TII3 WAR.
LAST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES.
THE BATTLE OF FRIDAY NEAR TARIS A COM
PLETE FRENCH VICTORY INTERVIEW WITH
BISMARCK THE CONDITIONS OF rEACE GER
MAN POSSESSION OF METZ AND STRASBl'Rtf AB
SOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
London, Sept. 20. Special to New York
Tribune. ' The correspondent of the Tribune
writes from Meaux, the 15th inst., from the
headquarters of King William, as follows: "I
had a conversation with Count von Bismarck,
during which I asked him if the report was
true that there was an English representative
here. He answered, 'The Kngli6h have asked
me if we will treat with Favre, and I replied
we would, if his Government could guarantee
us possession of Metz and Btrasburg. This he
could not do.'
" -In this war we are influenced,' said Bis
marck, 'by no motive of aggrandizement what
ever. We have no purpose in view but our
own security; consequently we must provide
tor the next war, which is sure to come.
France is now without allies, hut mav soon
succeed in procuring them, and Is 6nre to com
mence another war under better auspices. This
is why we demand these fortresses. But the
present Government in Paris dare not agree to
the cession of French terrttory, nor probably
will the next Government. But our purpose is
fixed, and it necessary we are ready to stay all
winter at Paris.'
'I said 'the general impression was that
France Is too much weakened to begin another
war for many years.' 'That is not the case,'
answered llismarek, 'France is a very wealthy
country, and will remain so after the war.
Within five years she will have recovered as be
fore to commence hostilities. For that reason
we must have those fortresses, but as the
government of Paris is not disposed to deliver
ihem up, and probably has no command over
them, peace is not very near, and we must wait
until we reduce them. WeheaMhat the garri
eons are already eating horses.'
" 'Then the question of peace,' I said, 're
duces Itself to one for the possession of Metz
and Btra6burg.' He answered 'yes, that Is it
precisely.'"
Fighting all day Fiiday near Paris is re
ported from Tours, but the accounts are con
tradictory. English journals refuse to publish
ihem.
The inhabitants of Strasburg are still kept
in Ignorance of events outside the city. They
telieve the French have been victorious, and
that the army is advancing to the relief of the
city.
The Xnglleh press compare the war move
ments in trance with those of the late Ameri
can contest; especially with the campaigus of
General Grant against Yicksburg and Kicn
wond. As Boon as the Italian troops were installed
all political prisoners were set free.
1 ne letter t Victor Emanual to the Pope,
announcing the necessity for the occupation of
Kome, is condemned by some as too' dutiful,
and by others as too'arrogant.
London, Sept. 20 Evening Special to the
New York Herald. J The following 1 atl ex
tract of aa article published this evening in the
Globe:
"Among the foremost and largest subscrip
tions to the fund for the relief of the widows
and families of the crew which perished in the
Captain, is the contribution of the officers and
thip's company, of the United States steam
frigate Franklin, nowlvingat Portsmouth. This
contribution was handed iu wim promptness
iA liberality, wMch could hardly haye been
locked fcr vta by cue of our own ship of wax.
The piilnnt crew of the Franklin paid over to
the fuiid a very large sum, which must hivii
been t ulscribtd in a very short time.
"It is tiot the Amount., although, as said, the
item 1b the largest In the list, that causes us so
keenly to appreciate the net; it Is the kindly
spirit that prompted it, the open-hearted and
combined generosity of the sailors of America."
All hope of a settlement between Prussia
and France is abandoned. The general feel
ing is that the refusal by France of Bismarck's
proposition will place that country in a worse
position.
London, Sept. 2i. Special to the New York
Herald. A despatch from Madrid says: Be
fore Oloznga's departure yesterday he was met
at the station by friends, who asked him if the
restoration of Napoleon was possible. "It is
easier," was his reply, "to raze the Pyrenees
to their base."
The ministerial organ announces that in a few
days there will be joyful news for Spain.
After the proclamation of the Pnnsian king
as Emperor of Germany, it is the intention of
Bismarck to recompense the Kimr of Saxony
for the loss of his crown by placing his son,
Prince John, on the throne of Spain, by the
ail of Prim. Th latter risks his head at this
game, but will do it.
Toms, Sept. 2C. There have been several
engagements with the enemy in the open coun
try between Paris and Blois. The results were
not serious.
The government hero denies the statement of
the Berlin correspondent of the London Times
that Marshal Bazaine had made proposals for
surrender.
The garrison of Havre has been reinforced,
and has also received a number of mitrailleuses.
The place is now fully prepared to resist at
tack. A great majority of the prefects of de
partments have met to organize a general up
rising for the national defense.
Several journals here dwell on the fact that
the government permits such disorders to con
tinue as those at Lyons. Cluseret is there,
and his influence, they say, is very bad. It
ferns to be his purpose to excite serious dis
turbances. Berlin, Sept. 26. The approaching alliance
between Austria aud Prussia occupies public
attention in Vienna. The Hungarians oppose
the arrangement, fenriny: a preponderance of
German influence over Austria.
