Smith, author ' of “Wi'dpw Goldsmith’s Daughter*?’ has written a Uv%,, clever, racy, rataplan sort of iiovel for a sequel' thereto. It is caUcd “JCjbrlsltod and reads genially, with the indispensable amount of sqn iment. To sbowjiist: what it is like we copy the diatribe uttered morej we think, in sorrow than in anger,- against thobjgdry-goodsshop which every one knows at Tenth and Broad way : “ Why not go to Stewart’s at once,” asked Sabrina,-“‘Wliere they'keep everything?” „ _L “ Because,” replied Mrs. Wnlsingbam, “ they have such ah unpleasant, indifferent, super cilious set ; of. attendants there. : I went last year to buy a large bill While I was ordering Bussey Ashcroft’s trousseau (our little Texas .friend, you know), and 1 asked for the first thing on my list—a lace- cape. Two clerks -were conversing together, and I spoke twice . before they even looked at me. Then one did turn and stare up and down my gray traveling dress, and coolly informed me ‘ they bad none likely to suit me ; none under fifty dollars!’ and tlie fellow presented liis shoulder and the - two brass buttons m hxs back, and resumed the account of a street' brawl which I had daringly interrupted. Quite quenched, I re treated to the glove counter and took modestly a pair ties c/ants, which I got tossed down be fore me, after a couple of entreaties, and 1 tried the leather and examined the maker’sname.” “ ‘Don’t stretch those gloves that way,ma’am, if you please!’ expostulated the clerk in a tone of the deepest injury. ' “ Absolutely extinguished, I dropped the hand-shoes and withdrew, thankful to get off with my head bn my shoulders,' and I cut loose from Stewart’s forever ; and I know that mine is not a solitary . case. . Yes ; I know it quite well. A lady who goes in that store in a plain dressha3~iMrehanceatall,'unless-sheis-WLlling to be snubbed,and takes joyfully contemptuous looks and supercilious service, which I am quite willing to admit Ido not. if I am about to spend money , I like to leave it with agreeable, cheerful people, who are not too fine to attend to their duties, and who will not glower at my clothes and lheirgoods about as if thesigbtr of me was hateful, and my simple inquiries a personal affront.” The same house publish “Ginger-Snaps,” Fanny Fern’s last agony. Fanny has been fascinating for so lo ng a period that she takes tiie trick now familiarly, and is irresistible from sheer force of lnbit. Among the pep pery little articles tumbled into this book we recognize all the author’s old hobbies, such as care of children, cheeriness of manner, treatment of “tomboysy ’ male and female fol lies, &c. Periodicals.— The - American Exchange and Review, published by Fowler and Moon: never fails to comprise an excellent list of mis cellaneous articles, in addition to the special function of tie magazine in stating the monthly commercial prospect of the country.

The Transatlantic Monthly Magazine is ready for October; it has a good illustration,aud no less than twenty-three selected articles from prominent English monthlies, a large propor tion of which are absorbing little novelettes. The Transatlantic in its meusual form is a ■brilliant and particularly readable eclectic pub lication. THE POPE ANI> THE ITALIANS. Borne Expecting tbc Italian Advance. Miss Brewster, writing from Home to the Newark Courier of the expected advance of the Italians upon Rome, says : The debates in the Italian Parliament of the 10th were very' assuring to those of us who feel like Mercutio, “ a plague o’ both your houses,” and wish for tranquillity. To be sure, the Liberals in the Senate urged most violently the “ immediate resolving of the Romau ques tion.” The Ministry replied in a very Sir Patrick O’Rourke sort of style, in which it was difficult to understand what it wished to say and what it meant to do. At all events, it did not mean to give orders to the troops to march on Rome. So tranquillity was restored ; but several days passed before the aristocratic tin coffer left its humble place of refuge ; indeed, it hardly feels safe now', and is ready at any moment, with all the nearness of aristocracy in danger, to hob-nob familiarly with pots' kettles and pans. The Italian Ministry do not seem to have decided upon any positive programme; it re mains inactive, watches the parties of the Right and Left and looks out for an occasion to act. As poor Macbeth, it, is “Letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would.’ ” . ~ “Like the poor cat i’ the adage.” It seems to imagine that in the Congress which will be called at the end of this horrible massacre, the Franco-Prussian war, this diffi cult problem, the “Roman question,” will be resolved to the advantage of the Italiau gov ernment. This is a dangerous illusion. A Congress of nations never sanctions anything hut fatt.n amniijilis. If Italy has sufficient strength to find the solution of this spliyux question before the Congress meets, all that the Congress can do will bo to accept the ac complished act. Mow is the moment, if ever, to take possossiou of Rome, and a less con scientious Ministry, I fancy, would act upon the old Roman maxim Snlv.s repnhlu-us su preme lex. But the Lanza, Visoouli-Venosta Ministry will noL. The main portion of the Roman inhabitants is perfectly indifferent. Every one is pleased to have the French occupation over,and almost every Roman prefers Italian protection to for eign. But that which the, Romans desire most is to see.the city trauquil, so as the “ strangers outside the gales” who come in the winter,and rent expensive lodgings, buy bronzes, mosaics, old and new pictures, may not be prevented from making their annual visits. Keepers of hotels and furnished lodgings are cleaning tip their houses, building new - suites of apart ments and refurnishing ; the store-keepers are busy preparing new attractions or making over old favorites. A dull winter is dreaded more than Italians or “Reds,” certainly as much. They do'not wish the Pope to leave Rome, be . cause the ceremonies of-ofefetffifeh" attract ?'as many visitors as the public galleries and fancy " fibops. 'Neither the Florentines of Romans wish Rome to be the capital. To make it so would ruin Florence and be no help to Rome. Rome has enough attractions already, and the Pope is a very good Institution, they think, _ This is a practical day, and the Romans are a very prosaic set of people. . There is little par triotismamong them. The city lias become like a large watering place, and even its princes add to their incomes by letting out parts of their' palacesdoThe barbarians. ' Eo wlkuT one regards the Roman question from all these perplexing sides it can be seen that it is no easy one for the Italian ministry to solve. - The Court of the Vatican seems to have de- elded upon waiting for the course of events. sAt. first, some'of the. Cardinals consented] speedy retreat to Malta. At one of tho meetr-- togs of the Sacmd Cqliege latbly, ; -Cardinal;Antonefii repMqd'tS this counsel| . fit; . ; 4 *)But item leaving jßome ~ve)ry^eflgy, •: tu)<t safe'* returning townie,) h<wv;ovfcFi \ ;• impossible.”' ’ ( ?if ijJ L''*v. . . And the 'Pope, it is reported, said :. . ■ : “Happeriwbat may, I shall shut myself up in the Vatican.]] ,*■ S" The promises of'protection Which the King •of Prussia gave to the Pope a few weeks ago, in the letter to his Holiness, caused a good deal of sarcastic comment in Rome, for all foreign *protection is offensive to a Roman. There ft that little spirit left at least.. On Sunday morn ing a roguish fellow patch on the opposite-side of thq-Tibes. He cut the melons in half, took out the pulp, shaped the half melons like boats, placed Hags of the Prus sian colors in them,-'marked on each oue, “ Prussian fleet for the defence of His Holi ness,” then launched the droll little flotilla on the Tiber near Porto; del Popolo, and aban doned it to the current. Along it came, floating by Rome, and, as it passed the Ripetta wharf, it attracted not only the amused attention of the crowd, but the angry notice of-the Custom House officers* These insulted officials got into a little steamer and steamed after thoinnocent but unoffending melons. The current carried the melon fleet hither and thither; the irritated doitaniers clubbed and stoned the saucy little things; the crowd-cheered and accompanied the comical marine battle along the shore, it was only when the vessel reached Ponte St. Angelo that the officers succeeded in capturing the last of the insulting Watermelon ships, Although the Government showed some little neglect of the National fete day of France, the 15th of August, it made full amends to day, which was Ihc fetc of St. Louis IX., King of France. This festival was "celebrated with ' “great - pomp —this - morning—at— the-national churcb, St. Louis dei Frqncese, and this after noon at six o’clock the Pope went in fine state to the churcli, where he was received by the Whole French Embassy with full diplomatic ceremony. Holy Father adored the Blessed Sacrament at the Altarof St, Louis, then went - "intQ'qiie sacristy of “the - church,- where -he -re- ■ ceived the clergy attached to the church, the French Embassy - and some, other persons of ■distinction. THE DEFENCES OF PARIS. Montmartre ami Tlllette—-The Plain of St. Denis—The Work of Demolition. A resident of Paris sends a letter to The Daily London 'News, on the Ist ihst., describ ing some of the defences of Paris. lie says : “ I devoted yesterday afternoon to an endeavor to form some notion of what chances Paris would have if it be attacked on the northern side. 1 first drove to Montmattre. On the hill there was a formidable battery of artillery, which would throw balls over the fortifications and sweep the plains of St. Dgnis. The driver of my fiacre told me that he lived at La Villette, and offered to drive me. through that working men's quarter. Tn its wide streets there were groups of men in blouses, and all the cabarets were full of them. 1 They are all out of work,’ said the driver ; they ask for arms to defend the city, but the Government do not dare to give them muskets, for they never would sur render them lie ore they had driven away not only the Prussians, but the Emperor also.’ At the St. Denis gate, through which we passed, everything appeared ready for an attack. Here, as at the other gates, a trench , had been cut across the road, a loopholed wall about two feet thick had been built, and earth works, resembling a species of tele depont, had been thrown up. As we emerged from them the plain of St. Denis, where Marmont with a few troops and the Parisian National Guard had held the Allies at bay in ISI4 for eight hours, lay before us. To the right was the Fort d’Aubervilliers, in front of us St. Dennis, and far off to the left the tort of Mont Valerien. AUhe villages of Anbervillieiu and Courbeyoje there were earthworks and batteries. Having heard that there "were several regiments of the I line at St. Denis, and being curious to see what i was going on there, I proceeded in that direc tion. The town has a strong rampart round it, and, like Paris, is surrounded Iby external forts. To avoid suspicion 1 drove to the cathedral, and put myself under the wing of a guardian whose business it was i to show the tombs of the Kings of France. This worthy man seemed to consider it quite ! natural that a stranger should choose this i moment for sight-seeing. Hound the outer j door of the cathedral was a group of soldiers, I and they accompanied the guardian and myself j in our tour inside. The guardian did not | spare us one word of his 1 ofttold tale,’ and my I soldier-friends appeared-to listen to every syl lable that fell from his lips with the deepest re spect. These poor fellows, who no doubt on the field of battle will tight like heroes, were as peaceful and as quiet as ii girls’ school. As we went in and out of the church, they dipped their fingers in the holy water and crossed themselves; and if by accident one of them uttered a word while we were inside, there was. a...10ud. .“hush! from the.; others. The guardian ■ told me that every day for the last week he hold shown sev eral hundred soldiers over the cathedral, and that they had all, without exception, behaved in the same orderly, decent manner. He said that there were four regiments in the town, and that for the last week regiments passing north had succeeded each other every second day. Along the main street of the town a large ditch had beeu cut, with an earthwork behind it. The ramparts were lined with cannon, and trees were being cut down and houses pulled down within the * zone militairo.’ Not only were the barracks crowded with troops, but in one of the squares a regiment was encamped under tents. From St. Denis 1 drove through Argenteuil and Courbevoie. The country in this direction is divided into market gardens and vineyards. In the gardens and the vine yauls I saw neither men nor women. lu the towns, although the shops were still open, all the houses were shut up except where Lhe furniture was being I placed in vans to be taken to Paris. AH the villas were deserted. At Courbevoie there were two reniments. I returned to Paris by Neuilly. At the gale of Neuilly the work of demolition within the inilitarv zone had com menced, and in a day or two, all the con-- deuined houses round the.'fortifications will be leveled. As I drove down the Champs Elysees, I noted the number of soldiers who were lounging and sitting about. As far as I could make out,there were three of them for every civilian. Having a little more spare time on my hands, 1 passed through Paris, arid went to the camp of St. Maur. On both sides of the road squads of conscripts in new unl foTrrrx-vv.ere being drilled. At St. Maur there was a large park of artillery and several regi ments of the line were camped'where a few days ago 1 had seen the Gardes Mobiles.” Tli©Terr»l»leUl>lttnH. Captain .leatiuerod, the correspondent of Le Temps, writing from Mezleres-Charioville, alter the battles at Metz, of the conduct of the German troops, says that the reports of the Prussian doings are necessarily much exag gerated,.but that isolated.acts ,of violence have occurred to whicli tl'iealarm felt is in some degree traceable. Here is an incident which he relates illustrative of these exaggerations: “A Prussian soldier was lying on the ground in a field : a doctor, near at hand, bandaged [his wounds, “andphavitfg'flnished, was about.' to mount his horse, when a Uhlan came up 1 and shot him through the head with a pistol, 1 Enormous as this, seems, it must bo true, for I everywhere I have heard the same story.- One- pmT.ADELFHIA SEPTEMBER 19, 1870. •o£my..informants joras.an olddragoon :,ofetfee j Guhrd, one of the rare survivors of, his regi ment, which was annihilated ini t]jio;hattle.;of -the 16th. ‘We have been' crushed,’ hd 'said, ‘hut. “each one of us had struck down 3; and now, ;since they have fired more quarter!

