Lost night there was a another beautiful
display of the auroral lights. It began at
about six o'clock, and formed two arches
one (of the usual pale opaiiuo light) across
the northern horizon, and the other (of the
deepest crimson) across the middle sky, just
Eouth of the zenith. A remarkable feature
was the emission, as if from a separate aurora
from a point in the east, of pale spears of
light along the path of the crimson belt. The
aurora lost brilliancy soon after nine o'clock,
the northern arch alone remaining. About
midnight, however, the spears and nndula
tions of light again shot upward, and the
beautiful phenomenon was renewed, its colors
being brighter, but more delicate in tone.

ENGLAND 8 PEACE EFFOKTS OriNIONS OF FRENCH
NEWSFAPERS GAMBETTA AND TROCHO THE
OCCUPATION OF ORLEANS ALL QUIET AT PARIS
THE SOISSONS AFFAIR.
Tours, Oct. 24.
Some of the journals give particulars of the al
leged massacre of the French garrison which re
cently capitulated at Soissons. According to the
journals, the soldiers were all shot In th.) woods
near that city .butchered in cold blood. The Govern
ment has faith enough in the story to make it the
subject of an official inquiry, with a view to retalia
tion. A despatch from Rouen yesterday has the follow
ing : " At Ivry, in the department of Eure, the
entire population, men and women, have arisen
against the Prussians. A desperate struegle had
occurred there with heavy losses on both sides."
The Prussians are concentrating at elisors.
The following news is made publio by the mlnia-
The Prussians, while preparing to besiege La
Ferte St. Aubin, suddenly retreated, leaving be
hind all their utensils and quantities of stores.
They went toward Laon. It Is said a messenger
arrived in the German camp, and the Intelligence
he carried caused their sudden doparture.
it is also reported that the Prussians suffered de
feat with heavy loss at a point In the neighborhood
of La Ferte, and the troops were hastily withdrawn
to reinforce their beaten army.
News from Paris to the 18th inst. refers generally
to the preparations making for offensive move
ments on a large scale, but no particulars are given
for fear the intelligence may be of service to the
enemy.
Pourtalls, editor of La Verite, has been Impris
oned for publishing false news. It appears from an
explanatory letter In that paper that it was Cheva
lier Wyckoff who furnished notes for the report for
which Pourtalis was punished.
The Figaro gives details of the affair of Maguerlte
Bellanger, proving that she assumed the mater
nity of the child ot a great lady and the Emperor,
to calm the jealousy of the Empress, and that Mon
sieur Devienne was involved in the affair.
The publication of private documents found in
the Tuileries contain letters from Clement Duver
nois to Olivier, clearly establishing the liberal
views of the former, who makes the remark, while
urging reform, that France is enervated as a man
would be who drinks coffee and spirits without eat
ing substantial food.
Private as well as official accounts praise Gen.
Trochu for his good judgment and unremitting ac
tivity. His energy provides for everything. His
popularity is unbounded. Paris feels the utmost
confidence in his patriotism and ability.
The Journtl OJicicl says all parties accord praise
to Minister Gawbetta for what he has accom
plished, and adds: Since his arrival in Tours he
LaB organized armies, restored military discipline,
aroused the publio to the necessities and dangers
ot the situation, hastened armaments, settled ininy
dimensions, made judicious appointments, and
worked constantly, and a more confident tone is
noticeable in the journals and the publio in conse
quence of the manifest improvement of affairs
brought about by bis vigorous administration.
News has been received from Verdun that the
garrison made a sortie, in which thev drove the
enemy from some of their positions, killing many
and capturing two mortars and twenty-two can
non. Advices from the Invaded provinces show that
the Prussians continue to shoot Francs-tire urs who
Bksakcon, Oct. 23, via Tours, Oct. 24 General
Cambriel's dispatches to the government state that
the Prussians have agaiu attacked Chatillon-le-Duc,
where they were repulsed the day before.
At night they retreated. We hold the podition.
We have takeu many prisoners.
The bombardment of Schlettstadt commenced
Tuesday, the 18th. Some houses have beeu burned
in the town.
Toubs, Oct. 21.
La France newspaper says England was not soli
cited again by Franee, whose application sho at
lirst retused. France asks not for an armistice and
has not authorized England to ask for one. Since
the failure of Favre, France has thought only of
organizing for defence. Whatever motive she may
have, England must sea that we are determined,
the must notice the mustering of our Mobile
Guards and the spirit of Paris, Lyons and other
large cit es. As England now proposes an armis
tice, it must be because she understands that pro
petals will be made that we may accept.
