If this step 1s not taken the two nations must fight {tout to the last extremity and to the last man, and torrents of human blood will thus be still shed. The workingmea in Paris say again—It 1s our duty to repeat to our fellows what was de- clared by the European coalition in 1793 to the effect that solong as the French people will not conclude a peace the forces of the enemy will oc- cupy French territory.

LONDON, Sept. 6, 1870, A HERALD special correspondent, @ French officer with MacMahon’s army, who witnessed the battle at Sedan on the French side, and the rout and was shut up in Sedan with the French army, having been released, reached London with the following ac count:— “ SEDAN, Sept. 3, 1870. I pass over all that has happened since I wrote you at Mezieres, to come at once to the events of August 30, 31 and Septe pber 1, the latter the sad- dest day the French arms have ever witnessed, Early in the morning of the 31st orders were given to bring 1oto town all the wagons, trams and oxen, which had been left outside the glacis, By this Ume the streets were biocked up by troops of ever kind, which had entered town during the night, tried to ride down to the Porte de Pars, where the train was stationed. To carry the orders I was ovliged to get ow my horse and make my as best I could between the horses and caisgona, h choked up every street and square of the town. as I reched the Porte de Paris I met the wi nm train en- tering a3 fast as possible, followed closely by the rushe ing oxen/and intermingled with the weeping and ter- ror-siricken peasantry of the neighborhood, fyi into the town for protection. They little knew that i was about the worst place they could have chosen. The gates on that side were immediately after closed, while the troops slowly filed out throt the opposite gate toward Douzy, where all M: forces were posted, expecting to be again attact by the Prussians, Who had closely followed up the French drmy. About ten o’clock that morning some cannonad- ing was heard six or seven miles away toward the village of Bazeliles, I went up on the rampart look- ing over the country in that direction, Thence F could see the Prussian position, and with Held glass could watch the tiring plaluly, but I could not well see the Frenca lines, which were hid from me by trees about a mile from the town. _I therefore at noon walked out of the town at the Porte de Balan and ascended on my left the rising ground which is close by the town, not more than half a mile from the gate. I passed through regiments of reserve infantry. Their arms were piled and the fires smok- ing, the soup having not long ago been eaten, f continued ascending and everywhere reserve corps of infuntry und artillery, I got higher and higher, from billocck to hillock, till I reached a battery of reserve, the guns of wuich were unum. berea und placed facing the rear of the French left. ‘This battery was 80 pointed a8 to ire over the crest of the rising ground on which I stood, about a f. ter of @ mile in front of a little churchyard, lero stood also several oilicers of the diferent which were stationed on my right and left, all ot the reserve, From the point I had now reached a charming scone was in view. The French line of battle ex- tended right iu front, spreading on the slope of tn ground wlich forms one side of this basin of the Meuse. In frontof the centre of the French lines, and lower down In the vale, was the village of Ba- zeilies, Which was then beginning to burn, the Prue sian sheils having set fire to it. Parallel almost to the fromt of the French positions ran the Meuse, crossed by @ bridge @ little to the left of Bazeilles, The French right was upon o kind of wooded ground, held by urailours, tue wooded ground ex. tending nearly to the grounds of Sedan, The Frencit eft was lost to my sight behind the inequati- ties of the ground towards the fr to Koutllon as far as I could see. Right and left im front of me were massed regi. ments of all arms; but towards the left, on the second ne was a very large furce of heavy cavalry, dragoons and culrassiere, The sun was shioli brightly and everything was plainly visible. ‘The glittertig of weapons, the bright and showy colora of the French uniforms, the white smoke curlt under the blue sky, or lingering, vapor iike, beneat the trees, the crackling fames rising from the barn- lug village of Bazeiiles, the whole seen from a com- manding position, formed @ spectacle which one seldom finds himself in a position to witness, ‘The principal Prussian batteries were directly op- posite the French centre, on a piateausor table land. Which terminated abruptly aud made it a strong position. For somo time the cannonadh continued on both sides, At two o'clock a force Prussian infantry advanced across the bridge in the village of Douzy and immediately there began @ very sharp fuslilade, Jasting, how- ever, not more than ten minutes. 1 think the French must have lost ground in that encounter, although i couid not see for some trees that inter- vened; but a battery of six mitrullicuses advanced and opened fire through the trees. Six volleys came all at once, The Prussians fell hurriedly back, leaving whole ranks belilnd which had gone down Ile those leaden soldiers which children play with. About half-past four the fring bad ceased every- where.§ The village, which had been blazing all A Was still smoking. The French remau in same position.