Moiuited upon excellent horsfes; fohr or : five of them arrive in a village, anffthe/whole canton knows that evening that the Prussians have ar rived, though the corps d’arihte . may be 15 kilometers off. But that' is unknown ; aud hence the dread of firing upon these four or five Ulilans, lest, lor a single enemy; thus dis patched, a whole commune might be put to lire and sword. So much for the terror pro duced by Prussian arms ; but they also know liow to caress the people. ’ In the feu . irons of Metz, nothing is spoken of blit the Prussian or ganization and thefacility with which itadapts it self, for the moment, to the local customs of the country that is invaded. They have even gone so far as to promise to the employes of the Sarreguemiues Railroad to maintain them on their present footing, though this is very su perior to thf rendition of similar employes in Rhenish Prussia. In the towns, small and large, wherever their conduct will be talked of, the same dexterous handling is shown. Half from policy, half from natural, inclination, the conduct of the enemy in certain localities has left nothing to be complained of. As against the villages burnt ou the hills of Gravelotte, Other cases are cited where the : inhabitants -were quickly-reassured. A^youug.peasant girl said before me that it was very wrong to be frightened; that the enemy had been very gen tle and bad Taken nothing, but contented themselves with asking'for what, they wanted, and paying what was aSked. And the peasant girl added one thing which was very sad, hut which ought to he. made. kuowu: ‘Our own soldiers did a great deal more mis chief.’.’” ' ' ' - LITERARY ITEMS. —A literary correspondent of the New Or leans Sunday Times solves the : question con sidering the origin of the two hitherto untrace able quotations, which -have- puzzled literary circles in the Crescent City as well as in the the North, viz.: “ Consistency’s a jewel,” arid •‘ tho’ lost to sight to memory dear.” The first appeared originally in Mnrtagh’s .Collection of Ancient English and Scotch Ballads, 2754. In the ballad of “ Jolly Bobyn Roughhead” is the following lines in which it appears: “Tush! tush my lassie Ranch thoughts resigne Comparisons are cruell, • Fine pictures suit in frames as fine, Consistencie’s a jewel. For thee and me coarse clothes are best; Rude folks in homelve raiment drest, "Wife Joan and goodman Robyn.” The second first appeared in verses written in an old memoranduth book the author not recollected: “ Sweetheart, good bye! the flutteringsail Is spread to waft me far from thee, And soon before the fav’ring gale, My ship shall bound upon the sea. Perchance, all desolate and forlorn, These eyes shall miss thee many a year, But unforgotten in every charm- Though lost to sight to memory dear.” —The trustees of the National Portrait Gallery, have just purchased Ary Scheffer’s likeness of Mr. Dickens, which was painted in 1855, Mr. Dickens then being 43 years old. it is described : “The countenance is manly and vigorous, with deep brown hair, a happy me dium between the showy youth with exuber ant locks, as painted by Maclise,and the rugged countenance with grisly “beardy of bis latest period ; the face is’seeu in three-quarters, look ing over his left shoulder; the bauds are joined on the opposite side.” —The new tale upon which it is announced that Sir E. Bulwer Lytton is engaged, will in all probability appear in this country in the pages of Lippincott’s Magazine,” and in England in Blackwood. GOVERNMENT SALE. Reveeue cutter at public auc tion.

