Gambetta Against Political Malcon- tente—Goverument Hendy for a Sudden Move. Lonvon, Oct, 21—Evening. Special advices for the HERALD, dated at Tours in the evening of the 20th inst., have been received here, The reports positively contradict the assertion that General Boyer’s mission to King William of Prussia related in any shape to the subject of the capitulation of Marshal Bazaine at Metz. It 1s stated that the object of the mission was to urge on the Prussian Commander-in-Chief to grant per- mission for the safe’ removal from the fortress of many women and children, with some few wounded, and the invalids affected by ordinary dis- eases. The request was subinitted to King William in the name of common humanity. It was, howéver, positively denied and strictly refused. ‘ M. GAMBETTA AGAINST POLITICAL DISORGANIZERS. M. Gambetta urges the exercise by tne govern. ment of the most severe, stringent, arbitrary if necessary, measures against those who remain dis- affected toward the new order of affairs in France. The object ‘of their leaders 1s, he says, merely ... Political, For this cause and with parcy objects they are agitating at Lyons, Rouen and elsewhere, ‘such persons are dangerous at the present time and at this particular crisis. Enemies to the country, traitors to the republic ana to France should be treated as enemies and traitors. The other members of the French government after Gambetta remain nervous, They are timid to act against the agitators, fearmg that by so doing they may compromise republican principles by the limiting of the freedom of speech. THE EXECUTIVE MADE READY TO MOVE. Preparations have been completed for the com- plete removal of the different executive depart- ments of the French government from Tours south- ward at a moment's notice. All papers, books, records and the effictal correspondence are kept ready packed, with the exception of such docu- ments as are required for immediate and momen- ary use or reference. & strong force of military mounts guard, day and night, over the vast packages; and these troops are held ready to march as its escort ata moment’s notice, “ IN AMIENS. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Insubordination of Soldiers of the Garde Nationale=A Dangerous Excitement and Citizen Fear—Cry of the Prussians are Coming—A Panic and Quiet=City Defence. “Loxpow, Oct. 21, 1870, ~ Special telegrams for the HERALD, addressed from Amiens, under date of this afternoon, report that the city was intensely excited during the two days just past, and still remained so, in consequence of the insubordinate conduct of the members of the National Guard, The feeling which was thus pro- duced in the public mind was very painful and the actual situation dangerous, ‘The men refused to obey orders, and the best eflorte of the officers of the Garde Nationale failed Jor a time to restore discipline or to induce them to return to their duty. A report was circulated during the afternoon to the effect that the Prussian enemy was approaching Amiens rapidly. This intelligence induced a per- fect panic among the recusants, which spread to Most of the remaining rank and file to such an ex- tent that an utter demoralization of the entire force was feared. Several arrests of mutineers were effected during whe day. Orders were at once issued for the trial of the prisoners by drum head court martial. All others guilty of cowardice or insubordination will be brought before the same tribunal. ‘The civilians are excited; or, as the French term it, animated, Active preparations for a vigorous defence against the Prussians were carried on notwithstanding the home trouble.

