Tuesday, Augleast, 30,.1870. TITE PRUSSIAN CIIANGE OF FRONT. Although there ate some inconsistencies and contradictions in the despatches from the seat of war last night, we are able to obtain from them a tolerably clear view of the situation of the contending armies. At the village - of Stehay, in the department of the Meuse, four important roads meet, leading east and west to Idontmedy and Vouzieres, and nearly north and south to Verdun and Sedan. The line of MacMahon's army seems to have reached ori ginally from Mezheres to Montmedy, with the centre at Stenay. On Saturday and Sunday MacMahon made vigorous -demonstrations from Stenay upon the road to Verdun, Possibly for the purpose of penetrating the Prussian force and:reaching Bazaine, 'who occupies a position directly southeast of Stenay, be tween Etain and Metz. The Prussians held, and continue to hold the village of Dun upon this road, and they-have devoted all their ener gies to defeat the French attempt to obtain pos session of it, conscious that MacMahon's suc cess at this point would release Bazaine. the conflict, MacMahon advanced his whole line, and he now occupies a position with his left resting upon Steamy, and his right in the vicin ity of Bethel, a few miles northeast of Rheims; his - line - OfCommunication, meantime; being open in his rear through Mezieres. Along this line reinforcements to the extent of 60,000 men have been hurried from Paris. This Posi tion threatened the flank of the Prussian army which was advancing on Paris, and it men aced also the force which surrounded Razine. Maellahon's movement was intended in part as a diversion in favor of Paris, and it was of such an important character-that it seems to have accomplished this purpose, • and to have commanded the attention of the advancing army. If the reports which have been re ceived tell the - truth, the Prussian line which faced west and reached north and south, say from Rheims nearly to Troyes, has been swung around so that it is perpendicular to its former position. Troops-have been --marched northward until the-present Prussian line ex tends from Longuion west through-Dun, Va rennes, Sompuis and -Rheims. At the latter place ' the main body of the army of the Crown Prince has -been massed in great force, while a vast army of re , - inforcemeuts has been collected south of the Strasbourg railway from Chalons- to St. Dizier. This latter body appears to be a portion of the army which was advancing on Paris. It is now in the rear of the Prussian line, which faces north, and doubtless it will be moved up to support that line more closely. --Examination of a map will make this situation perfectly dear to the reader, who must remember that the left flank of the Prussians is now turned toward Parip - ; that Maclfgfon's left - Is -at -_Steria while Bazaine is between Metz and Etain, with Prussians between him and Mae- Mahon, and apparently on every other side of him. We cannot learn from the reports., positively, whether the advance on Paris has \ceased al together or not. It may be that the Cro vn Prince and Prince Frederick Charles feel them_ selves competent to take care of MacMahon and Bazaine, while General Steinmetz and the King, heavily reinforced as they have been push on to the capital. The indications, how ever, are that the attention of the whole army is turned to the destruction of MacMalrw. shall not be surprised to hear that an at tempt has been made by the Crown Prince at Rheims to move northward in heavy force, to attack MacMahon's right flank at Rethel, and to sever his communications by of Mezieres. The successful accom plishrnent of such a feat is not in ire improbable '. than the 'events . • which , isolated Bazaine; for the Prussians occupy a position favorable to such a in in ceuvre, and they have a forcer:nu& larger than that of AlacMalion. An attempt at such a movement may compel MacMahon to leave his position and withdraw to Paris, or it may in spire him with fresh determination to cut his way through to Bazaine at any sacrifice. In either case he seems to have the worst of the situation, and to be operating at a perpetual , ,disadvantage. There will besorm.heavy fight ingin this direction within_a very rely hour.s, and we will easily ascertain from the locality of the battlefield what are the intentions of the French Marshal. Meantime the brilliancy of his strategic movements of which such a boast has been made by the Paris papers is not appar ent. The Prussians have a superior position, and a superior force with whichto, deCest the Alesigns..of their. enemies. TIinFASRIONS. AND TELE WAR Me of !the memorable dictinetive feattmes of the ,Second,Empire in France has been the &- Aka Lion •of , Jress and the worship of extrava gane,s in every shape and style , of human