Yesterday the cable despatches asserted positively that Bazaine had withdrawn the mass of his army from Metz by way of Thionville, and then •in a northwesterly direction to Mezieres or Montmedy. It was considered certain then, that he would ascend the valley of the Aisne river from this position, and join ing MacMahon's army, make a stand in front of Chalons. This Morning this news is re affirmed in one - despatch and - contradieted - -in several others. The latter says that Bazairie remains in the _vicinity of Metz; and_ merely controls the line of communication by way of Thionville and Mezieres. We learn from the same authority that MacMahon is moving rapidly to the support of Bazaine, by thisroute, and a junction of the two armies near Metz may be expected very soon. Which of these entirely contradictory statements is correct it is quite impossible to determine. We can only say to the reader as the showman said to the spectator when he asked if a certain animal was a chimpanzee or a wild_man of the moun tains, " you pays your money and you takes your choice." - It may be urged, however, that there are several practical reasons why the latter story is doubtful. If MacMahon joins Bazaine, at Metz, the only result will be the reinforcement of the French armthe maintenance of a circuit ous and hardly rotee . ted line of communica yeti Lions. Bazaine would still occupy his old dis advantageous position, with a powerful army ietween-him and Parisrand - withno:chance - o ' retreat excepting upon the are'of a 'circle along the chord of which the Prussians could move andintercepthinaT — lrtticstriry - 18 - true; STS6, - MacMalion's withdrawal to the assistance of Bazaine-would-uncover Chalons, and leave no important-body of Fiala troops between the Prussian army in front of Metz and the fortifi cations of Paris. The, situation then would be, that two immense forces of Prussians, the' _main. army before Metz and the independent body of the Crown Prince, would occupy all the territory between Metz and Paris, unless, in deed, MacMahon left a small, insignificant force in the camp at Chalons. We know that the Crown Prince is in the vicinity of the latter place, and that he has a splendid army, which has not been engaged since the battle at Woerth. One report says that this force has been withdrawn to reinforce the main body; but this is at least doubtful. Even if such were the case, and - Bazaine remained at Metz, he would still ,occupy a very dangerous posi tion. We know that he fought desperately during the whole of last week to get away from Metz and secure retreat to Paris by way of Verdun. Be would hardly be likely then to remain satisfied in the position he was forced to occupy, while any means of escape is open to him. Metz is of no importance what ever in presence of the fact that Paris is uncovered. As we can only theorize in the absence of definite information, we may suggest as a pos sible explanation of the situation that Bazaine really has withdrawn from Metz, arid now occupies a position along his line of communi cation—say from Biiey to Montmedy, or from Etain to Vouzieres, a line stretching from east to west and facing south. Of course this would only be preliminary to a movement southward with the design of - fronting east— perhaps in the vicinity of Chalons. or maybe nearer Paris. The only hope of success seems to lie in Bazine's ability to interpose his force between the Prussians and the capital. We believe he will make a strenuous effort to do this without any more fighting; and the only way in which it can be accomplished is to 'withdraw to the northwest and then ascend the valley of the Aisne or of the Marne. Both armies are too much exhausted to begin an other series of engagements until they have been reinforced heavily. MacMahon's duty, if he has reached Bazaine, will probably be to help him change his position; while upon the Crown Prince, if he is on the ground, will devolve the labor of following the movements of the enemy and of harrassing him whenever an opportunity offers. THE CUBAN INSUBBECTION. The .Cuban papers in this country have just made a stiasmodic glorification over a series of alleged Cuban successes, reported via Jamaica, in which it was asserted that the Spanish troops bad suffered very severe losses. But for the pre-occupation of the public mind with European affairs, these reports would have attracted considerable interest, and Cuban stock would have taken quite a buoyant tone. It is just as well that it did not, for the later official repoits direct from Havana show that the Spanish troops are crushing out the insur gent fume with a summary savageness which looks as if it was taking advantage of the Franco-Prussian diversion of the world's at tention to close up the Cuban insurrection by a wholesa l e slaughter. The Guceia publishes the officialdintelligence• of the butchering of a number of Cuban oft k,ers of high rank, including General Pedro yiguerdo, ASsistant Secretary of War, General. Roderigo Taymayo, General Pearalta, Colonel 3tiarno, Colonel Fernandez, and other officers, with a considerable number of men. Th e Spaniards are evidently carrying on the work of extermination, with a total , disregard of all the ruleS of civilized warfare, taking