CORRESPONDENCE. tEITEE rKOM HOME. I Correspondence of the Philo. Evening Bulletin.] lU)MK, Italy, August 1-th, 1870.—There is a fine French mo/—“ Qtiand ou dccroche des mondes ilfaut avoir la force de lea porter ” „ whC n you unhook worldsyou should have the strength to carry them:” The Emperor of France and King of Ffussia unhooked tremen dously weighty ones when they began this war. The French sovereign seems to be lack ing the strength to carry his; while the King of Prussia, like the first Napoleon, appears to be able and willing, not only to carry those he has unhooked, but to unfasten and hang up in his own possessions all the disputed little worlds of the European continent. So Sews. We have had no news since Tuesday, viz. : None has been given to the public. Tele grams arrive regularly; the authorities know all that you do-all that is passing in theoutr side world, and which we are so eager tohear. The little undercurrent of news which is al ways flowing at Home, and which I find more exact than such news is apt to be elsewhere, tells us that a horrible combat is going on be fore Metz. It began - yesterday, continued from sundown to sunset, and began again to day. The poor French, it is rumored, are again defeated. As the Prussians generously say of them: “ It; is, an,army of, lions led by asses.” And yet who would have said a a month ago that Marshal MacMahon did not know bis business ? The Crown Prince. A charming story is told here of the Crown Prince of Prussia; it comes from the Rastad correspondent of Duvernois's new journal, the Volontaire. After the battle of Wissembourg several hundred prisoners .filed in witli high heads and stern looks, poor fellotvs! General von Bittenfield and his staff looked at them coldly. • Suddenly the Prince of Prussia- rode up, and, when he saw the prisoners, lie took off his hat with serious respect aud bowed to /hem; then, turning to von Bittenfield and the others, said: “Salute courage, gentlemen; never in my fife have 1 seen anything so brave as these soldiers, whom ill luck has played falsely.” Italian Snperstltlon. Since tlie defeat of the French the Italian troops which were stationed aroundThs-PapaF States have been withdrawn. Some say they have been sent to Napoleon; the other and most likely report is, that they have been or dered to the Italian frontiers, for in case Of difficulties in Paris between the (Government in power and the Liberal party, Italy would have much cause for alarm. In this superstitious country—for be it known, the new Mahomet and Koran of the Italian Liberals is spirit ism every little onion and incident is noted. Lastweek, during one of the violent debates in the Florence Chambers on the Roman question, the flag hanging over the building was torn into two pieces by the wind. Of course the Liberals interpret this favorably for then cause. It is a strange fact "that the very men who ridicule the super natural phenomena believed in by a large body of the members of the Roman Catholic Church have a firm faith in occurences which are entirely contrary to natural laws. One of the principal Italian Liberalists is President of the Spiritists Society at Florence! He is an intelligent, well-educated man, but is, of course, ignorant of natural science. But at the same time a great deal of this su perstitious tendency arises from temperament. The Neapolitans and Romans are born Pa gans. natural idol ■worshipers; and even the Northern Italian is infected with this spirit, Much that is objectionable to a Northern Catholic which is seen existing in the Church at Itome, and which is not subject of actual doc trine and dogma, Jnit which has caused many unpleasant comments'to be made by our Pro testant friends, has arisen from the headquar ters of the Church having been established at Borne. Placed as she has been in the very centre of a naturally idolatrous people, these barnacles of superstition have naturally collected on the Ship of the Church. The old Beformers of Luther’s day protested against them, and left the Church. They had better have done as the modern" Catholics are acting—remained in the Church, and gone courageously to work to Scrape the barnacles off. If they had, Christen dom now would have a stronger front to face modern scepticism and infidelity. The French Evacuation Another body of cavalry passed up the PL azza di Spagua and out the Porto del Popolo this morning, at 5 o’clock—about 250 men. The ■ defence of Rome is left to