Lomdoh, Oct. 13 It seems that the Empress Eugenie sent for General Bourbakl, and that her object was to propose through him conditions of peace, on the basis that Prussia should retain Al sace and Lorraine, and leave the Prince Imperial under her regency to govern France. When she was told bv Bourbakl that nobody in Prance would tolerate even the presence of tbe Prince Imperial, the Empress burst into tears. The letter from Eu genie to the (Emperor, of whlob Countess Go w per was the bearer, doubtless referred to this project. ' The preliminaries of marriage between the Princess Louisia, fourth daughter of Queen Vic toria, and the Marquis of Lome, eldest, son of the Duke of Argyle, have been arranged, with the consent of the Queen. It is considered that the possibility of the Princess succeeding to the Crown is too remote to render the alliance dangerous. Tbe town of Ablis has been burned, according to the threats of the Prussians, because the people, not regular soldiers of France, had tired at the Prussians. General Burnaide has frequent Interviews with Count Bismarck. . . . - Tbe Prussians occupy Breteull, and are oertainly advancing on Amiens. Tbe disorders in Uheims are denied. The rumor and the contradiction are equally untrustworthy. The correspondent of the London Poet reports, that one hundred anl fifty volunteers from the United States recently arrived at Tours, and met w ith an enthusiastic reception. General Fleury has been permitted to rejoin Na poleon at Wllbeuuehoae. There la much cariosity to know what has become of Marshal Lebouf. No thing has been heard of aim since tbe first serious battle arounda Meta. Tha people in Tours and Its vicinity are reported to be rushing to arms. It is expected that the large masses of fresh troops called out by Minuter G i in fect t a will take tbe Held within ten days. It is reported that General Bourbakl hat taken command at Tours. An engagement took place on the 11th Instant between tha Prussians aud French at Messaugere. The latter were defeated and compelled to abandon the place. A corps of Frano-tlreurs left Lyons yesterday for the seat of operation on the Loire. It Is re ported that the garrison of Montmedy made a sortie which resulted in the recapture of Stenay. Lonno, Oct-13 It it reported that Prussia de aires the restoration of Nice to Italy. Loom, Oet. 13. (Special to the New York Tri bune). A letter dated Meseires, on October 7, says to-day's battle was the most Important effort tnat Bazaine nas made since me rrusstaus have thrown their belt of suns and earthworks around the fortress. He had at least Uo.OOO men engaged, but the Prussians were much more numerous. The morning was dull and misty. About one o'clock I was sltili.a at lunh with tw s'alf ortloers !n au sibor in General liatumcr's garden, bu tue g tas cf tbe Prnssian batttrie, -by Bra-Hurt, b'gn to give toxgnc, and the roar of guni grew louder an I louder, and then cmo first one great boom and thin another from tbe big guns Tying behind a. Frenecourt. To explain the tactics of Bat tine and the manner In whim they were foiled, I give a de scription of tbe ground. From Meti to Mezieres there Is a long trougli, with aflat bottom of alluvial, the margiuof me Mor-elle. Tbe tract is about four English miles wide. On tbe west It in bounded by heights, and near Mats by Norwy and Saolney; on the east It in hounded by a lower series of Muffs, on which stanj the viUagrs of Olgy and Malroy, but between them runs the Mooelle, Infringing considerably on the flat expanse Jut opposite Olgvt Aorom the bottom at the narrowest pxrt thus formed lies a series of villages, the two Tapes an l Stremey, with Mxa and Ladomchamfs respective1?, slightly to tho cvt and wei-t front, more or less. There were Prtt!iaa troops In all these planes. The depositions dt tilcd to me by the etatl ofhorrs had been substantially maintained. Bszaine had laid hi schemes with grftit art. Under cover of a dense fcg he bail in vie bit 1lpj. sttlons with such niroitnecs, that whc it l.rtil a little pat-t one o'clock they were already all but complete. In tho first instance In directed a strong asHsult on Ladomchamps. The l.tnd'vehr utvst held the place as if they were 10,010 luteal ef 10 1 men, and the French sect tbelr Infantry Bvrrming into ltt 'White