SIEGE OF STRASBURG.

The Daily News' correspondent at Carlsruhe
says —" Upon being informed of the important
events which had taken place at Sedan, General
Uhrich proposed to surrender Strasburg provided
his forces were permitted to march out with all the
honours of war. The German commander refused
these terms, insisting upon an unconditional sur-
render, The bombardment is now being continued
with incre aged rigour, but the assault is not ex-
pected to take place in less than a fortnight. The
fire is entirely concentrated on the fortification.
Troops have been despatched to occupy the Upper
Rhine districts, and to stop attacks on trains coming
from Basle."

The Echo publishes the following telegram,
received from its own correspondent, dated
Sept. 8 (Eight a.m.)—Arms have been obtained
for 90,000 fresh troops, who will be raised at
once. The police have been dismissed by an
edict of Count Keratry, who has ordered the
formation of a new corps without .swords. Paris
is perfectly quiet.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL AT IT AST,llips.
Tho Picinee Imperial is still at the Marine Hotel,
Hastings; and since his arrival there has been visited by
several distinguished persons from London. The Prince
appears to be in good health. He has employed his time
to some considerable extent in visiting places of interest
in the locality. He appears in public, walking on the
Esplanade repeatedly. Happily he is not pursued by
vulgar and offensive curiosity. He acknowledges politely
the salutes made to him. The Mayor of Hastings has had
an interview with him, and was courteously received. It is a
somewhat singular coincidence that many years ago, when
Napoleon, the father, was a refugee in this country, he
visited for a short time, at Pelham Cottage, which imme-
diately adjoins the Marine Hotel, now occupied by his
son. The chamber in which the father slept is separated
by only the partition wall from that in which the son
sleeps. •

INQUEST ON THE MAN FOUND SHOT AT
DUNGARVAN.

The inquest on the body of the man, Patrick Fitzgerald,
found shot through the lungs, at Dungarvan on Tuesday,
was held on Wednesday, but the evidence threw
little or no light on the occurrence. It was
proved that three men named Foley, Walsh, and
Power, were friends of the deceased, and were with him
shortly before his body was discovered. Power and Foley
were discharged by the Coroner, but re-arrested by the
police, pending the magisterial investigation, at the close
of which they were admitted to bail. It is now thought
that the four men were Fenians, and that Fitzgerald was
accidentally shot while they were handling revolvers.
