The Saxons immediately gave them battle, and after a short and sharp encounter defeated them. These chasseurs were then found to belong to General Failly’s corps of MacMahon’s army. From this the proximity of Marsnal MacMahon’s army was inferred, This news was despatched prior to the imperlal surrender. ‘The letter concludes as follows:—MacMahon’s fate will be immediately decided, It will then be ascer- tained whether the Emperor ts really with him or not, and the fate of Paris may be predicted. AN INCIDENT OF THE CAMPAIGN. f A JELEORAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. The Emperor and His Marshal Hungry by the Wayst.'e—Sitting to Breakfast in o Farm House="Surprised by the Prussians Napoleon Jump’ to the Saddle and Awzy— A Narrow Escapes = LoxpoN, Sept, 8-10 A. M. A telegram, addressed specially to the HERALD, dated at Bouillon on the 8ist of Angust, in the evening, has just been received here for transmission to New York. ‘The HERALD correspondent narrates the fact that tus Majesty the Emperor Napoleon and Marshal ‘MacMahon,had had a very narrow escape from being captured by the Prussian soldiers a few days since. Napoleon and Marshal MacMahon met on the 29th of August, at a farmhouse situated between ,Stenay and Sedan, by order and arrangement of the Em- peror. ‘This house stands on the road side. ‘The two distinguished visitors ordered breakfast immediately after they entered. The meal was pre- pared at once apd served. His Majesty and MacMa- hon sat down to enjoy it, but they had scarcely com- menced to eat when the greater portion of two Prussian army divisions swept suddenly down on thelr temporary halting place and domicile. ‘The Emperor Napoleon realized the situation in aninstant. He appeared alarmed for a moment, and with very sufficient and good cause. His Ma- Jesty had barely time to hurry from the room, jump into the saddle on horseback, and ride from the place with the greatest haste towards the highway. His field charger stood him in good need and ex- cellent service in the emergency, for the Emperor only reached the common thoroughfare by the most feet exertion, just five minutes before the Prussian oficers with @ number of their soldiers arrived at the farmhouse. . ‘The French were wholly unaware of the approach of the Prussians and unprepared for it. General Remy, of the French army, kept no patrol or sconta in front of his advanced guard, so that there was really no military watch maintained to ensure the safety of either the Emperoror Mac- Mahon, and had not the advanced guard of the Prussians been weak in number at the moment there little doubt but that Napoleon, MacMahon and General Remy woud have been made prisoners.

A majority of the journals here Jook upon an attack on Paris as impossible now. The Prussians are not able to leave, with MacMahon and Bazaine and their immense forces in thetr rear. Paris, with the formidable preparations she has lately made, would require all the force the Prussians could bring against her, The Prussians could hardly hope for even partial success without exerting their utmost streugth. It 1s weil under- | stood now in Germany that Paris, instead of making peace will defend itself to the last extremity, a fact which will account for the Prussian change of plans.

A thuoder clap from an uncionded sky could scarcely cause more astonishment than did the intelligence whicn, heralded by @ horde of yelling, shouting newsboys, met our citizens alter break- fast yesterday. People retired to rest the previous night in the belief that France was rapidly recover- ing from the shock of her first disasters, and that a speedy triumph for MacMahon was mevitable, In- deed, the tenor of the telegraphic despatches favored the supposition. The cause of France seemed to be in the ascendant, while that of Prus- sia had a sombre colortug. It was noticed as a sign of the hour that the Kuglish journals—hostile to France from tie beginntng—-Wwere less abusive of the Emperor and his army than usual, and seemed puzzled as to which side of the fence was the safest. Then there was very little by tele- graph from Berlin contirinatory of despatches pre- viously received which announced Prussian victo~ nies, while the Gallic cock crowed lusttly from the ramparts of Paris. The most enthusiastic admirers of Prussia felt that the condition of the German armies was at least very critical and the SYMPATHIZERS WITH FRANCE Were loud tn their boasts that the tide had turned in favor of Napoleon and bis army. Altogether there was much of despondency in German circles in this city on Friday, and a good deal of exultation among the friends and admirers of ia belle France, But what an awakening for all yesterday, the great em> pire of France, victorious in two great struggles, tr- umphant in diplomacy, and for years the arbiter of Europe, lay crushed and broken, whilg he, the chief of State, at whose frown nations were wont to twemble, was declared by the unsympathetic fash that sped from the Ola to the New World to be a prisoner in the hands of the hitherto despised Prus- sians! Such an event Was sufficient to set the world ina blaze of excitement; and no doubt it has, Here in the city, when the astounding news became known, the greatest excftemgent prevailed. Freuch- men, and those who since the yar broke out openly expressed their sympathy with France, refased to accept the intelligence as truth, ‘oudiy asserting that the despatches were concocted for sfockjobbing purposes, while the Germans all over the gity gave way to wild enthusiasm. WALL STRERT, which is the financtal pulse of ihe city and nation, was alive with gossippers all day; usually sober minded men runuing around communicating the news, and serving to spread the contagious excite- ment still further, and Knots of people gathered ta the various public ofices and on various street cor- ners to discuss the situation. Everywhere was heard expressions of astonishment at the sudden collapse ofthe Freuch empire and the uninterrupted suc- cesses of the armies of King William, and, outside the Germans, who of course were jubilant, a good deal of sympathy for prostrate France was uttered, Tt was ratuer curious lo watch tne antics of the bulls and bears IN THE GOLD ROOM when the news was iirst announced.

