10 THE TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1870. THE INVESTMENT OF PARIS. (from ock sreciat. iaero; fcT.) OF THE 12TB ROTAL 8AXO.V ARMY CORPS. LE VKRT CALAXT, Dec.

li A sever (rott of several days' duration ha been raccoedej by a rapid thaw. Yesterday, we had iii degree of froat, the anrfarw of tho Canal cTOurc. tu a sheet of ice, every tree looked ai though it had hrai stepod in a to! ut ion of white ugr, and the fields and highways were of srowy whiteness. Hiding or driving was next to impossible. All the military farriers were hard at work, as they fcad been night and day aince Thursday, roughing tlio horse but to day the tree are dripping.

We hare coll sludge under our feet, an! the rain i descending in torrents. Everything loiiks cheer let outside, but the military bands are playing "God Save the King "and we are al! to preatnt otir congratulations to Princ (I ear a 1 eanse this is his Itoyal father' birthday. Die National Anthem of Saxony, it the same as our, and itt strains at daybreak this morning recalled to ono mind home and England and Christmas. Tie King of Saxony ia one of tlie most accomplished of princes a scholar, and a lover of the fine art. He has given his countrymen the best translation they have of Dante, and, an author himself, he encourage those who make literature their profession.

Such a man liavo joine 1 in the war with much rcluctauce, but, having felt obliged to do so, lie did it thoroughly. He is too old to lead his troops in the. Geld but both his. sons, the Crown Trince and Prince (Soorge, have bevnaith them since the the cam laign. They have so distinguished themselves, before and at the battle of Sedan, that when the Germans set oat to invest Paris, a fourth army, the Maas Army, was formed; the Crown Prince, who till then had been a General of Division, was placed head, and one of the most important jrliap I might aay the most important positions in the line of investment was given to the 12th Koyal Saxon Army Corps, under the command of Prince George.

As for the Saxon troops themselves, their gallantry aad saccets have been most marked, from the battle of St. Privat to the splendid encounters with Ducrot's army on the 30th ult, and the 2d of this month. Since then the Ordtr ofMerit ha been conferred on Prince "George by the King of Prussia. VI have given up all hope of an early capitulation. Indeed, we have strong indications of its improbability in preparations which tho French cannot conceal from oar eyes.

They hare done great things within the last month in strengthening the fortifications and in the erection of very troublesome batteries. But Paris ia nearly starved out, say some persons. That was the opinion here some weeks'ago. It does not appear to have been at all well founded. General Trochu has not taken much pains to disabuse people of the idea.

He has his reasons for that. As I stated in more than one of my letters, we had conflicting accounts from prisoners and deserters as to the quantity of titrtt in Paris and the rations which the troops received. The French soldier taken prisoners in the battle of last week and the dead French troops on the field were all well nourished men. There was not the least appearance of starvation about them, if ore than one of the prisoners told me they had had plenty to eat. But we have had some interesting independent evidence within the last 24 hours.

Yesterday there arrived within our lines four German oScers who had been taken prisoner outside Paris, and who had been exchanged against four French oHioers taken in soma part of South, where the Army of the Loire had beeu engaged. One of thoaj German officer states that nothing could have beeu better than their treatment while under detention. They were kept in Paris for several days, but not on prison fare or short commons." He himself had dined with two French Generals, and the dinner and dessert were excellent. Several dishes of. meat were Stirred, two of them being roast beef and Teal.

He was taken about to different restaurants, pour s'amujer, and hi bill at those establishments, as well as Li carriage hire, were paid by his jailors. But that is not all. No amount of misfortune makes a French gentleman forget that courteous consideration for which he is so eminently remarkable. It was suggested that it would not bo convenient for the German officers to go about Paris in their uniform, and each prisoner was presented with, a thousand francs to provide himself with mnti. All this was done in the handsomest manner iu such a way that the officers could not ueclina.

The attention wero otfered with a delicacy that forbade refusal. I hope such politeness will be duly reciprocated. THE AUSTRIA EMPIRE. Mr. Arthur M.P., ox ock Fokeky RELATIONS.

Mr. Arthur RatteH, M.P. for Tavittoek. ia aa 'addret recently delivered by him to hi coniti tlitcuvel the Eastern and Alabama difficulties. IarcfeiVoce to tb former he observed that no exeat eoald I made for th manner in which the liui siae Government bad acauanaed thrir intention do treaty, t.

The action of Kama weakened the force cf all international obligations, anl threw discredit on th public law of En rope. wool I be ahturd on the part of Great Britain now to say to Rattia, Yon don't think treaties binding an your cino very well, we win mate another treaty with you i You kar jutt declared that your signature is worthiest, therefore picas be eooj enough to sign thi Mr. Rut 41 thought oar beat enurte war to get teleaaed In the propose!

