THE EXGLISH MISSION.
Mr. FrellDBhttvuen Derllnes HI Letter to Pre
eltleot tiraot.
Newark, N. J., Aug. 18. The Newark Daily
Adcei tisi r publishes to-day the following let
ter addressed by ex-benator 1 relingbuysen to
President Grant immediately after the official
news of his nomination as Minister of the
United States to the Court of St. James:
Newark, N. J., July 27, 1870. To his Ex
cellency President Grant: Permit me to ex
press my appreciation of the distinguished
honor done me in my appointment as Minis
ter to England, an honor the more valuable.
because originating with one whose confidence

liiation of my appointment on Friday, the
22d instant. Since then, and before, I have
deeply and disinterestedly reflected on
the question whether it was my duty
to accept tne onice; and having
come to tne conclusion that it was
not, I regret that the telegrams indicating the
resolution to which I have come, sent, the
one on the morning of Thursday, the 14th
inst., just as soon as the rumors of my pos
sible nomination took place in the press, and
the other on tne morning of tne 1 tn, as
toon as I heard of my nomination, did not
rtach their destination in time to lead to the
election of another than myself for the po
sition. Although my mind was fixed on this sub
ject when I telegraphed, yet the most grate
ful vote of the Senate on my confirmation,
which I am aware was to a good degree the
tesnlt of natural kindly feeling towards a
rrrtnt associate, and also an expression of
t- a to the national policy, has led mo
In iew of my domestic relations and
duties, which, I was gratified to find in a re
cent interview, yon appreciated, my own dis
taste for diplomatic position and my convio
tion that there are others better suited to the
office, I am brought to my first conclusion,
and shall forward my letter declining the
officeto the Secretary of State.
While I regret that my efforts to avoid the
association of my name with this office were
not successful, you will please permit me
again to eipress my high appreciation of the
honor conferred.
I am, with much respect, your obedient
servant, Frederick T. Frblinmhuysev.
The Newark Advertiser explains in this af
ternoon's paper that Mr. Frelinghnysen never
accepted the position or intimated that he
would. His friends in the Senate requested
him to remain silent to avoid confusion at
the close of the session of the Senate.
THE WAR.
LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES.
THE GREAT STRUGGLES ON THE MOSELLE THE
ADVANTAGE WITH THE TRTJS8IANS THE AP-
rROAC HlNO END OF THE NAPOLEONIC DYNASTY.
London, August 18. Special to the New
York Tribune.' Tuesday's battle is the
crowning proof of French falsehoods and
concealments in recent telegrams. Palikao
declared in the Corps Legislatif that the
Prussians had been forced to abandon their
attempts to interrupt the French retreat, and
that Bazaine was pursuing nis road un
molested to Verdun and Chalons. While
he was speaking the Prussians were attack
ing the French flank, and at nightfall
one portion at least of liazaine s army had
been forced to abandon the road to
Verdun, and were again shut up ia Metz.
It is more than ever plain mat no consider
able part of the French army has ever suc
ceeded in getting far on the road from Metz
to Verdun. Their delay, to whatever cause
due, gave the Prussians time to come up.
and they were able on Tuesday to attack with
vanguard strong enough to arrest the
retreat and bring four French corps into
action. When Bazaine found he could not
shake off the Prussian pursuit, he clearly
resolved to crush their single corps before its
support could arrive.
For hours the 3d rrn3sian Corps "iwhich,
supported only by a cavalry division, had
first been attacked, was compelled to bear
the brunt of a vigorous onslaught from twice
or thrice its own numbers, lowards the
close of the day, reinforced by the 10th and
parts of the 8th and 9th Corps, the Prussians
resumed the offensive; and when night fell
the French army was again divided, and it is
doubtful whether either of the main roads
from Metz to Verdun remains bpen.
Bazaine s three rrench corps, heretofore
unscathed, beside Frossard's and the Imperial
Guard, were brought into action, which on
the French side was a general engagement:
while on the Prussian side the larger part of
the two armies of Steinmetz and L'rince
Frederick Charles were not on the field, and
apparently not a single battalion of the Crown
Prince, who is believed to be advancing
steadily on Chalons.
A well-informed diplomat says tnat Prussia
will exact no surrender of French soil, but will
insist on the excluding the Bonaparte family
from the throne of J; ranee. Other terms of peace
not reconcilable with French amour propre,
including doubtless a partial reimbursement
of the cost of the war, will be added. The
political restoration of the House of Orleans
is currently discussed as probable.
We have it on high authority, fresh from
Paris, that it is the universal conviction here
that the Napoleonic dynasty is ended. The
Empress having packed np and despatched
all her valuables, including pictures of in
estimable value, has left for England by way
of Belgium. It is believed that the Lmperor
is also on his way to this country by the same
track. He does not dare to return to Paris.
Prince Napoleon has fled to Italy with his
family.
London, Aucr. 18. Speoial to the New
Y'ork Tribune.' Our special correspondent
writes from Chalons, August 15, as follows:
This is the Emperor's fete day, but there
are no fetes in honor of the occasion. The
alarm was sounded this morning At 10 o'clock,
and artillery was put in motion and went for
ward to Blesones, but there found tl j railway
cut, and fell back.
No railway communication now exists be
tween Chalons and either Metz or Verdun.
We do not know where the French main body
is, but . the Prussian vanguard is nearer Cha
lons than Bazaine is, and there is no force
here capable of resisting an attack. Thus
far nothing but cavalry is heard of, and that
Jesterday was .within twenty miles of Cha
ons, and destroying railways at will.
Our correspondent writing from the head
quarters of the 2d Prussian Army Corps, on
August 2, Bays: "Should the French not
accept battle outside of Metz, two corps will
be left to mask the fortress while the main
body will continue the march for Paris. The
Prussians have at least 000,000 men advancing
on French soil, and as many more in reserve
on German soil. All talk of peace before the
occupation of Paris is laughed at."
Our correspondent at the headquarters of
the Crown Prince writes on August 12: "We
are daily advancing from village to village.
Alsatian sympathies are altogether French,
but the people are treated by the Prussians
kindly, except where the peasants commit
hostilities. No compulsory military service is
enforced on them. Wagons for the wounded
are required, and sales of provisions com
pelled. Nothing is exacted but strict neces
saries, and everything paid for. The Crown
Prince declares that we make war on the
French Government and not on the French
people; MacMahon'8 corps is almost destroyed,
and no remnant has been found as the Crown
Prince pushes steadily forward against the
French right flank."
THE GREAT BATTLE AT MARS-LA TOUR.
Berlin, Aug. 18 (Official.) A battle oc
curred before Metz yesterday, lasting nearly
twelve hours. The Prussians drove the
French in upon the city. Losses very heavy
on both ides. The Prussians now hold the
field of battle.