[Note.—Villeneuvo is on the Orleans Baii road, a few miles from Paris.] The—press-of Paris, -without -exception, is I opposed to tile restoration of the Bonapartes. The government at Tours receives assu rances from every quarter that the people are I ai miog and hastening to places of rendezvous, j London, Sept, 18—[Special to the York York Tribune.] —Nothing'is officially known in Loudon of the- reported armistice, and the rumor is absolutely without foundation. The interview between Bismarck and Favre will probably take place, Bismarck having de clared his readiness to receive him, but the same despatch says that while he lias no ob jection to a conversation with the titular —French Minister,the lauer must. be prepared L to’accept Germany’s' terms, or the interview will be useless. Germany does not feel in a position where I she can be called upon by neutrals, or appealed to by the French to renounce the material guarantees essential to her future security, and sufficient to protect her-against even a distant renewal of such an attempt ,on the part of France as has just failed. Considering, also, that nothing is to be gained, but much may be lost by a temporary suspension of arms, Bis marck says he will negotiate for peace, but not for an armistice. .. “ lie adds privately that he is well aware to what a degree of unpopularity a French Minis ter assenting to the necessary terms of peace must expose himself, but that it is not the fault of the Germans. If Favre expects his mission to - he fruitful he must.be prepared to sacrifice his party to his country. ] The British Foreign Office announces that messages have been transmitted, during the last ten days,by her Majesty’s Government from the belligerents to one another,through Lord Lyons and through Count Bemstorfi. j Favre. has determined to go immediately to the German headquarters. No basis for negotiation has been agreed upon. London, Sept. 17.—A special correspondent with the French fleet writes that the sailors ex press much satisfaction at. the prospect of the raising of the blockade and their return to some point where active service will be possible. When the fleet left Cherbourg, the Minister of Marine gave to Admiral Willamuez positive promise that not alone should several armor clad ships folio,w him at brief intervals, but, what was of first importance, that a fleet of transports would speedily join him, conveying a force of thirty or forty thousand troops for land operations. The promise has been broken in both in stances, and the fleet left to its uuaided resour ces, which have been barely sufficient to main tain a blockade of- the enemy’s ports. Such -servic- is--'tedious and • unsatisfactory, Our situation is in dangerous water, abounding in hidden reefs and shallows. There are no friendly lights to give warning in'the night; no buoys to serve as marks for guide by day, while we are compelled constantly to guard against surprises; by the eriemy, with small means for retaliation in open ports. We are forbidden to attack fortresses, and could not do so with the slightest prospect of success, as the heavy iron-clads, draw from twenty-three to twenty-eight feet of water, with the exception of the Itochambeau, which com bines a formidable armament with compara tively small draught. But little can be done with a Bingle ’ship. We might attack Kiel. But to what purpose ? The forts commanding the entrance are lo cated so high that it would be almost impossi ble to elevate guns sufficiently to' effect any thing, while ships would be exposed to a de structive downward fire. Escaping this, they would encounter more formidable obstacles In the bay, whiohds filled with torpedoes, and made tinnavigable by the sinking of vessels connected with Chain cables, ; leaving only a narrow, and tortuous channel, through which only the smallest 1 craft to pick their way. \ • .•,;. V such circumstances it would be mad ness to attempt to penetrate far enough to bombard the -town and capture a few wooden men of war. It would have been a piece of senseless temerity* and probably resulting in another German triumph.

' t : ' Mr. Washbure expressed great indignation at the rejection of all overtures by Bismarck. The action of the neutral powers has thus far been completely-paralyzed by England’s refusal to recognize the the Provisional Govern ment. Berlin, Sept;; 18—Evening—[Special to the New . York: Tribune.] —The King’s head quarters are still at Meaux. The investment of Paris is proceeding successfully and rapidly.- Tlie weather-is fine, and the troops are in the best of spirits. " The siege of Toul is pressed with the great est vigor by the combined ’infantry corps of the line and landwehr to' force a reduction at ail hazards. General Ulrich, at Strasbourg, is greatly dis couraged. His resistance grows dally feebje, and an early surrender is expected. At Metz the lines of investment are'impreg nable,butan immediate capitulation is not likely.' The'Upper Rhine" is completely o&u-' pied. - r - ; - ■•■•■ : ■ — London, Sept.

