Cowt-MEYicui:, Sunday Evening, 'July 17th. —We arrived here’ at ten o’clock, last, night, after having . been . .sixteen . hours in getting from bur last stopping-place. Thirteen of. these . hours were spent ; in hard tfainping.’ By the time supper was ready and over, it was eleven o’clock. At such an hour, and after, such a day ’s exertion, you will not wonder that I felt more like resting than writing, and that, for once at least, I omitted making the usual entry in my journal before re tiring. So 1 must go back to yesterday morning and take up the thread of my narrative at the Chalet a la BalmC, where we spent Friday night. We breakfasted at a little, after five o’clock, and were under way by six. It was a steady pull from the start, right up the steep mountain side. .We were occupied six Lours in crossing two mountains, the Col de Bonhomme and the Col des Fours., On reaching the summit of the latter, we had attained an elevation of o,ooo' feet. We "w ere above "the .range of "vege tation, making our way over rocks and snow. We crossed several fields of ice and snow, and passed ..by . some... stupendous glaciers. By twelve o’clock.we reached, a little village called Mottet, one-third of the way down the other side of the Col des Fours. A hungry, '•weary s’et of travelers we were by that time, for we had to start with a very light break fast, at the Chalet, in the morning, aud had no provision with us on- the way. There we rested for two .brthree hours, and , had an excellent dinner, , ~ - - After dinner we had a meeting of the com pany to consider the expediency of remaining where we were, to spend the Sunday. B introduced a motion to that e fleet, which I seconded; We each made a speech on the subject, but failed to caify the rest of the meeting with us. N introduced an amend ment to B ’s resolution by proposing that' we make the remainder of the day’s journey on mides, instead of on foot, This was carried unanimously, and the company’s agent went out to arrange for a supply of mules. He soon J returned, however, with the unwelcome intelli- \ gence that the village of Mottet possessed but one solitary mule. Then it was proposed to engage this remnant of his race here for the use of B and myself, as far as the summit of the next mountain, for B——as the heaviest, and “ the present writer ” as tho oldest mem ber of the company. This solitary mule, how ever, was far from being of an amiable dispo sition, for when we attempted to. mount him he would stand erect, on his hind legs as though about to adopt the biped method of lo comotion. But, finally, after many efforts, he was held down till B mounted him; and after carrying 200 pounds straight .up the mountain’s side for half an hour, he calmly subsided, and gave us no more trouble. Three hours’ toilsome work brought us to the sum mit of the Col de !a Seigne. The line of sepa tiou between France and Italy runs over this summit. So we are now in Italy once more- The Col de la fjeigne commands an extensive and imposing view of the Allec Blanch. This is a lofty valley, many miles in length, bounded on one side by the precipices of the Mt. Blanc chain, 10,000 feet in height, and on tho other by a range about 1,000 feet, lower. It has been well said by some one that Mt. Blanc, seen from the Col de la Seigne, is like an artichoke surrounded by its leaves. The view from this point is esteemed the finest in the Alps. An eminent geographer has declared that only among the Himalayas can its equal be fouud. From the summit of the. mountain we had a fpur hours’ walk to the village of Courmeyeur, our present place of sojourn. It is a most picturesque place, lyiug directly under the shadow of Mt. Blanc, and shut iu by lofty mountains on every side. Our path down the mountain went skirting along the banks of the Doire, a glacier-fed stream that goes foaming and dashing down the mountain in the wildest .and most romantic manner. .. ’ I am surprised at what we have accomplished to-day—a 13 hours’ tramp. At home this would be impossible. But the cool, bracing mountain-air gives a wonderful power of en during. The last two hours’ walking was in the dark. We dragged on wearily enough then. It was with a feeling of intense relief that we reached the hotel and sat down to rest. But 13 hours on a stretch of mountain climbing are rather too much of a good thing at once. Hereafter we shall aim to lay out shorter routes. It set,, in, to rain heavily just as we reached the hotel. It has continued raining all through the day. The quiet .rest of the Sab bath has been most, acceptable. We attended service at the English eliapel this morning. Congregation numbered twelve. Had a short but good and sensible sermon. CitATll.i.oN, Monday Jiveniny, July lbt/i, 3870.