Thave received the following letter from the New York HERALD correspondent at Versailles, dated December 22, Your correspondent writes: SEARCHING VERSAILLES, Domiciliary visits are the order of the day in Ver- sailles, whatever may be the pretext for them. ‘Whether they have been intended as & search for arms and spies, it is certain that the most important Fesult has been the capture of a considerable num- ‘ber of rufians and thieves capable of committing Qny atrocity. It is believed that they were walting to renew their plundering operations when Opportunity should offer, The manner in which the search has been made has been childish where not brutal, taasmuch as it has been partial or imperti- Rent, according to the pleasure of the Chief of Gen- darmes. The search, however, has been carried out {with Prussian minuteness at the great hotel, and the residences of their Serene Llighnesses have not been exempt. Rooms have been entered and their occu- pants required to give a full explauation of their po- sition and business, CONDITION OF PARIS. Some Prussian officers who have been exchanged came to headquarters yesterday. They confirm the statements previously mace by me as to the condl- tion of Parts. Food of the very best quality can be had in the restaurants, Four theatres are open, and cabs and omnibuses ply the streets as usual. The ‘shop windows present as brilliant an appearance as before the siege, and the cafés are crowded from morning vill might. THE PROSPECT, These Prussian officers report that perfect conf- ‘dence reigns in Paris, both tn General Trochu and in the future military operations. The only persous suffering from tne state of siege are the lower ‘classes, Which are unable to pay the war prices. tNevertneiess, being fed by the government, their hardships are not severe. From all accouats re- ceived by the oficers Paris is able to hoid out ttil the end of February, THE LAST SORTIE. Yosterday’s attack by the French on the Prussian lines was a comprehensive affair, bold in concep- fon, but feeble fn execution. One hundred thou- sand French troops were engaged, besides the gun- boats and upwards of twenty batteries, without counting the guns of the carthworks. The German Joss was insignificant. PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT, The main efforts of the French were made with three divisions of infantry and one hundred guns on Aubray and Sevran, their right wing resting on Bondy and their left on Bobigny. Movements were also made against Le Grand Drancy and Le Bour- get, where the French got a hot reception from four batteries of the Guard Artillery, stationed at Pont Ulion, cutting them up terribly. These potnts assatied are all situated north and northeast of Paris and are before forts St. Dents, Aubervillters, Romainvitic and Noisy. THE FRENCH REPULSH. ‘The infantry of the Prussian Guard got into action hereabouts, driving ba:k the French to thelr forts in great disorder, from which they dtd not rally. With wthia reception the repulse of the sortie was effected, Tho small loss of the Germans was ave to the effective manner in which their artillery was handled. The four batteries of the Pruasian Guard opened tire at a distance of 1,400 yards and did tm- mens¢ damage to the French columns as they were advancing, Afew minutes sufticed to make them ‘waver, and although their officers were seen en- deavoring to keep them together they scvou broke and fell back utterly discomfted, They know better pow than to encounter the Saxon field batteries. In the endeavor to capture Anbuay aud Sevrain gunboats were brought to Epinay, frora wnich place they kept up an incessant fire all night on the Prus- slau Guards, but with little effect. Bombardment of Fort Avron—French Waste of Ammunition. ‘Loxpon, Dec, 27, 1870. A telegram from Dresden dated to-day states that ® telegraphic despatch from the commanding general of the Saxon troops hefore Paris announces that the bombardment of Fort Avron commenced to-day. ‘This fortification is the most advanced of the French outworks east of Paris, and crowns Mount Avron, a considerable elevation six miles from the city wall. PRENCH WASTE OF AMMUNITION. ‘The latest advices from Versailles are to the effect that the fortifications of Paris still waste thetr am- munition by an ineffectual cannonade of the Pensslan positions, MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS.

A LIFE ON THE OUKAN WATE. Four Hundred Trips Acrags the Atlantic—Com- plimentary Testimonia!t to Captain E. G. Lott, of the Russia. There agsembied wi Delmionico's last evening over 250 of the many friends of Uaptain E. G. Lot, of the Cunard steamship Russia, to honor the oceuston of his four hundredth wip across the Atlantic, which he will commence to-day. Captain Lott commanded the Arcadia in the mouth of March, 1841, when she made her first voyage from Liverpool to Boston, He next toox charge of the Caledonia, with which he remained seven years. The steam- ship Europa was ¢ entrusted to his care, and subsequently the Asia, Whicn he commanded for eight years. He afterwards became capiain of the Persia, then of the Jata and lastly of the Russia, of which latter he is new the popular and hignly esteemea commander. Alter the retirement of Captain Judkin, which will shortly take place, Captain Lott will be appointed commodore of the Conard tleet of steamships, The large number of Americans yearly cros#iig the Atiantic aud the vast amount of business carried on between the merchunts here and those on the other side give + innamerabie opportunities for the Cisplay of mucn kindness and courtesy on tie pari of capiains com- manuiug (he English sicajers. la some instances the captaius fail to appreciate the necessity of being POLITE, AMEABLH AND ATTENTIVE to passengers, and the rfsuli in such eases is in- vanably detrimental to he interests of the com- pany. Nobody cao makémore substantial friends than the commanders of the ocean steamers. Civility costs ititle, and pasxenges are not unimindful of a generous or considerate pct while on the voyage. Captain Lott is to the Cipard tine what the genial Captiuin achesne was tgthe French Ime of steam- ships. The influential assemblage of ladies and gen- tiemen that thronged th@spacious drawing rooms at Delmonico’s last eveang gave a splendid en- dorsement of the esteempwith which Captain Lote is universally regarded byocean traveliers. During his long and donorablt career he has won the hearty und cordial trgidship of the thousands with’ whom he, has}come in contact, His characterisuc urbanity, zood bature, cheerfulness, gentlemanly bearlug id ability are weil known, and in preseating him won a very handsome testi- montal his friends Qid o brore than the gailuot and accompiisned scatman dese .