Victor Hugo nas declined the request of the gov- ernment to “stimulate the provinces.” ‘The people w ere subscribing freely for the defence of the capital, The enthusiasm had not abated, ROCHEFORT’S BARRICADES. A correspondent at Boulogne sends word that all the preparations for bombarding Paris from the South have been abandoned. The bar- ricaded have been erected in Paris, around and behind the complete circuit of the walls, The regulations for the barricades fixes them at distances of 200 feet behind the ramparts, All the streets converging on the avenue de L'Imperatrice, now the avenne Ulhrich, are prepared with barri- cades, There is great strength in the positions between the two outer barricades, and all day long workmen are busy making every preparation for a possible attack, Holes and rifie-pits are dug, and heavy abattls prepared to be planted. THE QHATEAU OP ST. CLOUD BURNED BY THE GER- ANS. Acourier who left Versailles on the 15th, and ar- rived here to-day, brings particulars of the burning of the chateau of St. Cloud. He avers that after the fire of the Parisian forts had be- gun to be untenable, the Bavarians and Wurtembergers set to work to pillage the palaces, that Jarge mirrors and tables, pictures and works of art were packed in wagons and carried off by officers and) men, that carpets and curtains, bedhangings and ornaments were stolen, and that the chateau was set on fire In many places at once by the retreating Germans, so that within a few hours only @ single wall of this noble edifice, crowded with beautiful objects, and rich with historical recollections, was left standing. Books by the hundred were carried away, and are selling in the shops about Versailles for a trifle. Nothing, he states, was saved from the wreck in a legitimate way but the table on which the drst Em- peror Napoleon signed the declaration of war against Prussia, which led to the humiliation of the Prussian monarehy at Sena and Auerstadt. FAILURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE SURREN- DER OF BAZAINE’S ARMY. The special correspondent before Metz telegraphs to-day:—‘The negotiations for the surrender of Metz have failed, and the Envoy has returned to the beleaguered town. General Bazaine proposed to sur- render all of his own army on the same terms as the surrender at Sedan, exceot that the regular gar- rison of Metz should continue to hold the fortress, thus relieving at least half of the investing army. General Von Moltke refused these terms because a reduced garrison could hold out longer. An entire surrender 1s expected early.” PREPARING TO DEFEND AMIENS. The Department of Somme has been declared in a state of slege, and energetic preparations have been made at Amiens, the cupital, for defence. A force of twenty thousand Prussians, which was advancing on the city, has returned to Breteuil. BOUBBAKI EN ROUTE FOR LILLE, A telegram from Rouen, dated yesterday, states that General Bourbaki and his staff passed through that city the same day, en route for Lille, to take command of the Army of the North. GALLANTRY OF A FRANCO-HIBERNICO LEGION. A correspondent at Boulougne sends word from Tours that during the actions before Orleans, which have been fought during the last week and which have resuited in the abandonment by the Germans of their attempt to advance on Tours, the new Irish le- gion In the service of the republic distinguished itself Particularly. itis commanded by Colonel Lawler, who served during the American civil war with Lee, Stuart and Jobnston, and it 18 composed of young men of good blged and of the best character, mainly from the vi¢iity of Dublin. Colonel Lawler made a speecn to his: men betore leading them into battle. The charges of the Irish Legion carried all before them, and the Legion has been publicly thanked by the authorities for its valer and success. FRROCITIES OF THE WAR, The country around Paris for miles now swarms with francs-tireurs, who cut off the German out- posts, Kill their couriers and harass them inces- santiy. The rage of these volunteers has been in- tensely excited by the murder of a priest near Meu- don, ‘This priest, who was administering to the wants of a number of wounded francs-tireurs, was suddenty captured by a body of German cavalry, who, without respecting his sacred office or his actual function as a minister of mercy, tied him toa tree and shot him. The Francs-tireurs, since this shocking affair, show no quarter. Six German officers of the Saxon army, who were sur- prised in a house of the hamlet of Mouli- neaux, were taken out and hanged on trees in the park by the Francs-tireurs; and German officers are constantly picked off by them as they traverse the Tuads. They seem to have a general order te show no pity to the officers, but usually release the private soldiers who fall Into their hands, unless where spe- cial outrage 1s proved against them, RED REPUBLICAN VIOLENCE TO THE JESUITS, The reports at Tours from Marseilles are to the effect that the Committee of Public Safety in the latter city nave declared the Jesuit congregations to be dissolved, ordered all the Jesuit priests to be expelled from the city, confiscated their property and set it up for sale, They have also issued a decree confiscating all the property of the journal La Gazetie du Midi and confiscating its oMce, These reports, which are not avouched by our regular cor- respondents in France, seem to iis to demand con- frmation before they can be fairly said to invite consideration.

