There was a dc-cHbc dc-cHbc in the stock market yesterday, caused by a cabinet meeting called for the purpose, as understood, of considering consid-ering what course should be taken in regard to the formidable attitude ol Hussia.

Tho sto.y of a secret treaty between Prussia and Kuski relative re-lative to the eaMcrn Question, has been revived at ienna with much feeling and a good deal of circumstantiality.

The Iiukj.,,, dt.it lir,,,; to-day publishes a letter from Gen. Boyer, Bazaine's aid-de-camp, refuting' refut-ing' Gambetta's cbarge of treason, on the part of his superior. The letter concludes: 1 We capitulated to famine." fam-ine." The Prussians entered Metz at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, the French having previou.-iy laid down their arms at Grigney. The prisoners will go to Germany in small detachments. detach-ments. The conditions of capiiuiation include the fortress, the town, and all munitions, provisions and other property prop-erty of the state surround ng the forts; and all arms, wagons, &e., therein wili be undisturbed. The French officers have pledged themselves in writing not to re-engage in the war. They were allowed to retain their side aims and baggage for their courage shown in the defence of the city. London, 1. The Ind'pcmhnre Btlge, at Brussels, learns from an officer who escaped from Metz, and from the Moselle Independence, published pub-lished at Metz at the time of the entry of the German troops, the fact that the French leaders to the last deceived de-ceived the army by promises to get out. These promises were solemnly repeated, even while negotiations for surrender were progressing. The In-deprnd'nee In-deprnd'nee Jirljjc says Ganibetta was unquestionably right in charging Bazaine Ba-zaine with high treason. The population popula-tion of Metz were unanimous in denouncing de-nouncing Bazaine as a traitor. Alter the capitulation had been agreed on, the people followed the Marshal through the streets, howling the epithet epi-thet of "traitor'' iu his ears. At Tours the news of the capitulation capitula-tion of Metz, i'ell upon the government and people like a thunder bolt, so strong had been the official assurances of its safety. Some of the journals, however, and notably the Cunstituli'in-l Cunstituli'in-l Francois and (Jaxttr dc Juris, demand a suspension, and deprecate iu strong language Gambetta's proclamation proclama-tion condemning Bazaine. The latter journal suggests a council of war to investigate the matter, in order to give the marshall a fair opportunity to make his defence. The government at Tours is in receipt of several memorials, numerously nu-merously signed, from the adjacent departments, de-partments, urging the prosecution of the war to the bitter end, and denouncing Bazaine for his treasonable surrender ot the strongest fortress of the nation. Bazaine and suite reached Cassel on Monday. Generals Gen-erals Ganrobert, McMahon, Le Bouf, Bardeller and Ilauptmann were hourly expected there. The German authorities author-ities have given orders that the soldiers from Alsace and Lorraine, who were captured at Metz, as well as those who may hereafter be taken, be separated from the othor prisoners, as such will be regarded as German and not French. One corps of the army investing Metz has been detailed to escort the prisoners prison-ers to Germany. Two corps will go forward to join the armies around Paris, and the other four will be divided divi-ded between the two armies now operating oper-ating in the north and south of FVance. The Tiiins has a telegram from Versailles Ver-sailles announcing that Thiers had passed pass-ed through on Sunday, on his way to Paris. The general impression at London is that owing to the surrender of Bazaine, nothing is likely to come of the negotiations. nego-tiations. London, 31. The English proposition, proposi-tion, recommending the holding of election lor members of a constitutional assembly immediately, has reached the Prussian headquarters, and the Prussian Prus-sian authorities have already sent a similar tuiggestion to Paris. A proposition propo-sition of the Prussians for an armistice of forty-eight hours, in order to facilitate facili-tate the elections, was instantly rejected reject-ed by the Paris government. It is said the advice of an influential American Amer-ican hastened tho French rejection. Gambettn left Paris exnressly to prevent pre-vent the elections. Tours, 1. It is reported here that Bourbaki has resigned the command of the army of the North. He found H impossible to stem the current of '11 favor shown him in the north of Franco, since tho oanitulation of Bazaine. Ba-zaine. It is openly assorted that Bourbaki himself knew Bazaine's plan to surrender, and was a party to it, and only left Metz in advance to avoid the execration of his fellow-citizens. Reports that the French troops are still at Metz and refuse to be bound by Bazaine's capitulation continue to circulate here. |