—1 was notable to get any letters last week, but hope to find some waiting , for me when we reach Zermatt, where we expect to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. My last, finished at Courmeyeur, last night, told all about our meeting with Mr. B , our journey to Chamouui, and thence across the mountains to the place where we were so journing when it was closed. It told, too, of my great loss of the coat and letter of credit. 1 have heard nothing of.it yet, and cannot expect to hear till sometime next week, when we shall reach the first point'to which it would be convenient to have it sent, in the event of its having been found. But I have reconciled myself to the loss of it, as I think there Is not much prospect of its recovery. I comfort n>Tseif with ,the thought, that my note-book "was not in the pocket ot the coat, as it often lias been in our journeying. This contains about thirty or forty nice’.outlines of sermons, gathered on the way, in railway cars, on steamboats, in galleries, and other places, and , laid up lor winter’s use. I would much rather liave lost tbei coat and the letter of credit than this’book of notes, for the former can lie .i.Lwp.uld Jie.impossible. ,jfor..me .to reproduce. So lam thankful it was no worse. We left Courmeyeur at eight o’clock tins rooming. As our route to-day lay over a good,' broad goad, we concluded to vary our mode of '■ PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1870. locomotion’by taking a carriage, Pidestrian izing in a’comfortable carriage is very pleasant. As our English friends would say, “it’s jolly.”' We had first a four) hours'.ride to Aosta, through 'a Valley of the same name.- The scenery of the'valley all throtigh Is delightful; nFof the fipst two hours'we had. Mt. Blanc fiill in,view at the head of the valley. It affords the" best view of the great mountain. It is incomparably better than any view of it that we had in the Valley of Cbamounl. There, this great inoun :t&jn appears with other much nearer to the observer that they seem really higher, and divert attention from the; grand central 'object of contemplation. Mt, Blanc appears there like ai monarch in his reception-room, surrounded by attendants almost as stately and dignified as himself. But here you see the monarch' on his throne. His attendants are out of sight. There is nothing else to be seen. ;He rises into view in all the grandeur and 'sublimity of his peerless majesty. The day ;.was briiliant, and the atmosphere beautifully jdear. 1 The magnificent form of the great rmonarob, in his rpyal robes of spotless white, stood out, sharply defined against’the rich deep 'blue of a perfect Italian sky. It was one of those sights which make an impression on the memory that time can never efface. Those who have not seen Mt.'Blanc from this point of view can have very little idea of its real gran deur.. We reached Aosta by noon to -day; stayed there to dine, and" waited for several hours, during the beat of the day, before starting again. It is an interesting old town, with bridges and gates that have stood since the time when imperial Rome was in its splendor. The Emperor Augustus gave his name to the place, of which tlig present name is but a corruption. In modern times it was interesting as the place where Napoleon I. met his first opposition when he crossed the great St. Bernard Pass and began his brilliant campaign in Italy. , JKe left-Aosta, at four, ,an<L arrived.. here, at. eight. Chatillon- is a small town among the mountains, in a valley-where several important passes converge. It is built on both sides of a wild, deep gorge. There are several fine bridges spanning this gorge, and a wild mountain stream goes plunging and tossing through it. Tho window of my room at the hotel looks out upon the gorge, and I shall have the roar of the dashing torrent as my lullaby to-night. We expect to start early in the morning for the other mountain tratop. Biseuil, Hotel (lu Mont Corvirn, Tuesday Evening, July 10th, 1870. ■ Breuil, where we are sojourning to-night, is a little mountain village at the foot pf the Matterhorn. It is near 7,000 feet high, about as high as the summit of Mount Washington; hut elevated as its position is, the Matterhorn towers nearly 8,000 feet above it. We left Chatillon at six o’clock this morning. An in teresting walk of six hours up the beautiful Val Toumanch bronght us to the village of the same name, where we stopped to dine and rest. The whole walk up the valley was delightful. The mountains tower up grandly on either side. The bottom of the valley and the lower slopes of the mountains. are fertile and richly cultivated, while a rapid stream dashes wildly on its way through the bottom of the valley. When we Were about half .the way up the valley, a sudden turnof the road brought us into full view of the Matterhorn. It rose