IStr Affair.
About two o'clock yesterday afternoon a
fire broke out in the cornioe of a three-story
brick building, 2505 Frankford avenne, oc
cupied by Thomas Riley and Jacob Stronbel.
The loft and roof were destroyed, aa well as
the roof of house No. 2507 adjoining,
occupied by Owen Begley and Fatrick Con
nor. The buildings are owned by the Read
ing Railroad Company. The flames reached
the lofts of several adjoining houses in the
row, bnt were extinguished before ranch
damage was done. The entire loss is esti
mated at about f l.'OO. The buildings are
near the Reading Railroad,"and it is supposed
that the flames originated from sparks from
a locomotive.
un inursaay nignt, a sailor, urea or tne
it straint imposed on the receiving ship,
plunged into the Delaware and struck out for
the chore. The alarm was sounded, the sen
try cocked his musket, and a boat was lowered
to enable pursuit to be given, The boat of
the Delaware Harbor Police took part in the
chase, but, strange enough, the fugitive eluded
his pursuers and reached the shore in safety.
On Wednesday evening last two trains
came together on the Camden and Amboy
Railroad at Bordentovn. Two empty pas
senger trains were on the same track, but one
was stationary; therefore the collision was
not severe enough to do much damage, except
to one of the engines and the forward car.
No person was injured.

THE DEFENSE OF PARIS MOVEMENTS OF THE
EMPEROR KINO WILLIAM AND THE POPE
HIGHLY IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE THE
OKLEANI8TSAHD THE LONDON PRESS.
. Paris, Aug. 19.
Tfce Figaro makes the following report 6i
the movements and doings of the Emperor:
On Tuesday, the 16th, the Emperor, who
tad not yet heard of the battle of that day,
received the mayor and sub-prefect of Verdun,
and spoke encouragingly to them. He. wis
then accompanied by the Prince Imperial, but
was almost without an escort, ne went to the
railway station and demanded a train. The
officers of the road could furnish only a third
class car, and the Emperor assured them he
would be satisfied with that. The Prince
Imperial seemed to he greatly fatigued. A
locomotive preceded the train, to see that the
road was clear. Next morning at daylight
the Emperor reached Chaons.
While at Metz the Emperor issued the fol
lowing order, which was printed and distributed
among the officers:
The Prussians commence action by putting
forward a small force, but placing heavy bat
teries behind them in good positions. They
then form a line of sharpshooters, who, under
cover of the woods, keep up a constant fire,
and gradually gain the flank of their enemy.
When the sharpshooters are well engaged the
Prussians put forward strong bodies of troops,
who try to approach as near the hostile lines
as possible unseen. Having given these de
tails, the Emperor concludes by directing offi
cers to imitate the tactics of the enemy.
London, Aug. 19.
The following is the letter of the Pope to
King William, proposing mediation:
Tour Majesty: In the present grave circum
stances it may appear an unusual thing to re
ceive a letter from me, but as the vicar on
tarth of the God of peace, I cannot do less
than oiler my mediation.
It is my desire to witness the cessation of
warlike preparations, and to stop the evils of
their inevitable consequences. My mediation
is that of a sovereign whose small dominion
excites no jealousy, and who inspires confi
dence by the moral and religious influence he
personifies. May God lend an ear to my
wishes, and listen also' to those I form for
your MajeBty, to whom I would be united in
the bonds of charity. Given at the Vatican,
July 22, 1870.
A postscript adds, "I have written identi
cally to the Emperor." s
The King's reply is as follows:
Most august Pontiff: I am not surprised, but pro
foundly moved, at the touching words traced by
your band. They cause the voice of Ood and of
peace to be beard. How could my heart refuse to
listen to so powerful an appeal. Ood witnesses that
neither I nor my people desired or provoked war.
Obeying the sacred duties which Ood Imposes on
eovereigns and nations we take up the sword to de
feud the independence and honor of our oountry,
ready to lay it down the moment those treasures are
secure.
If your Holiness could offer me, from htm who so
unexpectedly declared war, assurances ofincerely
fiacitio dispositions, and guarantees against a sitnl
ar attempt on the peace and tranquillity of Europe,
rt certainly will not be I who will refuse to receive
them from your venerable bauds, united aa I am
with you in bonds of Christian charity and sincere
friendship. William.
Paris, Aug. 184 P. M Special to the
New York Times. The nomination of Gen'l
Trochu to be Military Governor of Paris, and
tbo recall of the Garde Mobile to the Capital
inspire great confidence among the people, as
proofs tbat the army of Paris is able to repel
any attack of the enemy, and rendering it cer
tain that Paris will bo well defended.
Fighting is still going on, but. Baziine will
only send a report when the result is certain.
There is no confirmation of the rumor that
Prince Frederick Charles has beeu wounded.
