Thu - reclusion of responsible news ',agents from this contending armies is an arratigemen ,vbich, , doubtless, gives satisfaction to the corn :xnandbig generals, but it involves all the rest of the world in painful perplexity and doubt. _ It is netrlv impossible to obtain from the obscure and tontradictory — , despatches received from the .seat of war any very clear conception of the. recent battles in which the forces have bee engaged, or of the exact situation.of the; armies. As well as can be determined, however, the 'following statement contains a correct sum ,mary of the news : On the eastern side of Metz there were one or two deSperatO skirmishes on :Sunday and Monday, between the rear guard of the French, engaged in covering the retreat of the army over the Moselle, and the Prussian centre under General Steinmetz. In these con flicts the 'Prussians succeeded, after a- tierce struggle, forcing the French back into their entrenchments. In the meantime the Prussian right under Prince Frederick Charles crossed the Moselle north of Metz, flanked the French, and surprised them in the very act of crossing the river. An attempt was made by the Prince to throw his army between Metz and Verdun to cut off the retreat of the French to the.-latter place.. To prevent this Bazaine hurriedly withdrew from Metz, and succeeded in getting his whole army on the road to Ver -dun, before the Prussians came up iu force. It seems that there was no heavy fighting done at that time between these armies west of Metz,-but the Prussians were simply defeated in their design of intercepting Bazaine's re treat. • MacMahon appears to have abandoned Toul - and joined his forces with those of Ihizaine or to have gone to - Chalons. Our reason for. this belief is the fact that the Prussians are reported in force at - Conimercy; *a' town' twenty miles west.C..of.TotillaU-the railway to Paris; and at Bar-le-Duc, an importdnt town twenty miles further on the road to Paris. A part of the - Prussian army that crossed the Moselle a day or .two -ago -at Port-a-Mousson, is said, also, to be at Vjgnuelles, a village thirty miles northwest of Nancy,and only about thirty miles from Verdun. This would prove that MacMahon was threatened on both flanks. ,and was in danger of complete isolation from Ba zaine's army. lie has probably been com pelled to retreat precipitately from Toni to avoid capture or annihilation. The evidence, then, tends to prove that the whole of the army of the Crown Prince is across the Moselle and in the open country ly ing between the Meuse and the Moselle, and between Metz and Nancy. A glance at the map will give the reader a clear idea of this situation. The Prussian right, under Prince Frederick Charles, was, on Monday, across the 3Voselle, north of, and around Metz, while the centre, under General Steinmetz, is east of the Moselle and in front of Metz. We have, to-day, rumors of a battle fought in the neighborhood of Verdun. It is impossible to say positively, in view of the meagreness of the accounts, exactly where this _fight occurred, but from the news received by us this morning it is evident that the battle field was somewhere between Metz and Ver dun, probably nearer the latter place. The Prus sian force was the army of Frederick Chai les, which was for the first time brought into action. The effort seems again to have been to cut Bazaine off from Verdun. The French accounts say that the Prince was defeated, and was compelled to retreat to Commercy. This would bring the Prussian right and left together, changing the whole positi)n of the army and leaving Gen. Steinmetz at the right in front of Metz. We shall very likely find that 13azaine's victory did not induce him to stop his retreat. Be only defeated the attempt to interfere with Lis retrograde movement. Probably we may :bear Of Urn at Ve.rdun;forniing a new line. But as the united armies of the Crown Prince and his cousin hold the line of the Meuse river for at least some distance above Commerey, the French •may feel compelled to withdraw 'to Chalons and the river Marne. , Despite this reverse to the Pro ssian arms, we cannot give the French any credit for hav ing gained an.advantage ky their victory. Two thirds of the Prussian army are over the Mo selle and have undisputed possession of a large portion of the country to the Meuse, while the French are again in full retreat, outflanked, outgen.eraled and beaten. The Prussians have really v:on a victory, having driven the French clear back nom that position on the Moselle which was regarded as almost impregnable. We may hear next of an attempt on the part of the Prussians to throw the