Employments of King William and Bismarek at Versailles. THE SIEGES OF PARIS. Basis of the German Claim for Teritorial Aggrandizement. DAILY LIFE AT VERSAILLES. Some particulars about the datyy life of the King of Prussia and Count Bismarck at Versailles are given in a letter from that town, dated October 25, which says:— ‘The King of Prussia: has taken the Prefecture for Dis rouldenee.

Relieved fromall work, ade ck can avsume throughout the day the uncon- gern and indifference that are depicted in his coun- tenance, Generally, in the afiernoon, he makes an excursion towards ‘the advanced posts, sometimes venturing further than prudence would recommend. The band continually plays in the park, and, no matter what may be said of the superiorty of the Prussians in artillery, in_ matters of music it would be diticult to tind their masters. ‘Ihe audience ts composed mostly of officers and ladies of the demi- monde, who entéred the town in the wake of the army; and the efticets of the Guard are full of at- lentions to them, besides this portien of the public thore may be seen many parasites, of both sexes, arrived Jrom Berlin, under the pretext of nursing some imaginary wounded relation, but who in reality have come as spectators, to witness the bom- bardment of Paris, ‘Th2se persons crowd the hotels and obstruct the streets and squares, Nothing is. more exasperating than the presence of these idiers, Who make a party of pleasure of this disas- trous war. During Jast week there were at least dozen persons of ciminence—kings, princes and German grand dukes—who have met to decide when King William shall be crowned Emperor of Germa- ny. A grand review was held tn their honor on the evening of October 20, on which occasion the old King gave a dinner which lasted till midnight. ‘The whole — of the Prefecture was brilliantly iltaui- nated.

