Paris, Ahgusl 24. Telegraphic communi
cation With all points In the Departments of
Aube and Cote d'Or is cut off. Y
The Minister of the Interior authorizes the
statement that additional advices of a favor
able character have been received from the
armies, but the information is withheld, as
some journals give details which should be
kept back. . .
Jhe.'Constitutionhd, answering the asser-
- a i try t a . . .
I uons oi me ijonuon limes, mat tne rrencn
are in a desperate condition, shows that that
jvum"u vv " ' vuNvmivuii "'uvui wil
ing -for complete reports of recent events, and
defies it to deoide who now is in the best mili
tary position Bazaine or King William. It
aids: "The hostility of . the Times is ac
counted for by the fact that the son of one of
Ms proprietors married the daughter of the
Prussian Ambassador at London, and some
persons nay that the journal has been subsi
dized by Bismarck." ,
The Vonstitutionnd,, semi-oflijially, sayss
"Without entering into details we may aflirm
that the work on the fortifications of the capi
tal is progressing with wonderfal rapidity,
and the elan of the population is immense.
Prussian papers represent that Paris is not
the Paris of the period between 1792 to 1815.
They will discover their mistake. The capital
proves now, as ever, that sho is the heart of
France, She is ready to receive the enemy.
Neither s pies nor battalions can break down the
wall of 'defence which her danger has cemented.
Should the Prussians advance to the ramparts
of Paris, they will find this out." .
The process of incorporating the National
Guard with th regular army has commenced.
It is reported, that a Prussian spy near
Rheims, mistaking a general officer for Mar
shal McMahon, fired twice at him. :He missed
Lis aim, but hit and dangerously wounded a
soldier standing by the Bide of the oftijer.
The spy was instantly secured. ? ,
The Journal Offickl says the amount of the
national loan taken yesterday, as far as heard
from, was 620,000,000 francs, and when the
lists closed last night at least 5000 persons
who were waiting to subscribe were sent away.
Returns from Marseilles, Bordeaux and
several other large cities had not been re
ceived.' The lists were reopened this morning,
and large crowds are pressing to subscribe.
The loan is issued in open market at COf. 80c.
the same figure as Rentes.
The press of the city generally condemn the
conduct of the deputies of the left in "yester
day's session of the Corps Legislatif. Gam
betta's attack is denounced as i!l-timed.
The Constitulionnel, in an editorial showing
the improvement in the military situation, says
it is reported that there was another engage
ment on Sunday, the 22d which resulted
favorably to the French. No further particu
lars are given.
a. Dauauon oi snarpsnooters passing
j through Paris last night created great enthu
siasm among the spectators. The moral tone of
the city has vastly improved. There is less
singing and shouting and more volunteering.
All citizens are providing themselves with,
arms.
- The wounded who retnrn from the field re
ceive ovations and are treated with every at
tention. London, August 24. Special to New York
Tribune. A special correspondent from
Rheims, on Monday, says: '
The Chalons camp is so completeiy deserted
that not a straggler is to be 'seen. We found
them again on the road to Rheims, which was
crowded with troops of every arm. As we ap
proached the citv we saw the French armv en.
I v camped parallel to the road from St. Mene-
V hould, and separated from it by Noirvesle.
C They are camped on the right bank of Vesle,
locking down the stream,
j I will not pretend to say what this unex
I pected movement meant, but it looks as if
part, at least, of Bazaine' forces had escaped
from Mfctz, and are expected to join the Cha
lons army at or near Rheims. There is a ru
mor that Bazaine is passing through Grand
Pre and Youzieres. What makes it look pro
bable is a strong force of light cavalry here,
two brigades of chasseurs and hussars. They
are probably the advance guard.
Since I began this letter news has been re-
part of his army, is in fast retreat by Vou
zieres, very hard pressed .by tho Prussians.'
lie was obliged to abandon his "retreat on the
Verdun road, which was completely in posses-
eivu vi ijic x ruoaiuus, uu mat is wuy an pris
oners and munitions were sent back from Ver
dun to Rheims.
If anv force has succeeded in reachin&r Vou-
xiers, or is on the road thither, it must have
escaped from Meti on the northwest,or is per-
baps that column which . we believe had got
I pastGravelotte before the Prussians' seized the
'road, on the 18th inst., but no word has come
iirect from Bazaine for two days, and my be
Jef is that he is cut off. At any rate his
jearest line of retreat was closed, und if he has
keen driven off into Argonnes there is no tell
ing when it is expected a junction of his forces
with those of McMahon can be accomplished,
and if they join, who is to command, tor nei
ther will serve under the other. .