no prison ers, except general officers, who . are executed with little or no form of military law:: The wholesale slaughter of the general officers of the Insurgents, if it occurred in battle, would BULLETIN. All through the summer there has been a great amount of work going on, all along the principal streets of Philadelphia, and the ab sentee population returning home will find the cobble-stones in better condition than they have been in for years past. This work has been done by the various railroad companies, instigated thereto by the vigorous action of the Citizens' Association. The ruts and hills and hollows which made driving and hauling over. . the principal streets such a desperate business, have been filled up and levelled down, so that, considering that it is still that horrible nuisance, a cobble-stone pavement, the surface of many of the streets is almost respectable. But while the railroad companies have thus been busy, all summer, in the good work of putting the streets in somewhat better order, it is equally true that; in another and equally important sense, there has beena grievous and unpardonable neglect of the streets during all this same period. It is almost literally true that the Board of Health has done no work at all upon the streets of Philadelphia dur ing the last three months. Through all the fearful heat of the season now nearly past; io - altemprlias been Made to eleari• the streets; so far as our somewhat gen,eral observation has extended. The citizens who are compelled to spend the summer in the city have been subjected to all the annoyance and discomfort and danger of filthy gutters, whose, stagnant corruption is an outrage upon the senses, of reeking sewers whose pestilent miasmas load the evening air with their offen sive odors, of public highways strewn with dirt and kitchen garbage, the whole condition of the streets proclaiming the criminal neglect of contractorsrand the wasteful extraVaganee and culpable.failure of duty of the Board of Health. Thousands of dollars of the public money have been'paid out by the Board of Health ':,o these men, who prey upon the city treasury for work which they scarcely pretend to have done, and most of which they have made no sign of doing. Is it not high time that this state of things were broken up? Have there not been thou sands enough wasted upon the miserable sys tem which produces such disgraceful results:' —Snrely-tbere-is-some-power-behind—the-Board of Health which' can compel that body to giv an account of its stewardship. It has-the power to make contracts and to call upon the city to pay for_ them. But there must be a power with :Councils, who provide and appropriate these wasted thousands of dollars, to exact a ompliance with the contracts before the money ay safely be asserted, without fear o eessful contradiction, that not a sin gle one of the present street contracts has been complied with, in letter or in spirit. It is time _ this expensive farce was ended.- And we know no better work that the Citizens' As sociation can take up, than the ,work of a thorough investigation into, and exposure of the condition of the streets of Phila delphia in regard to cleanliness. The ex cellent results which have followed this line of procedure in the case of the railway com panies, give every reason to believe that a simi lar dealing with the Board of Health will pre duce equally . good results, Let the inspectors of the Citizens' Association make a thorough survey of the streets, with an eye to their filthy condition, as they did when they took up the condition of the pavements. And then let the Association make a similar public exposure of what their Inspectors have seen, asking the in tervention of the Courts to restrain the Board of Health from paying out money for work which is not done. be a legitimate method of bringing the • insur rection to a speedy termination. But these butcheries in cold blood which have marked this struggle on both sides, only indicate the ferocious instincts of the contending races, while they provoke fresh retaliations, and ex cite the fresh disgust of the civilized world. THE STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA. Such a course as this will produce one of two results: It will either force the Board of Health to re-organize its whole system of dealing with these street contracts, or it will induce the pres ent Board to resign, and give the Courts an opportunity to try whether new brooms in that department of the City Government will not sweep cleaner. We know of no work in which the Citizens' Association could more properly or more use fully exert itself. It is au independent body of citizens, having no end to serve but the public good. Its management is in the hands of gen tlemen who are known and respected through out this community. And if it can succeed either hi rousing or routing the Board of Health it will confer even a greater benefit upon the community than when it waked up the Board of Presidents to the necessity of "put ting their house in order." HIJMILIATION Just after Archbishop Purcell's intimation that__ he has accepted the -dogma -of-Papal infallibility, despite his conviction of its folly, we have information that 'Cardinal Prince Schwarzenburg, Cardinal