On Saturday an interesting scene was enacted before the statue of Strasbourg, now named the Slatue de Resista. in honor of tne heroic defence of the fortress made by General Uprich and the brave garrison under iis command. Great numbers of soldiers, civilians and females gathered m the open spare in front of the statue, offering decora- ons and toler wavs demonstrating thei admi- “tance | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1870—TRIPLE SHEET. ration of Strasbourg. A description of the scene is | last night from Paris by the ordinary courier impossible; but what I have said of it will convey the best idva of what Paris is at the present mo- ment, AT THE TUILENIES AND CHAMPS ELYSERS, Nothing can be more interesting to the observer than the present appearance of the city. The Tule- ries has lost its grandeur and magnificence and has become nothing more than a compressed, crowded camp. Entering opposite the Hotel Maurice, [ note large numbers of horses tied up in long linea, eating out of canvas bags. Tents are spread out and wagons: stand loaded with military stores, hay, straw and other articles belonging to the goyerhment, Sol- diers lie or lounge along the rows of trees which line what was formerly the private road of the Em- peror, in the garden of the Tutieries, but what Is now a highway of the republic, Tne Champs Ely- sdes presents the same warlike appearance, Indeed the paraphernalia of war a to be seen everywhere and at all times, A SPASM OF OLD PARIS, Yesterday, for the first time since the siege be- gan, the city looked something like inthe old days. Ail Paris was ont upon the streets, But the spasm was only of short duration, and at this writing everyting is @ull and listless. All places of amuse- ments are closed—the theatres, gardens—every- thing in short but te cafés and shops, and these still thrive, with prices everywhere up and sull ad- vancing. ‘The hotels, however, are impoverished for want of customers, CONSIERNATION OVER DEFEAT. The engagement at Mendon on the 30th ult. created consternation anew tnroughout the olty, for it undoubtedly ended in the complete defeat of the French, who confidently anticipated the dislodgment of the Prussians from the positions they occupy and were beginning to entrench, The very flower of the army now in Yaris was sclected for the assault, and the repulse of the men now scems to render hopeless of success all future offensive movements. COLLISIONS IN THE STREBTS—~THIBVES AT WORK. Since the 20th of September we haye had mee exciting scenes in Paris, although nothing has o¢- curred of real immortance. On two cecasiops night encounters have taken place between organized gangs of ruMfans and the military guard patrolling the city, The former broke into houses and robbed persons on the streets, although the latter are few, as no person goes out at night unless obliged to. ‘The truth is that the lower classes are no better off or more orderly under the new republic than they were formerly. As they are unemployed they are entitied to draw rations; but even this right they do not often avail themselves of, preferring, as formeriy, to rob or starve. THE DANGEROUS ELEMENTS. Notwithstanding these robberles the dangerous elements may be reported as comparatively stil, 1t 1s evident, however, that there 18 a good deal of agitation under the surface, which may break out tuto a terrible convulsion should farther reverses attend the French arms or shonld the storming of the city become huaminent. SHOOTING COWARDS AND INSUBORDINATES, Twenty men who acted in a cowardly manner in the first engagement outside the walls of the ctty were shot jour days ago. This 18 believed to be a uselul mode of suppressing the growing spirit of disobedience and iInwbordipation which is being manifested by the regular soktiers anc by the Gardes. Mobile. ANNOUNCING THE SURRENDER OF STRASBOURG, Yesterday was a most eventful day In Paris, The surrender of Strasbourg 1 foul was first made known about noon and occasioned immense ticn in the city, Troops Mned the public thorough- fares ready, In case of tuinuit, to disperse the crowd. Dismay and dissatisfacuon were depicted on the countenances of the ciuuzens, who never imagined for & Momen? that the fall Of Strasbourg would take place at 80 early a date, GENERAL BURNSIDE ON A DIPLOMATIC MISSION. General Ambrose E, Burnside, accompanied by Pan! Forbes, entered the French Mnes yesterday, bearing a flag of trace from the Prussian headquar- ters at Versatiles, and charged with a letter from Count Bismarck to Jules Favre concerning commu- nication between the French and Prussian lines, ‘The object of the mission ts unknown, but It is wene- rally believed that the intention is to depress the the spirits of the Parisians by letting them Know the real state of aifairs in France. On their arrivai in Paris General Burnside and Mr. Forbes went to the American Legation and af- terwards had an interviewsxifi Jules Favre, who called at the legation toxee them, These communi- cations with the outsiae worla have a marked effect | npon the Parisian public, which is so eastiy depressed | and elated, THR STRENGTH OP PARIS, It is certainly the case that Paris grows daily stronger and betier prepared for defence. General Burneide deviared that the fortifications are of tie most formidable character he ever saw. The Prus- sians made several attempts to plant battenes and build redoubts in the face of the bastions, but faued in consequence of the fire from ihe great guns on the ramparts, electric lights preventing their ac- complisning ut night what they failed to efiectin the day. MINISTER WASHBURNE COMPELLED TO VACATE BIS HOUSE. Miniscver Washburne has teea compeiled to aban- don his house, situated on the Avenue de I’ Imperiale, the whole quarter of that part of tne city being bar- ricaded and undermined, He moved toa house in the rear of the Madeline, abandoning his furniture and vainables, including a superb portrait of Presi- dent Grant, All Americans here leave with Minister Washburie should he he compelled to go. They have already registered tuelr names al the ewbasey.

A balloon company has already been formed to take passengers out of the city. The charge tor the trip ts 2,000 francs each, Many persons have already secured places. THE JACOBINS RRSTIVE. ‘The Jacobins are becoming daiiy more exacting in their demands that stringent measures shall be adopted against the Bonaparusis. They insist upon the sequestration of the property of all absentees, and demand that the government seize all the pro- vistous in the city aud apportion them equally among the population, These Jacobiits are sanguine of getting into power, A GENERAL KILLED.