armies of the two Princes between Chalons and Verdun, and so cut off Bazaine's retreat to the former place. Examination of the map will show that they are precisely in a position to attempt that peril ous:feat With very good promise of success: Whether the risk Will nothe_tomgreatris'it-'se-- pious question, in view of the facts :hat there is an immense reserve force at Chalons, and that the Prussian line .of communication will be so much exposed that complete isolation and destruction might result. The Prussians may go a little too far into France in their eagerness to follow up their successes, without waiting for the arrival of their reserve army *hid) is said to have come already ,to the .THE PARISIAN VOLCANO. a fearful Ahing-to_conternplate the fact that any moment may now flash to us across - the 'Atlantie the news of the eruption of the vol cano Mit is-so evidently on the eve, of explo sion in Paris and thrOughout France. Ttle retirement of the 011iyier ministry and the cbange of military commanders were a " stip to Cerberus," a "tub to the whale," which di verted volatile, efl'ervescing France for the inoment,_and_tillayed the revolutionary tumult created by the-first-reverses -of the French arms. But the effect of these elianges has al- ready died away, and . the hot elements of French discontent are •bubbling and boiling with a ecinstatit'aggraiTatio - it over the continued disasters bf the Emperor. The feeling of hos tility toward Napoleon- grows daily more bit ter. The suppression.or meagre communica tion of news from the front-exasperates and alarms the people, and when the Ministry endeavors to allay the hungry demand. for news, the utmost that Count Palikao can give them is an assurance that the French armies, .have succeeded in continuing their retreat ; fighting - their way with that desperate - valor that belongs to them, back to their other • lines of defence, but, at the same time, back nearer to Paris. The stormy sessions of the Corps Legislatif all tend to heighten tho popular excitement. Deputies complain bit terly of the suppression of ale war news, - and the .Minister of War, in his guarded eply feeds the-flame by his 'significa.nt•declaration that I3azalne is " the only and true Comman -der-hFChief"--a slur .. .at the' Emperor,_ which proves that the France 'of to-day is Practically under the rule of the Legislature, and not un der that of Imperial 'power.. - Meantime; 'mobs assemble at a 'moment's warning in the streets of Paris, and.defend 'radical liepUblican orators , against the authorities, with maddened and bloody violence,While each day brings the omi nous proclamation of martial law in some new department of Trance. To-day we learn that Cherbourg, Brest, L'Orient, and Rochefort are declared in a state of siege, indicating that the yea . olutiftary lever which --has .broken out' ' hi the Sonar:and - South west of France haS rapidly spread up along the 'Eastern coast. France is 'indeed in a state / of volcanic ex citement, which the last news' from the front does not tend to allay. The.essential fact -in the popular . mind is *that Napoleon has been severely beaten and that- the utmost that he can boast is that he is able to continue a re treat. The " retreat" of the Prussians towards COmmerey'will belifiall comfort to the French people when they begin--to understand--that this is simply a grand concentration of the two wings of the enemy, undoubtedly to be fol lowed by another immediate and probably suc cessful-move upon-Farls. What the consequences are tote of the ex- , plosion of , this - French - volcano no sagatlty can clearly - foretell. Only one thing is. certain about it. It must destroy the Napoleonic dynasty. What it will set up in its stead can not be long hidden in the futnre. TWO HINDS OF MONOPOLY We learn from San Francisco that the Prin ters' Union, which arranged a strike some time ago, and threatened to break: upthe business of several newspapers unless the proprietors yielded to its demands, has suffered a defeat. Two of the papers held out, and with stieb sue -cess• -that the - printers - everywhere have come back to work at old pricesond the rides of the Union have been amended in a great many particulars, the principal one being that Union men are now allowed to work in offices where men who are not members of the Union are employed. The importance of this concession will be understood when we say that a printer who is a member of the Union in this city, for instance, cannot work in an (ace where out side printers are employed. Newspapers having Mon men cannot do the slightest favor for those not having them. They cannot say a word