The reasons for the removal of General
Steinmetz given by the Xorlh German Gazette
differ materially from those credited by poli
ticians, who attribute his displacement "to un
warranted exposure of his troops in the battles
around Metz.
This journal, denying the reports, extols the
General's personal bravery, which was com
bined with the greatest regard for the lives of
his troops, and says:
"His appointment as GovernoY-General of
Tosen was a necessary act of military expe
diency." Napoleon's gala drives create some
displeasure in court circles. Tho vehicle used
on these occasions was the imperial open car
riage, brought from Sedan, containing nine
seats. As a delicate hint two of the King's state
carriages, with two scats each, were sent for the
future use of the Emperor, who, understanding
fully the meaning of this polite-attention, has
ever since kept within doors.
According to his physicians ho is unwell, suf
fering from the draught aud cold of the castle.
A change of residence is proposed, either to the
palace Ex Palatine, at Cassel, or Bellevuc, a
castle near Berlin, occupied once by his uucle

Biuel8. Sept. 20. Special to the New
York Tribune. J Travellers who escaped from
Paris Etate that guns were firing day and night.
Fugitive zouaves were executed iu'the streets.
Ihe authority of the Government is much ques
tioned. Lloyds reports that the police of Calais were
instructed to allow no Frenchmen to embark
on outward bound vessels, whether having
passports or not.
Caklsrhce, Sept. 20 -(Special to the New
York Tribune). Before the Swiss delegates left
Strasburg General L'lrich told them that it was
impossible for the present state of things to last
much longer; that ho had gone through several
campaigns, and served iu the Crimea, but he had
never witnessed nor underwent so terrible a
siege.
The municipality had resolved, with the Gov
ernor's permission, to send a deputation to Paris
to represent the condition of allairs and request
instructions.
The new prefect, Valentin, and Mayor Engel
hardt were permitted to euter the city. It is
proposed to establish an al inleri.a government
in French departments occupied, but tho Duke
of Mecklenberg will be probably president of
the new government.
Public meetings are wholly prohibited at
Konig6berg by the military governor, who in
sists that the Saxon authorities have forbidden
all gatherings of democratic socialists in Saxony.
The Tribune correspondent writing from
Tours, the 23d, says the government still fears
an armed collision at Lyons.
London, Sept. 20. Special to New York
"World.' Your correspondent at Rouen 6ends
to-day particulars of the action reported yester
day from Poitiers by way of Beauvois. It was
a much more Important engagement than first
accounts led us to believe, aud resulted in the
complete defeat of the Germans.
The action was fought on the line of the Or
leans Railway, beyond Epinay station, about 16
miles from Paris. A column of ten thousand
Prussians advancing from Spinoy, about two
miles on the plateau of Lonjixneau, attacked a
French force numerically inferior, but occupy
ing a formidable position above the river Frette,
which commanded the roads to Balamvilliers,
Cuchet, Secaux and Charteaux.
The attack began at six in the morning. The
French forces, mainly Gardes Mobiles, with a
battalion of the line, had 10 mitrailleuses lu
position. The French behaved with singular
steadiness, awaiting the German attack in
silence, without firing a 6hot, retreated under
cover of the woods, and drew the Germans on
until they were brought obliquely into range of
the masked battery, which then opened on
them suddenly aud with tremendous effect.
Tho Prussian column was cut in two, and the
French charging upon the flank drove the frag
ments In a hurried retreat down a steep and rapid
descent, beyond the tower of Montchay, toward
the barbettes and lines. There the Germans
attempted to make a stand and a new formation,
but the French artillery, which had been
quickly brought up by the cross-roads of the
country, here opened upon them again with
more effect than before. The retreat was con
verted into a rout.
The German troops fled in all directions,
throwing away their arms, and the French
captured all their artillery a battery of steel
cannon, with two regimental etauJards, and
between six and seven hundred men, who sur
rer dered in a body, and were despatched next
day to Chartres. Among the prisoners are two
colonels of the Prussian line, and a number of
fcaxon omcers.
The news of this victory created great re
joicing at Tours and Rouen. The French
troops engaged belonged to the Army of the
Loire.

Louis Eapcleon WJ11 Not Poison Him-
self with Muddy Water.
All American citizens should preserve their health
by drinking nothing but the pure limpid water that
has passed through
SCHftRFF & WOOD'S
Patent Filter and Cooler.
Why! suffer with the Gravel caused by mud?
Why ! suffer with Griping Pains caused by drinking
Ice water, when by having your water Altered and
cooled as nature niters aud cocls the pure Spring
water, you may avoid these ills?
The Schuylkill water la rendered impure by the
numerous factories, coal oil re a aeries, stuks, slaugh
ter houses, dye works, etc. etc., whlcU cluster on Its
banks.
By forcing this impure water through
SCUARFF & WOOD'S PATENT FILTER AND
COOLER
It Is rendered as pure as the waters that ran from
the mountain riils.
The expense la nothing in comparison to the
benefit derived from Ps use.
In one season it will pay for Itself In the saving of
Ice: It never gets out of order, and will last a lfe
time.
For further particulars send for a circular.