grandly up at the head of the valley, just as Mont Blanc did at the head of the Aosta valley, as mentioned in my joumaLof yester day. It was a splendid sight to see that mag nificent mountain standing by itself and lifting its gigantic mass of rock, and snow far up into the clear, blue sky. We bad tiiis grand object in view all the rest of our day’s journey. Alter a good, long rest at a nice, clean, com fortable inn in tlie village of Toumanch, we resumed our journey to reach the head of the valley. We stopped on our-way to visit one of the principal curiosities of the valley, viz., tiro Grotto du Geant. It is in the midst of au im mense chasm, through which a mountain stream has worn a narrow passage for itself. We descended the chasm' by a flight of wooden steps, and then we went along the side of the chasm by a wooden gallery, over the boiling torrent, to a huge cavern formed in the solid, rock by the action of the water. It is a dark and gloomy chamber which the sun never penetrates and very little light reaches. Aud at the other end of the chasm the mountain stream which runs through the valley leaps over a precipice and plunges far down into the gloomy gorge below with a thundering sound. A three hours’ walk after dinner brought us to our present resting-place. In the morning we expect to take an early start, to ascend and pass over the snowy summit of the St. Theo dale mountain, on our way to Zermatt. ZEit.M-Aa'T, lloTnn Monte Kos-v Weditts-- day Evening, July 20. —We had ordered our letters to meet us here, aud 1 hoped to have received later tidings from home. But in this 1 w as disappointed. And yet i did get some letters, 100, but they were Jive Months old. They were old travelers* having followed me from Baris to Marseilles, thence to Alexandria, Jalla, Jerusalem, Bey rout, and thence back again to Paris. How strange that after all they should find me here in the heart of Switzer land. And how oddly items of news from old let lets fall upon the ear. We learn for the first time,since our arrival here, that war has been declared between Fiance and Prussia. Certainly never was a mote causeless war than this. The mere whim of one man draws the sword that urns be bathed in the blood of thousands be .ore it is sheathed again. O for the time when the Prince of Peace shall reigu, and nations shall learn war no mote! We shall probably ex perience some personal iuconvenieuce from the present, outbreaks, in <«ur mail arrangements and railway communications. ' We have had a most delightful excursion to day,' We,-rose at three o’clock this morning so as to getdhrough with breakfast and bo ready to start on our mountain climb by four. lu starting from Breuil we had to leave our mules behind, and take potters to carry our baggage. We engaged three, besides the. guide. It is at steep ascent, all the way up from the iiotel where we liad spent the night. We started early .-so as —to —avoid the sun in going up the mountain. In this we were successful. The sky was perfectly clear, but the air was sharp and cold. As we rose to the upper part of the mountain we. found the ground frozen hard, There was ice along the edge of. the little mountain . streams, and the I .snow, as we trod on it, gave that'peculiar crunching sound we are accustomed'to hear on a, cold frosty morning. I missed my lost coat, add suffered some from the want of it; Not long after starting we saw the beams of the rising sun gilding the lofty peak of the Mat terhorn and other high summits around. It was interesting to watch the work of transfor mation that went silently on among the moun tain peaks as the sunlight fell upon them, one alter another. But as we were on the western side of the mountain the sun did not reach us till we got near the summit. It took us three hours and a half.to'reach the top; On arriving there w 6 found ourselves' roadjr* for ’• a second breakfast, ‘ whichwe , got there, found it very good for the place. . The latter part of our way'to the summit was over fields of ice and snow. And such a snow scene as the eye looks Out upon from the top of that mountain I never saw before, and never expect to see again. There were peaks of snow, and plains of snow, and arches and chasms of snow, and jagged and broken, masses of snow' tumbled wildly together; and'there was one magnifi cent amphitheatre of snow sweeping round from the summit of a mountain in the grandest possible style, pure enough and beautiful enough and sublime enough to be a place in which the angels might meet to hold council. The St. Theodule is aboutTl,ooo feet high, nearly twice, as high as Mt. Washington. It is the next-door neighbor to . the Matterhorn on theeast. The"view from itssummit bailies de scription. After spending two hours on the summit we began oui' descent on the other side, towards Zermatt. It took us five hours to get down, and we found it very hot and fatiguing work. The sun was shining fiercely down upon us,and the reflection of bis rays from the snow was very trying. But I have no language by which ta express the beauty and, grandeur of the scene that lay before us, especially in the earlier part of-our-way down.