against the Union, or arrange their own prices. The combination controls the office in a great measure, and if it could, it would exclude from a chance toearn his bread every printer who does not give it his allegiance. An example of this is furnished by the case of the negro printer Douglass,in Washington; he was refused admission to the Union,and the Go vernment office was forbidden to employ him unless he was a member of the organization. We rejoice over the defeat of at least one of these combinations, simply because all of them are oppressive of free labor. A trade union which simply strives to advance the welfare of its members is worthy of commendation; but when it , undertakes to control and ruin the business of other men, and to decide that cot.- tain laborers shall have work and that certain others shall starve, it becomes an outrageous tyranny, which ought to be suppressed by any legitimate means. But it is a poor rule which will not wgrk both ways. This California conspiracy was defeated by the sturdiness and determination of two newspapers. One of them is engaged in a combination for the injury -of its rivals quite as bad, if not worse, than that which it has destroyed, it is partly the property of Mr. Si monton, of the Associated Press, and it has en joyed a partial monopoly of the news of that association to the exclusion of a large number of the other California papers. Its rivals are not permitted to buy the news, no matter how liberal their offers might be. The Associated Press deliberately selected this newspaper, and one or two other favorites, as the recipients of its favors, and strove to destroy the others, and give its business to its protege.. The gross ness of such an outrage was entirely manifest to Mr. Simonton when it was committed by printers against his property, but the of fence seems less obvious when Mr. Si monton is the criminal, and he makes money by the operation. We protest against any such monopoly, no matter whether it is attempted by trades' unions or the Associ ated Press. We believe in free labor and free news. We consider that the attempt to keep the negro Douglass from earning his bread, the refusal of the AsSociatedPress to soli news to Oeh - papers'an4he - Pri - st - cirthis city. and to the iournalS of California. and the action of- the Associated Press in cutting off from its list - of subscribers the Virginia paper which criticized its despatches, were equally acts of oppression and tyranny, which should receive the reprob a _ tion of every honest and just man. The de feat•of the Printers' Union in Washington and San Francisco will have' a good abet in begin ning the destruction of one monopoly, and the Am , 2ri+:4 - ol Press Association has already done PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST 17, 1870. . - mtle l .----and will still do vastly more—to destroy the other. • . The extent of the mischief done to Philadel phia trade by , the hiquirers sensational story - of the yellow fever at thei'LazirettO is begin ning to manifest itself. Our, coastwise vessels are being detained. in quarantine at, Southern ports, and the authorities of Southern cities are telegraphing to ; the Mayor of philadelphia to_ know just how , bad the-fever'is at this port; • Very opportunely, the Board ,'of Health pub , lishes its official contradiction Of these "false reports," stating that there S no yellow fever - at - a11;111 - 7 - Phliodelplfia; and -- thit'n6 ease has originated here during the present season. Even at the Lazaretto; where - there are a few. such cases during every quarantine season, there are but two cases, and these convales cent, and no new cases have occurred there for more than a fortnight'past..,v: But it is alWays easier to 'start a'sensational story than to stop it, and with the . New York papers eager to . seiZe upon anything to detract bitsiness from Philadelphia, and.with the cur rency which these alarmist reports have - already obtained at the South; we shall probably con tinue to bear, for months to come,, that the yellow 'fever is at Philadelphia. • • • The truth is .that, considering the total neglect -of our streets and alieys'by the Bbaril . of Health, Philadelphia is singularly healthy. The ordinary summer diseases of yforng children have been aggravated by the excessive heat, and the bills of mortality, have been un, usually large in consequence. >The relapsing fever never assumed a virulence which seriously threatened any but the filthy:Mad "Wret:Clied district in which it origiAted, and even there it has greatly abated, and, with ordinary atten tion from the Board of Health, will entirely dis appear.