those Pluebus-look ing men, the Palatine Guard; gendarmes, po lice, and the Rural Militia, who have as many names as a European royal baby. Sijuadriylla is their proper Italian title, which means small squadron .' They are “called by' the" French Urban Guards: the Roman nickname Ziyuri scdti 1 have already given you; a new one has been fastened on them—ccicciulepri—hare-hun ters. It is a picturesque company; the costume is the National brigand one, made familiar to us in Fra Diavolo, and 1 think more of pleas ant operas than of “ Famine, War and Slaugh ter” when I see it. Some of the French soldiers who have been at Rome have behaved very badly. When they left Oivita Vecchia they threw away their Mentana crosses, of which they were so proud three years ago. The guards at Porta Salaria deserted on Monday night, “took the key of the woods,” as the French sav, and lied to Civita Vecchia. They doubtless had passports, as it is said the French Minister de Bannevillo secretly favors these desertions. Porta Salaria is the gate by which Alaric entered Rome; it is near the old Porta Collina, before which Hannibal camped, and over which he threw his spear; it retains the name of the entrance place in. the.. .Servian .wall,, through which the Sabines, carried, their salt, and which was very close to this modern Porta Salaria. The streets which enter the city by this gate—Porta Salaria and Porta Ilia— (for . merly Porta Nomentana) join near Villa Tor- lonia :_at that .point .stqod.thePor.ta-CoUina ..of., the Servian Tullian wall. The drives out Porta Salaria and Porta Itia, by the way, are beautiful. It is a liealthy part of the Campagna. The villas -in that direction can be occupied with perfect ■ safety'”, in the summer and autumn. Be tween two and three miles out on the Via .... Salaria or Salaro, is the Ponte Salaro—or its • ruins—for it was partially destroyed, first in ’49, then-completely during the Mentana battle .of ’O7. It was a bridge of three arches, crossing the Anio; the piers were originally built of ifeige square blocks of tufa, and . sup posed to be of the earliest Roman period. ' Narses Justiniani, the general ■who defended the Mausoleum of "Adrian —Castle of St. Angelo—against tlie Gotbs, and threw down upon them the magnificent statues which adorned the building, among which were such master-pieces of art as the Rar berini Faun, —this same Narses rebuilt this Salaro bridge, and cased it with travertine. Now the old blocks of stone lie in the bed of the river, and the waters of the Anio, which come all the way from Subiaco, after stopping at Tivoli; for a frolic over the cascades, go babbling and tumbling delightfully over the ancient tufa on their journey to Father Tiber. A Dlnionstrazlnnat- I.ast evening some friends came in at my tea hour,half-past nine o’clock—a most unusual oc currence on Thursday or Sunday evening, for the music at the Piazza Colonna on those eve nings keeps them too late for the cup of tea which all Romans drink, because it is comme il faut, not because they like it. No music on "the Piazza! The Ossermtore of the evening bad published the programme, and yet they had found the Piazza dark, and no band! Each one took his cup of tea with an injured air, and looked as if be bad been deprived of the rights dearest to a. mail and a citizen. The Government had heard late in the day that there was an intention among some evil-dis posed persons to make a .dimouxlrazione, as a mob is called elegantly in Italy, and had for bidden the band to play.. To-day, at noon, however, the dimomlra zione came off, in a less elegant square than the Colonna Piazza—in the Piazza Montenara (you remember the place), just where the old black ruins of the Theatre of 'Marcellus curve around the summit on which was built the -Paiazzp Orsink'ln that piazza a figlit occurred" between’ some French soldiers of fhe Legion Antibes and the German cacciatori,. chasseurs! several were killed and more wounded. Now, if the Italian Government was not occupied in attending to very pressing matters on her own frontiers she would have an excellent excuse for requesting the Tope to disband his foreign troops, and accept Italian protection. There is every appearance of trouble. It is slowly gathering, and sooner ofnaler will bursL out. A few nights ago a bomb was thrown into the Piazza Mangana—a Piazza near the Capitol, ■between the Piazzas di Campitella and Ara Cadi. As it was late in the evening for Rome— -9 o’clock —there