- -On leaving-the summit we had,to begin with,a short, steep, rocky descent. Then we came out upon a grand plateau, or magnificent basin. It was the bed of an im mense glacier, or ice-field. Our path led di rectly over it. It took us two hours to cross it. When we reached the centre of thi3 glacier and looked around, the panorama before us was one of the grandest this earth can furnish. On one side the Matterhorn, from base to sum mit, was full in view, its wedge-like form piercing the sky, as if aiming to split it asun der. On the opposite side was' Monte Rosa, with its many peaks, and the interlying valleys all filled with snow. Far away,.in another di rection, was the Jungfrau liftingup her stately head, all covered with a modest veil of spotless white. And then the whole circle . between these distant points was filled up on every side with a multitude of mountain peaks in an endless variety of sizes and forms, but in all of which there was a beautiful blending of rocks and snow. The day was one of the finest imaginable. There was not a cloud in the sky ,and a more sparkling and brilliant sky I never saw. And nothing can exceed the charm which this threw over the whole scene, bringing out, in the sharpest out line against the deep blue vault of Heaven, every peak and point in the vast range of mountains that surrounded us. We gazed upon the peerless prospect witty inexpressible delight and adoring wonder. We seemed to be in the very centre of the glacier world. Each mountain had one or more at its base, and all the valleys were filled with them. We made our way very carefully over the glacier, across which our route lay. The guides were very attentive. They would not allow us to go out of the line of their footsteps on the right hand or the left, and when we came to crevasses, wliiclfwe were doing at every few steps, they helped us over with the greatest caution. On our way farther down we got a full view of the projecting shoulder of the Matter horn, from which those English gentlemen fell, four or five years ago, in coming down from the first ascent ever made of its perilous peak. We saw also saw the glacier below, on which they were dashed to pieces, and where parts of their mangled remains were found. How amazing it is that men in their sober senses— to say nothing of Christian men, and, above all, of Christian ministers —should voluntar'ly put themselves in such positions of awful peril, for no other object but that of empty vanity! We reached Zermatt about two o’clock, thoroughly tired, but perfectly delighted with our day’s excursion over the St. Theodule Pass. . R. N.

Berlin, Sept. 2.—The following is an offi cial report of Die campaign, fro in the com mencement up to the battles around Metz : On the Oth of August the Ist Prussian Army found itself between Saarbrucken and Saarlouis, facing the 2d French Corps., occupying Spiche rlu heights, near Saarbrucken. . I'be J4lh division attacked as the French were preparing to leave on trains, and was sup ported by the 15th division and some portions of-tbe 2d Army under General Steirmietz. A bloody victory was achieved and 3,000 prisoners captured. Frossard retired from Forbacli to Metz, leav ing Ids baggage, private stores of champagne, pontoon train, camp kitchen, &c. Meanwhile, the Ist Corps moved on Met z,waiting for the 2d Army, which had to lay a railway track as it moved along. On the 14th of August the Ist Army was placed thus : The Ist Corp 3, with the 2d divi sion, near Etange, between Metz and Boulay, with another division near Courieiles, between • Metz and Avoid; the 7th Corps, with the 13th division, near Pange; the 14th division near Donnaville; the Bth Corps in reserve, near the village of Yionville; the' 3d. division on the left wing, near St. Uarbe, and its Ist Cav alry near Frontigny, the advanced post close to the French line, scarcely a German mile from Metz, while the main body was encamped on the banks of the |fied. .The enemy, had occupied. with considerable force the small water-courses between Colom by and Denoinilly. The movements of the enemy about four o’clock led' to a reconnois sance. Energetic resistance was encountered. The enemy developed great strength, and General Manteufi'el, of, the Ist Corps, and Geu. Zos trow, of the 7th, engaged promptly,Geu.Galtz’s brigade, of the 7th Corps, in advance. The Ist division advanced toward. Colomby, and was . 