If Philadelphia ever tlkovid_ be scourged again Wlth—the--terrible pestilence which ravaged her in old times, she will be very careful net to bring fresh material here from other sections to feed the destroyer. But when she is wholly free from, any sub calamity, it is an outrage that reports so lir imical to her- interests-should- be --paraded by sensational reporters in the columns of her daily press. The stories telegraphed to this country last evening of great reverses sustained by the _Prussi an-artn yl-NY it-h7a - 1 ()Ss:of - 714,00.0-merr---and a retreat, had greatly the air . of stock and gold jobbing operations. The Associated-Press pi pers give the - story, as do also the papers of the American Press Association, but with this im portant difference: that \While . the fernier leate their readers to believe the improbable report, the latter give the emphatie denial by the Prus sian 31ini.ster of War. of the whole - story. He acknowledges that the Prtissians failed to cut off the French retreat upon Verdun, and that they sustained several checks, but he distinctly denies the absurdly unlikely story that a re-' treating and demoralized army had crushed the . forces of their pursuers, as such a defeat as this gold-jobbing story ;inplies. If it is true that LQUIS Napoleon has taken to wandering round, In a dejected way, ex claiming, in "the accents of an unknown tongue," On ma coupe !" it is high time he was looked after. The wires may have twisted the imperial lament into this gibberish, and he may, possibly, only intend to remind huuself of the hard blows which the sturdy Germans are dealing at him at every accessible point. A careful examination of the utterance attributed to the unhappy Emperor suggests that this is the idea he is striving to express, bet "On em covpe!" does not sound quite up to the average Napoleonic maxims, either in grammar or originality.

LONDON, Aug. 17, Noon.—The Times con tinues to assail the Emperor Napoleon' for what it terms his evil ambition in precipitating the conflict with Prussia. Its article, this morning, is a chronic attack upon the Empe ror. France is quivering with emotion, and passionately condemns the actual regirn ias decisively as it protests against foreign inva sion. The justification of the Empire passes away with the destruction of dynastic peach and supremacy abroad. The Empire thus becomes an accident, to be treato_a as o f no account, unless to be rejettOd as an outrage. The Times also declams that it is the duty of the English Minister, at the first possible mo ment, to discover the common term between the belligerents, and exact the tenor of the pretensions of both. Having thus ascertained the nature of the issuca involved in the dispute between the two powers now engaged in an armed fray, the next and immediate step of the English Embassadors should be to make proper offers of mediation to the sovereigns of both countries, and cautiously bring them to an agreement neither precipitate, immature nor ephemeral. The French Claim a Victory. PARIS, August 17.—Count Palikao, the French Minister of War, has received official intelligence from the army, dated at head quarters, 11 o'clock yesterday; stating „that the army was in excellent condition, and con tinued to execute combined movements, after a brilliant engagement on Sunday evening. Two divisions of tee Prussian army, which had been endeavoring to harass the French on their march, were ' sud denly surprised by the French rear guard, - which, by a brilliantly executed retro grade movement, turned upon the pursuing Prussians and repulsed them, effectually checking their advance. The pursuit was de layed,and the harassed corps effected a com bination with the main body of the French on the Moselle.