adornment. As Josephine and Maria Louisa here klaudGOiln women, with a passion for finery tv• l lich trwle its mark on the'general so ciety of title First Empire, so Eugenie, baud borner than either ; and with the feminine love of dress stimulate by her husband's tradi tional as well asaonal admiration of It and appreciation of its value in French politics, has snide 'splendor , of decoration among women a prominent fact of the Second Empire, Her . lmperial Majestiwill 'deubtless be canonized by Mr. John S. C. Abbott, as have been the other two EMpressetit of France; and • lies name,. - her -- 'memory; ber and tier wardrobe will he held in . veneration by those who study history • under his guidance. Napoleon the 'Second crowned the.work of the Coup d'Etat by 34s marriage with the - handsome woman of the world who had. the rare gift Of knowing how to dtose well, 1 The Court, with a bachelor Emperor, who Lad nit a good , lo6i:iog female relative, was a Oa affair ; but it - win at once made splendid when . Eugenie, whose beauty was then imperial, was placed on the throne. With womanly tact, she gathered women around her not one of whom was quite as handsome as.herself, but still each was marked by some distinctive trait_pf clever ness ; each of them was taught by her that fine dressing was a religious duty , of a lady of the French Court, because it set• an example, not only the women of Paris and of France, but to the women of all other countr es. ant ley se e fashions " of the world, and as they consumed French silks, laces and bijonterie, Fratee pros pered and the people of France were contented. The women of England, of America, of Russia, and of all countries where wealth existed, paid theirgtd to the Empress Eugenie, when 'ever the sept. an order to a. milliner, or a dressmaker,' or - n jeweler, or a glover, or a tradesman of any kind, in Paris. When a thinking man or woman contemplates the ser vice quietly done to the people of France by the Empress's 'encouragement of French maim -factures and Parisian shopkeepers, he or she may Well wonder that the Napoleon, dynasty has been brought to apparent ruin in the very beginning of a campaign against Prussia; '- Ever since the 'marriage of Napoleon the Third, the rage for extravagant _finery has been growing in 'Paris, and consequently it has been growing in the rest of the world. There is hardly a husband or a father of any means, In this or litany other Christian land, that has notesufTezed 'from - -- tut; tinfertu:- Palely, virtuous wives-and daughters, in . Paris' and elsewhere, have not been able to monopo lize the glory of fashion. and . finery. The great world of the court has excited a spirit . of rivalry, not only among. the rich bourgeoisie, but among the base women of all classes, who sill their virtue at prices high enough to enable them .to compete with the court ladies in finery and in equipages. A name for this set of strumpets, that have .become distinguished underthe wend. Empire,- had . to belnventea. — No4 be 'of 'Die - high . world, their - extravagance still saved them from what the money-worshipping public calls the base world, and they have been . politely en titled the half-and-half world, or, in French, the Devi-Monde. The women of this class in • Paris have, of late years, really usurped the functions of the Empress as a leader of fashion-; for they never grow old—they die first; 'their places are continually supplied, and all this while, the once beautiful lady of the Tuileries has been subsiding into old age, the marks of which have been made more -conspicuous by the anxieties of her position, as the wife of a man who is himself prematurely old, and whose infirmities have unfitted him for-the social as well as the political duties-that devolve - on - the - head - of - the government._ The dethronement of the Empress as the Queen of Fashion is now followed, owing to the war, by the abandonment of Paris itself as the seat of Fasbion. The war has taken away many thousandB of Frenchmen; and has driven away as many more men of other nations. The women of Paris who made the fashions .for the world, are thus • left without their -sup --porters; the serious -business of war has taken the place of the frivolous business of finery and folly ; the great world and the half-and-half world are alike in trouble, and the reign of Paris Fashions is brought to an end along with the end of the reign of the Napoleons. - Of course when peace comes Paris may again be come the seat of Fashion, and, under a new court at - the Tuileries, - extrayaganee and folly I d_vice.may_again_bei 11011.511 km s_oet-fo_rimi,_ tatiou by the rest of the world. But we can not help thinking that there is some advantage offered to the rest of the world by even a tem porary suspension of the