It ltl rears ago siaoa a aioular (ntOH Oral artTMA CORtrOXDXXT.) fSSTH, Dec 11 I pointed out in a former letter why the Eastern Question was one of life and death to Austria.

The Empire harbours smaller or larger, fragments of ditlerent races and nationalities, bulk of which dwell outside of it. In these itys of rapid and regular communication it would be in vain to prevent a certain action and reaction between the kindred elements forming parts of different holies jwlitic. They all hare the same ten jdency, which is to unite with thi? neighbouring I kin fin! races and to firm one natioaility, and every diplomitio or jiolitical coinplicatiori in. tho Kast lieconlrs the signal for a more or less general i stir them all. That the ltusian Circular would have this eJect could be furcseen, it, strange to sy, it is not among tho Christian populations of Turkey that the 6rsi uiauifeitations hsiy occurred, but amon; the Slavonic population of Austria.

Vhi.Ie the former havo not only not given as yet a sign of but seem have) been tiite oifviided by the assurances which Hussia has given to the Powers that it dors not mean tu stir up Latern Ques tion, nay, is ready to convilt aliout new guarauUes which rhsy lo rriuired for the maintenance of tho integrity of the Ottoman Empire, the Czechs and the South races of Austria have found in the Hussian initiative a stimulus to' bring forward their pretcusioua once more. About a week aao a South Slavonic Conference was held at Laibach, the aim of which was to bring about a union among the and Slovones of inhabit the territory extending from Lthe river Drave to the Adriatic. Theso races are now diridod between the two halves of the Em I pire the Serbs and Croats llonging to" the Crown 1 of Hungary, while the Slovones of Southern Styria, Cariuttiia, and Carnio'a lielong to Austria, an are represented in the Ileichsrath. The programme, as formulated at Laibach, aims at upsetting the present constitution of the Monarchy and intro I ilucing 4 aort of federalism. Instead of keeping up Ithe two legislative bodies now inactivity in the Monarchy, every one of these groups of united i races is to have a sort of Parliament of its.

own. and to send members from the National to a Com in ju Delegation. This is more or leas what the Czechs aim at. It is iinpoaaible to. form a clear idea how a State machinery thus constructed is to work.

Indeed, the rimers of. the programme appear to have been to much in the dark about it that the result of. the Conference was rather negative than positive, all were to erably agreed to upset what exists, but no oue was ijuite clear about what was ta be substituted for it. So far as one can set) through the haze, the 17 Provincial Diets which now exist in Austria ire to remain, but instead of sending members to the Reiclisrath in Vienna, the Itohemian, Moravian, and Silesian are to hare one Parliament the German provinces, Upperand Lower Austria, aud Northern Styria another Croatia, Slavonia, Dalraatia, Ca rinthia, CaruioLa, Gorz, and Trieste a third Gali cia and Uukoviua a fourth and Tyrol a separate Whoever knows the delays and di3iculties which the two Parliaments now existing the Austrian and Hungarian occasion may form an idea of the hopeless confusion such an organization would produce. More interesting than this manifestation in the South is that made by the Czechian leaders, Palacky, Iteigor, Urann, and Klandy.who have addressed a memorial to Count Beust, which pretends to give expression to tbe ideas of the Slavonian population of Austria on foreign policy.

The memorial is signed by all those members of the Bohemian Diet who are known under the name of the Dalamanti" for having signed the declaration which explains tbe rights of the Bohemian Crown, and take these as the basis of their political creed. Most of them bare been elected by direct elections to the Keichsrath, but aa they do not recognize this latter as legal they hare not taken their seats. In the memorial tbey allude to this by saying that as circumstances have' rendered it impossible for the representatives of BoheiuL is a kingdom having the same rights as Hungary, to make their views heard in the Representative Assembly of the whole Empire, they must choose this way of giving expression to the convictions of the Bohemian nation. These convictions are that every people baa the right to claim that iu any transformation of the State its voice should be heard; that all nations have equal rights in this respect, and that war could, not alter these rights. On this foundation the people of Bohemia wish to see a new era inaugurated in Austria, for pusillanimous transactions, diplomatic cheasplay.and exhausting military efforts, without a leading idea, could not save Austria in the present crisis.

