THE YORK HERALD, RICHMOND HILL, ONT., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1870. Franco-Prussian War. LONnON, Oct. 29th.â€"â€"Yesterday the Prus- Iiaus made an attempt to cut the line of communication between Amiens and Rouen. They Were beaten off without accomplishing their object. There was a slight skirmish at Nomerie. esterday, in which the French were success- nl. Seine houses were burned from artil- lery fire. The Prussians were at last driven from the field, with the loss of one gun. The Times has a telegram describing the scenes around Metz at the time of surrender. A frightful storm had raged for several days all over the north of France, The entire country was under water and everything was literally drowned out. Tire telegraph lines were prosti‘aled in all directions. M. Thiers, accompanied by Count de Re» tmuset, has arrived at Lyons. Both have cafe conducts to enter Paris. The Prussian force of 12,000 men which tried to cut the Amiens and Rouen railroad 'nt Formieire, were repulsed after a severe fight with the Mobile and National Guards, and retreated on Songeons. The Mobiles ftook one gun. The Prussians in retreating fired the village with torches and petroleum. "The Orleanist peace party counts as its leaders M. Thiers, Grevy, Guizot, Montpay- aux and Lefevre. The balloon post has ceased for more than on week. The spoils captured at Metz include 3,000 -:guus, forty millions of francs of the French war fund, and twenty millions of the French CiVil Government department funds. LONDON, Oct.30.â€"â€"M. Thiers has declined 19. Prussian safe conduct to Paris because it re uires him to go via Versailles. he French troops that surrendered at Metz have been disarmed. The Prussians refused to parole the oflicers, because of General Duerot’s evasion of his obligations. Provisions were divided in large quantities at Metz. A balloon, which left Paris on the 27th, fell within the Prussian lines near Metz. The messenger succeeded in burning the mails and made his escape into Belgian. It is estimated that the Germans have taken up to the present day 320,000 French prisoners. TOURS, Oct. 29.â€"â€"Gen. Garibaldi is still acting on the offensive. He will continue the attack so successfully begun. Germans here express great satisfaction with the decree lately issued, whereby all offences against the press law will hereafter be tried by jury. Prince Polignac, who served as a Briga- dier-General in the Confederate army, has received an appointment to an important command in the army of Garibaldi. He departs for the east at once. The journals announce that Gen.Cambriel has been compelled to relinquish his com- mand in the army of the cast, because of the re-opening of a wound received at Sedan. Owingr to the rumour of Bazainc’s capito- lation, Minister Gainbctta has issued a Cll‘~ cular to the Prefects saying-«I have received f in all sides :1" 6 reports, the veracity of hich, in spite of It efforts, I cannot estab- lish qfiicrally. It is said that 'Metz has capitulatect; if so, it is well that you should have the opinion of the Government on the matter.

V (Signcd,) WILLIAM. LONDON, Oct. 3l.â€"A letter dated at Ver- sailles, 25th, says. it has rained incessantly for two davs, and the ground is slippery and muddy; a'sorlic is supposed impossible at present. Since Friday not a gun has been heard, and perfect quietness prevails. A report prevailed this morning that the Ger:- man communications were broken by Gari- baldi, that rails were destroyed, and trains smashed. This afternoon, I met an acquain- tance from Rheims, who had travelled all the way from Epcrnay: every train, he said, had been destroyed. He reported fighting going on at Paris on Friday. LoNncN, Nov.1.»-â€"The decline in the stock- niarkctyesterday is'said to be. in consequence of the fact that a Cabinet meeting was called for the. purpose of considering what steps should be taken in regard to the, continued and formidable armaments of Russia. It is stated that Russia has now 500,000 men under arms and ready to take the field in the western Provinces of the Empire. The story ofa secret treaty between Prussia and Rus- isia relative to the Eastern Question has been received at Vienna with much feeling and a good deal of circumstarrtiality. It is now alleged that in the. event of a peace humiliat» ing to France, Prussia has bound herself by a secret treatv to support the revision by Europe of theitreaty of Paris and the liber- ation to Russia of the Black Sea with the Dardenelles. This is expected to be the price demanded by Russia for permitting Germany to move untrammellcd upon France. It is further affirmed that as Russia does not care to have the fulfilment of this treaty till the close of the War she is now insisting that in the treaty with France, Prussia shall-not sc- cure either fortresses or a serious reinforce- ment of hcr’strength on this side of the Rhine. Russian diplomatists regard it as essential to the safety of Poland and the progress of the Russian Empire westward, that Germany shall be left more or less ex4 posed to peril from the aide of France. _ In short, it is believed in Vienna, and the Signs are that it is beginning to be believed in London, that Russia, having led .Germany on thus far in the war until her primary ob- ject, the prostration of France, has been accomplished even more completely than was ever hoped or expected, has meanwhile been preparing herself quietly. and 1S now prepared to exert such a pressure on both combatants as shall secure to her all her objects in the east without imperilling her European weight. The Germans will open the bombardment of Paris with 250 siege guns. Bazainc’s order of the day announcing the capitulation of Metz is published.

