Sze daw nee of tbe Pkaynae.1 The following letter got out of Paris by balloon, or in the words of the envel ope's endorsement Par ballon Mole It will be found very interesting -Paris, September. 1870. The roar of cannon -la inaudible in Paris bo high, so numerous, so continual are the waves of sound made by the ctaseless din and restless life of this great eity, war's loudest clamors ineffectually hammers for admissian upon our wall of waves. Last week nineteen stone bridges on the Seine, this week Che great stone bridges of Neailly, St.

Cloud and Sevres were blown np, and nobody here knew of it until the. newspapers announced it. Skirmishes, iu which cannon have taken part, have occurred all around Paris; the 19th 43,000 men were hurled against at least an equal number the French alone tired 23,000 cannon balls still, I. who live scarce two and three-quarters miles from tbe scene of this unloosened hell, heard nothingof it 1 1 have sometimes thought the deaten-iug uproar one cause of the ill-health of great cities. It must drive oft that profound rest of the country which allows the eouI to sleep on that sentry's duty which it entirely never abandons.

The explosion of the mine which shatter xl iho Hftiillv hviHofl ia ranraanntaH a. a eomething Wonderfully terrible. TaeN earth in the neighborhood quaked as if Nature herself was in throes, and not a window pane escaped within a large radius around the mine. While the hostile forces have come in collision iu many places in tbe neighborhood of Paris, a reconnoissance in force near re tell and a battle on the plateau of Cbataiilon may deserve an especial mention. Gen.

d'Exea'a division was ordered from Vinoennes to explore ibe neighborhood as far as Creteil, where it was believed a rear guard some 3003 or 4000 men strong, the rear guard of the armv corns which was marching on Ver sailles in a manner to turn the fortresses on the north of Paris, so as to command them from tbe Cbataiilon. This reoon-nousance in force was deemed of so mnoh importance Gen. Vinoy himself afeenmed its command. The troops set out at 11 A. and after a three hours' march, came upon the Oerman rear guard, stoutly defended, on tbe summit of a gentle but high declivity, by earthworks and concealed from inquisitive view by a dense copse.

The Germans replied to the renoh tire with so much visor, and were evidently ho well nro- vided with artillery no attempt was made to force their position. After ex changing shots at a considerable distance for naif an hour, uen. Vinoy drew on bis troops and retired to Vinoennes, bringing back with him the men he bad lost 6 killed and 35 wounded. The plateau of Chataillon is the most important point in the neighborhood of Paris. It com mands the Montrouge, Issy and Vanves forts, and enables the besieger to send eo plunging a fire into the fortification! as to make them for several hundred yards absolutely untenable.

Strange to say, the French seemed to have, until the eleventh hour, been absolutely insensible of tbe importance of Chataillon Heights. Then they began to fortify them. It was to late The Germans having mossed the Seine on pon toons at Villeneuve St. Georges occupied in immense force it is said 150,000 mn-the dense forests which lie between Ver sailles and Paris: Meudon, Clamart, Vironay and Verrieres woods. Gen.

Da- crot, ignorant of their numbers and position, took 40,000 men and attempted to drive them back. He had the game to himself for half an hour. Hepoared cannon shells into Clamart Woods without drawing a reply. Bat when the reply did come, it was something terrible. The hail of bombs and balls was so in tensely heavy that even the Zouaves broke and ran.

and though the National Guard held their ground, Gen. Doc rot was obliged to abandon all outlying works, including the unfinished redoubt on Chatillon Heights, and retire behind the forts which form the outer line of the fortifications of Paris. The panic-stricken soldiery who made an irruption into the capital produced quite a panic They reported all for lost. Gen. Dacrot and his forty thousand men were killed, wounded, prisoners, or ia flight.

The very panio they caused roused hostile feelings against them. It seemed only justice that they should bear the brunt of the misfortunes they announoed. The scene whioh ensued baftiee description. The National Guards fell upon the fleeing soldiers, arrested them, dragged them with ignominious violence to prison, and upbraided them with oowardioe in tbe most taunting epithets tbe French language affords. Tbe soldiers anguish under these repeated and gross insults was acute.

