Another Hecret Treaty 750,000 Prussian Troops In L.le French Holdlerw Without ood Bombardment ot German Forts Re prUala Threatened by Prussia. Paris, Aug. 12. Journals of Metz publish Marshal MacMahon's report to the Emperor. Tbe report says the enemy, in greatly supe rior numbers, began the attack at seven o'clock on Saturday morning. The first at tack having been repulsed, about noon the enemy reopened the contest, throwing for ward numerous sharpshooters, protected by six guns in a commanding position. Masses of infantry were then brought up, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon MaoMahon was forced to order a retreat, which was effected in good order, the enemy's pursuit being without vigor and by no means trouble some. The marshal was able to send only a partial list of the killed and wounded. A circular from the Minister of the Inte rior requires the perfects of the various de partments to encourage the formation of companies of national guards, volunteers, and franca-tireurs, to take the field at once. They will receive armB as soon as possible, but in the meantime they should assemble in the chief towns of the department to orga nize and drill. They will be paid one frano per day from the date of enlistment. The Journal OJiciel says the Ministers of War and of the Interior, on assuming control cf their departments, immediately took the most energetic measures to insure efficiency in the various branches of the service. The Minister of ' War has issued very stringent orders in regard to provisioning the army, and on the subject of supplies of quarter master and ordnance stores. Paris, August 12. Advices from headquar ters represent that the beat understanding exists between Marshal Bazaine and othe generals. ' Among the German prisoners taken at the beginning of the campaign are members of the landwehr, who were called into service six weeks ago. This proves that Prussia ex pected war before it was declared, and was not taken by surprise, as her Government has repeatedly asserted. London, Aug. 12. The Tribune's special correspondent writes from Paris on Thursday i iat scraps of news about the recent defeats it)e permitted to be printed. At Iteichoffen the soldiers had no cartridges left. They had been without any for hours, and had made repeated bayonet charges. , The Prussians mowed them down in masses. Ammunition was on its way, but the wagons transmitting it by rail were stopped of the station nearest the battle-field by the explosion of bombs from the Prussians. Prussian spies Ld sig nalled to their friends. St. Averne is the key of the Vosges, and if the Prussians are really there, as there seems to be no doubt they are, the eastern gateway of France is thrown wide open. Saarbruck is, of course, abandoned. - French soldiers and officers are furious at the want of organization. On the Cth inst. no ooflee was distributed until 6 o'clock at night. The soldiers fought fasting, and after the battle there was no distribution of food for four days. The soldiers lived upon pota toes gatnerea irom neighboring nelds. Paris, Aug. 12 Noon. Communication with Strasburg is interrupted. The Prussians are massed around the city. The Emperor is at Metz. Paris is tranquil. That is, no important disturbances have oc curred, though turbulentgroups continually form. . The Corps Legialatif is still surrounded by troops, including'. 4000 regular ouirassiers and marines, supported by Paris Gardes and National Guard. No one is allowed to pass without a permit, and even members with difficulty make their way. Several have been stopped. It is difficult to understand why there are such precautions, unless it is intended to prevent popular invasion of the Chamber, as on the days ox tne convention. mevertneiess, crowds gather daily, and troops charge them. False alarms continually arise. . Never was there such a break-down of De partment Ministries, which are in utter con fusion. The new Cabinet has everything to reorganize. Deliberation on the formation of the new Ministry lasted the whole night juod late next morning. There were nineteen rejecticjw before the list was anally com pleted. Official information about tbe reoent losses if etil) withheld, and Paris is exasperated by the bad faith of the Government, which had promised to give all news. While MacMahon admits a loss of 15,000 of 18,000 men engaged, Frossard's losses at Saarbruck are wholly unknown. Instead of intelligence of the war, the Government telegraphs from Metz that "showers fell last night. f Marshal Oanrobert arrived in Taris Thurs day to replace Baraguay d'Hilliera, who goes to Tours. General Trochu takes Canrobert's Corps? Trochu was offered the Ministry of War, but refused unless called' to power by the Corps Legislatif. The secretary of the Count of Paris denies that the Orleans princes are in Peris. Berlin, Aug 12(Special to the New York Herald). It is reported to-day that a procla mation is forthcoming which will declare that it is the intention of the Prussian forces to burn a French village for each place destreyed by the French fleets, by the bombardment of German ports. Berlin, August 12. The Bavarian army has passed through Vosges and bivouacked last night at Dumeringen, near