rage for extravagance that has prevailed ever since the beautiful Eugenie NN as called to the court of the Second Empire. THE " RULES " OF THE N.Y. A. P The New Yolk papers that compose the Associated Press are quarreling among them selves, and grumbling at the rules they have themselves established. The Herald is abusing the Irawne for its special despatches from the seat of war, and it makes this revelation con cerning them : " The rules of the Associated Press.,•of which the Herold is a member, require that the pri vate news despatches of every journal con cerned shall be shared among its colleagues, and that every such despatch when received shall be immediately handed over to the agent 'of the AsSnciation to 'be copied and delivered to the several papers of the Association in the same manner as other telegraphic news is de livered." The Herald complains of this rule, which it says it was "forced to accept," but it accuses the Tribune of violating it, in these words: " That journal, since the commencement of this .European war, has deliberately evaded and violated this law. It has appropriated to itself, under the weak devices of the shop lifter, the property of the Association to:which it belongs; it has been playing the game of obtaining credit. and money upon false pre tences. ifs enterprise is a !rand, and its : ex— clusive news is stolen goods. It has deprived its associates of news which belonged to them, while it has been sufficiently adroit as an ' artful dodger' to hold them to their full share of the expense. And as Robert Macaire flourished in triumph the handkerchief' filched from a neighbor's pocket, so boasts the Trihime of its achievmentn in this dirty business." „' Further„to illustrate the vassalage of all pa pers connected •with the Now York monopoly, the Herald says:: " Therein another rule of the Association under •which all special despatches that arc received by any member after one o'clock A. M. shall'be sent to the office of the Associated Press instead of being sent to the paper to which they are addressed, in order that they may be promptly copied and distributed to the several papers concerned. To avoid this rule or law of the Association the Tribune has had its despatches,-likely-to-comeinafter the hour designated, addressed to" one - of its lsubordi nates.as au '.outsider,' a trick which neatly cuts oil the Association from such despatches until it is convenient for the Tribune to fur nish than to colleagues just in time to be too lato' for its publication .4 n their morning edi tion, unless in a mutilated form, but still in time to exact from them their full proportion of the costs." g the charges made by tihe Hernia are .cor . rect, there ought to be power enough in the Associated Press to- punish the 'Tribune for its violation of the rules: But the public, who re spect independence and enterprLse among n ewspapers, are likely to side with the. nibune in its refusal to be bound by such rules. - They will also be more than ever convinced of .the meanness of such papers as tamely submit to the rules, and ati'the Hirald, one of those. PaPers, is daily - beaten by the Tiitiiine's 'iles-' patches, it must forfeit its old clizraCtex for en terprise and independence. it I HIA EVENING BULLETIN, 'TUESbAY, AUGUST 30, 1870. litofipp A.Nfri..soNA PARTIMIL According to. a LfindOU itelegram, a strong anti-Bonaparte feeling has sprung. up in Ma-. drid in consequen&l"of The revelation that, be fore tfie war with • Finssia - , Napoleon . had en gaged to restore Isabella to the'throne of Spain upon the cession of the Balearic Islands, to France. These islands of the Mediterranean are Majorca, Minorca, Ivica, Formentera and Cabrera, and they have a population of about a quarter of a million. If the bargain re erred-to-was-really-maderit is no—svolid• r rhn the Spaniards are incensed against Napoleon. France, or rather the, Emperor, is fast losing all the friends that were. counted on in the be ginning of the war on Prussia. Austria and Italy have positively refused to enter' into an alliance with the Emperor. Even the friend ship and sympathy of the Roman Church have been withdrawn from him, since he has called his troops from Rome. And finally it is an nounced that Denmark, which, as having been despoiled by Prussia, was expected 'to' assist France in the war, has decided otherwise. A despatch, dated Copenhagen, Anguist,24th,saya : "The reaction in public•feelino is aa - complete as it was sudden. A similar change has taken place in the language of the press. There is no longer a party advocating French alliance.' , Perhaps the Emperor could afford to 'ditiwith out- the help or sympathy of other PoWers. But the Anti-Bonapartism that has Sprung up in France since the war began is' what he has most to dread. Less