Discontent is spreading fast among the
cfEcers, who are discouraged by the failure of
Bazaine thus far to unite with McMahon.
Ills letter, although written two days ago,
and arriving this morning by post, supplies
tie latest news of the position of the French
forces that Las been allowed to come by tele
graph. Jt lends an air of probability to the
extraordinary story that Bazaine bad made his
escape, with part of his forces, from Metz,
cuttjrg tLrough the extended lines of the
rrnKsiatiSi a story of which there is as yet no
word of confirmation from the Prussian side.
French telegrams, both dated yesterday
morning and evening, and received in London
simultaneously this morning, place i McMahon
first at Chalons and then at Rheims. The lat
ter is true, as the above letter shows.
I have the highest authority for contradict
ing the statement of the French that the
Prussians had sought permission from the
French to transport their wounded through
Luxemburg. The French insist on this as im
plied admission Of defeat. . What happened
was this: ! , ;.., - , i ' ; r
The Prussian government applied to know
whether they would-consider the transporta
tion of wounded : men throngh Luxembuig a
violation of its neutrality. . The English gov
eminent asked the French authorities whether
they objeoted and the French replied, "yesj
because it opens the Prussian railway to the
unrestricted transmission of troops and sup
plies." Prussia rejoins: "Three-fifths of the
wounded we want to send are French. If
you object we must attend to our own first
nor are the military trains capable of being
employed for the wounded.".
Gladstone favors the Prussian view, but
Hammond, Under Secretary of the Foreign
Office, opposes on technical grounds; and if
the French insist on their view nothing will be
done, and the French wounded will have their
own government to thank for needlessly pro
longing their sufferings. - .
The reported meeting of foreign ambassa
dors in Paris, to consider possible terms of
peace is wholly discredited. Prussia would
consider such a meeting, held lu the enemy's
capital, a gross discourtesy. Such initiative
would be regarded as serious if taken in Lon
don or St. Petersburg, but in Paris almost as
a violation of neutrality, and Prussia neither
believes the statement nor would listen for a
moment to any proposal so originating.
A special correspondent sends from Ham
burg on Monday, an account of the first naval
engagement of the war. On the morning of
the 17th, the German dispatch boat Grelle
ttarted out the bay of Rugen, to reconnoitre the
position and strength of the French ships of
war, whose arrival in the neighborhood had
been reported, though nobody had as yet seen
them.
After proceeding at sea until within sight of
the Danish island of Mocn, the Grelle at length
discovered the tall masts of the squadron,
consisting of seven ironclad frigates and a
couple of smaller vessels, and approached
boldly until within three thousand paces. The
French then opened fire and directed several
broadsides at the little craft, at the same time
giving chase. Every now and then she laid to
to fire a few shots at her pursuers from her
two rifled twelve-pounders in answer to the
guns of the whole fleet. She lured them to
follow her as far as Post-house, at Wittom,
where three gun-boats, tho Dracbe, Blitz and
Salamander, were lying, which,on hearing the
report of cannonading at sea, immediately got
up steam and weighed anchor to stand by their
Consort. .,.:;!. ,-. ,
The Commodore of the little ' squadron,
Captain Count Von Walderz, made signal for
the commander of each gunboat to attack the
enemy at his own discretion,' which produced
loud cheers,' aud they all steamed out ready
for action with the superior force of the ene
my. After a running fight of three hours the
gunboats, finding their guns were harmless
against the plated sides of the iron-clads, re
turned to the protection of their shore bat
teries. It is thought that the French fired either too
high or too low, but it was difficult in a fresh
breeze to take eteady aim at the little gunboat,
lying low in the water and painted gray, so as
to be almost invisible.
Several shots from tho gunboats hit their
mark, and shells from the Salamander were
seen to explode on the desk of one of the ships,
and must have done some damage to the men
at their guns.
The German flotilla suffered no losses what
ever, though it might have been very different
had any of the heavy twenty-eight centimere
shells, fired from the French ships, exploded
on the deck ef the gunboats. The latter hav
ing filled up their stock of ammunition and
coals at Stralsund, returned to their stations
on the outer roads, where they are on outpost
duty.
BELGIUM.