The following ts an extract from the latest dave, October 8, @ etter of Colonel E.:— SOCIALISTS AT WORK, ‘The Socialist opposition is stil at work and grow- ing bolder. They now demand the confiscation of the property of all whe left Paris, for the benefit of the national defenders, and the sequestration of the Property of all accomplices in ths Bonapartist usurpation, The government bas been weak enough to yield in some points to these men, They also demand the destruction of the Column Vendome and all mouments pertaining to the Bonapartes, THE QUESTION OF FOOD. ‘Tne question of food begins to be serions and food riots are feared. Already the club men are urging the people on, saying tiat the provisions belong to the people and that Paris had no right to take them. Five thousand beeves and four thousand sheep are killed daily, which is perhaps enough for all if a just distrioution was made, but, unfortunately, money buys the best m quality and quantity and little or none is left for the poor, Many groceries have been closed by the people for raising the prices, There is no forage for the horses, which are being killed ‘or meat, Charcoal and wood have nearly failed, which 1 @ serious thing for the poor. Still the city may hold out sume weeks longer without much suffering from famine if the proper organiza- tion ts made. The government has fixed the price of meat and has made requisition for ail the flour and wheat iu the city. THE FOOD AND MUNITIONS SUPPLY. The Paris correspondent of the London Times writes to the evening edition of that journal that the supplies of meat are vanishing. Breadavuils are plenty and are stored in convenient places.

Mr. Lamson that if by chance he had fallen in with Posen regiments, composed of ignorané fellows, they would not answer what tie conseqnences might have been. They were treaicd with ihe greatest courtesy. THR GENERAL SITUATION. ‘The forts are manned with sailors, who conscien- tlously fire off their cannon. A position has been lost. Two sorties, consisting of troops aud arn peasants, have been driven back. ‘The National Guard does duty on the ramparts and drigs in ihe stiects, PARISIAN BOASTING AND HOPES. Behind their pits, their trocps, their crowd of pea- sants, and their ramparis, they boast of what they will do. The Parisians appear to rely upon every- thing except thelr own valor. One day it 1s the Army of the Loire; another day, some mechanical ma- ehiue; another day dissensions among the Prussian generals and another day, the intervention of Rus- sia and Austria. ABBURDITIFS AND OUTRAGES. Meantime the clubs denounce the generals, Club orators make absurd speeches, The Mayor changes the names of streets and inscribes “Libert, eqalite: ; et Sraternite” on the public bulidings. The journals of all colors, with only one or two exceptions, are a with Hes and bombast, and the people beifeve the one and adinire the other, The Minster of the Interior placards the walis with idle procla- mations and arrests of Bonapartists. Innocent neutrals are mobbed as Prussian spies. The ouly —- sentinels become thicker. Instead of standing care- lessly, they are seen lying flat on the ground or with their heads peering over little eminences. We are in front of the French. There, on the rising hill, stand the grim forts, with the tricolor floating from their stats, and Paris just behind, But even with a good glass I can descry no troops, who, I suppose, are behind the ramparts walting for an attack. Mean- while the Prussian sentinels remain on the alert and only interrupt their fixed gaze to challenge me. A DINNER WITH GENERAL VON THLE. While en route for this place I had the good luck to stop at the chateau now in the occupation of General Von Thile, a brother of Vice Chancellor Von Thile, of Berlin, who iuvited me to dinner. The general did the honors in person, Prussian soldiers Waiting ov the table with mulitary precision aud etiquette, A SKIRMISH, On the way to Sceaux IF witnessed a sharp skir- mish between the Germans and a part of the varis garrison, A few shelis burst not far from ny posi- on, and I saw # few men killed and wounded and all was over, From thence I reached Versailles. It Was a regular godsend to the officers andl men will whom I came to reach here, after the nuserable quarters they have been occupying. GENERAL APPEARANCES, Debouching on the large square which stands before tue fantastic palace of Lous XIV., the tirat thing that attracted the attention was the «rijl of a \ Prussian vattalion under the very wose of Kgog Louis, mounted on a Wronze horse, and in full view of the well known words, “a foudes tes giortes de la France.” VERSAILLES, Versailles has not yet suffered from the efects of he war. ‘The chief note!

Ho says the siege of Paris is a imon- strous phenomenon, which will be the scandal of history. Civilizauon is @ prisoner in Paris, The King of Prussia ia the Attila or the nineteenth cen- wry. He appeals to the English people, but not for pity, for republican France has a right to ume sympathies of all. He then describes the war, Which be says is pan-Germanism gone iad, ‘The King of Prus#a ouglit to have stopped the war after the capitulation of Sedan, when the empire had disappeared and the republic proclaimed. He quotes from an article in the dally News of Sep- tember 7, saying the republican party is in no wise responsible for the present war, &c., and he dares any one to deny that since September 4 thetr party has represented the aspirations aad genius of France. Itis not true that the French nation has this terrible conflict upon its conscience. The King of Prussia is @ desperate gambler, but the Livody game of batle may tirn against lum. M. Louis Biane concludes: If the English people understand that our cause Is that of the whole world, being that 1 of justice, it is fur it to «ct, to ponder on what concerns it, the consequences of leaving the rights of conquest unbridied. A nation which by its indifference sanctions the saturnalia of force risks experiencing them, and deserves to doso. It is the business of the English peopie to look toit. OUrs is to prove to the world that our cause is just, and, this being understood, to die for the right (which never dies) or conquer with it. THE BESIEGING ARMY. TELEGRAM TO THE W YORK HERALD.