A telegram from St. Quentin, dated to-day, reports that a force of 5,000 men, under the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, with twelve guus, is marching on the town. RESIGNATION OF A GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONER. A telegram from Lille, dated to-day, reports that M. Testelin, Commissioner from Paris to the Noth- ern provinces, has resigned. MOVEMENTS OF THE FRENCH FLEET. A French squadron was seen of Heligolane Tues- day evening. The Frenchmen were steering west- ward. A Hamburg despatch of to-day’s date re- ports that nothing has since been geen of them, AMERICAN OFFICERS ORDERED TO LONDON—RE- PARATION DEMANDED BY MINISTER WASHBURNE, Itis stated that Generals Burnside, Sheridan and Forsyth have received orders from the Washington government to repair to London at once. The Celogne Gdzetie, which published this statement, says that owing to the suggestions of these gentle- men Minister Washburne has been so unenergetic that he has been forced todemand reparation for frequent arrests of Americans as spies. SEVERAL WAR NOTES. ‘The Prussians had evacuated Meung and Beau- gency. The Staats Anzeiger of Berlin advertises the issue of 6,500,000 thalers at three aud one-half per cent, payable 1n six months, Only 250 citizens or Strasbourg were killed at the bombardment of that city. At Verdun, as at Paris, the besieged are squander- ing their ammunition by random firing, Strasbourg has again been opened to railway traf fic. Trains now arrive and depart reguiarly. On the 17th a German detachment occupied Mont- aidier, capturing four eMcers and 178 Mobile Guaras. ‘The Prussian commandant of Stenay was forced to retire from the town on the 11th by @ sorue from Montmedy. A journal published by the Germans here confirms the report that General Boyer’s visit to King William ‘was to treat for the surrender of Metz. Severe measures are proclaimed against foreign- ers found in arms on the French side, ‘The French are shelling Meudon. The Siccle says seven hundred chests of arms have been received at Cherbourg frem England.