were few persons in the square; so no one was killed. t Tl»e I’ope Contemplates Retreat. Yesterday—no,, Wednesday—a Bishop called on the Pope to make his adieus. Ah, said Holy Father, “ You are leaving Rome, are you ? lam having the same idea in my own mind. 1 may also leave in a few days.” Nor Can we tell what may take place at any moment, although I must admit the city seems -on the surface perfectly tranquil. We pass through various quarters daily, going and coming from our drives, and see nothing out of the way. Wednesday morning a friend and 1 spent two hours rambling about in the woods of the beautiful Vatican gardens ; the workmen and gardeners were occupied tranquilly at their peaceful labors, as if there were no wars or rumors of war in the horizon. Yesterday I was at the Palace of the Ciesars, studying the excavations for three hours; the laborers of Chevalier Rosa were carting earth and -digging away at “ Republican foundations and Impe rial constructions” as calmly as if no political and bloody cloud threatened the fortunes of their royal master, Louis Napoleon. Tbe Artists. And our artists, too, who are in Borne, are very busy at creations quite foreign to milrail levtsi’x, cliassepots and needle-guns. Buchanan j Bead is sending off his boxes of pictures or dered last winter. Miss Ho.smerhas been busy in her studios superintending the boxing of that beautiful fountain which stood in her front studio room ; it goes to its owner, the Earl of Brownlow, in England. Its place is supplied by a plaster model. Miss Ilosmer is also hard at work on other and new creations. Next winter visitors to her study will see the Queen of Naples’s fine statue,the Everett monu ment, the Letchworth monument, the Waking Faun, and many other beautiful things. | Your townsman, Harnisch, has finished his i pretty group of the “ Matron Clipping Love’s | Wingsit has gone into plaster. He is now | modelling a charming little thing—“ Love Tem j poring his Arrow over his Toi'ch Flame”—and industriously chiseling the Mullen statue. A.nnk Bjcewsteu. Ollt WILMINGTON LETT Ell, -ICorrcHpondeucoof the Phila. Kveuinc Bulletin.l • ■■ ■- - I‘olUK‘itl. y • Wilmington, August 31st.—Returning to Wilmington after an absence of a few weeks, I find it enjoying its accustomed calm, the rap idly approaching city election having thus far failed to create any strong interest or excite ment. In several Wards the Republicans have not yet made their nominations, but they will complete them to-morrow evening. The Democratic candidates are generally in the field. The only officers to be voted for through out the city are l’resident of the City Coun cil, City Treasurer and Assessor, all of which places are now filled by Demo crats elected last year, though a Re publican Mayor and Council were elected at the same time. The present incumbents have I been renominated by their party. The Repub lican nominees are John EL. Adams, a promi nent manufacturer, for President of Council; Jos. L. Killgore, a Libby Prison soldier, for I Treasurer, and William Z. Alvicksfor Assessor! Nobody pretends to doubt that they will be elected by a majority as heavy as the whole colored vote. In Council it is not so easy to predict. Ward will elect one Demo! crat; the Second Ward, two; the Third Ward is doubtful,'and the Fourth pretty certain for thd Democrats. The Fifth Ward will elect one : Republican; the Sixth, one ; the Seventh, two; the Eighth, one; and the Ninth pro bably one, - to replace a Democrat. If the'Democrats gain anything, it will be Jn the Third Waidj whefda'Repuhlicau, whose term now expires, was elected last year by running ahead of his ticket. Taking it all-in all, there is no reason to doubt that the Repub ! lican ascendancy in Council will be maintained, ; and tbo probabilities are that it will stand-fO j Republicans to 8 Democrats, without counting i the President, who, of course, is also a mem i her with a vote. - Fonder. In State politics there is nothing new, unless PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1870. y/e can call the last week’s performance at Ito vernew. In my last letter I wrote you that they would nominate Ponder (Saulsburys brother-in-law) lor Governor, and re nominato Spread Eagle Biggs for Con gress. They of course did so. I take no prophetic credit to myself, however, on account of the realization of that prediction, as any one familiar with our State politics knew two years ago that Ponder was the coming man, it