than four months ago. the French people voted .to, sustain:him • and his dynasty by an enormous majority. . Now there is hardly a man in Franee that raises a voice in his savor. , , The Norristown Herald contradicts the re port telegraphed from Harrisburg that there is opposition to the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment in Montgomery county. On the contrary it says that the County-Commission ers, Democrats though they be, instructed the Assessors to enroll the colored ..voters, and these instructions- have_ been, or, are : . being, carried out in every instance. Nor was the. Governor's proClamation concerning the en forcement of the amendment addressed espe . - cially to the authorities of Montgomery county. It was sent to the Commissioners and Sheriff of every county in the State. General Grant is to be the recipient of a very beautiful reduction of the colossal paint ing of Sheridan's Ride , by the poet-artist him self,T.Buchanan Read. It is, if possible, a more, forcible and powerful work throughout than the noble original painting, but bears marks of the innate delicacy of the artist, who in this case outdid his former efforts most decidedly The gift is from Mrs. Ben. Holladay, of Cali fornia, who is at once a great admirer of our. President, the great Cavalry General- and Read, and She payk them all u compliment of the highest character. It remains-ia the hands of Messrs. Earle & Sons only to-day and a por tion of to-morrow, as they despatch it then to the President's cottage at Long Branch. The numerous excellent private schools of Philadelphia will soon be re-opened, and we call attention to the announcements of many of the best, that appear in our advertising columns.

THE WAR IN EUROPE SIEGE OF STRASBOURG Treacherous COnduct of the Garrison Another Flag of Truce Violated Manufacturing News in Paris The French 'lVhietling to Keep Their Courage Up. Ma.cAlahon'S Position STIRRING NEWS EXPECTED FROM EUROPE. I By the American Preto Arsodatiou.l THE WAR. The Elmo of Straohoerg. CAni.sntviii:, Aug. 30.-Advices from the headquarters of the troops besieging Stras bourg represent that the work of reducing the fortress continues with ardor. The breaches in the works are rapidly extending and the final assault upon the city will doubtless soon be begun. The garrison have just been the perpetrators of an unexampled act of treachery, which will doubtless invoke severe measure. against the besieged. - It appe.ars - that a - - communica,tiorc - wasre- - ceived from within the Walls by the comman der of the Priissian beiiegersto the effect that an important proposition was about to be made by the FrenchliticialS. Upon this announcement General Boyer, the commander of the South German troops conducting the siege, ordered a tempo"rary'm - - sation of the artillery fire. A formal request was then received from the Bishop of Strasbourg, that the bombard ment be stopped. This request v.-as - decidedly refused. _The Bishop then asked that, the in habitants and non-combatants be allowed to have the town, but was refused. He finally asked for an armistice of twenty- four hours Hi - which - to arrange - a - OAT - ley. Gen eral Boyer-acceded-to -the—latter-request,-and— granted the Bishop's prayer upon the condi tion that the Governor of Strasbourg should announce his desire to negotiate. Col. Luzenski was despatched to the French commander on behalf of the Prussians, carry ing a Prussian flag of truce, for the purpose of instituting negotiations. Upon his appearance beyond the' advanced outworks, a regular file fire was opened upon him from the French position. His flag was riddled with bullets, and he himself narrowly escaped the missiles of the enemy. This dastardly act has aroused the most re sentful feelings among the German soldiers, and they charge the French with cowardice, treachery and utter disregard of the rules and rights of war. The bombardment will probably now be con. dusted with redoubled fury. False News in Paris. BERLIN, August 30.—A Prussian official bulletin charges that all intelligence published in Paris as being telegraphed from Marshal Bazaine is manufactured in Paris. It is im possible that such information could be de spatched to Paris by any route, as all of Ba zaine's channels of Communication have either been destroyed or are in possession of the Prussians. The Prussian`authorities Consider that this statement of the impossibility of communica tion from Metz furnishes conclusive proof of the fabrication of all despatches through French official sources relative to the move ment of Bazaine around Metz. General Steinmetz Removed—His Sae ' eessor Appointed. The Grand Duke of Saxony will take com mand of the army of General Von Steinmetz, to succeed that official, who • has been re- moved.

