I was therefore there-fore reduced to the sad alternative of creating with the enemy. I was sent yesterday to the Prussian headquarters with full power from- the Emperor, but could not at first bring myself to accept the conditions imposed by the enemy. Thi? morning, however, menaced by a bombardment to which we could not rally, I decided to make a fresh attempt at-tempt to get honoiable terms. I have obtained conditions by which we are saved as uiuch. as possible the annoy-In? annoy-In? and insulting form ilities which the usages of war generally impose. Under the circumstances iu which we find ourselves, it on y remains for,us officers and soldiers, to accept with resignation the consequences of this surrender. We have at least the consolation of knowing that a useless ma-sacre has been avoided, and that we yielded under un-der circumstances asainst which no army could fight, namely, the want of food and ammunition. Now, soldiers, in conclusion let me say that you are still able to render brilliant services to your country, without beiDg needlessly slaughtered. The General commanding in chief, De Wimpfen. The Duke de Grammont arrived in London yesterday to j 'in ids wife, having escaped from France by the way of Havre. The Duke is very communicative, com-municative, and expressed himself very freely in regard to the present situation of France. The Duke states that the present revolutionary government govern-ment in Paris cannot last, and predicts pre-dicts its speedy fall. All the recent tests, he said, prove that its members have not got the confidence of the people. The men now iu power are those whose efforts heretofore have been directed to embarrass the real government and assure the failuio of the war. The Duke declares the Republican Re-publican agents all the time were at work endeavorine to shake confidence and destroy discipline, and he attri butes the loss of several hattles fought siuce the commencement of the war to that cause. In reply to the question as to whether he thought foreign governments gov-ernments would recognijs the Republic, he said he did not see how they could do so. To-morrow another batt'h might get up and declare themselves a provisional government, assume the power and involve tho city in bloodshed. blood-shed. The appearance of the Prussians Prus-sians before the city might bo the signal for the overthrow of the present sed'-constituted ministry allll l'ie cl'ca" tion of another. The Duke expressed the utmost confidence con-fidence in Trochu, but fears he may not be permitted to nave his own way. Ho believes France may yet be able to vindicate her honor and exp -1 the Prussians from her territory. He declined de-clined to express any opinion as to the future fate of the Emperor or his dvnastv, but evidently believes that the Republic will have but a briwf existence.