Fears were at one time rife a feud between the National Guards and the army would be kindled whioh could not easily be extinguished. These were vain. Paris, however, was in a paroxysm of excitement, whioh sought relief in arresting every man whose accent oflended those maddened ears. and in searching every house whose nigner stones were too brightly illuminated, or on whose window curtains snaaowB came and went, or whose ten ants went witn lights from room to room. These, it waa thought, might be signals to tbe enemy.

Some girl, giddied by champagne, sang a careless song to merry muaio a private room of Vs. chette's restaurant. It waa ordered the voice be hushed and the lights to be extinguished. The oafea were too brilliant to suit with the mourning hour of the nation. The same authority ordered them to be ciosea.

When Gen. Trochu, after the affair of witnorew all his forces to tne forts and iinea behind them, the Germans occupied Villejuif Heights.

Montrouge and Bioetre forte opened at 4 A. M. an inoessant fire of artillery on Villejuif Heights. Paris quaked in bed, and thought, judging by the iearrui aiarm, tne end surely was at hand. Six honra lonr maIm! t.ha avrMi.

It waa provoking enough to stand behind the ramparts and hear the storm rasing without and hA ahi nothing, not even the bombs flying or bunting in mid-air. Bat if a man wishes to oe conscious oz us impotenoe let him try in time of battle topass sentinels in ucuclucq ox oruexsi j. ne oattie was, however, more noisy than sanguinary. Tbe French advanced on the heights of Villejuif to find them unoccupied! The Germans, when they found the French mt possession of the redoubt on the heights, advanced to drive them from it.

To be sure, the gates were closed, and sentinels angrily lowered their bayodwts and ordered the publio to keeb at a -diatanoe, bat one had the satisfaction of getting intelligence fresh from the battle-field. One man declared the Frenoh had 40.000 German prisoners, 80 cannon and 47 mitrailleuses, while the German loss was 15.000 killed and wounded. You should have heard the cheers! Another man presently came, Heaven knows whence, snd he swore tbe Germans had lost 12000 men killed, 18,000 wounded, 50,000 prisoners BO cannon and 80 mitraillenaes. Joy became delirious agony.

Wild, wild, wild was the cheering. Tears trickled down many a cheek. Mm bugged and kissed and sobbed their delight. Deafening were tbe cheers for army, Trochu and until the cry was raised Here come the prisoners Borne by the dense throng for be who failed to run with them was sure to be knocked down and trampled on I went to tbe neatest sate to the west and waited with breathless impatience to see tne uenuan prisoners, waited tnere an hour, when a National Guard-made his appearance with a German helmet in band. "Heie they come! Here they come Here they come twenty thousand screamed.

There was breathless excitement. Every eve was eagerly bent on the gate. Don't you bear tneir tranip whispered a man in my ear, seizing my hand and wringing it to express bis delight to have lived to see such an hour. I confess I thought I did bnt the truth is. waking or sleening.

I inquired the object The prisoners are coming down this way and we are wait ing to see them."

I waited here to see the procession of the vanqnisnea. in about an nour a oloud of dustin the south irradiated by many a gleam or iignt dancing on bayonet or parrel, tnrew tne crowd into intense excitement.

"'Here they come." It really seemed so. There was no oheer ing. expectation was toe engrossing for tbat.

But it turned out there was nothing in the I waited here two hours, and seeing nothing but orowd which grew constantly denser returned home.

After dinner I went on tbe Boulevard St. Michel again, the crowd was denser than ever and still expecting the prisoners. The whole riencb loss during tbe battle was one man silled, nve men wounded. Nevertheless, I shall always look back to the day of the battle of Villejuif Heights as the day of the greatest excitement I ever witnessed. BATTLE OF CHE7ILLY.

