon be proclaimed. that Paris would never hold out; that the war would fall ﬂat, and that his mil— itary reputation would not be impaired. Further than that, liuzaine expected. when peace should be insured, that lie could march out of Metz with 150,000 men, the cream of the French army, and make the public believe in effect that be was a hero, because he never surrender- ed, but held Metz against every udvcr~ city." The veteran General added that Buzainc could, at any time, have cut his way through the hostile army, up to the [5th October. Of this there could be no doubt. The troops were obedient, and numbered l50,000 good men. Chaugar- nicr has strong liopcstlmt. the (biennial funiin will reign in France.

Notwithstanding the assertions of the l‘russiuns. that very little damage wa< done to the Cathedral of Strasburg. dur~ ing their late bombardment of the an armed portion of the city, it new ap emu that such great. ravages were e ectcrl that the architect estimates the cost of repairing them at 1,500,000 ir., "ill" fabric being for more injured that might

being old and inﬁrm, have since dieill from the effects of the weather and from, the shock to their system, caused by their being made beggars and sent adrift. I met the other doyuyoung Franctireur who had an uncle among- the Jesuit Fathers in Dole. and two nephews among the pupils. llo showcd me a ball with n mark upon it, which lie in- tended for Garibaldi whenever he come across him, even if he should himself be shot the next moment.

Ilo knows well that lwforo that time the 600,000 l"rcucli civilians, who am drilling at. least six hours every day, will be equal to the lutmlwcbr of Prussia. Ilo kuows, also, that before the owl of April there will be three great armies out. of Paris, con- sisting of 150,000 men each, at least—— one of tho Loire, another of Brittany, and the third of the North. Those three ar- mies are rapidly forming at the present time. Moltkc knows all this, and that it the l’t'ussians wait much longer before Paris, the three armies will all converge towards the capital, and, in combination with the 600,000 men of the Paris gar- rison, will surround the Futurism, and make prisoners of King, l’rinco Royal, German Potentshea, Moltke, Bismarck, and the whoie “kit.” But the Prusaisos will not wait fortbis. * ‘ ‘ Before the new year, the Prussians will, we be- lieve, be obliged to raise the siege of Paris, and make a disastrous retrth to- wards Germany, followed by the garris- on of Paris, and attacked on the ﬂan by the Provincial Mobiles and the