From these general principles the inference is, that though tho different branches of the great. German nation have the right to unite in ono body politic, France, for whom Bohemia feels the sincerest sympathy, cannot be forced to accept a Government which she does not want, nor can ahe be deprived of those parts of her territory the population of which wish to remain French. Then the memorandum continues "In a similar manner the Bohemian nation think that to prevent the great Russian nation from organizing defense of th Black Sea si ik thinks ftt is an unjust violation of ita Sovereign right, aad th Bohemian nation would nod that th moat important intereats of Austria nay, her very exisUac would ia Jeopardy were Austria to go to war to uphold this humiliation of a great Power, which Is immoral in the public tight of Europe. The Bohemian nation feel th' warmest sympathies for the kindred races of th Ottoman Empire. It haa, in bar.

moay with all Europe, greeted with joy th liberation of Greece, ervia, and Koomaaia, asd eoald not deny its sympathy to the other people of the Ulyrian peaiatola If they, based oa their right of self division, wars to aim at such a political Oonititntioa at would not only procur for them a mora humane exittesee, bat whioh would load to th anion of the dispersed member aad mak than participate ia the benefits of Chriitiao tirilixatioe. The memorialists ask. Count Beast to bring these views to the knowledge of the Emperor and to the representatives of the other nations. of the Monarchy. Like everyone else in Austria, the Czechish members of the Bohemian Diet have, of course, the right to present memorials to the State Chancellor and give expression to their idea on the policy, to be followed in any question, but they cannot claim that theso views should direct that policy.

If they want to make these views) prevail, they can do so by taking their places in the Reichsrath and in the Delegations, which are just now intent on judging how far tbe policy pursued hitherto has been the right one and what it should be for the future. Every one of those who signed the memorial has a rizht to make his voice heard publicly tn the Constitutional Assembly called together for this purpose, lucre tbey can speak in the name of Bohemia in the memorial they can do so only as private individuals. It is their fault if the voice of the Bohemian nation is not heard in this instance as it might claim to be heard. Railway Coixisiosa. Shortly after 12 o'clock op Saturday a coUiaioo eooarred on th Lancashire and Yorkahire lUilway between Manchester and Bolton, and not far from Stonecloogh aUtion.

A tb ordinary passenger train from Mancbeater to Southport, which leave the former itttiuo at a quarter to 12 o'clock, was spproach ing Stonechiugb. the driver suddenly cam upon a goods engine which waa taunting aome waggosa. A dense fog prevailed at the time, and tbe shunting engine wa act perceived until the passenger traia hail got within 30 or 40 yards of it. Th engine of the passenger train struck th tender of tbe other eosine, which was io tbe middle of the line, with tremendous force, and threw it over. Tb driver of thegools train was caught by th tender, thrown beneath it, nod pearly cat in two.

Th' ttoker of tb gouda train was alto atruck by th tender, but th in juriet reoeived were not of a very eerioos character. Th front of the paseenger engin was considerably broken, but neither drir nor stoker sniuioed any injuries. Som of tbe paaaeater were considerable ahaken, and all wen greatly alarmed, bat th collisioo waa not felt very violently by tbsaa. Both the engine and carriage kept upon tbe road, but the lines, owing to the broken condition of th goods engine, wire blocked up for apwarda of two Loan. Directly after the collition a passenger train from Manchester to Freston came up, it would err taisly bare run Into the rear of tbe Southport train, owing to th density of tb fog, if tome of tb platelayers, knowing that It wat due, had not run back and given th Umal to th driver ttep.

The driver who was killed was about 40 years of age, married, and leaves two or three children. Tb accident wa ntirtly attributable to the foe. On the aame day two other colliaioas occurred near Manchester, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, all more sa attributable to the dense fog prevailing. The 10 53 exprets trsla, from Sottthpoit to Matichetter, ran Into a coal train at Wigaa. Xo loatof life Is reporte.1.

Then were no live loat, but wc have no particular a to what personal Inlnri may have bee sustained. THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. (mou oca rauasiax coHaurosrotyT.) nEKLry, Dxc.it i To form a correct eitimate of the Luxemburg question ii.is neeessiryto ta'e certain extraneous circumstances into account.

The King of Holland, who it likewise Grand Duke of the littl principality, seems to be as willing as evr to part with his sovereign rights for a conMdcr.ition. His Dutch advisers do not object to his giving tip a territory which, not being subject to their control, an! having a delicate iosition between the two antagonize empire surrounding it, is likely to prbra an embarrassment at soma ftitare day. In d. nouncing the Treaty of 117, then, Count Bismarck had good, reason hope that he was not commit 1 ting an act which would occasion any very considerable dlsiuietude at the On the con IRELASD. trates and ponce to be more caatipos in adai n.s:rat:on of a stringent titr.

er of tiie ruoun ls tel a discovery of which the fol vii expretaly for the oc atioi. Th plot, it nt nrcatuuaces. trary, it is thought th.it a has benii i evinced at th latter city to come an arrange ment' which, while not entirely annihilating the in dependence of the Duch divests it preent Sovereign of a dignity tvhich he has learned to regard as a burden. These conditions would be fulfilled by the transfer of th Duc'iy to one of those minor Princes of Germany at present not possessing a sore reign title of liii own. If, for instance, the ex Duke of Nassau or his son, who are nearly related to the King of Holland, and indeed form the senior branch of his Hoiwe, were to ascend the Luxcm burg throne, and join the Federal empire, to Luxemburg has belong! for almost a thousand years, the Luxemburgera would remain Luxemburgcrs, keep their local Oovernmentand yet return to that relation to Germany in which they stood till within the last four years.