Paris, October, 1870. The battle of Villejaf Heights left the French in rxwseesion of the heights be- Jond Villejuif under the circumstances mentioned. The Germans were mas ters of L'Hay, Cheviily, Thias and Cboisy-le-Roi, villages which covered their line of oommunioation. from the Seine to Versailles. Immediately after the battle of Villejuif, the Germans began to cover themselves in these villages with such a system of earthworks, and to make loop-holes so systematically iu every house, the French began to fear they would build an impenetrable position, which might prove an onsurmount-able obstacle to the future operations of the besieged.

The Frenoh determined to drive them from it. At 4 A. M. Fort Ivry opened fire. Troops under Gen.

Vinoy had been massed daring the night between the Frenoh outposts and the French forts of Ivry, Bioetre and Montrouge. Towards day the right and left wings were contracted until there were strong bodies of men resting on the redoubt of the Moulin Saquet and the redoubt of Brugeres, both of which are immediately south of Villejuif, one being southeast and the other southwest of it. The centre of the army was weakest, being used chiefly as a reserve. The redoubts just mentioned are as it were the right and left angles of the base of a triangle whose apex ia Cheviily. The village is about a mile or a mile and a half distant from the redoubts.

The ground for the greater part of the way slopes toward Cheviily. bnt just before the village it rises again. The neighboring fields are covered with briars, Btnnted wood and grape vines. The Germans had fortified themselves Btrongly. Loop-holes had been made in every house.

The houses were connected together by thick barricades. On the right of the village entrenchments had been dug aa far as L'Hay wood, on the left as far aa La 8anssage farm. The German skirmishers swarmed in the briars and grape vines, and kept up a warm fire against the Frenoh while falling back before latter. The Frenoh forts and redoubts bailed balls and bombs on the German skirmishers and village until the French had advanced so near them the artillery could not play without damage to the French troops. The latter opened fire as soon as they got within 200 yards of the Germans, who replied with so withering a hre the Gardes Mobile ran back.

They were, however, almost instantly rallied by the clarions sounding" forward The fire was so hot the French were ordered to scatter like skirmishers, and to advance crouching on the ground. Occasionally the clarion sounded rear, to make the men break the ranks and fall into columns, that the mitrailleuses might play on the Germans. The ranks then closed again and reopened fire. As soon as they got near enongn tney enarged tne entrenchments with the bayonet and carried them with a dash, but with a loss. The Germans retired in then usual excellent order to their second line of entrenchments, and onoe more poured a hot fire into the French.

The latter retired. mowed down as tney ten back bv tne fierce fire of the Germans. The French loss in this battle has been stated in various numbers. We have no official accounts of the losses. Among the killed wss Gen.

11th Oct I have come to the conclu sion 1 can make-the course of events hue clearer and more interesting to yoa it 1 drop the. form of a letter aad take mat ox a oiary. it win enable yoa to eee the events as they occur, to live our life here. Yesterday Mona. Gustavo Fiourens, the frantic demagogue, made another attempt to overt brow tne rro-visional Government.

Fortnnately the National Guards refused to support him.1 mean tbe National Guard of his neighbor- uvwu, uuiBTuiB, vtuoa us, aa yoa. auiow, "the Faubourg St. Antoine of this day. lie nao tne rappet beaten iu tbe streets of Belleville at noon. Tbe National Guards, upon hearing the object Of the summons, declared by so large a majority they would not take part in any such movement, the minority were too feeble in force, and too disorganized (the retreat of the majority left but skeletons of companies) to move.