MURDER I2S CLE ELD COU N Y Dead Body of a Miner Found The Philipsburg Journal says that the body of a murdered man, a miner, named Michael Crayton, was discovered in the rear of a wood shed; at Houtzdale, Clearfield county, about four miles from Osceola, on Saturday after noon. He is supposed to hare been murdered on Friday night and dragged to the spot where he was found. The body bore marks of terri ble blows with a club or some other blunt, heavy instrument, as the skull was crushed and the bones of the chest broken. Coroner Rogers, of Osceola, held an inquest on the body on Sunday, the jury returning a verdict of death at the bands of some person Or persons unknown. The object of the deed is unknown, but it is sup posed that he was killed in a quarrel with some fellow-miners, as a family living coutigu ous to his boarding-house are said to have heard a scuttle in an ,adjoining alley on the night of the murder. - However, the murdered man is said, by those who knew him, to have been a peaceable, well-disposed person. The perpetrators of the crime have not been dis covered, and, as far as we can learn, no at tempt to ferret them out has been made. It may be possible that if this case was prose cuted vigorously and the . offenders brought to justice, it might tend to repress the licentious ness of that locality. It is to be hoped a vigor ous search will be instituted, and condign punishment visited upon the murderers, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Philadelphia Stoc FIRtiT 6000 City 6e now 11560 do Its 101.5 . 6 1000 Pen &NYCI 7s 9'2'4 1000 l's 6eWnr tai en 103 300 Cne&Arninos'B9 Is 96 200 ali Sell Nv titi 'B2 72 1900 Letiieli 6e '97 8104 4000 Lehigh Con Ln 7036 2000 l'enn COll 111)0 cp 953.; 90 eh Penn 11 Its 68,.; 400 Fin do trail ite 514 7900 City & BETWI3I{ new 101 1 :, Cam&An4 Ge 933 G 14 el) Penn It E9O O 1 9 109 City 63 Now 6 101 ' 300 Cit.,' 5 9'' '72 92 8000 .do its . 1001: . - 6 , 511 Ilk of -NA - 2—'-'6.'

J Tt . E.;PAY, Aug. street is still exercised over the problem involved in the relation of the present war to American finances. It has been noticed before here that the popular theory', and the one generally acted is that the Prussian successes mean cheap gold and French successes the reverse. This idea is founded likewise upon the assumption, ettiriallY popular and un reliable, that Prussia', successes mean an early peace. In support of this theory is the move ment in British consols, which, seeming to take peace as their only beats of appreciation, fluctuate with the Its elicat sensitiveness with every report from the field of conflict. Against these theorists are a large class who believe Europe's difficulty is America's Op portunity to make money. They hold that a continu ance of the war means a large demand for American securities( to leave out of consideration breadstuffs" as the safest and best investment that can be found, and, consequently, with the appreciation of our credit, a decline in gold. Singularly, however, these are not a Mina in i;,,; face of peace prospects, to operate h Pon Ale logical reverse of their assumption, and buy gold on the certainty of its going up. Others, with much shrewdness, hold that a financial dis - t j turbance in one country cannot occur without a corres ponding effect in all others having business relations therewith ; that the money centres of the world are now in such close sympathy, and the alliances of trade so complex and extended,that financial distresS in one can not mean prosperity for any other; hence, that when monetary disturbances occur in one all feel the shock. Can it be wondered at, therefore, in view of this great puzzle, that dullness prevails, and that men as much as possible avoid engaging in operations the result of which is dependent upon events wholly impossible to be anticipated, and which, even if forefeet" are capable of such different results Tiffs has been without exception one of the dulldst days this summer. Of course much may be attributed to the absence of a very great number of leading operators, who are studying nature or playing faro at the various summer resorts. This, however, is not an unusual cir cumstance, and may be expected every year, as they say in the almanacs, " about this time.' Owing to the exciting effect of the war, gold has sus tained an interest among dealers longer than other, speretsites ni jeers in the uncertainty now prevailing, not alone as to the precise situation of the belligerents, but the particular interest the Gold Room has in either, even it has ceased to afford much oppor tunity formoney making or develop any but the most indifferent. results. Thus to-day the extreme range of the premium was one-half per cent .—from Halt . to 117,'.5. The market towards the close was strong, upon reports that the engagements for to-morrow's steamer were - - over 61,000,0 en and a decline in British console. The money market w orked easily throughout the day at rates ranging from three to five per cent., the supply of currrencs seeking accommodation continuing to be in excess of the demand. After banking hours there was a little better inquiry, and four per cent. was readily paid, with none offering below that figure.

