PROSPECTS OF PEACE. Four Powers have already recognised the French Republic, the United States, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain. A despatch from Prague says that the United States have done more. They have en treated the Prussian Government to cease a war, which has no longer an object since Ming William and the Crown Prince have openly said they do not make war on the French Government. The W ash ington Cabinet went so far as to say thit it could not remain indifferent to the effusion of blood in a country whose Constitution resembled their own. This news, says the despatch, has produced im mense excitement in diplomatic circles. Belgium, says the Constitutionnel, is about to recognise the new French Government officially. The Times:publishes the following telegram fromits correspondent at Philadelphia:—;‘ At Washington on Friday a Cabinet meeting, at which the President was present, was held to consider a despatch from Mr. Bancroft, the Minister at Berlin, relative to American intervention. Mr. Bancroft was advised that, while the United States, to avoid all appearance of a desire to intervene in European affairs, cannot act thus in con nexion with other nations, yet if their good offices were requested by , the bellige rents the United States will be happy to give them to aid in securing peace between Powers with which we have traditional friendship. A. correspondent telegraphs to the Daily News from Paris :—" Since the overtures which were made by Austria to obtain from Prussia an armistice upon the basis of territorial integrity, it is understood that Russia has offered her services to the French Govern ment, and that at present she is taking aotive steps in the interests of peace." PRUSSIA AND ITALY. The Vienna correspondent of the Standard sends the following telegram —" Prussia has menac ingly protested against the forcible oc cupation of Roman territory in Italy ; hence the delay in Austria's recognition of the French Republic, which only awaits • that of the other Great Powers. Diplomatic action in favour of peace is here deemed Impossible at present. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE MARCH ON PARIS.

Senor Oloza a, the Spanish Ambassador here, has written a letter, dated September 1, to M. Jules Favre, in which he states that he has received in structions from his Government to keep up official relations with the Government of the Republic. M. Jules Favre, in his reply, dated yesterday, to Senor Oloiaga, says : " It is precisely at this cruel moment for France that we see clearly manifested the wisdom whioh would join in one single tie three nations that really form but one family, and awaiting only the signal of liberty to recover their family titles."

(By Cable.) NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 10. The New York Herald, New York Times, and other prominent journals urge President Grant tt tender the mediation of the United States between Germany and France.

The troops will leave these populations at liberty to carry on their own public administra tion, and wail take no part in acts that may pre judge any political or ecclesiastical questionwhatever.

Riel and his chief followers are hiding. HALIFAX, SEPTEMBER 9. The Inman Royal Mail Steamer Etna arrived here at 3 a,m. to-day. METROPOLITAN ME AT MARKET. The severe gales that have prevailed during the past two or three days have prevented the arrival of any Dutch or Spanish boats, and the supplies of foreign stock on sale here to-day were accordingly limited. This is no way to be attributed to the blockade, which so far has exercised little or no influence upon the trade. Large arrivals of both beasts and sheep will take place to-day and to-morrow, and these will be available for next Thursday's market. Meantime prices of all kinds of meat ruled ex ceptionally high ; but the rates current were owing to the circumstances temporarily affecting the market. There were moderate supplies of stock from our own grazing districts, but the condition of the beasts was not good owing to the scarcity of food. It was more particularly the case with the arrivals from Lincolnshire, there being very general complaints made by the butchers that the beasts do not come well to the knife. There were, however, some very excellent Scots and Herefords s,xhibited. Owing to the scanty supplies butchers were compelled to pay the prices demanded, which showed an advance of 4d. per Sibs. on last Monday's currencies, and an early clearance of all prime beef was effected. The top quotation for choice Scots and Crosses was 6s. per Sibs. The sheep market was thinly supplied. Choice animals on offer commanded an advance of 4d., the top price being 6s. per 8 lbs.

