LAST NIUIIT'S DESPATCHES. MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMIES THE CAMPAIGN ON THE LOIRE AMERICANS IN PARIS THEY ARE WILLING TO GET OUT. LtMMiN, Oct. 20 Special to New York Herald. J A rumor is prevalent here that treaty negotia tions an going on with Bazaine for peace. The report says that after peace is concluded, Baza'ne's Hiruy, with the released prisoners of Sedan, will march on Paris to enforce the terms of the treaty. London, Oct. 20 Special to New York World Despite the efforts ot the government t-i discourage such a demonstration, 20,000 people marched to Palace Yard last night and organized an immense meeting to express sympathy with the republicans of t ranee. Tho speakers virtually denounced King William, and an allusion to the apathy of John Bright was received with cries of "Sham.." The Gladstone government was bitterly re proached for its policy of abstention; a defensive alliance with France was advocated, and a resolu tion adopted calling on Parliament to abolish the pensloi.s to the German princes, Including the Crown Prince of Prussia and Prince Lsuis of Hesse. It was declared that the sooner all kings and queens were dethroned the better. The feeling manifested In all quarters of the city during the night was revolutionary and threat ening, xne government naa two regiments or in fantry under arms all night in the barracks, and extra police precautious were taken to repress any disorder, but no call was made for the Interference ot either military or police. At two A. M. this morning the Prussian embassy was insulted by a great concourse of people, with whom tl;e police did not interfere. Tourr, Oct. 20 The Prussians are returning toward Paris without seeking a battle with the Fnnrb on the right bank of the Loire. The Prussians are still in peaceful occupation of Or leans. Owing to their great losses at Chateaudun tbe Prussiuns have nearly destroyed that town by fire. At Chateauneu , where the Prussians at tacked and were beaten off. they took revenge by exacting heavy contributions of money. The in babitsnts paid the sum, heavy as it was, within fiity thousand francs. Tbe Germans then evacu ated the place, but threatened to return soon and collect the balance or burn the town. The best answer to tbe Prussian dispatches say ing their loss was trifling before Paris on tbe 13th, on the occasion of the sortie of the Parisians, is teund in the official military report, which is just published, showing that after tbe battle tbe Prus sians demanded a truce of five hours in order to bury their dead. Advices from Paris state that a number of Ameri cans who had otitained passes from the Prussian au thorities outside the city found it Impossible to leave. The Prussians explained that owing to cer tain strategical reasons the Americans would not be permitted to leavs by any of the usual roads. 1 he Prussians advised the Americana to leave by a boat going down the Seine, and promised them protection by that route. M in Inter Washburne has Informed Favre that be himself will remain in Paris as long as thu government authorities do. It is sunounced that the supply of flour in Paris is sufficient for tive months. Dispatches from Rouen, Lille, Belfort and other places show that tbe determination to resist tbe Prussians Is as strong as ever. A large French force is assembled at Bt sancon. Garibaldi has Issued a stirring ad dress to the Franc-tireurs. '1 be movements of the enemy south of the Loire are much commented on. The journals fear that a rapid movement is in progress tor a surprise of Tours. Assurances are given that the government wi 1 not leave until an attack is certain to be made. Dispatches from various parts of France report a number of small engagements. M. Dubost, delegate from the government of Paris to Tours, who landed from a ballooon at Rocrol yesterday, brings news of another engage ment near Paris, which began in the morning, at Hautes Bruyeres, and lasted for three hours, and was resumed in tbe afternoon, and terminated after three hours more fighting. The Prussians, who at tacked in both actions, were repulsed with heavy loss. The dispatch from Rocrol, which contains the above intelligence, does not give the date of the affair. According to the latest Paris advices, Trochu, giving way to tbe unceasing demands of the Na tional Guards, has given his assent to their or ganization in mobilized regiments as an active force tor soi ties aud service beyond tho walls. He also announces that he has a plan for a general attack on the beselgers, that when matured will be carried out on a formidable scale. In the mean time be will accept volunteers for sorties and night surprises. The Paris Official Journal, of October IB, posi tively declart that Buruside had no mission from tbe Prussian authorities when he visited Paris, but was merel v an officious agent . Rouen , Oct. 20 A copyjof the Paris OJflciel Jour nal Jubt received here contains the auswer of Favre to the circular of Bismarck, in their couf er ence at Ferrieres. "Itls well," says Favre, "that France should know the extent of the ambition of Prussia. It does not stop at the conquest of two of our provinces; it seeks our destruction. France must have no illusions; her existence is at stake. She was offered dishonor and she refused, and they propose to punish her by annihilation. This is the exact situation. I prefer our peril and our Buf ferings to tbe gratification of the exorbitant am bition of our enemies. Even if vanquished, France will be greater under misfortune, and will have the admiration and sympathy of the world. France perhaps needed this trial, from which she will issue t t & t b l u riii & (i " Lyons. Oct. 19, via Tours, Oct. 20 Two depu tations of National Guards left this city to uay, one for Be ancon and the other for Tours. The latter delegation goes to request the presence of Uam betta in this city. M AasKiLLKs, Oct. 19. An Immense paclflo mani festation was made in this city yesterday. Mauy thousands of unarmed citizenj collected before the office of the prefect of tbe department, and re quested that Esquires be reinstated as administra tor of the department. The crowd at length dis persed without any disorder whatever. Toulon, Oct. 19 Ihreo regiments of Infantry, zouaves and turccs, have arrived at this point siuee Monday. A large number of horses aud much war material have also been collected from the neigh boring country. The troops were at once seitt to tbe front.
