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

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

crew were saved.

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.