The recent Radical demonstrations held in the western part of Ontario, by Messrs. McKenzie, McKellar, Blake and others, at which they have fully carried out the orders given by the “ great poli- tical Mogul,” whose servants they are and whose orders they have ever obeyed, has for some days attracted the attention of the press of the Province. The hum- bug raised by these ranting politicians has ended in vapor, for they have been crying “ wolf” so frequently, that no one puts any credence in what they advance. Such is the position of thc immaculate Globe and its clique at the present time; they hope to accomplish by agitation that which they have never succeeded in doing by fair logical discussion on the floor of the Local Legislature, or in the House of Commons. They have, and are look- ing with longing eyes to the Treasury benches of both Houses, and are longing to exchange places with the present occu- pants, It is astonishing What an amount of sophistry they bring forward to prove that John Sandfield McDonald’s admin- istration is not a most economic govern- ment, and not the most. efficient that we have ever known in Canada. It is not that they have committed any fault, but that they are a body of superior men from both sides of politics, who love their country more than party strife, and are ready to sacrifice party schisms for the common interest of our country; they have done their work nobly. There was a time when the thunders of the Globe and the harangucs of the political dema- gogues of the Globe, could almost turn men’s heads and make them fear lest the country, which, according to them, was on the verge of ruin and bankruptcy, ere their friendly arms could be held out to avert the dreaded disaster. It must be exceedingly annoying to these agitators to find that the ruin they have so fre- SABBATH SCHOOL TEAcunRs’ Asso- CIATION.â€"â€" The Yonge street, Sabbath School Teachers' Association held their annual meetingon Thursday, 27th Octo- ber, in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, Thornhill, when the following officers were elected for the ensuing year :â€"The Rev. Jas. Dick, President; J. Purkiss, Esq, Secretary; W. Wilson, Esq, Treasurer. The reports of the retiring Secretary and Treasurer were read and adopted. Moved and carried, that the next. meeting of the Association be held in the vestry of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, Richmond Hill, on the second Wednesday of January, 1871, at the hour of 7o’clock, P.M. ’A vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to the retiring President, P. Patterson, Esq., for his services during the past year. Forty- three persons were then entertained to a sumptuous tea provided by the ladies of Thornhill, after which, the audience adâ€" journed to the Church, where they were favored With music from the children of the Sabbath School. The President then called on Mr. G-arton to address the au- dience who treated on secular education and of his Sabbath School days. Mr. Smith was next called on, who, as a muâ€" sician, congratulated the children on their good singing. Rev.C.Fish,0n rising,called the attention of the audience to part of a sermon, by Waldo Abbot, relating to the ruling of unruly boys, which was well News Summary Troops are leaving Madras for China. Wooden huts haVe been sent to the army before Paris. All the foreigners in Paris have been off- ered passes to leave the city. The Government at Tours has accepted Gen. Bourbaki’s resignation. Gambetta’s proclamations and circulars are bitterly condemmed in France. Mazzini has been ordered by the Italian Government to remain in Leghorn. The Landwehr doing duty with the army at Metz will be disbanded and sent home. The escape of Paul Cassagnac from the Prussians and his arrival at Vienna are con- firmed. It is reported that the Pope, in deference to the advice of all the Powers, will remain at Rome. The Marquis of Gallifet has arrived at Wilhelmshoe. The health of the Emperor is improving. ' The British Channel Squadron has been ordered to embark as much provisions as can be stowed under the hatches. The Czar of Russia has conferred upon Von Moltke the Order of St, George, the highest military decoration of Russia. The Germans deny the Fiench report of a victory at Montbeliard, asserting that there are no German troops in that vicinity. The emigration last year was the largest, excepting 1854, that ever left this kingdom; the number was 258,026, of these 203,001 went to the United States. Schlestadt, which has capitnlated, is situ- ated on the left bank of the Ill, twenty-six received. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 o’clock, after having spent a profit- able evening. “ SONGS or SCOTLAND.”