A summons was taken out against the prisoner, but he removed so as to avoid the service of it, and a warrant was then applied for, and on the prisoner going back to live at the house he had left he was taken into custody. In reply to Mr. Knox, one of the con stables (Lethbridge) said the prisoner struck the horse at least 30 times, the horse, which was drawing a large drag, going at the time 14 miles an hour. The prisoner was com mitted for a month with hard labour. WHOLESALE UTTERING OF COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Ellen Watson and Wm. Harris (previously convicted) cohabit ing as man and wife, were charged at Westminster Police court with uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing it to be base and counterfeit. The evidence was very concise. On the night of Saturday, for two weeks, the two prisoners went into a beershop in Rochester Row, kept by a Mr. Robert Hill, and foisted off a bad half-crown ; on Saturday night the woman again visited Mr. Hill's and tendered another bad half-crown, same mould and date as the other ; the police were sent for, and the woman locked up by Sergeant White. Two other detectives then went and apprehended the man in Peter street, Westminster, and on searching his room the door was found smashed in, and the place ransacked, the sup position being that the friends of the prisoners had re moved any further traces of their guilt. Male prisoner resisted very much on the way to the station, but was identified by Mrs. Hill and her lodger. They denied the charge, but it was stated that further evidence could be given connecting them with each other by a conversation between them in the police cells. They were remanded for a week. • her Majesty the Queen, who at the first contri buted £5OO to the funds, has now graciously become patroness of the Society for Aid to the Sick and Wounded in War.

On a piece of her stern which was floating about were the words "New York." &CCIDENT ON BOARD H.M.S. INCONSTANT. Whilst the Inconstant was on her way to England with despatches relative to the loss of the Captain, and when off the Lizard, in consequence of the ship heeling, the pipes of the boilers became red hot, igniting the feet packing round them. Some time elapsed before the flames were extinguished, and the engines were stopped for two hours. On Friday the guns of the Inconstant were being exercised, when the after pivot gun fetched away, throwing the men who were attending the falls off them. Whe gun- swung round, and there being no one there to stop its course, it knocked down Private !Samuel Shattock, aged 22, of the Royal Marine Artillery, killing him instantaneously. Deceased was a native of Taunton. ATTEMPTED MURDER AT MANCHESTER. A man named John Peacock, just returned to England after many years' residence in California, went to lodge at Austin's lodging house, in Shepley-street , London-road, Manchester, where a licensed victualler named John Plant, landlord of the Stag Inn, Stafford-street, Derby, was already lodging. At one o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Austin heard the report of &earths, and sought the police, who, when they arrived at the house found Plant lying near Peacock's bedroom severely wounded. It tran spired that Peacock, who had in his possession 10,500 dollars in paper, and £9O in gold, wrapped round his body, had fastened his room door when Plant, by some mistake it is supposed, under the influence of drink, burst it open, and Peacock, who states that he usually sleeps with a revolver under his pillow, and who also had in his possession a dagger, fired at him, the ball passing through the man's arm, and then glancing to the body. Plant was taken to the Infir mary, and is in such a state that a magistrate was sent for, who took his deposition. Peacock was taken into custody, and from his behaviour it is believed that he is labouring under some hallucination. A MUSIC HALL DESTROYED BY FIRE. On Saturday at midnight the Friendly Societies' Hall, Grimsby, some months since converted into a music hall, was discovered to be on fire. The roof and the whole of the interior were speedily consumed, only the walls remaining. The performance had just concluded. No person was injured. On Friday night,with the wind blowing a fresh gale from the west, the James schooner, of Harwich, from Hartlepool, coal laden, sprung a leak, parted from her anchor ia Yarmouth Roads, and sunk in seven fathoms. The crew were saved by their boat. At Bramstone, the seat of Captain Pochin, about midnight on Friday, the keepers were attacked by eighteen poachers. A severe fight took place. The watcher, William Smith, and the head-keepers, Samuel Ford, have been seriously injured in the head. The prisoners were apprehended by the borough police, while they were entering the town. They were brought before the magistrate to-day and remanded. LETTER FROM MARSHAL MACMAHON. Marshal MacMahon, who has been residing at Pouru aux-Bois, near Bouillon, at the chateau of the Mayor, has sent to the Organe of Namur the following interesting note :—" Marshal MacMahon was wounded on the lit of September, at six in the morning, at the very commence ment of the last battle, in which he held no command. It was by order of the Minister of War, Comte de Palikao, and of the Committee of Defence that he executed the march which proved so fatal to the arms of France. This is what infallibly happens when people take upon them to direct the movements of distant armies from the closet. In these circumstances one can draw up a general plan, but one cannot descend to details ; and this is what Gen, Cousin de Montauban forgot. Marshal MacMahon's in tention was to fall back on Paris, after having reorganised the army so unfortunately undone at Sedan. He was not permitted to accomplish his wise project. As soon as the state of his health will permit Marshal MacMahon will not fail to publish proofs that he cannot be considered re sponsible for the immense disaster, at Sedan. Between a vretorious army and the frontier of a neutral nation thaw ) was no escape if aft accident occurred." MAIL NEWS.

