The Moat National Wnr Ever ITndcrtakrn Francs Not Prepared Tor It "A Very dorer Man Wanting too Much and too QnlcklT." The following Is the fall report ot the alleged "interview" by an Englishman with the Empe ror Napoleon, already referred to by cable tele gram: To the Editor of the London Daily Telegraph: Sir: Experience has warned me that authori tative expressions of opinion emanating from . the protagonists in a great political crisis rarely find their way into foreign newspapers. It is with the purpose of enabling your readers to 4 lorm their own judgment upon the views now expressed by the Emperor Napoleon, that I venture to repeat the words which he yesterday employed while speaking to a friend and to my self during an Interview with which he honored us at the Tuilerk . I must begin by remarking that I have known the Emperor for many years, and have seldom seen him looking better. When last I spoke with him, five months ago, he looked careworn and haggard, with a com plexion more than usually sallow and ash colored. Yesterday his face looked fuller, his eye bright, his cheek healthy. I wish in addi tion to premise that, after be had spoken, I in quired whether we were at liberty to repeat his words a haute voix. He answered, '! wish nothing better than that I should be represented to the people of England as holding these views." The Emperor, after speaking with his usual quiet kindliness upon some private matters, turned suddenly to the political situation of France and of Europe. lie said: "One fort night before the utterance of the Duke de U ra coon t in the Corps Legislatlf which utterance has, as it seems to me, been so unjustly reflected upon by the English press I had no notion that war was at hand, nor am I, even at this moment, by any means prepared for it. I trusted that, when the Duke de Gramont had set me straight with France by speaking manfully in public as to the llohenzollern candidature, I should be able so to manipulate and handle the contro versy as to make peace certain. But France has slipped out of my hand. I cannot rule unless 1 lead. This is the most national war that in my time France has undertaken, and I have no choice but to advance at the head of a public opinion which I can neither storm nor check. In addition, M. de Bismarck, although a very clever man, wants too much, and wants it too quick. "After the victory of Prussia in 180C, I reminded him that but for the friendly and self-denying neutrality of France he could never have achieved such marvels. I pointed out to him that I had never moved a French soldier near to the Rhine frontier during the continuance of the German war. I quoted to him from his own letter in which ho thanked me for my abstinence, and said that be had left neither a 'Prussian gun nor a Prussian soldier upon the Rhine,' but had thrown Prussia's whole and undivided strength against Austria and her allies. I told him that, as some slight return for my friendly inactivity, I thought that he might surrender Luxemburg, and one or two other little towns which gravely menace our frontier, to France. . I added that In this way he would, by a trifling sacrifice, easily forgotten by Prussia in view of her enormous successes and acquisitions, pacify the French nation, whose jealousies it was so easy to arouse, bo difficult to disarm. "31. de Bismarck replied to me, after some de lay, Not one foot of territory, whether Prus sian or neutral, can I resign. But, perhaps, if I were to make some furttier acquisition, I could make Eome concessions. How, for instance, if I were to take Holland? What would France want as a sop for Holland? "I replied," said the Emperor, "that If he at tempted to take Holland, it meant war with France; and there the conversation, in which M. de Bismarck and M. de Benedetti were the in terlocutors, came to an end." I have repeated this conversation as nearly as possible in the Emperor's words. While we were speaking, the Due de Trevlse brought a despatch was to the effect that "the 11th Corps of the Prussian army were at that mo ment trooplne into Treves.'r I have little, sir, to add to this recapitulation.