Saarlouis. General Sheridan, of the American army, has left Berlin for the King's headquarters. The Queen of Prussia announces that she will take personal charge of the wounded of both nations, and that their treatment shall be identical. French prisoners, as they pass through the railway stations, receive nothing but kindness. Citizens and volunteers give them refreshments, cigars, etc., and ladies enter the cars, and going from man to man, offer them paper and pencils, and volunteer to write to their friends for them. London, Aug. 12. The Cologne Gazette Erints the outlines of another treaty proposed y Count Benedetti to Bismarck in 18GG. It stipulates that France shall take possession again of the territory acquired by Prussia in 1814, Prussia supporting France in the re covery of the left bank of the Rhine from Ilesse and Bavaria, and that the guarantee given by the German Confederation in favor of tbe neutrality of Luxemburg and the Neth erlands shall be annulled. The Gazette adds: "Benedetti represented . that these proposals emanated from the Emperor at Vichy in 1S;." London, Aug. 12. I he Cierman forces be tween Rastadt and Cologne are said to num ber in the aggregate 7f0,000 men. Accord ing to the Paris fouccc 2 j0.000 of them are now in Lorraine. Berlin, Aug. 12. A small vessel, which persisted in entering the Jahde, on the Olden burg coast, in spite of warnings of danger, ran against one of the torpedoes placed there to defend the harbor, and was blown np. The crew were saved. Before his departure for the seat of war General Sheridan, accompanied by his adju tant, visited General Hokenfaldt at the War Office, where he was received with attention. "with which he has constantly been honored since his arrival in Germany. CHINA. Pnrllrnlars of the Recent Atrocities at Tlen- Tsln Twenty-two ' Europeans and Thirty Children Murdered. San Francisco, Aug. 12. There are de tails of the massacre of Christians at Tien Tsin. Twenty-two Europeans and thirty or forty Chinese children were murdered. Nine Sisters of Charity were victims of the mas sacre. Their bodies were horribly mutilated. Eight Protestant churches, from which the missionaries retreated, were gutted. Sixteen places of worship were destroyed several days previous to the attack. Chinese parents re moved their children, some 250, from the Catholi schools. Among the murdered were three Russians. The remainder were French and Chinese children. GERMAN GENERALS. Prince Frederick of Wurteinbercr. Frederick August Eberhard, Prince of Wartem- berg, who is a Prussian general of cavalry and In command of tbe Guard, was born January 24, 1313, entered the Prussian army on April 23,1831, and was appointed captain of the regiment of the Koyal Guards. Having rapidly advanced through differ ent grades, he was Anally appointed fall general of cavalry on May 31, 1859. At the outbreak of hos tilities between Prussia and Austria the Royal Guards were placed under his command and formed part of the army of the Crown Prince. Dur ing the battles of Burkeralorf on the 28th, and of Koniglnhof, 29th June, the two divisions of the Guards fought most gallantly, and they lost in both engagements somewnat less man vim men, among whom were 37 officers, while the loss of the Aus trians, as admitted in thetr own report, amounted to 8000 prisoners and 3572 kined and wounded, among wnom were 102 officers. The Prince served gallantly and faithfully UDtll the campaign was over, ana was rewaraeu oy tue n.mg ui i ruHuin on nis return to Berlin with the command of the 10th regi ment of lancers. Ueneral von Tumpllna. William von Tumpllng. who is a cavalry general. and commands the 6th Prussian Army Corps, was born December so, lens. Although his lather was one of the chief officers of the Prussian army daring the Napoleonic wars, the son did not enter the military career until 1630. Be applied himself to the study ot military science with great earnestness. After serving until i837 in the regular army, he was sent by older of the Government on a protracted military tour, In order that he might report en the improvements adopted by foreign nations. In 1839 be was assigned to the staff of the army. He took part in the campaign against the Insurrection in Baden In 1849, fought during the entire war against Denmark In 1864, as commander of the 5th Infantry Division, and took an active and honorable part in the war against Austria in 186ft. The de cided victory obtained by the Prussians at Gitschin Is conceded to be the work of General von Tump llng; he at least bore a moat prominent part In that sanguinary engagement, and was likewise conspicu ous by his action at Sadowa. Ueneral von Volts-Rhetz. Constantine llernhard von Voigts-Rhetz, who commands the loth Army Corps, was born July lit, lt9. After serving a few years in the regular army, the attention of his superiors was called to the ability he showed while In the Topographical Bureau, and he was soon transferred to the Bureau of Chief of the staff of the army. He found there an opportunity to give proofs of his superior talents, and although, from time to tlrae.asslgned to the army In the Held, his connection with the staff was never severed any length of time, He was appointed com mander of the