I have learned since that the Crown Priuce had cessed the Mense during the night, about tve ues from Sedan, sad this had pot been known to MacMahon, A large force of Bavamans must @lso Lave arrived after the commencement of the battle, for it was Bavarian troops who began pounding es trom the left, At half-past ten tho advance of the Prussians was ore on both wings. At the same ime some French infantry which was close to the town on the east side gave way, a3 it seemed ‘to me, rather quickly. Soon after shells were com- ing behind my left, and it became evident that the French position had been turned, and that a fresh German corps had taken position in our rear, The reserves were now obliged to be directed agalust those pomte, The battery near where I stood was already im action, and I thought it quite timeto aretreat; this place was becoming as dangerous as any in the field.

It was first a retreat and too soon aroat. I thought myself lucky to get sway from the field as I did, for an hour aflerwards the rout of those forces near by was complete. Already soldiers were crashing against each other in the struggle to get inside the town. Dismounted cavairy were trying (0 make their way even by the ramparts, leaping down from the coun- terscarp; others forcing thelr way in by the postern gates from a nook of the ramparts, As | rested a moment I saw the curlassiers jumping, horses and aii, into the moat, the horses breaking their logs and ribs; men were scrambling over each other; oilicer3s ‘of ail ranks. colonels and evea geverals in uniform 28 was impossibicto mistake, mixed In this shameful behind ali came guns with their heavy car- Fiages and powerfu! horses forcipg their way into ‘the throng, maiming and crushing the fugitives oa To add to the coniusion and horror the Prus- Datteries bad by this time advanced to within Fange and the in shells began failing into the mudst struggling masses of men.

Most luckily the re did not at this moment enilade this Street; for a train of filled with powder, blocked the whole way, itself unable to move back- ward or forward. There was every chance that these caissons woud explode, the town being then fre in two places, and I began to ¢uink that Was a place more uncomfortable than even ‘the battle field over which a victorious enemy was swiftly adv: ‘ancing. From friends whom 1 found at the hotel I learned Shat we Emperor, who had started early in the morning for the fiela of battle, had returned about the aame time I did, and psased through the streets ‘witn his staff. One of my friends was hear him on the Place Turenne when a shell fell under his horse and bnresting killed the horse of a general who was behind him. He himself was untouched, and turned round and smiled, thougn my friend thought he saw in his eyes, which he wiped away with his glove, aud indeed he had cause enough for tears that fatal Ist of September. Meantime shells began to fail in tho direction of our street and hotel. We all stood under the vaulted stone entrance as the safest shelter we could find. 1 trembled for the caissons still standing in the street and filling all the space from end to end. It was at this time, while we waited watching painfully for the shell which would have sent us altogether into another world that General Wimpfien came past, making a vain effort to rally and (eld his fly’ troops. He shouted ‘Vive la ce? en ai but there was no response, He out that Bazaine was taking the Prussians io he rear. This news, which had been current all the Morning, at intervals, coming now from the mouth of General De Wimpifen came to be believed and a Sew thousand men were rallied and followed him out of the town. People began to have hope, and for one brief Moment we believed the day might yet be saved. Alas! need Ieay that the intelligence was a patri- otic falsehood of brave General Winnpffen, Mad with anguish end in direct opposition to the Em- peror’s orders le has resolved to rally what men he could and make @ stand.

Tins is what took ce in the sortie, They went out at the Porte de in. The houses of the suburb are already full of who fire on the French out of every window. ‘The church especially is strongly garrisoned; the hheavy doors are closed. The General sent off de Guiroye to fetch two pieces of cannon. These soon arrived, and with them the door of the church was diown in, Twohundred Prussians were captured and brought back with the French, who, spite of all efforts, were soon obliged to re- fire again into the town. It was tiie dast incident of the battle—the last struggle While this took place at the Porte de Balan the shelling Went on and the shells began to fal into the hotel. Shocking scenes followed. A boy, the son of a tradesman rourd the corner of the street, cate in crying and asking for a surgeon, saying his father’s leg had been shot oft. Hi i 8 § 5 weit HH He in front of the house met the same fate. The doctor who went to the trades man found him dead, and returning alsempted to carry the woman to an ambulance.