'soon involved in ■as very violent- conrbat, but - maintained .itself until Osten’s brigade came up, froutjn'g'a force far outnumbering it. Gen. Zostrow arrived at 5 o’clock to the east of Colomby, taking command in chief aud.ad “vancing the whole corps. At (i o’clock all of Glumer’s division was en gaged,maintaining itself with difficulty against a superior force. At 7 o’clock Kamek’s division was concentrated at Marseilly. At this mo ment six batteries were engaged, with others in reserve, to extricate and sustain Gluraer and Zostrow. At 0 o’clock Woynae’s brigade was sent to attack the enemy’aright, near Colomby. The brigade with splemJH bravery drove the •enemy, enabling Osten’Efcdgade to occupy the wood on the north of Colomby. The 27th . Brigade remained intact as; a reserve. At about 8.30 the enemy withdrew at all points. In the meantime the 7th Corps, with the advance oi the Ist, advanced under cover of cavalry near to the roads connecting Avoid with Metz. The corps opened the attack with the Ist division near Moutbois and the 2d near Noisseville. The enemy in force attempting to advance on the.latter point was repulsed with loss by prompt service with the corps artillery and by the reserves of infantry. Darkness closed the tight on the extreme left. The Ist division of horse approached Mercy-le-Haut, tlieir battery advancing with’ pauses to fire. The Oth Regiment pf the Oth Corps,belonging —■ to the left wing of the 2d Army, had advanced on the east on the same line. At the extreme right the 3d Division of Cavalry advanced to <3gz„ where its battery opened on the enemy north of Perighy. At eight o’clock the enemy recoiled, at all points, from the left bank of the Moselle, under the guns of Metz. Pursuit was stopped by the fire the guns from the fortress. Tfiefield was' covered with dead. J , owing to the activity of the fortress, the heavy lire of which tore through the Prussian masses, r Gen. Steinmetz, who came in, was in time to give orderefor the night, and the following; day to, prepare for a-renewal of the conflict. ■ Tbe.result was that the enemy in one quarter wasidriven fpiniitie waU;back into the fortress; j lif another quarter a large body, was left to re*, treat on Paris aud fall into the hands of the 2d Army, which was moving rapidly on the W’estj.bahk pf„the ; SR)BQjref ■Leaying the Ist Corps and two divisions of cavalry on the oast of Metz, the army next day moved to the left, without rcsifetafccc, at Afey’ aud'Caruy.. On the 17t,U the. corps . was be yond Are sur-Moselle, the Bth and oth Corps at Gorza,while the 2d Army was marching rapidly towards: Metz on the Verdun road. ■' - „ After victorious,fights at .Yionyille and .Fla-, rigny, the task of the Ist Army this day was to act as the.rigbt.pf all lines of attack, holding the left bank Of the Moselle, while the 2d Army moved so that the front would extend from northwajd.east, thus bringing the Ist, and 2d Ar mies'between;Metz and Paris. On Che 17th ho Oliensive movement was made, the Prussians resting near Gravolotte, the 7th Corps contenting:itself with repelling a slight fchonuoisance near the forest of .Vaiix. At this moment General Steinmetz, recon noitering at the south of Gravelotte, in tiie forest of Orgretti,: discovered ;tlie enemy three corps strong eucarhjied. in the heights north of Gravelotte. Farms of St. Hubert aud Point dn Joure .were occupied about noon; Omieral Steinmetz, hearing a heavy caunonade -,t Yern ville, anil having been advised that the bead of the Ninth corps was engaged, gave orders to resume the attack. The Seventh corps deployed on the south and east of the heights iof Gravelotte. A for midable artillery practice followed. Fifty can non, presently augmentled to eighty, opened on the enemy’s batteries, while advancing steadily along the high road wife a tnitrailleur, when, lire' was ppeiied on .the reconnoitering party, A strong outpost, well sustained, was placed. 1 The enemy made no serious attack that day. On the 18th the Ist Army remained quiet, the enemy equally so, while' the 2d Army ad vanced to Vernvilie and Maneaux, thence to renew the, fight. up the hill. Steinmetz and stall'remained by the batteries under a shower of projectiles, but hardly bad an hour passed before the French batteries grew silent, and the French began to retire. The infantry of the 7th Cops in the meantime rested in the woody gorge between Gravelotte and Point du Joure, but Yalta’s brigade, posted near Are to guard tiie Moselle valley, was already engaged in combat; It took the village of Y'aux and the heights of Fressy, where it sustained itself. lu the meantime the .Seventh and Eighth Corps .coming from Bezonville, opened an attack with heavy artillery practice, while tiie First Division .of the cavalry, took the first sheltered position behind it, and the infantry attacked the enemy in the woods of Genivaux. Again