hav ing been decreed by the reigning family. He was elected President of the State Senate with a view to succeeding by virtue of that office to the Governorship had Willard resigned, or been expelled from the United States Senate,or his brother, the Governor, been elected .in his stead, as he would have been. What is a “ pocket-breeches borough” to this State ! Its government is managed more like that of a petty German duchy before the era of Bis marck and absorption than like that of a State in a Great Bepublic. Pleosarlofr.. Oiir people are generally getting over their holiday pleasuring, and resuming work. The old faces are getting back bn the streets, and business-men stop between bargains to briefly recount the pleasures they enjoyed at the springs, the seaside or among the mountains. The two brisk political fights coming will warm up their blood for the active work of the coming fall and winter. , Pcncbes. Peaches continue to pout through .this city northward bound, and a goodly portion of them remain with us. They sell here from lo cents to $1 a basket—those bringing the latter price being really fine fruit. The shipments are smaller than last year* but the season promises to be a little longer, and I have little doubt that the “estimate of one million six hundred thou sand baskets I gave you a week ago will be fully realized. lam also fold that pretty large shipments are being made by the new line of steamers from Lewes, and I suppose quite a number are now going to Philadelphia by the canal steamers. Daub. ELO<IVEST FIEEO NOTES OF A Cl II ZENa . Horrors of a Battle Ground. A correspondent ol the London Tdcgmph, ■writing from-Saverne, Aug. 11, says : - >< a iittle before midday I enter.the little town of Wasselonne. The Prussians have been there; they have promised to come back; but they don’t—at least for a quarter of an hour—and we dine comfortably at the Pomme d’Or Hotel. Eight young men sit down and relieve their terrible fatigue. They bear the insignia of the International Society. They have come from the battle-field of Woerth, and are trying to rejoin the French army Without having any definite idea ol where it is. They hoped, as I did, that the route by the Vosges would be'open for a day or so; that they could arrive at Epinal across the mountain's, and thence reach Paris or Cha lons bv the railway. Their group meets at Miilho'use, near M. Delman’s, a delegate of the International Society—a gentleman connected with the best families" on the Upper Rhine. Among his friends are a Bavarian, a Swiss, a Belgian, a surgeon, a sculptor an da dentist. x ii. Delmashas "wished ine~to _ publish - the notes he made on the battle-field of Woerth. They arc eloquent in their brief intensity, and they will afford you more varied observations than could be comprised in a more formal de scription. As to this you can judge for you r se' Smnday—A rush pell mell of about two thousand French soldiers, who to take refuge in Strasbourg. Heroes yesterday, fugitives to-day. Heroes again to-morrow, when tkev will have seen the standard again and eaten their soup. Sixty peasants’ carts re quired to remove the wounded from the field of battle. In the evening, at Briickinuhl, a lot of Prussian corpses; a pastor aud a Csftho lie priest. A soldier is struck by his officer be- i cause he moved a corpse with his foot. Two hundred wounded men are in the mill. Night Groaning and treatment ot the wounded. Lanterns of "marauders in the distance, on the lield of battle. An officer of zouaves, his two arms taken off, wounded in the neck near the dorsal vertebra;. An officer of Wiirtemburg, M. von Elberfeld; hall in the loins; his tor ments agonizing to see. IV hat of his wife aud children ? ■ “ Dupont, a Parisian, wounded in the thigh bone, suffers terribly without complaining. “Amputation of a zouave’s leg; thirty min utes. He has been smoking cigarettes all the time. , „ . , “A Turco, his ear, eye and nose all carried off by the same ball. The surgeons give him morphine to finish his pain, and leave him. But during the night he is able to raise himself up. “ Rain. Nothing to eat. “ Monday morning—Visit to Spachbach. Ambulance in the church. Field of battle cir cumscribed by Elsasshausen, Freischwoller, Woerth, Reichsboffen, Spachbach, Gonstett and Morsbronn. An irreg,ular semicircle, of wbieli the. centre is Reichshoifen. In the valley of Woerth all the dead are Prussians. On the heights of Freischwoller there are heca tombs of French of- all arms. The cuirassiers lie in the hop-gardens. “ The heaps of men, of horses aud of knap sacks, seen from a certain distance, resemble flocks of sheep resting on the rise of a hill. At Morsbronn were seen the Prince Frederick Charles aud the Duke of Saxe-Cobonrg-Gotha. The wounded French and Prussians are treated precisely on the same footing. There is, however, a sensible difference between the morale of the wounded victors and the wounded vanquished. Prussian officers con sole their men by telling them of the taking of Strasbourg, which is not taken. “At Fioschw.eillor.the .