Rauscher and other dissenting prelates, have sent to the Pope their adhesion to the dogma of infallibility. The two Cardinals we have nameil were among the most prominent and powerful of the members of the Council who opposed the promulgation of the dogma. They wrote and spoke against the scheme with boldness, eloquence and some. times even with intense bitterness. Cardinal Rauscher issued a pamphlet proving that the success of the Jesuits in this matter would in flict irreparable injury upon the Church; and in a speech before the assembled fathers lie proclaimed the same sentiments and accompa nied them wit overp wering arguments. He discussed the su ect hiefly from a social point of view, and demonstrated that Papal infalli bility would entail the overthrow of all the ex isting relations between modern States and the church of Rome. His prophecy bas already been partially fulfilled notably in the cases of France, Italy, Austria,' which has broken the cOricordat, Bavaria, Spain, Russia, ant], we mistake not, Prussia, cardinal Prinee.SchtVarvenburg, of Austria, in denOiniCing the dogma titied..the following strong language; "He who exalts himself shall be abased. In the days of Boniface VIII. the papacy sought to raise itself above all civil authorities and it has been miserably degraded as a temporal power. At the present time it seeks to set itself above every other spiritual power ; it will be spiritually cast dawn, creating at the same time an abyss between the Church and Boeiety.! • At mother time ' e Cardinal .said, "All PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20870. religion is at an end in Bohemia if this defi nition is of - And yet in the face of these assertions, in violence to what we know 'to bo their deep conscientious convictions, in defiance of their own fulfilled prophecies anti their incontrovertible argumentS, these • two liberal and powerful men have submitted to the voice of the slavish majority and have accepted the dogma with the understanding that they are to instruct their , people to accept it and believe it as a , necessary part of their religion! It is impossible to contemplate such a spectacle without a teeling of ,pity for the victims, who were not strong enough to follow the dictates of their own reason and their own consciences in defiance of the will of a majority of their less enlightened colleagues. We cannot hope that any benefit will accrue to the Church' from the promulgation of a dogma which thus humiliates its ablest members by violating their consciences and compelling them to teach what they believe to be error. The revenue officers yesterday broke up an illicit distillery in the southeastern part. of the city, which is said to have been broken up four or five times, the lawless business being re sumed, again and again, in flagrant defiance of the efforts of the Gov,ernment officers to sup pressit. In the effort to arrest the guilty par ties, the officers were assailed by an angry mob, beaten and bustled until' one of their . prisoners escaped, and the other only secured after .desperate fight. A guard of marines was required to protect the officers in convex_ ing their first prisoner and those whom they arrested for aiding the rescue before the United States Commissioner. After the preliminary hearing, - before - Ribler, which clearly established the outrageous and lawless conduct of the 'Effinger gang and their accom plices,the whole party were admitted to a moder ate bail,which was given by one Charles Moore. on the charge of rescuing prisoners; and then one of the accused rioters was allowed to gicc bail for his brother on the charge of illicit did tilling. We trust that Judge Cadivalader will have the opportunity of making an early and Sum mary disposition of these cases. This outlawry which persists in this illicit trade in the meanest and worst poison, and which then incites to mobs snit riots, threatening the lives of the officers of the law, and bringing the law itself into contempt, needs to be crushed out by the heaviest visitations of the penalties of outraged Justice. We are glad to see that the. Republican State Central-Committee-has-not-acted as published 3 re.l3,Orts indicated, in the case of the nomination in the Second Congressional District. It now -appears-thatlhe Committee-- took- -a --perfectly correct course in the matter, refusing to take the case up, and referring the question of its jurisdiction in such cases - to a sub-committee, which committee has, as yet, taken no action in the matter. This is creditable to the State Central Committee, as a proper recognition of the action of the City Executive Committee, and a practical intimation of its intention to act in entire harmony and accord with_ the local committees of the State. `Bunting", Durborow 4IL , Co., Auctioneers, Nos. 232 and 234 Market street, will hold on to-morxow Thursday), August 25. commencing at 10 o'clockvir large and important sale of Foreign and Dbmestic Dry - Goods, on four months' credit, including 225 packages Domes t. , cs, Blankets, ..tc. ; 450 pieces Cloths, Casaimeres, Doe. skins, Beavers, Chinchillas, Skirtings, Italians, Satin de Chines, tr. ; also, Velvets, Velveteens ; housekeeping, tailoring and shirting Linens; L.