Within the last few days a great many Uhlans have been captured, all of whom pretend to have lost their horses. Two were taken on Tuesday, a great distance from their corps. - ; It lopbs'susplcioua that all these prisoners speak the French language perfectly. . I fear we shall baveauother wooden horse affair. It is most imprudent to keep Prussian prisoners in the city when the fight begins. The-com mandant of tbe Fortress of Laon has been ex onerated of the charges of blowing np the citadel. The work was done bythe guard of the. magazine, aa7Alma-veteran*-ih- : a state of patriotic exultation. ' The United States Minister has advised all Americans remaining in JParis during the siege -to stay in their apartments, but be sure to keep the American flag flying from their roofs or windows. Americans, accordingly, are taking the siege cooly, and-putting -’a chip-on their' hats, jailing for./some one to knock it off, if they dare. - - Paris?; Sept. ,17.—Well-informed : persons state that anjuterview is about to take place between Jules Favre and Count Von Bismarck, and that the former is furnished with a specific proposition. Meanwhile great activity is shown by tbe National Defence Committee’ at Touis and in all the departments. There is a more hopeful feeling at Paris to day, from an announcement that Lord Lyons has gone to tbe Prussian headquarters; and that elections for the Constituent Assembly will take place oil the 2d, instead of the 15th of October. All accounts from Paris describe the French as eager for peace.’ Cologne, Rept. 17.—The Gazelle of this city to-day has an editorial article, giving the following interesUng statistics and particulars r “ There are now before Strasbourg eighteen batteries of mortars and rifled cannon. These fire collectively more than seven thousand shots into the city every day. • Thirty car loads of munitions of war, including eight thousand quintal of iron, are thus consumed daily.” The Gazette then goes on to show how immense must be the expense of besieging Paris. Berlin, Sept. IS.—A telegram from the King’s headquarters makes a great reduction in the number of prisoners secured by the capitulation of Sedan. It states that the total number of men actually captured was only 80,060, including 30 garierals and 2,595 offi cers, 500 of whom were released on paiole. The killed and wounded were 20,000. Paris, Sept. 17, IP, M.—A messenger is just in from the front and the King’s head 1 quarters, and reports that Bismarck and the King insist on the.-permanent occupation by the Prussians of Melz and Strasbourg. In demnity is not so much a question, but the other condition is absolute. The Prus sians intend/beleaguering Paris and delaying operations, relying upon an insurrection against the Provisional Government. - • -A-correspondent- writing -from —Rheims. - oil. September 12, says I had another conversa tion with Bismarck to-day. He said positively that the,Prussian. government will not treat with any government not recognized as dejitre, and.that the only government of that kind- in France known to Prussia is the gpvemment of Napoleon, or the regency acting in his absence. *• We do not know,” he added, “ whether the whole of France, willl recognize the Republic, flow can we treat bn bo serious a matter with a Provisional Government, which may be dis avowed to-morrow.” I asked whether any English diplomatist had arrived at headquarters to try intervention, and his reply was: “1 have seen no diplomatist.” He commented sharply on the French treachery at Laon, say ing the place had capitulated, and the Prussians had entered without any opposition; and then a French artilleryman blew; up the magazine, killing himself 45 Prussian Jugers, and more than i)00 of the Garde Mobile. , . . Shortly afterwards I met; Count Von Ken dall, Bismarck’s counsellor, who expressed great anxiety concerning the attitude of the United States now that the French had pro claimed a Republic, saying: “We are anxious to have American sympathy on our side, but we cannot treat with such, a Republic as this.”i It is reported that Favie is expected at head quarters to negotiate personally ior peace. London, Sept. 17.—[Special despatch to the HjoWd.] —Your special at Rouen sends; word i of a sharp engagement yesterday on the line of the Orleans railway, near Corbeil, between the advance of the Prussian left wing and a body of Gardes Mobiles and francs-tireurs, supported by a detachment of the army of Paris. The Prussian cavalry were defeated on Thursday afternoon, near Guignes, and driven back on Mplun, on the Paris and Lyons railway, which town hadbeen occupied iu force on Wednes day .hi . infantry and. artillery. Yesterday .morning .column of three arms advanced from Melumupon Corbeil, fourteen miles from Pans with the; object of destroying the flour mills and seizing the granaries at that point, and to thro w forward a. party -to out the direct line of the Orleans railway, two miles further north, at Juvisyi - The second object was attained, but the Prussians having •' pushed on three miles further to Ablon, were attacked by a snperior force, and, after a severe conflict, were routed and compelled to fetreat! upon- tbei-intrench ments which they had thrpwu up ou. a hill, at .