OUR OOTEMPORARMS—This Morning THE REPUBLIC AND THE LATIN NATIONALITIES. The Times, comments on the reply of M. Jules Favre to the Spanish Minister, that " the wisdom was clearly manifested which would join in one single tie three nations that really form but one family, and awaited only the signal of liberty to recover their family titles." The Times says these un necessary remarks seem full of imprudence. It is in the highest degree impolitic at the present juncture to draw a line of distinction between the Latin and the Teutonic nations, and the Foreign Minister of France should, above all, be anxious not to place himself in antagonism to all of German descent. To array people against people is an offence against civilisation, and the Provisional Govern ment had expressly disclaimed animosity against the German nation when they attempted to fasten the dis credit of the war on the dethroned Emperor. It is not less imprudent to suggest that "the signal of liberty" is waited for either in Spain or in Italy. The destinies of Spain are entirely under the control of the Cortes, freely elected by the people, and Italy enjoys perfect self-government under a Parlia mentary Constitution. The propagandism of the First Republic raised up enemies, who oontributed with internal causes to work its downfall ; it is probable that if the Third Republic should attempt to impress its principles on foreign communities, England, at all events, would not be moved by it; but it is dangerous to excite nations less firmly settled, and un wise to suggest changes to others before anything is com pleted at home. ENGLISH SENTIMENTALITY. The Daily News points out the sentiment which enters into the consideration of Englishmen in deciding the right or the wrong between France and Germany, and remarks that Lord Bury is described as having told his constituents to bear in mind when awarding their sympathies that France had stood by us dur ing the Crimean war, while Prussia held aloof. Now, it cannot be too strongly urged upon the Lfinglib'h public that this present dispute is to be judged upon its own merits, and that to take sides in the controversy is either foolish or immoral \unless we have some substantial reason for our championship. Of course, there never was in the history of the world any quarrel in which all the right was on the one side, and all the wrong on the other. But the preponderance of right or wrong in this present controversy is no more affected by what Prussia did or did not do in the Crimean war, or in the great war against the First Napoleon, in which she fought side by side with England, than it is by the conduct of Frederick the Great or Charles the Fifth. There is especial reason to dread senti mentalism in our English judgment of foreign questions. Nine out of every ten Englishmen who sympathised with the Southern Confederates did so because they thought Southerners, more especially Virginians, were fine high bred fellows, while the Yankees were traders and shop keepers of uncouth appearance and unpolished manners. Nearly all the popular sympathy given to the Danes during the war for Schleswig-Holstein might be traced to the fact that their nation was little and plucky, and that the Princess of Wales, although really no more a Dane than Count Bismarck, was officially and poetically regarded as a daughter of Denmark. So in the war be tween Austria and Prussia. It was enough for the ordi nary Englishman to know that Austrian officers are polite and pleasant, while Prussians are often a little rough ; that Vienna is a charming city to spend a holiday in, while Berlin is rather austere and dull. These important and appropriate considerations disposed of his intelligent sympathies. We begin to think there is some danger of the sentiments of the British public being carried away in somewhat the same fashion at the present moment. PROBABILITY OF PEACE. The Daily Telegraph remarks that desperate as the situation is, stern and determined as the Prussian ad vance continues, public opinion has not yet given up hopes of peace. Reports are rife of negotiation towards that most desirable issue. We are told, with more or less plausibility, of efforts on the part of certain neutral Powers, and it is yet possible, whether probable or not, that the dreadful necessity of besieging Paris may be averted. Perhaps the most promising sign of all is