eight guides, and the porters accompanying

The latter had heretofore made the ascen-

STRASBURG.

Garrison Removed to misunderstanding
Formally Occupied by Prussians-
Strasbur9 Surrendered to the Inevit-
able-Numbcrless Victims of Fever
Inhabitants Generally Famishing-
Ulrich Wept When He Surrendered.
LONDON, September 29.-1he garrison of
Strasburg have been removed to Rasdadt,
Baden. The Prussians formally occupied
the city to-day.
Especial to the New York Evening Telegram.l
LONDON, September ga dispatch has
been received from Mundelshe;m, dated
yesterday, stating that Strasburg surren-
dered only when the helpless condition of
the place rendered it almost inevitable.
The victims of heart-rending fever, which
was prevalent in the city, seemed almost
numberless. The inhabitants generally
were famishing, and the dead and dying
were lying in crowds in the streets. This
state Of things decided General Ulrich to
capitulate; in doing so he shed tears, and
exclaimed, as the Prussians entered the
city, "J'ai fait mon devoir."

A Beautiful sunset.

Last evening was remarkable for the most
New Orleans for long time. The piles of
clouds around the descending luminary
were tinged with every variety of color and
every shade The effect was heightened by
a prevailing rose-colored effulgence that not
only gilded the many shaped clouds, but
frightened the church towers and steeples
and the tops and walls of the higher houses.
The whole effect was extremely rich and
beautiful. Attractive as this sunset was, II
is but the precursor Of the equinoctial
storm that is surely approaching and will
be upon us in few days.

ment will present the project of law for
complete emancipation of all slaves.

Not a single dwelling house has been
erected in Halifax, Massachusetts, within
the last eighteen years.
Perhaps tue blight has fallen on Halifax
because that little town, only dozen miles
from Plymouth Rock, was the birthplace OF
Hiram Fuller, the New York journalist, who
went to London and united himself during
the war with paper that espoused the
cause of the Southern Confederacy. 1t is
quite probable that Hiram is more proud OF
Halifax and its pine woods than Halifax is
of Hiram, the renegade Puritan.

LONDON.

North German Confederation Active
Friendship Between Austria and
Prussia-Increase of Specie in the
Bank Of Englansl-Accusation Against
Jules Favre-Russian Preparations on
Gigantic Scale.
LONDON, September 29-The Wurtemburg
Gazette, official organ, denies that it is the
intention Of that government to enter the
North German Confederation.
Active friendship between the Austrian
and Prussian cabinets has been noticed.
A writer in the Post hopes England will
not be sacrificed to her cousins.
Increase Of specie in the Bank of England
is f6O6 600.
Some Of the Paris papers accuse Jules
Favre with having acted upon private un-
derstanding with Bismarck.
The preparations of Russia proceed on a
gigantic scale; great activity everywhere
prevails.
Especial to the New York Times.
LONDON, September 29-Information OBJ
tanned from q well informed quarter states
that the pressure brought to bear
on the English ministry by such men as Sir
Henry Bulwer on one hand, and deputa-
tions of the radical party on the other, is
producing its effect upon the government
which is likely to depart from its policy Of
abstaining from active mediation. The
working classes favor o determined effort to
stop the war. 1t is curious to see that while
the monied men are against Intervention,
all the military and naval men are loud in
their expressions of indignation because
England makes no effort to save France
from ruin.
The Belgian government forbids stock
fairs or exhibitions, to prevent the spread
Of the rinderpest.
The Moscow Gazette says; Russia loses
power because France is no longer coun-
terpoise to Prussia, who is now able to
assail her neighbOrs with impunity.

BERLIN.

Three Opinions in Germany About Peace.
BERLIN, September 29.-Three opinions
prevail in Germany regarding the runors
of peace. One party agree with Bismarck
that the war ought MOTTO stop until Alsace,
Lorraine and Metz are annexed to Germany,
from whence they were taken.
The other party demand the dismantle-
ment of Strasburg and Metz, and indemnity
for the cost of the war.
Another party demand Alsace and mar
row strip Of Lorraine in the east, where
German is still the prevailing language.
The Cologne Gazette favors the last plan.