-Chateau Durcklieirn has been transformed into a hotel. There re main traces of an obstinate struggle. Our sol diers have fought bravely. As far as Elsasshau sen the ground is literally paved with shot. We are told by the Prussians that they have shot fifteen marauding peasants. “ I came upon the body of an officer of Cui rassiers who had been shot through the loins. If the Eighth and the Ninth Cuirassiers are not entirely destroyed, there can only remain a small fragment of them. Poor men 1 Brave men! “ The church at Froschvveillor burnt down. I saw the body of a French surgeon on a litter, his kepi lying on his breast. Twenty-five otliei s are prisoners, because they have con temptuously refused to wear the badge of the International Society. They appear to be more wearied aud sulky than despairing; they are occupied with the care of the wouuded. “Having quitted tho Prussian lines on the 11th of August, we arrive at liitsch. If we were well received by our enemies, we also met with ample hospitality from our countrymen. A military captain named Lamlre, with carpet slippers, Iccpi, sabre, and umbrella, did not know what to make of us. At ten o’clock at night, in the midst of.drenching rain, heprder3 ns, tq hoist our. knapsacks on our backs and accompany him to tho ' fort.' There we wait for two hours. I sleep standing, while they open a hundred doors and raise a hundred portcullises and lower a drawbridge to awake . the commandant of the place. The command ant, who is g man of sense, simply wishes us ‘ Good night,’ and requests that he may not be disturbed without cause.” PROFEBSOR JOHN 15U OH AN AN, M.

THE WAR. London, August fll to the New Yorlf Tnld me.]—AspecialCorreapomTeut writes from Berlin the 2Uth that three reserve armies are forming, which consist chiefly of tlie laud tvelir and reserves, but partly of new troop. 3. One army is forming at Cologne, a second at Beilin, and a third at Hombnrg, in the Palati nate, under the Duke of Mecklenburg. The movement of troops Is very active. Five thou sand guards left last night to fill up the thinner regiments, and more will leave to-night. These reserve armies are for eventualities. - Tvben peace approaches and neutrals interfen: Italy’s course is received with especial suspi- eioiu-and -Mecklenbtirg’s—array— into Upper Alsace as a precaution. The Tribune's special from Berlin this even ing says the following despatch has just been received from King William by Queen Augusta: Vajsekxes, August 30.—We had yesterday a victorious engagement. MacMahon was beaten apd driven from Beaumont across the Meuse to' Mousson. Twelve guns, several Thousand prisoners and much material fell into ourhknds. I repair to the battle-field to pursue the route of the victory. God help jts further. Wn.inu.M. | London, August 31.—[Special to the New 1 York World.] —Much Indignation is excited by tlie Prussian protest on the subject of British neutrality, it is understood tliat a sharp answer will be returned, and England will not permit herself to be badgered. Beiii.in, August 31.—The National Gazette of to-day has the following important intelli gence : it is understood that neutral powers are corresponding actively. No result has as yet been attained, except a resolution that eacli power must acquaint the rest with any individual - move.- The evident purpose is still to intervene at some stage of the war, though Prussia regards, the movement as having been contemplated entirely too late. At a meeting of notables held here last eve ning an address to the King was framed pro testing against permitting foreign intervention, which woidd deprive Prussia of her reward for her late victories. The sacrifices of Germany alone should be heard. Germany is willing to confide all to the King of Prussia in establishing peace, not again to be wantonly broken. This intention has already been almost of fensively announced from Vienna and Florence, Prussia objects emphaticaily to the course of Italy. The latter has threatened complications jequirmg the undesirable solution that it is forced to fight or submtt'to great sacrifices. Bather than let a neutral profit from our trou bles, all the powers of the earth shall not stop us half-way in a war of self-preservation. England ;h'as also broached her intention-to intervene, but she never meant an armed in tervention.” The Interests of Europe demand the cessation of all such attempts. Bkiujn, Aug. 31.