the enemy’s guns were silenced, while the infantry encountered an obstinate re sistance in the Genivaux woods, where the light continued for hours. Owing to the den sity, of the woods tiie hostile forces intermixed, and,tiie Germans and French frequently fired into their own ranks. •Emerging at last from tiie wood, the Prus sians carried the heights and farm of St. Hu bert, with severe loss. . A farther advance was impossible on this side. The French artillery was withdrawn, and the Prussians became si lent. __ " _y_ _ .About three o'clock, supposing the enemy gone, Steinmetz ordered Hartmann’.? cavalry to cross the delile with two horse batteries and .the 4th Uhlans and pursue. This was effected at 4 P. M. The pursuers found that the enemy had not retreated, but was sheltered, from the cannonade by the troops which had advanced. Our men encountered a -murderous fire from cuassepdts, cannon, aud mitrailleure. Dead and w ounded instantly cumbered the roads. The Prussian batteries soon re-opened, sbelter ingtbe cavalry. The duel continued till dark, ..when, leaving a force on the field, the Prussian main body fell back. At four o’clock in the morning the Prussian artillery reopened,-the French replying- until silenced. At the left, between Vemviile and Arman Yillccrs, infantry fire alone was heard at resr^bursoon' artillery began, 'showing the approach of Prince Frederick Charles. " The German infantry held firmly, awaiting the sup j/ort of artillery, and kept the enemy busy. The French all day died the cliassepot from trenches, at 2,300 yards, inflicting dismay aud severe losses, but they were, nevertheless, in a desperate condition. Being surrounded and attacked on all sides, their only chance was, to retreat to the fortress. 1 At seven o'clock in tiie evening they made one more effort to cut through our lines to I’aris. Fine after line of riflemen, firing over each other’s shoulders and shouting wildly, rushed from the heights to a ravine through tiie trees. The Prussian infantry, .thinned and weakened, wavered. The moment was criti cal, but the artillery providentially, opened and burled back with slaughter the assailants. The Prussians then assumed the ollen3ive. Beinforcements happily arrived, the King having approached and despatched the Pome ranian that had never been under fire to the front. Its aid was decisive. Rushing toward and firing it carried the heights, winning the day. On the 19th the enemy took refuge iu Metz. Mauxdelsheim, September 2, Xoon.—'The siege of Strasbourg continues. A sortie by the garrison was made at four o’clock iu the morn ing. The French opened with a very strong but not well-directed fire along the whole front, when a vigorous artillery lire ensued. The losses sustained by the Prussians are not yet known,but they are considered unimportant. At the same time the French made a sorlia upon the island of Woakeu, and towards the railway station. - The Cologne Reuse, with the Ist Battalion of the 2d Baden Grenadiers, drove back the enemy from the railway into the fortress. Capt. Graef, of this regiment,.and about fifty men were killed and wounded. . . - The attack on Woaken was repulsed by the 30tb Regiment. One French officer and four! chasseurs were taken prisoners. Lieut. Von Vessen was wouuded. ■ The second parallel is nearly completed. Malancourt, near Metz, Sept. 2, 11.20 A. M.—From the morning of the 31st of Aug ust imtil noon of September 1, Bazaine, with several Corps, uninterruptedly attempted to break out from Metz in a .northerly direction. Under the chief direction of Prince Frederick Charles, General Manteufi'el defeated ail these attempts in a glofious engagement, which may be designated as'the.'battle of Noisseville, and ihe enemy was thrown back into the fortress. The First and Ninth Corps;.and a division of Kumn>erlein, and the Laudwehr, and Twenty eighth Infantry Brigade participated in the en gagement. . . . . The principal fights were Serigny, Noisse ville and Retonfay. Our losses were not large: the enemy’s were very heavy. General Ulj’ich, of the garrison of Strasbourg, made a sortie; and was defeated with loss. The defeat of MacMahon is complete. The Prussian corps engaged in Thursday’s battle were,the Fourth, Fifth, Eleventh and Twelfth Guards, and Bavarians, composed of 174,000 infantry, 7,000 cavalry, anil 480 guns,. nearly half of which belonged to the army of the Crown Prince of Prussia., MacMabon’s whole force was engaged, probably 150,000 of alii arms. Reinforcements from Paris could not have reached him; i .London, Sepri. 2 [Special to the New York! ll'orid.]—A telegram' from Florenville, Bel-; gian-Luxembourg, says : On Wednesday, the; French, after fighting seven hours, fell back on; Sedan, the Prussians holding the around of the 1 action, but with fearful losses.