â€"â€"Mr-.Angus Fairbairn, With his party, according to announcement in our last issue, gave one of his Scottish entertainments in the l in our town, on Tuesâ€" The attendance was _ ., state of the roads are oudidel‘ation. Mr. Fairbairn, when he appeared, was very warmly rc- ccived and secured for himself, by sing- ing some of the most. popular Scottish airs, a deserved and happy reception on Richmond Hill. His rendering of Scot- tish music proves him to be one of the best Scottish musicians in the country. His figure, voice and dialect, are pre- cmincntly adapted for an entertainment of this kind. In addition to the musical part of the entertainment, Mr. Fairbairn very happily..interspersed the songs with characteristic descriptions and anecdotes qucntly predicted has never yet occurred. It must be very annoying to them, that, notwithstanding the gross mismanage- ment of the country, to find that Ontario with appersonation rarely to be met with. girbairn’s entertainment seemed very popular miles southwest of Strasbourg. It is a very old Town, and has a population of 10,000. Mr. Ruskin having been written to on his views as to woman suffrage, replies :â€"“ So far from wishing to give votes to women, I would fain take them away from most men.” The Government of Victoria having failed to make arrangements with the New Zea]- aud Government for the conveyance of the mails via San Francisco, will not. make up any mails for that rOnte for the present. The Pope has formally suspended the ses- sion of the (Ecumenical Council. The J.i< bilee proclaimed in honor of the Council however, is not suspended. A circular ha.l just been issued by the Italian Government, protesting against the rumors ofill-treatment of the Pope. A correspondent who has been much at Llaridudno during the past six months, and just come from it says:-â€"â€"“Mr. Bright is looking much improved, and he is able to bathe daily: His hair is quite white, but his face has lost much of that redness which alarmed his friends.” A veteran died at Sheffield lately,named John Elliot; Heeutered the navy at eleven years pjd, and fought all through the naval campaign, which terminated at Trafalgar, with Nelson.

The half-breeds appear to be con- tent with what he has done hitherto, and there is a pacific feeling spreading through- out; the Settlement that speaks well for the wisdom of his measures. No trace of Scott’s body has yet been found, but it is the intention of the French settlers to erect a monument over what- was supposed to have been his grave, which is situated a few paces in front of the north end of the shore, inside the quadrangle of the Fort. The Lieutenant Governor has appointed the following gentlemen to form aBoard of Health :â€"-â€"- The Right Rev. the Bishop of Rupert’s Island ; The Right Rev. the Bishop of St. Boniface; The Hon. Mr. Boyd; The HOU- MI‘. Girard; Colonel Cassault, 2nd Batt. Quebec Rifles; Major Wainright, 1st Batt. Ontario Rifles; Donald A. Smith, Governor of the Hudson Bay Company; Major Robin SOD, Acting U. S. Consul; The Rev. Mr. Black; The Rev. Mr. Young; Dr. Shultz; Dr. Beddome; Dr. O’Donnell. Twenty policemen and peace officers have also been appointed, besides fifteen justicess of the peace. The Province has been divided into the following districts for census purposes :â€" No.1. From United States boundary line to the north line of the parish of St. Boniface, including both sides of the river, but excluding Oak Point. No. 2. From the north line of St. Boni- face to the church at the rapids, including both sides of the river. No. 3. From the church at the rapids to Lake Winnipeg, including both sides of the river, and also any outlying settlement on Lake Winnipeg within the Province. No.4. The parishes of St. James, St. Charles, Headingly, St. Francois Xavier, and Oak Point, (German Creek.) No. 5, All that part of the settlement lying to the west of the parish of St. Fran- cois Xavier, including the settlements on Lake Manitoba within the Province. Two enumerators have been appointed for each district; the one French and the other English; and the returns to the Lieut.-Gov- ernor are to be made in both languages. The enumerators are to work together, but independently of one another. By this ar- rangement a fair and correct return should be secured. Smallpox is disappearing as the weather grows colder, and no further danger of its spreading is apprehended. Traders say that the Indians along the Saskatchewan have been decimated. The Indians are very quiet, and seem to have fairly settled down to the new order of things. They have behaved remarkably well throughout. The Fort has been afllct- ed with the presence of numbers of them in a state of fighting intoxication, and street brawls have been of nightly occurrence. I am glad to say the volunteers are well and behaving themselves to the satisfaction ofall. Mr.Harrison. of Belleville, an officer of the 49th Battalion,on a visitto the Settle- ment, was feted the other night by his old comrades in the Ontarios. The prospect for the winter is encourag- ing. The troubles seem to be over and the work of arrangement is proceeding very satisfactorily. 'I‘HE TEA CHEST.