Kin Leopold' Speech to hla Parliament-The
Jburopean Crista and the National Duty.
The following is the complete text of the
speech of King Leopold II on the opening of the
Belgian Parliament, at Brussels, on Monday,
August 6: .
"At the moment when events abroad excite in our
hearts patriotic feelings, 1 was anxious to see the
national representatives united around me. I in
dulge in the hope that the scourge of war will not
stain our soil with blood, and that Helglum, Inorton
iive and well-Inclined towards all, will notwitneM
the infringement of a neutrality imposed on her and
guaranteed by each of the flv great Powers of Ku.
rope. The Emperor of th French has written to
me to state that hla formal Intention In conformity
with his international obligations Is to respect the
neutrality of Belgium. I J in Imperial Majesty at tne
same time expresses his desire to be confirmed in
the opinion he entertains that my kingdom will
ause us neutrality to be respected by all means In
Its power. I was nappy to be able to declare in my
answer that his Majesty was not mistaken as to our
Intentions.
"The King of Prussia's Government has also has
tened to give me a written assurance that Belgian
neutrality shall be respected by It so long as the
other belligerent parties shall not have violated the
existing treaties. .
"Among the friendly testimonials which I have re
ceived from foreign powers. I am happy to cite, with
a gratitude in which the whole couatry will share,
the solicitude of the Queen of Great Britain's Gov.
eminent for the Interests of Belgian nationality, and
the generous supports which those sentiments have
found lii the i'arliument and public opinion of Eng
land. "Belgium, on her side, In the position In which in
ternational law baa placed her, will not forget wlut
she owes to other States nor her duties towards her
self. 8he will know how, during the war, to main
tain In her conscientious neutrality the honest and
sincere character which she has always endeavored
to give to her relations In times of peao. In
conformity with the desire of the belligerents
themselves, she will hold herself ready to defeud
herself with all the ardor of her patriotism and ail
the resources that a nation derives fruiu the ener
gies of its will. My Government has already takej
on its own responsibility the measures wblcn
cir oniHtances demand, and to which the two dum
ber will not refute their approbation. Jn the midst
of the anxieties which to naturally occupy vour
minds the Government will only submit to 'you
during your extraordinary session some bills of an
nrgent character, the adoption of which cannot be
delayed till other times. B lgium, gjutletnen, has
already gone tirongh rsore ttun one perilous trial
None has been of the gravity of thitt through which
she is now passing. By her prnden se, upright senti
ments, and turn patriotism she will be able to show
that she is worthy of herself, of the esteem which
the other nations accord t-her, and of the pros
pel ity which ber free institution? have procured lor
her. . . , ' - f
"1 he Belgian nation has a profound consciousness
of its right; it knows the value of the wealth which
during the last forty years It has so successfully ao
fUlrd and so honorably employed. It is not ready
to forget that what It has now to preserve Is- the
welfare, libel tf, honor, and even the existence or
the country, in presence of so sacred a cause let
all Belgian hearts be united, lu the accomplish
ment of snch duties people and King will never hive
but one soul and one cry
M Vic la Beliique iiuitpttuUmtv!
"God watches over ber and protects her rights."
All the phrases ot the royal cpeecli were
warmly applauded, and the enthusiasm ruse to
its height at the pasae relative to England.
Prolonged cries of " Vice rAnyU ttrre!" then re
sounded on all sides. The King and Queen
were most warmly greeted both on their arrival
and departure.
S0TES OF" THE WAR.
(raaa Peere Not ihe Jlenalt ( I.nek.
tThe fkiturday Jicoioo declares that no one
can say the German successes have been the,
result ot luck. There are several distinct causes
to which they can be clearly traced. In the
first place, they have a very great superiority in
numbers. In the next place, the generalship of
the French has been atrocious, f he Austrians
In the worst days of the Anlic Council were
never worre handled. ' Whether the fault has
been entirely with the Emperor, or whether his
marshals were as incapable as he was, la un
known; but, in one shape or other, supreme in
capacity has presided over the French army,
and hurled it hopeless on its fate.
The DrllB Treaty. '
The Spectator maintains that only two serious
objections have been raised to the treaty, and
that both of them admit of easy answers. . It 4s
alleged by Lord Cairns and Mr. Disraeli that in
the event of an invasion of Belgium our refusal
to co-operate with our ally in the general opera
tions of the war would be utterly worthless.