I.—There is intense delight among all classes of people at the prowess ex bibitedjby the Bavarian corps in the German army in the battles near Beaumont. Flags are flying from the public buildings aud elsewhere, and citizens are parading the streets with bands of mhsic, banners, and transparencies. The government 'authorities were enthusiastically cheered. ... „ . , . . , Yestei day there was a reunion of the Liberal Deputies in the Chambers to respond to the convocation of Notables who were in session at Berlin. King Louis was duly notified, and a congratulatory telegram Bent to King Wil- ’ iiam on the field of battle, as well as to the 1 Berlin meeting. Tiie King, in reply to the fe licitations, expressed his joy and thanks for the confidence of Bavaria, and assured the Depu ties that the combat of the giants would result to the honor of Bavaria and Germany.

Paris, Sept. 2. —Paris journals all publish letters from-correspondents, to-day, corrobo rating the news previously published of suc cesses to our arms. The Prussians, however, are so numerous that hatties must be resumed on a vast.. scale._-Both- sides, -have-received heavy reinforcements. It is assured here that the King of Prussia is insane, and has been taken to Berlin. It is reported here that a large French army, under command of General Douay, has entered the territory of Baden. In Brittany, recently, 72,000 volunteers par took of communion in one day, on the eve of enrolling themselves in the army. It is said here to-day that old people, women and children of Strasbourg, have been enabled (o leave the city by means of a subterranean passage in an old cloister recently discovered. The Council of State at Paris think of fixine rife price of bread and provisions, owing to the rapacity of dealers. Calais and St. Pierre are to be put in a com plete state of defence. , Paris, Sept. 2, Evening. Uncertain and contradictory reports circulate regarding the movements of the armies and the recent bat tles. Count Palikao, in the Corps Leyislatlf o-day, declared he had' received no official .eves from MacMahon or Bazaine,and no com munication to make.to the Chamber. At the liourse and in all circles here fears are ex pressed that the French soldtei-s have been out numbered, but despatches received by way of Belgium represent that MacMahon lias been suc cessful, and that Bazaine, having received full supplies arid provisions and ammunition, occu pies a good position. It is believed that fight ing has been going on all day-to-day. Despatches from Arlon dated yesterday say the fortress of Mezieres and Sedan wiil occupy the attention of a large force of the Prussians if any attempt is made to besiege them. French journals call attention to the fact that although the Prussians have much to say oi' the battle of the 30th, when Gen. De Failly was repulsed, they make littlemention of that of the 31st,when MacMahon repulsed their left and ceDtre. The Prince Imperial is expected at Mau benge from Avesnes. ’ ,>■ London, Sept. 2.—The Paris correspondent of the Globe vouches for the truth of the fol lowing report: A gigantic battle has been in progress since Wednesday morning, near the forest of Argonne. Tbe following despatch from the Emperor reached the Empress Thurs day afternoon : “All goes wonderfully well our plans all succeed.” The Civilian, an obscure journal of this city, asserts that sixteen boxes Of property belong ing to Napoleon have been received iu Lon don, and are now stored iu a warehouse in the city. Paris, Sept. 2.—There is great difficulty iu feeding cattle at Bois Bouloage, and it is pro posed to disperse the collection until the Prus sians come.