Interview Between Napoleon aad Bismarck— Their Meetmg=Napoleon Declares He Hans No Power to Make Pence—His Desire to Sce the King Not Granted. Lonpon, Sept. 6, 1870, Dr. Russell writes to the 7émes irom Sedan, the 8d:— When the Emperor, who had passed the weary hours of the night, looked out in the early morning, he beheld a forest of stee! aud tron on the valley and billtops, batteries posted on every eminence, cavalr, in all the platns and as faras his eye could reac! the hosts of embattled Germans, his decision was taken, At last, attended by a few of his staff, on horseback, his Majesty proceeded along the road trom Sedan in a brougnam. Count Bismarck was in bed in his quarters at Donchkery, when an officer rushed in and announced that the Emperor was coming to meet him and to see the King. Count Bismarck rose and dressed hastily, you may be sure, in the white peeree cap with yellow band, dark uniform coat with metal but- tons and yellow facings, and hastened to meet the Emperor. He was in time to stop the cortege out- side of the town. Iwas away on the field and, therefore, cannot of my own personal knowledge state what occurred. As his Majesty allghtea I hear that Count Bis- marck uncovered his head and stood witn his cap in hand, and on a sign or request from the Emperor to put it on, the Count replied:—‘“sire, 1 receive your Majesty as { would my own royal master.”’ There happened to be near the place where the interview occurred, a few hundred yards outside the squalid town of Donchery, the ‘humble cottage of @ handloom weaver, of whom there are num- bers around Sedan. Count Bismarck led the way and entered it. The room was not in- viting. The great Count walked up the stairs. The apartment was filted by the handloom and appli- ances of the weaver, so he descended and found the Emperor sitting on a stone outside, ‘fwo chairs were brought out of the cottage. The Emperor sat down in one, Count Bismarck took the other ana placed it on his Majesty's left hand side. The officers in attendance on their fallen master lay down at some distance away upon a small plot of grass.in front of the cottage. The conversation was a strange one, and as Count Bismarck has repeated it freeiy or the principal parts of it, no doubt it will be .soon known and remain forever as historic, The reat point to be gained was peace, but, as far as his Imperial Majesty was concerned, no assur- ance ot it could be obtained by Count Bismarck, ‘The Emperor stated that he had no power, could not negotiate a peace, could not give orders to the army or Marshal Bazaine. The Empress was Regent of France, and on her and her Ministers must devolve the negotiations. So Count Bismarck thereupon re- marked that it was of no avail to hold any further conversation on political matters with his Majesty, and that 1¢ would be of no use tg see the King. ‘rhe Emperor desired to see fae King in person, but Count Bismarck declared it was not possible to accede to his Majesty’s wishes until the capitalation had been signed, Then, as the conversation was be- coming rather dangerous, and as the situation was becoming diMcult on both sidea, we ended tt, Tne interview terminated. Count Bismarck went to see the King, the Emperor withdrew to consult his oM- pa ; NAPOLEON AND KING WILLIAM. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Tho Articles of Capitulation of the French Army—Napoleon and Hinz William To- gether—A Memorable interview—Agitation of the Empcror. Lonnon, Sept. 6, 1870, Ina letter to the London 7émes, dated at Sedan, September 3, Dr. Russell, after narrating the inter- view between Count Bismarck and the Emperor Napoleon, continues: At half-past eleven the art'cles of capitulation were signed, as agreed upon by General Wimpifen and General von Moltke, and I believe Count Bis- marck took part in the deliberations. The terms are :—Tue garrison and army of Sedan to surrender as prisoners of war, to be sent into Germany; oM- cers to be liberated on parole, not to serve again uring the war; all horses, guns and munitions of warto be given up. The Emperor's detention in Germany was understood to be a part of the stipu- lation. About two o'clock the King with his body guard and escort of cuirassiers, attended by the Crown Prince and staffor general officers, proceeded toa chateau outside Sedan and received tne Emperor, who came with his personal followers and staff in charge ofan escort, which was ranged on the othor side of the avenue facing the culrassicrs, The King and his captive retired into the glass house off one of the saloons of the drawing room floor, and they coulé be seen by the staff outside engaged in earnest dialogue. After the interview with the King the Emperor haa a few moments’ conversation with the Crown Prince, during which he was much agitated when alluding to the manner of the King. His great anxiety seemed to be not to be exhibited to his own soldiers. Tne resalt was, however, that his Majesty, wishing to avoid one mischief, was ex- posed to a great humiliation; for his course had to be altered to avold Sedan, and thus he had to pass through the lines of the Prussian army.