He has made himself the agent of the man of Sedan and the accomplice of the invader, and re- gardless of the honor of the army of which - he had charge, he has surrendered without even making the least effort, one hundred and twenty thousand men, 20,000 wounded, guns, cannons, colours, and the strongest citadel of Franceâ€"Metz. Such a crime is above even the punishments of justice.â€" Meanwhile, Frenchmen, measure the depths of the abyss with which the empire has pre- eipitated you for twenty years. France sub- mitted to this corrupting power, which ex- tinguished in-her the springs of greatness and of life. The army of France, stripped of its national character, became without knowing it an instrument of tyranny and of servitude. and was swallowed up in spite of the heroism of the soldiers by the treason of their chiefs. In the disaster of the country in less than two months 250,000 men have been delivered over to the enemy, a sinister sequel to the military coup (1’ main of De- cember. It is time for us to rc-assert our« selves citizens, and under the ages of the Republic which we have determined not to allow to capitulate, within or without, to seek in the extremity even of our misfortune, the preservation of our political and social morality and manhood, however tried by disaster. Let us be found neither panic: stricken nor hesitating. Let it be seen that we are ready for the last sacrifices, and in the face of enemies whom everything favors, let us swear never to give up so long as there remains an inch of sacred soil under the soles of our feet. Let us hold firmly the glorious banner of the French Revolution. Our cause is that of justice and of right. Europe sees it! Europe feels it in the pre- sence of so many uninerited misfortuiiesl Receiving from us neither invitation nor en- couragement, she is moved, and she begins to act. No illusion is now left. Let; us no longer languish or grumble, but let us prove by our acts that we can ourselves maintain honor, independence. integrity, and all that makes a country proud and free.

Barn deller and Hauptmann were hourly expected there. The Gei man authorities have given orders that the soldiers from Alsace and Lorraine who were captured at Metz, as well as those who may hereafter be taken, are to be sepa- rated from the other prisoners, as such will be regarded as Germans and not French. One corps of the army lately investing Metz has been detailed to escort the prisoners to Germany. Two corps will go forward to join the armies around Paris, and the other four will be divided between the two armies now operating in the North and South of France. A correspondent with Garibaldi writes on the 27th October from St. Juan de Dol :â€"I arrived here last night. I had not seen Garibaldi since the evening of Montana, and the alteration in him is striking. His figure is bent with rheumatisrn,and his body is thin, but his face is as calm and bright as ever. We had a, two hours’ talk. His position is peculiar. He arrived at Tours simultaneous- ly with Gambetta. The letter was not over pleased with the ovation to Garibaldi. They had an interview there, and Garibaldi wrote to Gambetta:â€"” I see I have made a mis- take; I am useless and shall return ;” but that would not have suited the people, so they gave him the command of the depart ment ofthe Jiira. flu is reported to have l0,000 men; in reality he has not 5,000. and thev are Spanish, Italians and Frenchâ€"a, mongrel crew.

I said, “ General, if you call they come.” He re plied in the. gravest voice, “That is what I cannot do; it would be too heavy a rcspon Sibility; each must come on his own account.” Yesterday he h.id decided to return to An- canges, but during the night there came news that 6,000 Prussians were concentrated, so Garibaldi left word that he should stay. LONDON, Nov. l.â€"The report that an at- tempt lrad been made by the French Tireurs to kill the King of Prussia. is contradicted. Gen. Von Roon is not wounded. Prince Frederick Charles issued a procla- mation t0 the army on the occupation of Metz, and departure of the troops for other fields of action, in which he says :â€" Soldici's,â€"â€"I recognize your bravery, obe- dience and calmness. Your chcerfulness and devotion in the dangers and difficulties of the situation were incalculable. You proceed to new triumphs. For the present, farewell.