fortress of Luxemburg in 1880, but exchanged that position in 1863 by assuming com mand of tbe 7th Division. At the outbreak of hos tilities In I860 he was asslgued as Chief or Staff to the army under command of Prince Frederick Charles. When tbe Prince had full cognizance of the position of the Austrian army under General Benedek on tbe evening of July 2, he immediately conferred with his Chief of Stiff, and alter a long consultation they came to the conclusion to attack the enemy in the morning with the entire army. King William being at Gitschin with General von Moltke, Von Voigts-Rhetz was at once despatched to that place. Hiding on at full speed through the stillness or night, he at last reached the headquarters or tne Klmr. who was unceremoniously roused rrom his slumbers to consult, with Von Moltke md Von VoiKts-Uhetz, resulting In an order for a general at tack on tbe Austrian at daybreak. This order re sulted In the memorable battle of Koniggratz or Sadowa, which virtually decided the Austrian war. General von Voigts-Rhetz, in consideration of his eminent services, was appointed (Governor-General of the former kingdom of Hanover, and simulta neously obtained me command oi tne lotn Army uorps. (Jeaeral von Plonekt. Henri Louis Francis von Plouski, who commands the llth Army Corps, was born at Bernau, Dec 6, 1802. His parents died when he wai young, leaving him Indigent, but be was admitted to the military Institute at Potsdam, where, fully understanding that he would have nothing to rely upon throughout life but bis own acquirements, talents, and energy, he applied himself to the study of military science with such an assiduity that he was Boon far ahead of all bis associates, and entered the army as lieutenant when hardly eighteen years of age. He succeeded beyond precedent in the military service, and at the outbreak of the Danish war was commander of the infantry of Koyal Guards. In 186ft he made prison era of an entire brigade of the enemy after a despe. rale struggle at Trautenau, and fought with great distln tlon at the head of h's division a', ti e mem orable battle of Cadowa. General vea Alvrwalrbea. Onstavus ven Alvensieben, who is in command of the 4th Army Corps, was born September 30, 1803, and belongs to a family distinguished for over a thou sand years for military prowess and gallantry. He entered the army at the age of eighteen, and ad vanced rap'.dly to high position. He took part In the expedition of 1849 for the suppression of the revolutionary movement in Baden and the rest of South Germany, where he was appointed chief of staff. He did not take part la the Holsteln cam paign,, his tervlces being required clsewncre; but when the war of 1806 broke out he accompanied Bing William as his adjutant-general, and having fouirht gallantly at Sadowa he was rewarded for his services with the command of the 4th Army Corps. (General von Zatrw. Henry Adolphe von Zastrow, who commands the 7th Array Corps, was born August 11, lnoi, anl is rtteceflded from a family who conot amount; their members no less than nineteen Prussian Generals. He was educated at the military school In Berlin, entered the armv In 1819, and completed his military studies at the War School in Berlin. He became conspicuous by the publication of a wor on the art of fortification. When the people of Schleswlg-Hol-stein first rose in exposition against the Dan lib Government In 1848, von Zanrow sought permlBBlon from his commanding general to take part in the struggle, and was sent with 17 other Prussian officers (who were placed under his command) to Rendsburg, to place himself at the disposition ol Prince Frederick of Schleswig Holstcln. Here he found an excellent field for the dlFplay of his Fklll as a military engineer. He fought throughout the campaign with great gallantry, and was present during the sanguinary struggle at Frlde ricia. He re-entered the ranks of the Prussian ser vice at the .close of the war, and was rapidly pro moted. When the war of 1S60 broke out was ap pointed commander of division, and after taking part in several minor engagements, fought with great distinction at the memorable battle of Sa dowa, General von illannteln. Albrecht Ehrenreich Gustave von Mansteln, the rommander-iQ-chief of the 9th Army Corps, was bom August 24, 1S06, and entered the army In 122. I'ntil the year 1864, there is nothing In his military career which might deserve a special mention; no had the reputation of being a brave and talented offi cer, and was successively promoted. In the war against Denmark, he received command of a divi sion, but soon after ne was intrusted by Prince Frederick Charles with the command of the army which assaulted the fortlti cations of Duppel. He led the attack with great skill, and when he saw his troops waver before the terrific fire of the enemy, placed himself at the head of the columns, encour aged bis men, and finally succeeded In driving the enemy out ol all his strongholds. During the war of 1866, General von Mansteia commanded the re serve, and did not come Into action until Prince Frederick Charles ordered him forward to the sup port of the second army, when he fought at Sadowa, and materially contributed to the splendid victory there obtained.