The Ger man banner of'lB4B was carried in the proces sion, and cries were raised for a republic. The crowd was disperaed by the- police, and a few arrests were made, but no, lives, fortunately, were lost. The excitement of the people in Prague, Brutiu* and other cities of the empire is on the increase. : The walls of tile Romer, in Frankfort, were found covered, on Wednesday inorriing early,, with bilge' placards, calling on the people to preparefortlieproclamationofthe democratic social republic.- A similar placard was affixed to the main • entrance of the Paul us Kirche. The placards were printed in French and Ger man, and were headed, By order of the uni versal, /committee of the European repulic.” Groups gathered about them, and the police tore .them down p but no demonstration was made,'. " ./.-'I.. Tliere is great excitement in diplomatic cir cles here to-night over a report that an alliance between Austria, Italy and Russia had .been completed, the object of which is to be the divi sion of the Turkish empire, the annexation of Prussian Poland by litissia, the annexation of Prussian Silesia by Austria, and the surrender of the Italian Tyrol to Italy. This extraordi nary story, coupled with the news that a Prus sian demaud upoirßelgium had been met by a sharp refusal, and with the official declaration from Berlin that King William will positively ideognize no government in France but thpj,jof tlie Emperor of France and the regency, arouse tlie greatest- alann. -It is believed that Europe is’on the eve of complications more formidable and extensive than any one had dreamed of a ferw weeks ago. .'

The citadel isjsubjected to an incessant fire, and its princi pal.gate has been destroyed. There is a breach in’ the walls on the Kiebl side,and many houses neat- the citadel have been fired. -Newv.batteries open daily, and four guns'are now in position. The garrisonfire is weak, and some times it ceases for hours. No effort is made to icrpair the damaged outworks. Desperate efforts are made to convey ammunition into the city, arid boats are frequently captured. Another underground telegraph wire has been discovered leading to Colniar.' , ’London, Sept. 18.—A correspondent-at-Ber- iin sends an extract from a letter by General Sheridan, dated Rheiras, Sept. 8. He says: “ There seems to be little of the -war-left, ex cept the siege of Paris, and that will not save France. It is possible that the French troops have not done as well as l think they might have done on one or two. occasions—which 1 witnessed, from the fact that the poor fellows found themselves so badly handled by their commanders that they could see no equivalent to’bfe obtained by the sacrifice of their lives. Aisoldier wants success where many lives have to be sacrificed, and French generalship pot tlds out of the question in every battle which I have witnessed.” ;Tne same correspondent writes on Septem ber 15 : “The plan of operations against Paris isjthat the French being unable to oppose the Germans with any considerable army in the field, the .Seine will be crossed by successive divisions to attack the weakest part of the fortifications —those on the south front. Ele vations exist on that side from which an elfective fire can be opened on the French fofts. During the first few days the Germans will be occupied in preparing their canton ments and reconnoitering, and the investment, so far as practicable, will follow immediately. ■“ The communications on the north are already cutoff, and those on all other sides will soon be. There will be no delay dow r n to the, moment when the peace or an armistice is actually signed, which is not anticipated before the city falls.” " "The' rinderpest has appearediu agreat num ber of places, including Berlin, and is spreading rapidly, notwithstanding vigorous efforts to cli*eck it. The typhus fever and dysentery pre vail among the Prussians at Metz and Stras bourg. and it is feared the diseases Are becom ing epidemic. Bismarck has sent a waj'ging.to the Inde pendence Journal, of ltheims, to the effect that it must change its tone or it will be suppressed. The Paris press protests with indignation against the act as an interference with the in tef-nal affairs of France, as well as a violation of, the freedom of the press.. Tbe Tobacco. Dr. Bussell tells a good story of French w{t and Prussian practicality. Thereis a great to|>acco manufactory in Nancy, on which the descended with irresistible elan. Cigars and tobacco, which they consider a ne cessary of life, were seized, at-once, and all was needed to be done was to carry the treasure off'. The director made his bow, took, perhaps, a pinch of. snuff', and said, with a salute, “ Apparently, M. de Colonel has for gotten something ?” “What.?’? “ There is a quantity of tobacco in leaf which he has not beten good enough. to, notice. Will he not kindly take charge of it?” “Oh, dear no!” said the Prussian“ set to work, at once and manufacture it.’, We will pay the workpeople.” COAL AND WOOD.