Tiles that cost the amount of interest on a countryman’s margin were smashed remorselessly, and soft hats capable of sustaining a bombardment were above par.

But while all this enthustasm was venting itself amoung the German bankers and brokers the natives of France were overcome with gloom and despond- ency.

Jt all came to the point, however, which was stated in the HERALD many weeks ago, that the jealousy between the Germans and the French has been existing for the last two hundred years, and has been fought out at last, as if must have been, even if this war had not have come to such o point as soon as it did.

Hoboken was the first of our cities to pronounce in favor of Prussia at the opening of the war, and Hoboken is the first to celebrate the triumph of the German arms. That snug little retreat of the Teu- tonic race was in a blaze of excitement yesterday. Up went the flag of the confederation on every steamship lying at the wharves. The ferryboats ap- peared as if they were chartered by Germany for the occasion, for they were overspread with flags, large and smali. In fact more pains were taken to give expression to the sympathy of the Hoboken Land and Improvement Company than any of our own nattonal festivais, When the first announcement of the final and complete victory Was made there was such a stir and bustle THROUGH THE STREETS that the poor, silent teamster, wendlug his quiet Way, realized at ouce that something was in the wind, The threats and boasts of a few days ago gave place to exultation, With the German clement WORK WAS SUSPENDED, and the lager beer gardens soon were thronged, The Union Hill and West Hoboken folks had the news half an hour afterwards, and crowds poured from these villages into the city below, and then rol- lowed hurrahs, shouts of congratulation, songs, rattling of aruins, firiag of guns and revolvers, and suck a continuous juouation altogether ax Hoboken has never been the scene of velore.

These are the men — names wil be beard in many a chorus here- after, THE TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION last night was very laposiug. The procession passed through the principal streets, and was greeted by il- luminations, Chinese lanterns and,boutires al along the line. The New York Turners as they passed along presented a fine appearance. The juvenile cadets were under the command of Captain Hermann Bennecke, who surveyed his little squadron with apparently as much pride as if they were returning from the fleld of victory. They wili encamp for nine days at Union Hill. As the gay, proud youths marched steadily along, with heads erect and evi- dently proud of the ovation that was being tendered to them, with their guns, Kuapsacks and other habil- iments of the “men of war,’ It was Unposstble to stifle the reflection that Germany will become now, more than ever, A GREAT MILITARY POWER, having no rival in Europe, except, peraps, Russia. When these youths glory in their arms, though far away from Fatherland, they prove that thetr sym- patties, their likes, dislike jolves, Urals and tri- amphs are in unison with those in the Jand of their fathers and that a common cause binds them in bar- mony and brotherhood. One imcident in the celebrationt{deserves especial notice. A wagon bearing aloitthe Prussian flag had THE STARS AND: STRIPES TRAILING IN THE DUST, when two stalwart individuals jumped upon the wagon and, after a determined but brief tussle with the occupants of the vehicle, placed the Star Span- gied Banner in an upright position, one of them ex- clanning, “No rotten monarchy can ever frown op tat flag.” THE HAMBURG AND BREMEN STEAMSHUIPS were also centres of attraction. Salutes were fired, rockets hissed, tlreworks Were displayed and ban- queting on @ sinali Scale was carried on, The crowd which surged through the streets wheeled down here and there to the river to witness the display, ‘They were exulting, but not defiant. A grin anda laugh here and there at the expense of a French sympathizer was the only expression dir against those who are termed “stck.’’ THE FRENCH RESIDENTS were, of course, quite crestiallen, One gentleman with whom the HERALD representative entered into conversation remarked that it is one thing to de- stroy a French army, but quite a different thing to subdue the French people, He is confident that all is not over yet, By and by the Bavarians and Sax- ons may tremble for their liberties at the tect of the victorious Prassian King, who will bear away the palm of victory and take the exclusive benefits of its results, The Germans of Baden and Wurtem- burg also will find when too lave that they have been mere tools in the hands of this wily King, who im- posed on their enthusiasm and love of Fatherland for the purpose of promoting his own ambicious designs. The Jubilation tu Newark. ‘The reported surrender of Napoleon and capitula- tion of MacMahon’s forces at Sedan was the ali-ab- sorbing theme of discussion at Newark yesterday, from early in the forenoon until midnight. at first the news was regarded a9 @ huge and infamous hoax, but later in the day when it received what appeared to be eutire confirmation the sensation created was profound. While the Teutonic element fairiy effervesced with delight at the suecess of King William and “Our Fritz,” the community at large view the situation as one calculated to put a speedy stop to the wholesale carnage and appalling loss of life which has taken place in the last few weeks, Inthe afternoon all the local papers and hundreds of “extra?