Curious Senator Involved /Special Despatch to the Phila,. &veiling Bulletin.] WA.snixoroN, August 30.—A curious case has just got into a Washington Magistrate's Court, in which - Senator Sprague is involved: A firm of printers brought suit azainst _Prof. Graux, a writer, and Senator Sprague, to re cover the cost of a number of documents pre pared by the former, as he alleges, under con tract with the Senator, to furnish him a number of essays upon the labor question, currency, American shipping, woman's rights and kindred subjects. The magistrate, after a hearing, rendered a judgment against Graux and Sprague for tile full amount of the printing bin and costs. Gen. Sehenek's Nomination. Gentlemen just from Dayton, Ohio, report that the understanding there among the Re publican managers is that General Schenck will accept the nomination. Delay 'ee • o_ have been caused by some questions which have arisen in relation to the soldiers the Military Asylum being legally entitled to vote in the district. It appears that, during the closing hours of the Legislature of Ohio, an Enabling act was passed, which was intended !4) give the right, to vote to these Aoldiers. It is ehiimed, howe'er, by the Democrats that it was irregularly passed, and the leaders have been quietly investigating the matter. It is thought that the success of the Republican can didates will depend upon the course taken in regard to this vote. PENNSYLVANIA. (By the American Prcee Association.] Killed by Lightning.

Herald of to-day. j HoSDAY, Aug. 29 —The monotony of the Wall street markets, which is unparalleled in the modern history of events in our local financial business,and which many supposed would yield to activity on to-day, the begin ning of the first week of the fall season was, despite such season, rudely unbroken. The dealings in the Long Room were carried on by a group whose num bers were seldom over a dozen. and often only half that figure. Even in the Gold Room the crowd, which was moderate-sized in the forenoon, dwindled down to some twenty or twenty-five, who were as quiet as so many men could be: Whatever movement the gold premium .exhibited was dna to furtherreportg of heavy fighting in Europe, and, as the Prussiane were at first regarded as undotibtedly victorious, gold declined to 116d6 . Here it was reported that Enz.:tine had won a victory over the Prussians at a point north otHetz,.and that he was in communication with Paris, which city was forwarding him heavy reinforcements, gold advanced to 116 N, but us later it was reported that MacMahou had met with another reverse, gold fell off to 1164 i. Such was the ex tent of the movement in the market. . . . The demand tot governments, which is seldom effected by the character of business at the Stock Ex• change, was very light—the most significant evidence of the utter inactivity into which business has drifted. The effect of the bettor price in London seemed over come by the impression among a few dealers at the beard that the terrific fighting reported to be in pro. gress in France has not been a victory for the Prnssians. Hence the German brokers have been disposed to buy rather than to sell gold. As a consequence prices of governments at the dose were off a trifle from the average figures of the boards. There was little or no demand , for money among the stock houses, the new business of the . day being so light as to necessitate very little inquiry. 'Hence the ma jority of loans were suffered to lie over at the rates which were generally agreed upon as four per cent. where governments were the collateral and live per cent. when stocks ' were pledged. Discounts were quiet, with a wider range of rates. Prime double names are to be had at 7.fti to t3:ll' ger cent. Foreicm • exchange was dull.