I have just heard from a good source the
Original cause of the hostility of the London
Times to the Emperor, and the sudden wheel
around of the Daily Telegraph in the same
direction. Lady Waldegrave, of Strawberry
Hill, a great friend of the Orleans family, is
dining and wining the London journalists witn
a view to make patizans. Delane, of the Lon-
" don Times, drives there three times a week,
and hag been more easily won over by her
ladyship, from the fact that ho lost $ .'0,000
in the time of the Ilohenaollern atlYir, by
stock speculations for a rise, in faith of the
announcement of the settlement of the war
question by M.' Ollivier's Le Voiixtitutionnel.
Among tne receui conquests oi ine csoren
of Strawberry mi! are Monsieur aim juaaacue
Lesg, of the Telegraph. They honored au
, invitation of her ladyship, and the allegiance
of that journal was secured.
Lomdov, August 19 The New York Tribune's
correspondent, writing from Meta on Monday, sayl
at eleven o'clock on Sunday Bazaiue effected a
grand reconnoissance with one division of L'Adml
rault's corps. At two o'clock the battle coram need
ontlierifcbt at borney. t'ntil four it was of no
if at importance, 'ihen the ita army corps, form
ing the fl rrt line of battle, accomplished a measure
, Intended to oVcelve tbe rrassiana into the belief
tbat it was retreating.
Tbe Prnwlans fell Into the trap, rushed forward
and attacked with surprising vigor. The fourth
corps at once fell on the enemy's flank while McMa
bon on tbe right attacked simultaneously. Tbe
movements of both sides were effected with singular
precision. The correspondent knows little more,
but says an evening bulletin was placarded saying
tbe Prussian lines were extended, three leagues of
ground being gained in every direction.
A special writes from Berlin, on Tuesday, that
the encounter before Meti on Snndav was an at
tack upon tbe rear-guard of the French and a re
pulf e of a sortie from the fortress by the troops of
the first Eastern Prussian and tbe seventh West
phalia army corps; the commanders of these two
army corps, Von Man ten ft el and Von Zastrow,
having directed the movements.
It is probable that a siege of Metz will begin at
once. Tbe siege train at Magdabourg had left for
France already on Saturday, and other siege artil
lery Is to follow it, Strasburg, it Is supposed, will
be besieged exclu-lvely by South German (chiefly
Baden) troops. An early surrender is, however,
anticipated, after an earnest siege will have been
sufficiently fhown, but the impression Is not so in
the case of Mete.
A correspondent In tbe rear of the Germ n army
writes that the movement of the troops is incessant,
though no one is told whither they are going, ani
with each advance the Prussians bring forward
their field-post and their telegraph.
A more perfect svstem of organization It is diffi
cult to imagine. The columns of provisions creep
like great serpents over the country from side to
side. For many a mile the whole country is on tbe
move.
Paris, August 19. The Journal Officii!
this morning publishes the following as having
been approved by the Empress:
Madame The ports of Cherburg, Brest,
Lorient, Rochefort and Toulon having been
declared in a state of siege, if the letter of
provisions of the decree of October 13, 18G3,
were to be strictly followed, the powers in
trusted to the military authorities, by virtue
of a state of siege, should devolve on generals
commanding the territorial divisions withia
the limits in which are found these five
ports. As these powers are not entrusted to
any maritime authority by the terms of the
88th article, except in case of unforeseen
attack, the present cirumstances and general
interest in the defence of the country demand
the abolishing of said article. Therefore,
after having a consultation with the Minister
of Marine, I have the honor to propose to your
Majesty to decree that maritime prefects be in
vested with the extraordinary title of superior
commanders of all troops stationed within
those five military posts. Palikao.
Paris, Aug. 19.
As the council of war will not meet until
Saturday, civil magistrates have examined the
rioters of the Boulevard de la Villette, and
sent those against whom prima facia evidence
of guilt is adduced to prison, to 3 wait trial be
fore a military court.
The publications of the journals Ceutre,
Gauche and Cloche has been suspended by or
der of the military authorities.
Additional arrests of Prussian spies were
made yesterday.
The private gardens of the Tueleries have
been turned into outdoor military hospitals,
which have been placed 'under the superinton
dency of Dr. Nelaton.
Members of the Garde Mobile arrive here
from the provinces daily by thousands. They
are fine men, and need only a few days drill
ing to make good soldiers.
The Gaitlois says: "We may now affirm
that we have a great general at the head of
our armies. The greatest proof is his calm
ness in the hour of victory. He awaits sure
results before he telegraphs successes. For
whole days he has resisted the temptation to
announce good news, until nothing can com
promise the hopes he might raise."
Great crowds collect daily around the doors
of the Bank of France to obtain specie for
bills. Brokers charge a premium of ten per
cent, for coin. The Patrie defends the offi
cers from the charge of negligence in not pre
paring to meet the demand for small bills, and
announces that an enormous quantity will be
ready in a few days.