JHIaUter Bancroft' Vertlon of How Klnac . William Kecelved the Announcement of 111 Candidature. The following Washington despatch to the Boston Post gives fuller details of Minister Bancroft's recent despatch: The State Department Las a long despatch from Minister Bancroft, relating principally to the action ot toe King ot Prussia in the matter of the offer of the Spanish crown to Prince Leopold. Mr. Bancroft says that as soon as the nature of the proposition from Spain became known to Jvlng William, na exerted all his lnttu ence to induce the Prince to decline it promptly, teiime mm mat, in ine present con dltion of the various factions in Spain he could not expect to ascend the throne in quiet, and that he would certainly meet the same fate as Maximilian, and lose his bead. The Prince, however, declined to accept this advice and cave the King to understand that he should aceept. Thereupon the King called his council together, and submitted the case to them at length, and then requested an opinion whether under the North-German Constitution he had sulUcient authority to peremptorily forbid Prince Leopold from acceDtlnsr. The council finally decided that the King could not exercise such authority: that Germany was so far republican that nothing in Its Constitution forbade its citizens from emigrating to other States and accepting office there. After the King bad thus actively exerted bJffiself in the interest of peace, he became convinced that Napoleon was simply using - the Question as a pretext, and that he was determined to force a war. The King abandoned his efforts and turned bis attention to military preparations. Mr. Bancroft feels certain that King William has had no thought at any time 01 mterlerinir in tne anairs 01 spain, either. by securing the throne for a German prince or by attempting in any other way to control matters in that kingdom.

The Nirooaheld an the Mooelle-Ita Relation to the War and Capacity for Standing a Kltae. Profeeser D. II. Mahan, of the West Point Mili tary Academy, writes as follows to the New York Evening Post concerning Metz, under date of August 9: As Metz has now become the central point to which all the movements of the French and Prussian armies converge, and, therefore, the one upon which public interest will be con centrated for the next few days, I send you an offhand sketch of it and its main fortifications, reduced from a very accurate plan I obtained while residing there in 1829-30, and which was engraved in 1821 from surveys made by a mem ber of the then French Jngenieurs Geographer. Metz, after many vicissitudes, came, in the feudal period, under the protection of the Ger man Emperors, and became virtually a free city. During this time she was fortified, in the method of the day, with walls flanked by round and square towers. In 1552-53 she placed herself under the protection of France, and Charles V of Germany, resenting this step, undertook to reduce herto her former dependence on Germany, by a siege which from its duration, the means displayed by him, and the obstinacy and skill of the defense, has placed it amonghe memora ble affairs of this character. This defense was conducted by the celebrated Duke de Guise, sur named le balafre, from a wound he had received on the face. At the moment when Charles, after making a breach in the walls, supposed the way into the place open to his columns, he found, to his mortification, that Guise bad erected in rear of this breach a fortification stronger than the original, the one known ever since as the Re trenchment de Guise. From its important strategical position the fortifications of Metz "were remodelled and greatly added to by the celebrated Vauban. In the reign of Louis XV, CormonUlgne, another master of the art, added to its works two master pieces, the Double Crown of Belle Croix and that of the Moselle: thus occupying two of tne former most vulnerable points mat oy which Charles V approached the city, and which lies one hun dred and twenty-five feet above the level of the Moselle, and the approach to the suburb on the south, which Is but slightly above the river level. Every resource ol the engineer s art has been availed of in giving additional strength to this stronghold, u he Double Crown ot Belle Croix has a system of counter mines of three tiers, for a subterranean defense; and the valley of the Seille has been turned into account by damming back tne waters, so as to nood to a considerable extent the ground above the city, and the ditches of the works on the north and east, and also to place in an accessible position an earthen work tbat flanks tne approaches on the east fronts. and, by an arrangement of sluice gates within the city to dram ott tne water irom them any moment, to sweep away the debris of any breech tbat might be made within them. Similar ar rangements are made to fill the ditches of the Double Crown