—The North German Ga zette, of this city, to-day gives the subjoined Statement as to the, organization and move jiientsof the .armies of Germany, respecting "which many errors have been in circulation lately: The Prince Royal of Saxony commands four divisions, organized as previously reported. This army has been ordered to move on Paris l)y n ay of Rheitns, while the 3d Army is mov ing to the same destination through Troyes. . Bight -army eorps are, therefore, now moving on Pans.,, The first army is commanded by ■Gen. Von Steinmetz, and consists, of the Ist, • 7th, and Bth Army Corps. • -This army is now\ aiear Metz. The second army is that of Prince Frederick •Charles, comprising the 2d, 3d, Otli and 10th : Aa-my Corps;' This is also near Metz. The , third army, commanded by . the Royal Prince -Comprises thejstb| Cth and iUtl* Corps, as well as two Bavarian corps. This army has been directed to move on Paris by way of Troyes. The fourth army,; thatref; the [Prince Royal of ■ Saxony, is advancing on ParisYiy way of Cha , lons. The fifth army, under General-Werther, • embracing the Wurtemberg and Baden-divi sions, is now Engaged in the siege of Strasbourg. Besides these, there is an army, of reserves, : partly under command of. Ibe.Duke, of Mecli leUburg-Scliwerin, on the Rhine ; partly undei; ~ 'Commandiof-Generah Causteinratjßerlin ;4hd; partly under command of General-ftowenfeld, jn Silesia. The following news is official: Yabennes, Tuesday night, August 30, via Berlin, August 31.'—Advance of the 12th Prus sian Army Corps and a portion—of the sth French army has had an engagement near Nouart. No details are received. The rail way between Mezieres arid ThioUville bas been'! destroyed at- two points by the Priissians. Buzanov,August 30,via London, Aug. 31. The Prussians attacked Mac Mahon’s army to day near Beaumont, defeatedit, and drove it back upon the Belgian frontier. The French camp fell into the liands of the Prussians. The pursuit’of the French was continued for several miles, aud was interrupted by the number of cannon and prisoners which were taken. The extent of tlie battle-field was so vast that it is impossible to obtain further details at this mo ment. London, August 31.—A despatch from Ca rigrian says cannonading was heard south of that place ail day yesterday, and late into tlie night. The result was unknown. The Empe ror has certainly left Carignan for Sedan. Ca rignan is a few miles east of Beaumont. London, August 31.—[Special to the New York Tribune.]—-The announcement that com munication between London , aiid Paris had been stopped is apparently; premature. Rail way officials say trains will start as usual this evening. A special writer from Paris, Tuesday eve ning, says: At Jeast 30,000 troops left to-day by northern railways. Their destination is unknown. Plenty of troops are left in the town, and they are still swarming, especially marines and sailors,'who apparently are to be trusted with its defences. rßois de Boulogne has been closed since yesterday evening. Eight hundred wagons containing household goods passed yesterday-through Auteuil gate alone. The inhabitants"of the enviroys are crowding , into Paris and camping in the streets and. squares, unable,.to obtain lodgings without paying in advance. All Parisians are leaving who can. I was offered to-day a Senator’s house for nothing on the condition of occupy ing it for two months and hoisting tlie French flag. The working classes are still.yainly ask ing for arms. ■■ • ’ . London, August 31.