LONDON, Sept. 6, 1870 The following 18 an account of the movements of Napoleon after his interview with King Willliam:— DovcuERy, Nept. 3, 1870. The Emperor, a prisoner of war, has just passed below my window through the main atreet of Douchery. it is raining torrents. A column of Wiartemberg troops coming in the opposite direction blocks up the way. The cortege was preceded by a troop of black hussars in full uniform and uncloaked. Then came the brougham with the Emperor. He was in the kepi undress uniform of a Lieutenant General, with the star of the Legion of Honor on his breast. His face looked exceedingly worn, with dark lines umder his eyes, which were observant of what was passing around, for he sa- luted the Englishmen who ran oat to see him and raised bis hat, By his side sat a French officer, 1 think Achille Murat. But who could look at any one but the one man? and it was only a glance any person with good feeling would care to give. Atsuch a moment even to him the horses were worthy of the imperial stabies. The postillions were smart as If in the Bols or en route for St. Cloud on a wet day. They and the two who sat belind wore long waterproof cloaks, glazed hats and the imperial cockade. As the brougham was stopped for a moment my courier caught sight of his Majesty's face “What a change,” he says, “since the Prince Napoleon lodged in my house in London, before he went to live in King street.” He had his hand to his mustache, which had the well known point and waxed ends, But there was no nervous twitching, and the emo- tion which snook him for a moment when he was speaking to the Crown Prince yesterday of the King’s manner had passed away. Then he brushed the tears from bis eyes with the gloves he had in one hand and was overcome for some seconds, After the brougham came a char-d-ban, with Nor- mandy percherons filled witn Prussian officers, mostly choaked with noods drawn over their kepis and caps. Among the latter were General Bogen and the Prince of Lemaira, who are appointed to wait on his Majesty.

T shall not say a word about fallen greatness. Every one will be ready with the trite saying. No one cried “God bless him! The French poe and wo men who stood out in the rain certainly did not ven- ture to show any sympathy or sorrow if they felt any. The only sound was the tramp of horses and the inopportune jingling of bells, of oir 4-danc and horses; but now and then a chorp% was sung by the Wurtembergers trudging thro%igh the mud, celebrating the victory in whicn, so/far as they are concerned, they had, with doubttgs4 regret, litue to do, f ze A, mene -" FRENCH REPUBLICAN MEETING, Immense Enthusiasm and Real Basinoss—On to the Battle Field@The Republic Must Conquer. The French republicans of this city held the first of a series of meetings to assist by all and every means the republic to defend France, now that im- Perialism is dead, at Hibernia Hall, Prince street, last evening, Mr. Debuchv pre siding. The hall was crowded to suffocation and the most intense enthusiasm prevailed, The President read o communication from the Rev. Dr. O’Leary, President of the Franco-Irish Society, in which the reverend gentieman said:— fhe war is now not Napoleon against King Wil- ham, but the French republic against King or, as he is now to be, Emperor William; democracy against Cesarism; liberty against tyranny; the nino teenth century civilization agaist medieval feudal- ism; the sovereignty of the people against the ‘divine’ rights of tyrants. America must be with us! The peas toust be with us! Liberty, intelli- free. and patriotism are for us! Vive la Répub- ique Francaise! Vive la République Irlandaise !”” The President then delivered an impassioned ad- dress in which he was frequently interrupted by the most frantic cheering. He said he thanked the members of the provisional government for so promptly accepting the managewent of sifaira and nobly coming to the rescue of France at the most crit- ical hour of her existence a8 a nation, when the cowards who tyrannized over her abandoned her in extremity. With the republic now the French peo- ple would conquer—would not only drive the t- vaders from the beloved soll of their country, but would be the principal agents in establishing re- publics all over ba ad Mr. UoosTaNT said that the first thing which shonld be done was to assist the repubiican refugees in this country who were anxious to join the French army to go to France for that purpove. ir. VILLA thanked the new government for the courage and confidence it displayed in the moment of peril, and hoped that it would hold on till no hos- tile foreign toot trod the ,soil of France. (immense applause.) Mr. May urged that money should be sent on at once to help in carrying on the struggle to a trlumphant issue. A collection was taken up and $104 promptly sub- scribed to assist in sending men to France to fight, ‘The meeting closed with the singing of the “Mar- seillaise,” in which all present joinea, and which was rendere! in enthuslastic style aud with power- ful effect. —_————— THE AMERICAN INSHITUTE FAR. Preparations for the Opening To-Day—A Fine Display <Auticipnted. To-day is the time announced for the formal open- ing of the American Institute Exhibition in the Em- pire Rink, From the preparations going on every- where it is evident that this will be one of the finest annual exhibitions ever made by the Institute, But the mistake that was made last year in opening too early will be repeated now. 1t will require fully ten days or two weeks, if not longer time, to open and get the goods in proper order for display. There is scarcely one-third of the building yet having any thing opened or set up. Workmen are only laying the foundation for some of the engines and machinery, while others