MORE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE. "A
London despatch reports that the armies of the
Grand Duke Of Mecklenburg- Schwerin and OF
General Won Falkenstein are In France, that
of the former being with the main army in the
Ardennes, and that Of the latter being at
Bouzonville, not far from Metz. Should this
news be true it Is certain that MacMahon
will have to fight more enemies than he calcu-
lated on.

TIE FRENCH CABLE is about to be repaired.
The cable steamship Robert Lowe, which
arrived at Halifax on Tuesday, sailed on
Wednesday for that purpose. The French
cable has been out Of repair and unused for
some time, although the heavy press Of de-
spatohes from Europe has been more than the
English cables could we'll bear.

GOLD AND THE EUROPEAN WAR.-LatterIy
the gold speculation follows the course OF the
London money market rather than the reports
from the war In France. Yesterday the Gold
Room was treated to French victory, but
gold declined because our bonds In London
rose to SSt, which is only few per cent
below the figures at which they stood when
the war broke out,

Situati0n-Mac MahOn Facing
Prince Charles.
Tho War

Prince Charles.
Our dispatches this morning do not indicate
that there was any fighting of Importance
yesterday. No additional details Of the
battle of Wednesday are given, and dispatches
from Paris state that no news Of such battle
has been received there. An encounter is
said to have occurred at Longwy, town near
the Luxembourg frontier, in which the Prus-
slams were w0rsted, being compelled even to
take refuge in Luxembourg, where they
were disarmed. If such Ia the case
MacMahOn must have pushed his troops
very rapidly, and the troops he encountered
must have been the advance forces of Prince
Frederick Charles, as the Crown Prince is yet
on the line Of the Mouse, probably crossing
that river to continue his pursuit of Mac
Mahon. The reported battle is probably q
mere skrmish, as nothing more than the
extreme vanguard of MacMahon could have
reached that point, and the main body of
Prince Frederick Charles army Is much nearer
Metz. The advance Of MacMahon has proba-
bly, struck the vidcttes Of Prince Charles, but
such skirmishes are the preliminaries of all
great battles, and an important engagement
between the two armies may occur to-day.
Ia the meantime Bazaine, In his cage at
Metz, Is making desperate efforts to get Free
He co-operates with MacMahon by keeping
General Steinmetz in play, while the army Of
relief is winning its daring way through the
lines Of the Prussian Princes. Everything
depends upon the rapidly with which the
Grown Prince moves. He has not heretofore
proven laggard, and in the very midst Of the
coming battle he may swoop like an ava
lanche upon the rear of MacMahon and crush
him. If he delays, MacMahon may rout
Prince Charles and then Steinmetz would be
but q single mOuthful

ANOTHER FRENCH AHMY.-Our dispatches
refer vaguely to French army one hundred
thousand strong advancing upon Epernay or
Chalons. What force this is and who COM
mands it is not stated, but from the fact
that the Prussians have retired from the
vicinity of Rheims and retreated from Chalons
it would appear that French movement
on their flank and rear has commenced.

BAzAINE's MovEMENTs.- mystery which
has shrouded the army Of Marshal Bazaine
since the battle of Gravelotte Is not yet re-
moved. Several dispatches from Paris and
London report his having gained decided
victory at Courcelles but as there are several
places of that name In the same district of
country it is difficult to say where he is.
There is village called Courcelles situated
near Metz, on the railroad to Saarbruok, and
if the battle took place there it is evident that
Bazaine is on one of the Prlssian lines Of COM
munication. 1t is impossible, however, to
offer any opinion as to his whereabouts, so we
merely chronicle the fact of his reported battle
and victory.

THE SIEGE OF STRAsBoURG.-Our latest
dispatches represent the city Of Strasbourg as
holding out, despite the fearful bombardment
to which 1t has been and still is subjected.
The commander Of the fortress and the citizens
are said to be determined never to surrender,
but to burn the place rather than permit the
Prussians to occupy it. Divested Of the Idle
in the last ditch" heroics, it is evident that the
French are defending Strasbourg with great
heroism. 1t was charged in the Corps Legis-
latif that the Prussians shelled the dwelling
part of the fortress, and refused to allow the
women and children to leave, for the purpose
of compelling a speedy capitulation. They bad
failed, however, in their design, as the people
remained resolute and defiant.

