at Hageliau, in its first number alludes to the re-
covery by Germany of Alsace and Lorraine. It
says " these provinces, when re-annexed, will 600,11
adopt German politics, being thoroughly German in
language, manners, ideas, and even in their partiality
for foreigners. They will be, moreover, only too
happy to separate from Socialistic France. '—Times

GERMANY AND THE REPUB
LICAN GOVERNMENT.

The German Press almost unanimously agrees
that it is not for Germany to make any attempt to
prescribe a Government for France. If the Re
public will agree to the terms of peace, and can
guarantee them. Count Bismark will be
found as ready to treat with M► Jules
Favre as with any other person. The Cologne
Gazette says, Germany has not the slightest intention
of attempting to set up a constitution in France.
But it must be remembered that the public has not
on its side the millions who declared for Napoleon,
and that there is at present no ground for conclud-
ing that the acts of the Provisional Ministry will ,be
endorsed by the Assembly nbout- to meet. The
North German Correspondent says that the Germans
cannot consent to a change of Government in chose
parts of France occupied by their armies, for such
an alteration would cause the greatest confusion.
The Ministry of Defence is quite ignorant as to
whether Bazaine and his army have declared for the
Republic.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
ROUEN, TUESDAY.

M. 'I hiers has written to M. Cremieux that the
English Government are well disposed to recognize
the French Republic, and willing to do all for

peace.
M. Jules Favre had to-day an iuterview with
Count Bismarck.

The Etoile Beige says that Mr. Wallet, of the
Foreign-office, was sent by Lord Lyons to the head-
quarters of the King of Prussia to arrange the nego-
tiations of a peace, he was the bearer of a note
which stipulated that the preservation of the in-
tegrity of the French territory was a sine qua non
in any conditions to be considered. Lord Lyons did
not take any fears in the affair himself, except in
the capacity of agent. King William, it is said, in-
sisted on the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine,
and no armistice was agreed upon.

COUNT BISMARCK'S
OBJECTIONS.

The negotiations between Count Bismarck and
M. Jules Favre are carried on at Ferriere, a beautiful
country seat of Baron Rothschild's, at some miles'
distant from Paris. The Plenipotentiaries have as
yet treated only upon the question as to how the
terms of agreement should be approved by an
Assembly on the part of France.
BERLIN, SEPT. 21.

The American Minister here learns on authority
that M. Jules Favre, who will be received in his
private capacity only, will be informed by Count
Bismarck that Germany must insist, as a condition
sine quei non of peace, upon obtaining possession of
those French fortresses on the Moselle and the
Rhine from which Germany has been so long
threatened.—Dail! News Telegram.

PRUSSIAN VICTORY NEAR
PARIS.

BERLIN, SEPT. 21.

The following telegram has been received from
he Royal Head-Quarters :

" SEPT. 20.

'• After the preparatory movements of the last few
days, all our corps on the 19th advanced simultane-
ously and completely surrounded Paris. The King
on the same day reconnoitred the north-east front
of the fortifications of the French capital."
The Crown Prince telegraphed to the Queen from
Versailles on the 20th inst.:—

"My army has to-day invested Paris from Ver-
sailles to the neighbourhood of Vincennes. The
enemy was repulsed, and a redoubt with seven guns
was taken. Our losses were inconsiderable."

The following are extracts from the King's tele-
grams to the Queen, dated September 20:—
"Yesterday morning I received the report that
the enemy had abandoned his position near Pierre-
fitte, north of St. Denis, on the appearance of our
troops.
" Yesterday afternoon our Fifth Corps and the
Second Bavarian Corps, after crossing the Seine
at Villeneuve St. George, south of Paris, attacked
three Divisions of General Vinoy on the heights of
Sceaux, and repulsed them, taking seven guns and
many prisoners. My 7th Regiment again had a
good many dead and wounded. Fritz was present.
The weather was excellent all last week."

[GERMAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.]
FERRIERES, SEPT. 21 (10.45 A.M.

Two slight engagements took place on the 17th
and 18th instant, and yesterday the French, with
three divisions, made an advance south of Paris, but
were completely routed and thrown back on the
capital, losing seven cannons and from 2,000 to 3,000
prisoners.

THE FRENCH FLEET.
DUNKIRK, SEPT. 21 (Evening).
The French fleet is cruising off Calais, and three
ron-clads are here.

REPULSE AT TOURS.

TOURS, SEPT. 21 (4.50 p.m.)

Advices from Colmar, dated yesterday evening,
state that the enemy has completely evacuated
the Department of the Upper Rhine. Mulhouse
is quiet, and if the Baden soldiers come back
they will find the population ready for a vigorous
resistance.

