' : "To quiet rumors, ,the government announces semi-officially that it' persists in neutrality, anti that a Turkish War would have no connection with the present conflict. Gen.,lgnatieff is here. There are constant movements of troops ; regiments apd cannon are daily passing through. The newspapers •are all agitating - the Eastern question and urging the abrogation of the Treaty of Paris. The. Diplomatist says : Gort schak off has resolved speedily to upset it: An understanding will probably be peaceably arrived at between Gortschakoif and Bis marck.'" 'The Czar - andthe German Victories; Lamlen papers mention that the Czar, on receiving 'news of-the battle of Sedan, gave a dinner at AlmScow on the "d^ of September, when; having drank to the health of his - royal uncle of Prussia, he broke the 'glass,,accord ing to German custom, Which prescribes that none shall drink"again fram a glass which has been' used for very solemn toasts. Rumored Enlistment of Ameritan Of . deers for 'the Army of tne Czar--De. nisi by the Russian Minister. • The New York . Tribune says . : . _jt was repotte_d_in___e_ertai formed' circles, on Saturday, that agents, of the. Russian Government had arrived in this city and Were enlisting ex-6th curs of Ameri can armies forservice under the Czar. The immediate •occasion of this demand for American officers was said to - be , the organ: ization of a grand army of _lntervention, intended to be thrown in the direction of Prussia, and meantime to release other forces for the conquest b Turkey. The Czar's pen chant for - Americans; and the known. excel lence and experienCe of American officers, were assigned as among the reasons for this moyement. The circumstantial rumor even went so tar as to say that the Czar was anx ious to modify the Russian military system by • the introduction of late improvements lathe American field tactics. The Russian Minister, on inquiry as to the correctness of the story, promptly declared it 1:111fe and absurd. He says that an imposter, representing himself to be a Russian agent, has been . going about the country, lately, ask ing contributions of money to aid in the for warding of American officers to Russia. One gentleman,_ in Philadelphia, believing the story, but fearing •to trust him too far, sent r-13,000 in gold to Minister . . Curtin, in St. Petersburg, to be placed at the disposal of^the Czar should he need it for sun a purpose. The money was retirned,, and the swindler denounced. The Minister also states that all rumors to the effect thatßussia is arm ing with a view to the acquisition of territory are untrue. Russia does not want Constant inople; all she desires is peace, that she may have leisure to further her national improve ments, and complete the emancipation of the serfs and other reforms. The: possession of Turkey in Europe would disturb Russia's L eputre of gravity, and she would be threat- Mied with the fate of the Roman Empire—dis memberment. To retain the North, there fore, she is willing to forego,the acquisitio'n of . the East. IDESO OsTEN o, Oct. have from Strasbourg the news that many of the French troops'at StritS botir,on seeing the white Hag hoisted,refused to surrender their arms and threw them into the moat. The people maintain a silent,sullen attitude. Ten thousand German troops have been left as a garrisou,and are.busily repairing the citadel and public works. .40,000 troops have heen despatched to the army before Paris, the Bolden troops showing much disaffection on re ceiving their orders. The city has been greatly injured. The•books, missals, awl manuscripts of the Comumudery in the Public Library are reported to have been. preserved by storing them in the cellar of a house near the New Temple. The Cathedral. has suffered mach ; the roof of the nave has been partially burned, and the fine stained glass has been damaged in sonic of the western windows. The great tower is undergoing a careful examination. Architects from Munich have already been sent for to examine it. It is feared that the foundations have been severely shaken. The famous Frauen Haus has also suffered badly, and the Hotel de Ville. No steps 'have yet been taken to rePair the great bridge to Kehl. —World. LONDON, Oct. 2.—Your special at Boulogne telegraphs me: My officer of National Guards at poix had sonic reason for his scare. Wre have news to-night that the National Guards of the Army of Rouen had their first brush ,with the enemy yesterday, near Bonnieres, 'about forty miles from -Paris, and nearly half way to Rouen. The actiokt . yas fought in the forest of Bosny, the AN' .On the Evreux road, and on the bank of the Seine. The Ger mans advanced from Meulan, which thoy had occupied in force two days before, passed through Mantes, and were atttte:ked at Bonnieres by the Rouerilroops. The National Guard behaved very. gallantly, and for two hours had the advantage,driving the Germans back through Mautes,where many were killed in a desperate conflict on a bridge over the Seine, and nearly to Mezy, where reinforce ments ofortillery and cavalry came up to the Germans froth Meulan, and these, in their. turn resuming the offensive, drove the French hack in considerable disorder and with heavy ' loss:. At the latest advices • the Germans occupy Mantes,"the bridges Lover the Seine Maguy road, and the fanbourg of 'Away., Gommum, eatiOn is reopened; however, by Arlitens with Rotten. From TourS comes a silly rumor,that - the 'command of the Army of the Loire has been Offered 'to General Beauregard. General Elrich has arrived at Tours—with what object is not known. The news from Paris is that when the Germans summoned Fort d'Lssy, near Meudon,lo surrender, the commander„ replied that it could only be stirrendered by 111 s ,dead body.

Wi , ee I saw the Eal- ' peror," he went on, " after his . surrendprille: " himself a prisolidlr, I asked him if he was dis posed to put forward any request for :peace." The Emperor replied that he was , not in is : position _to do so, for he had left a regular government in Paris, with the Empress at,i head. Only the Imperial Government. "It is plain, therefore," continued Count Bismarck, "that if France possesses any government aWall it is still the government of the Empress as Regent or of the Emperor.". - When I asked if the flight of the Empress and of the Prince Imperial might not be regarded as an abdication, he said, very positively, he could not so construe it. The Empress bad been forced to go by the gentlemen of the pavement, as the .

The question was-Wboin does the fleet still obey % Whom does the army shut up in Metz still obey.? Perhaps Bazalne Still Recognizes the Emperor. If so, and we choose to let him go to Paris, . he and his army would be worth considerably more than the gentlemen of the pavement and the so-called government. We_do not wish to dictate to Franco her form of government; we have nothing to say to it. That is her atlitir." I pointed out that it would be extremely atilt cult for the French people at the present mo ment even to employ the means necessary for ascertaining the national will. "That is their lookout," replied hi&Excellency. " We know what we want, and that is enough for us." 4 , . t i German Conditlgns of Peace. This observation led up to what Germany will consider indispensable conditions of peace. Count Bismarck disclaimed all desire of in crease of territory or population for mere sin crease sake,and it was a nuisance to haVe Ger man subjects who speak French. "But," he continued, " the present is the twenty-fifth time in the space of a hundred years that' Prance has made war on Germany on some pretext or other. Now, at least, our, terrible' disease of divided unity being cured, we have contrived, by the help of the hand of God, to Viscid her down.. It is idle to hope to propitiate her. She would never forgive us for beating her, even it' we offered the easiest terms in the world, and forebore from asking for the ex penses of the war. • France to be Rendered Hartnies,•, She could not forgive you for - Waterloo, and it was only by accident that she did not make war uponyou on account of it.

We do not want the territory as territory, but as a glacis between her and us. Attho commencement of this war, had the Emperor dfsplayed energy, he might have attacked Southern Germany before we could have done anything. 'Why he did not do it we do not know to this day. He had au army of 1,10,000 men ready to be moved in ._ a day.
