Paris and France.
: a.
ft.ing William oi rrussia uas oern
ttudered aad ba graoiously accepted
the -offer of Imperial Purple made to
ta him by the German States' Bad the
Qerman Empire is a settled thing, but,'
Saris has not surrendered, and France,
it not yet brought to submission.'' Tbe
war bas continued . wit varying for-
Bines, enlisting emr sympathies with
icrmany most decidedly ia the outset,'1'
snd changing only when the Empire
tat dethroned and tba Republio de
manded the respect and claimed- tba i
good wishes of Republican America
At the present time France astonishes
tbe world by massing armies and rais-
ies snd" maintaining an almost equal
Warfare against tbe , victorious Ger
mans. Under . the Empire tbe people
were easily discouraged and over
powered ; wbile under, the Republic
which, is only naif formed, and wita
a government divided between betleg.
ed Paris aad tbraateued Tours, the
people of France show the 'greatest
possible heroism, fortitude aad fidelity
to the Natioa. t
It eommeueet t look as if Paria :
could not be taken, and as if the arm
ies of France . wera able to snake tbe
soil of that nation ' nnteaable .ground
for the armies of Germany. Paris baa
yet two month's provisions, and the:
jiesleged army' is constantly making
formidable sorties against the Prus
sians with a prospect of ultimately
raising the siege. Is France all els i
abandoned to prosecute tbe war. - It fa
brought home to them ia so terrible a
manner tbat there Is bo recourse left
but- battle j no employmest left bat
war ; no hope left bat death or victory.
In Germany it is otherwise, aad while
we ..bear that volatile, (revolutionary
and reactionary Franc accept battiw
with one voice, and wage it wlthont
complaint against terrible discourage-
ments, wa hear from Berlin that a riot
has occurred in the Capitol of the vic
torious nation, aad that the military
force has quelled it by shedding the'
blood of the cititens. The attempt to
conquer France for it is no li
necfsaltates- that every ,-abla bodied.
German shall take tba field.'. This is
a strain no nation can bear, and occur
ring so early in the war, after only six
months of conflict, it carries tbe belief
to all dispassionate observers that UT
France can prolong the struggle abe
can in two months from bow secure
peace upon macb t better term than
Prussia baa yet offered.
