It seems to be true that the Emperor Napoleon, when solicited to return to Paris, replied that “he would return dead or victorious.” Houses, trees and all obstructions within 5,000 yards of the fortifications of Metz have been des- troyed. The Duc d’Aumale has offered his services to the Emperor Napoleon. A special despatch, dated Parts, midnight, gives the following account of the scene in and near the Corps Législatif yesterday:— Deputy Keratry demanded the deposition of the Emperor Napoleon. He wa; called to order by tne Chair. The Deputies then abandoned the hall and scattered to their committee rooms, Uutside a wild crowd was assembled, and refused to disperse. Bod'es of cavalry and lancers were stationed in all the ee streets. The court yard of the Tuileries was thronged with soldiery, Around the hall of the Corps Législatif the police repeatedly charged on the mob, but the latter reformed after each charge. Bodies of tho National Guard threw down their arms and fraternized with the populace. Other detachments renamed passive in their bar- rarforshat Paraguay @’Hflliers organized the troops, and the mob was everyWhere charged, The correspondent reports that as he was golng to post his despatches he heard the sounds of drums and bugles in every direction, Inside the hall of the Corps Légtsiatif the scone was one of fear and bewilderment.

Prussia is organizing a volunteer naval force. It 13 said that after the battle of the 6th the French abandoned their works in the greatest con- fusion. An ineifectual effort was made to check the Prussian advance at Niederbronn, which place was taken by the Bavarlans. The French continued to retreat towards Bitche, the Wartemburg cavalry picking up scores of pri- soners. Tho Tine of retreat was covered with dead and wounded. .The Prussians entered Haguenau early on the 7th, and soon after occupied Forbach and Saargemund. WAR FEELING IN T4E CITY. Yesterday the excitement throughout the city in regard tothe progress of the great European war was, if anything, more Intense than when the news of the lage Prussian victory first reached here., On every side there was growing cagerness to learn of movements since this battle. Bets wee -recly offered that the Prussian army would be in Paris within a week. Onthe contrary many expressed the opinion that if the command of the French lorces passes from Napoleon, the amateur soldier, to the veteran and experienced officers act- ing under bim, that there would be at once a change in the tide of French affairs, and that tho French army would speedily turn about and whip the Prusstaus. In fact, a3 regards the comments on the war tact cs of TRE ‘NEPHEW OF HIS UNCLE," there is no denying the fact that the popular senti- ment, excepting, of course, those trrepressibly en- thusiastic on the F'vench side, sets down Napoleon as a complete ana utter failure. Reiterated expression was een ‘on every side to the firm and unchangin; conviction that Napoleon’s career as Emperor of France fs about wound up, and the events of the war thus far transpliring will prove the sure stepping stone to the re-establishment of a republican govern- ment over the French peopie.

We give below brief sketches of the most promt- nent members of the new Ministry of France formed by Count de Paltkao. The members not sketched are as follows:—M. Grandperret ts the Minister of Justice, Procureur Generai of the Empire and a prominent lawyer of France, whose prosecution ot Prince Pierre Bonaparte for the murder of Victor Noir and recent report on the regiciae conspiracy are well known. M, Clement Duvernots, Minister of Commerce, to whose motion on Tuesday was due the downfall of the Ollivier Ministry, is a journalist of distinction, editor of Le Peuple Francais, mem- ber of the Corps Législatif. It will be noticed that the entire Ministry is taken from the Right, every member being a partisan Bonapartist. General Cousin ce Montauban, Count De Palikae. ‘This distinguished soldier, who has been called to the head of the French Ministry, is one of the firm- est adherents of Napoleon. Born on the 24th of June, 1796, he received a military education and was commissioned a lMoutenant in the army. He was sent to Algeria, where, Uke nearly all other French officers of eminence, he distinguished Dimself in battles with the Arab tribes. In 1836 he was promoted to tne rank of major, in 1843 became @ Meutenant colonel, ana tn 1845 was made @ colonel and placed al the head of the Second Ohasseurs, After the revolution of 1848 Colonel Montauban became a partisan of Louis Napoleon, who, in September, 1851, promoted him to the rank of brigadier genera! He was at this time in Algoria and remained there for some years after, increasing his reputation by the skill with which he conducted the war against the Kabyles, In 1855 he was made major general, and soon after returned to France, where he was placed in command of a military division. He diu not Participate either actively or conspicuously in tie Crimean or Italian wara, In 1860, however, he was sent to China in command of the French expeditionary corps, and at the head of tho combined Frerich and British forces made one of the most remarkable campaigns recorded in modern war- fare. His army did not exceed 8,000 men, and yet with this force he advanced boldly upon Pekin, rout- ing an immense army of Chinese at Palikao, after capturing the fortifications at the mouth of tho Peiho, and entering the capital on the 12th of Octo- ber, This almost wonderful feat brought the Chineso to terms. They concluded a treaty with the aliies, and soon after General Montauban and his) army with- drew. The general returned to France in 1861, after making @ tour through Japan. He was received with marked favor by the Emperor, who nad already named him Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and appointed him a Seuator of France. In January, 1862, he was further honored by having the titie of Count de Palikao conferred upon him, and about the same time Napoleon proposed to the Corps Légis- latif tho propriety of granting him a pension, General Montauban opposed the project, but the Emperor insisted upon it, and the Corps accordingly passed a law granting the pension. In 1865 he was appointed to command the Eighth Military Division of the empire, with hcadquarters at Lyons. As soon as the present war was declared he was ordered to Paris, and it was reported that he would head the expeditionary corps to the Baltic. His appointment in place of M. Ollivier ts an indication that Napoleon does not Intend to surround himself with other than partisans of the Bonaparte dynasty. Prixco Henri de la Tour d?Auvergne, Minister of Foreign Affairs. This Minister is descended from one of the most ancient and distinguished families of France, dating back from Alfred, created Count of Auvergne by Charles the Simpie, King of France, during the !atter part of the ninth century. Many of the members Were famous as statesmen or soldiers, and the entire lune has held a prominent position 1a France for nearly 1,000 years, The genealogical history of this family is a most interesting one, The subject of this sketch, Prince Hearl Godfrey Bernard Alphonse, is the chief or tne branch of Lauraquals, into which the house has merged, and is now known by the ttle of Prince de la Tour Auvergne-Lauraquais, He was born at Paris on the 284 of Octo»er, 1823, his fahter being Princo Cnarles MelctMor Philippe Ber- hard, At the time of the coup d'état in 1852 he was @ young man of twenty-nine years of age, and was distinguished for his abilities, diplomatic and other- wise. By promptly giving tn his adhesion to the empire he was received into the favor of tle Km- peror Napoleon, and after the lapse of a few years was named Senator of Franoe, holding that position with credit. In August, 1851, he married to Emilte Celeste de Montault des Les, by whom he had one child, a boy, born in Juno, 1852, His wife died at Florence on the 8th of March, 1857, and he has not married again. Beforo 1863 Prince de la Tour d’Auvergne held no special diplomatic position under the empire, although he frequently took an active part in the political affairs of France. On the 13th of October of that year, however, he was appointed Ambassa- dor Extradrdinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James, and in the December follow- ing arrived in London and presented his credenttals. Since then ne has held tnis distinguished position witi marked abliity. In all of the measures tn which the French government has taken part since his appointment he has been an active agent. To the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs he brings much experience, and will doubtless administer the duties of his office with a3 much skill and tact as any of his predecessors. Rigault De Genouilly, Minister of Marine, The newly appointed Minister of Marine 1s an ad- miral of the imperial navy. He was born at Roche- forton the 12th of April, in the year 1807, and ad- milted to the naval school of France in 1825. He en- tered the navy in 1830, was captain of a frigate in 1841, a member of the Admiralty in Paris in 1853, and Rear Adiniral of the naval brigade operating against Sebastopol in 1854. In the year 1856 he was despatched to command the fect in thé China seas and there co-operated withthe British at the cap- ture of Canton, in 1857. He was promoted Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1855 and created Senator in 1860. In the month of January, 1862, he took command of the squadron in the Mediterranean, and was named admiral January 27, 1864. He was Minister of Marine in 1867, The Admiral has paid much attention tothe development of the French tron-clad fleet and is @ practical as well asa scicn- tific oficer, He is a writer as well a3 a navizator, and has edited some tio or three popular works in Pails. Pierre Magne, Minister of Finance, was born at Perlgoux, December 3, in the year 1806, He is a self-made man, being of what is termed an “obscure” family. In 1831 he was admitted as an avocat, or attorney, and was patronized by Marshal Bugeaud, M, Fould noticed his peculiar ability and soon afterwards took charge of his political fortunes. He became a member both of the Constituent and Legislative Assemblies, in which bodies he was recognized as a practical man, al- though not much of a debating speechmaker. He retired to private life tn 1848, but was recalled to omcial position as Under Secretary of State for Finance in 1849. April 10, 1861, he was appointed Minister of Public Works, tn which office he was very successful during three or four years, He was an able advocate of railroad extension in France, and -during the interim inspected all the main lines already laid down in the empire and in other countries of Europe, adopting and suggesting improvements. From 1854 to 1860 he held the portfolio of Finance. In 1860 he was nominated Minister without @ portfolio, retired from the Cabinet in 1863, and was named a Privy Coun- cillor in April of the last named year. He ts a Sena- tor, aud wascommander of the Legion of Honor before he received the Grand Cross in 1854, M. Magne originated and conducted most of Napoleon's IN @nd there ts scarcely a lager beer saloon in which , great loans. Durlog hia absence from Paris at one Pertod the Empress Eugénie visited him and found him feeding & flock of chickens, Henrl Chevreau, Minister of the Iaterior. M. Chevreau was born at Bellevitio on tho 28th of April, 1823, He first appeared in public life in 1848, when he was defeated for the Constituent