It appears that the French Minister forced hiniseLf repeatedly tint . persistently upon the King after the latter had informed him that he had not been consultedin the mat ter in question as King,and was exercising no influence in its favor. The King promptly communicated the first intimation he received of the withdraival - of acceptance to Benedetti, and subsequently sent him the official notice received of - such withdrawal. With this the King supposed the Matter settled, when he was surprised to receive a verbal notice from the 'rench Ambassa_ dor that his Government demanded a pledge from the King that he would never countenance .an,y_renewat of _a similar propo sition. The King declined to consider this question or to see the "MiniSter - in - relation to it. From first to last Benedetti only commu nicated with the King verbally, and did not attempt to do any business through the regular ministerial channels. The first writing the King received was the declaration of war. I By the American PrespAaeociationj Naval Orders. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Ordered—Master Ed, C.

A NEW MOVEMENT IN CUBA Will De Hodas Declare Himself Dictator of the Island—His Preparations to Turn Traitor. HAVANA, Aug. 9.—lt has been time and again said that either De Rodas would be driven away from the island by the volun teers, or he would succumb to their influences. Long and bravely he fought them, but for the future he is not only for them, but is one of them. He is soon to put on the uniform of a volunteer, and to stand on guard au hour as a common soldier, in token of his accession to their ranks. The bargain has been consum mated, and it is one dangerous to Spanish power in America. Never again will the decrees obnoxious to the volunteers or their friends,-which may be sent out from Madrid-, be executed, but be thrust -aside under the plea that such orders cannot be carried into effect against the wish of the volunteers with out manifest damage to the public interest. Among the obnoxious decrees which the Home Government has ordered to be enforced is the recent enactment of the Cortes declar ing emancipation. He Rodas has declined, in the interest of the volunteers, to proclaim it. He has also refused to make any return of confiscated property or to take any steps, as ordered, for the suppression of political clubs or casinos. He might urge something in favor of the prolongation of emancipation, such as that the enforcement of the law would make all the Spanish 'residents enemies of Spain, but no pretence of an excuse can be offered for the failure to pay over the proceeds of the confiscated property, or to suppress the polit ical clubs. If ordered again, as is probable, by the Regent's Government to carry out the programme, it is quite evident that ho will refuse, the reason being that, aka - volunteer, he can only carry out the behests of- his com panions in arms. The alliance with the Volunteers seems therefore but a preliminary to the contem plated treason to Spain. It the attempt I,e made to displace him it is almost certain that he will plant himself at the head of the volun teers and Spanish residents in the island, and hid defiance to the Regent's government. Should this conflict actually arise, and the island be declared free by tho volunteers, His Excellency could, as a matter of coin-80,1)o the Chief of State, whether as a monarch, a dic tator, or President.

Ctsetyrrart, Aug. 17.—En discussing the resolution introduced yesterday, urging set tlers on the Kansas neutral lands to strike for their rights and resist the railroad monopolies, quite a breeze was stirred up. Mr. Cameron denounced Grant for sending troops to support the claims of the railway company in Kansas, and said the scheme was coucocted in the Senate, with the knowledge of tho President. The resolution was carried amid confusion. Mr. McLean, or Boston, offered a series - of resolutions accredited to Wendell Phillips, which declare in favor of sustaining the national credit, claim the right to form pro tective associations, deny the intention of controlling apprenticeship, welcome every race and creed to the country, but deny the right of capitalists to import labor for the purpose of lessening wages and degrading labor; that the adoption ot the eight-hour law is the first practical step in labor reform; that the donation of public lands to other than settlers is robbery of the laboring men, and will justify the party, whenever they shall obtain contra] of the government, in setting aside all grants made after the date of the proclamation to that effect. It stated firmly that the times are ripe for the formation of another political party. The resolutions were referred.