spirt? of mcVe wpre visible all arfttind th vsly 6n tne 1lit front. The battel les at Senecourt were hr l at warV, and also others nearer the town, while tha f:reat guns at Frenecourt were sending shills at ow ranee, right over Lidomcharaps, In auion tha advancing Frenoh. Then on our left, at Ame loguoj two other b"tterl'S wtro tniiniaining a ssral crorrt fire, and from the btuft" on the olhar aid of the Moeello, between Olgy and Malroy, the Prus sian field artillery was roaring, Ihy attack on Lsdomcbareps wss a diversion. Suddenly the villages of Grande and Petite Etaps, of Stremy srd Alsxe, were overwhelmed by a cataract of Fitnch. Iho 59th landwehr In Rtremey wouldn't fall back, as It should have d no iu common pru lonoo, but stood up there In the slreet until tho French, having played upon It with their artillery and rained cbasFcpot and mitrailleuse bullets, and finally forced backward the shattered remnant by dint of sheer numbers. The fussilier battalion of the 68'h regiment occupied Grand? Etape. and It occuplt s that villsge now, but tbe ovnpntion con sists ot the dead and wounded. Tbe battalion would not givo ground, and may be said to have been annihilated as It stood, the men being with tlulr backs to the wall and their faces to the foe. Other battalions of the same regiment suS'ored terribly. So far Bazaine had succeeded. He h1 occupied the chain ot villages and had got batteries of artil lery out on their front to reply to the Prussian tire, but the statu quo had neither replied to nor could return, the Prussian artillery, throwing their pro jectiles from three sides of parallels. Interfered with tbe comfortable realization of the latter's con. ccption. As regarded the former, it seemed clear that Bazaine could not have done what he had if he bed not contemplated something mare. Thnt some thing. I have not tbe remotest doubt, was a sortie to establish connections with Thlonvtlln. His tactics were well conceived. From Stremey, and Grand aud Petite Etape he kept the Prussian line engaged with musketry and artillery, and sent forward from Grande Etape great swarms of tirailleurs, who fared very ill at the hands of the landwehr men, and besides this he moved a great body of rncD, nearly 30,000 In all, on the bank of thi Moselle, under cover of the houses of Maxe, and rent them forward to cut through the Prussian en vironment where It was weakest, close to the river. The moment was a critical one. The landwehr had all been sent forward against ti e villages, with tbe exception of one brigade, and that was in reserve; but the tenth army corps h.d been crossing a pontoon bridge and massing between tbe river and A melogue. There General Vrn Voight was In command of operations In the rear, and gave the order for several regiments to advance, a sight never to be forgotten. First came the fusiliers, extending at a rapid run into skirmishing order, and covering the whole plain with their lines. Then dense columns of gre nadiers, the bands playing and colors unfurled. Bnt all tbe work was not left for the Infantry. The artillery entered the village alone, and concen trated their fire on the French columns advancing along the Moselle. Bazaine Is singularly weak in field artillery, and the only reply came from the sullen sides of Mount St. Julian, or from tbe ramparts of Fort St. E lot, but the mitralleuses venomously sounded their angry whis, comoelling the skirmishers to recoil as they crossed the line of fire, and tearing the chasseurs in front of the solid masses, of which they were the forerunners. The artillery and skir mishers were enough for the French. The dense column staggered and then broke, but when they had once got stone and lime between them and the Prussians, the French were obstinate aud would go no farther. In vain tbe Prussian artillery tired on the village. Advancing closer and closer In alternate order of battalions, with a precision and rapidity that could not have been exceeded on parade; that obstinate battery In front of Grande Etape could not shut up, and the French Tiraelleurs still lined the chaussee and its front. By this time it was nearly four o'clock, and a staff officer galloped along the line with or ders for a general advance to take the villages by storm. The advance was to consist of four