'Ibe Steele more violently refuses to admit the
good intentions of England, and believes that she
Is acting salely for Prussia, who at last linds that
the has undertaken an impossible task. England
is advised to tell Prussia to make the most reason
able demands, else war a la ouii-o.net will be the
only result.
The Uatelttde France speaks to the same effect,
and the i nto has no confidence In the present
move of England.
It is reported here to-day, in explanation of the
visit of lioyer to the King of Prussia, thtt oilers of
peace wrre made to Iiazaine, and ho wd invite J to
send an emissary to Versailles.
People in official circles here dwell on the cir
cumstance that the present move of England fol
lows close upon the circular in which Birfiuarck
affects such concern lest the Parisians iuy sutler
the horror of famine, and theydclare France must
act with course and determination now; she must
accept no humiliating conditions.
Some apprehension is expressed by persons con
nected with the government here, that Paris will
refuse any peace the termn ot which do not provide
for the withdrawal of all Prussian from France.
Orleans is now occupied by 25,000 Prussians,
with sixty pieces of artillery. The enemy have
made fresh requisition on the city. The Govern
ment carefully avoids giving Information of the
French forces on the Loire, but it may be stated
that they are In motion, and the result will soon be
known.
Lonnoit, Oct. 24 At Luxemburg a permanent
committee has been constituted to defend the neu
trality of the Duchv. The population is Indignant
at the willingness of the Tours ovcriumnt 'o cede
the Duchy to Prussia instead ot Lorraine.
There are rumors here that conditions of peace
have been arranged between Marshal Bazatne and
King William, by which it Is stipulated that the
Empress Eugenie, who has given her consent, shall
goto Versailles and sign the treaty, as the repre
sentative of the only government recognized by
Prussia.
Lonnow, Oct. 24 Special Despatch to the New
York Herald. Kx-Oueen Christina of Spain and
her husband, the Duke ot Rtanzares, are in,Lonlon,
and have paid a visit to James Mac llewen. Princo
and Princess Murat and Princess Caroline are also
here.
It Is stated under good authority that the move
ment of England for an armistice was Induced by
apprehension of ulterior designs on the part of
Russia and Prussia to form a close alliance. The
fact that Russia is quietly and effectively arming
is well known defplte her clliclal denials,
t Krgland begins to see that the utter prostration
of France would deprive her of the only strong
ally to be depended on for tho frustration of Rus
sia's political scheme in the east. An uneasy feel
ing prevails in financial circles. It is anticipated
that should tho efforts of England fail, she will
adopt other stronger measures to secure a cessation
of the war.
London, Oct. 24 Special to the New York Tri
bune. There is authority for stating that the ne
gotiations thus far are proceeding satisfactorily.
Granville proposed a meeting between Thiers and
Bismarck, and both assented. Bismarck sent Thiers
safe conduct, but no basis has as yet been suggest
ed. Grsnvllle expresses himself gratified with the
manner in which his overtures have been received
at all hands by other neutral powers as well as by
the belligerents, but to-day, as yesterday, avoids
expressing any confidence of their success. Nothing
has been heard from Paris.
London, Oct. 24 Special to N. Y. World.l
Greevy, as spokesman of sixty noted Republicans,
made an appeal to Uambotta at Tours, on Friday,
in favor of poacc. He said: "We shall not bo
likely to obtain, a month hence, better terms than
are now extended to us. In a month hence thou
sands more will have perished; Franco will bo
completely ruined: it will be more difficult for her
to find auxiliaries in Europe, and we mast not de
ceive ourselves by supposing that an actual gov
ernment is at all likely to be recognized." This
appeal was received respectfully by the govern
ment, but produced not the slightest effect either
upon tho ministers or the public.
On the 20th the bombardment of Dijon began,
with no results of importance so far.
It is now generally announced in the German
camps that the bombardment of Paris is fixed to
begin the first of November; that 134 siege guns are
already with the army before Paris, and 20 more
were expected on the 20th. An or'er has been
issued from the German headquarters commanding
all German princeB and nobles who are hanging
about the army drawing pay and rations, and occu
pying quarters, to report for military duty at once
or go homo.
Brussels, Oct. 24. Although the truce at Me
zieres has expired, all was quiet there to-day.
St. Quektin, Oct. 24 This city was evacuated
yesterday. The siege of La Fere has been also
abandoned, the corps of the Duke of Mecklenburg
returning to Paris.
The mutiny among the Soissons prisoners re
sulted in bloodshed. Seven mobiles were killed and
three wounded.