or tne Moselle, and to lay under water the meadows to the Moselle bordering the south fronts. But slight additions have been made to the fortifications since Cormontaigne's time. Gene ral , d'Arco, during the French Revolution erected a small advanced work, in advance of the hornwork II, upon some pet plan of his own; but it is scarcely more than ano'nglneer ing toy, though the General himself was really a man of eminent talent. Later, another small lunette, with flanking casoments a la llano, has been erected. It is hardly within tbe scope of probabilities that in tbe present temper of the nations, when, to use a hackneyed phrase, war is sought to be made "short, sharp, and decisive," Prussia will besiege Metz, wnicn is regarded in trance as nearly impregnable. The works of Vauban and Cormontaigne nave reduced us assailable points to three, each offering engineering difficulties to siege works of no little magnitude. The first Is at tbe Double Crown of Belle Croix which lies on the narrow plateau between the valley of the Seille. on tbe east, and that of a Email stream, called Kuisseau de Valliere, on the west. This outwork, if taken, would bring the-besiegers in front of new difficulties in the lay of the ground towards the main enclosure, and in tne defenses ot this portion ot it. x no second is along the plateau on the east, lying between the vales of the Seille and Moselle. Here the difficulties lie in the nar rowness cf the front of approach, which is swept in flank by the inaccessi ble work in the artificial inundation that can be produced in the Seille valley; in the successive outworks, tbat of d'Arcon's lunette, which is mined, and that of Vauban's hornwork; behind wnicn again lies tne main enclosure, with ditches oi extraordinary depth, through which a rapid current of water can be readily turned irom the artificial inundation aoove tne point w,nere tne ceine enters ine city, ine tnira point is tne uouoie jrown oi Aioseiie on tne south of the city. This point, although intrin sically weaker than the others, has wide and deep ditches filled with water. To its rear lies the fortified suburb, which can only be reached by crossing the Moselle; and behind this again, the city, the quays of which can be converted into good defenses, and, witn tne Moselle, secure the city from an open assault. What bearing Metz will bave lu tbe present struggle remains to be seen.

The Candidacy f Prince Leopold, and lie wit W ai Received The People and tho Army Ilnated with the UoYerameot Olozaita'a Devotion to tbe EmpreM Ena-enle. The Madrid correspondent of the Now York Tribune writes as follows, under date of July 25th: If the future historian ever cares to record the mean and sordid politics of this day, he will be involved in a hopeless labynntb in attempting to account for the sudden and apparently cause less revulsions of feeling we have witnessed in the last fortnight. When the llozenhol lern candidature was announced the entire ministerial press went solid in its favor not merely a a Government measure, but as the best possible solution of the monar chical question. The veto of France produced an explosion of popular wrath, which was really fine and impressive for several days. There was nothing printed or talked of but defiance of Napoleon el Chico, and souvenirs of Ballen and the Dos de Mayo. The Republican press, while condemning the candidature, showed -also a proper spirit of resentment at the Insult of France. But when Prince Leopold of Hohenzollcrn. in a loyal effort to save the imperilled peace of the world, revoked his conditional acceptance of the Spanish crown, and France, notwithstanding, with brutal and savage insolence forced Prussia into war, the wbole world looked naturally for some expression from the Govcrnmentof Spain that it considered the fight its own; and that even if in the present crippled state of the Spanish nation war was impracticable, its cor dial sympathies were with the great and mag nanimous power that had refused to accede to the arrogant demand oi a ranee for the perma nent and absolute humiliation of Spain. i be denunciations ot tbe ministerial journals have died away. There are some which have even tne 6bameiessness to talk of an entente cordiale with France. The Republican journals, as usual, preserve their noble and logical con sistency. They opposed the Hohenzollcrn can didature, but utterly rejected the impertinent claim of Napoleon to manage their affairs and now they denounce, in terms of just indignation, the infamy of those who would forget alike the voice of humanity and the outraged dignity of Spain, to strike hands with that enemy of the human race, whose weak and wicked hands have lighted in Europe the flame of war. The Jiepiiblica lberica, yesterday, gives a far warning to the government, tbat if, as it has been rumored, Prim is on the point of making an alliance with t ranee, be