Dubost, the delegate from Paris to Tours, who landed near that town in a balloon, barely escaped falling within the Prussian lines, He gives further particulars of the last fight near Paris, of which he says he was In- formed by Admiral Moquet just as he was about to ascend at Paris, ‘The eugagement took place on the 17th, and was resumed on the 18th. The Prussians, in feree, on the evening of the 17th, attacked the redoubt of Hautes-Bruycres, near Issy, and were repulsed. With redoubled forces they renewed the attack at one o'clock the next morning, but, after a three hours’ struggle, were again repulsed, + * POSITIONS RETAKEN BY THE BESIEGED ARMY. OMicial advices from Paris to the 18th show that the resolution of the defenders of the capital 18 un- shaken. ‘The work on the fortifications on all sides of the city has been completed, The French have retaken positions at Vitry, Ville- juif, Cachan, Issy, Saresnes, Puteaux, Courbevoie, Asnleres, Plerrefitte, Stains, La Cour Neuve, Fon- tenay and Nogent Sur Marne, and hold also the bridge of Joinville and the Island of Genevilliers, ARMAMENT OF THE FORTS—SUPPLY OF AMMUNI- TION AND PROVISIONS—FEMALE ORGANIZATIONS SUPPRESSED, ‘The forts are armed with 2,140 guns, manned by 13,000 men. In the magazines there are 3,000,000 kilogrammes of powder, and each gun has a supply of 500 balls. The manufacture of rifled capnon, mitrailleurs, Chassepots, cartridges and other muni- tions continues with great activity, and the supply of provisions 1s ample. The authorities of Paris nave suppressed the female military organizations which were forming. ACTIVITY IN THE CAPITAL. M. Dubost says in all the recent confilcis around Paris the French have had the best of it. The ac tivity of the citizens was prodigious. Paris was making twenty-five mitrailieuses per week, two milk lions of cartriges daily and cannon and munitions in proportion, REPORTED ATTACK UPON ORLEANS BY THE FRENCH. Nothing official is published from the Army of the Loire, and we are kept equally in the dark as to the march of the Prussians, There is a rumor that the French have attacked Orleans, where the enemy, it sald, have left a garrison not strong in numbers, but well suppiicd with artulery, The journals here have been urging the government to make a serious effort to recaptvre the city. PRUSSIANS MOVING INTO NORMANDY—THE FRENCH ARMY IN GOOD CONDITION. Contradictory rumors are fiying about con- cerning the movements of the hostile armies on the Loire, but the general impression is that the Prussians are no longer coming this way, and that a large force of the enemy is marching on Normandy, where there are fewer troops to oppose them. ‘The French army of the Loire, in camp, is improving dally. The officers are extremely rigorous in enforcing discipline and numbers of the soldiers have been shot for diso- bedience of orders. The men are now in fine condi- tion and spirits. CAPTURE OF UNLANS AND HUSSARS, French scouts near Blois have taken a number of uhlans prisoners. A band of Francs-tireurs brought mto Nemours eight hussars captured out of a foraging party, the rest of whom, with their officers, were killed. LYONS PREPARING FOR A SIEGE. Atelegram from Lyons dated yesterday reports that orders have been issued to supply that city with provisions for 75,000 men for two months. The troops in the rural districts are ready to march and aré waiting for orders to proceed to Lyons. VOLUNTEERS FROM THE UNITED STATES, A number of volunteers from the United States, who arrived by the steamer Ville de Paris, recetved to-day their arms and uniforms. ‘hey are to be empioyed as [rancs-tireurs, to operate in the rear of the Prussian armies, cutting railways and burning forage. CITIZEN KERATRY TO HAVE A COMMAND. M. Keratry, recalled from Madrid, arrived here to-day. ‘The newspapers say he ig to bave an im- portant military command. M. Keratry did s:me brilliant service in Mexico while in command of forces organized to oppose the guerillas, UNABLE TO LEAVE PARIS, The Papal Nuncio and the Colombian Minister are unable to leave owing to the refusal of the Prussians to permit any passage though the lines, CHARGE AGAINST THE PRUSSIANS, It is positively asserted here that the Prussians fired the chateau of St. Cloud to conceal their depre- dations. The citizens of St. Cloua charge that all the valuables in the place had disappeared before the fire broke out. INTRENCHED CAMPS FOR RECRUITS, It is stated that leading military engineers are to form a series of intrenched camps, in which new troops will be drilled and formed into corps darmée, Even the National Guards will be obligea to pass a certain time in these camps. ~~~ Gdtwaniash Arb ror cnareacnen.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Report that a Treaty Has Been Concluded— The Prince Imperial to Be Emperor—Ba- zaine Regent—Trochu Privy to the Scheme— Peace Rumors in London=German Widows and Orphans Protesting Against the War. LONDON, Oct, 21, 1870. The Manchester Ezaminer has a report from Ber- lin, which needs confirmation, that Bazaine has offered to sell Matz for the Regency with the Prince Imperial. REPORT THAT A PEACE WAS BEEN CONCLUDED—THE PRINCE IMPERIAL TO BE EMPEROT. A story is now afloat purporting to come from Chiselhurst and the Empress to the effect that Marshal Bazame and Count von Bismarck fave concluded a peace, the terms to De ap- proved by the Emperor at Wtlhelhohe and the King at Versailles, the German army to withdraw to the frontier, and the army of Bazaine to restore order and the empire in France, Bazaine himself to be Regent during the muuvority of the young Prince. General Trechu is said to be privy to this scheme and bent on sustaining it. The markets of London and Manchester have been greatly excited over this news, which has done as much to demoralize both actors and spectators in the public marts as if it had been not only probable 99 y UUTOBER 22, public with the maction of the British govern- ment and with the protraction of the war. They are significant also as showing the willingness of the Prussian government to encourage every hope, no matter how extravagant, of a peace which 1s tast becoming necessary to the German armies and people, The frightful condition of things in Germany cannot much longer be concealed from the world, It is making itself heard 1n all sorts of ways. RESTRICTIONS ON DIPLOMATIC INTERCOURSE, It is sald that Count Bismarck has required the foreign Ministers at Paris to communicate with their governments only by open despatches, GERMAN WIDOWS AND ORPHANS PROTESTING AGAINST THE WAR. A correspondent of Ostend sends me a doc- unent which has been sent from Hanover to Ber- lin, It is a petition signed by 35,763 widows with 78,760 children, in Westphalia, Rheinish Prussia, and = Hanover, against the prosecution of the war, It 1s simple in its language, but terribly expressive, and it is understood to have been composed by one of the leading liberals of Gottingen, It mplores the government to save tne poor creatures who sign {t from absolute peril of starvation. It states that these husbands and fathers have been slain in the war; that they are left without the means of sup: port; that all the funds of the authorities being em- ployed for the prosecution of the war no means are anywhere available for thetr relief; that the factories in which they might have hoped to procure work are stopped by the war, The petition winds up by asking what worse could have befallen the signers had Germany been defeated in war and invaded by the enemy than now amicts them, in consequence of a victo- rious war of defence. The petition will be pre. sented by leaders of the peace party, who are growing loud and dangerous to the government at Beriin, | and who have taken courage from the fact that General Vogel von Falkenstein has been compelled, by orders from headquarters, to abandon his attempt to dragoon them into selence. ‘The North German papers are publishing, with little comments, stories of the excesses perpetrated in France by the Bavarian troops as being quite dishonorable to the German arms, OH!0.