Disturbances In the Corps Leals Imperial Decree. LONDON, Aug. 24.—Telegrunq from—Paris announce that a grave disturbance occurred yesterday in the Corps Legisl<itif, the sessions of which were attended with vehement denunci ations, tumult and rancorous debate. The occasion of the disturbance were the reading of the proposition of M. Keratry re lative to the formation of the Committee of Defence. The greatest uproar and contusion was pro voked on the presentation of the proposal. Immediately the Deputies on both sides of the Chamber arose and vehemently com menced stating their views and dislikes. The members of the Left persisted in accu sing the majority with having caused the war by their aggravating course in sustaining the Ministry in the Hohenzollern matter, and by other needless acts of incitement. The mem bers of the majority denied the accusations of provoking the conflict. The entire Chamber was in a fearful dis order,w hen the President arose and terminated the session The sitting was ended tumultuously and the reporters were ordered to leave. The Demands of the Left Granted. The :Joirnal Officiel, to-day, contains an Im perial decree adding to the Committee of Defence, as already constituted, the names of Deputies----Thiers,----T-alhouet,--: Dupuis and Delorme,and Senators.Malinet and Behicas,as representatives of the Legislative body and the Senate. Prospects of a Mediation. PARIS via LONDON, August 24.—At the Foreign Office everything remains quiet. There are several informal conferences among the different diplonmtists, but no mention of any peace overtures, as the English papers report. All that is known here is that Count Von Bismarck indirectly sent information to Prince La Tour D'Auvergne stating that Prussia would only conclude peace upon a basis which will make. it imnossible for France to think of future revenge. Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, Minister of the Marine,at the session of the Corps Legisla tif,ivas reticent equally as the rest of the Gov ernment officials.