Nevertheless so much alarm was felt at the Hotel de Ville the Provisional Government deemed it prudent to have the rappel beaten, which drew 10,000 National Gnards to its defence. Yon will be surprised to hear that Messrs. Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc share Mons. Gas Cave Flouiens' views. We are living over again 1848 a weak Republic with well-meaning but incapable men at its head, warred on by irantio demagogues who have learned nothing from the past and nothing from their exile ia free countries, while the great mass of the.

people care little for liberty and a great deal lor order, peace and prospen There is, moreover, this difference 1 tween 1848 and 1870 a difference prob ably fatal to the Republic the mass of the French people remember the 18 years oi oraer ana prosperity given tbem by the Empire; they attribute recent dis-set era to traitors to the Emperor. Mons. Gustavo Fiourens, not content with trying to raise the armed mob against tne rTovisiooal Government, attempted to persuade his friend Mona. Henri Rochef ort to resign his place in it and put nimseit at tbe bead of the black gnards of Bellville and La Villette. Mona Rochefort refused to do so iu this note, whose language is certainly the moat extraordinary ever used by a states man: aiy aear riourens xou press me to sena in my resignation as a mem ber of the Government I took this place against my will; but have I a right to leave itf (This is the question.

Now they have become a party question, ana ii i naa made them Cabinet question, what assurance have you that at this very moxient we should not hear at the same time the guns on the ramparts and I the muskets in the streets 1 have descended into the most impenetrable vaults of my conscience, and I have come back telling myself my witnorawai rrom tne government might lead to a conflict, and that to lead to a conflict now would be to batter down tne ramparts to tne Prussians. This is the motive which has led me to oonsent to the postponement of the elections. The Empire postponed us for twenty years.

Let us be patient enough to stretcn tbe atrao inn til after the nen nas been raised, xou may, my dear and excellent friend, insist that I capitulate witn my oonviouons ii you do so you will instantly excuse me, for I capitulate with my conscience to avert a capitulation with the Pnusiana.

Have you not just in tbe most patriotic manner withdrawn your resignation 1 silence my political instincts I would our excellent friends of the First Dis trict would let theirs slumber. At the suitable time, which is immediately after the departure of the Pnusiana.

we shall all ox us know where to meet again. A thousand fraternal embraces. Hbnbi Rocbxfobt." Tbe French losses so far by the war are set down at $4,000,000,000 gold seventeen Frenoh counties are in possession of the Germans. In this estimate the loss of Alsace and German Lorraine are not included. The destruction of property at 8trasburg by the cannon balls and bombs must be very great.

The Frensh cannon are deing great de struction in the vicinity of Paris. St. Cloud is almost a wreck. It is feared in Paris the French bombs will destroy both the palaces of St. Cloud and Men- don.

Clamart, Lower Meudon, Chatail lon, Villejuif, Bondy have suffered a good deal from bombs and cannon balls. All the bridges around Paris, except the bridge at ft emu v. nave been destroyed seventeen bridges were blown up in one night. All the houses in front of the for-tincations have been destroyed; their loss alone ia set down at gold. The destruction of the Bo is de Boulogne is not as thorough as the newspapers re ty re sent; but it will take years and mil lions of francs to efface war's soars from it The destruction of property' around Metz, Strasburg and Sedan ia very great Tbe loss of property by the railways from absence if receipts, payment of servants, loss of interest on money, is enormous.

Tie only railway stations in Paris now open are Vin-cennes, which railway runs trains to Bel Air, the St. Lazare Station whioh runs trains on the belt railway from Auteuil to Bel Air, the Northern Bail way, whioh runs trains to St. Denis.1 The Strasburg, Mont Parnasse and Northern Railway stations are used to drill Gardes Mobiles. The Soeauxstation is occupied by peasant families who fled before the Republic is embarrassed what use to make of the valuable collection of precious objects. The jewels, rock crystals, engraved stones and other kindred objects were, some years since, exhibited to the publio in a museum, which, they will never leave.

I dare say more than one of your readers has, like me, acarcalyi known which most to admire, tbe treasures of the museum of the crown gems and jewels or the magnificent Galerie d'Anollon in which they are placed. In 1791 aa inventory of the crown diamonds recorded there were 9547 diamonds, worth Among these was the famous Regent diamond, weighing 127 carats. AS ASTICLS IN TBI XASCtLLTX CBXXD.