Terrible Sufferings and Great Endurance in Former Yeurs—Powdered Boues to Make Bread—Donkeys Enten—The Monks Fat all the Time, aud How—Otho, Empo.or of Ger- many, at the Gates. A Liverpool journal publishes the following tn- teresting résumé of former sieges of Pari#:-— While the world watts in listening expectation for thewunder of the gung that aré to rain down five and hail upon the fairest capital ia Europe a recol- lection of the horrors of past sieges of Paris may help to quicken the percepz ion of the terrible nature of that which may be to come. We know the city in its beauty and its pride; its allver thread of river istening betweon the broad quays chat line its Anke; ity iree-planted boulevards, gay with the lie of pleasure that found 1t3 cenire there; its wide streets and stately architecture; its moi ents of art; its cathedral, churches, palaces and thearres; its fragments of anitguity, hoary wit eight handre ears of time; its Champ Blysées and bab Its pleasant gardens and promenades, where @ light hearted crowd, gathered from the four cor- vers_ol the earth, sauntered leisurely under the clear sexy of summer, us If peace were eternal, But the picture has changed. At such a crisis of her fortunes, the student of history may naturally turn to the records of jurmer sleges of Paris to see how she has stood this ultl- mate trial of her forcitude in the past. A writer In the current number of the Contemporary Review bas done go In # well written narrative, showing both knowledge ©! bis subject and good taste in its treat. ment. It will be sufiicient to pass over with a men- tion the first great siege of Paris by the Norman: when Eudes, Comui of Parle, b's brother Robert an the Archbishop Gozelin saved, by their heroic efforts, the city, which the imbecile Charies the kat abandoned to its fate. The event wasa great one. it decided virtuaily the fate OL the Warlovingian dynasty in Frauce, and it ia immortalized, under a thin veil of fiction, in the great poem of “Ariosto.” ‘A hundred yeurs later Otho LL, Hmperor of Ge many, marched to tie gates of Parts, but returned after 4 useless bravado at Moutmarére, When Edward IJ. invaded France In 1359, he block- aded Paris fora time; and an incident of the siege, with its pleasant touch oi human laziness, agreeably relieves the monotony of the story. The Parisians were go fearful that the noise of the bells ringing for matins should cover the sound of the enemy's ap- poe In the dark, that it was ordeved matings should e sung in all the churches and convenss at curfew instead of at midnight; a change found so agreeable In some convents, say8a chronicler, that they con- Unued to sing matns At curfew msiead of at mid- night jong alter the English had departed, Henry Y.’s occupation of Yaris after the treaty of Troyes, and the permanence of an English garrison within its walls for ltourteen ‘es aiter his death, filled a most aisastrous period tor France, and the borrora of the country were intensified in the city, Famine aud pestiieice reduced the population. to one-half, In tue Journal @un Bourgeois de Paris the writer says be saw boys and girls lying on dirt heaps, thirty and forty iogether, moaning, “1 am dying of hunger.” Dogs became so dangerous that dog killers were appointed rom ihe environs ‘Woives entered at night, a ttacked people in the street. Death itself became happmess in the di ful frost of one winter, when il 1s: said to have snowed for forty days aud forty nights, and men lay down in she open, nerveless from hunger aad cold, to sleep the sleep wilich Knows no waking. ‘The last great siege of Paris was in 1590, At that date the city had been for nearly two years under che dominion of the League, composed of the Gon- sett des Seize, led vy the Guises, swayed by the in- trigues of Philip If, of Spain. Nine monttis before Henry WL, had falien by the knite of Jacques Cie- ment, as but 4 few months earlier he had caused the Duke de Guise to perish by the daggers of Mont- they and Loignac. Joined with his cousin, Henry ot Navarre, he had marched to snbdue the city from which he bad been cast out, and he 1s then said to bave pronounced a threat of extermination unat ‘Auds a partial echo now. “It would be a great pity to ruin 40 great a city, but I must have my rights op the rebels withia it, It 14 the heart of the League, aud it ts the heart we must strike, Paris! head of the bat head too large and too capricious, you want bi » to cure vou and all the rest of France, to which you impart your madness. But a few davs longer and there wiil be seen neither houses nor walls, but ouly the place where thou hast been.’’ The death of the authar of this pious bag sheath competied his cousin, now Henry LV., to wit aw for a ume, till, onthe 7th of May, 1590, the sfege fermally began, lasting three months and seven days. The city— then a tenth of its present size—numbered over two hundred thousand souls; it contained eighty churches and sixty convents, ‘The investing army, fresh from the battle field of Ivry, Rumbered fiiceen thousand; and inside the walis there were filty thousand: milina aude® about four thousand regular soldiers, bystdes sixty-five pieces of cannon. Paris was Catholic aud tts assatl- anté Huguenot, and the antagonism of creeds was used by (le detenders te stimulate the populace: to extraordinary endurance, The investment was not complete, and though provisions, not being able (o arrive by the Seine, rapidly rose in price till they could not be bought tor money, yel some quantity of them was siauggied into the town. Henry never ‘used his artitfery, 0 that the pre ol the siege ended solely upon of = the power ol the inhabitants to Withstand thi nal diminution of their food supply. On the June—the wheat being exhausi aud the poor suf- Sering severely, while the members of the religious communiies retained their gleekness of conditon— it was decided that religious houses should maintain the poor, ON an liventory being taken of tne eccie- it was found that the Jesuits had eorn for wore than a year, the Capuchins bad bis- cenit in abundance, and generally the religious houses were furnished for six months more; a fact. that does not, of course, escape Voltaire’s satirical Mention iu his “‘Heuriade.” Soon Paris contaiued only two classes—the poor. who had money and no food and the poor who had weliher food nor money. As long 48 the latter Was of any nse the sliver ornaments of the churches were svld to buy provision: but eventually the stores of the monusteries were ox- Hausted, no corn was left, shéep ad oxen had dis- @ppeared; only the Mesh of horses, asses and dogs Was to be obtained.