have not yet arrived, The machinery department, with its addition of sixty feet towards Second avenue, is altogether in avery rough state. fhere is nothing really in shape for pubilc entertainment or approval except the restaurant an# the mam- moth pyramid soda fuuntalu~im the centre of the building. As the goods are now arranged the first things that one sees on entering are fiddies and brass instruments on one hand and silverware, from Wal- lingford, on the other, A neat eight day clock, every part of wuich has been made and put together by C. E, Markert, a youth of sixteen years, attracts considerable aitention, There are cases of albums, bound in morocco and ivory and gilt, in great variety and very expensive. Their virgin pages have ‘not yet been desecrated by photographs of any honorable gentleman from the “lower house.” ‘The ladtes will find a good supply of arti: cial flowers, and near by a splendid variety of art! ficial teeth, guims, corundum wheels and instr ments and dental machinery. There are artificial limbs, which must be in great demand now tn Paris and Berlin, and near them military equipments, upon which the smell of fire has not yet come. Shirts that have never been ruffled and beas and bedsteads that have never been pressed by the weary traveller, and carpet-cleauing machines that resemble the first attempis at making spring beds that one might imagine. Sportsmen will have a good supply of powder flasks, guns, pistols, &c., to choose from, and those who hope and aspire to possess horses that may one day surpass Dexter will find in the Rink models of stalls more like the staterooms of an ocean steamer in magnificence than like the sleeping places of brutes. They are beautifully finished in walnut and maple wood and crowned with hand- some brass and bronze railings; fancy hay stalls, drinking troughs, &c., convenient for each animal are also there, Fruits and vegetables, risn, meat, &c., stand out in tempting array, while the nouse- wife wuo desires to have good bread in her family, and consequent good tempers, will find there also a variety of baking powders, whose fume reaches from across the Atlantic. The patent medicine man has his stand there too, and dispiays iis cough drops and jung candies, aud when everything is in work- ing order he will show visitors how to make these things for themselves, The Rink will be magnificently lighted and well ventilated. Rows of gas lamps are fixed on every cross rib of the roof Irom one side to the other, while two depending reflectors will add an addi- tional glare of light to the interior. Imperfect though the exhibition is still, there will nevertheless be @ rush to-night to see the opening and to hear the address, and by the middle or 20th ef the month no doubt everything will be displayed to the utmost advantage. At four o’clock the opemiug address will be delivered by Orestes Cieveland, ft. C., and the oration will be delivered by George b. Loring. A ROW AT AN INQUEST. The Death of Bernard Roden—Investigation Before Coroner Schirmer—Conflicting Textie mony—An Oficial Ramp: Coroner Schirmer yesterday morning commenc2d on investigation into the circumstances attending the death of Bernard Roden, late of No, 825 West Seventeenth street, who died on Sun- day evening at the Sixteenth precinct station house from hemorrhage, caused by the arte- ries of his left arm having been severed during a drunken quarre! with Ann McAvoy, living in the same house, The latter had threatened death and destruction to all “Far-Downers,” and hence a quarrel with Mrs. Roden, in which Mr. Roden, the. leceased, sought to take ahand against Mrs. Mc- Avoy; but could not reach her, for the very good reason that she had locked herself in her room. Dr. MeNeiliv, who was cailed, was most decidedly of the opinion that the wdund deceased had received in the arm could not have been caused by an ordinary window glass, while Jobn Barry, apparently are iabic witness who saw the occurrence, swore thathe saw deceased thrust his left arm through a pane of glass in the upper half of Mrs, McAvoy’s door and aimost im i afterwards observed blood flowing cop! Roden’s arm. Mrs, McAvoy did not strike hy Aan Roden, widow of decea Tilford, Catherine Barc! McNeilly and John Ba the exception of Dr. Mc estimony, there was a rather “healthy”? lo oration allaround, the drift of tne evidence being to show that the affair was a tenement house brawl and that no in- cisive weapon had been used by Mis, McAvoy. AS William McAnally was 1 to testify, with a view of corroborating the testimony of the witness Barry, and while teiling the stom two or three of the policemen spoke to Coroner Schirmer, telling him that the witness had previously told them he knew nothing whatever about it. The wiiness madea e Ofticer Gick, Dr. P. examined, and, with poor effort at explanation, end owing 0 discrepancies between his statements the Coroner refused to accept his evidence. The question then arose as tO Who summoned McAnally to testify, when itappeared that the de- fendant’s counsel (Stiner) had served the witness with a subpoena to which Coroner Schirmer’s name was,atiached, and which had uot been done by his authority. ‘ihe Coroner warned the counsel not to take such an unwarrantable liberty with Lis name again, ‘The counsel replied that he had signed the name by authority of one of the deputy coroners. The Coroner said no one had authority to sign his name, and quite @ warm discussion theo followed between the counsel and Coroner, which caused quite an excitement among the spectators, during which one of the female spectators, a friend of the defendant, alleged that the counsel had charged a Re oh wee in aeeeae and wauted wenty-five for loo! alter the interests of the accused before the Coronsr.
