The eLuxemburgOuestOn.

New York. April 22.-The Paris cor
espondent of the London Times gives
the following rumors: That Marshal
Mcmahon has been sent for; that
the French Government has sent an ener-
getic note to Prussia on the LuXemburg
question, and that certain. officers of staff
have been sent on mission to the Rhine.
The people believe France drifting into a
. war. There is general stagnation of bus
iness, and the spirit of commercial and in
dustrial enterprise is especially paralysed.
The Standard draws conclusion that Lux
emburg must be evacuated by Prussia, or
after brict delay there will be war. Most
strenuous efforts are making to supply the
French army with breech leaders. Ahun-
dred and fifty thousand will be ready to
serve out within month.
~ 1t is reported also that the army of Ly-
-ons, has been ordered to hold itself in
readiness. Notwithstanding these rumors
there is panic for the time on the Bourse.
The Marquis Mnustier, on the Sth. stated
by order of the Emperor, to the French
legislative body, that the government was
brought to the consideration of the Lux
emburg!question by the thought only of
cOnciliation and peace. The French Gov
ernment is disposed to examine the ques-
tion in concert wi ith the Great Powers, and
believes, therefore, peace cannot be dis
turbed. as .-ss.s- ss. @as~
There was panic on the London Stock

ST.. LOUIS, April 22.-The Mayor and
City Comptroller have arranged with the
National Bank of the State of Missouri, for
temporary loan of 100000, which will
enable the city to pay the interest on her
bonds, due in July and August, and also to
meet all other obligations. This loan was
considered necessary, by change of law in
assessment, by which the city now receives
taxes in November instead of June, as
heretofore. The State banks have all been

The Democrats correspondents with Gen.

those present gave but an equivoeal reply
to General Hancock's speech to them. The

New YORK, April 22.-The Herald's Ber-
lin correspondence says: The members OF
the German Opposition party in the Legis-
lature, triumph over Count Bismark, by the
vote rendering the Government amenable
to the Representative body, on all matters
relative to federal taxation. The vote was
very close, the Liberals carrying their
amendment to the tax levy clause in the
draft of the constitution by a majority of
three only, but the result augured badly for
the fate of the new normal military budget
of Prussia south. Germans naturaliZed as
citizens of the United States are in danger
of being held to military service on revis-
iting the States, which have entered into
the new famous secret treaties with Prus-
sia, Bavaria, Wurtemburg and Baden.
A Movement to Cede Gambia to Greece.