can count no longer on the forbear ance of tbe people. Even the moderate and con servative Republicans, who have insisted always on a peaceful and legal propaganda of their principles, now fcvow that with a government so lost to honor, so regardless of the true interests of Spain, nothing is left but violent resistance. ine arrogant assumption oi sovereignty over the Peninsula, you would think, should have stung to madness the hidalgo spirit of this Gov ernment and people. But ever since the decla ration of war there has been a sort of sneaking satisfaction that France picked a quarrel with Frussia instead oi epain ior an act ot tbe Spa nish Government. Tbe sentiment of disgust at the attitude of the Government seems to be shared in some de gree by the army. There was great feeling in military circles when the Imperial veto was pre sented by Mercier. All the young and active spirits who wanted glory and promotion turned their eyes at once to tbe Pyrenees. An immedi ate acceptance by the Government of the chal lenge of France would bave been hailed with en thusiasm in the army in spite of the absurdity and hopelessness of the contest. This ebullition has not yet died away, and the prudence of the Prerident oi tbe council is lar irom being ap preciated by his subordinates. Tbe person wno is, even more man mm, nem responsible for this attempt at bringing Spain and France together is Mr. Salustiana Olozaga, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris. This gentle roan is a singular instance of tbe growing amiability of - men towards the superior sex as they advance in years. A quarter of a century ago be was so little inclined to be patient with the caprices of royal youth and beauty that tbe uueen broke up tbe cabinet be presided over and drove him from the kingdom on account, as she said, of his rudeness to be cut in bis over-ripe age his appreciation of feminine charms has so de veloped that his pretty countrywoman, the Empress Eugenie de Montljo, has gained so absolute a control over him that ho has ceased, to be a representative in any sense of Spanish interests in Fans, lie is a laitbini and devoted lackey of the Tulleries. The Ilohenzollern matter, while it was under discussion, was kept secret from Olozaga. Olozaga at once informed their majesties, on hearing the news, that be had nothing to do with It, and, in bis devotion to bis lovely pa troness, be tendered his resignation to the Madrid Government. It was, of course; re fused, and this bas emboldened him in his anti patriotic attitude at Paris. He, and his supporters here for he has quite a respectable loilowing in the Progressist party of Spain are just now in high glee over a recent diplomatic exploit oi ma, wnicn toey try to use in the interest of the entente cordiale. I refer to his success in obtaining an Imperial order for the retirement of Dob Carlos from France. N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY. front the N. T. Berald.

The Typographical Union to-day adopted GO cents per thousand ems, the rate prevailing be fore the strike, for day work, aed 65 for work on morning newspapers. They also bo amended their rules as to permit members of the Union to work in offices where "rats" are employed. This result is the more emphatic because the printers' combination was so formidable as to compel immediate surrender on the part of every newspaper in the State with the exception of the daily Bulletin and daily Call. The pro prietors of these two journals promptly de nounced the strike as uncalled for, unjust, and ruinous, and gave notice that they would fight the movement to the bitter end, and that no striker should return to tneir oinceson any terms. The result is as above stated, the new action ot the Typographical-Union having been adopted as tbe alternative of absolute dissolution of the organization. FROM XEWt ENGLAND. The Maine Senatorshlp.

The niirht was cloudy and dark. squall had just passed, the breeze was brisk, and the schooner was at lull speed. She knocked the larboard paddlebox andwbeel or the Nor walk away, and drove her bowsprit through the Hide of the steamer near the bow. Thomas Sharkey, a builder of this city, who was on tbe spot, baa two or bis ribs oroKen Dy tbe bowsprit, and Lawrence Clancy was likewise Injured, though slightly. A few persons were f eated on the upper deck, near the paddlebox, and several fell Into the water. Two of these were rescued, but the fate of the ethers is uu certain. Assistant Alderman Duffy, of the Nineteenth wnrd. and Thomas - Carroll, the proprietor of Brevoort Hall, were missed after the catas trophe. It is supposed tbat they have been lost. A Mr. Jackeon, brother of a clerk in the Daily A ews office, Is also saia to oe missing. Two men, names unknown, rushed to the strhr.ard side, and pushing the gangway plank overboard, leaped into the water, and supported themselves by it.