We could not, for example, fight France in
alliance with Prussia without aiding Prussia or
without resisting France at any point at
which she might attack. That is true,
T)nt then we conld not flgbt France alone
without aiding Prussia also. The use of
the stipulation is to enable as to retire when the
object is accomplh-hcd, to limit the object of the
war, and to exonerate us from any necessity of
securing advantages for any power other than
ourselves and Belgium.
The ".HaraelllaUft
The Tall Mall Gazette says: The war between
France and Prussia has notoriously given a new
value to the national anthem of the ilret revolu
tion. Surprised to find that they are encouraged
to sing a melody which they were so long
obliged to hum in secret, through fear of being
silenced by the poL'ce, the French are deter
mined to make the best of -ttyelr opportunity,
fend at every theatre in Paris the "Marseillaise
is shouted on the stage to the delight of an en
thusiastic public. Although the words and
muBic were composed in reference, not to an
Empire, but to a Republic, people are beginlng
to remember that the composition was originally
called "Le Chant de TArmee du Ruin," aud con
sequently to find that a square peg may be made
to fit a round hole more easily than might, at
the first glance, be suspected.
The Pruaalaa Condillona.
The Telegraph regards the defeat of the
French as a foregone conclusion, and speculates
on the terms the victorious Prussians will im
pose. Of late years, the glory of the Seven
Days' campaign, with the constant dread of a
Fiench invasion, has reconciled the Prussians to.
the endurance of the military organization es
tablished under Bteiu's administrations but no
prophet is needed to foretell that, with the com
mercial and industrial development of Prussia,
the dav is not distant when she will be obliged
to abandon an exceptional system of army ser
vice. Knowing this, the Prussian Government
is bound to anticipate the possibility of having
at some future day to defend itself against a
French aggression under far Ices favorable con
ditions. Moreover, the mere necessity of keep
ing up an immense armed force in order to
protect the soil of Germany is in itself - ruin
ous to the Fatherland. One should
not therefore be surprised if Prussia
insisted upon a permanent reduction ot the
French standing army as an essential condition
of any pacific arrangement.,'. In that case the
plan of reduction would be embodied in a pro
position for mutual disarmament. In the con
trary event, the one certain result of any en
forced diminution of the French armies will be,
so soon as the force of external pressure is re
moved, to incite the nation to disregard the
spirit, if not the letter, of the restriction; as
Prussia herself did in the days when the First
Napoleon placed a limit upon the number of
troops that she was permitted to keep under
arms. Alsace, where German is still the uni
versal language of the population, might be an
nexed without much opposition on the part of
its inhabitants; but the possession of that pro
vince by Germany would be a standing source of
irritation to France. -;
AI. Farcy's Gnajboat.
The famous gunboat invented by M. Farcy,
naval lieutenant, has been sent from Cherbourg
to Strasbourg, by way of the Seine and the
canals. This gunboat seems to have solved the
problem of a craft possessing a very light draft
of water, and able to carry a single gun of the
largest known calibre. It was built at St. Denis,
near Paris, in the workshop of Cladarede & Co.,
and is nothing more than a floating ghn-car-rlage.
Its dimensions were 15 me'.res in length
by 4 metres 60 centimetres in breadth; and
although it has a displacement of 44 tons,
it draws but three feet of water. This is
due to the peculiar construction of the hull,
which is grooved longitudi nally, the rrooves so
dividing the water as to offer the "least re
sistance, giving at the same time great steadi
ness to the vessel. It is propelled by two sma 1
engines of five nominal horse-power, capable of
working up to 40, and connected with two in
dependent screws. Its average speed is six
knots and a half, abundantly sufficient for fight
ing purposes. By the help of its two screws it
turns with unusual quickness, and in the same
length of time whether with the rudder alone or
with the two screws, in either case not exceed
ing one minute five seconds for a complete
clrcule. But the diameter of the circle varies, be
ing about with the rudder alone, while with
the help of the two screws acting In opposite
directions the vessel turns literally in its own
length. It is needless to remark on the import
ance of the readiness with which such a craft
can be handled in action. In this case the ves
sel will perform a revolution in less time than
the gun can be loaded. And notwithstanding
her extreme smallness, she is, nevertheless, to a
certain extent, seaworthy, being fitted with a
fOH-ataut, ending in a prolonged spur or beak.
When a wave strikes this beak it is broken, and,
diverging to starboard and port, passes on either
side, or la'ls harmlessly on the deck if it reaches
so hitrh.