brigades of Landwehr, with two brigades of the 10th army corps supporting. In a few minutes more the command came ad vancing along the line and the men springing from their cover went forward with a steady, quick step. The shells from the battery in front of Grande Etape toietLrough the line, and mitrailleuse and ohasse pot bullets ponred against it their leaden hand, but still tbe landwehr, silent and stern, went steadily to the front. Gen. Wm. Brondersteen, command- li g the 3d brigade, was shot down, and several of nf stan wounaeo. At length the intrenchments were reached, be hind which were lying the shattered remnants of Ue 68th and 69th landwehr. The fraternisation consisted of aery of" Hurrah Preursen," and then "Vorwartz emmer Vorwartz," and thn the line thiew Itself to tbe front on a run. The French eats had barely time to run round a corner before the landwehr were upon them and the guns thev left perforce. In the villages the French mxdj a last stand, but It had been better for them had they rn away at nrst. 11 e landwehr, with leaof tbe conventional war' rlor in them than the line, were not so much In- cllitfd to give quarter as are professional soldiers, and with many Frenchmen, this afternoon, the firt-t shock consisted of the bayonet thrust. Thy fought like devtls, in the narrow ways of the vil lages, and used tne mitrailleuse witn ratr juig 'nient and effect: bnt then there came this steady, inexorable stride forward of landwehr, with tha bayonet, and the villager were cleared of all, save the victors and the dead and wounded. To the landwc-hr mui-t be conceded tbe honor of the fray. They It was who checked the right of the French advauce, by holding the villages until they had not a man who could stand and tire. Lomiom, Oct. 13 f Special to the New York World. A correspondent at Versailles says that Bismaick l as caused an intimation to be conveyed to lO n ilon, m. Petersburg and Vienna tuat inter vention to secure peace would be acceptable now to Prussia. The conclusion was reached by a oouncil of war yesterday that Paris cannot be suo- ccsstuuy attacked, nut must te reduced oy a stego of many months' duration. The advance of the Fiench army of Lyons upon Mats has been re sumed, aud rumors are current that the siege of tnat city has been raised. Tbe appeal or BismarcK has been met by Itussla with a proposition through Prince Orloff for mediation by a Congress of the great Poweia at Brussels. I.oBDoa, Oct. 13 Special to New York World. Bismarck has received representations from mauy Quarters of Germany that the people are auxlous ror peace, and be has authorized tne Prussian M lull-Ur at Brussels to give the great Powers to under stand that Prussia is willing to propose a settle ment on the basis of the disarmament of the fron tier provinces, tbe rectification of the frontier on tbe line of tbe Hhenlsh provinces, and a small money indemnification. At a stormy meeting of the British Cabinet the marquis oi nummgton aemtnaea intervention ror the integrity of French territory. Burnside returned to Versailles with a rent to Bismarck's Dronosition to allow the eleotions from Favre and other Ministers of tbe Kepublle, that t ranee would now devote herself to driving off the invaders, and would then attend to douiestiu artlra Burnside reports that Paris is trauquil and confi dent of success. Provisions are in supply, and the nre irom toe ror is inflicts neavy losses upon the Germans. Sickness prevails extensively among the uerniBiia ai versatile".

They are in great force at Chatoaudin, where a strong corps of the French army ha con gregated. The general expectation has been that a bat'le would take place thure to-day.

When the Prussians shelled Orleans, Bishop Pn psnlonp and the mayor of the city sought the Prussian commander, and requested a cessation of tbe shelling, as the town was open. Tbe attaok was successful, and st 7 P. M. the Prussians eutered Orleans and established batteries commanding the road. t It wonld seem to be the purpore of the Prussians to occupy Orleans for snmo time. A largs Orca of Prussians re-entered Tethlevers and treated the Inhabitants brutally yesterday. They then marched to Saulerre, twelve kilometres beyond Orlean, to ward Bids. At Sauterre 1500 cavalry made s requisition on the place.