The German war loan Of seventg-dvo
millions Of dollars has not been taken up with
the alacrity which distinguishes the French la
their war loans. While the French people,
however, under the teachings Of the empire,
make very few investments Of their money
outside OF France, the Germans are ready for
q venture in the uttermost parts of the earth,
upon good interest, with good security for
the principal. Thus, for instance, the Ger
mans hold nearly thousand millions of
United States bonds. They took them because
they had faith In our government and were
satisfied that six per cent interest In goId wss
o good thing for the bondholder. The French.
on the other hand, have invested very little Ia
our government securities, because, az a
people, they are not in the habit Of putting
their money Into any securities outside Of
France. When their own government, there
fore, calls upon them for . loan, the French
people rush with their savings to take 1t up.
They have been keeping their little stores Of
money-the accumulations, often, OF years OF
industry and economy--for this very purpose.
as q safe place Of deposit. Hence, while the
late French war loan was subscribed for on
the spot and twice beyond the amount re-
qulred, the German war loan gets on more
slowly, because the savings of that people
have already been invested in United States
bonds, aud the holders do not care to depre-
ciate their value in o general rush to sell.
'Slow and sure" is the German motto in turn
ing their money from one investment TO
another.

Now York Poiitics--GrceIey for Governor.
The Democratic State Central Committee
have called State Convention to be held In
the city Of Rochester ON the 2lst of Septem-
Der. This Convention will have very little to
do. 1t will nominate Governor Hoffman for re-
election, and he will BIO reelected, probably. by
seventy thousand majority The other mat
ters connected with the proceedings Of the
Convention will be of small moment. But
the fact Of the Convention being called at all
at the date named is an assurance that the
endeavor Of the Tilden ring of the democracy
for an extra session OF the Legislature il
abortive.
The republicans meet in Saratoga on the 7th
Of this month. Their proceedings will be unu-
sually interesting and probably very harmo-
NOUS. Philosopher Greeley will be nomi-
mated as their candidate for Governor; and
why should be not be? Greeley is the man
for the republicans. He is the man for their
times. He Is far In advance of the ounces who
have been endeavoring to run the government
for the past ten years. Massa Greeley may be-
come Governor Greeley, if the good sense of
the Saratoga Convention shall select him as
the republican candidate for Governor Of the
State.
Let the Republican Convention nominate
Greeley for Governor and the contest will be
quite interesting.

The King OF Prussia says Of the battle Of
Beaumont, 'MacMahon was beaten and driven
from Beaumont across the Mouse to Mouzon"
Across the Mouse was exactly where Mac
Mahon wanted to 60 in pursuing his plan of
striking the forces that held Bazaine; there
fore the mere hurrying his passage is a dis
aster only in 80 far as he may have suffered
loss not necessary to the accomplishment Of
his purpose. His Prussian Majesty reports
the capture from the French of twelve guns and
several thousand prisoners. The small loss Of
artillery indicates that the French were not in
such hurry to get away as they have been
on some occasions lately the more especially
as MacMahon Is reported to be rich In artil-
lery and to have not less than six hundred
cannon.
MacMahon was at Chalons, 1t will be remem-
bered, when the Grown Prince of Prussia had
his army between Bar-le-Dh and Troyes.
MacMah0n retired upon Rheims, as If pretend
ing only wish to cover Paris, thas hoping to
tempt the Grown Prince to push his march
thither He was in some degree successful
in that man1uvre, since II resulted In
leaving MacMahon two marches nearer
to the armies about Metz than the
Grown Prince was. He had then the opportu-
nifty, apparently, to throw himself upon the
Prussans who held Bazaine-and by thus
turning the scale Of power and numbers against
them crushing them before the Grown Prince
could come to the rescue. This was bis pur-
pose, and to accomplish 1t he had to cross the
Mouse near Sedan. 1t is reported he did this
successfully on Tuesday, and the Kings report
seems to be Of an event coincident with or re-
lated to that passage. 1t was, therefore, very
likely, an affair of the Prussian corps named
in the Kings despatch, with MacMahon's rear
guard, or with corps posted further up the
river purposely to cover the crossing. The
fact that this force retired across the river be-
fore the Prussians is in some degree an indl-
cation that the main force was then already
safely over. The affair on the heights be-
tween Vouchers and Attlgny was evidently
with MacMahon's rear guard.
1t is evident, therefore, that MacManon has
succeeded in so far as getting over the river
is success. He is now, therefore, or at tho
date of the lighting at Beaumont, was, on the
same side of the Meuse with Frederick Charles
and Bazaine and the army of Stelnmetz,
while the Crown Prince was on the other
side. Bazaine and MacMahon together
must outnumber Steinmetz and Frederick
Charles, and might Outright and whip
them If they are able to move with suf-
fcfent celebrity to strike before Frederick
William can cross the Meus But the Mouse
is, perhaps, not great obstacle to these
armies, and therefore it's division Of tho Ger
man force is rather nominal than real! All
the way from Verdun to Dun the Germans
must have both banks, and they cannot DO
without pontoon traip Yet there is jus!
possibility, though no more, that the French
may be able to strike the Germans east Of the
Mouse before those west Off eau get over. In
that case they ought to whip them.