The altered aspect of the war news withdrawing from the market that opposition to a rise which was offered by the German bankers during the receipt of despatches, favorable to Prussia, the feeling in the room, based upon various theories, appeared to be all on one Bide, and the advance was Steady through Out the day with only slight fluctuation, the highest figure -of tile. premium being reached at the clear} of: business. The . influences operating to this were first, no doubt, the change in the military situation. The constant and it appeared un interrupted successes ofthe Prussians had become so identified with a falling premium that it was a natural 'result that their first reverses should be oppositely op. plied._, Into this thmreporta,froui _Loud on of the state of the bond Market there 'helped this conclusion. The first price there represented bonds to be eV,. Later the noon quotation was reported S 3 Ssls and the price at the close Saab!(. Comets showed fractional decline in the middle of the day from their opening figure, going oaf from 91 ' , W31nti21.4 , 19135, which, it was supposed; -Indicats d the same feeling in England in respect to the w.ir 11,1, sas prevailed here. In the afternoon, howee , r, these recovered and closed steady_ at the first figures. A - further influence operating to advance the premium as as the circulation of a report, which obtained conside rable credence livatie room, that a pool had been formed for that purpose, and that already large sums bad been bought with the object of making a squeeze. This report could not be tract to any source whence further particulars could ba uh mined., and although the scheme is possible it is quite as probable that the suspicion originated in the fa, or• able opportunity which the recent heavy lose of specie on the part of the banks and the continued drain for ex ports affords now for carrying it out. Besides. It is doubtless recollected that about this time last year originated the conspiracy wind) resulted in the famous Septemher gold corner, and the fear of history repeating itself may be in the minds of many of the sufferers by that incident, especially as its chief promoters still move in the same sphere, more ad mired for their cleverness than reprobated for the rule they brought about. A more reasonable solution of the change in the condition of the market is tO be found In the large outstanding short interest, .which_, notwithstanding the purchases of yesterday, caused a demand this morning for cash geld, the loaning rates ranging from 1 and 2 per cent. for carrying to flat and 1 and 2 per Cent. for borrowing. It would not need much prudence to prevent one going short of gold on the eve of such a great battle as is now impending, especially considering how iniperfet is our knowledge of the condition of the opposing armies, nor would it be considered over-caution for one who was short to cover at such time. In view of these facts it would seem as though there were quite enough in the natural causes operating upon the market to bring about the advance of to-day, after all less thin one per cent., without a dreaded corner," which it Is sincerely hoped for the honor of Wall street may, in this instance, turn out to be a moth. One such holocaust as that of the Black Friday a year ago ought .lo satisfy the moat devoted-worshipper of alma mon . The government market was wholly without interest today. Transactions continue to be on a very limited scale, and prices without important change. It is an nounced front Washington that the government will commence the payment of the interest on the September coupons on ?dot day without rebate. The amount to be disbursed is about 64,000.000. The money market is quiet and remains at the rates last quoted, 5 per cent, being the ruling figure on call. with exceptions at 4 and 6 per cent. ou government and stocks respectively. There was very little shifting of loans toelay,and money in most cases in goad collateral was suffered to lie over.

Macffation and Bazalne are now ready to assume the offensive, and it is expected they will immediately attack the Prussians together.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The Paris corres pondent of the Ccurrier des Etats-Unis tele graphs to-day as follows; The bprightly element of the Parisian peo ple accommodates itself with difficulty to the reign of .silence which the Ministry imposes on us. So many blunders were committed in the opening of this war that it is feared this change in the nolicy of Count Palikao only conceals Some NOW /Mistake. It would be easy to dissipate this impres sion, but it would not be right, and no one 'wishes to do it I saw to-day part of a despatch from Ba zaine, which the Minister of War communi cated to the Corps Legislatif. It was couched in general terms, but it could never have come from a conquered man or one doubtful of success. Bazaine wished to leave Metz, but he was not able. On his side, the enemy in return wished to seize and cut his communications with Paris, nor did he succeed any better. This is in two words the situation and expla nation of the recent engagements. We have sustained severe and heaVy losses; it is said, but those of the enemy have been enormous and out of all proportion to the merely nega tiveadvantage which he has gained. It is difficult to obtain accurate news of what has taken place at Chalons or in the neighborhood. At the War Department they peremptorily refuse to say anything on the subject, but some papers, the Patrie and Presse r among others, announce that the corps of MacMahon and Failly have succeeded in reaching Argonneg, and by a.liank mardliTrotti that place will effect a junction with Bazaine . 1 believe some of the troops lately encamped at Chalons have gone thither, but I can affirm nothing certainly. I am assured that the Prwian Prince Royal has given over his direct march on Paris, and that he waits for the Prussian army before Metz to deliver a great battle. Other de spatches say that he is at Bar-le-Duc. Everything from that direction is confused, and believe that these reports are put iu circulation by the enemy to make the Paris ians believe that all immediate dancer has been dispelled, and to calm their patriotic ardor to place the capital in a state of de fence.