Assembly, because of ineligibility, Subsequently he was an active partisan of Louis Napoleon for the Presidency, and after the election, still being less than the eligible age, he was appointed Préfet Ardéche, On the 2d of December, 1851, he was one of the most zealous supporters of the coup d'état, and his devotion to the cause of Napoleon led to his Sppointment to the post of Secretary General of the ‘Minister of the Interior. In the events which led to the re-establishment of tho empire he bore a con- splouous part. On leaving the prefecture of Ardéche he was elected a member of the general council of that department. M. Chevreau was appointed Councillor of State in 1861, but in 1853 retired from the Mirtstry because ol dis- agreement with M. Persigny. He was afterwards Made pretect of Nantes. About the same time he was created Commander of the Legion of Honor. Since then he has been in the Corps Législatit one of the warmest adherents of the Bonaparte dynasty. His present position of Minister of the In- terior ts one of the most tmportant, and the ap oint- ment of M. Ohevreau to fill tt 1s a strong indication that there will be no backing down to the revolu- tlonary elements of Paris. Baron Jcrome David, Minister of Public Works. ‘This eminent statesman was born in Rome, June 80, 1822, He was appointed a captain soon after Joining the army, and as soon as he engaged in po- litical life he was speedily elected Mayor of Langon, and member of the General Council for the canton of St. Symphorien, He has ocoupied the position of member of the Corps Législatif for the Department of the Gironde since 1859, and has been a vice president of the Corps for several years, Joseph Brame, Minister of Publis Instruction. M. Joseph Brame, for a long time favorably known in French political circles, was born at Lilie January 1808, and was elected a member of the General inci! tor the Council of Czyooing. He was called to be a member of the Corps Législatif of the Department du Nord in 1857, and proving an acceptable representative to his constituency was re-elected in 1893, and again in 1869, He has since achieved a deserved reputation as the author of “L)’Emigration des Indes.” MINING DISASTER. Terrible Accident at Pottsville, Pa.—Twelve Men Precipitated Down a ShaftSix Work- men Killed. Porrs VILLE, August 10, 1870, At four o'clock this afternoon a cage in the shaft of Glassmier & Hines, Middleport, containing tweive miners, was precipitated to tho bottom, two hun- dred feet, by the giving way of the holstlag ma- chinery. The following were killed:— Thomas Quigly, George Storich, John Roper, Jacob Kline, David Jones and John Matthews, wounded, John McGurnley, E. Manuels, Hugh McAuniley and Albert Koch allt erribly, and William Matthews ana Patrick Day slightly. Several hours elapsed before the bodies oould bo brought ent of the shaft. A temporary cage had to be constructed to hoist the dead and mangled bodies to tho surface. A NEWARK SfAw A Queer Place to Find Human Kemains—Re- volting Spectacle on a House Top. Yesterday afternoon a party of German residents of Newark rushed to the police station of that city, and in & most excited manner went on to relate that the remains of several dead men had been discov- ered in barrels on top of a house, corner Springfield avenue and Jones sireet, under circumstances at once singular, mysterious and suspicious, The intensely agitated Teutons, in their anxiety to tell “the truth, the Whole truth and nothing but the truth,’ almost set Justice Dean crazy endeavoring to shape the foregoing ideas out of their extraordinary mix- ture of German and English. As soon as the magis- trate had realized their meaning he ordered that a couple of officers inquire inio the matter and bring before him some person who could make an affidavit Which would warrant the premises being searched. About seven o’ciock in the evening the oficers re- turned, accompanied by Mr. Valentine Knam, a butider and property owner, and Joseph Benz, one of nis workmen. It appears Knam owas the premises where he resides, Corer of Springfield avenue and Jones sireet, and rented the store on the ground floor toa druggist named Joseph P. Schulte, who is in Partn: sil with a Mr. Kornemann. Schulte is a inedical student and has a passion for surgery and the dissecting room, Some two months ago the man benz; wills king some repairs in the chim- ney on the top of the house, discovered two barrels which contained a large quantity of water aud THREE DEAD BODIES, two in one barrel and one in the other. upper part of the heads foated on the sur- face of the waiter, Benz, nearly frightened to death at what be had seen, rushed down from the roof and communteatcd the par- tculars of the revolting spectacle to his em- plover. Mr. Knam. It does not appear, however, hat the latter made any immediate stir about the matter, but recenily he had some quarrel with the druggist, and hence his efforts to expose the latter. ‘Tie oiicers found that the neighbors did complain of strange, unhealthy pestilence breeding smells, and that no doubt there was some reason for sts- pecting that the law of the community as well aa of deccncy had been transgressed; still Judge Dean did not fecl warranted in taking any further steps in the matter, as itis a subject, he thinks, that en- tirely comes under the supervision of the Board of Health, This body will doubtless give it their earilest attention. The A CHAPTER OF ACC.QENTS. A Man Shot by His Daughter, Another Daughter Bitten by a Dog and the Dog Killed by a Policeman. Last evening John Roach, residing at No. 802 Second avenue, was accidentally shot by his daugh- ter Fanny, a girl of sixteen, who was carelessly handling a pistol, which her father had pro- cured for the purpose of killing vicious dogs.