[ts Grace received me courteously. During @ private audience which he accorded me, and again Lowards the close of a general conversa- tion, the Mishop invited me to breaksast with him to-day, the 18th inst, He named the hour of noon, Laccepted the compliment which was thus paid to the Henan. Ou tho day apvointed [arrived at the Eplacopal manston @ few minutes velore twelve o'clock, Iwas usbered into the presence of the Bishop Immediate- ly. Tfound the great leader of what is known as the tiberal Catholic party of lrance—indeed, I may aay, of Europe—surrounded with the usual number of ecclesiastical atvendants and a few clergymen, who had been invited ‘o mect me. A CONVERSATION. Lrepeat, as it was fully understood (hat I would, the conversation which occurred on the occasion, first in the Itvrary and again round the breakfast table. CourEsronDENT—Monselgveur Dupauioup, I would have liked to have paid you a visit during the past winter in Rome, whem engaged tu the discharge of my professional dutica for the [egaLp, but I re- oeived information te the effect that your dally at tendance and labor in the Keumenical Council pre- vented you from according special personal inter- views; hence | had not the pleasure of making your acquatatance at the Villa Gaztole. NOTHING TO BK EXPECTED WROM THE ARMY OF THE LOIRE. Monsigneur Durantove—I am charmed, sir, to sec you, and right glad that we can have a chat over the matters which are connected with these terrible times here in France. You have been ve- fore Paris, Well, what news have you from there ? Thear that the French withdraw in good order after their grand sorties, They are not routed. That is something; but if aid had been expected from the Army of the Loire it would Nave been better not to have made the sortie. That army ts only a collec uon of men, among whom the greatest demoraliza- tion i# created the moment they come in contact with the Prussians. I saw General just before the evacuation of Orleans, He is a firm but sensible man, but could do nothing, such or- ders were seut trom Tours. De Patadines You say that he is by some bulleved to be the Duke of Nemours, Such a report is absurd, 1 know both well, and saw the Duke in Rome last winter. If any one 1s concealea under the name of De Paladines it certataly is not the Duke of Nemours, whoever he may be, FRANCE ANXIOUS FOIt PEACE. CORRES PONDENT—Since J teft Italy [ have travelled through France and have been a witness to much suffering, in spite of the friendsilp displayed by the peopte, the one with the other. Innumerapie vil- lages have been ravaged and deserted, and the coun- try indicates the horrors of war where r i have been, What should be done, Monseigneur? What think you of the prospect? Monseignew Durantour—Peace should be made tainly; but it seems to me as if France ts just now in a sitnation without Issue (c'est un sttuation sans issue), If Paris give up that would end the matter; but Trochu is not free im the capital. Around him are hordes of ignorant, clamorous people who would take the apper hand immediately tf the General should attempt anything like a surrender. As for te bombardment of Putis, Bismarck told Thiers that he was not golug to bombard. Besides, the Germans have not taken any of the forts yet, which is drst necessary. By the yielding of Paris the Prus- slaus would have a paramount tufuence over the reat of France. + GAMBETTA A LIAR. CORKESPON DENT—M. Gambetta to the contrary ¢ Monsigueur DuraNtowr—Yes. He 13 convicted by his proclamation on General de Paladines as a War of the first order (7 menteur de premier ordre), As you Dave been told, the capture of Orleans took place under my own eyes. We know of what we are talking. Instead of two hundred thousand men and five bundred guns, as Gambetta says De Pala- dines baa, I can say from my own positive know- ledge that he had only some fifty thousand men tn front of the Prince, the rest being scattered for retreating or ight. General de Paladines’ plan (rom the first was contrary to this, It was a pretty way to carry op war for Gambetta, an empty dema- gogue, and three poor old men, Cremieux, Glais- Bwoin and Fourjeaux (°) to send orders battle Acid forty oY! They only imperceptibly prolong the war by putting themselves at Wie head of some more ferocious mob, and even then their efforts cou'd not be for long. I don’t think the Army of the Lotre capable of restst- ing the Prussians. The probability 1s of that army, to a leagues could which ts made up entirely of raw, untratned men, meiting away by the process of desertion. J kaow that the general wish of the inhabitants of France, except a few bloodthirsty democrats, 1s to have peace, Thiers mugit negotiate very well, GENERAL MATTERS. Mere the Bishop paused to HU my glass with wine, { paying, “give yqu sucu hoavitaliy a4 aia gapamle NEW YORK HERALD, WEDN 4 ESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1870. of. Tam notin my own house, but a gnest of the ambulance society, whose directors allow me all you see on the table, Tam, moreover, guarded a4 a prisoner." ‘The Bishop then resumed:—"1 know all about the villages in the neighborhood of Paris. You tell me they are all more or less destroyed. What a change! 