Paris, September :\
After a. fierce, artillery duel, whence tlio Allies were compelled to retire, the Germans secured the surrender of Amions, which tlioy traversed singing. Tho citizens, by preconcerted decision, abstained from any demonstration. Meanwhile ton thousand French troops retreated, through blowing up both bridges. Some wore taken uftar u fierce combat. The indications are that the capture was duo to the sixteen-ineh Krupp siege guns enabling the Germans to advance. The proclamation adds that tbe reason for transference of the Government is purely military, because Paris is becoming the pivot of operations, and indications do not point to an attack on the eapttal in the near future, but that the armies may be manoeuvring around, and fch« defences may possibly be u*«d in supporting the Allies' wing,
