The vacillation of the government about the elec

A letter irom jrersigny to tue jsmperor, oearing
no date, and postmarked Strasburg, December 7,
lte, says: "as you are about to communicate seve
ral broad truths to the illustrious personages sur
rounding you you can add the following: ''Whilst
we are pompously and tediously deliberating at to
wnat snouia De aone to ODtain an array, 1'russia
proposes simply and with great activity to Invade
onr territory. She will be in a position to place in
line 600,000 men and 1200 cannon before we have
thought of organizing a trame work, wbtcb w in
dispensable before we can place In the field 330,000
men and 1600 cannon.
Blindness alone can permit a doubt that war
will break out at an early day. Without stupid
vanity and mad presumption we might belleva we
could choose the day and hour when our organiza
tion and armament will be completed, But I am
of opinion and begin to believe the government has
gone mad. If Jupiter has decided to destroy the
country, let us not forget her destroyer. 1ur lot is
allied. As we are not yet attacked by madnass, let
ns make an enort to stop the ratal course leading
direct to the precipice. .
"1 draw your attention to the following because it
is of a nature to open the eves of the least clear
sighted: . ' ' '
'For some time past Prussian agents nave been
rnnning over the frontier departments, particularly
the
the
portions comprised between the -Moselle and
Voeges, to sound the oplnlous of the population
and bring influence to bear npon the Protestauts,
who are numerous in those parts, and much less
French than is generally believed. They are the
grandsons of the men of 1815, and have sent deputa
tions to the headquarters pf the enemy to ask tbat
Alsace be taken over by Germany.
"It Is well to note these facts, for they may reason
ably be considered as throwing light upon the
enemy's plans. The Prussians adopted the sme
courte three months before the opening of the Aus
trian war in Bohemia and Silesia."
Ostbmd, Oct. 5 Special to the New York World
It is not believed General Moltke has been either
ill or wounded. Keports of Prussian movements

expeditions. The Prussian losttes In the attach on
Fort Bluetre were immense.
Efforts Made to Draw Auatrla Into Italian
liuiilnaMna
A Vienna correspondent says, writing on the
ICtb of September:
Before the occupation of the Papal territory
by Italian troops both the Italian Government
and the Holy 8ee made repeated attempts to
draw Austria into the question. The former
wit bed to protect itself against all eventualities.
by Inducing- the Government here to express
approval of tbe occupation; but the Vienna
Cabinet showed no disposition to take so de
cided a step in the matter, apparently con
sidering that the attitude of strict reserve which
it maintained was In Itself a great advantage to
Italy, ana that as sue treats the Question as an In
tenia! one, and seeks the support of public opinion
in tier own country on mis ground, a foreign
government could not reasonably be expected
to enter into engagements oh this subject. The
Holv See. on tbe other hand, used every effort.
through its Nuncio and Cardinal Nardl, to per
suade the Foreign Office at Vienna to protest
against the proposed occupation. It was hardly
consistent of the Vatican to ask Austria to in
terfere, when it obstinately refases to enter into
negotiations with Italy itself. Moreover, such
a step would have been utterly opposed to the
spirit of the new Austrian policy, ana tne pro
Doeal was accordingly declined.
A fiendish negro at St. Louie recently drove
a knife through the spine of a young girl of
his own color who bd refused to marry blm.
It was with very great difficulty that the knife
could be extracted from the wound. The girl is
not expected to recover.