1 am surprised that the Prussians do vot run the railways more."" CorREsroNDENT—There La no rolling stock except on the railway east of Paris, which the Germans have captured. There is none, for the French have always taken care to remove the locomotives and cars whenever there has been a chance of their fall- ing into the hands of the Germans, Monsigneur DouraN.oor—What constitutes the weakness of the French troops is the mob, What constitutes the strength of Gambetta ts Paris, which city 1s, in a raeasure, bound to hold out as a point of honor, You have, perhaps, news regarding the lialian invasion of Rome, For some time we have been In the dark, receiving no letters or papers, Does the Holy Father walk abroad ? CORRKSPONDENT—The latest dates represent the Holy Father as still shut up in the Vatican. YRENCH REPUBLICANISM MISNANED. Monsigneur DuPANLoUP—The people of Orleans are suifering greatly, both from want of food and quiet, They have been troubled with 40 many gol- diers quartered on them that Il am quite sure that they are aul in favor of peace. T understand that in America great taterest is felt in favor of poor France. Well, from all I have seen of the American prelates the United Statea must be a nation of grand im- pulses and generous feelings, But sympathy simply on occount of the declaration of the republic ia mis- placed, The present rulers never made a republic Worthy to be called such by Americans, France haa to suffer much and to learn much before she will be fit to be enrolled side by xide with such republics as the United States, DOES NOT LIKE THE REPUBLIC. This concluded the conversation. The Bishop bade me farewell, mviting @ repetiton of the visit if such were destred, As will be perceived, Bishop Dupanioup spoke freely, but “round the compass.” He ts evidently anxious to get rid of the republic, but still hopes that France will ve successiul in her resistance, THE MILITARY SITUATION, Since the battle near Beungency there has been no fighting in this neighborhood, but plenty of skir- mishing onthe outposts. The Bavarlan troops are greatly worn, but the Prosstans remain fresh ana resolute, An American ambuiance corps, with ten doctors and twenty horses, ia bere aud has done good service. THE STR'KING SHOEMAKERS. Mase Meeting of Crispins at the Cooper Union Last Evening. For the purpose of ascertaining the feelings and opinions of the entire organization of the Crispina upon the subject of co-operation and for aixcussing its merits and demerits, a mass meeting was held last evening in the large hall of the Cooper Unton, which wa# not, however, as well attended as its organizers desired tt should be. What was wanting in numbers, however, was tally made up In enthu- siasm, for every one present seemed bent on busi- nes4, and that, bo, of the most earnest character, Mr. Michael Ferguson was cnosen chairman, and upon calling the meeting to order he stated the ovject for which the meeitng had been called. He then introduced Mr. Nelson W. Young, who, although he was sutfering from severe indisposition, made a a good, sensible and surring speech, which was warmly upplaude throughout, He = said that, as their late employers had refused to compromise = the ~— difficulties existing between theinselves and the Crispins, there was nothing left for them (the Crispins) to do but organize themselves into co-operative companies of, say twenty-five each, and go to work on their own responsibility. If they would do this they need have no solicitude for the result, for tnev could undersell their late employers at the rate of from $5 to $6 per case, and this he thought would soon bring certain parties he uhon, who are how swearing agalust the Crispius, to their Young’s remarks Mr. Michael Murphy was introduced, He read np set of resolutions denouncing the manulacturers in good round terms, aud declaring their intention to itve in the future entirely mdependent of them, by es- tablishing co-operative shops of their ow ‘These resolutions were adopted unanimously, after which Mr. Eagan, a good jooking gentleman’ from Cork, came forward, and, after making a few remarks, which were calculated to encourage the Crispths in their new undertaking, presented them with cheek for $500, and said thal so long as the stri lasted they might call upon him for $25 a week to assist them, Speeches were made geutlemen, alter which Ub y some half dozen other nblage dispersed, AMRAIGNMENT OF LEADING BOSTON MERCHANTS ON CHARGE OF SMUGCLING.
