TUB WAR.
I AST NIGHT'S DESPATCHES.
FltENCH 8VCCENBES KEAB PARIS THE PRUSSIANS
DRIVEN BACK rRCBSIAN OCCUPATION OF
BTRASnrRO THE MEZriERES ARMISTICE.
The Times of this morning has a special dis
patch giving the following intelligence: On
Tuesday last, September 27, the French made
another sortie from Metz. The forces con
sisted of cavalry and artillery, and were pro
tected by the guns of Forts Quintcn and Bottes.
The French advanced to Ars-lo-Queux, where
the Prussians were encountered and another se
vere conflict ensued, which resulted in the de
feat of the I rench, though they carried oft
their wounded, dead and all the Prussian pris
oners they had captured. The village was
burned by shells.
The French garrison of Strasburg have
been removed to Kastadt, in Baden, as pri
soners of war. Tlio Prussians have already
occupied the town and citadel, and the bridge
to Kohl has been restored by pioneers.
At nine o'clock tho mayor and municipal
authorities of Strasburg proceeded to Mun
delsbeim. At half past ten the garrison laid
down their arms, and at eleven o'clock the
Prussians, together with the Baden troops,
had occupied all the public place's and build
ings. The Prussian generals are to formally
enter the city to-day. Three batteries have
been established at Place de Kleber.
Lowpon, Sept 2!) Special to the New York
Times. I have It from a well-informed quarter
that the pressure brought to bear upon the English
Ministry by men like Sir Henry Bulwer on the on
hand, and deputations from the radical party on the
other, is producing an effect upon the government,
which is likely to depart from its policy of ab
stention from active mediation.
The working classes favor a determined effort to
stop the war. It is curious to see that while the
married men of the city are against interference,
all inilitaiy and naval men are loud In their ex
pressions of indignation because no etl'jrt is made
by England to save France from ruin.
A correspondent, writ'ng from Hamburg, the
27th, states that a reserve corps of 80,000 men passed
through Franktoit this week, to reinforce the Prus
sian armies. Typhus fevtr is prevalent in German
hospitals. The wounded are being removed from
contagion.
London, Sept 29 Special to the New York
Times The Pall Mall Gazette this evening con
tains a letter from an American surgeon, who,
from the initials, seems to be Dr. Sims inclosing
a translation of a protest, drawn up by French
officers, against capitulation at Sedan, signed by a
number of generals and superior officers who.
claim that they ought to have sat in council on
that step; but state that tbey hive been kept in
utter ignorance of it. It' they had known that it
was intended they would have opposed with all
their energv a surrender unexampled in history.
Bbrlim, Sept. 29 The negotiation for the entry
of the South German States into the northern con
federation have failed. Delbruck has returned
from his mission.
Berlin, Sept. 29 Special to the New York
Tribune. The popular appetite for conquest is in
creasing, but trustworthy accounts from head
quarters represent the King and Bismarck as both
sincerely desirous for peace.
Toms, Sept. 29. It is announced that dis
patch balloons will bo sent from Paris daily.
Advices received to-day from tho capital
report successes for the besieged in various
minor movements around the city. The Mo
bile Guard behave extremely well under fire.
The removal from Tours is no longer talked of.
The following dispatches have been received
by the Ministers:
Orleans, Sept. 29. The enemy, who yes
terday was at Cercottas, the first station on
the railway north of this city, appears to be
retiring- It is believed news of a serious
check near Paris occasions their retreat.
Bellegard, Sept. 28. It is reported that
Pithiviers has been evacuated by the Prus
sians, who have withdrawn in the direction ot
Etampes.
N EMOi its, Sept. 28. At Chapelle la Reine,
the Prussian post was captured by Francs
tireurs. Alter the departure of the latter the
Prussians returned to the place and burned
some dwellings and exacted a contribution of
ten thousand francs.
Francs-tireurs also captured a convoy of
munitions on the way to the Prussian torces
in the neighborhood.
Mezieres, Sept. 29, via London. An
armistice has been concluded with the Prus
sian forces around this town, and will prob
ably be continued until October7.
Yerdun is besieged, but the Prussians have
made no strong demonstrations against the
place.
Lyons, Sept. 23 Special to New York Sun.
The Southern League, or independent association
of the different southern departments of France,
is growing stronger every day, and a formidable
army will be organized before long, with Lyons and
Marseilles as central points. There is no mob in
this city, and perfect order reigns under the red
flag.
Mbtz, Sept. 27 Special to the New York Tri
bune. Prince Frederick Charles reports himself
permanently established at the chateau of Corny
Johannstein. The main depot is at the same place.
The condition ot the troops is greatly improved.
The weather Is warm and dry, and the troops are
settled in good quarters. The French have com
pleted a new redoubt between St. Quentin and
Plafl'eville, and also additional intrench ruents In
side the fortifications. Besides the troops in the
city Bacaine'a army is encamped in four different
places.
There is a large encampment on the eastern slope
of St. Juentln; sesqjid, In the valley between Metz
and Foits Embarodene and Quentin: third, at the
loot of Fort St. Julien, and fourth, in the rear of
the railway sheds and workshops.
Touhs, Sept. 29 Special to New York Herald.
Advices from Paris to the 25th Inst., have been
received. It is reported that the success of the
French on the previous day produced a favorable
impression. Heavy losses to the Prussians are re
ported. London, Sept. 29. Special to the New
York World. By the recent successes of the
French troops around Pans the circle of the
German investment has been shattered at two
points, and repelled to a distance varying from
three to six miles, and the French have occu
pied the positions taken in strong force.
The Hungarian government, fearing the con
sequences of Russia's demonstrations against
Aubtria, insists upon co-operation, or at least
the absolute neutrality of Austria in the hos
tilities between Russia and Germany.
It is reported that Russia, supposed to be
threatening Turkey, has really ottered to pro
tect her against any attempts of the Pacha of
Egypt at independence.
The following curions sentence, "Satvr
mnvo Urtt optra rotai, is not nrst-class
Latin, but may be freely translated: "I
cease from my work; the mower will wear
bis wheels." It is, in fact, something like a
nonsense verse, but has these peculiarities:
1. It spells backward and forward all the
same. '. Then the first letter of each word
spells the first word. 3. Then all the second
letters of each word spell the second word.
4. Then all the third; and so on through the
fourth and fifth. 6. Then commencing with
the last letter of each word, spells the first
word. C. Tbtn tLe text to tte list, aud so
on tLrcugu.