Austrian and Russian Interests im the Settlement. of the Germaas in America, Action TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. LONDON, Sept. 3, 1870. Intense excitement 18 eansed here to~day by the news of the surrender of the Emperor Napoleon, with the army of Marshal MacMahon to the King of Prussia at Sedan. This important event took place y ‘day, as the King’s telegram announces, at balf-past one P. M. The surrender of the army was made by General De Wimpffen, a cousin of the Geueral De Wimpffen of the Prussian army. Marshal MacMahon was severely wounded, ex posing himself with heroic bravery ww the victorious combat of Wednesday. A private telegram from Brussels informs me that King William was profoundly overcome when the Emperor's proffer of surrender was brought to him by General Count Lepic, one of the imperial aida, its Majesty appoin'ed a meeting at once, and ex- | hibited the most considerate courtesy. Jt was not fully known by the Prussians that the Emperor was with the army until the surrender wax proposed by him. It is said that the Emperor in- sisted upon the surrender of the army against the urgency of the younger officers, as he was so much shocked by the fearful slaughter of Wednesday and Tharsday. It i# beheved the residence of the Elector of Hesse- Cassel wil be assigned vo him by King William, THE PRINCE IMPERIAL. ‘The Prince Imperial crossed the line into Belgium on Wednesday and was received by the Prince of Caramen, who married a French lady de Fezonsac, and conducted to the chateau of the Prince's father, the Prince of Chimay, at Chimay, in Hamanit. He will probably proceed to Paris at once, unless a revolution should break out there, PARIS STILL AND CALM Thave nothing new from Paris. It is extraordinary that this morning nothing was known in Paris publicity of the Emperor's sarrender. it 18 almost impossible to divine what the result in that city of the news willbe. It is hoped in Loped in London that the war fever will abate there on this decisive news, But Sore fear than hope is felt. THE PEACE. It 1s given oat from the Prasstan embassy here that the King of Prussia is prepared to abandon the claim of an Indemnity on the condition that he shall be allowed to take poesession of Alsace and part af Lorraine, 111s understood that Austria and Russia oppose this settlement, but that England favors it, and that if France refuses England will join Prussia to abbreviate tue war. Above all things, the ontbreak of a republican , Movement in France ts deprecated. ; lets understood the King of Prossta is prepared to treat on the basis of the abdication of Napoleon ww favor of the Prince Imperial. The Crown Prince is openly opposed to extreme terms, and in favor of recognizing the Bonaparte dynasty, ‘ STRASHOURG AND METZ. It is hoped Strasbourg and Mets will at once pliulate, to avoid prolonged horrors of war; but ail depends on Paris. IN BELGIUM. It is estimated there are between fifteen and twenty thousana French and Prussian straggiers in Belgium, who have all been disarmed and sent to Nanuer and Bruges. BERLIN AND LONDON. Berlin and Brussels, as well as London, are in % state of immense excitement. A vast crowd moved through that Unter-den-Lin- den, in Berlin, this afternoon, and went to the Schloss singing the national anthem, and the Queen’s Chamberlain came out with her Majesty on the balcony and read the King’s despateh. ENGLISH ARMY OPINION. Itis thought here at the military clubs that the French troops never fought so magnificently as tm thhese late batties, but the testimony of all obsery- ers is that they were most abominably supplied with both provisions and ammunitions, and not at alt well handied by the divisional commanders under MacMahon. It 1s reported that Gereral Failly, who lost the bat. Ue of Woerth by an asserted mistake in a telegraph, and who ts said to have lost the battle of Thursday by abandoning a hill which he was ordered and was able to hold, was charged with treachery in the open field by one of his cotonels and shot dead from his horse with a pistol. He 8 certainly killed, tt is said. Of the conduct of the Germans there is but one opinion, that their campaign las been simply per- fect, THE WEATHER YESTERDAY. ‘The following record will show the changes in the | temperature for the past twenty-four hours in com- parison with the corresponding day of last year, ax | indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut’s phar- macy, Heeany Ballding:— 1s 89. 1870, 1869, 1870. 5576 73 BOMg 56 5 +7 86 62 81 a 12M 66 8645 Average temperature yesterday.