The steamer Enterprise, from Garston to London- derry, picked up a boat off Innishowen Head at three o’clock yesterday afternoon containing @ sailor and the corpse of a girl, The sailor stated that the steamer Cambria, of the Anchor line, from New York, struck at ten o'clock the night previous on Innistranuill Island and became a total wreck.

The agents of the Anchor line at Glasgow have re- ceived full confirmation of the loss of thelr steam. ship Cambria on Wednesday night, The sailor who was saved 1s now in Londonderry.

The above despatches were received in this city shortly after ten o'clock last night, but a vague and garbled report, which failed to state whether the vessel lost was a steamer or sailing ship, hid been received by cable during the afternoon. It was at first supposed and ardently hoped that the vessel reported lost might} not prove to be the Anchor line steamer of that name. A HERALD reporter, however, called upon Messrs, Henderson Bros., at the offices of the company, No. 7 Bowling Green, in this city, about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, and learned that the company had received no information on the subject. The agents stated further that they had no reason to belleve that the Cambria whieh was lost was their vessel, as she was not overdue, In fact they expected last night to receive a des- patch announcing her arrival in Glasgow. This later intelligence, however, leaves no doubt and sets the awful mystery at rest. ‘The lost steamer left New York October 8 for Glasgow. She Is @ steamer of about 3,600 tons, Clyde built, and had every improvement adapted in her construction that Ingenuity could suggest. She was under command of Captain George Car- naghan, an experienced and skiljful officer, and was deemed in every respect a first class vessel, equipped Al and commanded by excellent omicers.

In this city the shock was severe enough to ring the bells in the public buildings. The judges and others in tho courts vacated thelr rooms precipitately. QUEBEC, Oct. 21, 1870, The earthquake threw down some chimneys here, and two persons were injured by falling bricks. The people rushed into the streets, and for a time there was much alarm and contusion. The course of the earthquake was from west to east. ‘TORONTO, Oct. 21, 1870, During the shock of the earthquake yesterday the steeple of St. George's church Was distinctly seen to sway toand fro.

This company also had on hand @ large stock of mate- rials and clocks and lose heavily, The Stren; Manufacturing Company, manufacturers — comn plates and trimmings, occupied a building near by the carriage company, aud although the fire scorched aud threatened to destroy it, was saved by the most heroic efforts to arrest the flaines. Johnson’s coffin warehouse on tha opposite side of the street caught tire several times, but the fire was as often quenched and the building was finaily saved from destruc- tion, The water in the extensive lake that supplies the Winsted water works was very low, and conse- quently the mains refused to yleld a sufictent quan- tity of water, thus failing to meet the emergencies of the situation. It Was a most fortunate circumstance that the buildings and roofs m the vicinity of tha fre were wet by the rain, and also that the wind did not blow at the time, for, had it been otherwise, there is no telling Where the fire would have stopped in ts onward march through the village. ‘The total amount Of 1083 and Losuranve Cannot at present ba given.

For evidences of the Improved and prosper- ous industrial branches of commerce in France during the period above alluded to—a progressive industry and improvement marvellousiy wonder- tul—I beg to refer the writer to the debates on the subjectin the French Chambers last January anid the statistics to be had at the French Consul Gene- ral's office in New York. On more than one occasion this year I have had the honor to confer with the Emperor of France on this subject, and if there ever was sincerity of purpose in any man for the com- mercial and industrial pi and wealth of France it was with Napoleon Ill, No later than last February he approvea a project of ordinary character that nad for its pansion of commerce in these United States a Loe a of a Frauco-American character.
