LONDON, Friday, Oct. 7th, . .1870 —IA special
correspondent at Berlin telegraPheon the 6th
inst° the following circular of Vount, Bismarck
to the Foreign ilepresentatives of the North
Gerinari Confederation
S'EnntEar..", Saturday, Oct.l,lB7o.—Fronri rep2rte in
the public journals it appears that the delegation of the
French Government in Tours have otficjallly an-
nounced that I had declared to. ht. Favre thati Prussia
would continue war ini order to reduce Fran& to the
condition of a Power of the second rank. ;Although
such an expression could only be intended to
influence a circle unacquainted with. the lan
guage used in international negotiations, and
Ignorant of the geography of France. still the cir
cumstance that this official announcement bears the
rignaturi s of Messrs. Crendeux, Glais-Bizoiii and
rduriblion, gi.ntlemen belonging to the I Governrt of
a great European poser. induces me:to risque your
Excellency to put it in a proper light in your official in
tercourse.
In my interview with Di. Fevre, the question of peace
seas not formally considered. At his repeated request I
erniniunicated to the French Minister. in general ent
line, the Falb , v iewa.which formed the principal to pie
of the circular dated Id eunx, September IC. De:ma ode
exce:ding those therein contained have never yet iu
any way been made by me.
The COdS101) of Strasbourg and Mete, which we seek
in territorial connection implies 11,:r0t1117tiult of - French
territory equal. in area to the- Increase through Savoy
and Niee : while the population of these provinces ob•
tained from Italy has made that of France 760.090 larger.
When it is considered that France, according to Ora con •
EUB of 1866, numbered 38,060,000 inhabitants without
A/giera. and with Algiers ( now tarnishing an essential
part of the French war forces), 42.000,600, it is palpable
_that a deereaSe of. 760000 changes nothing - in the im

witleave to this great Empire the saute elements of

these troops are Men who have home ties and
duties - aud who are chafing bitterly under the
prosnectliif an indefinite winter campaign..
It is not ID be clouted, too, that this feeling is
shared even by the officers of the regular
PitiAsian and Saxon armies. The Saxons are
especially irritated by the immitience.of a long
: and fatiguing war. Diseases-such as nostalgia
and' bad water always develop are making
serious ravages at Versailles and. Clamart.

The Gerruktn troops are,

against it openly as an outrage upon all their

reluctant tc accept so barbarous a•-contest.
The dissatisfaction among the soldierS is so
great from, all these causes'_. that
King Williame and the Crown 'Prihree
make every occasion of going persork

stories are daily published through the camps
of the demoralization and inevitable speedy
surrender of the garrison of Paris, of the help

places, the German troops are putting up

The Scenes Along the Road.
All alongtbe road taken by your courier,
at Vernon, Rouen, Amiens, Boulogne, the
people were armed. and drilling vigorously.
Of cavalry he saw no lack, at least 25,000 in
Picardy and tbe Pas-de-Calais alone, for the
most part well mounted and fairly equipped.
Of artillery he saw little, but batteries are
arriving daily at Havre and.Cherbourg, as he
understood.
Genernl Burnside
It is not true that Gen. Burnside went into
or came out of Paris as a negotiator with Jules
Favre. He went and Came simply as a bearer
of despatches to our Minister, Mr. Wash

both by the French and Germans, and be ex
pressed himself as greatly struck by the quiet
and determined air of the people of Paris.
Mr. Watilabniene to Mr. Motley..
Your courier brought despatches from Mr.
Washburn° to Mr. Motley . . These were
brought from Paris to Versailles, under a spe
cial-tlag of truce, by Mr. Curtis, of Boston.
Mr. Washburne urges Mr. Motley to exert
himself in favpr of intervention to arrest this
dreadful war, and assures him that the spirit
of the French people, as he could see for him
self were he to visit Paris, makes the idea of
conquering France ridiculous.
Paris Still Quiet.
Your special correspondent atParis, writing

not been disturbed. The people are detei=

During the Ist and 2d of October, a number
of small engagements occurred" before Paris,_
chiefly on the western and southern sides ot
the city—the ..rrench being in almost every

victorious. The policy or General Trochu

The people in the tows in the north of
France crowded arodnd the. vehicle of your

small American flag, with eager questions as
to when America would send out an expetii

and feted repeatedly. At some places the au

COAL.

Report from the Lehigh Region. ' b
The, Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette says: ,
' Shipments.
There was transported over both the rail
roads aud4the canal, south from this place, last
week 1E078.16 tons. The preceding week
there was shipped 118,371.05 tons, an increase
of 1,307.11 tons.
The corresponding week last year the ship
ments amounted to 68,1/89.00 tons, an increase
for the meek of 1870 of '51,589.07 tons.
The ll'ratlie
There is no improvement in the trade.
Coal is being sold almost as fast as it arrives
in • the . cities and ports, but there is
iiot that active demand which should charac
terize the market at this season of the year.
In 1669 anhia timo the market was helped by
the great freshet, Which advanced prices quite
materially. This year all the regions are work

Much more coal had bee i sent to mar

SUICIDE IN MAUCH CHUNK.
A Toting Meridian - I. Kills Himself.
The Mauch Chunk Ga ,
zrtte says:
Last May, Henry Schmale sold out his
store on Susquehanna street, to a young man
named Rhinehart Keefer. 31r. Keefer took
possession, and has since been doing a very
good business. On last Wednesday night he
came in at about nine o'clock and went up..
stairs. In a few moments the inmates of the
house heard two reports of a pistol in rapid
succession. Upon going to Mr. Keefer's room
they found the door locked. Entrance was
gained by means of a window, and
the unfortunate man was found lying
on the bed dead. e had shot himself almost
directly through th heart. The' suicide was
no
no doubt preeclit ed, as when Mr. Keefer
came in he went to his desk where he kept
his pistol, and going up-stairs immediately
shot himself. The weapon was found in his
Land. No cause can be assigned for the act.
His friends can
. g,ive no reason why hci• should
have taken his life. It is said that he had a
note to meet yesterday, but he had nearly
money enoughto settle it. H e has been heard
to say that ti,was sorry he bought the store,
but why he could not tell, as his business was
as good as could be expected.
THE DECREASE OF TAXES.
They Are Less Now than Under Van' B►t
ren. Polk, Pierce or Buchanan.
[From Speech of Senator Conkling at Utica.]
Tile Democratic managers everywhere be
tray a fidgetty anxiety to hurry out of sight the
party'record of-recent years,but the footprints
are indelible. The Republican party, on the
other hand, craves scrutiny of its career.- Its
record of fifteen years has been brief yet bright.
It has established political and religious lib,.
erty for all men everywhere within its reach.
It has added the Pacific Railroad,and opening
up new fields of enterprise. During all its
good work it has constantly been hindered
and assailed by its opponent; during the great
war for the Union it was never „for an hour,
free fn,n a galling fire from behind. Since the
war the party has gone quietly to 'work to re
duce the debt and the taxes. In this connect,
Conkling said : " The present Admin
istration has reduced the expenses of the Gov
ernment until they are less, per capita, than
014 have been since General Jackson's time.
For the year ending, June 30, 1870. tile last