—The Prussians, con ceiving that MacMahon’s aim was to gain the frontier to effect a junction with Bazaine, ad vanced on their lines. Tlie Grown Prince, south of Nancy, marched by , way of Com rneicy, Bar-le-Duc, St. Dizier, and Vitry. The -fib Army, -tinder the 1 - Prince Royal'" of Saxony, keeping north of Pont-a-Moussob, moved towards Chalons, at the same time in vesting Metz, while Stelnmetz, reinforced, pro ceeded through Verdun to Rheitns, his right sweeping the Belgian frontier, in hope ofmeet ing MacMahon. Thus the German advance covered the country from Belgium, along the Meu&e to the Aube, and rendered it impossi ble for MacMahon to reach Metz. London, Aug. York Tribune.] —Si 31—[Special to the New ecial telegrams from Lux- emburg this afternoon say that the French people expect a battle near the frontier. Whole villages near the line in France are de seiled. .. The peasantry are flying from all directions into Belgium. A correspondent writes from Mezieres on tlie 28th that there were considerable forces at La Obene and Tourteron. The movements ofTroops"are - liicompfehe'nsibie." There is ‘an immense number of stragglers. Officers esti mate tlie losses from this cause since leaving Chalons at. more thau 25,000. No road is, safe. ' Bremen, August 31.—A letter from the i’lussian hnadquaiters explains how Bazaiue’s attempt to escape from Metz was defeated. A cope, of certain instructions of Bazaine was found near Metz, from which the Prussians learned that the enemy was to retire in two bodies, one by the high road to Mars le Tour aud Verdun, aud tlie other by the -Con flans turnpike. This plan was disconcerted by the Prussian attack on the 1 -Ith. The French subsequently took the road via Briey, but were again re pulsed, and finally driven back in the battle of tie- IHh to the walls of Metz. There they have >in e been confined, their only way of escaping being to cut a passage through the Prussian fine, which they have not attempted. London, Aiis. 3J. — The sulierings of the inhabitants of Strasbourg are terrible. They are starring, and are compelled to lire in their cellars, day and iiightj to avoid the increasing fire of the besiegers. Another fruitless sortie was made by the garrison on Monday. Prus sian sharpshooters are within five hundred yards of the glacis. Many houses have been burned, anil the arsenal was at one time on tire. The ammunition vras safely removed. The fortress continues to resist. Public meetings are held all over Prussia to sustain the government in prosecuting the war to the end, and to discourage all attempts at premature legislation. The French were so sure of victory at the opening of the campaign that they made no arrangement to send their baggage in case of retreat, and hence they have been compelled to abandon it in great quantities. Madrid, August ;;o. —The Carlist bands in the north of Spain have been defeated and dis persed wherever encountered. Hundreds have tied to France, where they have been promptly arrested. There are minors of a disquieting nature in circulation relative to affairs in Cuba. He Rodas demands 12,000 reinforcements to supply the great losses of his forces occasioned by sick ness, and recruiting goes on slowly. A special envoy of the French Empress had a long inteiview with the Regent Serrano and Prim yesterday. The Carlist movement is daily increasing in extent and importance. The Republicans are working quietly and with confidence. • Bjtr ssEi.s, August 31, via London, Sept. 1, 12.30 A. M.—The King of Prussia has sent the following telegram to Queen Augusta: ■ V'Ai!fiirNKS, Crown Prince has been in action with the Fourth, Twelfth and Seventeenth Corps, and the Fourteenth Bavarian. MacMahon was beaten and driven beyond the Meuse. Twelve guns, some thou sand prisoners and material of war were cap tured. Bouillon, ‘Belgium, August 31, 7 P. M,— [Special to the New York Herald.] —A fearful battle was, fought yesterday and to-day by the Prussian armies ef the Crown Prince, and Prince Frederick Charles with the forces of Marshal MacMahon. Yesterday morning MacMahon commenced a general movement toward Montmedy. He was attacked near Beaumont and driven back, after an , obstinate resistance, toward the Belgian frontier. The Prussians occupied the line of road and cap tured a large amount of camp stores. They i drove the French from position to position ’ until the night closed. 1 Early this morning the battle was renewed and continued all d§y. During the night a large number of Frfench reinforcements came up, (but they, failed to turn, the scale of victory. ‘ The Prussians were also reinforced largely, and attacked in overwhelming numbers. MacMahon retreated to Sedan, with the; remnant of his forces.; The. slaughter was im-{ mense. It is impossible; to ..estimate the loss. :.i The Prince Imperial is said to be in Bel-| gitim. ■ . ... ‘ ■ : ■ j.