As it was only a threat of war on the 'part of Napoleon III. which induced Germany to part with Luxemburg soon after 1SO0, the idea of recovering the lost territory has probably never been entirely abandoned at Berlin, and the Haaue i not being averse from tho plan, it now seems that some such project is iii the' wind. Besides the Xasiati Royalties, I hear the' young Prince of Wied, who is the brother in law of the Priuce of Rou mania, and engaged to a Dutch Princess, spoken of as a possible candidate. 1 1 is Ssreno Highness has just gone from the camp of Versailles, where military duties had called him, to the Hague to convey to his Dutch Majesty the condolence of King William ou the demise of Princess Frederick of the Netherlands. 1 As regards the important question, what the Lux emburgers themselves would say to such a chance, it cannot be legally effected without the consent of their local Parliament.

Should it be asked, that consent will not very willingly given. One may perhaps anticipate that their hostile sentiments will in course of time be replaced by that the more aplid Germany proves, the more surely will she regain the affections of her alienated sons. But for the present, it must be owned, the opposite is the case, and never were the Alsatians such ardent Frenchmen, nor the Lnxeinbiirgers so obstinately addicted to the fiction of a separate Luxemburg nationality as in 1870. Yt it Is probable they would vote for an arrangement i such as the above. On the oue have always belonged to the Zollverein, and would be subjected 1 to serious pecuniary loss were they to suffer excln sion from the taritt league of Germany, in conse I quence of a refusal to rejoin its political commonwealth.

On the other hand, if on re emhodi meat with the empire they were permitted remain a separate principality, the priests, who always fomented opposition to Germany because afraid of annexation to Protestant Prussia, woiild have no very urgent causo to re I present to the villagers that by voting for the Bund they were endangering their souls. It is quite true that, notwithstanding, tho Luxemburg! would not be gratiSed at the prospect of personal military service, and the necessary increaso of taxes, but, circumUancol as they are, even this would be less unpalatable than the ruin of their industry. i From the Powers no particular resistance would be probably offered to theinnovatioo. As you may remember, Lord Derby, then Lord Stanley, a few days after the conclusion of the Treaty for the neutralization of Luxemburg, observed in Pari ia i ment that, directly that Treaty was no louger re cognized by one of the signatory Powers, the others would be likewise at liberty to regard it as null and void. We are, perhaps, not far out in supposing this particular declaration to hare prompted Count Bismarck to take the step announced in his Circular Note.

If he wished to pave the wav for a change in the international position of the Duchy, it was natural for a man with his long memory to call to mind the words dropped by an English Secretary of State, and avail himself of the advantage they seemed to offer. At any rate, it is not to be divined what other practical motive ha ctn have had in receding from tho Treaty in question. Though his Circular deprives Luxemburg of its privileged existence as a State neutralized by the common consent of Europe, it remains, nevertheless, a State neutral in the present war, and, as such, legally free to sell arms and provisions to either belligerent. It may have forfeited neutralization, which in vol vesa guarantee from others, by serving as an entrepot for French escaped prisoners on their way home but it none the less retaius neutrality, which means no more than impartiality towards either party, and, in consequence, now as before may suffer French fugitives to traverse its soil, and may' have commercial dealings with both French and German. Apart, therefore, from the one act of running 'provision train into Thionville while besieged by the Germans, which, indeed, was a breach not only of neutralization but also" of neutrality, the Luxemburgsrs will be at liberty, even after the Circular of the German Chancellor, to ooutinue the same coarse as before.

But it is not very probable that so eminently practical a man aa Count Bismarck should have taken so marked a step as the denunciation of a Treaty merely to express dissatisfaction, without any tangible advantage to be secured by it. Much less would he have done so at a time when he has so much else on his hands, and if there had been any danger of conjuring up a European question by Holland appealing to the Powers. The inference to be drawn from all this tends to support the that has reached us from the Hague, and that makes the denunciation appear a mere preliminary in a preconcerted game. lhe Prussiau State Parliament, opened yester taiued is a secret too profitable to be disclosed by the journals which posteia it.