EPERNAY, SEPT. 20 (Evening).

Toul was vigorously attacked yesterday. It was
asserted that the enemy was repulsed, and that
the Prussian guns were dismounted and broken.

ORLEANS, SEPT. 21.

Advfces from the Department of the Seine-et-
Marne state that the Prussians have suffered two
defeats—one at Athis and Mons, and the other in the
neighbourhood of Lagny.
MANS, SEPT. 20 (EVENING).
Travellers coming from the neighbourhood of
Versailles assert that the Prussians were dafeated
on the 19th inst. on the plain of Meudon, near
Sevres, and suffered very considerable losses, in-
cluding several guns. This news, however, seems
doubtful, as General Vinoy, who commanis the
troops, would have found means to communicate the
intelligence to the Government. An action is im-
pending.

CALCUTTA, SEPT. 22.
The profit of the currency department for the year

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
EMBEZZLEMENT OF £1,179 BY A CASHIER.
At Abergavenny, yesterday, Walter Bunn, late cashier
of the Abergavenny branch of the National Bank, was
brought before the magistrates, charged with embezzling
£1,179. The prisoner is a married man, with a family,
and respectably connected. His father is a retired Inne-
pendent minister, a former secretary of the Congrega-
tional Association for Monmouthshire. It appeared that
the misappropriation took place while the manager was
absent, and the defalcations were discovered by the sub-
manager. The prisoner having threatened to commit
, suicide was immediately given into custody. He has
been led into difficulties by turf speculations. He was

MONEY MARKET.

CITY, Two o'CLocR

Business on the Stock Exchange is quite as dull as
yesterday, but a feeling is gaining, ground that peace will
be eventually obtained. Conssl; quiet at 92i to 92a ;

The large amount of silver received from India by the
last overland mail (2400,000) has been disposed of. The

It is expected that the Bank return for the week will
show a total of bullion in excess of any previously held
during the past two years, and considerably beyond that
of August, 1869, when the rate of discount was reduced
to 2i per cent. Although the influence of the quarterly
revenue and other payments in contracting the currency
in the hands of the publio must now operate until the
disbursement of the October dividends, it is believed that
at the present minimum rate of 3 per cent. scarcely any
business is transacted.

The day and night mail trains and boats continue to
run between London and Calais, and there exist the usual
day services between Folkestone and Boulogne. The
French and English mails will still be forwarded
by the Calais route, and there is understood to be no diffi-
culty in reaching Rouen, Le Mars, Tours, and the north-
western provinces of France with safety, either by Calais
or Boulogne. The South-Eastern Company, it is stated,
will run trains When necessary between Folkestone and
London.

At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Thomas Jolly,
Son, and Co., of.Accrington, a statement which was pre-
pared showed liabilities amounting to £9,017 14s. Bd., and
assets to £3,718 is. 7d., being equal to about Bs. Bd. in
the pound. A resolution was passed desiring Mr. Thos.
Jolly, sea., the surviving partner, to petition for the
liquidation of the estate by arrangement.

previous gatherings of a similar kind as one possessed of
average interest and. importance. It would be mere
flattery to say .that the sojourn of the exponents and
votaries of science in the town of Liverpool has been
so agreeable as their visits to other and even
smaller places. Whether this arises from the
depression of busines, or from other causes, there is no
concealing the fact that the loading inhabitants, and
residents in the neighbourhood have not closely identified
themselves with the meeting of the Association. The
sections -have been varied enough, lint they have lacked
some of the freshness and vigour which have
characterised the proceedings on many, former
occasions. It is generally admitted that it
would have been better if the meeting had
been held a fortnight or three weeks earlier.
This defect will be remedied next year, as the
Association will go to Edinburgh in the middle of August.
Six of the sections had a brief, and only sparsely attended
sitting yesterday, for the purpose of clearing off such papers
as could not be read on Tuesday. It was stated that the
association had granted £1,840 for various scientific in-
quiries, also that the tickets issued numbered 2,878, yield-
ing £3,096. There was a concert in St. George's Hall
in the evening ; and several excursions are arranged for
to-day.

The foot-and-mouth disease is spreading with extra-
ordinary rapidity in the county of Somerset. The fresh
outbreaks during the past week affected over 2,400 head
of stock, including more than two thousand cattle. The
epidemic has now appeared in quite a new quarter of the
county—namely, in the Long Ashton division, and as this
part of Somerset adjoins Gloucestershire there is a fear
that the disease may spread in the latter county, in
which; indeed, it has already appeared—namely, at Hen-
bury, near Bristol.