the changed tone of the Parisian journals. During the last few days they have silently recognised the truth of the situation, by substituting discussions upon the question of a settlement for those wild and foolish manifestoes of "no surrender " which gave the best friends of France so much apprehension. This has resulted from two causes —one, the better perception of the overwhelming military calamity sustained at Sedan ; and the other, the wise desire to save the new Republic from the terrible ne cessity of prosecuting an almost hopeless struggle. It is now known that war records no single catastrophe of arms which can be compared for overwhelming dimen sions with the capitulation of MacMahon. The wounded Marshal himself is reported to have pronounced it "an immense disaster, fatal to the arms of France ;" and every fresh detail ccrnfirms that view. We are now in. formed officially, that the number of prisoners surren dered at Sedan was 83,000, including 4,000 officers ; which, with 25,000 captured in the battles and 14,000 wounded, gives the extraordinary total of 122,000 men fallen into the hands of the King. The conqueror also took 70 mitrailleuses, 330 field pieces, and 150 sieg9 guns, 10,000 horses, and a vast quantity of war material. No nation can recover from a blow like this without a long interval ; and the French must also be prepared tq learn, at any moment, that Bazaine has surrendered, and that Strasburg has fallen. ENGLISH MEDIATION. The" Standard asks the questions, Is this the time fqr England to be wrapt in selfish lethargy? Do we really believe it to be our national duty to look on calmly white France and Germany are tearing each others' throats, Is this the result of our boasted Liberalism? Is this how we interpret that gospel of peace which we have accepted ? Is this our blessed principle of non, intervention, our glorious economy, our high Liberal humanity? Must we let the war then be fought out to the bitter end, leaving the strongest in arms to win, aqg to take by force whatever he desires ? not now, when is the time for interference? In pursuing such a course as the present, do we promote the cause of peace, of right, of humanity, even of any of those petty objects to which we have pledged ourselves? What is the ground—the motive of our present policy ? Let us hear it if there is . . • It is not very honourable. Is it then econo ? It is not very chivalrous. Is it then profs e? It will not make us any more respected. Will it make us any richer or safer? Admitting that we are a commercial people, that our sole consideration is and should be to look after the ledger and the money bags—do we administer even to tills purpose, by keeping aloof from the war between France and Germany—by holding it to be no bad ' ness of ours—by letting it be fought out, until either one of the parties becomes absolutely a t - . mount, or both are ruined and impoverished ? ting the matter on the very lowest ground, is it to our interest that France should utterly perish—that Germany should be the undisputed master of Europe—. that they should go on fighting and injuring each other until the contest ends in a mutual annihilation ? The Standard considers that intervention is our duty as well as our right. It is a duty which England cannot evade just now without sinking for ever below the opinion of the world—without sacrificing all that is most precious to a nation—its honour as well as its interest—its good name, its power, its existence. THE ROMAN QUESTION. The Manchester Examiner, in considering the Roman question, after pointing out that assistance or otherewise Italy is likely to receive from other nations, remarks that obvious consideration of prudence must induce Italian statesmen to take the settlement of the question into their own hands. If they act with promptitude they may make the satisfaction of the national desires a source of strength and a new pledge for the tranquillity of the country. 13y procrastination and hesitation, they will allow matters to fall into the hands of agitators, and men of extreme opinions. If they leave to Re publicans the credit of liberating the Romans, and associating their principles with the last and convincing stage in the making of Italy they may convert discontent into disorder, and ripen the maturity of a revolution, le seeds of which are but too abundantly scattered around em.