Treaty revision 1s, evidently, the order of the day:— We have io & previous number advertea to the apathetlo celdness with which European atpioma- tists 1h 1815 listened to the just Claims of Prussia and Germany to be secured, by material guarantees, against perlodical ontoursty of French agg ressive- ness. Alter the fall of Napoleon it was pro- posed that @nvope should be divided into a group of States, in such a fashion that hone of thom — should possess a decided preponderance, Precautionary measures were taken to guard Engiand aud Russta against the ever restless ambition @f France; pnt, strange tonay, nothing was done to provide for the security ef her nearest and least protected neighbors, King- ‘loin of the Netherlanas was erected at the instiga- tion and in the faterest of Negiand, and Prussia saw herself necessitated to surrender her old territory of Guelderlaud and retire far behind the Meuse; ler province of Last Friestand was added, in spite ot ihe protestations and oppasition of the Inhabitant: to the British kingdom of Hanover, and Russia in- xerted the kingdom of Poland, like a wedge, be- tween Prossia and Austria, As France was allowed to retain Metz and Stras- bourg, two polnts from which sho threatened and commanded Southern Germany and@ the line of the Maine, tue defeace of central Europe, on the south fide, was chiefly fepencens, ou Austria retaining a strong position in ftaly, and on the Alpine passes being put invo the hands of the King of Sardinia, supposing Savoy like Switzerland to be deelared neutral territory; an arrangement which would pre- clude an attack on Germany from the direction of the Lake of Geveva. On the north, the kingdom of the Netherlands offered a position from witch France might be held in check, but it would have heen only available for the defence of Germany in case Bugland and the Netherlands desired a war with France. ‘to weaken Germany still farther the German @onfede: Was founded, the conne- qu-nt rivalry of Prussia and Austria and the jea- lousies of ths Middle States; while France, recover- ie trom her losses, s00n again ratsed the ory of the Rhine frontier, and conquered Algeria, from which she began to exercise a powerful ire on Italy. The July revolution came, and was Piahie icllowed by the revolt of the Belgians, which nce, of course, in her own interest, zealously promored, The neutrailty of Beigium was tinally guaranteed by Europe, and thus the most valneravle point of France was effectually protected from the danger of ‘an attack. From this oar forth Belgian neutraiit: becaine the spotied cuiid OF English statesmen, ‘and } gradually give tise, in Holland, toa very decided counterfecling i favor of France. A few years after the revolution of 1848 came the Crimean war, and in 1459 the Italian campaign, tn consequence of Which the position of Austria in Italy was Weakened, and the gates of the peninsula, Nice and Savoy, with the South shore of the Lake of Geneva, were ceded to France, It now became doubly necessary that South eeeDy should be ota not menaced, by the guas of Strasbourg. During the Schleswig-iolstem War, in 1864, Louis Napoleon declined to join England in her by no mean. friemlly de igns agains: Germany, and that Tor a double reason, First, he had the gratification of oxposing the tailitary weakness of Great Britain, and, secondly, he hoped to obtain, as the reward of his discretion, the coal basin of Saarbracken, In 1866 arose the cry of “Revenge for Sadewa;” then came the Beigiau railway afiaiw and the Luxem- beurg complication, all preitminaries toan atiack on North Germany by way of Belgium, in spite of her guaranteed neutrality. When Prussiaspoiled the French intrigue, aud avoided imminent war by withdrawing her garrison from Luxembourg, Euro- pean diplomati with Englond at .helr head, stepped in to neuiralize the xenibourg territory, and thus pushed back the German line of dcfeuce to the Rhine. AS a compensation for what has been taken from ug siuce 1815, for our diminished security by reason Of the declaration of Belgian neutrality and the with- drawal of our treeps from Luxembourg, France aud Europe must make up their minds to leave us in quiet pessession of wigs anc Metz, for we have loug ceased fo repose any coniidence in the “moral guarantees of 1815. RUSSIAN APPREHENSIONS. The foltowing is contensed from a letter to o contemporary from Moscow, dated the 27th ult.:— The Russians are at present avowing one great Apprehension Im order to mask, another and a greater whick they wish te conceal. The avowed anxiety is, of course, that old perpetual bugbear— “the anuexation of the Baltic proyinces—a fear Which has just been roused into absobte panic by an unpleasant ilttle paragraph in one of tho Berlin reviews, which, in the course of a criticisin upou @ recent work on the numbers and political status of the German race, takes occasion to remark:—“And the policy of consolidation which We are pursuing in the West with Alsace and Lor- Traine gna with equat advantage be pursued in the East, where such large and important tracts of country bave been torn from us.’ But there 1s a darker terror lurking in the bac! und, which dimly shows itself in the constant mention of Po- Jand by the daily press, and the fmterest with which the velegrams {rom Warsaw are read—the fear of a revival of Polish nationality under the protection of the Prassian Crown. The first appearance of the Black Kagle beyond the border would be the signal of universal revolt, and with the Baltic provinees annexed on the on? hand and insurgent Poland backed by the whole might of Prussia on the other, the great. empire would, inaced, be in evil case, eo gach ererasit eta over error fron- r any mo of Tussin upon Consi would be sheer insanity, ba pavacple JHE MARQUIS OF LORNE.

They beached her pretty nearly nigh and dry, and when tie gale was over the cargo was saved, but the vessel became a total wreck. The clauin of the ship was that the loss was a general average loss, the vessel having been sacrificed for the bereft of ail concerned. ‘the claim on the art of the defendauts was that what was dene had to be done as an absolute necessity, and that there was no choice left to the pur fies, who acted simply to save their own lives. The Court below heid that the beaching of the vegsel saved the cargo and that it was @ general overage, and decreed accordingly in favor of the Ubetlant. From this an appeal was taken.

To Newark, ac- coraingly, she went; but there was iniormed that the law was powerless to hold Caberet, as 1t only applied in cases where the wife was liable to become @ charge to the city, and as she lived in New York she had no claim in Newark.
