THE CEDED TERRITORY. ‘The map which we publish above shows the ter- "itory which, by the treaty of peace, has been ceded to Germany. It also indicates the principal points mow in the occupation of the Prussians, and from the frequency with which the signal flags of Ger- many stud the map a good general idea may be formed of the large area of country which has been ravaged by the enemies of France. The territory now yielded inciudes in Alsace all the Department of the Bas Rhin and tie whole of the Department of the Haut Rhin, with the exception of a part of the srrondissement of Belfort, such exception including the valuable fortress of Belfort.

The special correspondent of the Hrrarp | in Paris transmits the following telegraph let- ter from the French capital, under date of the 3d instant—Friday, noon—and I forward it by cable telegram to New York for publica- tion :— On my return to Paris on Thursday night, the 2d instant, I found that the French Na- tional Assembly had agreed to the terms of peace with Prussia. Being desirous to see Pari, even after an absence of thirty hours, I visited the Boule- yards, Here I found crowds of people assem- bled. Every one was talking, and all ap- parently at once, with the greatest earnest- ness, and all rejoicing at the fact of the conclusion of the war. In the Rue Royale there were still double lines of Prussfan sentinels on duty. I was stopped at the Place la Concorde by a 7 | soldier, who said, | pass on the other side.” yearly income is estimated at 82,000,000 francs. ‘There is also a growing iron indusiry. Eighteen mines aré now being worked and thero are also ex- tensive foundries. Other manufactures are also prosecuted, and the industrial interests of the de- partment just previous to the war were very pros- perous and rapidly growing. The great city of the department is Strasbourg, with 85,000 inhabitants, whose cathedral and other public edifices and his- toric traditions make tt, perhaps, the greatest prize secured by Germany. Haguenau (11,427 inhabitants) comes next in point of size and wealth. It has large corn mills and soap factories and possesses considerable commercial value. stadt (10,040 inhabitants), Saverne (5,489 inbabitants), Obernat (5,185 inhabitants), Bischiviller (9,911 inhabi- tants), and the smaller towns of Wasselonne, Wis- sembourg, scheim and Mutzig, together with many ‘You cannot pass here; I did so in obedience to the order and came to the entrance to the Champs Elysées. Here I observed batteries of guns planted on my | left and approached nearer to examine them. I was “brought up” on this occasion by the point of a sword, and told very graffly to “‘move on.” I must say here that the German soldiers when on duty observe a very bad habit; they act with their arms first and speak after- wards. There were strong pickets of Uhlans sta- tioned at some distance up the different ave- nues, and troops of Prussian hussars held ready to mount in saddle at a moment's notice. At the Palace Industrie there were crowds of French people belonging to the lower classes of society.

The general character of the department is similar to that of the Bas Rbin, but it is more extensively a manufacturing country. The soll is held almost en- tirely by small peasant populations, of whom there are no less than 174,000, Its total annual income from agriculture 1s 55,000,000 francs. The tron interest is, however, the most distinctive industry, and fur- aces flame out all over the country. There are also many machine shops and factories for the manu- facture of woolien and cotton goods, ribbons and poitery. A great deal of wine and brandy ts produced.

The value of its annual agricultural produce has been 64,000,000 francs, aud its iron mines and general industries are perhaps of equal value. Metz, ever historic, under date of the 3d instant:—The Prussian occupation of Paris is ended. It commenced last night, although the fact was not gene- rally known; and at half-past six o’clocix this morning the evacuation began. THE PRUSSIAN PAGEANT. The movement was conducted in regular order. The cavalry and artillery were in the advance. On the sidewalks along the line of march Prassian and Bavarian infantry faced the roadway. At the hour of half-past eight o'clock in tho forenoon the first men heading the main body passed through the Are de Triomphe with bands playing and the regimental colors flying. The soldiers went right - straight under the arch, all obstacles to the route having been removed. The column of General Shaickeyer, com- MARCH—SPLENDID MILITARY | when passing.

At the hour of nine o'clock in the morning the Bavarian artillery and infantry, preceded by full army bands, arrived, and in a few minutes afterwards the head of the Prassian column came ou the ground. The Prussians marched in column by sec- tions. A GLORIOUS SUNBURST. Tho weather, which had been foggy hitherto during the moroing, new cleared, and the sun burst out gloriously, revealing the grand proportions and elegant appearance of the arch, The impression was fine and effective.
